The Book Of Band Stuff 2

Fucking Bullshit (it's a rant)

So normally I don't like posting rants because you know, who cares? (this is a long rant so if,you don't want to read it, don't read it)

So I'm interested in buying a long board (kinda like a skateboard) okay?
So my mom wants me to go outside and Be more active. Right? Right. So I thought "hey, my mom gets what she wants and I get to ride along and have fun" so I went to the kitchen and asked her (oh god, you should have seen the look on her face, it was a mix of disappointment, and are you crazy?) my mom said I might get hurt, so she said no (I understand her reasoning. [hold on this is where the good stuff comes in]), at this moment my brother comes and over heard the connversation. Then he said "what the heck (more like fuck) thats for guys"
At this point I'm like:

Then my brother says "wow, a longboard" I said "what? it's just some damn wood with wheels"

My mom says "okay, but it's dangerous (again I get where she's coming from she wants me to be safe, ok)
I said "But did you say that when I got my first bike?" (i was ten when I got it) "no" (you wanna know what happened? I was riding my bike, and I fell. Then I fucking face planted on the floor, I scraped my face across the pavement, busted my lip and somehow, also scraped my shoulder. I was fucking bleeding mess. Also about two years later, I'm riding my bike, some guy crashes in to causing me call off my bike.) but did both of my parents take into consideration that I would also get hurt riding a bike (just like everyone else?) no.
My dad comes down stairs to eat and asked what we were talking about, my brother answered saying "she wants a skateboard" (ha!, you should have see the look on my dad's face) he said "A long board? That's not for girls, you know soon after you gonna start dressing up as a guy"
Again this is Bullshit.
I said "Dad just because I'm riding on a board of wood with wheels does not mean I'm gonna dress like a man.
This is when my mom says "why don't you do a more 'feminine sport' like volleyball or running?"
I answered "mom do you realize that people still get hurt playing sports like volleyball or running? Do you also realize the effects that running could put on my knees because of how crappy they are?" At this point we all shut up because we knew it would turn into a full on argument.

And dude, you should have seen the look on my parents faces when I was six years old and told them I wanted to be a veterenarian (because I love animals) and was expecting my parents to say "cool" "yeah" "ok, follow, your dreams." (I used to sit in front of my parents laptop and try to read about what about what vets did, read animal fact stuff like that.) What my parents actually said (reality punched me in the gut) "choose a job thats more for a girl" hehe way to ruin a six year olds dream (you can become whatever you want when you grow up they said, be anything they said. Yeah right)

You should have seen the look on my mom's face when I told her I started a band with my friends. She just laughed at me.

You should have seen the look on the look on their faces.

But you know, who cares?
