And I know it shouldn't bother me since it's still HELP, but god if their reasons weren't so obnoxious, I'd be a lot happier about it. That, and I had to talk to my Crazy Ass Grandmother. Why is she crazy? She claims that 'The Mexicans' that she bought cheese from spiked it with weed, and that she knows that my dark poems I showed her were from me being depressed about 9/11 (WAY before that moment, mind you), and that God was with me at all times to help with said non-existent grief. Also, my sister apparently steals pocketknives from her trailer. Totally.
Oh, and she heard that I was visiting my parents in 2 months by myself. Did I want to let her buy a ticket for my boyfriend so that he can accompany me on the perilous flight? Y'know, when I got here alone, by plane, by myself before? She shut up when I gave an inflated price, and it's not even any of her business. If she really wanted to know, she could have asked why he wasn't coming with me. I've already asked him, and he said no.
So yeah....
She lives in Arizona, which is about the only thing I gathered before she threw a bunch of 'dem guvmints screwing me over' at me, and my brain stopped a little. She mentioned that there's a large mining mountain over there, and that there's a couple people who mine in the area that have gorgeous stone (and turquoise!) beads for really cheap. That's perfectly fine, I wouldn't mind getting some at all! Even if she's...off her rocker a bit, if she wants to be nice and get me something, I don't mind at all. Then, she just pushed one of my trigger buttons.
"And you can sell these for a LOT of money! Just put ONE on there, and then some plastic beads or something, and then you can sell them for $40 a pop!"
1) Do not tell me how to do my fucking art.
2) I make this stuff to be high quality. I don't need, nor care for advice to use FAKE BEADS on stuff that I want to be high quality.
3) Are you making these necklaces and bracelets? Because last I checked, I was, which means you should just be nice, say that they're good quality and could be a nice addition to a necklace, and let me do my thing. I know you're trying to help and say they could boost the monetary value, but right now, I haven't even SOLD ONE yet. I haven't even gotten good pictures, put them on Etsy, or even gotten a direct compliment on it. I still have a long way to go before I get to a level where I will be comfortable doing so. So please, kindly shove off.
4) Just trust me to do what I do, and you won't have this problem with me being mad at you. I highly doubt this will happen, and this is why I'm glad that you're in a completely different state when I'm going to visit my (already crazy) parents.
My mother does this crap too. Again, with wanting me to get good money and blablabla. Here's the thing: My boyfriend is on SSI, therefore contributing, and I make close to $900 a month. I have plenty of money. No, I don't want a managerial or nursing career. It's cute that you think I'd make a good fitting room girl when I don't give a damn about fashion. Let. Me. Live. My. Life.
Any way of telling this nicely? That was the whole point of this.
