Sing, Until Your Lungs Give Out

This is my tenth post! Who knew I'd even get to five?



Okay, I'm in kind of a 'I'm not good enough' mood with my parents. So my birthday is coming up (the seventeenth, woot!), and my parents obviously are going to get me a couple of presents. The thing is, I really need a new bat for softball. I want an expensive one so I know that my coach won't tell me to get a new one as soon as I show up for practice. My mom and I went online shopping and got a $210 Synergy. I kind of didn't want it to be my present... just because I'd rather get something else, but I need the bat. My mom told me she'd buy it for me, not as a birthday gift. Just as a parent supporting a child's hobby. As if that isn't enough, the fall ball season alone is like 100 bucks too.

I want so bad to go to the Fall Out Boy concert in December. My mom told me that she would get 2 tickets, for me and Nicole. My dad wanted to come just to like "be there" in case of emergency, so that's another ticket. The thing is, my mom told me she would get them for me before she looked at the prices. And the only ones I've found are around $100 each. Sh*t. She got kind of stressed when I told her how much they were, and my dad is all, flat-out, "That's too much money." So I'm already pretty upset by now, but I know that if there's a will, there's a way. And THEN my mom starts talking to me later and tells me how mad my dad is at her. My dad recently quit his job and is trying to start a business.

Soo... I have about $70 that I can spend on a ticket. I would ask Nicole if she could offer up anything for her ticket, anything at all. That just seems kind of rude to me. Already saying we would pay, but then telling her she had to. So I'm just coward enough to tell you through this post, Nicole.

BUT I have a plan. See, I know my parents will pay for some of the price, at least like 50 bucks (I hope). That's already $130 with my money, plus anything that Nicole wants to offer up. My relatives will for sure send me cash for my birthday, so I can tell my parents just to use that. No one is making my dad go. Even THEN if it's not enough, I can always pay my parents back later. So there.


Today at school was okay. English is fine. We presented our name tablet things in front of the class. Some of them were interesting. Did you realize Dennis backwords is Sinned? Hmm.
Spanish is not that bad, but we just review old stuff the whole time, which I already know. It's kind of annoying. But I get to talk to Andy (Omg-- he has Andy Hurley's name! I just realized that) =] Today, Ryan came in and he was like, "Heyy, you were in the newspaper!"(for softball) Haha, that was pretty cool.
Key club met for the first time today at lunch. I couldn't hear anything that girl said.

Nicole, you better freaking do Drama Club! You're the only friend I have in there, so if you quit, I quit. Just sayin'.


And remember, my birthday is the seventeenth! THE SEVENTEENTH!
