I’m glad to know your right there to support me

Ugh… my mom is an official looser. She’s in over-protective mother teacher mode again and I can’t seem to get her out of it. I’m not going to use any kind of symbology in here because I’m just that frustrated. Well, tonight Katie is coming over for a little while to watch Survivor and then we’re heading off bowling. My brother was in the shower and stuff and she told him that he shouldn’t put his pj’s on because that would be not decent. PJ’s sure, I could see where that was coming from. But for my brother they minus well be clothes.. it’s a t-shirt and sweatpants.. the same stuff he wears to school. But that’s not what bothered me, just an introductory example.

My mom called me to the stairs to go “talk”. This is never good. She said, “You and Katie planning on watching Survivor, right?” “Yes I replied” she then went on “Well, you two can watch it downstairs because it’s not appropriate for you to watch it together on your bed or in your room” At this point I was officially mad. So I asked “Do you not trust me or something, I’m not stupid mom” and she’s goes “No, not at all; it’s just inappropriate for you two to lie together watching TV.” I’m kinda furious at this point, not because she won’t let us lie on my bed and watch tv (it’s a small tv anyways so we probably would have ended up downstairs anyways) but because she doesn’t trust me. This isn’t the first time either she’s doubted my sound judgement or what have you. Mom, I’m a boy scout. I have two part time jobs working in a professional setting, doing skilled labor and that doesn’t mean I’m a “sandwich artist”. In my spare time I work on the computer and have consulted for over 100 projects around the world in coutries like Japan, China, Russia, Netherlands, and mostly UK. I don’t and never have drank alcohol, smoked, or done drugs. I’m well respected in the school community and teachers say hi to me almost as much as students. Do you not understand that?? Well, I’m gonna find a way to fight somehow, because my mom has not learned anything in the past 17 years. Thanks mom, I appreciate the trust! Ok, gotta run…. I’ll update you later..

Well, reading that over… I just got home… and I was probably a little harsh on her. It’s not the fact that we would have lied on my bed because we would be downstairs anyways, but it’s the principle of the matter. I know they don’t trust me, because I also got 2 voicemails telling me my curfew is/was midnight, they were sent within 15 minutes of each other from the same phone but different parents. Ugh, I also don’t like it when they have Kevin do their dirty work for them, like he’ll call me asking where I am and then “report back” to them.

Don’t get me started on my JOL and car thing… that’s a whole other cap of steam.

I’m gonna head to bed now, welcome to tomorrow!

What a day for a day dream..

Well, I figure all of you dedicated readers out there are looking for an update (I know who you all are anyways so you could just ask for an update personally or via email or something). So yeah, last night I tried something new and had fun. At first I wasn’t sure how it would go because getting in was like getting into a castle or something, very specific instructions to get in and the “moat” still attacked. Part of me feels bad that people have to get attacked by the “moat” in a self sacrificing kind of way, ok… alll of me feels that way. Hopefully sometime (sooner rather than later) the “moat” will realize I’m not out to attack it or anything, I don’t have anything against it. If letting it attack me for a day or something would save everyone the trouble I’d definately support that plan, but I’ve been advised to find another plan.

Ugh, mom is home. Sometimes I really don’t like having a teacher for a mom because she gets all the same vacations off and stuff, and it’s not like she could just sit downstairs and let us relax; she likes to make us help her out and stuff… but that’s life…

I’m working on a list of things I “owe” people, if I “owe” you anything, please drop me a note. I plan on making a notecard or something to carry around in my wallet so when I go places, I can check if I need to pick.

Mom’s home.. she just yelled at me to get to my neighbors house to fix their computer. Apparently I’m “wasting away another vacation”. Isn’t that what your suppose to do, take a break from working and stuff? Well, as a teacher I guess you never suppose to take a break. Grr to her…

I’ll write more when I get home… peace out for now…

I was wrong (again)!

For those of you who listened to me today when I told you Dan was going home, I’m glad I was wrong. Why, because I want to have a good reason to keep watching the show. While people told me to stop reading the spoilers, I’m not going to stop… I’ll just stop sharing them so publically. So, I apologize if you listened to me and I was wrong; but I was prepared for the worst.
