Let the Countdown Begin

I'm still convinced Infinity doesn't really exist.

But that's a whole n0th3r b4ll game.


So today has been pretty good in a nutshell. My mom is still feeling neglected like normal - by me of course. So I don't like hanging out with my folks 100% of the time - blame me? No. I don't blame anything but personal preference. I do not think I can be lax self around them, so I am not around them all that much. I feel comfy around a select few. And again, I can count those people on one hand. Bad? No, not bad, safe. Some say that's antisocial - but who the fuck cares in my book? Certainly not them[1], b/c they aren't me, and are easily deconstructed three times faster than I.

I called to tell her that I have 8 classes left and she goes on bitching about how I should still be at home etc - which is bullshit, b/c she wanted me out a long time ago. I'm not even going to state that she is wrong, or right, but I do not regret doing anything I have done so far. Anyways, she is my mom, and I should respect her a bit more - but some bone in my body says shes weak - for some odd reason I get the urge not respect that. Hmm. (Note: Must build body for ensuing fightses.) Anyways, so I get into a big argument with her about how she thinks I'm brainwashed and confused, and how I think prayer is not 100% needed to feel good[2], etc. I go off and finally get to her point. She thinks I was close to her, but in reality I was about as close to her as a I am to land mines. I offered a shoulder here and there - and made her feel secure, but any Joe who watches males can do that - seriously. Anyways, she finally sees tiny bits and pieces of the real me, and how I actually feel concerning them and BAM she is "oh so astonished". Its not like I haven't told her off about the same shit three dozen times before. But hey, what you gonna do about your family? Closeness doesn't change your genetics, and she cannot fathom why I do not like her all that much. She is incredibly closed-minded, and seeing things in multiple lights is ...well, difficult to say the least. In her defense though, she never knew much of anything else. She had to basically do what she was told, or suffer male wrath. (Its amazing she even wants me in college!) Instead of laying waste all in her path (family included) she decided to bow to their will and whim. That pisses me off. I realize I would not respect women the way I do, see humans the way I do, or for that matter be a damned to have a dichotomous personality, or rely so heavily on anger and vengence to guide me (in certain situations)...if she hadn't given in. No regrets though, I got my slice of heaven so....

So, I'll keep on marching despite my distance, b/c that's what she should have done.

UPDATE ON THE FRIENDLY NEKO SABRE:
============================
OWNER FOUND. 10 year old girl claiming she lost her cat a few days back when she went on vacation. Described it down to its fuzzy nuts. Girl crying and excited to see her pet. Handed pet to her, gave her litter box (uncleaned ! w00t!), and pet goods. Said bye, closed door, end of story.

Note: Keep your animals inside folks. I do not mind rescuing them, or cuddling them, but for pete's sake don't risk them being made into road waffles!

Yes, the cat's visit went much like this...it pretty much had full run of my computer too...

Good times!

A truly good link!

Bascially its something that everyone should peep at if you have geek kids, or are a geek and think you will have geek children.
