This weekend seemed to fly by! One minute I was sitting in IS, the next I was in my high school gym, and now I am sitting in my dorm room! Friday was great! I got to see The Land Before Time (love that movie), and go to the family event for Dance Marathon. I met some awesome kids! Hunter is such a cutie! He made me run up and down the hallway in the W giving him a piggy-back ride...o, how he cracked me up! Saturday morning I went home and seen people at bowling. Shannon and Justin haven't changed a bit; I just feel really short (Justin has grown like 5 inches since state, I swear!!--or maybe it is just his afro...). Shannon is still amazingly good at bowling, I swear that girl will go to college for it! She looked somewhere for bowling for school but I forget where. Anyway, I then got to go my high school's version of High School Musical. O, that was interesting. I love how people you absolutely hated in high school and never talked to came up to me and gave me a hug like we were long-lost friends or something. I mean, if I didn't talk to you then, what makes you think I want to hug you and meet your two roommates? Also, that's why I sat on the other side of the gym with other people, so I didn't have to talk to you.
But then I got to see my Dad today. He was feeling good and in a really good mood so it was a great visit. Dawn slept for a while cuz she was sick, but Dad stayed awake and I was so proud! He didn't even cough! I hope he is getting better, I really do. I don't know what I am gonna do when he...you know. Let's just not talk about that! That's how I solve things...I don't talk about them or I ignore them. Sometimes they go away, and sometimes it bites me in the butt. Mostly it bites me in the butt, but I don't talk about that subject, unless someone else brings it up. I'm comfortable with people knowing, it's just I don't want them to look at me the wrong way when I flat out say 'My dad is dying'. I mean, what are they supposed to say? The only response I ever get is 'Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea. I'm here for you if you need anything.' But after that conversation, I feel they look at me differently for a while, like anything they say will upset me. Well, it's part of my lifeand I deal with it my way. I hope people respect that.
