A rather random day
9:28pm 04/10/2008
It's been a rather uneventful 24 hours. We slept in and then waited and waited for Mum and Dad to finally leave to go shopping, because they wanted to do some before going out to an amusement park. They finally left at about 10am, and me and Andrew watched Rush Hour 3 on DVD while they were gone.
After lunch we finally headed off to an amusement park about 10 minutes out of Tuncurry. However, when we got there, we watch the go-karts from the parking lot. Turns out there's no “go” in them at all; they're pulled to the top of a hill and then sent down one of three paths to let gravity do all the work. We gave the place a miss and tried another one in the area, but the only good thing there for people my age was the go-karts, and they were too slow to be any fun, so we gave that place a miss as well.
After a short detour by Mum's request to watch some water skiing (she used to water ski when she was younger and she's still obsessed with it), we went and visited Godfrey at his work to make plans for tomorrow. We then headed off to a beach nearby that was protected from sea creatures by an underwater net. Me and Andrew both had a swim there. It was alright, not too cold, but the waves were non-existent because it was so shallow.
We then went for a drive along the surf beach in Tuncurry. After being reassured that we'd be alright without a permit, we dropped the pressure in our tyres and started driving. We must of driven about ten kilometres overall. Once we were done, Dad dropped us off where we were staying and then drove off to get something from the shops.
Because he didn't have the keys, Dad had to get our attention to get one of us to open the garage and up into the apartment. He tried calling Mum's and Andrew's mobile phones, but neither of them heard them ring. He then resorted to honking the horn, and I finally heard him and rushed downstairs to let him in.
When he got upstairs, he was no doubt in a bad mood. Guess who he has to take it out on? He sees me on the laptop and comes straight over and yells at me to get off it. I decide “ok, I can finish up easily, I'll get off”. Less then 5 seconds later, he comes back over and tries to shut the screen, slamming my fingers in it. I naturally react with an “OI!”, and lift the screen back up. Next thing I know, I get a slap across the face. Reason why? “You're spending too much time on the laptop.” Real reason why? Dad was angry and I'm an easy target. I am so sick of taking his bullshit.
I spent most of the evening doing the maths homework I had to bring with me, and I've got a bunch of Physics homework to do tomorrow. I would've done it sooner but I didn't have the time or room in the place in Sydney. And don't get me started about the revision and homework I have to do when I get back.
It's 10pm now and I'm being yelled at to get in the shower, so I guess I'll write more later. So much for being an uneventful day.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=100c4666-3bd0-407b-998b-6c3aaaae3e3d)
