The argument with Mum..

It seems like the moment I wrote about teenagers being stupid and only thinking about the now I became one. I was completely out of line and I know it and im sorry mum for causing you pain and annoyance by continuing to argue with you over the computer, when I know that everything you say is actually true.
Yes, I am addicted to the computer and no I don’t think I could “quit” it cold turkey, just like you said.
Yes, I know that I always bellow down the stairs and on the rare occasion have I come and asked you properly and nicely to unblock the computer, just like you said.
Yes, I know that it’s for my own good that the computer shuts down at nine o’clock, just like you said.
Yes, I only go on rubbish sites and no they don’t help me in the slightest educational way, just like you said.
Yes, I know it doesn’t matter what every other family does and what other people think, just like you said.
Yes, I know I spend too much time on the computer, just like you said.

I’m sorry mum. I really do love you and I promise, promise to try harder next time.

The funny thing is that normally I have quite good arguing skills. I just come up with the best things to say and I can turn peoples words on themselves so easily.. admittedly I only argue with mum and dad like that. I don’t argue with my friends at all. I can’t think of a reason why but no one argues with friends. It’s not that they are more important than family members, it’s just a different sort of relationship. Anyway, the annoying thing while arguing with mum last night was that just five minutes before, I was actually venting about how stupid teenagers were because they only think about the now in my blog, and I was arguing till I was black and blue in the face with mum, trying to make her see how important the computer is.. When I know full well that the computer is not important, no matter how much I may say it is, and I know full well that I could do without it quite happily. I know that the only reason I go on the computer is to talk to two people (and blog now I suppose haha) and it wouldn’t really matter if I wasn’t friends with them, but once again I was being a stupid teenager and putting a lot more importance on the things that don’t matter in the slightest once you leave high school. It made it a bit more difficult to argue my case to mum when i had just been blogging about how stupid it was..

Wow this blog really is good for self-reflection! I think I really will blog regularly or as regulary as I can because it will be good for me :)

Well I better start getting ready to ride to Pebble’s house (this shall be her nickname until I can think of another one, so im sorry my owl for copying :P) We shall hav fun playing truth or dare! hahaha
