And this is why I stay away from my house often.

Parents. Annoying parents.

I was lying on the floor of my bedroom, quietly doing Sudoku while waiting for my sister to finish showering, when my mom came in. She didn't even say anything. She then kicked me and walked back out without another word. For what reason? Maybe some insane person would know. Was I mad? Oh, yes.

My hand still hurts. And it's not from handball. The swelling went down hours ago, so I'm good.

My dad comes home and I greet him. No response. I think he's still peeved that I came home later. They should get used to expecting it. Whenever they ask me what time I'll be home, I'm not allowed to give late times. So why bother asking? Save both of us some trouble and leave my "before dinner" response alone. But the fact that he didn't respond peeved ME. If I didn't bother greeting him (which I wasn't in the mood for), someone would probably be complaining about it right now. And if I did bother (which I, unfortunately, did), I'd be the one who's peeved in the end. And guess what?

I am.

Here's another thing. I'm tired and slightly fatigued. I want to do nothing more than shower and sleep. When I was just about to get up and go shower, my mom tells me to finish the load of laundry. I don't mind doing laundry, really. But at 10:30PM? When there's no school tomorrow and I have all day to do it?

Screw. That.

Just thinking about this whole ordeal is making feel like punching something else. I should learn how to meditate. I should also learn how to calm down. I should also stay out late. I need excuses. Anything to avoid coming home too early. I really don't like it here. Whenever they're home, I feel like I'm suffocating; it's hard to breathe. I get so angry sometimes, I grind my teeth and I won't notice until it hurts. That's pretty bad considering that I've had braces before. My poor teeth.

Now, before this rant drags on any longer, I'm going to do the stupid load of laundry that some idiots had to save for the late evening. Honestly, siblings were home all day. Mom got home by 4:30PM. Yet NO ONE bothered with the laundry until I got home.

Really?

A few more deep breaths, physical stress-relieving exercises and I'll be fine.

Hopefully.

First post in MA.

So before I say anything, I jsut heard a cute/annoyed announcement on the boat. "Whoever has a silver Honda Accord with a Mass. plate, you have a very lonely dog. In fact, it's so lonely, it began honking the horn. Please come down and give it a hug or something to stop the honking. Thank you."

So yes, about this about. It was the boat/ferry I took with my family and the car from Wood's Hole in mainland MA to Marth's Vineyard, an island about 7-9 miles off the coast. I finally have excellent Wifi, and am extremely...satisfied for the next half hour or so.

I've been to Plymouth (yesterday) to go on a whale watching tour. The view was amazing. The further out we went, the bluer the sky and ocean was. My bratty sister was just complaining about her lack of reception. I just shrugged her off and enjoyed myself. Thank goodness too. We came about some whales. There was this one humpback which came right up to the boat. It was exciting. Everyone was snapping pictures of it, nonstop. It was such a show-offy whale but it was cute. Later on, we came upon more whales. We even came up to a mommy whale and a calf! The tour was about 4ish hours long.

We got back on land by 6PM and looked for a restaurant for dinner. Let me tell you this now: if you plan to come up further NE, you have to try the clam chowder. It's simply delicious. After our seaside restaurant experience, we headed to the hotel for check-in. That's pretty much the end of my first day.

I'd go on and on to finish up today, but my time is short. I'll be doing a lot of typing on the side, if I can, and post it up when I get home (with better Internet, maybe). I sort of miss NYC but the way my sister's acting like usch a brat makes me thankful for this trip. I'm really enjoying myself here with my family (mom and sis are exceptions, of course. dw, my dad and bro think so too) and can't wait until tomorrow. My dad's letting me sit up closer to him. That means I can get away from my sis in the backseat and (sort of) avoid my mom. She babys us so much, it's sickening at times. I'm 17, but to her, I'm still 10 (or younger).

Ooh, looks like we're about to land. I'll go out on deck and check. Oh, another plus away from the city: you can see stars here. When my dad and I looked up, out on the deck, it was beautiful. I would've taken a picture of it, but it wouldn't do the view justice, ya know? I really want to come to a place like this. One day, when I can drive, have my own car, and money, I'll plan something with a group of my friends. How's that sound, hmm?

Just lovely.

Lovely MJ Afternoon yesterday

Yesterday, Louise, Howard, Johanna and Max came over my house to chill. We didn't have anything planned and we were all broke so we thought of something cheap-ish to do: go over someone's house. We bought turkey to make sandwiches so we don't spend too much on lunch and bought drinks at the supermarket. We only played for two hours and we were getting tired and bored (two hours STRAIGHT) so we took a break. Johanna and I took a lunch break while everyone else just took an MJ break.

I'm not going to go on and on about my day/afternoon with them. They came pretty early though. Louise, Howard and Johanna arrived by 8:30ish and Max came soon after (like 9ish?). They didn't leave until 5PM. In short, it was a relaxing and somewhat fun day. Don't you guys agree?

Ahaha, Skype afterwards. It was the usual funny. Sam was talking a bit more; kinda unusual for the Fish. We had fun on Skype, as always. No matter what's going on at home, when I go on Skype and I'm chatting with the crew, I automatically feel so much better. They make me forget the shit that's going on at home. I really love them. Yea, I'm being cheesy right now ): !

Well, it's Saturday morning and I'm off to go shopping in NJ with my family. BJ's first then hopefully Jersey Gardens after. I'll probably be back on Blogger tomorrow night if not tonight. (:

Oh, and happy belated birthday to my dad !
