The Secret's in the Silence

My mom craps all over me. I cannot go to Detroit, I cannot pick up Colin. I never want to make a plan again. Well, I never want to look at my mother again.

Highlights of my mother's argument:

"We used to do things together! We used to eat meat together!"
"Snarky?! Is that another of your jew-words?"
(Yeah, 'cause she's totally not mad at me for dating Jeremy.)
"If the help wants to complain about not getting Christmas presents, they should just be happy they're not still picking strawberries two weeks straight and getting molested by the farmer!"
"How DARE my mother try to tell me how to treat my domestics!"
(Yeah, kind of non-sequitur to the point at issue? But priceless.)
-Waking up after 11 is lazy and deceitful
-None of my friends like me- they just hang out with me because I'm willing to dirve them places and do things for them. None of my grandma's friends really like her for the same reason.
-In a related argument: My boy friend does not like me. I am clingy, and no one likes that in a girl.
-I should come to M.U. next year. Regardless of what my grades are. Iowa is really expensive. I’m probably going to have to come home. Live at home. I don’t need the car, not really. She wants to take the car.
