Does anyone else find it extraordinarily awkward to talk to relatives on the phone, or am I just a lunatic? i HATE talking on the phone. It always feels like i'm auditioning for something, its weird. I end up talking fast, and not making much sense, and i get really on edge. Which is ultra strange, because I have no problem talking normally in any other social situation.
Why did this come up? Well, my dad calls me every Sunday, and its always kind of odd. Whenever i tell someone that I feel weird talking to my dad, they dont get it. Theyre like, its your DAD why would the conversation be weird? But it just is. the conversation is always fairly stilted. Like, I say what I did that weekend, and how my grades are, and what i've been doing in choir and theatre and stuff. And then he tells me how Panzer is doing, and what he's been up to, and then we compare weather. im not even joking, we talk about the weather. And I dont even go into depth about anything thats going on with me. Like if I was having a fight with one of my friends, he would never know about it. Does anyone else have that problem?

And then this mornin g i woke up to a message on the phone from my Grampa Harvey from the mainland. I dont think ive talked to him on the phone since I was 10. I send him a letter abotu once a year and then he'll send me one back, maybe with a cheque in it. So anyways, he called this morning and I completely neglected to call him. I told myself it was because I had things to do, but i didnt really. Then when my sister came home she checked the messages and called him back right away. I feel like a bad person. But its not like i dont want to talk to him or anything. I just dont want to do it over the phone. I DID talk to him when my sister called though. I guess he doesnt like the phone much either because after 5 minutes he said he had to go do some stuff and hung up. My family is strange.

So this weekend was boring. My mom actually let me go out on Friday to Lauras for some reason.. I guess she figures its my second home or something, and my grounding extends to over there too. maybe she just grounds me because its easier than having to drive me all over the place on Saturday nights. Either way, i got to go, and mel went too. Alleah was going to come but ditched it in favour of drinking at B-rads party. Me and Laura really wanted to learn some new music in three part though, because we hadnt in a while, so we did Rockin Robin, Blue Moon, part of Its Only a Paper Moon, and part of Lollipop ( which sucked) with Mel singing the third part. It was tres fun, and we sounded pretty good. Mel isnt really used to learning harmony like that though, so it was slow going at first. I think shes got the hang of it now.
So we both slept over and hung out until 2 the next day, when my mom came to pick me up so we could go to the mall, where I bought a new choir outfit, because my old one is gross.
Saturday night and all of today have been pretty dull, so I wont go into detail. Also, i have to go take out the garbage.
Ciao!
