today
today i remembered something from senior year.
i lost my copy of sons and lovers, and so was reading my sister's copy. the page numbers were wrong. on the sunday before the paper was due, i asked my parents if they would take me to the bookstore; i needed a copy with correct references.
i got the whole, "you put off getting the book intentionally. you're just doing this so that you can require help at the last minute, and get confirmation of the fact that we love you" treatment from my dad.
at the time, i thought "wow he's being a really irrational fuckhead."
it never occurred to me to think that he was saying really messed up things that he really shouldnt have been saying.
