due to popular demand
by some anonymous, very demanding fans o'mine, "it is time to update." so here we are.
so what's happened since i posted that father's day message...the formal happened, and while it was fun i guess, i kept getting the feeling we were somewhere no one wanted us to be. it didn't help any that my exciting parents refused to let me go to the afterparty, after a great long period of time of moving back on forth on the proverbial fence (as of 8:00 pm i still didn't know!) and they had changed their reason for it four times- first that i didn't give information, and then when i gave information, they said that they knew at al's party there was alcohol, and then after that i should come home because then i wouldn't get a "good night's sleep", and then when that was rebuffed, that they didn't know anders and therefore will not let me go. this was very frustrating and unfortunately i let it get to me, and i ignored them out of spite. and then when i got back home after going to al's place to pick up my stuff and then going to queen street/eaton's centre, she picked me up and when i entered the car i didn't say anything, and we argued and stuff. i explained why i was angry (that i didn't do anything wrong, that i've been a good son for like father's day and everything, that i dont even ask to go for most parties because i know they won't let me, thus proving that i'm responsible, and there was another reason but i forget) but then she argued every point, proving i CANNOT stand up to my mom, told me that THEY were mad at ME, and ends up i was wrong on a series of levels, and then she threw a non-sequitur (english'd!) at me, that she was going through a lot because no one sells 60th anniversary gifts becuase it is unlikely that both grandparents are still alive and married, as is the case with her parents, my grandparetns, who are celebrating this week with a family reunion. so she cried, i cried, i felt REALLY stupid, and i apologized. and that was that.
UNTIL FAMILY CAME. and it's been mostly death. yesterday, i went to go dim sum with da famz, and then followed by pacific mall and first markham (i mean what asian can come to toronto and NOT go to those two places) and then went home for dinner (thank goodness, unchinese food!). and then TODAY, i fortunately got out of anything family-related by going to play baseball/basketball with a few of my homefries, which was a lot of fun, and then i came home to find that MORE FAMILY had somehow made their way to my house, including a set of cousins that i hadn't met since i was 7 or something. and while i am very good at all social sitautions, this is clearly something i'm going to have to work on. they're highly athletic, smart, older than me, speak very good chinese and very good english and go in and out of languages...so, everything i'm not. :\ two more days...i'm muttering that under my breath until they get outta here. tomorrow, though, is the BIG DINNER, so perhaps i will get dressed up for it or something. we shall see what the attire is. i think it's just a chinese restaurant, but i would like to wear a suit becuase i like getting dressed up. DECISIONS OH GOD STRESS.
and tomorrow, i have to wake up at 7 so i can attend my sister's open house. i feel good that i'm being a good supportive brother and whatnot but waking up early is just not something i should be doing unless someone's pointing a gun at my head. means i have to sleep early tonight, too. :\
also, note the stunning new layout by chingess and all her underground contacts that make lj backgrounds for a living. kind of sad if you ask me. but don't get used to it- ill probably change this myself soon enough. when i get to it. eventually.
well that's it for now. i have to go watch the nba finals. GAME 7 WOOO IMPORTANT im such a nerd.
