| Today was my last day closing at G&L. Finally. Now I just have three more shifts to get through before I'm done. I find it odd that my shifts were exactly the same tonight as the first day I started. I've never had a 4-Close shift any other time inbetween. My mom and dad are both pissing me off today; they're just realllly annoying. My dad, for one, is his same old overly-curious-about-MY-class-events self. Tonight he watched my senior video, before even I did! Then he asks me if I went scuba diving at the all-night party. "Uhm, dad, no, I didn't." "Well from the video it doesn't look like you did anything because they never show you." "Good." And my mom...where to begin with her? She's being her overly-redundant-Christan self. For example, she wants to buy a christening gown for our cousin. In other words, she's trying to impose her own sense of religion on her sister's kid...without either's consent. Yes, I'm sure my aunt plans on getting Rachel baptized, but when she's READY! If they had gotten her when she was a newborn, it might be different. But to baptize a 2 y/o?? I think they need to wait until they can explain to her what's going on. In addition, my mom's trying to tell my sister who she should go out with because she considers herself a "good judge of character." Well, mom, just because someone "looks nice," doesn't mean they are! She wanted my sister to get to know some 19 y/o manwhore. Uhm, yeah, mom...GREAT choice of character. Back to the religion thing, she feels this need to drill into me the fact that I HAVE to raise my kids (if and when I have them) in the CHURCH. I have to give them the GIFT of the gospel. I have nothing against christianity, but I CAN'T STAND IT when others try to shove their beliefs on you. It's like I want to discover the world for myself, you know? I mean, would you rather believe because someone told you to or because you actually believe?? This shit is getting redundant, like I said before. I see chicago as an escape to these poor family relations, but that won't change the fact that I'm related to these people. I just hope that my parents don't try to rule over me while I'm at college. I have more to say, but I'll save that for tomorrow.... |

Fatman | 08-10-04 3:54pm Not to preach, or meddle, but I dealt with that be finding my own beliefs and sticking to them. You see, I'm not a catholic, really... I just played one in school. If you're ever interested, I have a friend that could open your eyes to a certian little gnome that goes by the name of Bob... |
