I am officially registered as a student at Fullerton J.C.
NE way, welp, today was rather interesting.
I wake up to the shouts of my mother and my brother Brent concerning the becoming common arguement of his red (or at least it was once red now it is a sun bleached pinky purply color) Buick that has been sitting in the same spot on the street for two months.
Apparently, there is a law that a car that sits in the same spot on the street longer than four days is a violation.
So, logically, Brent recieved a warning so carelessly posted on the windshield of his car that his car will be towed away within seventy two hours if it is not moved.
So mother and brent express strong words concerning his car; mom insists it's ugly and a hunk of junk whereas Brent, naturally, begs to differ.
So, they argue and piss and moan and after Brent stroms out of the house I go down to eat breakfast and afterward am dragged to the bank along with my mother because I owe her and Tiffanie money.
Then I come home and my brother Brent has returned and since he knows that I really want to get my own vehicle this summer, he asks if I want to get used car magazines and check out some dealerships.
I was all happy and jumped at the chance of going so we did, basically to escape moms wrath and to hopefully get an idea of how much dealerships usually ask for new and used cars and trucks.
So we buy like six magazines and go to two dealerships before returning home.
Then a few hours later, Caitlyn calls and says that she, Dana, and Alex wish to stop by.
I agree, but really have nothing fun for them to do so I kind of felt bad about that.
So they read some of my Emily and Edward Gorey books and chortle with delight.
Then we watch some Daria and then they left to go visit Dan.
The night was pretty uneventful until Brent returned a thrid time and requested to speak with me.
He seemed really bothered by something and after questioning what was so important, Brent tells me that dad had an appointment with his doctor just yesterday and discovered that his cancer returned.
As I've mentioned before, he's been really sick and he's lost a lot of weight.
And what's weird is just this Saturday he called me wanting to know if I wanted to join he, Tyler, and Blaine (my younger brothers) to see a movie on Sunday, but I told him I was shopping with Kim and wouldn't make it and then we got to talking about him being sick and I said that I hoped it wasn't his cancer and he laughed and said, "Oh, don't worry. That's not coming back."
Although I got really worried and started crying Brent told me not to tell mom because Dad doesn't want her to worry because he doesn't know yet how serious it is.
I agree with him because although mom bashes dad whenever she gets a chance I know she still loves him.
I've just been really upset.
I'm sure everything will be like last time.
The cancer will just go away.
And everything will be good again....
