I Hate American Idol

I've noticed my blogs are getting less and less interesting...

Unfortunately I can't think of anything to spice it up... so, ya know...

deal with it.

I've realized that I could get a whole lot more done if I didn't have to rely on my parents.

What caused me to realize this is when I asked my mother if she could pay for membership in the National Society of High School Scholars (say that five times fast).

I realize now it was a bad idea since American Idol was on and her mind was off, but that doesn't really deserve the frustrated response I got.

The deadline is April 30th, and I felt it looming nearer and nearer, so I wanted to just do it instead of wait and miss out on the opportunity, not being accepted because we couldn't make a simple deadline. I don't know if they would care that much about the deadline but I'd rather not find out.

Her response was a rant on how when I want to do something I just have to have it done right then. Apparently this means that I don't take her time seriously. I don't take her American Idol time seriously.

I hate American Idol...

The sad thing is, since she said she would do it later, I can never ask her to do it again with her being frustrated at me. So, in order for this to be done I will either have to piss her off at the right time or I will have to wait for her to say she will do it, which, according to my experience, will never happen.

You have no idea how frustrating this is.

I want something done, not just any something, but something that could help give me a better future, and she can't be bothered to get her purse and sign a check.

It may sound like I am spoiled, but it has nothing to do with her not wanting to pay the money, it is just not wanting to do anything at the moment. Besides, it is only $45, and gives me the opportunity to receive thousands of dollars in scholarships and a better chance of getting into the college I want to go to.

The possibility of me not getting into the college I want because my mom just didn't feel like it kills me. I don't know, maybe I'm just being dramatic, but I feel like I have a right to be.

I can't help but wonder if I am the only one with parents like this, as all I ever hear about at school are parents that push them, if anything a little too hard, to succeed in life.

I don't doubt that I can get this membership check in, if nothing else I can talk to somebody else in my family to get it done. Knowing that I had to turn to somebody else for something like this might hurt my mom's feelings, but, really, maybe she does need to just wake up and realize that it would only take a minute to write a check, as opposed to yelling at your son for asking for your help.

I don't know, maybe I just expect too much of people.
