okay, i'm not being dramatic, so chill! nahhh. maybe more people will read it if i promise to call some one a bitch at the end. YASSUR! so keep reading. or, you doogie howser's out there can just scroll to the bottom, but what fun would that be?! hehe. what i'm talking about not changing is the fact i'm skipping class, sitting in the union, drinking mootain dew, & eating doritos. this is the last time i will allow myself to skip spanish. i promise. i will study & go in there prepared on thursday. stop rolling your eyes bitches!
mom pulled out the old home movies on t.j. & i the other night. home movies are the new generation of embarrassing baby pictures. mom insisted we watched the musical i was in during high school, part of a band concert, & a video of me singing Jesus loves me at my pre-school graduation. i was quite adorable & talented i must admit! ;) one sec, while i pull up another chair for my ego to sit in. on that last tape there is also footage of my family around the same time. it was weird. mom & dad were like 34 in it, rachel was in 8th grade, shawn was in high school, & i was 5. it was weird. it made me miss those days. mom got really depressed & started crying because she said it was just a few months after the video was made that dad started his bullshit that is still going on today. the only difference is that mom, shawn, & i moved out. rachel's in s.c. & dad is somewhere. he is currently avoiding us because he knows mom needs him to sign the divorce papers. I dunno. just so much has changed since then. but not all of the changes are bad. mom is a career woman now & realizes how strong she is, shawn has a degree, has written a book & a screenplay, rachel is a nurse & is now a medical doctor, and i still have a way to go before i get there, but i'm in school, working, & in a a relationship where there is talk of an engagement. i know, the last post i was talking awful about him. but i really do love him & he has become my best friend, but in a different way than allie, sarah, & apey, and all of you. but relax. he knows that i'm not ready to be engaged for another year at least & i'm not going to get married for another 2 years either. but i just wish & pray dad could get some help & start getting in a better place.
anyhoo...i'm reading the bean trees right now. one of my professors gave it to me my freshman year, but i am just now getting to reading it. i love it! i think everyone should read at least one good example of appalachian literature. speaking of a good example of appalachian literature, i'm reading christy for my appalachian lit class. now that book sucks ass! not a fair assessment as i am not very far along in it yet, but it is just not my style. one class that rocks is my lit & film class. it is awesome. we are starting each text by first reading the novel, then watching & analyzing different films based on it.
well, i suppose i better go read some christy. ugh...i hope everyone is doing well. oh yeah...i almost forgot. who shall i call a bitch? hmmm...do do do...SPANISH IS A BITCH! HA! i know, disappoiting huh? sucks for you. ;)
