'Tis April Now
Well... what has happened...
Tuesday 3/22 - Last day of school! I hung out with Enrique and Scotty after school. We went around town from place to place basically, unable to find something to do.
Wednesday 3/23 - Woke up to give my grad. speech. I got lucky with my judges. I had Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Baker. There was some other lady, but with the other two, I knew I'd be fine. Hung out with Scotty and Eric again, and we were unable to find something to do, again.
Thursday 3/24 - Had some people come over at night. That was fun. Scotty stayed the night.
Friday 3/25 - Hung out with Scott and Eric. We went to the coffee shop! Awesome! My mom got surgery for her broken foot today also.
Saturday 3/26 - Took Lindsay out to Kings, then went to Brothers set building. Afterwards, I didn't do much.
Sunday 3/27 - NO SUNDAY SCHOOL, NO SHOWSTOPPERS, NO PIANO!! But today began the big troubles. I woke around 12, and my mom said that my dad would make eggs. I come down, no eggs. Not a big problem, I would just make them. My mom wanted me to make more, but I didn't feel like it, so we started into an argument about my bad eating habits. It evolved into her telling me to go grocery shopping, and also basically go to college a year early, not graudate high school, and leave the house, because she doesn't want me there. Fun.
Monday 3/28 - Back to school... ugh. After school, I went to the coffee shop, then went out to Scotch Valley, then went to Lindsay's. I hope no other person ever has to go through what I did that night... it was very well timed, but DAMN.
Tuesday 3/29 - Well, today was the climax of problems. I went to frisbee after school, and my dad said to come home. He wouldn't tell me why, but finally said after about 5 minutes. I needed to be there in case something happened to my mom. MY BROTHER WAS HOME. UNLESS SHE TRIED TO HURT HERSELF, SHE NEEDED NO ADDITIONAL HELP. Anyways, when I asked later about what to do for dinner, my brother volunteered to make pancakes, and I would eat some too. I asked her what she wanted, and she said, "Oh, you care? Isn't that a first." I couldn't say anything other than drop the f-bomb. So as my brother was making dinner, she came out and started a tirade. She had another after dinner. Then, that night, I had to talk with her and my father. Great. So I lost car priveleges along with a little piece of my soul. So I went to sleep a bit after 1.
Wednesday 3/30 - Another day of school, more frisbee. That's about it.
Thursday 3/31 - Got my Fauré book back from Kaitlin, then showed up at Lindsay's for a bit. That's Thursday. Today was a year since Ben has died... it was a solemn day. We all miss him.
Friday 4/1 - I didn't play any jokes on April Fools Day... I just wasn't in the mood. So I went to frisbee again. I had to ride my bike which had an unpumped tire to and from school. That was a bitch going home. On the way home, the handlebars got loose too. Fun ride home. I went out to Creek Side Inn with my dad and brother. Yay. Then I went to sleep at 10 with the intention of waking up at 11, but that fell through.
Saturday 4/2 - I woke at around 9 feeling good. I went to Brothers set building again, then went to get a few job applications. Afterwards, I went to an indoor majorettes competition in Central. Hollidaysburg got first again! They also got another award for General Effect, I believe that's a caption trophy. Went to Kings afterwards with everyone, and then came home.
And since Tuesday, the amount of time I have spoken to my mother has been minimal, and she still has been trying to rip and tear out my inner soul. But I've blocked her out, so I'm good. I just know now that she will never listen to my side and basically have lost any hope of having a relationship with my mother (I hope that's wrong of course, but that's the prediction). It's a great feeling. Especially when you are told to leave the house.
Well, that's about it, I'll be in again sometime.
