Peacocks, Pills, and Parents

This past week has been pretty eventful in a way. On Wednesday night, I got super drunk and took some Oxycotin which I regretted the next day because I can't remember if I added this guy on Facebook and then cancelled the request which would be awkward because I've never actually talked to this guy he was just someone from my school that I find attractive. Also the next day I was super shaky and almost threw up. I ended up hanging out with Tianna that day, and I told her this story from when I was a little kid. If I remember right I was probably only about four years old when my family decided to get some peacocks, this was when we lived out in the middle of nowhere with a huge yard, but no land. Anyways, we were in our truck, and my brothers were holding onto the peacocks. When we got home, my parents told my brothers to make sure they had a good grip on the peacocks because the doors to the truck were going to open. My parents open the door, and out fly the peacocks except the babies. My parents chased after the peacocks, but they weren't able to get them. I remember for the longest time we had peacocks just sitting in the field by our house, and somedays they would be in the trees of our yard. I don't know what ended up happening to any of the peacocks, but I do know that one night when we came home my dad was driving. We pulled into the driveway, and we see a possum in our yard. Instead of parking the car my dad starts to speed up. He chases the possum through our yard in the car until he leaves. He was disappointed in the end because he was trying to kill it. 

On Friday, my dad and I were at the bank together when we started talking about my brother, Josh. I was saying I was concerned for him because of his problems with substance abuse, and as usual my dad just brushed off saying he thinks Josh is doing just fine. He also said that Josh needs a nice woman in his life because apparently she will solve all his problems. He then proceeded to ask me when I was going to find myself a nice man. I told him I was going to be like Coco Chanel and never get married. He didn't say anything to that, but it made me mad that he expects me to find a man and settle down after all these years of him telling me that marriage and having children was for boring people. So I guess he wants me to do what everybody does regardless of what I want. I let it go at the time because we were going to see The Avett Brothers, but if he brings it up again I might say something more about it. 

Also The Avett Brothers concert was absolutely amazing like they always are. I love those guys so much I wish I could spend the rest of my life following them around. They make me so happy.
