Mom should just not try to set me up. Period. There's a realm where parents should keep their choosing and deciphering to themselves. It's no that the choices are bad really, just sooo better suited to them as a relative than to me with a romantic interest. The stereotypical dialogue (from a few days ago):
"She's really nice Micah."
"I'm sure she is, and I think she's pretty too, but we have absolutely nothing in common."
"Bu she loves to sew, and is great at ballet and she loves kids."
(sarcasm) "Ooooh so we really do have a lot in common."
"Don't you think I know what's good for you?"
"I'm sure you do, we just have different tastes and ..."
"Well, she's coming over for dinner on Monday and you have to take her and her sister out to a movie on Tuesday."
"ummm... why, exactly do I have to do that?"
"You don't want them at our house all by themselves do you?"
*exasperation factor 10* "Ok."
Hmm and if I haven't heard this toooooo many times before. And then what else. Sunday night I go to night church at the other church to check up on friends, and then Mom gets pissed cause she thinks I'm going to see a particular girl. COME ON! AAARRRGGHH I did love Amanda for 4 years, but she never loved me back and I already freaking told you I'm over her. Gosh I've never had someone I love return my affections, and mom's gonna try as hard as she can to set me up with a girl I know nothing about with totally different interests ("Oh but Micah, she wants to be a homeschooling mom") and Dad defends her choices. Freakin give it up!! The fact that I do long for someone special makes this game even worse. There is nothing wrong with these people, and their interests are fine. It's just that... yeah.
On a happier note, I got promoted at work to full time research. HECK yeah!!! Interesting work and more important. Bad to the Bone. Mmmm, I'm thinking sushi for lunch today. It's such a purifying food. Half day at work today, I gots to getme some new shoes and get my watch fixed and go to the doctor for my arm.
I think I'll buy Grave of the Fireflies today. That was so good. So sad :(
poem for today:
Rice the very soul
Seaweed in a roll
Add some veggies
Add some fishies
Soy sauce soy sauce
Don't spoil the fish
Cooking ruins the dish
You can always see me
Eating good sashimi
Wasabi wasabi
Chopsticks are the scepters
Plate of round tempters
And fish on beds of rice
I can't wait to eat it so nice
Pickled ginger pickled ginger
ohboyohboy
