I feel 16 again...

[spacebug]

I'm in a better mood now, after having my "yay, I'm awake at 10 on my day off" mood completely ruined by stupid crap- I have to go get my measurements taken as I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding this summer. This phone conversation with my mom about where to go and what to do degenerated into a pseudo argument about my dreds and how much my head is shaved and how she doesn't like it and how much she hates my boots and could I please dye my hair a natural color for the wedding and..and... and I wasn't at all up to parental scrutiny at that hour. I bitchily requested that we save all scrutiny from her or any of the rest of my family about the way I look until the wedding actually draws near. Ugh. The kicker is that I'm pretty damn sure my cousin doesn't care, and I wouldn't have quite as much of an issue about it if I heard it from her. It just sucks to be reminded that my mom still gets embarrassed about me being me. I don't feel some insatiable need for attention or rebellion (I'm in my mid-twenties. I'm over it), I just happen to like purple hair. I don't feel like I'm that much of a freak, but I guess that's in part 'cause I do a good job of surrounding myself with people like me.

If I ever get married, the wedding party's gonna be somewhere around what I like. And they're all eating that freaky vegetarian food that I haven't given up yet, too. Nyeh.

How annoying!

Dawn's wedding had the best catered dinner of any I'd ever attended: all vegetarian Indian food. Ignoring for the moment that I will never have a wedding: if I ever had a wedding I'd do the same thing.

It's your cousin's wedding. She, presumably, wants you to be a bridesmaid. If she didn't like the way you looked, or didn't like your boots and so on, she probably would have not wanted you to be in her party.
It's a shame your mother is so concerned about the color and manner of your hair. Maybe someday she'll grow up and judge you by your character and not your appearance. (No offense meant to your mother, of course; she did let my crappy-punk band play in her suburban house's basement. ;)

the post above is correct

it's not your mom's wedding. i've heard you say other things about your mom's opinions of how you're so freaky. you are a big freaky freak, you freak.

FREAK!

if she gives you anymore beef tell her she better watch it or i'll have to come over there and tell her how rad i think you are.
