Fitting end to the week.

You know, we've had some bad weeks, but I think this one ranks up there with the worst of them. And today was fitting end to a horrible week. I got in trouble for cutting off my mother when I was talking to her on the phone because she was telling me where the funeral is going to be when I really didn't need to know at the time. Really, what was I going to do with that information at the time? I suppose I could have been a lot nicer, but I only have so much patience, and it has been used up for today. So yes, according to my dad, I could "show a lot more respect for [my] mother". Also, I apparently "look teribble" and I need to "rearrange [my] priorities" because I'm not taking enough care of myself. Clearly, Mare thinks too highly of herself and we must take every opportunity to tell her how bad she looks and that she clearly doesn't know what is important in her life. I mean really, my self-esteem is much too high. I would really like to know what exactly I am suppose to rearragne in order to find more time to sleep. Perhaps I could do my homework in a different order? I HAVE NOTHING TO REARRANGE! Maybe I should just ignore the fact that I have multiple exams for the next month and a half. That will definitely ensure good marks AND sleep. I just felt like screaming "what do you want from me? what more can I do to make YOU happier?" But I didn't. Instead, I burst out crying as soon as dad left the room. My poor asparugi were nearly drowned. And then I went down to my room to cry some more whilst I unpacked. But, Mare has compartmentalized and bottled sufficiently to allow her to come out of her seclusion. So tonight, I shall watch OC, perhaps Alias, and do some homework. And then go to bed. Perhaps I'll wake up just in time to move in to res.

I don't know what they're talking about. You always look gorgeous to me. I think that parents are sometimes just a little harsh in the way they try to get you to sleep more...saying things like "you look bad" because they know that it will hurt more than just saying "you look tired", or "you should sleep more". It's the whole parental psychology thing. They don't think that you'll listen to them if they just order you to sleep, so they take little side routes...sometimes embelishing a bit to make YOU change yourself instead of them having to intervene and throw you into your bed. That's my theory...because really Mare, you always look very nice. Sometimes tired...but still just as pretty...and I mean...who doesn't look tired in our class???...it just makes you fit in with the crowd! PLUS!!!!!!! You don't have wrinkles...like some people we know...wink, wink.
