Man… I found out I got screwed on my taxes…. hard…. My mom claimed me as a dependent… which… technically… I don’t think she’s allowed to anymore… unless I let her… I don’t live at home more than 3 months a year… and I pay rent when I do… and I’m at school… paying all my own bills… all my own tuition… bah… So anywho, being labeled as a dependent is REALLY hurting me! I figured out my Federal Taxes… and get this… as we stand now, I owe $340! I ran it again with the ONLY change being that I was NOT dependent and the difference? I woulda gotten a refund of $360!!! ok… difference? $700 I’m out of…. OUCH! I kinda needed that money for my college loans and future tuition that I’m 12,000 in debt on already since I’m paying for it all 100% by myself! So where is my tax money? In the hands of my Step-dad…. Will I be seeing it? Probably not…. this sucks….. I only made 11,120 bucks last year…. that money was like… a months worth of pay for me! ::sigh:: ah well…. I’m looking now on how to file for independent status… I’m also screwed on financial aid situations cuz I have to report my mom and step-dad’s income along with mine for the federal aid… and they don’t pay me squat for school… I pay it all…. so…. there’s less aid cuz the gov’t assumes they’d help me…. bah. I REALLY NEED TO BE INDEPENDENT!!!!!!!!!! stupid paperwork…. 
ANYway, I thought the following was cool so I put it up here… this is for all you war-protesting, tree-huggin hippies out there.
“It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.”
-Father Dennis Edward O’Brien, Sergeant, USMC
Mood: Crappy… being broke with bills and knowing the money I’ve earned is out of my reach… sucks.

That really does bite!!
Sounds like it’s time to talk with dear-ol’ mom…
Sorry about the taxes.
But that’s a great quote. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve talked to dear-ol’ mom… that got me what I expected… “well…. ….. we don’t have money to give you…. maybe I could get 100 bucks for you… but that’s about it… we just don’t have any….” yeah…. whatever…. I know what you DO have…. my 700!!!!
What do you do when people screw you over? SCREW THEM BACK… and least that’s what the bible says… it’s gotta be in there… somewhere.
I say dress up in women’s clothing and video tape yourself going in and out of the house when Tom is sleeping. Then hold the “I proved you’re cheating tape” ransom for $700. If that doesn’t work… cry and beg like a little girl.
being that Luke IM’ed me at 10:55pm…. and that comment was left at 10:53pm….. I REALLY wonder WHO could have POSSIBLY left that comment under Bethany’s name…. ….. hmmm…..
