Nostalgia, disiplinary limits

it would probly be more useful for me to read my math text than Ellegirl. especially since i'm not in thinking mode, after missing school so much. but i did spend a few seconds looking at the matcounts packet, and my old papers. how can i be such a nostalgic packrat over something i dislike? i suppose its just scary math, with good memories. there are even specific problems i remember... its weird. but i am going. i promised, remember? and i dont want to just stay home. PLUS, i remembered Savanah didnt place last year. and she's freakishly smart. she's TWO years above average (like, took Alg 2 H in 8th grade.)

my brother skipped dinner because he was mad at our dysfunctional family, so now he's not allowed to eat at all. I'm going on a hunger strike with him. And of course i'm not sneaking him food... but that's not really the point. i know he's been fighting with my parents a lot, but you dont stop them from eating. My dad says he *can* eat, but he has to at dinner. its crazy. not technically illegal, but crazy.
