hi folks!
i appreciate all the support with my situation with my son recently. . but here's another kicker. . his school called me up today and said that they want to send him to washington d.c. as a "future statesman" represenative.
(we live in california)
(of course we have to pay for the trip)
one of the reasons i'm so bummed about his grades...

Okay. All is not lost. (Like I am some great example...but still, I'm better than a TOTAL loser, so listen up.)
My last GPA in high school was .333. That was only because my art teacher took pity on me and gave me a C. (Yup. Failed every single other thing.)
I was in the middle of my junior year. After protracted teacher (well, principal) /parent conferences and last ditch efforts to salvage my wasted school career (ergo, life), I got my GED and went to college. I got honors and stuff and since then I've had shitty jobs and great jobs.
Most importantly (hey, my mom's a social worker, whaddaya want?), I'm happy.
And my family is more important to me than anything. I thank God for them every day, and I don't even believe in God.
blah blah blah blah
what I really meant to say was, you're doing fine, and your son will be fine. never let him forget that you're paying close attention, and that your love for him is unconditional.
Eventually you will both be surprised to look back and remember how things are now;

so much anger, so much pain
my dad cancelled holloween for me once when i was 13, because i said i was gonna be somewhere and i wasn't. now that i think about it, it really was a good thing, all my friends just went around and got all drunk and acted a fool. but maybe you could just watch some not so spooky scary movies, like labrinyth or something.

Killer Klowns is one of my all-time favorites!!
phoolsfire:
its all good in the establishment.... i love attack of the killer klowns from outerspace, but i don't think ill ever be able to eat cotton candy again. its right up there with the killer tomatoes, and night of the living dead. you know, those movies you watch and laugh at while your with your friends, but when you watch them all alone at work late at night. then they kinda really creep you out. or maybe thats just me.
my favorites quotes from my mom. .
"if you had a brain, you'd be dangerous"
"pitiful"
"i got this on sale for you. ."
everybody have a fun weekend!
that's an order!

That doesn't let me send you pictures or I would have done it already, silly. That's okay. You can choose to remain anonymous if you wish. But I have to say, that whole restraining order thing was just a misunderstanding. I wouldn't stalk you. 
Favorite quote from my mom:
"You spend money like a madwoman!"
I guess you'd have to know my mom.

Usually my big toe. Sometimes my middle toe. Sometimes my first three toes.
My mom's quotes that are on constant rotation:
"Jesus christ!"
"Shit!"
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"
"You're the laziest man in creation" (to my dad)
"Did you take your pills?"
"Did you get your period?"
"You really need to clean your room"
"You really need a new jacket"
"You really need to go to the doctor"
"Don't buy any weird clothes" (when I go shopping with my friends, she actually tells them not to let me buy any "weird" clothes. none of us can figure out what this means.)
