Yay for freedom

Apr 21, 2005 17:20

It just came across to me that I have freedom of speech. I am sure as hell going to use it. My voice is allowed to speak in this nation without any consequence to myself and I know for a fact that a freedom like that should not be supressed.

Women going through menopause annoy me. No matter what you do it is taken the exact opposite way. Let me clue you into these wonderful events happening within a span of about 1 hour.

A desire to have a guy's/girl's night out was put into play. A date was chosen on the calendar for the availability of the Harrison's schedule simply out of the due consideration that they plan far in advance and are frequently unable to bend their schedule due to their commitment to keep their promised times.

This time/event was presented to my parents as a desire to include them in the event in consideration of them taking some time to enjoy a night out. At the time the plan was liked.

Now here is to the hour:

In a calm and considerate way I asked my mother to take her time but when she is available to, to be able to sit down and talk with me about a few things.

The event was brought up again and i spoke about what we would like to do, and why this particular weekend in relation that I will be busy for a very long time with my testing schedule and incapable to harness everyone in during the summer months.

She in return took it as an insult, (how i do not know, simply because it was as calm and polite as I could have been) and ranted about how she never gets a weekend to relax.

I pursued the idea seeing if there was something in particular that she would like finished on the weekend that would be able to help her be available (still in consideration that perhaps mom and dad would enjoy to go out.)

This was declared into an even more angry no and telling me that I'm not being kind in taking into account all that they have done for me (how this is connected to that I do not know) and told me to find other residence for the event instead of our house, which I complied to but it was a must for me to do it this weekend otherwise I would be, again, incapable of doing so.

I called Danny to see if it was okay for us to have it his place and he said he would love to.

I called the Harrisons to let them know about it and said to Mrs. Harrison that my mom said she has been busy and that she'd like a weekend to relax (I did not say it rudely in my mind) and that danny was happy to have us. I also talked with stephanie for a moment before her father got home.

While I was on the phone with Justin Pearson to talk about traveling over to Tampa on saturday, my mom poked her head in and asked to speak to Mrs. Harrison when I am done.

I came out and asked her if she would like me to get Mrs. Harrison on the line for her and she asked "is she not there" which made me assume that she thought I was speaking with Stephanie. I said I was currently speaking to Justin but I'd be glad to call them for her, and she nodded her head.

I called, gave her the phone, in which she replied it was busy and put it on the charger.

Thinking it a courtesy to get ahold of them still (she did ask me to earlier as I had written) I called until they were no longer busy in which I said to Mrs. Harrison that my mother would like to speak with her.

This resulted in my Mom yelling how she doesn't need to be controlled by a teenager and micromanaged as if she cannot dial a number (again... this is the EXACT record of the events I have not removed anything from the picture... so if you can see where it came from please post)

It is my parents anniversary today and my dad was cheerful enough and I asked if everything was okay when my mom came out and she said yes and so I told her I already had plans changed for friday at dannys.

She continued into telling my dad how ungrateful and uncourteous I was. She also said I was being inconsiderate by closing my door when talking on the phone (as if she doesn't do it herself when things are noisy in the house) and said I was disrespectful in the way i told mrs. harrison that she was busy. She said that I should have said that my mother has been doing so many wonderful things for me (literal quote) and that she would like to have this weekend to take a break and that we would do it some other time.

I continued to try to explain how I hadn't been disrespectful and my dad attempted to diffuse the situation as best as possible.

It ended with me being the bad guy in this.

Oh well. My dad just recently came in to give me a hug and tell me that its going to be okay (in his winking way of telling me she is in a mood) and that I'll have fun at dannys anyhow.

Oh, one more inclusion. My mom said this: "Mrs. Harrison and I have different schedules. She does not work and so her schedule shouldn't be the one we work around." I attempted to defend that by saying how busy she is with everything... of course that just continued into "busy but not working" and so nevertheless I am insulted by that.

Theres my freedom of speech, and honestly, of press.
