Life likes to throw curve balls at you when you don't see them coming.

Unfortunately, I'm living in Logan for another summer. stare *cringes* I was arguing on the phone with Mom about my summer plans living in Monticello, mainly because she thought I was STILL being stupid and foolish to stay with with two incoming college freshmen. Luckily, Laurie was online and I had to talk to her. I was about to tell her the bad news, but she had bad news herself.

Her parents finally told her this weekend that they were getting divorced. Richard and Irene have been together for decades! And this is right before Laurie's graduation! I don't know where her father is going, but I know she had to stay with her mom and get a local job. I don't blame her for staying with Irene; that lady is awesome. It's scary to think that my family is about to join with them in the years to come.

So, now I am stuck in a rut and I want to get out without giving into my family. I have already ticked my sister off; no surprise there. My parents don't understand what is going on with me. For years, I have been the goody-two-shoes. Now I am in my experimenting stage, and they don't like it. I'm about to take it to another level if they keep controlling my life. I don't want to do it, but if it means it will get my point across, so be it.

At least they are allowing me *some* freedom, but not the kind of freedom I want. I don't want to stay at home every night. I want to stay out late and crash at one of my friends' places for the night, especially if there is a party. Mom would kill me, but I don't care.

I'm *this* close to give the world two middle fingers and say "Screw you."
