i love the fact that i have resorted to making a power point presentation

all because my mom and dad can’t just be like “sure! DC’s a great place to go for spring break! oh, your boyfriend’s going to be there? the one you havent seen in 7 months because he lives on the other side of the country??? even better! you can catch up!”

DC’s closer than Louisiana anyway. we can drive 7 hours to see dad’s cousins, or drive 15 hours to see different cousins. at least the ones in DC have kids.

sorry guys: RANTING TIME!

well this isn’t really a rant. more of a jtlyk kind of thing.

Michael’s going to Jackson, TN. That’s 8 and a half hours from Worthington, OH (aka my prison).  He’s going to get there this saturday and im not leaving until tuesday evening.

SO. i say to my mom, after discussing many a remote possibility for meeting up: “Hey mom… you know… I think that Sunday would be a fantastic day to drive down to Jackson, TN.”

Mom: Why? who’s there?
Me: … Michael.
Mom: Hahaha! That’s funny, Ellie.
Me: What?
Mom: Did his mom say she’s okay with you two?
Me: No, he hasn’t told her yet.
Mom: Well he should find a way to deal with it. He’s old enough.
Me: Mom, do you have any idea what his mom would do if she found out about us?
Mom: No, I dont. But I’m sure that he can handle it.
Me: She would take away all ways for him to communicate. She’d probably make him delete his facebook account, take away his phone, and probably plenty of other things, too.

My mom pretended not to hear me and walked out of the room.

My options are as follows:

  • harp about not being able to go down to TN and hope she changes her mind
  • not say anything and hope she surprises me and takes me down (highly unlikely)
  • run off and take a bus down to Jackson (also highly unlikely), though I could threaten it

               or

  • WAIT A WHOLE OTHER 9 MONTHS TO SEE MICHAEL IN IDAHO THIS SUMMER.

That last one’s not a very good option. At all.
