and sometimes when you're on...

In a few minutes, I leave for the library with Mom. Then I come back and pack enough for two weeks, for I am leaving tomorrow for Connecticut and eventually New York, where I will be spending the Fourth of July and many days after that. Two days ago I was supposed to drive to South Portland and have a little reunion with my fellow MYLers at Flatbread, but then Mom got really mad and I decided not to go anymore. She said that I never follow through with plans, and that I always just screw everything up. It's hard. Because I try to secure plans as much as possible, and people just don't help at all. Basically, I had been trying to secure everything and get in contact with whoever I could for the SoPo trip. Seeing where I could stay, what time I needed to get there, etc. Mingo was supposed to call me back on Mom's cell at 1:00, but never did (instead she left a message on my cell around 3:45...), and that was the main reason Mom got pissed. Obviously I'm not going to tell Mingo that. Gah. I just decided mom was right and that my plans were too complicated so that she'd stop yelling at me. So I went and cried for a while. Then I went to Sam's. Spent the night. I stayed there last night too, by myself. Sam & Janet went to Waterville for a wedding. I stayed at their house with cats. I just didn't want to be home. I'm sad when I'm home. I'd rather be alone. And now Mom's trying to be all nice because she knows I did it again. Sometimes it just seems like a better reason to cry. Out: Gretchen

I have a question. When you said "brother from another mother", and I said "sister from another mister", would that have to change to "sister from anister mister", because another rhymes with brother and mother? It's like the substitution property of rhymes?
...your really FUCKING ON!

I hope your 4th was better than mine! The fireworks show for me lasted about 5 min. :( I'm sure yours was better.

p.s. We both have mean teacher-mothers! Wanna start a club??
