family obligations

For some reason whenever I need to do something for myself or for school, the family obligations get in the way to a serious degree. I planned on going to the city Saturday to see Next to Normal and see my friend Rose (who I call Butch) and make her a part of my documentary. Instead of having a good, theatrical time, I will be stuck at my cousins 2 year old birthday party. I was ok going because I love, and I thought it was the day before. I dont know why my plans are always so conflicting and terrible. Someone up there is laughing at me for sure...
