Today I took a day trip to NYC with my mom and brother and some family friends to see the Tony Award winning Broadway production of War Horse, of which one of their sons is a cast member. Although I have a few complaints, overall the show was really good. It's about a boy who gets a horse and his father sells the horse to the British Army in WWI ( Read more... )

So, it's been a while ( Read more... )

I should get better at updating this thing more often. This post is going to seem more like a list than anything, just because all of the details of the stuff I want to talk about has flown off with the wind.

Yesterday, one of the people whose LJ I read (I don't know if she reads mine, because she's an online-published author who has a huge friends ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like an unappreciative bitch, but I kind of feel justified for this one. This has been simmering for a few weeks but I couldn't keep quiet about it anymore. Sometimes it takes your parents to really make you feel like a worthless piece of shit. I'm pretty sure I titted better than their tat, though.

Email to my father:

Note: In rereading past LJ posts from before the forgotten years I realized that I pretty much have no idea who some of the people I'm talking about are because I just refer to them as "cute boy" or something like that. People I've mentioned by name I'll keep referring to as such, but everyone else without an LJ handle I'll to refer to with their ( Read more... )

My dad stopped by the house today so I thought it was as good a time as any to tell him that I wasn't finishing the semester yet again. I know it's different this time, that all these fucked up things have happened to me that I have to deal with and it's not because I'm depressed or stressed or can't handle the workload, but it's still so ( Read more... )

I had an awesome date tonight. It's really nice for something good to have happened in my life for once in a really long time, as opposed to something that just takes away something bad. We were going to get coffee but since it was so nice out I suggested we go to the park instead. We walked around for a few hours, got dinner, and saw a movie. ( Read more... )

So, it's the first night in my new house, and I'm feeling less anxious already. The move was pretty horrible, but then again, any time my father has to do something the least bit stressful he has to make it miserable for everyone else. My brother helped as well, but he's pretty quiet. My dad, as always, did not listen to anything I said, so, no, we ( Read more... )

So, Pat and I had a fight last night that culminated in him throwing me into a wall and me calling the police. It was such a stupid fight, too. I was just so sick of putting up with his bullshit and behaving like a three year old and as soon as I stood up to him he just started behaving completely inappropriately.

So, here's the thing. Lately he's ( Read more... )

Yay! It's the first day of spring! Winter's over and done with and... wait, what did you say? It's snowing out? Diagonally? What the hell, weather? Don't you know that I'm moving this week? I guess today is a packing-only day. Sorry Jesse and Emily, but it looks like I'm probably not going to make it to Boston over break; I've too much to do and I ( Read more... )
