chris and i leave for the california trip tomorrow. my parents are thoroughly displeased and i do not care. every guy i hang out with my dad asks if i�m dating. i want to hit him. he acts like he truly wants to know what�s going on in my life, but really he just wants to editorialize about stuff he doesn�t even know about. this sound so juvenile and teen-agey, but he is never going to understand me. it�s not like it is with mom. my mom and i are so alike, but dad is never going to get it. and if he is going to pretend like he does, could he throw in a nice comment every once in awhile? tbc
