So I'm on the computer crying right now, hoping that my dad doesn't hate me right now.
This afternoon me and my dad were waiting for my mom to come home so she can pick my sister and her friend up, so me and my dad could go walking, but while we were waiting my cell phone rang and it was from this lady who worked at this Modeling and Acting company and she wanted to interview me and see if I would like a part-time job there. I was a bit skeptical, but one of my mottos are : "This stupid thing to do is not to give a chance"
So, I wanted to check it out with caution. So I planned a meeting with her (I planned to take my mom with me to help decide if I should do it).
My mom comes home, takes the kids, and me and my dad go for our walk.
So my dad starts talking about how dangerous it is, and how much he was against the whole thing. And I was fine with it(I was expecting him to do as much). I didn't mind really, I knew it could be dangerous, but then again what if it wasn't and I turned something good down without checking it out first.(I mean, it's happened before.)
But then My dad asks me if I'm only doing it for my self esteem and that I'm perfect the way I am, and so I start talking. Trying to tell him that I already don't have a very good self esteem, that I'm not doing it for that, and a couple of other things that don't quite come to mind right now.
So some how the conversation comes to a point where I tell him things I don't like, and I told him how I hate how he calls anime, manga, and my drawings "Chichiubi" (it's this name he created a long time ago that was shaped into the word "chichiubi" It was originally "Inu-ashaing", but he would always use it to describe everything that was related to anime and manga. He would even describe my drawings that way, and that's why I don't show him any of my drawings anymore. But it didn't stop there, he would say it when I'm on the computer, or playing a video game, even when I wasn't doing anything even related to anime. So after a couple of years hearing it non-stop it got very annoying.)
So I told him, in the nicest way I could, that I didn't like it when he said that and that it made me feel bad and like he was dissing me. So then he sounded hurt, and I instantly regretted what I said, and he was going on about how he didn't mean it that he'll stop using any of the little pet nicknames he has for anything (and my dad with no nicknames is like him without a sense of humor) So I felt like he was doing that just to punish me and I told him that. But he said he wasn't trying to and that he didn't mean to hurt me, but then I felt like a total ass for doing that to him, and that's one of the reasons why I don't usually talk to him about how I feel about things he does that I don't like, it's basically why I talk to about anything that concerns me and my feelings.
And then he goes on and tell me a story about when he was little and people gave him nicknames and he wasn't bothered by them. And at that moment I felt very misunderstood and was on the verge of crying.
I tried to tell him that the nicknames aren't what bother me, it's just that one thing, but he didn't listen to me and I couldn't take it anymore so I started crying.
Now I don't want to make my dad sound like a bad guy, because I really really love him and I care about him. So I would never try to do anything that would upset him. So when he sounded hurt I felt like such a shit-head. I love my dad very much, and I know he loves me a lot. I mean he's showed me that more ways than one so I felt like I basically just bit the hand that feeds me. So I could help but start crying and hating myself for doing such a crappy thing to him.
So once I started crying he was trying to calming down, you know the way you would do with a toddler, laugh it out, but show sympathy at the same time. And I felt really bad and I hate myself for crying like that. I mean my dad must felt like he was the bad guy there, but I didn't mean to make him feel that way. And he gave me his shades to put on over my glasses so the other people outside couldn't tell that I was crying, but I felt like a fool, sniffling and clinging to my dad's hand like I did. I mean I've never done that in my whole life. I always try to do things so no one in my family got mad at me, especially my dad because when I was little I hated my mom and I would always pray from my dad to get home so i could spend time with him, but lately its seem like their going to get a divorce because just last night my dad locked my mom out of their room and she had to sleep in my brother's old room. But I love my dad I really do, so when that happened I couldn't stop crying, I still haven't stopped.
So that's the story. When I got home you were the only person I thought of to talk to because....well....you know why.
So take your time replying, and I hope you're able to finish all of your work, cuz I know your busy and everything. T^T

oh dear you sound just like me. dont worry and dont get too upset over it. i know your dad isn't going to hold on to it as a forever deal. im sure hes fine with it onw. the problem is, parents who are defensive tend to turn things around and only try to make you feel worse, sometimes without meaning to. my moms the same way, but its old now and i just get more angry with her and i tell her to stop it because she always twists everything around for a pity party on herself. i can be mad at something that has nothing to do with her and she'll turn it around to 'everythings my fault! i just cant do anything right!" and im often left like ... ooookkkaay? that had nothing to do with you. but thats a tangent. i think your dad, like a lot of men, probably didnt know how to respond and whatever he said came out sounding wrong. or maybe you're both two peas in apod. maybe you both feel bad and you keep feeding off of that. it doesnt seem like that big of a deal but it is good that you shared your feelings with him, because you are so nice and it was such a huge leap just to admit to your own father the way you feel about something. its a key to relationships, talking things out and explaining them thoroughly. i think that all the things that has happened has got you stressed and maybe its good to explain these stresses to your dad so he knows what is going on in your life and how his private life even is efecting you. i think a lot of the time parents are oblivious to the fact that even their secrets show through to their children. i mean, the children are there just as much as the spouse is. when parents fight, it's often the children who feel the reprecussions of it. have you felt really stressed lately? seems like it since he had that weird talk with you and your sister. and even though your dad calls everything you enjoy by that nickname it can become almost insulting as if he doesnt appreciate anything you like, whereas he thinks nothing of it and uses it as a cute pet name to describe all that you like. perhaps you should ask him what his meaning and intentions of that nickname are. i bet he doesnt even think twice when he uses it, but i bet it was a new insight to him to know that it bothered you. youre dad sounds nice and it was sweet that he gave you his sunglasses. you two sound cute. i never had that with my dad. not since i was real little and even then all i can remember is the bottle of beer in his hand 24/7 but i know my dad was a good person. no doubt about it. as for the modeling, i can see where he'd be worried but i think it is a very smart idea to take your mother with you. have you applied for modeling? how'd they get your number? NEVER go alone. i did watch a show on that where they were pervs and they would talk the young models into posing naked and then try to do other innapropriate things with them. so never go alone, even for a shoot or once you think it's safe. take your mom with you or even your dad at all times until your 100% positive it's legit. well, i was supposed to go on a walk with my husband and i read this and thought it was very important that i reply now. i hope what i said made sense. and i hope you are feeling better. im sure things will be fine.
well im gonna pry my sleeping husband off the couch and get his butt moving! talk to you later!

Sorry it took me forever to reply. I went on D.A. and couple of times and saw your reply, but I always had company with me so I couldn't reply.
So You were absolutely right, like always, and talking to you sent a huge cement block off my shoulders.
After I sent you that god awful message I went to go to sleep, but before that my dad came into my room and apologized, and then I apologized, and everything seemed much better. Now we're on this little text battle of 'who loves who more' I think my dad is winning, but I'm putting up a pretty good fight.
So yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, and he even took me to work with him the other day, which was fun. They're making a cafe over inside the building for the employees.
Sorry, I took up your time.
And about the modeling thing, apparently I signed up for it at the mall. I was going to call the lady who called me to cancel the meeting, but then my sister had this giant sleepover party, and my cousins were over and I completely forgot to call it off, then Sunday came and passed (which was the day of the meeting) and well....I'm only a teenager I'm allowed to forget important things every once in a while. XP
So I'm still unemployed, broke, and very tired.
I'll have to start up on my summer homework soon....Blegh~!
I hate summer homework, and summer reading.
So enough about me!
How are you!?
How is work?
How's Hubby?

glad to hear everythings fine with you and your dad. ok lets see. me? oh im not interesting! lol. im tired today, a little frustrated. family issues and fights have been keeping my health in a tizzy. my friend is down from san diego and her mom wont let her do anything. she got married and they are having a bbq to celebrate. shes my BF and she married my husbands brother. they got married in the court house and never had a party or anything so they are down 2 weeks. well, its been over a week and ive seen her 2. the first day her mom planned family things and we were supposed to hang out. second day she planned family things and i didnt get to hang out till later that night. then i worked mon and tues all day and night and wed i had off so that was going to be our day to have beer and play videogames all day! nope... her mom made plans to buy more shit for the bbq that night so my friend and i shopped all afternoon and then shopped all night. and then her mom made her send me home cause they had more stuff to do. then i worked. today i was supposed to go out and decorate but they didnt do what they were supposed to do yesterday and now i cant hang out today. her mom knows when we are supposed to hang out and screws it up everytime and my friend keeps letting it happen. so i wont see my friend until tomorrow for the bbq and the fourth for fireworks at the families place. then i work 2 days all day and night and wed she heads back. we planned lunch for wed but im betting 20 bucks her mom makes more family plans before she leaves. im kinda pissed about it actually. i see my best friend about once every 6 months and ive gotten to actually hang out and have fun for 3 hours... -_-
now my husband is supposed to be getting a new job but instead he wants to start his own computer repair business which we cant afford to do. instead of getting the 40,000 a year job hes just f*cking around in our basement with trashed computers and thinks he can make enough income off of that.
the lady that was on maternity leave came back and resigned for the end of the month so ill be bumped up to full time with paid vacation. my editor i work with also resigned at the same time so ill be working with 2 newbies and probably training both! i have a gallery show to prepare for which im hardly motivated for because of stress and im teaching a class at the same time.
so... really... lifes irritating, annoying, stressful, and sucky right now. but theres a lot of potential for better. ill get full time and a raise which is good. i just need to get over this stress hump.

That sounds like no good.... = 3=
Maybe you should talk your friend into telling her mom to lat off.
Pull some of that "you could over work yourself and get sick, lets relax for a day..." or something like that.
Use the power of persuasion!
I can kinda relate to your friend though, it's tough letting family down, especially a bossy mom (I would know....)
Hopefully the newbs wont be too....Newbish...
My mom gets newbs at her job all the time, some of them turn out to be really fun! I hope those are the types you're going to work with.
And more money sounds good!
I wish I had money.... >3<
I'm back to depending on my moms wallet for cash. Now I remember why I saved up so much money when I was little. Having to wait on the wallet that's never full for you sucks major balls.
I got my summers reading books today, and a new manga, so it didn't sucks that bad. But when he passed stores at the mall, I wanted to slice something. (what I wanted to slice is still a mystery to me...)
I heard on the radio that scientist have proven that taking in the scent of coffee beans helps reduce stress. And it must be true because I heard the same exact thing when I went to this place called "Basin" and they had a coffee bean tester tube, where people could smell it, and the cashier said the same thing. 83
A lot of stuff in that store smelled heavenly!
They even had pirate soap.
Most of the things there was for relaxation and the body, a lot of aroma therapy stuff--and I ain't talkin' 'bout candles either!

Sounds like a fun time =3 I'm glad you got the chance.
Speaking of Xmas my parents recently decided to go to the Dominican Republic in December. It's waaaay~ better than going during the summer(like we usually do) when it's super hot!

most of the places ive been were small like OK was really only for alcohol on sunday so ill basically say ive never gone for a good reason, dad just drug us there a couple times when we were little. kansas city and branson moussiri. family there and a band trip. colorado i lived and went to school there and california i live for one month. my honeymoon was in florida and ohio was a couple months ago. ive only been on 2 real vacations before. honeymoon and ohio lol. lame.
work is hectic and kinda annoying right now. my boss thinks way too highly of the girl who is quitting and worries i wont do as well as her... which ive proven time and time again that im fine especially when she was on maternity leave. plus ive booked him like a 5000 ad deal by ads i built, did an entire section on my own which was like a seperate paper and people like my ads. i dont get it. i think he forgotthat when i applied for my job and showed him my portfolio he said it was way more impressive than when the other girl i work with applied. so annoying. plus i have a BFA in illustrations and he still asks if i can draw. wtf...

summer school? summer homework? bummer. i dunno what i want you to draw. something incredibly goofy! do a sketch blog. i think i had a journal post where i told my friends to take like 10 seconds and write down all the random things that popped into your head and then do a bunch of sketches on the same page of all those things that you listed. heres the link to the one i did.

Sorry I couldn't wait for your reply, I just really need someone to talk to right now.
I've got good news and worried news. I'll start on the good news.
Good News: I've been inspired recently, so now I have a whole bunch of drawings I plan on doing. Yay for me!
Worried news:
Last night my sister and I were in my room playing this new game she got and my dad came in. He seemed like his usual self, y';know being fatherly and silly, when all of a sudden his mood kinda changed and he was serious-and not that angry kind of serious, the depressing kind of serious-and he said we need to talk (me, my sister, and him) but he said that we'll talk about it on Saturday Night (which is tonight). He said he wanted us to enjoy ourselves before the talk (which freaked me out!) I asked him if we were in trouble but he said 'no' and said that he was the one in trouble and that he's been in trouble for some time now.
So, now I can't calm down-I'm basically having a panic attack. Last night I could barely get any sleep because I was thinking of the multiple situations, outcomes, and reasons of our "talk". I think the two that scare me the most is the talk about his future death(he's pretty old), or he gets a gun and kills us because he spent all of his money gambling (Which is close to impossible because 1] My dad doesn't gamble, 2] he's one of the most religious people I know, 3] his career is handling mentally ill patients, and 4] He doesn't believe in violence of any kind, seriously he wouldn't by assassins creed for me.) So really I don't know what to think. It's bothering me to the bone and I found myself actually washing the dishes so I could occupy my time and not think about it.
I know that you probably have a lot of things going on in your life, and you can't possibly be bothered right now by my problem. I just wanted to be able to talk to someone about this and you were the first person I thought of, cuz you seem to get me and I really don't feel comfortable about talking about this stuff with anyone else. Y'know how people say "if you talk about it you'll feel better" The really doesn't work for me. I just feel like shit at the end when I talk about stuff, so I usually keep it to myself, but when I talk to you I actually feel a lot better (Wow, that sounds sappy.) But it's true. I actually feel a lot better now. You don't have to reply if you don't want to.(I hope you're not freaked out by this.)
Um....I guess I'll talk to you later, then.....

Oh, Ohio! That sound like.....so how were the potatoes there? 8)
It was confusing, actually.
That night he didn't mention anything, and that made me uber nervous. But, then I got a text from him, here I'll show you what it said:"Hey Marlita,(<-a pet name he gave me -///-) I just wanted you to know that whatever happens I will always love you.."
I panicked after that and ran to his room to see if he was alive. He was. Thank god.
He was in his room sleeping with the tv on like always.
So then I texted him back, and it's been okay from then on.
But then I got one of those 24-hour sicknesses on Sunday. I was vomiting everywhere. It was horrible.
And today he seemed upset for some reason. <
Do you watch the soccer world cup?

um somethings very fishy going on here. id go talk to your mom if i were you. or maybe you should instgate conversation. he could be sick, he could be plotting suicide and maybe hes getting a divorce? im not trying to make you worry but there are some very scary signs going on and after the things that my dad said and did right before he died, id be worried and trying to figure something out. maybe express to him that its not fair that he keeps making you worry and that whatever it is that he needs to tell you, he should do it asap because its better than waiting forever.
i had no potatoes while i was there lol. we stayed at a water park resort it was awesome!
no i havent goten the chance to watch the world cup. howd usa and england do? didnt they play against each other this past weekend?

I did talk to my mom, but she said not to worry, and that he was mad at her, or something like that, but that didn't help much. Water park!? Lucky, I don't like water parks cuz I get all self-conscious about myself, and I'm afraid of swimming in someone else pee. X|
USA and England tied, but they were practically beating up each other while they were playing. I have to admit USA isn't the best when it comes to soccer, but they were lucky son-of-a-bitches. If you watched it you could tell luck, or god, was on their side. They didn't win though. It was a tie. But many were they handsy. I hope they do better though. =3

A lot more I think. US went against Slovakia (I think that's how you spell it in english). They tired, but US was supposed to win(that's what I heard) I didn't watch the whole thing cuz of personal issues (I had to use the bathroom)
I think they start eliminations next week.
So how's work?

That's....well it sounds tiring...
But that's good that Angela is coming back, cuz that means a little more free time for you.
Are you gonna take pics of your gallery or something? I would really like to see it. .3.
I would be horrible if I was a teacher, no matter what I would teach. I have no patience for others, especially if I'm already having a bad day. I can help people, but I can't teach people.

lol i cant stand stupid people or people who refuse to learn but teaching is different because these people want to learn what im teaching and its nice talking to people and inspiring them with something you enjoy.
yeah im kinda ready for angela to be back so i can slow down. and yes, i will take photos at the gallery, i work at the paper and they cover the shows so theres no way i wont have a photo. also, ill be posting the artwork up here on deviantart afterwards so you all can see!

That's how I feel for most sports, but for Soccer and Hokey I don't mind watching. Plus, I suck at skating so I can't play hokey very well. But I did go to soccer camp, it was fun, even though I felt awkward being around a whole bunch of kids I barely knew.

i went to a band camp and it was awkward at first but i loved my roommate and years later i found her on facebook. we dont talk much but its still cool how you find people from years ago on the internet now.

I find it more awkward because it's like; "Hi, I'm the one kid at summer camp that you completely ignored." and then their like; ".....bye!"

It's odd to hit it off with a roomie?
What did you guys do? Go to the mall, or something?

I like meeting old friends, but it's always I don't remember them, or they don't remember me...which is weird cuz I think it's kinda hard to forget me.
I'm the kind of person who's super quiet it class, and really bouncy and fun during lunch, or outside of school.

well usually when you meet new people its awkward, or its more onesided and youre kinda thinking, man this persons annoying or you just flat out are irritated or disgusted by them but you play nice and forget about them once youre gone. well she and i woulda been really good friends if we lived close together and went to the same school. i could see her becoming my best friend. we cried when i had to leave. im always nice to people and i always made friends with anyone its just hard for me to find real friends who are good to me too. we were only together a week and we had serious conversations and had fun doing everything together. she cried on night and gave me her life story and it was fine and not awkward and for me thats kinda rare, to find a genuine nice, caring person whos willing to be as good as a friend to you as you are to them. but of course we left camp and never saw each other again. kinda sad really. you and i sound a lot alike. we'd probably be friends if we went to school together lol. i was the wild bouncy one who made everyone laugh, but then i also was secretly depressed all the time. i think i gt that from my dad

Wow. We do sound a lot alike.
That's super awesome epic! Xo
Getting to know someone so well during such a short amount of time, and then having such a heart felt moment. It sounds really nice. Like you connected with someone, and that kind of thing doesn't happen often.
People rarely find others to connect with in such a deep way.
I would like to think that me and my best friend Kassandra connected in a way like that.
Sad thing after middle school we never saw each other. It was really depressing--still depressing. We have no way to contact each other, and she was moving that summer so I didn't know where her new place was.
I was called, randomly on my cellphone once, and it was her.
I was at the movies with my neighbor friend when I got a call, which is weird cuz I never get phone calls.
And it was her, funny thing is during the conversation she asked me to go see the same exact movie I was already watching with my friend. But I told her I would anyways.
A couple of days later I called her back and the number wasn't in service anymore.
The moral of this story is that I connected with someone too, and me and you have a lot in common.
....so anyways.....
Sorry about that.....
What did you do during July 4th?
and do you still go to school?
Aren't you in your last year? Or did you finish?

How do you add stories to Deviant Art as I have tried to add a chapter but it wouldn't let me. I used Word to type up the story but do you have to use a different format to add stories?

hmm ya know i dont remember for sure. there should be a literature category you click on and if submitting a word document doesnt work try hitting below the box (where the are thumbnail usually shows up after uploading an artwork) insert text and copying and pasting your text in there. if that doesnt work, let me know. all my stuff was word document pretty much and it uploaded fine.
