i can't even believe it
i called my grandparents today to ask them if it was alright if austin and i came down for labor day. it seems like it's just fine, as long as he takes all of his piercings out and rips the skin from his body. god it makes me so mad that i have to answer 5 million questions about why he looks the way he looks. WHY THE FUCK DOES IT MATTER? i started crying and told my mom we weren't coming anymore, and then she got mad at me.
i understand that the way austin looks, hell, the way i look, is different for older people. they don't understand the aesthetic qualitites of the things we do to our bodies, they just see freaks. but i expected more from my own family. i wanted to bring austin there to meet them so they can meet the man i'm going to spend the rest of my life with. why can't they just follow their own advice that they taught me and not judge people by the way they look. if they would just take 5 minutes to talk to him they would see that he's the most amazing person they will ever meet.
i'm pissed.
