Wasted...

It's almost the end of the summer (even though we have a little over a month before college starts back up) and it feels like I've gotten 0 things accomplished. I haven't really even been able to have much fun, either.

This past weekend, we had 2 family weddings on Saturday, and 1 of my friends was having friends over to celebrate her 21st birthday, which I really wanted to be at, so I told my mom that I was going there Saturday night. She pretty much flipped out and was like "I see where your loyalites lie...with your friends," and all that bullshit. So, we argued about that for awhile, and finally I said "whatever," and went upstairs because I was tired of arguing about it and I had made up my mind that I was going to the party.

Later that night, she had finally calmed down enough for me to explain to her that I was planning on going to the receptions and that I wasn't going to leave 5 minutes after I got there, so she was okay. But I was really pissed that she had gotten all mad and tried to guilt-trip me into not going because she thought I was choosing my friends over my family.

First of all, I don't even know the 2 family members that got married very well, and second of all, neither of them would be willing to stay the entire time at my wedding reception, so I didn't really feel the need to stay the whole time at theirs.

Secondly, I haven't gotten to go and hang out with my friends very much. Usually, if I want to see them, they either have to stop by my house or we meet up somewhere in town. It's not fair for me to keep asking them to drive into town (because most of them now live in other cities) to see me all the time and not offer to go visit them. So, I figured I could at least handle driving the 45 minutes to Katy's house at least once this summer. It turned out to be a lot of fun, and now I'm hoping that I'll get the chance to do it again before the summer is over. :)
