Oh look, more issues with my mother.

Dear Mom,

I recognize that you're trying to protect me. I understand why you've been drilling this into me since I was sixteen. I know that some people have betrayed you in the past and you don't want that for me.

My Mother still doesn't really believe people on the Internet actually exist. She calls you people my "imaginary friends".
What she doesn't know is that my "imaginary friends" know more about me than she or my sister or my RL friends ever will, and that I would kill to meet each and every one of you (some more than others, of course, especially those who stuck by me through some really bad moments).
Don't let your Mother ruin it for you.

It's frustrating, though, having to edit what comes out of my mouth. wanttobeatree wrote a poem about writing poems, and I sort of gaped at my screen for a while, and my mom asked, "What're you looking at?" and I said, "My friend wrote a poem." And she said, "Which friend?"

So I had to fumble around unconvincingly for the name of one of my actual friends that she's heard about before. Because she just wouldn't understand.

I know.
When I went to meet izazov, my Mom asked what we talked about besides "that actor" (I simplified for her, okay?), and what was I supposed to say? Slash? Heh.
Yeah, it's weird.

LOL WE WERE DISCUSSING THE FINER POINTS OF HOW TO COME OUT TO YOUR DAD ABOUT AN INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP AND ALSO OUR FAVORITE KINKS I MEAN WHAT WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER ALMOST 20 MINUTES LOLOLOL

LOLOLOL Exactly.
So I went with: "Oh you know, common interests." And she asked what those were. I had to resort to: "You wouldn't understand."
Reassuring much? LMAO
