So, an update. The A-Man wrote back! He pretty much said that he'd come up to see me...which is like a three hour drive. So...there's potential that this might end up working out...lol. My parents/family could meet him so...yeah...
That was a really short update.
Random comment: I had a pedicure today. My first ever. It was fun - there was a chair massage as well. :D
That's it.

Drama....and comedy....and yeah
So, my first entry on my tenth blog, lol. Actually, I think it's like my fourth. Anyway, I always had a lot of difficulty making blogs because I never understood why I should pour my heart out onto an internet page that anyone can read...So, with that in mind, let the heart pouring begin.
As for the name of the blog, I've always been told that if my family/life were a movie, it'd probably be a sitcom. And honestly, that's probably right. But there's a lot of drama too, thus, Dramatic Comedy. And Pathos is the Greek for tragedy and Komos is Greek for comedy so pathosandkomos.blogspot.com. Brilliant, if I can say so myself... :p
I'm am rather annoyed with the 'rents right now. It seems whenever I come up with a brilliant plan, they kind of joke around and give me "non-options" which I don't recognize as "non-options" and run with. For example, there's this guy (A-Man) that asked me to meet him in a nearby city on Saturday. Now, don't think I'm like meeting guys over the internet or whatnot because I'm not. In fact, I know this guy. We spent like 10 days together this summer... (form your own opinions).
Anyway, so I wanted to meet this guy and asked my parents if it was cool. And surprisingly, they said yes. I was really surprised mainly because I knew that my dad had this rule that I wasn't allowed to date until he met the dude. So, even if it wasn't a date, I was still going to be alone with the A-Man and anyway. So, yeah, I was kind of surprised. And then my dad gave me a 'non-option', which I failed to recognize as a 'non-option', and told me I could take the train/bus if I wanted. So, I looked up train tix and emailed the A-Man to see if he could pick me up at the train station. He said he could and that's kind of when my dad realized that I was serious and not being "silly". And he informed me that the train was a 'non-option' that he had presented as a way of demonstrating how complicated it would be for me to meet the A-Man. So, I guess I failed, lol.
Then I received a wonderful lecture on dating guys my dad hasn't met to which I kept saying things along the lines of "but what do I say to the A-Man? I can't like say no after saying yes!" So my dad told me I had to tell him no, but I could invite him up to our place on Saturday instead. In fact, my father even said that if he wanted to come up for dinner on Saturday, spend the night, and drive back Sunday, that'd be cool. (Now, that shocked me.) Or, I could cart along my 13 year old brother...haha...no. a) he wouldn't want to go, b) that'd be incredibly awkward, c) um...no.
So, I had to email the A-Man and tell him. And I kind of feel like scum for saying yes and then having to cancel. I really wanted to meet up with him as well... Like, it's so hard having to say no after saying yes, especially when I thought I had parental support. And now I find out that it was all 'non-options' not real 'options'. So I failed the test, lol, and I'll bet the guy never speaks to me again because I've been (in my opinion) treating him badly. Like, personally, if I was the dude, I'd feel stupid or something if a girl said yes and cancelled, said yes and cancelled, then invited me to drive twice the distance on the off-chance that her parents said she could date me. But, that's probably why I'm a girl, not a guy, lol.
I've come to the conclusion, yet again, that I think too much and I should just let things run their course. Honestly, I can't control everything which is slightly an issue of mine, lol.
Ah, btw - I thought I'd keep this blog throughout my senior year. Kind of like an inside look into a senior's last year. :D
