Okay, here's the deal. My dad has cancer, and we've known this for about eight or nine years or something like that. Earlier this year, the tablet he had been taking to control it stopped working, and now he's seeing doctors all the time, and apparently his cancer is getting much worse really quickly, so I think he's gonna go onto some kind of experimental treatment... But my dad is fully peaking because he doesn't know how long he's got left, and he doesn't even know if he'll live long enough to see our new houses that we're moving into reasonably early next year.
Now, I have never really been close to my dad. But now my dad is fully worrying and stuff, and always getting me to hug him even though I don't want to, and earlier today when I was watching TV, he came and sat down next to me and was just holding my hand. So now I think I should avoid giving him opportunities to do stuff like that, because I am just worried that if I spend any time with him, I might end up getting attached to him, which I don't want because I know that he won't be around for long, and if I get close to him before he dies, I might not be able to take his death.
What should I do? I mean... he's an old man who is afraid, I shouldn't just avoid him. *sighs*

Okay, year 8 parent teacher interviews were last night. You only get an interview with a teacher if your parents specificly want one with them (which my parents don't want with anyone) or if the teacher wants one with your parents for some reason.
Now, the only teacher that wanted an interview with my parents was Mrs. Zerafa, she's one of my two home room teachers and she also teaches me geography. When she asked me to get an interview time (which happened last term) I stared at her and was saying something around the lines of ".... Why..... why do you want one with my parents? You're gonna say bad stuff, aren't you? Yeah... that's the only reason you could want one. And she says to me that everything she has to say is good except that she thinks I am not doing enough hours of homework each week.
So last week I finally tell my parents that they've got an interview with her, and then a couple of days later they tell me I gotta change the time because of the time my sister's been rostered on to work (but that's not really important.) But when they said that, I told them the reason that she had said she wanted the interview, and I said that if they wanted I could just make it so that they don't have to go because there's not much point in driving all the way there and all the way back just for a 5 minute interview with a teacher, but they just make me change it anyway.
So, all of last week I am being extra careful so as to not let any teachers, especially not Mrs. Zerafa (I'm really careful all the time anyway) see the cuts on my left wrist, like to make sure that she won't mention anything to my parents, though I kept telling myself I was being paranoid.
So anyway, my parents go to the interview, and later that night mum says to me that Mrs. Zerafa didn't mention anything about what I said she had said to me, and she asks me whether I wanna know what she did talk about, and I full on panic, so I say no, just in case it was something bad about cutting, I didn't want to be confronted by her.
Then later when I am going with my mum to pick up my sister from work (I went because it was a lightning storm and it was raining heaps and I don't think my mum should be driving alone in that kind of weather) and on the way there my mum just says how Mrs. Zerafa was saying all this good stuff about me, like how all my work is good and how I get along with people well and things... Yeah, so I am full on relieved, but I think it's kind of suspicious that she asked my parents to go there, and that was all she said.
So then today I am going to this maths thing, and as I am leaving, my mum says "Hold on." then grabs my right arm, pulls up my sleeve and stares at my wrist for like five seconds, and of corse, there's nothing on that wrist because the cuts are on my left wrist, and then she turns away and I start walking, then she grabs my right arm again and says "Let me look at your orther wrist." and I break away from her and say I'm late, and then I get into the car and leave...
Yeah, so now I am full on worried, I can't keep hiding my wrist from her 'cause she's probably gonna try to look again, I mean, the way I ran away from her must have been so suspicious....!! Ah!!! Now I have to finish this journal before Chris goes to bed.

The Comic Book Store
Posted Apr 25, 2004
Yeah, my sister's boyfriend, Liam works in a video store and a comic book store. He works in the comic book store on Sundays. I usually visit him there. I visited him today. It was such a slow day!! There were 2 customers... 2!!! A couple of other people came in, looked around and left without buying anything. Like, these 2 guys came in, then they left pretty soon. Then just as they left, two much younger guys came up the the door, and one of them exclaimed in a really high pitched voice "Why would you want to go in there?!" and then they walked off. Then Liam and I just started pissing ourselves laughing at them... though that wasn't the most laughing we did today.
We didn't really talk much, just read comics. I read some of the stuff in Too Much Coffee Man... heh heh, amusing. I also read a couple of Filler Bunny comics.... Poor Filler Bunny, all he wante was to die, but no, they made him dance and eat rectal meat. Yeah, I also read a few Squee comics, they're done by the same guy who does Filler Bunny. There was a page of Filler Bunny at the end of one of the Squee comic books, see 'cause the idea of Filler Bunny is that he's a bunny who fills up space.
Anyway, when it was time for the store to close, my brother (Blake) and my sister (Rebecca [Bec]) showed up. See, 'cause Blake drove Bec there and he was planning to drive me home and Bec and Liam were gonna go see a movie or something. Yeah, so Blake is saying how he hasn't slept or eaten in 2 days, but he was drinking ridiculously last night, and he keeps taking energy tablets.
Yeah, so then Bec asks Liam whether he asked Jo (Joanna, she works at Red Rooster, which is where my brother and sister work. Liam, Bec and I have alled claimed her as our wife, so she if often known as Wife.) to have sex with him (like, obviously if he had it'd be a joke, as is the whole wife thing.) Liam keeps saying that he doesn't remember doing that, though it is a possibility. Then Blake was saying how Bec pulled this from him telling her that Jo had got a text message when they were at work and she's like "Oh, it's from Liam, he says 'Come to my house for some passionate sex.'" or something around the lines of that. So Liam sends Jo a text message asking if this is true, and apparently when she said that to Blake, she was being sarcastic.
A little bit later Liam did something that full on reminded me of Bud Bundy (from Married... With Children) ... (I should really stop watching so much of the Married... With Children marathon) so I state that by saying "You full on Remind me of Bud Bundy from Married... With Children." and then Blake goes "Yeah, well he reminds me of..." Then he just drops his pants (luckily he wore underpants today, as he later told us he didn't do yesterday) and we're all just pissing ourselves laughing, like we're almost all just on the floor, and then we manage to stop when he pulls his pants up again. And Liam goes "So I remind you of shrimp." And Blake says "Hey!!... Jumbo shrimp." And then Liam says "Plankton." and Blake exclaims "Plankton?!" Heh heh, that was funny.
Yeah, then Luke, who works at the video store that Liam works in, so yeah, I got to meet Luke, finally. Bec's right, he's not as hot as you imagine him to be. Yeah, so we start talking to him about Blake dacking himself. Then me and Blake leave, and the fun adventures are over. *sigh*
... There should be more dackings in the world, it'd be so amusing! ... it'd make it easier to bite sticks. *winks at TB*
*is cold* I hope it rains tomorrow... What say I read over this to see how many typos I made? Eh, screw it. See y'all.
