Since it's a three day weekend I decided to spend the weekend with my Dad and grandparents. {Hence the previous post about hearing Dad tell me that marriage is crap and I should never engage in that activity.}
Last night we just kinda hung out and today was going to be our fun day. He had asked me to go help wire Uncle Brian's house this morning at eight but I told him last night that would not be happening {one of the first times in my entire life that I have expressed my honest opinion to him about whether or not I actually wanted to do something. He seemed a little surprised.} because I was freaking exhausted. I slept in until nine. Oh, it felt so good.
After I got up I did some quick workouts, got ready for the day, and did homework until he came back home. Once home we went to "Zorro - the musical" at the Hale Center Theater. Normally anything with the attachment, "the musical", is a huge negative to me. It's probably going to be ultra gay. And at first it kind of was. But then it got really good! I was pleasantly surprised. One of my favorite movies, Zorro the Gay Blade, will be viewed soon because the this musical made me think of it. It also made me think about how much I miss theater. There are a couple reasons I miss it. One being that I truly loved it, I had a passion and talent for acting and it's hard to live without doing something you love so deeply. Sure, it was just an extensive hobby and I don't want to devote my life to it, but I cannot wait to pick it up again. Another reason, this one bad and selfish, is that I want to show my friends what I can do. Everybody's so cool and can do amazing things. I'm so boring. If they could see me act! They would think I'm amazing! I want my friends to be impressed by me. I want Alex to be impressed by me. I feel like he never is. I'm constantly impressed with him, he's always doing incredible things that just blow me away. But he's never been wowed by me. If he could see me act.. maybe he would be.
After the show we went shopping and I got some stuff and we ate some food and it was fine. By the time we got home, around five, I was tired again and needed a break from him. I locked myself in my room and laid down for an hour or two. Perfect recharge.
At seven we left again, going to see a movie. Since the movie didn't start until nine thirty we went and strolled through the stores at the District. We went into Petco and laughed our heads off. We seriously had so much fun in a pet store, haha, we're odd people. Just goes to show that even if I can't handle him some times we can have so much fun together. He may not have raised me but I am definitely his daughter; we have a little too much in common. I'll have to post the video of the mouse.. oh geez. :) We went to get ice cream and sat down at a table next to a bunch of teenage guys. These kids looked like a bunch of tools but were checking me out so dad and I laughed over that for a while. The movie, This Means War, was pretty good. Totally my style, funny and lots of action but also a little romance and a happy ending. Several inappropriate and terribly unnecessary scenes. Not one I would recommend seeing with any family members or significant others unless married. Overall though, I enjoyed it. I think.
Tomorrow I'm going to church with them at one. When I asked dad what time his ward met he froze up. "Uh..." Yeah, that's what I thought. He had a period of becoming active again but now he's out of it again. He's off and on, that one is. I'm always worried about him. It's stressful for me. We've always had an odd relationship, one that put me in a guardianship role. I have always felt the need to protect him and make sure he's okay. Messed up is what is. He's inactive again, awesome.
