A Day At The Courthouse & iPods

Today I realized how interesting a courthouse truly is.
My brother had a courtdate today.This was his 3rd one in less than 2 weeks.
Well, the judge sentenced him to 3 years in jail.
At first it was going to be 5 so I guess this is better. My brother sorta pleaded insanity or something to bail on all his time.
His best friend's ex wife, Leslie* started crying when we told her later on.
You'd think my mother would be worried that her son, first born was going back to jail.
She wasn't, all she could focus on was how thin he has became & that maybe jail will "fatten him up" I have to admit, he is looking kind of anorexic. His face is so slim, his jaws & cheekbones are sunken in. He looks like Hilary Duff 3 years ago. Yeah, that's what this poor black family needs. Two anorexics & one is a guy a who's almost forty. He never eats, he's stopped drinking & he barely smokes.His weight dropped off like ice cream on a cone in 90 degree weather. She thought that he was coming home with us. When he didn't we were stranded in another county by ourselves. I'll get into that after this note....

Leslie drove the 3 of us to the courthouse in her oldest daughters car (we started our journey with my mother driving Leslie's raggedy car but it started smoking before my brother even drove it to our house) but seeing as how she had 4 kids to tend to, 3 grandchildren & some random 13 year old that kept talking to meh in the car. He's a talkative boy if there ever was one. I'm thinking do you NOT see this iPod & earbuds.It means DON'T talk to meh. I was going thur songs. He's like you like Hannah Montana too! Mikayla* loves her too, she's like 4 now I think .Kayla*, Leslie's daughter, had her at 16. I kinda felt retarded when he uttered those words. I like the same artist a fucking 4 year old likes.Gosh, just shoot meh now. He asked did I have Justin Beiber. Are u fucking kidding meh?! Eww. I'm like no! I don't like him. He's irritating. The boy asks meh why I think that. I tell him, Justin is 13 singing about love & trying to be all hardcore with Luda. He's a joke. He's worst than Aaron Carter. I liked him for all of a month! The boy was like I'm 13 & I know about love. I'm just said sure you do & changed the song to Alice by Avril. He said she looked different w/o make up. WTF? I'm pretty sure she was wearing makeup in the album art. He went on to tell meh about how he saw Alice In Wonderland in 3D. So did William, big freaking deal. I have it on DVD. Beat that! He Then he asked if I had Rude Boy by Rihanna. It was playing on the radio. He's like let's listen to it while it plays. WTF? As you know iPod touches play aloud. So we did. It was annoying. By the time the song was finished we had arrived at the court & I jumped out of the car.Good riddance big mouth little boy.

I spent almost 4 hours there. In that time I saw stuff. Stuff that should never be seen (kiddin) It's not a horror house. I got kicked outta the courtroom after 5 minutes for listening to music & being on YouTube, they didn't want meh online but they have wi-fi that isn't locked.Oh please, gimme a break. It's a trick. Also, the guard made meh take off my hat. I was pissed. So I went to sit in the hall for the remainder of the time.
Lots & lots of lawyers running back and forth. Those are some busy buggers. One woman walked by that caught my eye. Get this. One leg was bigger than the other. Let meh explain. One leg was normal size, NOT swollen or anything, just a regular sized leg of an average woman. The other leg was stick thin, like anorexic. I thought that maybe it was a fake leg but it looked realer than real. It has bruises & everything. I couldn't help but stare. It was sort of gross. Ive never seen anything like that before!
There was a deaf family. I watched them sign.I ♥ watching the hearing impaired sign. It's a learning lesson. They had a baby who looked like my other brother when he was a baby & a daughter about 12. She could speak really well so I assumed she could have heard too? I was really jealous of that little boy. He was getting all the attention, I mean I know I'm 20 but I'm cute. People should look at meh! I almost wanna have a baby now just to take it places & have people gawk all over it. EVERY person that passed by stopped to entertain him but I think he was really entertaining them. Later the 12 year old played Patty Cake with him, actually with his feet. Literally, she hit her hands up against his feet while he was in the stroller. She might not be deaf but she sure is dumb (that was mean o.O)
What I found off was pretty much everyone there was on having a case/trail too had children, mostly babies, no older than 2 years old. I can't believe that people with children would allow themselves to get in so much trouble. It was mostly males. Maybe the crimes they're in trouble for happened before the kids? You know how the justice system is, they're slow & they screw up. My brother is in jail for something he did like 4 years ago, driving w/o a license in a stolen car that wasn't stolen! The lady lied on him, she let him borrow it.
Anyhow, one girl was like 6 feet tall, not thin so it was kinda creepy, holding a newborn. I was thinking who, better what, sleep with that? Another girl wore 7 inch heels.I mean those babies were high. She was also holding a newborn, 2 giant designer bags & a baby bag, you know the kid you keep the kids stuff in, I'm not sure what they're called. She's gonna mess around pull a Britney & drop her baby on these days. She looked like she was struggling. Those two girls sat next to meh & started eating Sour Cream & Cheddar potato chips.I wanted to strangle them being they were at least 190lbs (smallest estimate), they could have just sat on meh.
Everyone just decided they would come and sat next to meh. Ugh.I was like STOP DISTURBING meh. A man with TOO MUCH cologne sat next to meh with two buddies. I was blasting my music.I didn't hear him the first time he asked meh to move over so the 2nd time he made sure to get an attitude with meh. He almost pushed meh over himself. I swear him and his buddies said something bad about meh.I was so annoyed.

Finally, mother came out & told meh my brother wasn't coming home. I didn't care. I mean I missed him but eh... I just wanted to leave that torture chamber. I was so frustated I ran to the snack machine & purchased a pack of Reese's cups & Cheddar Cheese potato chips. I waited as I watched the twirly thing drop them into the bottom of the machine. Gah! That's 450 freaking calories. I'm not fit to be anorexic some days. Now we had to decide how we were going to get away from that county. They discontinued bus service down there in March. The nearest MARTA station,which is also connected to our cities airport was about an hour $ 45 minutes away. I suggested that we walked. My mother isn't crazy.She said NO. We left the courthouse/jail area & walked across the street to the bonding company. We called the mother of my brother's best friend, Faye* She's about 65 & owns a beauty shop. Her home looks like a museum with priceless dolls everywhere but it's so dark & dreary. I hate going there.I'm afraid to touch/sat on anything for fear of breaking it. She agreed to come get us & in return my mother gave her $30. If she wasn't coming we were just gonna pay for a taxi. Here's the thing, yet again she has emptied the savings which is half mine for my brother. And since he's incarnated now I don't think I'll be getting my $35 back. While we waiting for her we walked another half of mile to the nearest gas station, QuikTrip. I felt like I was homeless again walking along the side of the world. All the people in their pretty cars passing us & the huge trucks taking items to only God knows where. I found a wallet, picked it up & threw it back in the dirt after checking for cash. Dammit! No one ever abandons their wallet with money in it. At QuikTrip, we sat under a tree waiting for Faye* A man stopped in a SUV stopped by us, handed my mother a few dollars & told us to get something to drink since it was hot outside. I had two Gatorades in my purse.I didn't think she would take it. She did said thank you, Gods gonna bless you to the man. Then said c'mon Brittanie, let's go get something to drink! I dragged myself up and went in to the store. Again I felt homeless only buying two CAN sodas. I usually spend like $15 in those little stations. Everyone was starring at us but the thing is, we were some of the better looking people around. That particular area is hillbillie/white trash/dirt poor people territory. No joke, not trying to be offensive but you all know I'm about as rich as the dirt in my apartments courtyard. There are trailer parks & people in cars from the 80's being held together by duct tape & ropes. I don't know why they were judging us. We're all in the same sinking boats they just had wheels whereas we were on foot. Oh wait, there we go! We're on foot hanging out in a gas station .Yeah, that looks right (sarcasm) When we went back to the tree another man in an SUV wearing shades stopped. He was looking at us & not in a good way. He was a creep. He slowly rolled by eying us. My mother was like I think he think we're prostitutes. OMG. Can u even prostitute at 12 in the evening w/o getting caught?! A truck that delivers gas pulled up. My mother ran next door to the abandoned car wash. I've never understand the point of a car wash. People are so lazy they can't take like 20 minutes, maybe 30 to clean their own damn car?! Can u say FAIL? I'm like it's just a truck, carrying gasoline. You're standing in a gas station. If I wanted to I could throw a match by a stall & blow us all up. She is so scary. Just as we had been at the car wash for 5 minutes, Faye came, drove right past us. We were frantically running thur the gas station to get to her b4 she figured we left and well left herself. I got into the car. She drove a stall.I'm thinking she was getting gas. No, she goes Brittanie, can u go get meh a Pepsi? Well since I didn't have to spend two hours walking to the airport, I humbled & went back into the store. Pepsi: 84 cents, paying for her to come get us: $30, 2 Mountain Dews earlier: $2, having that cashier treat meh like dirt once again: priceless. She actually thur the change at meh. She figured I needed the extra 16 cents. Then we were on our way & I slept in the car back to Atlanta. I woke up when we got to the bank so mother could get Faye's" money from the teller.

Oh, yeah. I missed my doctors (by doctor I mean psychological, not medical. I don't have one of those) appointment. My appointment was at 2:30pm. It was 2:15 when we got back to the city. It takes meh an hour to get to the place where therapy/doctor is. No way was I gonna make it without being an two hours late. CANCELED!

On another note,I totally got cheated by the Apple company. They fucking get on my nerves. I've had my iPod a week & one day, today. Everyone tells meh theirs last at least 2 days. Explain to meh why if I take mine off the charger & listen to it, it dies in exactly two hours every time! They cheated meh outta an entire day & 22 hours! I want my $200 back or so help meh GOD. I'll find my way to Cali & make them pay (meh back)
I'm going to have to get a wall charger at this rate or forget ever using it outside of my home. The red bar on the battery popped up an hour & a half into sitting in the hall but I kept listening. I milk my electronics for every drop they have. I carried it around the rest of the time even tho it was dead to look cool. It's shiny, it's slim. it's everything you wish you were :D
