Well, Tomokofest went relatively well, and though we didn't make as much money as last year, we appereared more organized and the show seemed better and more professional. My monologue went pretty well. People laughed. Then at Steak & Shake, Josh talked me into performing my DI, and that was kinda strange. It was the last time I'll ever do that piece. At least for the season. I have voice lessons today, and then hopefully Logan and I will go and hang out tonight.

Haven't got the presence of mind to give the whole Dad Thing any more thought. When I read his message (below) I thought about what he said about being proud of me. Being proud of me for being on speech team was the really ironic part, because it was after the first speech meet of the year that he tore me all up about being selfish and unorganized... All because I crashed his plans. It certainly wasn't my idea. I only ended up making him like ten minutes late anyway. I don't know what the big deal was. He didn't have to react the way that he did. He does that so often though, he just takes the little things that go wrong and turns them into traumatic events for me. I mean, shit happens, the test is in how you deal with it. You don't deal with problems by hurting the people that you are supposed to care about. My dad does. He has a history of yelling until I'm in tears, and even then not stopping. He scares me. He's scared me since I was a child. But I'm not a child anymore, and I don't have to take that from him anymore. And I won't.
