No, of course Mom doesn't care whether I go to the retreat or to the Ren Faire. All my decision.
Bull.
First she says that I should pray about it. Then, in the car on the way to piano, she says that since my "spiritual life" doesn't very many outlets, maybe I should take that into consideration. Nothing so overt as to say that perhaps I might want to go to the retreat. Check the weather for Saturday, she goes so far as to suggest. If it'll be raining, then the choice will be obvious.
Chance of showers, incidentally. But that is so totally not the point.
I'm getting very tired of the whole religion thing. It seems like too much energy to expend on something so non-concrete. Believing seems far too forced. And yet, I don't want to disappoint my parents by completely abandoning the church.
That Mom would likely blame such an abandonment on the fact that none of my friends are Christian helps not at all.
And I am going to go to the Ren Faire. I don't give a damn about the rain, or chance of rain, or whatever. I'll pay them back for the money. I just really don't want to do what she wants me to.
Rebellious teenager much?
