I wrote the best damn editorial I've ever written today. It took me two hours of hardcore thinking and deciphering, trying to fit the words together in perfect symmetry to get the effect I desired. It's not perfect, it's only my first draft, it's not supposed to be yet. I ran down the basement really excited to show my dad who was watching football (not even his team) and when I asked him to come and read it he reluctantly got up and the look on his face and whatever he mumbled quickly told me he did not want to read it. Twenty minutes before this dissapointment occurred my mother told me that the only way i will ever get married is if i stop being so outspoken and opinionated. She persisted to tell me that I should not act smart, as that tended to scare guys away. She is constantly pushing the issue on me to date more and get a boyfriend. I liked it better when she thought I wasn't interested in guys. I told her I rather be single and having a profession than a husband and kids. She just shrugged her shoulders, looked adoringly at my little brother, and said that she guessed he would be the one to give her grandkids. Like the little prince he is, he reluctantly agreed. I could punch him sometimes. Today I also screwed up one of my college apps by not sending in something my guidance counsler has to fill out. It's due tomorrow. Its for early action. Not my first choice of a school. Another dissapointment to add to the list for today. I haven't felt like eating lately because i've been stressing myself out. I really gotta change that.
I didn't want this to be something that I complained in but I guess tonight had to be made an exception.
