it's a strange situation, in my family. my grandma, for the past several months, has sent me uber-conservitive forwards, even though she knows where my political alligences lie. i've basicly ignored them until a couple of weeks ago, when i sent an email back saying i would very much like for her to ceise sending me the forwards. because she is psycho, she called my mom and said i had written a "very disrespectful" letter and defended liberals (i didn't really, but whatever). so my mom yells at me sort of, saying that my support of kerry isn't right because he's not "moral" (to which i said "and drunk driving and unnessasary wars are?"). so anyway i called my grandmother back and left a messege saying i was sorry if i offended her, but her letters were offensive to me. she calls me back and basicly broadsides me with insults. i learn that a) i am influenced by hollywood liberals who are athiests and will turn me athiest too and b) i'm going to hell. this was new information to me, of course. i had thought i was a Christian that liked to make movies, write music, and make musicals but clearly i was misled. anyway this causes me to sob hystaricly because no one has ever actually questioned my moral character before, or my ability to think on my own. so my mom did take my side because she felt my grandmother's interference was inapropriete. when i asked my mom why she was supporting bush, she said "he may not be the smartest man, but he prays. and he wants to protect marriage." which just made me cry again. my parents can never find out i'm gay, can they?
which is to say, i sympathize with you spider. you my man! so hang in there, because we're all in this together. we're a community of artists and art-loving people. so don't lose faith, don't look down, don't despair. we'll be here!
edit to say: yenta- i'm so sorry for your situation. i'll pray for you and your family! and matt- mentos jesus RULES! thank you for making me laugh on a very sad night.
