2 Weeks Later

I am alive. After 22 days I still have this cough, though it has somewhat subdued. Other than that nothing more has happened in my life except for school and rez life. There's the usual parties, but they sort of got boring in the first semester ( Read more... )

I hope you have not grown a lack of interest in SUSHI omg.

Emo!parents are no good. It's like, "Yeah, thanks for sharing - by the way, out of the billions of people on this planet, there is no one you could have told who'd have been more uncomfortable hearing about it than me. BITCH." My dad sometimes will make a self-referential comment about some shitty aspect of his life (which, to be fair, there are a lot to choose from) and it's just so incredibly awkward. Once, we were talking about all of my stuff that's still in my old room at his house, and he was like, "Well, you never come over anymore, so you should come and get it." and I basically said, "Um. Well. HOW ARE YOUR CATS SIR."

Boooo to that! XP

It's just so awkward and annoying. Like today my dad was talking to me about how frustrated he is with life and I said "yeah", cause honestly, when I don't care anymore, thats what I say. Anyways, he says: "no, no, not yeah", and I'm just thinking like wow, you are not the only special damn person in this world. And the things is, we can't tell them to shut up or anything cause we feel this debt to them for having to put up with us through our youth and even now.

Yeah = best monosyllabic "I don't give a fuck" expression ever.

For me, it's not so much debt as it is respect or whatever - "He's your father, no matter what, he does love you even if he behaves like a total retard, etc" sort of respect. A lot of the time it's also just being the bigger man (woman?). Like, I could totally blow him off with my teenage snark, or ignore him, or a million other things, but instead I can just pretend to listen, suffer the momentary awkwardness, and just move on - rather than creating more drama and validating my own irritation.

I guess we all have to come to terms with the idea that our parents our people, too, and often they are incredibly fucked up people that, were they not or parents, we would never have in our lives at all. It doesn't automatically make them better or worse parents for it, either. I think the opposite is true with regards to parents seeing their children become adults and learning to relate to them as such. Hmm.

wayde you really need to update your lj more often.

guppix February 27 2006, 21:05:23 UTC

I used to. But there are 2 reasons I don't: 1) Everyone started getting an LJ and 2) I don't feel like telling everything to the world, because then I would get comments like: you are too emo, Wayde go find someone then, or even get out and party more, or the best one: You are unique, just like everyone else. Often things I don't post are things I don't want to have other's know or talk about.

Unfortunately, I often post on my extreme days, either I am very happy, angry or sad. Today is a sad/angry day therefore this long reply to your comment.

Everyone started getting an LJ

Oh man, how do you think *I* feel?! I am pretty much the root of all LJing among EMS kids, really. Also I remember when LJ was invite-only; were you around for that?

But yes, concur'd with Malcolm: update more so we know you aren't dead. :D

malcolml February 27 2006, 22:17:55 UTC

meh, most of the "new" people have been posting since june.

anyways, i'm pretty sure I would win the emo contest.

I get what you mean though, it's hard to have people read you're blog if you're using it as an outlet like that.

Quick! Who would win in a fight to the death: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 or Godzilla?
