oh, she's 14 and in 8th grade, if that helps!"
"Oh god. This is worse than heroin. You need to stage an intervention. See if you can find some good literature, with strong female characters and healthy relationships in it. Tell you that you're there for her in her time of need. Twilight is a dangerous substance and while there's a likelihood that she'll wean herself off it in her own time, it might be a gateway into worse things, and in the meantime you'll have to watch your poor sister struggling under its influence.
I hope you have some success with this problem, and I'm thinking of you."

I've wanted a pet for aaaaaaaages but it's so problematic. I mean, I like all animals so I'm not too limited by preference, but on the other hand... I have limited income and I have to get the idea past my parents. Which means no cats (dad hates them) and no dogs (too high maintenance and expensive, and would be troublesome to other people). First I would want to save up a pile of money for set up costs anyway because those are always the most expensive bit.
I've had mice before but I'd probably discount them and rats for being too small and not enough interaction - you can train them to be friendly and holdable, but they're not really what I'm looking for. Guinea pig would be more likely though I would have to research them a lot.
A bunny would be possible too though I have to research them too - I don't think my parents would like a bunny that's free range in the house much, when I was a kid we had bunnies in hutches outside but the hutch is in disrepair and I would worry about cold weather and escape.
It is possible that we could get an area of the garage cleaned up a bit to keep a cage or tank in for something, I suppose. However, that's separate from the house and kept locked, and... idk, I kind of want something that's more... in my face? I would much like to clean up my room completely as well so I can see how likely it would be that I could keep a cage or tank in here.
Reptiles are limited in New Zealand because of the risk of them escaping. There are no snakes, for example. If I wanted a reptile though I'd most want a bearded dragon, and from the poking around I did, they are really freaking expensive here.
idk. I wish I was on disability instead of invalid's so I'd at least be getting like $60-70 more a week instead of the crap NZ$147 I live on. It's enough when I'm living at home because I don't pay much rent but I can't move out. (Though I'd not move out if I was on disability either, I don't really want to add anything to stress, plus we get super internet here.)
