Ugh. I said 'Fucking Goddamn' in my house (i.e. My Parent's House) and you know what it gets me? A stern reprimand and a harsh look. My parents aren't the saintly christian types nor are they the lenient types, but they will lecture me on the ugliness and how aa word like that shouldn't even be included in my vocabulary. Normality at its best, I suppose? And it's annoying, because honestly, they use them, I use them, we use them, and really, I had a semi-good reason. It went like this: I walk into kitchen. Mom walk into kitchen. I take out spoon for pudding. Mom kicks card board, telling me to go recycle it. I stick spoon in pudding and raise eye brow. She kicks again for emphasis. I put pudding down and sadly misjudged exactly how well the spoon was lodged into the chocolate jello and it fell. Spraying mushy globs over my shirt and floor. And, that was where I exercised my right to free speech and the use of expletives. Did not go well.
Basically, mom went into shocked/angered mode and dad into a frenzied 'that word is ugly and stupid and this is my house...' you know the drill. We ended up getting into an argument about how the word 'fuck' should be used and why it was an ugly word. I, really and truly, think it's not a word that should be used around an up-tight society, but rather just a word. I know the meanings it has and have had it said to myself with both connotations implied, but it's never actually ruffled my feathers. Like the, 'Stick's and stones may break your bones, but words can never hurt you,' spiel, I guess. Although, I don't usually think like that. My blood's all riled up and hate the fact that just because I'm a teen, I can't use a word that I generally don't use unless I a) stubbed my toe, b) broken something of importance (mother's glass), c) anything I don't like occurs, d) trying to distract my mind... Ok, maybe not 'generally don't use', but I don't direct that word at somebody I like and well, they're just words. That in different context can mean either sexual intercourse or 'I wanna bash your head in, bitch,' so, well maybe they're not the type of words you could use in everyday conversation, but they're words nonetheless.
Gah. I want a beer. Non-alcoholic of course. I wonder how that would taste, anyway?
Can I just use the excuse that teenagers are teenagers and that we'll eventually grow out of this phase and become behaved citizens? No? I didn't think so.
