So I'm going out to my parent's place this weekend to look after my nan while they go away on vacation next week. I still haven't decided if this is sweet on my part and me being a good son or is it me agreeing with them that my nan can't look after herself?
My family can be a source of frustration with me at times. They're very safe, suburban type folks. They're not normal by any stretch of the imagination, but if they ever did anything risky (or risque) I'd probably be stunned into amazement. Roller derby, pro wrestling, punk and alt music, all of these things I love are the things that puzzle my family about me. I've tried to explain to them how these things give me a sense of belonging, since a lot of mainstream type folks often made me feel outcast while I was growing up. Tried to tell them how these things gave me comfort, helped me meet people like me so I knew I wasn't alone in the world and literally (I know what it means and I'm using it correctly here) save my life.
*whew* Unloaded a bit there, sorry if I bored anyone with that. I'll let everyone know how the week goes.
