| Today I'm a ninja |

But I could also pass for a Muslim or a suicide bomber. I've wrapped a black t-shirt around my head, and the only thing visible are my eyes and some of my forehead. People can't tell if I'm smiling or not. In fact, I put only eye make up on today. It's been a challenge eating and drinking, and it's been hot! But at least my costume was free. One thing is that I did not win a prize this year. I've won all the other years they gave out prizes. I saw a cutie today who worked here. Too bad he did not get a chance to see my hotness. And I just saw a horrible photo of me in mid blink and my gut hanging out. Charming. Last night I saw my dad. I feel bad for dreading it, but I do dread being alone with him sometimes. The only reason is that he constantly complains about his life and his regrets. I hate dealing with people who are so down on themselves and it's even harder when it's your parent. He doesn't feel that he's accomplished anything in life except that he put me through university. He says he's not rich, his marriage has broken up, and he's constantly bored. The whole night he only asked me what I do after work. And then he tells me about his "friend." I don't know if he was finally admitting anything or not, but he's always claimed that she is a good friend and she has her own family, blah blah blah. So he lets out the truth last night (that my mother already knew) in that she doesn't like her husband...never really has. Stuck around for the kids, and she gladly lived here while the kids went to school and her husband was in Hong Kong, making money. And now that she and her family are all in Hong Kong, she wants to come back and live here. She is all set to take care of my dad. My dad says he's confused and doesn't know what he wants. I don't know why he is telling me this. He already knows he doesn't want my mom, so I don't know what he's confused about. There is no way he and my mom can be a happy couple together. All my dad sees is other couples their age, and he wishes he had what they have. And he's *still* whining that if my mom had taken the effort to talk to him and try to work things (albeit HIS way), then maybe the marriage could have been saved. [Look, the divorce papers are almost signed...MOVE ON.] He hasn't told his friend what to do...has just reminded her that if she moves here, her kids will probably hate her, and she won't have a family anymore. |

Anastacia's just said what I think - maybe he is asking for your blessing.
Ninjas rock. I wish I was a ninja. With ninjafury.

He may be asking for your advice too which is weird when coming from a parent. *shrug* I imagine that he will be better soon so you can begin to enjoy your time with him.

Thanks...I guess I'll see what happens. This woman might be visiting in December, but my dad is off to Hong Kong in January. I thought he was going to see her there.

Well, my dad has my blessing if he wants it. But I will be mad, too. "Oh, we're just friends" my ass!

Man, I hope my dad sorts things out. We've never been close, and it feels almost a little forced to be so buddy-buddy now.
