It has been raining really hard these past couple of days, especially at night. On Friday night, I was driving home, and it was raining so hard I could barely see where I was going…in a 50 zone, I was going literally 35-40. And there was no one on the streets… But I guess it’s good to get some rain here since we never really do, even though I despise the rain.

Anyhow, today, I got my ears pierced. Yes, I am 18 and just a day ago, I still never had my ears pierced. I’ve always wanted to, but my mother told me not to until I was older, because her ears got infected pretty badly. I guess she just had a bad experience. But it never really bothered me a lot that my ears weren’t pierced, although I always envied people who got to wear pretty earrings. But now I guess I will too, soon!

So, on New Year’s Eve, I went out with my family and we went to a nice hotel to have drinks. My dad was already pretty drunk, but he likes to drink to relax (and no, he is not an alcoholic, but maybe you’ll think that he is, after this story..heh). But he was getting pretty loud and obnoxious (but all in good spirit), except my sister was annoyed and told him to stop drinking. She ended up blowing air out of her straw at his shirt, and some water came out of the straw. That was out of line, even in my opinion. Anyhow, he ended up getting really mad and decided (in his drunk state) to start yelling at her about how my sister was making him out to be “an evil drunk” even though he “wasn’t drunk.” Long story short, he embarrassed all of us, and my sister, my best friend, and I took a walk and didn’t go back until we were leaving.

My dad still hasn’t talked to my sister, and I didn’t realize I did anything wrong (…I didn’t..) until I realized he was (and still is) giving me the cold shoulder. What the hell. I did nothing wrong. What bullshit. It’s ridiculous, and he needs to get over himself.
