Sounds like the same genius docs that when I give my diagnosis, say, that affects children, doesn't it? I mean, if I had lost CP at eighteen, I probably would be thrilled, if confused, but, hello?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I dreamed last night that I was at a doctor's office, and my health insurance was declined. I found out that that was because I'd been fired.
The thing was, I drove my boss's boss home from work yesterday (she had car trouble) and she spent most of the car ride saying they recognized how hard I'd been working and how much they appreciated me.
It was like the anti-life-as-I-know-it dream.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I dreamt I'd been abducted and was being held captive, but then the rest of the dream was me working out using the bathroom and taking a shower in the circumstances. That seemed to be way more concerning to me than the fact that I was being held hostage and was going to be killed in two days. No, no, I was worried about hygiene.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
We're getting married in July, but we're gonna go ahead and get legally married sometime soon so I can get health coverage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
As expected, my sister brought up that my mom was really mad at me. I told her I knew and that we weren't going to talk about it, just let her cool off. She said that both my mom and my dad are acting like they're not talking to me again, so she hopes it blows over.
Geez, all I did was refuse to wear a fucking necklace. I could have done so much worse. So much worse.
Not me, it's them. Not me, it's them. Not me, it's them.

Keep repeating this to yourself. Because it's true.

I sort of expected my dad to yell at me, not join her in the silent treatment. But after October, I can't tell which one is more insane.

P-C your parents are acting like spoiled children and you are behaving like an adult. Keep that in mind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's really confusing when I've been inculcated with The Parents Are Always Right.
Well...they're wrong.
Anyway, I think you should blow your minds by just calling up your Mom next week and act like nothing happened. But if she brings up the necklace or marriage then you just say "I'm not going to talk about that with you," and excuse yourself off the phone.
Because really what you're doing is training them to respect your boundaries.
