urgh this stupid overblown crap about jenny's present. i hate dealing with other peoples parents! when its just kids, everything is easier and less restricted and we dont have so many hangups about propreity and impropriety...and then if someone doesnt like the ideas you have or the choices youre making she can just say so and you can discuss it on equal footing and then tell everyone else (if its a situation like in this case where theres one person (me!) who's serving as the link connecting everyone (so she cant freaking agree or disagree with anyone until shes called someone else (and she has to try to defend what she sees as everyone's goals, and sometimes they dont care as much as she thought they did))) and see what they (purposefully technically incorrect) think and all reach an aggreement. when parents get involved, though, whoever's talking to her parents has this quality of being considered more right by everyone, and the parent involved certainly thinks so...and the kid cant really discuss anything bc (unless shes rebelling against her parents in which case she probably wouldnt have involved them in the first place) she cant agree that what her parents think or are telling her is wrong. so the end result, instead of being a consensus closer to one or another side of the original issue, is either that the parent 'wins' in which case the adult, the kid, and possibly the whole bunch of kids thinks that the kid who disagreed with the parent (me again!) was wrong wrong wrong and finally bowed to the superior intelligence and morals of the adult, OR that the parent-supported end gives in and both child and parent resent the other kid (me AGAIN) as soooooooo wrong and bullying their kid into doing whatever the isse was about. and the worst part of THE WHOLE FUCKING THING is when you have to talk to someone elses parent who thinks youre doing something wrong becuase they are so fucking condescending, and if you've reached an aggreemen that works for them they say 'i think that a good idea in a really friendly, condescending voice that wants to lecture you (and usually they sort of half do) about how every other idea youve had has been terrible and misguided and stupid and fucking immoral even when the issue is SOOOOO small. then of course, you (well, maybe only if youre me) invariably end up with the sense that they either dissaprove highly of your parents, hate you, or think you made som big mistake and had some big fucking learning experience at their direction, ALL of which inceidents lead you to want to throw up if you ever have to think about seeing them again and kind of make you want to stop hanging out with their kids just because you cant stop thinking about how the parents are fucking judging you. for some reason it never bothers me that tory's mom dislikes me, though...i wonder why.
