dahlia_moon: (Ten Wet)
I woke up this morning dead tired. I did stumble into bed at 4 in the morning after taking a hour long bath. I woke up at ten minutes to 12 in the afternoon so I have no idea why I'm dead tired, just that I am. Going back to school in about three weeks is going to kill me. I'm dreading it even now. ):

I also tried harassing my parents to let me go and see a meteor show that went on tonight with my school's planetarium (the Perseids were going to be seen). But I of course couldn't go because well, a) I couldn't just drive myself and my parents for some reason couldn't drive me and b) they said I couldn't go because it'd be at night and I'd be alone and they weren't having that. (Have I ranted here about my parents' double standard about how my BROTHERS can stay out as late as they want but I can't stay out past ten unless I'm with someone? Preferably a male someone? Not that I listen to them about going to bed at a reasonable hour but man, this old-country attitude of theirs really pisses me off.) I'm still so angry and bummed out that I missed this awesome opportunity.

I guess all I can do now is just add watching a meteor shower on my 'to experience' list.

D: But I'm still so bummed and it's going to keep gnawing at me, I can tell.

I also randomly just remembered this Sailor Moon story I wrote like six months ago and promptly forgot about it - until tonight when I suddenly remembered it and hunted it down - If I Could Fall In Love. Yeah, the story is as cheesy as the title lets on but *shrug* I love cheesy stories so, can't feel too guilty. :D There's probably more I can do with the story - some tweaking and editing here and there- but I'll save that for another time and when I have more energy.

Excuse me while I vent a bit here.

I HATE double standards, and lemme tell ya, I get them a lot around here. For the most part, I can take it because I know my parents are deeply rooted in their old-fashioned ideals and whatnot, and it's not like they can change and it's not like I'm a confrontational person so I won't blow my top over it because that'd be childless and it won't solve anything but make me guilty later on. Although I have told my parents how much I hate that they treat me differently just because I'm a girl, and therefore inferior as opposed to my brothers. But- and I hate to admit it- they're probably right. Left to my own devices, I don't think I'd make it to my next birthday.

I know that my parents are only protecting me because there are a lot of bad things in the world, it's just kind of hard to like it in the moment, you know?

I don't know. And it's not like they baby me or anything, it's just when it comes to basic rules like when we're allowed to stay out till, and whatnot, I always get the short end of the stick. The brothers can stay out till midnight, but I can't stay out past eight unless someone is with me but my dear brothers don't have to adhere to the same rules, which just sucks because it's ridiculous. But I can't seem to do anything about it because they are right.

So basically I feel as though I'm stuck.

Just let me hope that it can get better when I'm actually an adult. (And being a few inches taller would help, you hear that Universe??)

This morning, twin brother and I found some ants near the potted plants in the kitchen on our way to school.

Brother promptly started to stomp on them, and I felt sad for the poor little creatures. They were just minding their own business and suddenly there's a big shoe coming down on them. It made me think of that Hey Little Ant book.

I know ants are annoying and everything, but they don't deserve to die. Sheesh.
