a weekend of returns...
So my mom got back from her trip to Canada on Friday night while I was babysitting. Cue return to tension and petty bickering. It just makes me sad and pisses me off at the same time. Yesterday was actually semi-ok though. I woke up, showered and went out with Cristina and her friend from school. We walked around the Center for a while and then, with a lack of anything else to do, we went to the movies. Saw Twisted. Interesting movie. I actually kinda liked it because it kept you guessing right up to the very end. And then I get home to the FIRST BBQ OF THE YEAR!!!!!! Yay!!! It was heavenly. My dad makes yummy barbeque, yes he does.
Then it begins... I was chilling in my room and my mom comes in to nag me about the study abroad papers... again! I had a bunch of packets and papers that I needed to look through. And I know it has to be done, but it's not the most urgent thing for me right now. I'm just trying to survive this semester first. So after a long argument where she claims that I don't care and that I never listen to her and that I'm just not going to be able to go abroad if I don't start being responsible, I gave in and read the stupid papers. A process which left me with no answers or decisions, beyond that fact that most of the programs I got info about either don't have science in them or they are WAY to expensive. So I gave up and went to bed instead.
Then today.... I actually went to church because my sister was playing flute during the service so my mom wanted me to go. First time in years that I've been in there. Then I went to the mall and bought a bunch of books. I'm sad though because they didn't have the first volume of the Fruits Basket manga and that was really all I wanted to buy. Bought InuYasha 7, Dragon Knights 12, Demon Diary 6, Megatokyo 2 (!!!!YAY!!!), and X 3 instead. Good stuff. Good deal too with the buy 4 get one free + 10% member discount + $5 coupon. *dances*
Tonight wasn't so fun though. First comments at dinner. (Carolina. Hold your fork farther up. Carolina. Lift up your arm more when you eat.) I tried to help and stuff. Only got me more comments. (You got crumbs everywhere. Stop dropping rice on the counter (i'd dropped 2 grains).) grr... So I kinda gave up and just ate. And then after dinner I'm gathering the food I'm going to bring and I am reminded, none too kindly, that I was supposed to do that before dinner. To which I reply that I was busy doing other stuff before dinner (namely packing everything else). Which only got me a comment about "those books" which refers to my manga. My dad doesn't approve of my manga collection. Tis sad. Not that it stops me any...
Anyway... this is becoming whiny. And I'm at school now anyway, so it doesn't matter. I think I have a cavity though. My tooth hurts whenever I eat sweet stuff. Hm.. I ought to do that math homework I never did over vacation. yes... I think I'll do that...
EDIT: I wanted to do the name game and I didn't want to spam...

Parents are stupid, they don't understand the logic of things. Luckily you're back at school at this point, so none of it matters anymore!
(btw check out Last Exile if you get a chance)

Last Exile huh? Will do!
