So, if you hadn’t noticed … I wasn’t there.
Why, you ask? … the story … is kind of retarded to say the least.
My dad has been on this whole power-trip lately. He gets annoyed when anyone burps and doesn’t immediately say “EXCUSE ME!” If you don’t say it, he gets mad … and by mad … I mean MAD! It’s so stupid. I’m not the only one who burps in those house. Lindsey (my step-sister), Dillon (my step-brother), and Carolyn (my step-mother) ALL BURP ALL THE TIME!!!
Do they get in as much trouble as I do when I do it? No. You know why? Because my dad likes to make an example out of me for them to see, so he doesn’t seem like he treats me any differently than he does them (interesting how that works out, isn’t it?). Can you say “hipocracy?”
Anyway … I was up in the loft (which is what my dad calls the upstairs), on econtoday.com studying for the Economics test at about 10pm … and I burped … and I said “excuse me.” Did it matter? HELL NO! My dad didn’t hear me say it because he just walked into his room like one second after I burped. He then yelled, “Where are those two magic words?” I was like “I said excuse me …” He said something about how he didn’t hear it, and I said something like “I’m sorry that you didn’t hear me …”
This is where he got mad. He says he didn’t get mad at all … but you determine that for yourself later. He came upstairs and continued to yell at me about how I was disrespectful and blah blah blah … and he wouldn’t let me talk at all. He just kept yelling over me and acting like whenever I tried to speak (to explain myself), he was like “You always have to have the last word!” I got a bit annoyed that I wasn’t allowed to say anything in my defense about the matter and began to yell back just so I could me heard. And then, of course, it got even worse. I really don’t understand how something so insignificant as a burp … a necessary release of gas … got me in so much trouble. I don’t know how the crap things kept getting worse … but they did. He got all pissed and went downstairs and pouted for a few minutes, got in an arguement with Carolyn for a few minutes (simply because she was trying to talk to him about me). And then they both came back out of their room and “watched TV,” and by that I mean that they were faking and still oh so very mad at each other, and my dad at me. I went about halfway down the stairs to approach my dad to make things better … and I said something along the lines of “you aren’t going to let our arguement come in between you and Carolyn, are you?” He didn’t like the fact that I was questioning his authority or whatever. We “talked” for a while … yelling our heads off for about 2 hours … and then finally it calmed down … he became a little less insane … and then we really talked. We discussed all sorts of stuff until about 1:30 in the morning. I didn’t get to sleep until much later because of my medicine … I hadn’t taken it yet (and it takes an hour to start to make me sleepy). It also keeps me asleep/sleepy for about 8 hours … uncontrollably. My dad told just to not go to school tomorrow (Thursday). I told him that I had two tests, Calculus and Economics. He said that he would just write me a note and whatnot … I told him that I would go ahead and get up and see how I felt (at 6:15am). He apparently turned off my alarm, because I didn’t wake up until about 12:15pm on Thusday. Was it nice? Maybe. Fun? A little. Did the end justify the means? Um, NO!
I hadn’t planned any of that to say the very least, but I didn’t argue either (I had done enough of that for a good long while).
So yeah, that’s my story. It’s pretty dumb huh? I missed school because I burped …
My grandparents 50th wedding anniversary was yesterday (my grandmother has highly advanced alziemers … so it was a bitter-sweet ‘celebration’ to say the least).
Bob, Guy, Jeremey, Emmy, and I went to go see the new Underworld movie last night at 9:45pm. It was an awesome movie. Now Guy, Bob, Jeremey, and I are back at my house … we played a little Halo with Dillon … and cards and whatnot … And as usual, Jeremy fell asleep about 2 hours into it.
That’s enough typing for now … and I think it’s Halo time again …
