Hi Kids.
Well, last night was prom (my second, but it was my actual graduating year grade 12 prom, so that's okay). It was fun! I had fun without alcohol, and still danced like a maniac! Sophie and some friends did this giant Thriller dance in the middle of the floor, and everyone loved it. But the punch was watered down. OH, and it was at the Galt Golf and Country Club. HAHA at the last dance, I completely re-enacted the twilight gazebo scene, and it was hilarious. Corny as hell, but kind of great. My dress got finished on time, I'll put a picture up later, as soon as Jon's camera cord is found.. haha. It looked great though! I can't believe I actually made it. I'm pretty excited about sewing again, and have a bunch of great old patterns from the St. Vincent de Paul, and from Jon's grandma, from the 50s and 60s, so I'm going to make some mack daddy old dresses really soon.
Enough about prom business... Jon and I are still looking at apartments in Peterborough, we're hoping to get moved in on August 1st. My mom is being a donkey about us moving though. She won't help us go look at apartments, and she's all reluctant to help me with my OSAP. She's laying it all on my dad, and especially Jon's parents. They're being generous enough to take us to take us overnight to go look at apartments soon, AND they're paying for over half our rent and also helping with groceries, utilities, etc.. She said she "has a life and things to do on the weekend," and can't just give up a day to drive us to Ptbo... She got back together with her stupid boyfriend, for the THIRD time after they've broken up, and she's being all reckless and trying to relive her youth again, like she did when I was 12. I'm really upset with her right now. We never see each other, but we talk on the phone, and any time I bring up moving and her helping, she gets really angry and defensive, and says I'm just trying to use her. I don't know what's wrong with her, and I feel like I can't talk to her about any of this, and I need her to help right now, and I want to see her, because I won't much, after we move...
I've also been having some funny dreams and thoughts about my extended family. I really miss my aunts and uncles, especially my Aunt Joanne. I used to see her every day just about, when we lived on Albion, but things have been so weird since she got sick and since we had to move. My cousin (her son) moved into our old house that we rented from her, when he and his fiancee got engaged last summer, and that's okay. It's understandable. We weren't upset about it, but things just got weird. My cousin was mad because we left a DESK at the house, and wrote all these mean facebook (FACEBOOK) statuses about the house/us after it. Then he got married a few weeks ago, and he didn't even invite us to the wedding. I don't know what we did wrong. I'm pretty sure we didn't do anything wrong! I haven't seen or heard from my aunt in about a month, and it's making me really sad. I keep having all these weird, confrontational, sad dreams about them. I miss them so much, and I can't stand all this... tension and strangeness, and confusion about it all.
In 13 days, I'm officially done high school forever. I. Am. Stoked. I'm not going to graduation, because... That's not much fun. I'll just pick up my diploma after, I guess. Caps and gowns are heinous things. We're going to Jon's cottage for a week around that time anyhow, for July 1st and all of that, with some friends and Jon's family, and we're going to have parties ands soirées and good times all around. I need to find an old 1950s style bathing suit soon, or a pattern to make one! I'm really confused about school after that though, I mean the financial part. OSAP is so weird, I did register for it and all of that, but I still have to send in my student payment form soon. I'm just concerned about buying all the supplies and things that I need for school in the right amount of time before that. I need to get my chef's uniform stuff, all my tools and knives and whatnot, about $600 in textbooks, and a laptop, and more! Jeepers. I'm not planning on working till we get to Peterborough in August... There's not much point in getting another job in Brantford for a month, month and a half before August...
Anyhow, I'm doing really well and feeling good overall, and am really excited about things. My budgie is still being a big jerk though.
