Time for a New Post

Hi...I'm in Regina right now. Hanging out with my cousins...and eating brownies...and playing settlers. Yeah, it's fun...and it's nice to get away because everything is so hectic at home. Mostly because Mandy (my cousin, she's 10) is potentially living with us for a while. Actually, she's been around since the end of June because her parents are not really parents. Which is probably the saddest thing for a kid. I couldn't imagine it.

And my mom is being super annoying right now. Not joking, it's the worst ever. I love her, but man...it's driving me nuts, and right now I am so glad that I don't have to be at home. She just wants me to be like her...and I'm not. I am not anything like her. I sometimes truly believe that I don't have an ounce of her blood in me. She wants me to "do things for other people"?!!? Since when is going to camp or youth something you do for other people??? Someone answer that for me, cuz it should be for YOU and for more importantly GOD. But no, I'm supposed to do it for other people. I'm supposed to call my "friends" because it will be good for them?!!? Ugh, it's annoying. But like I said, I still love her...it's just right now my respect for her is limited. She has been anything but deserving of my respect. She didn't even say goodbye to me, and I'm gone for a week! That kind of irked me. She just said "Carry your bags inside" and then she left.

I want to go back to school. I want to see people. I want to see my "friends". Because I haven't really had many friends this summer. Or this year. I'm trying to fix it...I just don't know how. So if you're my friend, call me up when I get home.
