I was in a totally happy, albeit bored, mood. And I wanted to take a picture outside. But I can't plug in the flood lights because Mom thinks that somehow I'll kill myself through electrocution.

It DID rain earlier today, (it's not anymore,) but think about this. The lights are going to be wet. OK. The outlet is dry. Both ends of the extension cord are dry. Doesn't it make sense that I can plug in the wet side first, then plug in the dry side?

Doesn't it make sense that electricity doesn't "short circuit" unless the new circuit is actually SHORTER? It's not going to bypass those nice metal contacts just because the plastic is wet.

I had a whole plan set up to get some pictures (I don't feel like explaining now), and I'd changed out of my normal clothes and everything, and she just says NO. wtf. If I'd said it was for homework, she'd let me climb out on the roof again. But NO, it's something I WANT to do instead of being TOLD to do it, and that's not a good enough reason.

That's why she never sees the product. If the effort isn't appreciated, then what's the point?

This reminds me of the time when I was doing this project at school. I ended up doing most of the work on the power point, and when I was showing it to her, she kept complaining that another boy's name came before mine on the title slide. Right off the bat, "Change the order, blah blah." I said no mostly because there's a difference between passive dislike and actively saying, "Hey, I think you're a jerk." It's called politics. Changing the name isn't a big deal, but we'd set them in alphabetical order to be fair. I'M not going to go behind someone's back. JERK!

I did doing most of it because I HAD FUN doing it, and she just won't take no for an answer. I ended up just shutting off the show, taking my flash drive, and going upstairs before the thing was even near half over. I don't think she would've gotten the point otherwise.

That was only a week ago. Apparently she's already forgotten.

Dood...
...I think it might be the ebb and flow of the Chi Force as it makes its way through the universe. All the Chi dries up at once and both you and I are screwed because it means the females in our lives both go biatch and we have to rant about it. Chi Force or meunstral cycle...you pick.

*ugh* Ok my parents would give me a few looks if I asked to go on the roof, but they'd at least trust me enough to go unsupervised. What does she think you'll do, Superman off the roof? Do you ever get home alone time, or is she always there...because home alone time is the most golden thing in the world.

Getting mad over the order of names is ridiculous.

And we learned stuff about electricity really recently in Physics but I just totally forgot all of it. :S

I hate when my mom gets pissy for no reason. recently it's usually over something my sister did, or didn't do, and it's being reverberated back at me. but it can be anything from something actually significant, to me forgetting to shut the bathroom door quietly at night. I guess mothers are just that way sometimes.
