I came here to vent out my frustration... I am still frustrated-- and annoyed. But I almost think there's no point in venting it all out in the first place, because I just get more annoyed about it. So never mind that.
And yeah!! This is what my blog is for, right? Yet there's no way I'm going to talk about it, because there's no point. I just get more annoyed about it as I think about it. After all, I'm the one who made my dad angry in the first place. I'm the one at fault.
But I apologized for being the butt-head. He called me geeky and square, and deep down, I admit to that. BUT STILL, why does he have to continue to give me what seems to be the cold shoulder? I'm aware that he isn't at his best today. Yet I can't get over the fact that this whole day nearly he has barely said a word to me. And that REALLY SUCKS when he's the only other person at home and I just so happen to love my dad very much. It sucks because I hate being ignored by him. It sucks because when he is not in a good mood, I feel intimidated to even say much to him.
You can argue that, yes, if I wanted to talk to him so much I could just come up with some way to start a conversation. But it isn't that easy. Seriously, sometimes my dad can be so scary.
All in all, I was just really annoyed when I was eating my soup in his room (because that's what we normally do when we eat together) and he was on his computer the whole time, with his back facing me, basically completely ignoring me. Yeah, I didn't say anything. But what can I say? I don't know what to say. I'm afraid that if I say anything the least bit cheerful or whatever, I'll simply get no real response, or no good response. Like you know when you start your convo with a question, and then the person answers and then you go "Oh, cool." or "I see,"--- then total silence. This is what I'm dealing with!
Which is fine, HEY-- I DESERVE IT I GUESS. Besides, he has every right to be in a bad mood if he wants to be. For all I know, he has worked hard enough to need a break. So yeah, fine. But it darn bugs the hell out of me anyway. Like, why am I never mad enough or entitled enough to be mad at my dad? (Not that I should want that... )
Okay, so that sounded really childish right now... Ignore that if you like.
Most of the time when I am annoyed with something my dad has said, I tend to shrug it off eventually because what he says ends up being true, so I have no real way to argue and well-- it ends up being pointless. Like, why bother bringing past things up again?
But now I'm REALLY annoyed. I may have no right to be, but I am. I probably should be the one comforting my dad, or trying to make him cheerful. But I don't think that's his problem. His problem today is with me, I think. He laughs about stuff he's read on the internet, but hasn't once smiled at me. WHICH IS FINE, heck, I don't care (liar).
GAAAH. I'm such a wuss. I can't stand it.

I'm sorry to hear that your dad is angry.
This is an excellent use of your blog, btw. You are really venting your feelings. You are not hiding anything, and lultimately, that's how blogs SHOULD be. They are for us to use for ourselves, not to show to other people. I should do that more with my blog and focus less on how it would appear to other people. I tend to not write really personal things on my blog, but now I'm thinking, maybe Ishould be a bit braver about that. 'cause I think doing that has helped you out.
As far as talking toyour dad, well,silence will get you nowhere. Scary as he may seem (and I know how that feels, especially when I think of the prospect of getting yelled at), I think you have to talk to him. Make sure he knows that you care about him (even if it seems a duh) and ask him why he is angry at you. Don't say, "are you," because then he can lie and say no. say "why are you," and then he'll either be forced to explain, or if he's really mad he might not answer.
Even if he doesn't answer, your having asked will show him that you care and want him to not be angry at you. Show him that you want him not to be angry at you, not because of bratty reasons, but because you love him dearly and he IS your only company in the house. You value him, and THAT is why you want to know why he is angry with you. Try to get that message across.
Communication can definitely be a difficult thing sometimes. Especially, ironically, when it is people you know very well and love a lot.
You just messaged me and I heard that things got made up, so I'm really glad to hear that. If it happens in the future though, um, maybe my advice might help.
You are really interesting when you vent your emotions, can I say that? I mean, all those people you hide your emotions away from - they are missing out! You are intense!
See, you're not boring at all, and you do have things to say. Say them just like this, like you mean them, and as they come from your head.
:)
