Funny how they don't return the favor of defending you when you're wrong (Assuming you were), hrm?
Yeah, I could have avoided the whole TBS fiasco to begin with. But you know, I was irrational and causing people to walk on eggshells and such. :roll:
The best part was when my stepfather got into talking about my involvement with wicca, which he referred to as "black magic". He said, "I was in the car with you when we drove up, remember? You said you were going to put a spell on all of us."
That made me laugh my ass off! Since when did my parents start believing in witchcraft to the point that a "spell" I put on them would have any effect, or make them nervous? (Trust me, I tried one months before to keep my parents from sending me away. It was obviously a colossal failure.) I was the worst witch in the world! Dumbledore would have had my wand for sure. Just goes to show, put a witch in the family, and everyone else starts getting superstitious.
The other funny part was when the conversation turned to the friends I had before I went up there. They said "You were hanging with a real strange and creepy bunch." And I said "Yeah! They were great! Awesome group of folks." Seriously, they were. I wonder what they are all up to now?
They of course, brought up the suicides. I said, "Mom, I tried to kill myself in September. You sent me away in July. Was I dead yet?" She acknowledged that, at least, and said "So you got it out of your system." I said "Yes, obviously. I realized that trying to kill yourself was generally a bad idea."
She was also shocked to hear that I never did drugs in high school. She said "Wait, you never smoked pot?" I said "Nope, never did it. Not once."
Not like I really felt like getting involved on a point by point basis in my conversation with them, but that's where it ended up. And you know me... Mr. Bad Boundaries.
Apparently, the impression I got from all of this was that my parents, all four of them, were absolutely terrified of me. This also makes me laugh, because I was the biggest pussy in the world, and still am. Yes, I did have a nuclear temper, but Jesus Christ guys, grow a pair.
