I just wasted my afternoon shoveling for my stupid parents... I threw snowballs at matt, hit dad with one, he dumped a shovel full of snow on me, and mom found one of my lighters that I dropped. I collect lighters, I don't smoke, I just find lighters with funny sayings, and I buy them. Plus my friends all smoke, so occasionally, they need a light from me. No big deal. MOM, on the other hand, assumed right off the bat that I smoke. Flips out, in the middle of the driveway. The most GENIUS (sarcasm) thing she said was, "It's terrible to collect lighters!! Shot glasses are okay, but lighters are waste of money!"
Ooooooooook, so...lemme get this straight. It's okay to buy a glass object that can shatter and hurt you...which you fill up with alcohol and drink, and the alchohol kills you much faster than cigarettes... But it's not okay to buy a lighter that I keep solely for humor purposes, and that I myself never use to light up a smoke? And the lighter is somehow worse?!
What...the...fuck... Of course, I have a weapons collection, but that doesn't even come INTO this conversation!! My mother needs her "priorities" straight!!!! Fucking idiot...
Anyway, now that I'm pissed off, I have to go get gas and go to work... Not eager to do that, either. Quite frankly, I want to stay home and make sure that mom doesn't come into my room and snoop around trying to find alcohol, porn, cigarettes, whatever she thinks is in my room. I'm having Matt watch my room, and if she comes in here, as soon as I come home and find out, she's DEAD.
stupid mother; shitty snow; dumb job
