Interesting dinner.

Yeah.

My dad and I fight over a lot of stuff over the dinner table. We never really "fight," just argue. Usually it's politics or law because it seems either the news, "Cops," or "America's Most Wanted" is on air. (During lunch-time it was the "People's Court" or "Judge Judy." XD)

Other times it's "America's Funniest Home videos," but we don't talk when that's on--we're too busy laughing our asses off. In between the arguments, I talk about stuff. Now that I think about it, I'm unusually open with my parents. But then again, they do ask questions about the people around me...

A couple days ago I told them that Durran would finally be able to go to Japan and all that good stuff, and then I went on with other stuff. Then today, I told my parents to not yell at me because I don't think I'll be able to go to Korea like they said. Now that I look back, I wish I could've done even more for my essay. Yeah, I spent a few weeks working on it, but it's total crap. I should've put more detail into my motives. They got mad, but not as mad as I expected. Then silence as we continued eating.

Then my Dad mentioned Durran with his usual "that boy" title, since he doesn't really know any other guy friends I have, so it could only mean him. He said I should try going for the same thing he's doing. I was like, "You want me to go to Japan?!" He shrugged and was like, "well, yeah..."

I told him it was impractical, and that by the time I could apply, graduation would be drawing near. Also, this dude in charge of the exchange program back at UIC told me that I wouldn't be able to take useful classes since I was finished with my general studies, plus the fact I was an english major. It'll probably be the same thing at SIUC.

But...so weird! My parents never really liked it when I mention anything about Japan or whatever. They don't hate them; I think it's more foolish pride than anything.

Wonder why they want me out of the country so much, lol. They want me back, and now they want me away. I know they're looking about for my own good though.

Unrelated news...uhh. I got a shot today...hurt like hell. The Kenshin Kaden book came in the mail today. So happy--it's pretty. Still waiting for my Tsubasa Chronicles artbook to come...

Yeah. Still trying to pull through. I feel so locked in place.
