Hello, Neocities. It's Friday. I'm excited for the weekend since I get to be with my grandparents. People around me are dropping like flies, first my mother, then my best friend, and now my drama teacher. It's scary to see just how fragile life is, especially with all the hurricanes recently.
I heard it snowed in North Carolina and Tennessee. I hope it snows here, too. I like snow. During my birthday, it should snow, but every time my birthday comes around, I live in a spot with no snow.
I've had two subs so far today, but I know I won't have a sub in cinematography. I never do. I hate that damn class. I wish I had home ec or comp sci instead.
My mind is wandering so much today, and I just can't seem to think straight. It's probably just the effect of it being Friday. I can't focus on one set thing to write about, my mind is bursting with ideas.
My dad is adopting (really just feeding it and letting it inside) a stray cat- a stray cat that our landlord could evict us for having. My dad really doesn't need to be evicted again, considering this would be the third time. He has a felony already, and his credit score is horrid. And yet he has custody of me and my younger sister. Ironic, huh? Sometimes I wish he'd get arrested, so I could be free from him. He isn't always that bad, I guess. He broke my arm a while ago, but he also bought me candy yesterday as an apology.
He's a scared man. He doesn't try to be angry all the time. He just feels insecure about how shitty he is at parenting, and he takes it out on me. I feel really upset when he says mean stuff to me and hurts me, but I know he feels bad about it too, he just doesn't feel sad, he feels mad, and then he yells some more.
I've been talking to the new girl at my school, Lily. She's cool I guess. She has nice hair.
A lot of the other kids are just on a different level than I am. Me and Sohpie, we're smart, we've seen real life, we've fended for ourselves. Others haven't- which is good! But that also means me and Sohpie have more experience than them, and we can see inside their heads easily. When I talk to other people, I can tell what they're thinking. I can predict what they're going to say or do at any given time. These types of peers are fine and all for company, but over time it gets boring. I much prefer having friends with similar intelligence levels. I like being on the same wavelength with people.
Man, I really want more friends.
Actually, I revoke that scentence. I despise the children that I have displeasure of being in the same highschool as. These ugly bitches get under my skin and make me so mad, and don't get me started on the horrible selection of guys. I think this state- this COUNTRY is the worst place I've been. Stupid bitches cheerleaders and dumb assholes football players gain everyones respect for playing with BALLS ALL DAY. It's ridiculous.
There's only two more hours left in school. This dumb day needs to be over already.
Sincerely, Michael.
