Evening Reading

My 12 year old niece has this new friend. I don't know her name because she will only go by "Akumu". She is 13, and a complete japanophile. In fact, she has turned my niece into a little japanophile as well. All they do is watch various anime on youtube, draw chibi's on their pirated versions of photoshop and put little keychains on everything. They are 2 white girls in the suburbs of Phoenix.

As an aside, I am nearly certain Akumu is an emerging lesbian. For one, she just looks the part. Like a girl that is becoming pretty, but kind of shunning being too girly while also not being a total tomb boy. My niece is pretty, but also taller for her age and I think total dyke fodder. Also, my niece will occasionally talk about boys while Akumu just fawns on my niece and avoids the boy subject. She also actively despises Justin Bieber, and that little fag probably has earned the hatred of tons of gay girls.

That somewhat entertaining background isn't why I am posting this. I'm posting this because Akumu's life bums me out. Her parents are total pieces of shit. They both sit and play WoW and do nothing else all day every day. They don't work. I believe her dad collects some kind of disability and her mom "works for her dad". It's really hard to get anything out of her about it because it's clear she is embarrassed by the whole thing and her parents probably manipulate her into what she does and doesn't say.

They don't ever let her do anything except go to my nieces house, because they are neighbors. This is because Akumu has a younger sister (who I refer to as Akuma but no one gets it) and her fucked up parents basically restrict Akumu's life so that she can watch after her little sister while they just sit in front of their computers all fucking day. I so badly want to do something about it, but it's not like there is abuse or gross negligence (that anyone can tell). It's just a sad case of white trash producing a spiteful, unengaged teenager.

Maybe I should have Akumu make a shack account.
