I would like to apologize to everyone that I was with last night for not taking my telephone ravings outside or in the office. And I apologize for my slight breakdown... I believe I at least owe everyone an explanation of what happened throughout the day that led to both my dad and I nearly getting each other arrested.
Let's start from the morning. I was at the doctor with my mom. Since I have been going to this doctor for years, I know he keeps us waiting for hours. I brought my chemistry book and notes to study from. We were there a couple hours (as expected) for just a follow-up on bloodwork. When we got home, I finished up a bunch of stuff for my TV and Pop Culture final project and sent it to Matt. Then I studied some more. Then I called Maia because I knew she should be back by now and I hadn't seen her for my birthday yet. She was going to have lunch and call me when she was done. I would head over there afterward. So I started studying some more in the meantime. When Maia called me, I got ready to leave.
My parents got all pissy saying that it's the weekend before finals and that tomorrow (ie: today) I would be going to a party. I told them I wouldn't be at the party for long. I still had Saturday morning and evening, and all day Sunday to study for my chem exam. Then my mom said, "Why don't you not stay late at Maia's? Come home early so you can study?" I told her I hadn't planned on staying late at Maia's because I was going to the Wall. She didn't hear me, wasn't listening, whatever. It doesn't matter. Because she never heard me say that I was going. She heard me tell her I was not going to the Wall which was the contrary.
So she called me around midnight angry with me and I had no idea why. And she's yelling at me to come home. I didn't want to go, I was in the middle of a poker game. I still had money at that point. I told her I would call when I was on my way home. At about 2am, she called me fuming, screaming at me to come home. She said they were getting me up at 6am (to which I told her no fucking way). I told her I did not want to go home. I would call her when I was on my way. Very shortly after, my dad called me and threatened me, saying he would ground me, take away my car (which I have the only key to btw).
My dad (a raving lunatic) would not listen to me. I called him back and I yelled back at him since he was being insane I wasn't going home. And he freaked out at me. And he started driving over to the Wall (I have no doubt he had his shotgun with him...) My mom called and told me. She said the only way he would go back and not try to break in to the store was if I went home. I really just still didn't want to because I did not want to see them. I didn't want to drive home. And I know I was right. I didn't want to go home just for the shear fact that I wanted one night out. I told my mom that I would not go to the party (which was my last day to see most of my friends at FIT here forever). and that I would just study all day. So basically I was crushed. She urged me to go for a little while, but if I went I would have never returned...ever. I have a passport and enough money to at least get me started on finding a job. So I knew I could not leave...
Anyway, my parents are already over it. I'm still really upset. Because I'm never going to see any of my FIT friends again. And all I asked for was one night out when I had already done a lot of studying and had set aside time for more studying. I don't think that was too much to ask.
And now I'm having to write this in the bathroom because that's the only place I'm able to use my computer without being yelled at for not working.
Honestly, if I had a gun, I would have killed my dad last night.
