purpleravenhawk rofl That'd be awesome. But it's unlikely to the point of impossibility. My mother is also fundamentalist Christian (although far less aggressive and mean about it), and she believes that divorce, premarital sex, and extramarital sex are punishable by eternal damnation.
So she doesn't believe it's her life and she doesn't need to put it in favor of some god she never met? sweatdrop

Yeah, that's just how she is. The odd thing is, it makes her happy. It makes her feel like she's a part of something bigger and greater. And she's really a nice person. I think if she weren't so brainwashed by the church, she and I would have a lot more in common. But she'd never hurt anyone or be mean to them, so I figure it's okay for her to believe what she wants. Religion is a subject I avoid discussing with her cuz all it would do is make her blood pressure rise. She can't change me, and I can't change her. It took me a long time, but I'm at peace with that now.

Wow. I can't stand people I consider 'dumb' around me at all. sweatdrop If she were my mum, we'd have major fights each day. ^^;
Maybe I should be glad my mum died in labor. She was muslim. sweatdrop

You must not like much of anybody then. Everyone is dumb about something. Human beings are pretty gullible. I figure life's too short to fight over every little thing, so I pick my battles. When I'm feeling like I can't stand the stupidity of the world, I find some way to be alone for a while or find someone understanding that I can rant to. If I were to always avoid everyone who's been dumb about something, I'd never be able to hang around anyone.

Did I mention my social life pretty much died after that s**t with Angelique's parents? sweatdrop
I can't pick my battles. When I get angry, I do and say stuff I don't remember anymore when I'm calm. ._.

Lol, that sounds just like my brother. Pure, blind rage takes over when he loses his temper. After he calms down, he'll tell me that he knows what he did or said was stupid and illogical. But he can never seem to realize that when he's mad. Unfortunately, he doesn't usually have any reason to be angry, so it's all pointless. But with the way he overreacts, I guess it wouldn't matter if he did have a reason. He'd still end up doing something he might regret. Consequences don't enter his mind. xp Sometimes, I think medication might help. I know some people on meds for their anger issues. But mostly, I just think he never learned proper self-control.

xD I know I never learned proper self-control!
My dad was a druggie when he was a teen, so now he's 'all grown up' he has these strange ideas about raising a kid.
Like.
"I'm not going to help, I'm going to be there to listen." So... That's all he does. .__.
He says that's because that's what he wanted his folks to do when he was a teen. But he started that 'treatment' with me when I was... Iunno... For as long as I can remember. ._.

xd Parents never seem to hit a good medium in their parenting techniques. It's either too much of one thing, or too much of the other. My parents tried both at various times. blaugh But I figure if I'm alright with the way I turned out, it couldn't have been all bad. There's plenty of me I don't like. But I don't hate myself. So I'm not gonna worry about my upbringing. xd

lol
I bet that, if my mum would've survived me, I would be so different! I'd probably be either very religious, or very rebellious. surprised
Now, I'm rebellious... But not 100% anti-islam. xD
I'm going to give Marissa all the attention she needs. :3no: If she wants to talk I won't let her talk to me, I'll let ehr talk with me. I think that'll make a big difference.
Plus, she'll have a mum. And at least one other dad. xD

Good plan. 3nodding Just watch that temper. xd Of course, I haven't seen a kid yet that didn't rebel against their parents, so don't be surprised if you see some of that no matter what you do. xd

^^ I don't mind rebelling... I'd just hate it if she'd become one of those emo kids. stare Or one of those "screw the rules I'm gonna be a prostitute" people. Or a complete nerd who doesn't take any time to have fun. Or a breezer-slut. confused yeah... ^^; I worry already, even though I don't even know if she's going to survive being born. gonk

It's natural to worry. 3nodding But imagining what stereotype she's going to be will only make things worse. Very few people are totally one thing and nothing else. I discovered something about myself just a couple of weeks ago that didn't fit the person I thought I was at all. But I've re-educated myself and adjusted. biggrin Have you ever done that?

Yes, I have. sweatdrop I used to hate myself because everybody seemed to hate me, but now I'm like: "So what? I don't like them either. I'm not going to give a s**t about what they say" and that's when I started talking less negative about myself.
^^';

That's good. You can't really be okay until you've stopped hating yourself. 3nodding I used to worry about what everybody thought. Not anymore. Of course, then I worried about what just one person thought, and that turned out to be a mistake, too. sweatdrop Live and learn, right?
Well, I gotta hit the pillow. It's almost 5 AM here, and I got stuff to do in about six hours. xp It was nice talking to you, and thanks for the invite to the guild. Looks like fun so far. whee I'll see you there.
