I wish I was an early-birder, or an insomniac, I could make use of that, it'd be nice to not need sleep for a while, I think.
Didn't wake up until like 11, and I stayed in bed and daydreamed because I didn't want to go downstairs. I finally went down at like 1 in the afternoon, so of course I got s**t about them thinking I slept in until then. I didn't want to hear it, I got a phone call from Josh earlier, so I was talking to him. Then I had some chores, and decided I wanted to go see Kalen, it had been a while, since the last time I saw him I stayed out too long and got grounded.
He was fine, but I only got to like hang out for like an hour, he had to go to work, so we played Tekken and DoA, then I screwed around on the computer while he got ready. He left and I stayed and watched his T.V. for a while. Then I went home,a and everyone was asleep, except for Kelly, I think she was working again on her assignments. She was hogging the phone since she was on the internet, so I couldn't call anyone, so I decided to just watch Saw 2 again, but with the commentary. It was really funny, I never thought I would laugh during the movie, but I did. The guys explained a lot of stuff during it, and I even spotted a mistake they never noticed. When Xavier busts open the door to his trap, if you notice, when the camera shows the timer, and it starts at like 4:00. When they start to walk in, and they show you the timer counting down, it's at 2:58 now.
Anyway, when it was almost over, my dad walked in with Sophia and told me we were leaving in a little while, we were going to call up John and see if he wanted to have dinner with us. I threw on my hoodie and waited downstairs. Me and my dad got into an arguement because of his deal with he always levaes his car a shithole, even though he knows we're going to use his car. He had to borrow my keys to get in the house again, and on top of that it took forever to get Sophia into the carseat properly. We weren't on good terms from there for the start.
Ok, now this is the plan my dad told me in the car, and I swear this is what he said. When we got to KMart, it was 6, and he said we were going to call John so he could know our plan. We would spend like 30 minutes at the store, then 30 minutes to get to John's house, so by 7:30 we'd be there. Now, unless you're in like 1st grade, you know that leaves like an extra 30 minutes of apparent non-existance. So I quesitoned him on that, and he got all defensive and told me to shut up, and I didn't even say it to get on his a**, I was seriously confused. So they ended up walking into the store leaving me and Sophia by ourselves in the car.
I realized later they had planned to go in by themselves and have us wait, but for a minute I thought they had just ditched us, and that pissed me off, I'm always the one left behind. It happens all the time. They'll go out to eat, won't bring back anything for me, they'll have breakfast, won't save me a crumb, or they'll buy two donuts, and won't even see if I want anything. I hate that s**t so much, because I always go out of my way to try and get them something, and they don't even bother to see if I'd want something, the thought would be nice enough.
So yeah, they were gonna leave us there for like 30 minutes thanks to my dad's 'ingenious' plan, so I said ******** that, and unbuckled Sophia, took the keys out of the car, and carried her to the store. I got her seat on top of the shopping cart, and went looking for them. I was making faces at her the whole time to keep her entertained, and the people in the store thought it was cute, but it was a hideaway thing so I could calm down and not get pissed. I just kept looking at her so I could relax. I finally found them, and they were suprised to see us, and that's when I found out they planned on leaving us in the ******** car. So yeah, real considerate of you both, leaving your kids in the car, so repsonsible. Too bad, you wanted kids, you're stuck with them, get over it. We're never leaving you alone.
Round 2 of my big fight with my dad occured when we were walking around. I was playing with Sophia in the Toy Section, because we kept finding toys on the ground blocking the cart from going places. So we had a game where we'd pick them, I'd show them to her for face value, and we'd go put them back where they belonged. It was fun until my dad found us, and mentioned some s**t about he saw something about this sign on the Pharmacy section about if you have these symptoms, I might have ADD (Attention Defecit Disorder). When he said that to me, I almost punched him, for thinking the things he sees wrong with me are some kind of medical problem, and that I need to be on meds to fix myself.
I went with Sophia in tow to the Pharmacy to see this sign and rip it down, but I couldn't find it, so from then on the visit in KMart was me wheeling Sophia around trying to avoid my parents. When we were leaving I stopped to grab an application for the store, because they had a table of them saying they needed positions.
I was just really not in the mood for this s**t, I just wanted John to be there so bad, so we could act like nothing was wrong. He ended up never answering his messages that we left him, so we went to IHOP on our own. Once again, everything went downhill, over the stupidest ******** topic leading to it.
Kelly announced that she had beaten dad in Scrabble, a new turn of events, and I kept commenting on how happy I was for her that she whooped his a**, I love taking his cocky self down a peg, I can't stand playing games with my dad, he's like the biggest sore loser, and he's so much of an a*****e when he wins, he always rubs it in and s**t, so seeing his tower fall is so enjoyable to me. So he retaliated that I don't like to play because I don't have any intellect and can't play properly because I have no vocabulary, which, I hate to brag, but is like the complete opposite of the truth. Plus, that concept of needing vocabulary to be good at Scrabble is total bullshit. The best thing to do is to steal people's singular words by adding an S tile, if you've played the game before you know it's one of the most underhanded and useful tricks in the game.
So I told him he was full of it, and he started on this s**t how he wishes I could show as much concentration on intellectual games like scrabble (which we all know if you can't play, you might as well give up college and just scrub floors the rest of your life, no offense to people who do that, I know you work hard) than how I spend hours playing video games.
Now, if you know me well enough, you know that when my dad wants to blame any mishappenings on me, it always, always always always ALWAYS comes back to playing video games, which somehow damages my psyche and causes me to have ADD. I cannot stand it when he puts that s**t on me, that phrase is like taboo to me, I wanted to punch him right then and there, because I totally knew where it was going, and I was not having this s**t go down on me. So we got into this huge fight about this and that and how I'm not doing anything right these days, and I was tired of arguing, so when the bill came, I went outside with Sophia in her car seat and we sat down on the curb next to the restaurant. I basically complained to Sophia about how ******** up our dad was, and how as soon as possible I'm getting out of there. We all piled up in the car and headed back to John's apartment, because we figured if we couldn't eat with him, we'd take him to work just to see him and stuff.
But Kelly wanted something sweet, and nothing looked appetizing in IHOP, especially after the fight, so we stopped at 7-11. I wanted to grab something myself, since I wasn't counting on them getting anything for me or even asking, so as soon as the car stopped, I got out, and my dad exploded on me, asking what my problem was. I could have went off on him right then, and I should have, but I didn't, I lied and said my leg hurt, and I wanted out of the car for a second because I sat on it wrong. He started saying there was something wrong with me lately, and I was thinking, "Yeah, it's you, a*****e." So I just brushed him off and bought some candy. Kelly came in later and then we went off to John's stuffing our faces, so it kept us quiet.
We waited for a little while, and then John met us at the car, and of course from then on everything was peachy-keen. I was relieved to see him though, glad that for a while the tension was out of the car. If it wasn't for the fact that I had grabbed Sophia on my way out of IHOP earlier, I probably would have just started walking home, or took the bus or something. We got him to work alright, and then it was quiet the rest of the car ride home.
When I got in, I went to the bathroom, and by the time I got out, everyone else was already upstairs, and I had like half an hour before I had to be in bed, so I went online, and talked to Sonja for a while. Then my dad called me up again and made me take out my trash because it was full and I hadn't taken it out. He'd seen in when he went into my room to go to the bathroom. I swear when I turn 18 for my birthday I'm buying myself a lock. So he asked me if I was a lazy slob on purpose, so I said yes because I knew that was the answer, but he called me a smart a** for answering him like that, but I hate that when parents ask those stupid rhetorical questions, and then go, "Huh?" when you don't say anything. So again, he gave me this s**t about how I can be on the computer playing GAMES, but I can't take out my trash, and I was this close to telling him I was writing, but of course he wouldn't have heard it anyway, so I just did what he said and tried to get back on the computer. I told Sonja the whole ordeal, and she listened to me b***h again. I noticed Jen was on, and since she was grounded I figured I'd say hello because it looked like it was one of the only times she got on.
She asked me how my day was, but I didn't feel like dragging her into it, she didn't need to hear my s**t, so I lied to her and said everything was fine. Then I said good-bye to her, because it was almost 10, and I didn't want to risk getting s**t for being on late again or something else. I called Sonja afterward though, and we caught up. She's the easiest to call, since she has no phone restrictions, and she's usually home later at night. We made all these plans to go to Disneyland one day, because we were reminiscing on times when we've gone as kids. I only went twice though, and one of those times was before I could remember, but she had tons, so it was nice listening to her stories. It made me wish I had good ones like that.
