My Mother and Other Amusing Things

Sometimes, I think my mother and I come from different planets. We just don't understand each other, though she does absorb more than I gave her credit for. I'll say that.

She's mad at me for not being more mad at James. I was mad, I moved on. He's not worth that much of my thoughts. But she doesn't understnad why I'm still civil to him. We grew up toghete,r one failed relationship doesn't change that. Besides, it's not in my nature to be mean to anyone. Well, not usually.

She has a much more explosive temper than I do and she holds a grudge. I don't think she's ever really understood my way of doing things. She's never understood much about me, not like my father did...

But can't dwell on things you change. So, let's see... She asked me today if I was pregnant. I was quite horrifed. Now wouldn't that be a disaster? She was quite relieved to here that I wasn't. Thank God.

She also told me that a friend's girlfriend referred to me as 'so clean', meaning that I didn't do drugs or such, which is really odd since I've smoked a joint in her kitchen with her boyfriend when she was right there. Whatever. It's like the time someone said to me "you don't drink, do you?" When I had a drink in my hand. Yeah, some people really aren't that observat.

But, I guess in Castleton terms, I've alwyas been a little bit of a goody-goody. And besides, I stayed away from certian crowds for a long time, so... I guess I can understand why people have a certain image of me. It's just kind of amusing.
