phone call with my parents

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:17 PM

i feel bad cuz like. okay

so the phone rings i'm all 'hello?' and it's my mom so i talk to her bla bla bla, about library catalogue searches and turkey, my sister has officially moved in her room looks really nice, bla bla bla, she's gonna be teaching 4th grade bla bla bla, she's really happy now bla bla bla, i ask how my other sister is and she's all 'oh she's doing much better. i think she wanted to talk to you though. she had a lot of fun talking to you last time' and i was all 'yep. we talked about the renaissance. we were both studying it!' or whatever and my mom i sall 'oh really?' and i'm all 'yep. except now i'm on to the reformation' and she's all 'oh how do you like that?' and i'm all 'well i also read about the catholic reformation and i thought it was much more interesting'

and my mom was all. she called to my dad that i liked the catholic reformation better than the protestant reformation. and my mom was all 'daddy likes the protestant one better' and then i heard my dad say something else and she was all 'he says it's the source of constitutional government' and i'm all mhm and then she tells me that my dad saw the mom of this friend of mine who goes to jmu and then she she told him something about this friend and this other girl who goes to my school and i'm all 'what??' and so my dad gets on the phone

and the first thing my dad says is 'so you like the catholic reformation better?' and i'm all 'no, i just thought it was more interesting to read about in my textbook' or whatever jesus christ. and then he goes on to tell me that this woman had some idea that me and this other girl woudl go down to jmu in a couple weeks when our two football teams play each other and i almost had an aneurysm because this girl that goes to my schoolis really really unfriendly and i don't really like her and i can't imagine wasting a whole fucking day at some crappy football game yeah.

and then my dad asks me what classes i'm thinking of taking next semester and i tell him, and then he tells me to take care and i'm all 'okay bye'

and then he hung up! and then i remembered that my sister wanted to talk to me and now i feel really really sad and guilty oh no! fuck. maybe she didn't really wanna talk to me i don't know

i just feel really bad

i hope she comes on im tonight so i can talk to her. bah. never ever mention anything with the word 'reformation' in it around my dad.

That really sucks.. parents can be the worst.

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:26 PM

and i have to do my friggin laundry i don't have any panties left the washing machines have been occupied all day EVERYONE does their laundry on sunday sughh. i could not wait a day longer. not so much the pantie aspect as the overflowing hamper aspect but both combined make it imperative that i do my laundry today. *looks at watch*

ughhhhh

oh yeah. my roommate. she says 'what the crap'

why???

crap? ugh. it bothers me. as if like. ugh. isn't intent like/ you know? like suddenly substituting a word for hell removes the intent associated with it? ughhh

Sadako · 11-03-2002, 10:28 PM

You're just being a bit odd now.

oh yeah i forgot the funniest part. we have this vietnamese restaurant in my home town well duh.

so like. for as long as i can remember like every time i've seen my dad like gone home my dad has talked about hwo this restaurant sent him a phony bill or put a phony charge on his credit card or something.

and tonight like they're coming up to get me on the 25 and i'm all 'so we're going out to dinner then hm?' and he's all 'yeah but you have to be careful. that vietnamese restaurant sent me a phony bill'

and i'm all 'you mean the one in c-ville right?' and he's all 'no the one in williamsburg did it'

and i'm all 'umm daddy weren't you talking about a month ago about how the one in c-ville put some phony charge on your credit card?' and he's all 'oh i don't know. if i did i don't remember. but i know for certain that the one in williamsburg did'

wtf?

is he okay?

Sadako · 11-03-2002, 10:31 PM

Alright, maybe you just have issues with your dad.

I hate my dad too.

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:33 PM

nah i luv my dad i jus tdon't get how he's been raving for months that a certain vietnamese restaurant sent him a phony bill and suddenly he is now ranting about how a different vietnamese restaurant sent him a phony bill. maybe he was just confused?

is my memory faulty?

Sadako · 11-03-2002, 10:34 PM

Perhaps he just doesn't trust the Vietnamese.

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:36 PM

it's possible. he's going a little funny.

Sadako · 11-03-2002, 10:37 PM

My father is odd too, not funny.. just bitter and angry.

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:39 PM

i'm mostly just worried my sister is very sad she didn't get to talk to me. i guess if she was really sad they would've called back. i dunno. i think she's lonely. maybe less lonely now that my other sister moved back i dunno. but they don't get along too well.

Sadako · 11-03-2002, 10:42 PM

Well, why don't you just call back if you want to talk to your sister?

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:44 PM

:-/

yeah i prolly shoulda done that. but the thing is like also. welll one i don't have a calling card so when i wanna clal them i call them on my cell phone then they call back. and they also lately have been sort of concerned at how much these phone calls cost them so i don't wanna make them spend mor emoney on a phone call you know. i dunno. i was considering calling back i prolly should have. but there's also the aspect that i have a lot of homework to do (why am i on nepthoria i know i know) i dunno. i probably should have called back i just figured if my sister actually wanted to talk to me they'd call back and if she didn't then i'd save my parents some money.

Sadako · 11-03-2002, 10:46 PM

Just have them call you back.. it'll be fine.

Don't you usually get free weekends with cell phones?

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 10:55 PM

um i dunno. i get like 50 minutes a month or something.

nah it's too late to have them call me back and i have a lot of homework to do. oh well. i guess my sister will just have to feel sad and unloved.

oh jeez

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 11:00 PM

and it's not like i necessarily want to talk to her. like i really don't have much to tell her. like i'm sure i could think of something if i tried and sure it would be nice to talk to her, but i'm not really desperate or in great need of talking to her. the whole issue is how badly she wanted to talk to me and i'm not sure.

Samsa · 11-03-2002, 11:02 PM

someone tried to call while my roommate was on the phone (it rang right after i got off)

i hope it wasn't my sister. oh shit.
