oh, MOM

i have one of those mosquito moms, as in, she's always buzzing in my ear about something.

Examples of what my mom Buzzes about:

-"Why don't you join the Young, Professional and Singles Group?" (because i dont have a job. and i am in love wtih someone already.)

-"Why don't you go take Ish to get an ice cream cone or something? he would love that, he looks up to you so much!" (because actually he doesnt look up to me, because actually he would probably just ditch me and go skate boarding with his freakazoid friends and then i would come home with out him and he would come home two hours later, possibly with broken limbs, and then i would get in trouble for not watching him.)

an then the dreaded:

-"you know, Early, my friend Brenda/manicurist Guan-Yin/Rabbi Shmuel has a daughter your age, why don't you invite her over to play?"

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I don't like doing this because girls my age

1. are bitches

2.dont like the things i like

3. aren't usually really enthusiastic when you invite them over to "play".

so i usually make an excuse about being busy applying to jobs or something (ha!) but when i got home mom sprang it on me in the form of RACHEL, an aggrivatingly tall girl, sitting at my kitchen counter when i came downstairs for a snack.

then my mom looked at me like she was really surprised to see me or something and said "oh earlene, it's you i didnt realize you were home this is rachel she's about your age and new in town oh i forgot i have an appointment i gotta run you two get to know each other bye!"

and then she ran out of the room leaving me and rachel alone, staring at each other awkwardly.

so i said "uhm....wanna come upstairs and play with my avatar?"

and she took a deep sigh and closed her eyes for about 5 seconds before finally answering "sure."

so i took her upstairs and tried to entertain her but she wasn't really interested in my avatar, or neopets, or anything, and she kept leaving her room to call people on her cellphone, i think she wanted someone to pick her up.

so then i realized "a ha!" what do all girls my age like to do? TAKE PICTURES OF THEMSELVES!!!!!

so i suggested a photo shoot using my iphoto booth.

but she wasn't even interested in that, and left pretty abruptly after mumbling something about taking the bus home.

well.

at least I tried
