Yes, today was one of those days. You know, the kind of day that is just endless excitement, chaos, and hilarity from morning to night? Yea, the kind of day where you’ve facepalmed yourself so much you might just end up unconscious.
So here I am, on the choo-choo train heading down to Miami… and I really REALLY wish I wasn’t. But, we must all go through trials and tribulations in this life. I am really hoping and praying that the server situation is resolved, so that I don’t have to go back to Miami ANYMORE!! *sigh*
We got the TV in the mail today and it is pretty damn amazing. Audi tested out the game graphics by playing a demo of Bioshock (which is a fucking kickass game, btw) and tested the movie graphics with The Ninth Gate, Gladiator, and The Fifth Element. Hehe.
Speaking of The Fifth Element, i need to start putting my costume together. Audi got into a big argument with me over the color of Leeloo’s hair. It’s orange, and he kept saying it’s red. But after he watched the scene with Leeloo on the outside of the building, I pointed out, “Look! It’s fucking orange!” LOL
Anyway, it’s a real pain in the ass typing blogs on this WordPress iPhone app after a while, so I’ll end this entry here.
Ciao.
I love living with Audi. Every day, I am so grateful to be here, away from the stress that was plaguing my life before. As I mentioned in my last entry, I went to Miami for a week to work with Dustin at World Atlantic Airlines. Well, at first I was dreading going back, simply because I had a feeling of what the week would be like. My instincts proved to be correct.
First, I’d like to mention that my mother was feeling very bad on Sunday when I got to Miami. We found out about two days later that she had a clot in one of her arteries: Hence, she had suffered a mild heart attack. She turned out just fine, thank goodness, but they sure made certain not to let me forget that she “almost died” whenever I needed a guilt trip. Whenever either of them started grating my nerves, and I acted accordingly, one or the other would bring up that I don’t care about them, about how she “almost died”. It got especially bad on Friday.
Audi’s sister had told him about a place where we could get fish for really cheap. The only problem was that it came in somewhat big boxes: think Costco style. So, I bought them on Friday during my lunch break and headed over to my parents’ place. In the process of trying to fit the boxes in the freezer, my mother tells both my father and I to shut up and let her do it. I tell her that I have an idea too, and I asked, “Don’t you want to hear my idea?” She, of course, says… No. I get even more frustrated. They, in turn, got more frustrated with me. My mother walks off, pissed off that we didn’t do things her way. Long story short (too late!), she storms off, my father yells at me that I don’t care about how my mother “almost died” this week. I do care, of course. I don’t need it rubbed in my face with every disagreement or fight, though. So, I yell at my father to go sit down and let me finish putting the boxes in myself.
He goes, sits with my mother, and says out loud, “She’s such an actress”…. That was the last straw for me. My mother is the BIGGEST actress you’ve ever seen. This woman should have won at least 10 Emmys by now. I lost it. I stormed over to them and said, “How dare you call me an actress? She’s the biggest one of all. All she ever does is throw guilt trips on me whenever we fight or she disagrees with something I do. And then you wonder why I left in the first place? I’m just letting you know right now, I’m leaving tomorrow. Good luck seeing me again after that.” I went back to work, and things went as they normally do there. I made plans with my friend Chris, so that I wouldn’t have to see them at all that evening. I figured I’d get home when they were already in bed.
They must have thought I was kidding about leaving a day earlier than I had planned to. I wasn’t.
Saturday morning… I wake up to find out my family, who had said they were going to come down to see me, weren’t going to come at all. Great. I got out of bed and got dressed for nothing. Oh well. Around 1:30 I went to visit Audi’s mom and niece, since they had been asking Audi about me. I played Wii with Mina, his niece, and his mom made me an awesome lunch; a better one than I think my own mother would have.
Around 3:30, I left there, went back to my parent’s place… and proceeded to pack up the car. My parents helped me pack up the car a bit, but it was mostly me since I didn’t want their help, to be honest. My mother, in her usual fashion, put on a sad face, gave me a hug, and told me she loved me. Her typical way of apologizing without ever having to soil her lips with the words, “I’m sorry.” I didn’t buy it, and I almost never do.
I drove off, and I’ve been ecstatic since. I’m so grateful for that week I spent with them, because it truly helped me open my eyes. I thought I was going to feel sad or nostalgic about moving away. But now? I can honestly say it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.
