my dad gets mad at me for leaving the portable phone in my room or just having it while i'm not on it. so he leaves at 8am while i'm asleep and leaves it in the basement. meanwhile both anna & hannah call and i miss both of them b/c i can't hear the phone and even if i could hear it i wouldn't know where to find it.
oh, it gets better too. so 3 days ago i come home from classes and its 93 degrees outside with like 80% humidity. he tells me that i need to cut my grandmother's grass but not right now b/c its too hot and he won't be able to help me any other time. ok, i do it 90% of the time without him. so i call grandma and let her know that i'm coming over the next morning early to cut her grass. that night it rains. i wake up early to go cut the grass and my dad tells me 'its too wet, the mower won't cut well' ok, fine by me, i'll just wait till later. "you need to call your grandmother and let her know you cant cut it now, its too wet." so i do and she says thats fine, she figured i'd wait till it dried out. i come upstairs and get on the computer real qwik. he comes out and sees me i tell him 'i called grandma and told her i'm going to wait till it dries out and she said that'll be fine' "What?!? why?!? you should've cut it yesterday!" whatever. friday i only have 1 class so i come home early. "you know now no matter when you cut your grandmother's grass you won't get paid; she's out of town" "yea, i know" "well i'm not going to give you any money for food or gas this weekend then" what?? anyone see any logic here? if so, please enlighten me. so when mom gets home, i tell her. so my mom & sister leave to go to NC to meet up with my grandmother. as they're leaving my mom gives me money & says "don't tell your dad" ha. and you wonder why i like my mom more than my dad...
anyways. last night was pretty good. i went to the football game and mrs. austin was working the gate, so yet again, i had to pay to get in because shes anal beyond belief. i sat nd talked with mitch's girlfriend from canada (my girlfriend who lives in canada?) during halftime. she was pretty cool. it was funny though b/c it was her first football game ever and the first time she'd ever seen cheerleaders in person. so she was excited. lol and she was "immersing [herself] in georgian culture" she would cheer whenever anyone else cheered, so i explained what was happening in the game. after halftime we went up to the bandroom and hung out for a little bit. for all of 3rd quarter i played trumpet. it was kinda sad because i haven't really played trumpet in.... about 4 years, and ian was like 'you need to stop playing, you're making us look bad' all i was doing was playing half the stuff up an octave. it was fun though. afterwards i took the quints up to the bandroom which killed my hips. =P then i took maddie to waffle home to meet 20 other people from the band. so we walk in & its really really smokey, like 3 times worse than normal. so we get booths and order drinks. after sitting there for like 15 minutes and a firetruck pulls up with the lighs flashing & everything and 5 minutes later the waitress comes over & tells us the fire department told them they can't cook - something's wrong with the stove. argh. so we pay for our drinks and the porters, dru, kate & i sit outside and wait for kate's mom. oo! and i got a "Re-elect Dubose Porter State Representative" hat. its apparently like 6 years old and theres only a few left, but he gave it to me. so, hannah, when you guys get home, i'm wearing it over to your house. heh
so now i'm home alone with the music turned up, just chillin. feel free to gimme a ring. if you don't know my number, IM me or whatever. catch you kids later.
love ya
