this weekend i got into several arguments about stupid stuff. my mom's fiance got angry because he doesnt trust me to drive my mom's car. my mom had actually handed me the keys to her car and he made such a big deal that i gave them back to her. she says that i am a good driver and that i am doing everything that i am supposed to do, but he still says that he doesnt like it when i drive. he is so paranoid because it really doesnt make sense. he doesnt even have to say anything because you can tell by the way he's acting that he hates you doing something. it makes me really angry because i feel that i have been doing a great job and it aggravates me that he is not being supportive. whenever i do some crappy project he is very encouraging and supportive, but whenever i want to try something new, he does not know how to cope. i am kind of aggravated because he made my mother and i fight about the incident. i feel bad because she is stuck in the middle, but i still feel that you dont learn anything until you experience it. he seems to think that reading a book about everything makes it so that you understand the way to do stuff. unfortunately, in many cases experience is also a good teacher.
i also got into an argument with my mother because of the way my brother was acting. adam asked my mom why he is so scared of his father knowing about his actions, so my mother had me to help her explain it to him. i didnt really want to be involved because this is a very sore subject between her and i but she made me anyway. i really dont like talking about her ex-husband because we didnt get along very well and we were constantly fighting. my mom and i still disagree on this issue because neither one of us really understood how to handle it at the time.
on a better note, i am really excited about going to the prom with latia. i reserved my tux and will pick it up thursday before the prom. i decided that i wanted a retro tux-big shock- so i chose an old style with an ascot, etc. i think that the tux person thought it was kind of dumb, but everyone knows i am stuck back in the '70s. i dont know why, but i am. maybe its because of all the hours stuck listening to disco music or it could be that i have clothes at my house going back as far as 1950.
