(no subject)
So... it's been like three months since I told my parents about Katie, the three of us, the whole big thing. And when they took me out to dinner... last weekend I think? Maybe the weekend before? For my birthday (finally... Mom's been so busy lately with the store that was the first chance they had really), we didn't even discuss it at all. There was no mention made of either Dan or Katie. Because they told me when they invited me out that they 'still don't know how they're reacting to this'.
Am I completely selfish for wanting something, anything other than dead silence about the subject? I know they're not happy about it. I know they think it's a huge mistake, first of all. I know they don't believe in poly, secondly. I know they (at least my dad, anyway) doesn't believe in bisexuality, thirdly. So I know it's a lot to absorb and think about. But it's been three months. I would think that they'd at least have an inkling of how they're reacting by now.
Which leads me to believe that their reaction is 'we don't like this and we're going to ignore it until we can't feasably ignore it anymore'. I think they think that this is inevitably going to blow up in like six months and we can all 'go back to normal'. I don't think they realize that all three of us are hopeful for a forever thing. I wonder what they're going to do if/when we get to the point of wanting to do a commitment ceremony.
*sigh*
Work is good. I really like working there. Plus apparently soon I get to mostly work with the girl I really like and am eventually (i.e. when we have time) going to start hanging out with. Who is amusingly ignoring all of my 'my girlfriend...' statements because she latched onto the idea that I have a boyfriend first. Hehe. She's not quite noticing that there's only one person I call my girlfriend, and that every other girl is a 'friend'. It'll be funny when she comes over for the first time. ;)
Uhh... work's kinda been most of my life lately. Work and taking care of Katie and Dan, both of whom I got sick. :( But it seems like Katie's slowly getting better... Dan's just getting sick now so we don't know yet how hard it's gonna hit him. I was dizzy, lightheaded, and thrown into coughing fits a hell of a lot for a week. Still getting the coughing fits but nowhere near as often, so hopefully it won't drag on for too much longer.
So... yeah. There's my life right now. How's everyone else doing? :)
