I am currently working on my RP paper, waiting for it to be later so I can start getting ready. I got up semi-early, around 9:15, so I'd have time to do some stuff today. Then I took a shower and found some, er, "scrubby" clothes to put on.

::sings along:: Guess what? It's gonna be me! Listening to old CD's is much fun, especially when it's "old-school" *NSync. Yay for relatively shallow teenybopper music!

As you can tell, I'm in a much better mood right now than I was last night. Earlier, my mom insisted on cutting my bangs, even though I hate it when she does that. I specifically told her that I think they look fine longish, but she got all angry. I think that's why I never bother arguing with her. I never win. She's going to control my life until I can finally get away from her. The only reason she cares about what I look like is because she feels that if I don't look perfect, that will somehow affect her. Not every parent is responsible for their child's actions. I don't think the goth-punk people at school have lazy parents. They have parents that are obviously less controlling than mine. By "parents", I mean "moms".

Yeah. Rajni sent me a great email, since she's basically lived through everything I am now. Her Year from Hell was last year. It made me feel better, not so alone. I fell into a rant while I was replying, mostly because it was just post-trim. I'm just too emotional for all this.

I could use a break from my life right now. Like, a week of frozen time so I could jet off to Palm Beach or something. It may be 50 degrees here (after 80 on Monday!), but it's still sunny and nice there. It's like I have emotionally-induced SAD. (That's Seasonal Affective Disorder, like yearly occurring winter blues.) Hopefully, tonight will give me a break.

I'm off to see if I can conquer RP and get all prettified for the dance.
