The 102th summer of the Sen Song
Eleventh day of summer. . .I think.
Today I turned seventeen. Seventeen, two years away from my coming of age ceremony when I am finally considered a man in the eyes of the Sen Song. And what does Ma get me for a present to mark this occasion? A book. Not any type of book though, she got me a journal. What kind of man writes in a journal? Certainly not me of course.
Then why are you writing in here?
SORAYA! STOP WRITING IN MY JOURNAL, DAMN IT!
Teehee. Whatever you say, little brother.
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted with my darling sister Soraya, journals are not for men. They are for little, silly girls who like writing about their crush in detail. I wonder if Soraya has a journal. I bet she writes all about that guy she kept sneaking out to see last week and was obsessed-
AMIR! YOU WILL STOP WRITING ABOUT THAT IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!
Didn't I tell you to stop writing in my journal?
I can write it your journal when it has to do with me and my love life.
Great. Stop writing in my journal or else I will tell Ma what has lately happened in your love life.
I hate you.
Good. Now that is settled we can back to the topic at hand, why do I need a journal? Ma said it was to record my feelings. Feelings? Only women have to record their petty feelings to make them feel better. I do not need to let my feelings out on paper. I shall face them like a man. With much toughness and gusto. Besides, I have no feelings that I really need to deal with. I am not some little girl who is so emotional so she feels the need to write it all down in a diary. Feh on diaries. I have no problems I need to discuss in them either.
Hmph.
Well, maybe there are is the fact that Lakshmi slapped me today. Twice. It hurt. Damn woman always takes her anger out on me. Am I a human punching bag? Do I have a sign on me that says "Take out all anger on me.". I think not. Well, there was that time Vishnu decided to put that sign on me that said, "Kick me." while I was taking a nap. But, he is just jealous because I am Ma's favorite and he gets second pickings. Yeah, that's it. He is just jealous. . . .Bleh. Being Ma's favorite little boy gets me into way too much trouble. One day, I am going to do something so bad, that Ma will hate me for it and leave me alone. . . ..
On second thought, maybe I will just stick with being the favorite. Angry Ma is never fun. I will just have to deal with being her favorite for the time being. Having a moody, controlling, slightly crazy woman angry at you, is never, ever good. Especially, when that woman is in charge of setting me up with some girl who I am supposed to be married to.
