@Anita: Thanks!

As the saying goes, time heals all wounds. “Core beliefs”.. could you give me an example? Not to familiar with the term, though I think I know what it means. Stuff you believe in, obviously, but I get lost as to what kind of stuff that would include.

@Driftwood: Hey. Thanks for all of the positive reminders that I don’t give myself enough.

It’s possible that he could pester me about the charter school, since mother tells him everything she knows about me to him, even though he doesn’t really seem to care.

I’m pretty good with detecting patterns, and also saw this as a possibility. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. My biggest concern there is the chance of arriving back home after he does, and having to suffer through the tense atmosphere. But I think I’d be mostly safe. It seems that he only tends to get mouthy when it’s just him, one of my friends and I. He doesn’t talk to me directly anymore, but randomly makes jokes attacking me to my friends/mother. And no one stands up for me. But it would only trigger the “it’s just a joke, dude” (yes, he genuinely says “dude”) whining.

But I’m starting to really look forward to the charter school, as I do minor clothes shopping, here and there. My mother has decided that for my christmas present this year, she’s going to put aside a ridiculous amount of money for a thrift store shopping trip. Only downside to that is that I couldn’t go to the Christmas drag queen show that just passed, but that’s fine. Clothes over drag queens, and they’ll probably be back next year, anyways.

Oh, and as far as tv shows go, the oldest one I’ve watched is probably Seinfeld. I know, I know – children these days..

It’s nearly 5am. I wish I could go to sleep at a normal time. That’d be nice.

Also, I just finished painting my s.o. his birthday gift, since mom’s rushing me to get it done by the 10th, even though his birthday is over a month away. Sigh. Here’s a picture. https://s16.postimg.org/o3963tu2t/16_11_29_05_06_29_126_deco.jpg

‘Kay, it’s 5am now. I’m gonna go watch some youtube stuff, and pass out.
