One thing I hate is that I pretty much don't even own most of the electronic devices that would be considered "mine".

I can't update my computer or download things onto it because there is an Administrator password on it, and my uncle is the admin. I have to ask him if I want to update it or download a game onto it or do pretty much anything, and my uncle doesn't live with me and almost never visits, so I can't do it. Also, even though the computer's technically mine, it has to go in the living room and not in my room. There was already a computer here, but my family decided to just throw that one away and put mine here. I know that the previous computer didn't work very well, but almost nobody ever used it other than me, so it wouldn't matter if we just kept that one here anyway.

And then there's my ipod, which I can't buy anything off of, because I don't have an apple account. I have to use either my mom's account (which doesn't have much money on it) or my grandpop's (no chance of that, because I've been in a bit of a fight with him) to buy stuff. No one's offering their billing information for me to use to create an account, even though I have a $20 gift card which I am refusing to add onto anyone's account until I get my own.

So I'm pretty much just stuck not buying anything on my ipod and sitting on the computer in my living room until I can start earning money for myself. It's interesting how the first thing most people will start saving up for once they're old enough for a job is a car, while for me it will be probably be a computer.
