whining complaints of a yuppie daughter
so i just got off my weekly phone conversation with my parents and i am ENRAGED. i got caught on camera speeding down mulberry, which i knew and warned them about in advance, and they got the ticket in the mail this week, with the pictures of me driving, and all dad can talk about is that my earrings are ugly. ill have you know that those earrings are FABULOUS. and i offered to contest the ticket or pay for it from my savings or christmas money or something but then they were all "no honey we can take care of it cause we support you through everything and we can make fun of you for this some more down the line because we OWN YOU." *rrrrrrgh*
sometimes i can go for weeks on end under the delusion that i am an independent person, but i am not. not at all. they DO own me. they dont even let me PRETEND to be an independent person because then they wouldnt be able to nag me or belittle me or put epic guilt trips on me any more for shitty mistakes like fucking speeding tickets that are only 40 bucks anyway and i can totally afford.
WHEN I DOMINATE THE MCAT AND GET INTO WHATEVER MED SCHOOL I WANT AND WHEN I AM AN OBSCENELY RICH DOCTOR AND THEY ARE OLD FOGIES, I WILL PUT THEM INTO THE BEST NURSING HOME THAT EVER EXISTED AND I WONT LET THEM PAY FOR ANY OF IT AND I WILL TELL THEM "DONT WORRY GUYS, ILL SUPPORT YOU SINCE YOU CANT DO IT YOURSELVES BECAUSE *I WONT EVEN LET YOU* SUPPORT YOURSELVES! HEY PARENTS - HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING CONTROLLED??????"
revenge will be mine.
(ps i know this all sounds very inane or trite or excessively whiny or whatever for no reason and i know that bebies are starving all around the world and there are bigger problems out there but INDULGE ME)
and the worst part is that this is really not that huge a deal. im actually pretty lucky that my parents support me through school and pay for my car and my rent and my speeding tickets. and i know how lucky i am that they do this, and yet i wish they wouldnt. ive been hacking away at the umbilical for YEARS but with a knife *they* made sure was dull and ineffectual, because i cant afford my own knives. EVIL CIRCLE OF PARENTAL ENTRAPMENT.
graduation cant get here soon enough...
