Tense? Not on the surface!!! :D
2004-01-30

I went to my parent’s last night and hung out for about an hour. It was weird, like normal, but with a lot of tension underneath, but everyone did a good job of remaining chipper. You could tell that dad was all doped up. I forget what medication they put him on, but he was talkative and smiling and carrying on a conversation with Jeff most of the time we were there. I guess we will be back over there tonight just like always. It gets a little boring at times, all we ever do is play cards and get pissed at each other, so we are just going to have movie night tonight. I am waiting for him to freak out.

I feel kinda bad though, I really gave Jeff the shit end of the stick last night. I was real honest as to what I would have done if Dad had gone through with it. I would’ve been totally self destructive and I just got over being self-destructive less than two years ago. Last night I had a stiff voddy and OJ and called it good. I got the gumption from it that I needed to face him.

“Now all I need is midget with some gin and I’ll be in business!”

If anyone knows where that is from, let me know please! I hate quoting without a source. I heard it on the radio and it was really appropriate to my mood.

So we went over to his house and I walked up to him and grabbed his face and gave him a huge kiss and told him I loved him and went over to give mom a hug. I think I surprised the shit out of him. I haven’t kissed my dad in ages. He seemed nervous before that but I think he chilled out after a while. Then when we left I smooched him again and gave him a hug that lasted longer than the hug he gave me and I told him I loved him.

And I wasn’t scared of him once. He has lost that edge over me. He can’t make me cry or feel ashamed for nothing anymore. Because I am not like him. Not in the way he thinks I am. He just proved it. I feel sorry for him now, but I have no patience for it anymore. I am tired of feeling like I am not good enough, and I won’t anymore. Hopefully he can handle that, and maybe it’s something he needs. I don’t think he ever meant to scare me, I just ended up that way due to his actions. I hope it bothers him.
