(no subject)
Today has been surreal. I'm sleep deprived, but not tired, but weird weird things have been happening. First, my dad is posessed. He has acted rational, maybe even nice to me. Am I speaking too soon?
First of all he emailed me with an aoplogy for something. Doubtless it was Hilary's idea, but I'll count my blessings. it is more shocking to me that it is in email form since last time I flipped out and emailed him i got grounded partly because i didn't bring my problems to his face. (I tried that and you told me to shut up and stop whining cuz i was ungrateful...) So, he is a hypocrite, but he emailed me. here is our brief correspondence:
Him:
> Kate,
> I didn't intend for my face to show anger when you left last night. I
> intended to show disappointment. We don't get to see you often
> enough. I do understand you are a busy teenager.
> Love,
> Dad

I didn't think you were mad, but I also don't want to disappoint you. It's
a precarious balance because I feel that if I were any less busy I wouldn't
make enough money or get satisfacotry grades even though it cuts into family
time. Thanks for following up and thanks for the Risotto. I will doubtless
be over there later this week gathering whatever I forgot. See you then,
Kate
(i dont tell them that i have no desire to actually spend "family time" with them. Involves too many screaming children and awkward silences... I wonder if he notices that i dont sign my emails with love...)
Him:
You can always make less money as far as I'm concerned. You have rich
parents.
(that came out of no where)
and my response that i haven't sent:
yeah, rich parents that cant agree to pay for anything. So I guess this means my rich parents are paying for my europe trip? should i assume that my rich parents will be rich and civil?
Should i send it? how long can this last? I'm sure as soon as i get honest with him he'll snap. It's funny i wouldn't even consider being completely honest. Cuz that would go something like this:
well you weren't so ok with me making less money last year were you? last time i was going on a trip? last time... it's funny that a few days ago he was jsut complaining about having to buy microsoft word for me. he told me it could be my christmas present. well thanks. shit, if it's gojng to be my present I'll save up and buy it myself and you can get me something I actually want. i think his memory is selective, cuz this was really just 2 days ago, and now he's being liberal with his money and I'm not supposed to notice... I wish i could appreciate this change of heart.
among other weird things, headline news:
'Pill may also help drug abuse' (reads again and again)
pills are drugs, so... yes, drugs are contributing factors in drug abuse. They're not trying to say that this drug is supposed to get drug abusers off drugs-- are they? lol. "stop abusing pain medication pills, take these pills instead" "thanks for the perscription doc"
the next thing i know you're going to tell me the earth is round.
