Today has been one of the laziest Independence Days that I've had in a while. I would have considered it to be a relaxing day, if not for the random but annoying requests from my mom. It would be a stretch to say that she's nagging me, but for some reason I'm finding that I'm having little tolerance for her requests. It seems as if she has a knack for calling me to do something when I'm busy, or trying to relax on a day off from work. I attempted to play The World Ends With You but lost interest as my levels of annoyance slowly rose. I'm not really sure why I am so annoyed today but I just am. To clarify I'm the one who's moody, not her. It's not her fault but I'm sort of in a "I did my chores for the day so leave me alone while I lay here and play video games on my day off" mood.
We were also supposed to go see a movie together, but she changed her plans about three times over the course of the week. Such as wanting to cook meat on a grill (which we don't own or have space for), wanting go over someone else's house for some of their barbecue, and then wanting to go to the movies again at the last minute. Since the grilling thing wasn't working out, I'd already made plans to hang out with Tyrone and play Final Fantasy VII. So it was too late to see a movie with her, though I wasn't thrilled about Sex in the City anyway. I tried the TV show and it didn't really fit my tastes.
So I'm here alone, waiting for Tyrone and I admit that I do feel much better. Although just about every neighbor around here is throwing a Forth of July party so it's pretty noisy. Fortunately the roar of the air conditioner should take care of that.
As for tomorrow my mom, Mark and I are headed to see a Boyz II Men show downtown in Penn's Landing. I'm not sure when it starts but it'll be good to get out of the house, and I don't feel as bad about not seeing Sex in the City with her.
Now I actually feel better after some random venting, maybe this will be an okay day after all. Well, what's left of it. And no fiction this year, maybe next year.
