Come on Baby be my bad boyfriend...
Things are going well,now.
-YESTERDAY-
I get a text message from my brother saying, and I quot, "Tell papa about denise tonight....mom agrees....if you don't I will"
I was in a rage. I called him up in the bathroom and said "How dare you" stuff in the middle "my life" more stuff in the middle and his response is "it doesn't matter" and hangs up. I then call up my mother and leave her basically the same rage on her voicemail. I am stressed to tears and I make my way to mr.maiden. He agreed that i was no way in the wrong. While i was ranting to him mom called my cell and he let me answer and talk to her. conversation and a little bit of raised voices later we finally agree that it is my life and they have no right to try and control it to the extent that they attempted to do so. So now mom is going to back off and trust me with my decisions. I can guarantee you that she isn't liking it one bit but I am at the point now where "Frankly my dear,I don't give a damn." I value all advice and any opinions, as long as they are positive, are fine. but the moment that they started in on telling me what i needed to do pushed me over the edge.
As I was talking to mom on the cell, she informed me that poppa already knew. How? you ask. This is how it went. I talked to laura so I could get my thoughts in order and prepare myself to tell the family. Then laura took it upon herself to inform her father who in turn informed my uncle in california and poppa. I am not sure if he told my uncle in spotsylvania but I wouldn't put it past any of them. I have no privacy in my family. I was going to tell all of them. But now since they pressed my hand poppa felt like he was the last to know even though he was supposed to be the first. That is ridiculous. Not only is that messed up but they led poppa to believe that I was "in love" and "getting serious" or rather "so serious that we might get married". I laughed when i heard that. I have no intentions right now to marry this boy and I quite frankly think that is the farthest thing from his mind as well. I think I presented my case well enough that he knew that I was not being stupid in any way and I knew what I was doing.The way he was reacting was that I was dating a 40 year old or something. Not that serious. I think his words were "You might as well be!" I had to remind him that this was not permanent. I am still 18 and have many boyfriends to come. I am just having fun and being happy with the one I have right now.
My family overreacts. I guess it's because they think I am something that I am not and I know it but they don't know and won't know for many a year. Yes I think that's it. They are thinking that I am still little ol' innocent Lisa with the world on her shoulders and a halo on her head.
HA! wrong-o-.
Oh well I know and am well aware that they are just looking out for me which is why I am not really stressing out about it anymore. Poppa said that he has no desire to meet him and you know...i have no qualms about that at all whatsoever. I am just having fun...when I see him that is.
That's another thing. Darlin' I know you are busy but picking up a phone every once in a while isn't going to kill ya. I spoke to him on monday....saw him last wednesday. That's messed up. Gr. Hopefully I will get to see him this weekend.
Mom is coming to pick me up so we can get lunch and then bring me back. That would be a nice change of pace. And better because today is senior skip day and I have no one to eat lunch with....
I also gave Sara her belated christmas presents. She seemed to enjoy them. She even went as far as to give me a hug which she doesn't like doing.
Gotta vamoose.
