hey all....have a question...

has anyone ever had an argument with their mom/dad/both and ended up feeling both enraged and horrible by the resolution? That happened to me tonight.


Okay, I'll bring you up to speed. I play a game called Chaotic (laugh if you must...I really could give a crap less right about now -_-), and there is a tournament coming to Toronto. I want to go with my friend Fox. (just a note, not Imago's mate). His story is full of facts that seem hard to believe, but he's shown me friendship and frankly, I trust him.


with this now in mind, I'll continue. I want to go to said tourney on Saturday...but the folks don't like Fox one bit. They have a "funny feeling" about him. Yeah, like THAT'S damned original; I only heard that about...

EVERY GOD DAMNED TIME YOU TALK ABOUT HIM D<.

Jesus, my folks claim they aren't judgmental, yet a) they judge Fox by only the facts I told them and b) they don't want to meet him. And don't even get me started on their opinions of others. >_< Numerous times have I heard they say mean things about people with weird hair colours, people who act randomly and funny despite their age (like myself -_-), and people who don't fit the general body size of the average Canadian. (I could have said thin and obese, but I didn't want to offend anyone with this rant.)


But, moving along. It's like pulling teeth trying to get them to at least read the info I printed off to show them. Basically, the registration ends at 10 am, so I have to be up at 5:30-6 am to catch the bus to make the connection. Yet, they think I'm as clueless with the busing systems as I am with fixing my computer (aka, I can't fix my computer without help.) This thing is at the Metro Toronto Convention Center you nimrods; I'm pretty sure that the city transit system has a stop nearby. You know, because I'm pretty sure that tourists and visitors would rather walk five blocks to get there instead of taking a bus right to the fucking front door </sarcasm>

Seriously...this argument even erupted into things beyond the topic. For example...my housing for college. My dad told me HIMSELF that he would handle the residence, yet I'm getting yelled at because I'm "not taking initiative" and "not putting college first." If I wasn't putting my education before other things, don't you think I'd have spent all the cash I saved up for my tuition on Transformers or something? She even went as far as to say, "Well, then find your own place to live, Mr. Know-it-All." Oh yeah, screw you too mom. -_-

And on that note....apparently having a collection of Transformers is a bad thing. "You should only collect a few of your favourites and be happy with them." Okay, two things wrong with that statement there mom. Firstly, I'm already doing that; I buy only figures that I like...I don't waste my hard-earned money on figures I won't like to own in the first place. That's like buying beer so it'll add colour to your fridge. Secondly why do you even give a shit? I'm spending money on things that I enjoy and use for stress relief, though I'm sure if I tried to transform one right now, it'd end up in the hallway due to the sheer frustration I'm experiencing.

This has dragged on long enough, but in short, there are days I wish I could just scream....tell them both to stuff it down their throats and let me make a decision...but then of course, I won't be able to even go.




Maybe everyone's right....maybe I need to get some guts....
