church and parental issues
Apr. 11th, 2004 08:42 amI got up early in case I wanted to go to church, but whole Easter Sunday thing is kind of putting me off. Yeah, most UU congregations don't do much by way of specifically Christian celebration, but there's going to be a Child Naming and Parent Dedication ceremony... and those irritate the hell out of me for some reason.
So I'm up for no reason. Bah.
---------------------------------
Today I am setting out -- in writing and nice organized lists -- my plans for the coming year or two. Then I get to email all this to my parents. Joy. Excruciating joy.
They'll be understanding and supportive of my decisions, of course, which is -- in a bizarre way -- almost worse than being disapproving and angry. Because I have nobody to worry about and nothing to fear but myself. And I can't find any righteous anger to drive me, which is a shame. I work well with imminent deadline pressure or righteous anger (the first is much easier to come by; my righteous anger has a nasty tendency to derail into corrosive anger), but otherwise I have motivation issues.
