I just got back from the abyss my mother's house. So sorry for not being up to date with my mail just yet- I still have one more class and a staff meeting, but at least I'm not on duty tonight. LM- I'll get back to you on the Sappho site tonight-ish. My room is absolutely a mess. It also needs to be cleaned tonight.
So, I was barely home for 24 hours, ten of which I spent sleeping/napping (out of necessity), and I still had the urge to saw my own hand off. My mother needs to understand that I'm 19, and therefore I have no need to have the rest of my life mapped out. I may not know exactly which job I want, but I have it narrowed down to two fields, and I'm sorry if I just have no desire to go into the medical field... get over it. Meanwhile, the younger brother giddily licks her hand with "I'm gonna be an anasthesiologist and make 125 grand a year."
And then, to add insult, she implied that the reason I don't know exactly what I want to do with my life yet is because I either have no drive or am too lazy to work. She said this to her straight-A student who's been working steadily since age 15. My mother is a fucking moron at times. The only fucking reason she knew what she wanted to do with herlife at age 19 is becasue she had no other options. She didn't have what it takes to be a doctor or a writer or a musician. She had her life set for her by the time she graduated high school. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, okay?
For her, it's all about money, money, money. She hates that I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and stuck in a job I hate. She thinks that life is suffering, and that if you're lucky, you can be happy through side hobbies. Not to be snotty, but I'm good at a lot of things. If I can support myself via one of those things, why shouldn't I? And quite frankly, this sounds like a load of bullshit from a woman who works less than 20 hours a week.
My mother. Grr. Woman has grammar like George W.'s and is about as open-minded as a fundie but insists that she is right about everything. And of course, if she wouldn't personally do a thing (get a tattoo, for instance), it is therefore 'disgusting.' Sorry. I find your ignorance disgusting, mom.
I love my mom. I really do. But sometimes, she just needs to get over herself.
Oi. So. How about class?
