December 12, 2001 The floor looks like marble. She reads a book as if nothing else in the world mattered. He reads the local rag, wearing a fuzzy red cap and coke-bottle glasses. He tells a story to a semi-interested young lady. Noble red golf-hat and an African accent? What is he writing? Oh, nothing special. A faint smile. Wide eyes -- toying with me.

I thought i'd let you know how miserable my life is. because you hate me so much and all. i spend the entire thanksgiving break being lectured and told -what a terrible dresser i am - that i need to grow up - that i need to Act and look more like an adult - that i need to be pro-active - that i don't know where i'm going because i'm immature and have no concept of the future - that i need to learn how to take care of myself - that my parents aren't going to be around forever telling me what to do...basically that i need to grow up. so the whole family joined in in critisizing me and making me feel terrible. you arent the only one who thinks badly of me. We spent the whole entire thanksgiving arguing. and shouting and arguing. And most of the arguing was about me and how incompetent i am. Now i'm even more stressed because of all of that...and schoolwork. how was your thanksgiving? I hope it was better than mine. -i guess i'm writing to you, because i dont' know. i know you hate me nad never want to talk to me, but i don't know.
