re: my last entry... i've been feeling bad about this - i don't want it to seem like my mom is evil or anything. Sometimes we don't understand each other, but i think that's a parent/generation thing. We're usually really close. She's just so stressed right now. My dad travels all the time for his job, so she's a single parent a lot of the time and she's just super worried about my little brother. He's a cool guy, i really like him. He's just a bit directionless and rebellious at the moment. He doesn't listen to my parents, he lies, he comes home late, he thinks no one understands him. typical fifteen year old. he just failed grade ten math. my parents value education more than anything, so that was bad. very bad.

i think my mom feels she's lost control over my brother, and me putting a post through my tongue was just the icing on the cake: i guess she feels that we're all going to hell in a handbasket [insert: sometimes it's fun to use phrases that your grade nine english teacher liked] so she reacted sort of irrationally.

i hope that was it, anyway.

I still think the key thing was brilliant: she got to think a bit about the situation without having to look at me. my sister thought it was stupid.

But sometimes it's fun to do impetuous things. Sometimes i throw glassfuls of water at people when i'm doing dishes. i'm such a rebel.

quack.

sometimes it's fun to quack for no reason. try it.

no really... do it now. even if you're at work. you can do it quietly. it will make you feel soooo good.

ducks have a good life. lucky ducks. heh. that was unintentional... you know how people say "you're a lucky duck"? or is that just me and my sister? forget it.
