Give me a break

I'm not really doing anything this summer. Sure, I volunteer for Patty Wetterling's campaign, I hang out with my friends, do various drugs, and read. But I'm not really accomplishing anything. My sleep schedule is fairly crazy; I regularly go to sleep at 5 AM and wake up in the afternoon. My parents (read: dad & step-mom) are kind of mad about this, since they think that having a regular sleep schedule is part of being a "normal person." Personally, I think that I've transcended the bounds of being normal for the summer. I just want to enjoy myself.

My parents got divorced when I was 11, and I've lived with my dad ever since. But when I tell my mom that I'm having the time of my life doing nothing this summer, she understands. Funny how that works.
