that shrunken heads are. How does one get bones so tiny?
Today is my dad’s birthday. He told me to ‘buy something for myself, have him pay for it, and that he would feel good because he bought me something’. But I didn’t want to do that, so yesterday, after filling out an application at Target, I walked around.
Originally, I had wanted to buy him some SkullCandy headphones for when he’s mowing the lawn. I’ve heard that is a very horrible chore to do, and I am glad I have never had to do it. But, no job, no money. So I thought, okay, if not the $50 ones, the $30 black ones. But my mother did not want to pitch in. I almost considered the $15 ones, but I will wait until Christmas or something. I’ll most likely have money.
I ended up buying him a package of Starbuck’s Dark Expresso Chocolate. This morning, my two younger sisters and I gave him the cards, and we ended up watching The Birzzare Foods show and Samantha Browns on the Travel channel. Which just reminded me of the movie Amelie. Amelie knows that her father has always wanted to travel, and gives the gnome to a flight attendant to take pictures all over the place and send postcards to her dad, which eventually inspires him to take off.
It kind of went down hill when my mom came home around..2ish? It was just akward and silent, except for the Mexican music playing in the background. Eventually, my dad retreated to the basement when my mom had finished grilling and came in to eat.
I wish my family was a family.
So I’m going to not think about that for a while and I will try to fnd information on how to shrink heads. I would imagine my next quest would be finding an object to attempt at shrinking.
If anyone actually sees this post, help, please?
the wonders of the world. i have to start paying more attention to things like that.
i don’t have bones of glass. i can handle throwing myself at life.

Is this some kind of message?
Anyway, it’s Sunday and I am here at my aunt’s again. This time, I’m having a better time. Not everyone is here from before, but my dad is. He brought some Bacardi Mojito Pomegrante (spelled wrong) and they were delicious. Much funner drinking with the family than it was on Friday.
It sounds stupid, but honestly, I’m a family person. I want my close, blood family to be together. I guess that’s kind of selfish though. One of the reasons is so I don’t have to choose. Living all together, we kind of still are choosing… I’m ready to write to Oprah.
