school and thoughts
In school,. i'm leaving for NH right after school. is this a life? by 5:30 tonight, i'll be sitting in front of a fire with the rest of my family, and either doing homework or reading a dorky scifi book. Not exactly a happening friday night. as much as i love skiing, sometimes i miss having a social life. (not that i'd really have one anyway) seriously, harvard square wouldn't be that interesting, and i know the dance will suck, but its one of those things that you want to go to anyway, no matter how pathetic it really ends up being. Its snowing, which ROCKS, but it also doesnt because it means that on the way up to NH my mom will be really grumpy and eat me.
Last night, I had the weirdest convo with the father. We were talking about how naive my mom is, and how she was really sheltered as a kid and how thats why she is so naive and innocent. Seriously, she just learned, the other day, that "lucy in the sky with diamonds" is about LSD, when my dad told her. She thought it was like a nice happy kids song or something, and she was pretty upset about the drug connection. She probably thinks she can't like the song anymore, now that she knows it's about something forbidden. As stupid and impossible as this seems, I have never actually heard my dad criticize her like really. It was weird, but I liked it. It made them both seem so much more human.
It's like whenever my mom makes me read and article in the newspaper about the latest horrible things that the local teenagers have done. She makes ME read it. I don't even know these people. She's just like i cant believe your people are like this. By the end of our one way discussion about it, I feel guilty. Like I should be saying i'm sorry, i won't let it happen again. It's a strange thing.
