"COLOMBIA," not "COLUMBIA"
bwaarrgh >_o I love how almost everyone I know has been engineered to immediately assume the college and not the country. Oh the power of academia ^^;
In any case, saw Shirley and her boss again on saturday, briefly ^^ Gaaah. Her boss thinks Im going to ultimately realize the error of my ways and return to Jesus Christ o_O
"Do you believe in God?"
"Yes"
"Do you believe in Jesus Christ?"
"Yeah...I believe he existed"
"Do you believe he was the son of God?"
"...we're all sons and daughters of God, sir."
"...fine. Do you believe in his teachings?"
"Yes."
"You'll be fine"
">_o"
gah...i suppose his patronizing manner is what gets me though. I'm used ot patronization, but not from the uneducated. Shirley telling him, point blank that with the greatest source of power we have right now, mass commercial space travel was not possible in the next few decades, and him (having never studied any of this) was like "noooooo". I dont really know any of this, but i mena, if someone has studied somethign and you havent, you should probably listen to them. Or at least not tell them they're stupid and lazy >.> Poor shiirrlllleeeeeyy~ ~glomps~
On the bright side, I can apparently go there for free ice cream any time i want xD Because the old man isnt done trying to convert me yet ^^;; Lol, but I'm too nice to be a monetary drain on the poor old man, so I wont utilize that offer ^^;; Though...I so COULD. MWAHHA. Sorry, the promise of free ice cream does things to my BRAIN.
Spent saturday and sunday cleaning the house wiht my dad, in preparation for my mother's return. AGHH. My dad gets so cranky so easily, WARGH. Also fed my brother anime. Namely, Gankutsuou and Princess Tutu. Its funny, because I think he likes Princess Tutu more xD ahaha~ My brother also keps asking me to take pictures of him -- I have one picture, which is so incerdibly *wrong*. I dont know how my brother managed it, but it looks like kiddie porn >_o
My mom came home this morning ^^ ...i suppose i missed her, a little. I do not miss the problems she causes with my father. My father is very emotional, and my mother has the emotional perception of a brick. She doesnt understand how things she does hurt his feelings. And then *I* have to weather the storm of my father's wrath, wtf. So I've been coaching my mother since she's come home: "No, mommy, you're going to let him take us out, and you're going to like it, understand? You're going to be *delighted*"
That, and because she's powerless and stuff, she gets upset really easily; it reminds me of the way men get when they're all "you have to listen to me just cause" and then they're all "YOU DONT RESPECT ME ~RAGE~". My dad threw out some of my brother's clothes that didnt fit, and now my mother is on the other side of the apartment screamign her head off. My dad's due hom pretty soon, it's not going to be pretty. WTF. My dad is going to be so upset that my mother wasnt happier over the clean house, and is, instead angry over a small thing like throwing otu old clothes. ~sigh~ It's damage control time. Probably something along the lines of "Shut the fuck up before you ruin this entire evening with your stupid bitching, and possibly the entire week". And its not even that my dad will be angry, its that he'll get upset and go inot a hail of "no one loves me!!!!~ why dont you love meee~" which, him being a man, he wont really express (even if he did, my mom is stupid) he'll just scream at everyone. Oh YAY.
I wish my mom would listen to reason. I like reasonable people, because they listen. People who just get upset and dont think, I dotn know what to do with them. I kind of wish my mom had stayed in colombia, but i know its wrong to think that. I love my mom, but dealing with her is problems. arrgghh.
A busy week ahead...and I *still* need to organize my dorm, omg >.< My room is a wreck -- albeit a very clean wreck, but a wreck nonetheless. But at least now I have peeps living in the dorms with me, hurrraaayyyz ^^v ~glomp~
