Conversations with My Mother (AKA Kill Me NOW)

Jun 26, 2008 13:48

So, my mother calls to chew me out for losing some damn safety deposit box key she gave me, get this, WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN. And she's all kinds of disappointed in me because I don't know where it is. And it's going to cost her money to replace it...And will I go look for it...? Right NOWWHILESHE'S ON THE PHONE??? OiOiOi!

Mom, you gave me that key ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know that feeling. When you're baptized, your parents and godparents are made responsible for the state of your immortal soul, you know? So, my stepmother, who WAS NOT THERE when I was baptized, didn't even meet my father until 2 years later (and let's forget the fact that Dad's an atheist, Mom and godparents are all socialist ex-hippies who don't believe in the Church) - Has decided at some point that marrying my father made my immportal soul her business. I keep telling her that I believe in God(dess), not organized worship, and my immortal soul is taken care of according to those beliefs - maybe she should work on the Godless-one, and leave me out of it.

That never works.

Yikes...they just can't leave it alone. I know my mother has been taught by her church (which she just joined out of the blue about four years ago) that she won't see me in the afterlife or some crap like that so she's on this mission to convert, convert, or whatever. It just gives me a headache in the worst way. I'd rather not get stuck with her in the afterlife anyway! Sounds like a great plan!

Not really interested in your collection of praying Hummels, Mom!

I shouldn't have laughed, but I did, really hard ;)

But I'm sorry for your frustration, I feel you, I have family like that and it can be MADDENING. Seriously, go grab that chocolate. Go watch some porn and take the Lord's name in vain and listen to some devil's music, too. ;)

I'm working on my second chunk of sugar-free chocolate and translating hot gay manga. Ah...I feel closer to a heavenly body already.

Hummels. *shudders*

Aren't families grand?

Not to promote alcoholism or anything, but enjoying a nice glass of wine as I read this did enhance the experience. ;)

And I totally, totally commiserate!

LOL! Thanks for drinking FOR me. I think it helped. A little. ;0P

My grandmother keeps trying to convert me.

It's weird.

euro_fics June 27 2008, 03:04:51 UTC

It IS very weird. And annoying! Hey I've been off in yaoiland and haven't heard from ya in ages. How's the Downey fetish coming along?? I was in AZ a lot of last month did you get to see Fur????

yukitheawesome June 27 2008, 04:24:18 UTC

It's going swimmingly, thank you. XD

And YES, I did get to see it! :D
Commence squeeing.

The road to hell is paved with wriggling Japanese boys, and I am on my way as soon as possible, care to join me? ;D

euro_fics June 27 2008, 03:55:31 UTC

I'm so on that road, honey.So ON IT! Just emailed my Kyoto buddy some lines of yaoi I couldn't make anything but word soup out of. We've gotten to that point in the language exchage relationship where's he's offered to feed my addiction by aiding with the translation. He'll rue the day, I tell ya! Rue it!! LOL!
