hey whut?
I have been gone a couple days and I know that someone (and by that I mean me) is dying to hear about what I have been doing.
Not much actually.
I have been working at the dry cleaning place and sleeping and trying to decide on a shisha flavor for my hookah's maiden voyage. Finally my laptop understands the internet around here. Thank Buddha I don't have to lurk around my dining room at three in the morning to use the interwebs unmolested. I can do that in my room now.
On Saturday I went down to Alliance to hang out with Carly S. It was fun there was some soco+drpep. and rice, and grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Also we watched "Dark Side of the Rainbow" (the Wizard of Oz perfectly synced with The dark side of the moon album). We watched it as it was always intended and it was crazy great.
On Sunday I did a demonstration with my dojo for the Akron children's hospital benefit/festival thing. We did a good job I think, there were some katas, board breaking,and a few weapons. There was also a staged fight between me and two of the younger kids, the winner was ultimately the shortest one (I had one of my kicks caught so I wrenched and flipped to the side and was killed by having my spine stomped on). I think we did pretty good considering I was told about it the day before because my Shihan had forgotten it was happening until Friday. I called as many people I could and about half of them showed up (the others said they would be there but actually had prior engagements). After wards my friend John and I went and got free shoulder/back massages from the group near the first aid tent (why do you need a first aid tent next to a hospital?). Then we wandered around and collected free crap and all was fun times.
Yesterday I saw a movie with some friends of mine and we ghosted cherries bananas and pineapple into the theater and I cut up the stuff and made fruit salad (who needs overpriced death snacks when you can have fresh fruit salad?).
Today? I worked and then hung out at my not really my cousin's house watching the Cowboy Bebop movie in French (why not?).
Oh and the other say my sister got a car. My dad bought it for her and she didn't have to do anything at all in return. She is sixteen. I am Nineteen and I got my first car this April and as I have stated before a million things are wrong with it. Btw I need a new battery mine is shot from the previous shitty alternator so I need to go to autozone and pick me up a replacement cause that one is still under warranty. I would hold this car for my sister but never for the rest of us thing against my dad but he is a lonely man with a failing second marriage (due mostly to my crazy crazy stepmother who is controlling and has two drugged up whore children with no actual souls). I think the fact that none of his kids really acknowledges his existence is kind of hard on him but he was a douche to us for so long that I don't think he should be surprised. Unlike the rest who he claimed were slowly spiraling towards the the life of my brother Chris (working a machine shop at 25 and living with his girlfriend he plans on marrying) I have actually been the child he sets his expectations in because I look most like him and am "smart like he is". Apparently because I graduated with honors and resemble him the most out of all his kids he can be the most proud of me. . .but that also means he can use me as an example when any of my siblings aren't as successful. I never lived with him and I think he resents that a little. Especially since my brothers and sister all attempted to live with him at one point or another, my sister being the most successful though I think she stays now mostly because he would probably collapse into utter depression without her around (he would have no one to talk to). The only thing he could ever talk to me about was his hopes for me, how much he knew I would succeed, stories of past successes and his childhood.
My biggest feeling of awkward was when he explained that even though he "respected my decision to not engage in frivolous consorts with boys because my grades are important to me", if I ever had any kind of relationship with a girl he would disown me. "I would never speak to you and would not help you in anyway with college or your life. That bridge would be burned and would never be rebuilt" He told me this once in a nonchalant way while in the car. I didn't really understand what he was talking about or why he felt the need to bring it up but now I realize that it wouldn't have mattered anyway because I barely talk to him (two five minute awkward conversations since January) and he is no help in college or my life anyway.
. . .I need to stop typing now I went on a tangent. I'll post again in later days.
