Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I have been busy. No, I have been lazy. So lazy. I sleep until 1:00 then eat breakfast then sleep some more. But not for long. I leave for California this saturday. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. You see everyone I am going with has this idea that Peter and I are "verbally abusive." Now it is true that we tend to speak our mind and joke around a lot but I don't think we take it too far very often. So tonight Randy laid down some rules for the trip, one of them being no cutting people down. Fine with me right. But then the rest of that night people were doing nothing but picking on and saying how I shouldn't even go on the trip because I cut people down too much. Now wait just one darn second. The trip hasn't even started and people are tearing me to pieces thinking it's OK because they think the rule was only for me and Peter? I mean what the crap are they talking about? Doesn't that seem a little hypocritical or them? So needless to say I took off extremely disgruntled. I was almost tempted to just tell Randy I'm skipping the trip all together. But hopefully things will change. I mean of course I am going to cut everyone down if they tear into me! So after writing a song I feel a little better. But I am still so pissed! Here are the lyrics. Tell me if you think they are any good.
mirror
~verses~
You tell me not to raise my voice
but then you scream at me
You lay down the rules, but you yourself
you break them more then me

You tell me that I need to be
more kind and more gentle
But than you turn around, you cut me down
in every possible way

~chorus~
You try to point out
all of my faults
but you don't even
look in the mirror
all you hypocrites
take the plank
out of your face
and take a look at your mirror

~bridge~
I try to be kind
I try to be patient
I try to be loving
but it's so hard
when you think that
I can do no right/you can do no wrong (second time)

Well, yeah that pretty much sums it up. All I can say is that they had better change before the trip. Because I know they will be able to say anything they want but I will get jumped on if I say anything back. If anyone that is going to California is reading this... good, I hope you feel like crap. The only person that stood up for me was Adam (thanks!) and maybe Leah, I can't remember but I don't think even she did.

On a lighter note: I spent the rest of my Borders gift card on a 582 page graphic novel called blankets by Craig Thompson. It is really good so far. I am trying (and failing) not to read it too much so I can read it in the van on the way to California. I am on page 76 and that was just when I was in line to buy it.
