This Is From Watching Too Much
… of Gilmore Girls. I am on the verge of tears. Why? I’m watching an episode in season 4 where Lane, Korean daughter of very strict Korean mother, sneaks out to go to a band gig, her first band gig ever. However, she didn’t leave a note or anything of that sort and left as soon as her mother fell asleep. Rory, best friend of Lane, calls her mother, Lorelai, best friend (and mother) of Rory, to tell her what Lane had done and Lorelai says that what Lane did was not a good thing to do and as a fellow mother, she needed to give Lane’s mother a call.
When Lorelai calls, she tells Mrs. Kim, Lane’s mother, that Lane is not there, but is safe with Rory at Yale. The scene shoots to Mrs. Kim and behind her, you see all of her house lights on with some Korean people in the background praying and holding a candle as well as firemen in the house. Mrs. Kim was so worried about Lane that she completely freaked out and called everyone she could. You could see tears in her eyes because she was so upset by the entire thing.
So why am I crying? Well, one, crying is contagious for me. Two, I just felt all the love that Mrs. Kim had for Lane. She was so worried, so concerned by Lane’s disappearance that she called everyone she could think of. I mean, I think that when a parent is that stressed out about a kid, you know that s/he really loves the kid, you know?
Anyway, back to the episode.

This Is Getting Better
So I am staying until next week as planned. Good, no?
Yesterday, RN invited me to go to a party with him and his friends at a hotel. I knew that if I had someone pick me up, I would have inconvenience that person later on when I would want to leave because I knew that I was not going to stay over. My only other option would be to ask my parents for the car and after much consideration, I asked them.
I was surprised to find that my father had allowed me to take the car so easily, so I took my sister’s advice and I told him my plan. I told him that I was going to head back and if in a month I had not found a job again, I would consider going back home. I told him that I had already spoken to a woman who’s going to help me find a job and that for the summer, I would consider taking a class or two. He knows that since I will not be attending the Spring semester I will not get financial aid over the summer and he says he will be willing to pay for that all. It is quite expensive to take a summer course since every unit is at least $200. I told him that I may or may not feel confident enough to take classes, but at least I said that instead of promising to take classes, right?
Anyway, when I was talking to him, he wasn’t angry. He had on a concerned look, but that is quite understandable. Since then, I have felt much more at ease here knowing that there isn’t any awkward tension between us. Or at least I think there isn’t any.
The party was rather mellow. It wasn’t large; probably about eight people or so when I was there. They had a hookah and participated in that for a while. I met some rather interesting people. There was a guy, M, who was trying to do something with magic. I don’t want to try explain it all, but it had to do with gathering five trump cards from a tarot card set. We did a lot of lounging around and just talking. I finally had to go and drove RN home before heading home myself. I don’t know if it got crazier after I left since they didn’t buy the alcohol until then, but it was still a nice party to go to.
As for today, I’ve just been at home holed up in my room watching Gilmore Girls and listening to new music. There’s a bunch going on in my head (and sadly, my heart), but for now, I just want to try and erase it all and pretend that I’ve forgotten.
