If only for today, I am unafraid.......

So, last night, my dad gets a call from one of his old friends-John. John, his wife, Dad and Mom all went out to the bar for a few drinks. When they came home, my dad said that John was accepting house guests for the summer. I told him that I wanted to go. By the way, John and his wife live in South Carolina. They are loaded. They flew here on their PRIVATE plane for the weekend-just to visit. So anyway, I was talking to my mom about it, and she said that they live on a golf course and they have a niece who is staying with them who just graduated from high school this year, also. I told them that I wanted to go stay with them for the summer-or at least a few weeks. My mom didn't think it would be a good idea, just because I should be here. But why? What would I be missing here? I mean, all I do all day is sit around the house and wait until the time comes to clean the house or get yelled at. When I'm lucky, I get to leave and go tutor or go mow a lawn. Other than that, I do nothing around here. I was thinking that I would like to go for the month of July. That way, I wouldn't miss all the graduation parties, and I would be back in time to get things around for school in the fall.
This would still take a lot of convincing on my parents part, but I think this would really be a good thing for me. I just need to get away and see what the rest of the world (or South Carolina) has to offer me.
I would REALLY like to go and just get away for a little while, but I don't know how I would be able to convince my mom to let me go. I don't think my dad really cares either way, because he wants me to be independant and live life-to a certain extent. My mom wants to hold me in and not let me go anywhere or experience anything. It's so frusterating...
I doubt that I would ever be able to go, but it would be so incredibly awesome if I could. I really need something like this-more than anyone realizes.
Today, just chillin around the house. Thinking. That's the worst thing I could be doing right now. I need to stop thinking so much. I think that's what my problem is.
We all need to get together and go away. I don't care where or when or for how long, I just need to get away. Maybe a camping trip soon. It sucks because weekends are sucked up by graduation parties, so I can't just go away for the weekend.
Hopefully when July rolls around, and the parties die down, I will be able to escape and go somewhere. I just need to get away SOOO badly....
Well, I'm off to the bank to go cash my check-that's the only good thing about staying here- I get a VERY nice paycheck every week. *wink wink* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
If anyone knows of anything that's going on-bonfires, get-togethers, etc., feel free to gimme a call....I will probably end up not being able to go anyway, but it would make me feel loved to be invited-or at least to be informed of them....haha
Until we meet again,
~*KT*~
