At last I have found someone that agrees with me. I don't really expect anyone besides Chelsea to understand what I mean, so it doesn't really matter, I guess. When my mom went to China, she also told me to stay home and "guard the house" from all the bad guys and robbers and whatever else. And I was just like, "Well, I have better things to do than just sit around and wait for the slim possibility of thieves breaking in and maybe killing me, so no."
Hey, and I also don't really know my parents either, or actually, come to think of it, I don't really know my family. I don't know when my sister is finishing school down in Alabama, I can't seem to remember her ever being in my life for the past few years. I don't know what's going on in Maggie's life because we never talk about that sort of thing. My dad has never really been a part of my life, so I can't say that I know all that much about him at all. And my mom... well, there is a lot I don't share with her simply because I know I'll just be met with resistance, rather that support or acceptance (I know I said this all before). I read a line in a book that said something like, "More and more, I find we are just strangers that happen to live together than a family". I think it describes my situation (and for some other people too) quite well.
Yeah, I've tried to understand why my mom is the way she is, but maybe it's just who she is. Maybe she's just the kind of person who doesn't really like gay people and probably won't. You (Ann) told me to listen to myself when I talk to her. Well, I think I would try my best to understand different situations and scenarios but my mom doesn't even do that. Am I supposed to be sympathetic for my mom's bad reaction when I even remotely mention something gay? I don't think I'm the one who is wrong in this situation. And yeah, Ann, you seem to be a lot closer to your parents than the rest of us, being an only child and all.
I guess I can try and see Lily's point of view on the whole family thing. Yes, they will always be there, but sometimes there are better people to confide in than them. Sure, you can lose friends but you can't lose family because the same blood runs in our veins, but we could always become estranged or cut ties with them, which is basically just letting them out of your life.
Doped up crack dealer that bombs civilians... that was funny. I can imagine me doing that though... is that creepy? Sigh...
I can't think of anything else to say so I'm going to end it here. Coca-cola tastes really bad and it burns my throat. I don't know why people still like it. Blah, blah, blah.... reneg isn't a word Ann. neither is renig. Haha
