Nothing seems to fill this place.

Oh, the irritation! I don't get why parents make everything so difficult. I thought my mom and I were going to get along today. Really. Everything was fine when I met her at work. But then, when we were leaving Greenville Tech, she got all mad about going to lunch. She told me I wasn't allowed to hang out with John until around 2 or 2:30. What the hell, man? This morning she acted like lunch wasn't going to be a problem. So anyway, I had to be the bad guy and tell John that we couldn't go to lunch together. That just completely killed my mood. And even though I just kept my mouth shut, my mom knew I wasn't happy about it. So of course she had to start one of those "you're never grateful for anything, you're not going to spend all your time with him" lectures. I hate those. My parents don't understand that I'm extremely grateful for everything they do for me. But they also don't seem to understand that I have a boyfriend who I care about very much and love to spend time with. And they know I don't hang out with anybody else anymore. Kellie's always working, Kayla only relies on me for school purposes, and Anna's too busy with her own boyfriend to worry about hanging out with me. And everybody else is just too busy with their own lives. So I don't really have anybody else to hang out with. Can't my parents understand that? I mean, that when I'm with John, I'm happy? Don't they remember how depressed I was last year? And how I lost touch with all my friends so I never did anything with anybody? And how all they did was nag me about getting out of the house? Can't they just be glad that I finally have somebody in my life that makes me happy? God, I wish.

Anyway, so now I'm just stuck at home. I don't know where John is. He said he was 'going to shadow Christy for a bit' - whatever that's supposed to mean. I don't know when he'll be back. We're supposed to be picking Joe up from school, but at this rate even that may not go according to plan.

Parents just suck.
