Oh look who is controversial now!

In the land of overpowering religion and small-minded people I have now brought forth a great scandal -gasps echo-. Actually not so much a great scandal but to a certain person's family I think I did the equivelent of show a girls gone wild to a 2 year old. Lmao, for secrecy the girl in this story shall be called "Gertrude". Why? Because that is a fricken awesome name!

Ok so for English we have to write a long paper on a controversial topic. Gertrude had already reserved like way before anti-abortion. And she is a really religious girl, and takes anything her parents say as the gospel pretty much. She is one of those people that is pretty outspoken about her beliefs and thinks everyone should automatically agree. So I already knew she would take that. But I am so sick of cram in down your throat religious morals and that crap, so I picked pro-choice abortion. I really wanted to show her up because I knew we would have to present it infront of people so that kinda fueled me I guess.

Later in math Gertrude came up to me and was like nice topic, I dunno if she was trying to be bitchy or if she was just noting some irony or something. So I just kind of shrugged and let it be.

So now tonight in church we actually ended up sitting next to her and her dad. In our church there is two times when you go and shake hands of those around you. Each time he purposely (and obviously) made himself busy on theother side so his back was to my mom when she offered out her hand. And now we are pretty convinced that it is because Gertrude came home and said I was pro-choice (probably said pro-abortion which I am NOT). And being small mindfed like they are they probably assumed my parents felt the same way, so I have a feeling we will be getting the cold shoulder for a while.

And the irony of this whole situation is, they aren't. Whether or not is hould matter my parents are no pro-choice they are actually anti-abortion.

Ok I know I am probably paranoid but tonight we went to church and when I went in I got a lot of stares, and I was like what the crap I have lived here for nine years by now you should get over the fact I am abnormaly tall for my age. Now I am wondering if it really wasn't the church gossip mill. Because after all my mom is a council member, they might try to go kick her off -falls off laughing- Which would actually make my moms day she is a pushover and ends up in a ton of church activies and stuff she dosen't want to be in.
