'Trash'
[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.
Dude, I'm so calling P-C out on Rebecca Blacking us.
Hee. It had to be done!
So if you keep wanting better from them, you are going to keep being let down.
I look forward into changing into my Constant Source of Disappointment shirt after work and dancing with JZ, Matilda, and Emmett.
I WANT MORE FROM THEM.
What Tep said. A useful phrase for me has been "Don't go to the hardware store for milk." Fortunately, I've found other people to give me some of the parental validation I'd been wanting - my dance teacher, my aunt, my friends, Buffistas! You know, at this point, what you will and will not get from your parents. What you can't get from them, you can find elsewhere just by being your awesome self. Let go, again and again, of your expectations and hopes. "My parents should love and accept me" is only going to bring you frustration and more heartache in this case.
Or, in some cases (i.e., mine), "my parents should behave like rational human beings".
A George Washington quote I read just today:
We must bear up against them, and make the best of mankind as they are, since cannot have them as we wish.
I WANT MORE FROM THEM.
And they want different from you. They want you to get married to a very specific kind of girl, preferably one they choose. You want them to accept you without it being an issue.
So, yes, you want more and they want different, but I think it's time for you both to realize you aren't getting and try to work with what IS and not what you WANT. You might find a lot more comfort and family peace.
I have now sent a somewhat testy yet professional email to the HaRpy at MFC, since she has not responded to either of my voicemails.
Now, budgety stuff. Blecch. Luckily, I am watching White Collar at Nora and Tom's (thank you, Nora and Tom!) to make it less onerous.
Meanwhile, I want my new phone to update and activate. I am trying to learn some expectation management myself. And patience.

Awesome, don't delete, I haven't watched it yet. We have the new Leverage too, (which we also haven't watched yet) if you want to cue that up too.
Ooh, this time tomorrow I hope to be filled up with Leverage spoilers. I am excited.

Did you get the day off?
ETA: I just saw in Natter that you did. Yay!
