I don't own Degrassi. I've never met the people that own Degrassi. I'm sometimes ashamed of my own addiction to Degrassi. But damnit, I'll love it until I die. Title courtesy of Black Tape for a Blue Girl. Do visit their site. They're an awesome ethereal goth band.
Oh. My. Gawd. I somehow managed to beat out Paige. It probably was, as she said, that Caitlin felt sorry for me, but hell, I'll take what I can get. Score one for the freaks!
So, my first day was today. (Sorry I haven't updated for a few.) Caitlin is absolutely awesome. She actually seemed pleased to have me working for her, god knows why. I get a store room all to myself--it's super neat. She even gave me an assignment. I'm checking out teen hotlines. Mixed feelings about that, it hits a little too close to home.
I was late for school this morning. Normally I'm a good kid, though, so they let it go, no warnings or anything. But, I had a test that period, and I missed some time I needed for it. It was a total killer, I don't think anyone finished, so no wonder I didn't.
And... I kind of lied a little bit in my last entry. When I said I wouldn't do a certain something again, well, I guess I spoke too soon. It's just, it makes everything better, you know? Like, I can function again. Besides, it's not like I'm doing drugs or anything. There's nothing wrong with me, it's just a little idiosyncrasy or something. Everyone has one. Right?
Mom's still drinking. She took yesterday off for some odd reason (yesterday was a super wonderful day), but was back at it worse than ever today. So, I just pretend to look the other way, rinse out the bottles, and cover her up when she falls asleep. No big deal. I can handle it. All families are screwed up in some way, other than that, I have it pretty good. I have money, a roof over my head, and my dad is the best dad in the world. So, who am I to complain?
Yours,
