my mother is going to be in the hospital until friday. my parents came home early yesterday, and i was like shouldn’t they be at work, but they didn’t say anything to me, and then i took a nap, and when i woke up they weren’t there, so i called my mother and my father answered the phone and he said they were at the er. who doesn’t tell their daughter they’re going to the er? seriously. anyway, i dunno what to feel. my mom said she missed me, and i said you too, because she was already crying and what else was i supposed to say, but i’m really only annoyed that i’m stuck here. i’m pretty sure i’m a bad person.

my favorite things are my dog and my computer. my dog is a weimaraner/german shepherd named belle, and she’s the best thing ever. and my computer is a macbook pro with obama, greenpeace, human rights campaign, amnesty international, world wildlife fund, and national organization for women stickers on it.
