Empathy No. 059

09/26/02, Diary entry 455

How hard is it find someone who can sing? There are three people in Gary's band - how can THREE PEOPLE not know ANYONE who can sing at all? They were supposed to do auditions this weekend but they can't even find anyone TO audition because most of them can't sing for shit, and the ones who maybe kinda sorta can aren't interested. They have like four months to find someone if they want to play the next homecoming and I'm not sure they're going to pull that off.

God, even in my own diary I'm avoiding the tough topics. Roderick came back later than usual from Carlie's house and he was acting stranger than normal. I guess he was talking to Dad (as much as he ever does) and to Jason, but he couldn't look at his Mom and he didn't look at me too much either. So now I KNOW she's doing him. Great. I'd ask Carlie about it but she's not talking to me either.

Yeah, I know, I shouldn't have said those things to her. I burned that bridge good, but I feel like I was justified. No one's a saint here, but what was I supposed to do? Carlie says this isn't my business but it IS.

I won't tell Ellie - but who am I kidding? Roderick is so damaged that she can probably get it out of him real easy.
