Alex did a bad thing today.
As some of you have heard, as of now I will not be able to attend homecoming this year. Why? I blame it on the government. Well, this is how it went.... I live on 154th. Yes, its a lengthy drive, made even more lengthy by the constant nagging of my mother inside of my eardrum. Seriously, its like if a mini-her were actually standing inside of my ear poking at it with a stick, no, a branch....one with thorns. Anyways, I took as much yelling of hers that I could take until finally......I burst. She had been yelling at me because I was not doing my chores or something but mostly about the fact that I no longer was the daughter she had once had this beautiful relationship (yes, she actually said that) and that I spoke to her in a very mean way and that she didnt like it....to which I exploded ofcourse. I told her she was full of shit (I think that was the hook, line, and sinker for her). I also told her that I wasnt the only one who thought she was unbearably annoying (something else I shouldnt have said) and that if she asked around, the general consenses would agree that she needs to stop yelling at people (especially me) and maybe I wouldnt be such a pain in the ass. I got so frustrated that I started crying.....you know that crying where your just so pissed that its the only way to let it out rather than hitting someone. Yes, I am aware that I need anger management. Anyways, she threatened me with not letting me go to homecoming by saying "quieres ver?!?!"....which I HATE! Ofoucrse, my smart ass told her that I didnt care and that that wouldnt change anything because in two years I wont remember because I would be in Gainesville.....away from her!...to which she answered "ah si?" and that was that....alex isnt going to homecoming. o there you go....thats the story. I'm just waiting for her to come home to see if she has come around. Yeah, I feel really bad about telling her that stuff and I really dont ever do that to her but you can imagine how bad it was that I exploded like this. I suppose we'll have a crying fest tonight where we both apologize to eachother for not understanding eachother. whatever.
Even school has become a freakin economy....I've spent 36 dollars so far on stuff and thats not including homecoming (IF I can go)....damn capitalist!
Since you all seem to just love my cousin, I'll give you another story in the lives and times of Gabriela. Today while I was getting her ready for ccd, she was telling me about what she had learned about Martiin Luther King, Jr. I didnt know they started drilling that in at such an early age (shes 6) but w/e. Her story was and I apologize in advance..."A long time ago the whites and the blacks were fighting.(good enough up till now) The blacks were bad people and Martin Luther King Jr. killed the white poeple." At this point I was like, huh?!? Gaby are you sure that that is was your teacher taught you? She said it was and when I tried to explain the right story to her she couldnt understand it and started crying because she said I was stupid and didnt believe her.....im quoting here. Ofcourse I left it at that b/c really.....shes not mine to handle. Her mom called the teacher and she told her that most of the kids misunderstood the story and they went home saying the same thing. Great, my cousin's a biggot!
