I don't know what the little bitch Dorthy or as I like to call her Dorky was thinking when she said she went through all that trouble to go HOME! It's not that great people!!! Well, at least not mine...
Let's see...It has been almost two weeks now...yet it feels like months! (I hate time!) All I have really done so far is spray paint my bed and make-up table white (which looks gray in the light...damn!) Which once again proves I am DOMESTICALLY DISABLED! Then I put together my WAY complicated armoire (ok, ok, I had help! I had help from my sister's really sweet and nice and helping and family likable BOYFRIEND! She found the love of her life at 16!!! but i'm not jealous....(chirp, chirp)).
And then there was the real kicker...the real excitement of the year (yes, this is how pathetic my life is...) MY COUSIN'S GRADUATION!!! Now, my cousin is very different from many other cousins...I mean she doesn't have a leg growing out of her face or anything...but come to think of it she did graduate from UC Berkley in SOCIAL WORK!!! I mean honestly...she is going to spend her whole life paying off that big loan with her little "world-changing" social working job...poor girl...but what I am trying to say is she is a lesbian...which is great! That is who she is and I'll love her no matter what she likes...haha...well recently she became enganged to this guy (ok, maybe she isn't a lesbian) but there was a catch...he used to be a girl...he is on hormones and had plastic surgery...and my parents (being the "good" chirstians they are, do not approve. So when my parents met poor Owen(good choice in name), it was like (shaking hand) "Hi, I'm Lauren's ________ and I'm judging you!" I felt so sorry for the guy. And when all her little lesbian/gay girl/boy friends were hanging around and goin out with us, and they judged some more... To make a long story short, at first their discomfort and judging was funny (yes I find pleasure in people's uneasiness) BUT after a whole weekend of it...it got old and eventually ANNOYING! Personally, I like the guy and I think my parents did too (they really got along with his parents)and I think that REALLY scared them...they were all drinking and laughing and totally forgot he was who he was...he is just like every other girl...minus boobs and a vagina! He honestly looks like a guy and sounds like a guy. You could have fooled me! (ok, bad example) You could have fooled my parents!
In one fight in the car, I shot them with their own weapon of Chirstianity and had to write it down...WARNING: maybe a little cheesy...BUT RIGHT!:
"I don't judge what these people have done, or what they are going to do, but I do see what they are doing right now, and I ACCEPT what I see and what they show, because WHO AM I TO SAY WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS RIGHT OR WRONG. Thats not my job. My job is to ACCEPT ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN the way they present themselves to me, the way they are. I accept (not to be confused with tolerating) what they are doing, have done, and will do because of this thing GOD HAS DONE FOR ME AND SHOWN ME HOW TO DO...this thing called LOVE. He did not CHOOSE to love me because of my past, present, or even future...AND HE LOVES AND CONTINUES TO SHOW ME THIS LOVE NO MATTER WHAT I AM OR DO... So, I will love, NOT discriminate, NOT judge (which is God's job) but stay clear of an even GREATER SIN...NO LOVE."
Can I get an AMEN!?
But what really makes me upset and even angry, is my parents still refuse to go and participate in the wedding next April. It is like they think they are superior and better than that...but i guess what really upsets me, is the fact that they are my parents...and I feel like if I told them something they didn't approve of, they wouldn't love me anymore or abandon me...which is scary and hurts more than anything. On the bright side of things...we have about 11 months untill the wedding...maybe that will be enough time for them to come around? I hope so...I just don't want them to do anything they might regret...plus...It's in Haiwii!! I'm there and can't wait! So cheers to Owen and Lauren!
And I guess the other thing I've been working on is my health...I don't think a lot of people know how unhealthy I really am...but the truth is I'm at a risk for tons of heart problems and blood problems...so I decided to get back on track with my 24 hr fitness trainer, Tom...but sometimes I make a joke out of the whole thing instead of being as serious as I should be...But on the bright side, I'm doin a TON more physical activity than before..so thats good...So if you're in the area, you can stop by and see my fat ass on the tread mill or on the eliptical at odd hours of the night! I hope Tom doesn't whip my ass to hard...hehe...ooooh (pout)...
And now to go buy the CUTEST DRESS IN THE WORLD!!! (Her name is Mango and she is mago colored of course and red and orage like tropical and has gold sequence!) AMAZING!
LATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
