Have you ever been angry or upset for no apparent reason? Given I am a girl, but unrelated to that, do you ever just want to be angry? I have a stubborn streak that used to flare up when I was younger, if my mom told me to do something, let's say, to get a job, and I knew that I needed to get one, however, since she was the one suggesting it, I wouldn't want to do it, simply because of that. It's one of my silliest character traits in my opinion. Another time when I was younger, my family wanted to go mini-golfing. For some dumb, odd reason, I didn't want to and I was absolutely stubborn about it, silent treatment and all. That's what I do when I'm mad at someone, which happened a lot to my mom and my just older brother. The things that Jon and I used to butt heads about bring back a lot of interesting memories. I just hope that he's grown up over his mission. I finally pinpointed what frustrated me so much about him; his inability to take responsibility. Where I come from, there's something called toll booths, however there has been a system created called i-pass, so that you don't have to stop. My brother didn't have one, however he went through it anyway, several times, therefore ending up with a ticket. He just doesn't think about the consequences of what he does. That's the exact opposite of how I think and make decisions. Whenever I have to make a choice, I think about the consequences of that action, how it will effect me, and other people. Jon, however, didn't seem to take any of that into account at all. When I stay up late and end up tired the next day, I know that it's my own fault, and try not to really complain about it, since it was my decision to go to bed at an indecent hour instead of earlier like I might of liked to or planned.
Anyway, those were just some interesting insights to my life and personality. Maybe I need some new hobbies so that I can be more constructive with my extra time. This blogging is rather effective, I'm learning new things about myself all the time, like what a nerd I am, but wait, I already knew that.

I understand you compleatly!
It's funny that you should mention that "what frustrated [you]" was "his inability to take responsibility." Funny because for a while it bothered me how differently my parents treated my little brother ;), compared to how they treated me; but I got over that when I started to learn that some kids really need different expectations, priviledges, and all that. And while they seemed harder on him than on me, I've come to think he needed that kind of experience, while I grew up in different ways.
