My Weekend
I had a good weekend. Friday night Sam stayed in, but I went out with Cindy, Sydney, and Johnny. Before that I went to the Monte Vista with Emily, which was nice. I hadn't gotten the chance to sit and talk with her in a while (other than in the classroom). I had my usual kamikaze! Then, Syd and I hung out at Cindy and Johnny's place, and at one point, Cindy and I went downtown to get a few drinks. I needed more kamikazes! Good times. Saturday I was lazy and that night Sam and I hung out with Cindy, Johnny, Kirk, and some of their friends. We were out until 5am...it was a good time. But then I slept until like 3pm on Sunday!! I don't get to do that often, so it was actually quite nice.
So Ricky emailed me back regarding the guitar center checks. He was actually nice and had some nice things to say. I found out that I misread the Myspace bulletin regarding Danny and the Vehemence show. He is actually filling in bass for the band Rebirth (a local band in Phoenix) and Rebirth is opening up for Vehemence. SO at any rate, that doesn't change my initial feelings on the show anyway, but I had to make the correction for the record.
It was nice to actually have a correspondence with Ricky that was pleasant. He told me he hoped I was doing well - which is a HUGE contrast from our last few emails. I am not saying I am totally over what he has said to me, but it certainly makes things easier. I would hope that someday Ricky and I can be cool with one another.
My mother and I talked today. I hate how when she and I talk, a lot of the time we end up arguing about something. I had mentioned to her the whole situation with my job and how my dad had offered to pay me so I could quit my job. But I then proceeded to tell her I was not going to do that because I would feel bad about my dad paying me when I am not working for it. Then she proceeded to say that I shouldn't do that because my dad can't afford a new truck because he has to pay on my college loan each month. First off, I had already said I was not going to have him pay additional money for me (because I already knew he and she were making monthly payments), so I don't really need her to tell me not too again. Plus, I also don't need her to tell me that he can't afford a new vehicle because of my college tuition (especially when I am well aware of what they are paying). Now, if I had told her I was going to take my dad up on the offer and she wanted to let me know that 'hey, maybe you should rethink that because your dad may not really be able to afford that, even if he said he could and here is why..' then I would have appreciated that. But that is not what she did. Then she made the point to say that they make sacrifices for me and I need to be aware of that. That sucks too because I have expressed my gratitude to them both for that (and my dad knows that but she obviously doesn't know that). I have given her cards for no reason just to say thanks, I have also told her thanks many times. I don't know what more I can do to show my gratitude at this point. I never ask her for money. I do my best to make it on my own out here. I don't know, she just treats me like I am ungrateful and show no regard for what she and my dad have done for me, and that is so far from the truth it hurts.
I have an exam this week to study for and tomorrow is Valentines Day. Despite how some people might feel on the holiday, I personally love it!
