Pork And Beans

No one will get the appropriateness of the sexual connotations of that title...

I'm at my gradmother's house sitting on her computer because I'm watching my cousin's kid, Ian, who is sleeping behind me on the bed. He is sooooooo precious.

Here is a picture of him right now.



The main purpose of this post however, is to try to sort through everything that happened yesterday. I'm not even entirely sure I want to get into it, it's super long and complicated and confusing because my mom never makes sense about anything. lol You know, I think I'm just going to bullet point (EDIT: Bullets don't work on blogger?) the main points for myself with out explaining them because hell, barely anyone reads this anyway and it would be WAY to large of a task to try to put everything that happened down. Seriously, just yesterday alone could have been a week.

So where to start....

Desperately still trying to avoid "The Conversation That Shall Not Be Named." lol
Things that need to be done

This was all because they are CONVINCED I'm having sex, which I'm not, unless that virginity of the mouth thing is real. Then I guess I'm NOT a virgin after all. :P :P

Silly parents...Too bad they would never believe me if I told them I am waiting until I get married to have sex (or "intercourse" as my mom so awkwardly calls it.)
