My crazy religious Mom...
#4425248 - 07/19/05 07:57 PM (18 years, 8 months ago) |
|

I was on the phone with my mom enduring yet another of her 'what are you going to do with your life?' lectures. I expressed my discontent with living in Texas, and told her I was thinking of moving someplace more mellow like Cali.
And she said, "You don't want to move out there, California is full of crazy people..."
my response: "Oh yeah, as opposed to all of the sane rational people out here who believe some magical man who's been dead for 2000 years is going to come out of the sky and take everyone away to Happy Land..."
at which point she got all mad and I hung up so I could go play PS2 games. I seriously have problems with the idea that grown adults still believe in this shit... Sometimes, I feel like I'M the parent and she is the child...
its times like these I'm thankful for my father, who is a taoist and doesnt care that I smoke pot. At least I have one rational parent to talk to... too bad he lives in Florida...

why? Its not like she's sensitive of mine.
I read the entire fucking bible just so I could understand her better. She won't even read the Tao Teh Ching, which is like 50 pages, because she says its a 'devil's book'.

naw. I hate the assholes (many of whom are on my mother's redneck fundamentalist side of the family) who put a bunch of words in my father's mouth trying to control my behavior. I went to my dad himself and he was like: "I dont give a fuck what you do."

dude, I'm in Texas too, though my parents are pretty cool and have good heads on their shoulders. None the less though, I definitely want to leave this fucked up place. But I plan to go way further than cali... I'm gonna skip country as soon as its a feasible. My plan is to lay low until I get my master's degree, then flee the country.

yeah, I've considered looking for work in canada
dude, it would piss my mom's family off soooooo much if I expatriated. It would almost be worth it just for that.

my parents are religous but they aren't extremely religous or anything, they don't push it on me...but I am much older that is why, but...try Oregon or Washington, that is where I would rather be then Utah...I heard California is hella expensive and too much crime, but it depends on the area of California too..

I also have a religious mom AND I also live in Texas!
I'm pretty discontent living here too. Austin's better then DFW area, but still. I'm trying to make the best of things, but my heart longs for trees, moss and mountains.
Where I live now, there's nowhere to roam. I need wilderness to feel complete.

a lot of my friends say I should go to austin, but my problem with that is that its too hot and its still texas. If I'm gonna completely pack up all my shit and move to another city, you can bet it won't be in Texas!
I've actually also considered moving into one of my dad's townhomes in florida, but then I would feel like a total mooch, even if I paid rent. Still, it would be nice to live near the ocean...
