I am going to fucking pack my bags and leave, I don't care what happens.<br /> Why does it bother so much that I don't wear skirts or dresses? That I like my hair super-short, and in fact want to shave it off? That I want a nose ring? That I hate carrying purses, and would rather just put everything in the pocket of my jeans? That I like the colors blue and black rather than pink and lavender? That I prefer plaid, spikes, and Hello Kitty to taffeta, lace, and ribbons?<br /> Oh, I know why. Because she can't stand the idea that I, her only biological child, am different. That I'm bisexual, that I prefer writing and playing guitar, that I will never be interested in volleyball or piano. She's already forced me into eleven fucking years of piano! That's all but three years of my life!</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/rollie_tamale/blog/rant_venting_subject_stupid_parents_and_gender_stereotypes">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/rollie_tamale/blog/rant_venting_subject_stupid_parents_and_gender_stereotypes#comment anger angst feminist rant rebellion Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:38:03 -0400 Rollie Tamale 2815 at http://www.punkplanet.com
