No updates for about 21409109072387982 years. Time for one........right..........now.
I told my dad about me quitting my job yesterday. Did not go so well, obviously, but turned out not even close to what I thought he would do. I thought that he would just yell like crazy, but instead he stayed really quiet which was a hell of a lot worse. He was completely justified in everything that he said, until he practically labeled both myself and Palmer as liars. He was obviously hinting that he thinks that Palmer may have a bad influence on me. That was seriously crossing the line in my books - first of all, it is between my dad and I only, and second, Palmer had nothing to do with it. Yes, he listened to me when I was talking about quitting and gave me some advice, but he didn't make me lie to my dad.
Then my dad went on to tell me that our trust is broken and he will take awhile before he can trust me with anything ever again. He also said that (according to his "Palmer and I are liars" theory) he can never know if where we're going together is actually true and cannot trust either of us. Great. So now my dad doesn't trust me and dislikes Palmer even more. First, he was "taking his little girl away from him". Umm, yeah, I'm 18, I may date people...but I'll still always be "his little girl".
I guess all I can do now is follow the rules to the smallest detail, find a new job fast, and not lie about anything at all - which isn't too hard for me in the first place since I'm not a liar. In perspective, lying about when I quit my job is such a stupid thing to get angry over. It's not like I'm a druglord or something. Being too good your whole life can really have its downsides because if you do the littlest thing someone will have something to say about it.
