the_wanlorn | Why I was so upset Sunday night

Sunday, I went to visit Jon for the day. Mum made me drive. I hate driving with her cuz she says stuff like, "There's a stop sign coming up, slow down!" when I'm still wicked far away and just all around tells me I'm a bad driver. So hour drive = not cool. But it wasn't as bad as I expected, since I just kept her talking about other stuff. Minus a few stop sign things, it wasn't bad.

Visiting Jon was good. Didn't do much of anything exciting. Just kind of chilled. Jon put Tabasco sauce in some poor kid's ice cream and the guy didn't realize it and took a bit… Heh heh heh hilarious!

The ride home was hell. I was exhausted because I hadn't slept much or well the night before, so I didn't want to drive home. Which I told Mum. She didn't care and told me I still had to drive. Jon brought up the point that she was saying I should be driving even when I was exhausted and that was stupid and unsafe and that if I was wicked tired, he would drive me home. A bit more arguing, she gave up and I got in the car and thought everything was good.

Boy was I wrong.

We got down the road a bit and the following conversation ensued (more or less):

Mum: I think you had better reconsider dirivng home. Or else you're not going back.
Me: I'm too tired. If I had known you were going to make me drive, I would've taken a nap.

Let it be known here that she told me Da was coming back with her to pick me up and he always drives, no matter who's in the car. So I wasn't going to have to drive back.

Mum: That's a poor excuse.
Me: Um, no, it's the truth.
Mum: Well, how am I supposed to know if you can drive home?
Me: I drove here, I think I can easily drive home.
Mum: Then you're going to have to come home earlier.
Me: Do you not understand the concept of a nap?
Mum: I guess you'll have to start going to be earlier.
Me: Why are you being such a bitch about this?

A long silence ensued before the attacks got personal. It was pointed out that I am a horrible daughter, a horrible person, a detriment to society, and an all-around inconsiderate failure.

When it got to the point where I almost said, "Do you ever wonder why your children despise you until they're not living here? This is why." I just stopped answering and let her spew.

Eventually she just stopped and blew out air in great, offended huffs every now and then. Once we got home (as 10) I went into my room and stayed there. I then proceeded to spend the next hour trying to decide if I wanted to call Jon (cuz after going through that I wanted to talk to him) or if I should just wait for him to come online or if I was just being stupid and I should forget about it.

I ended up calling him.

And crying.

That's only the second time I've let someone hear/see me cry since I was eight. And he made me feel better, but I'm still upset by it. I figure that if I Get a job at Walden Books when I turn 18 then I'll have enough money saved up by the end of the year to buy me a car and rent and apartment for the summer.

More likely I'll just stick it out and spend tons more time during summer and vacations at other people's house.

::sigh::

On a happier note, this weekend is looking to be good. On Saturday, I'm going over Bern's for a Talk Like A Pirate Day party (even though TPLAD is on Sunday). That is, assuming my car is back. Monday is me and Jon's 5 month anniversary, but he's coming over Sunday instead (cuz we can spend more time together then than if he came over after classes on Monday), so that's going to be good.

But yeah. Today is a bad day and I'm feeling like nobody likes me. Guess I'm gonna go eat worms… I've been keeping a bunch of random brain spews in my notebooks that I jot down in the middle of classes, so expect a zillion updates as soon as I collect them all together.

awww nire im sorry about your mom. why do parents have to be so unreasonable? dont be afraid to cry.

and dont forget that we're getting an apartment together!!!

Tom should be warned that if he gets an apartment with Erin he must wear earplugs at night when I come to visit :-D. I LOVE YOU ERIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU JON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tom, I just thought of something... Unless we go to college in the same area, this would only happen this summer. And I think Sid and I are planning on ensconcing ourselves in a cabin in Maine for a large part of the summer. Oh dear.

ahem:

AAAAAAAAH-AH! AAAAAAAAAAAA-AH! WE COME FROM THE LAND OF THE ICE AND SNOW FROM THE MIDNIGHT SUN WHERE THE HOTSPRINGS BLOW....

VALHALLA, I AM COMING!

Hmmmmmmmm. Was this from... Lando?

this is really kind of irrelevant, but can you ship me a box of toilet paper? it's prankin' season and the frat houses are totally ripe for the picking.

I would, except all of the toilet paper on the East Coast seems to've been devoured by the rare TPeaterus insectus. Perhaps next year I'll've had better luck at exterminating them from this area and I can send some to you.

YOU HAVE FAILED YOUR PHAROH

::piteous wail:: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!! However shall I live with myself now!?!?!?!?

I just mailed out a package of ear plugs to you. I know they will be put to good use. kakakakak ^_________________^

I lovers youuuuuuu~!! ♥
