I have a friend. Her name is Sam. Yes, "her", implying she's a female. Anyhow, she's 16 and got kicked out of her house by her drunk mom and stepdad for being a negative influence on her little 8-year-old brother by not cleaning her room.
So, for the past week or so she's been staying in a trailer with a family of stoners, broke, going nowhere. Plus she's alergic to cats, and they have five (I have two, but that's not nearly as bad).
So, she IM's me last night. "Joe.. let me come live with you." After explaining it all to me, I figured it was pretty legit, talked it over with my parents, so now we're playing it on a day-to-day basis. She's sleeping her tonight, and probably tomorrow night (she's coming to drama practice / sign language lessons with me tomorrow). Tuesday will be harder because I have to work, and job shadowing is pretty much out of the question because it's a "distraction to my guard".
Anyhow, Sam's sleeping on the couch (boo) in the other room. I have to wake her up tomorrow to make sure she gets up on time for school, hehe. More to come, if there is anymore.
