that was eliza! I DONT KNOW WHY YOU STILL KNOW MY PASSWORD YOU SCARY BEAST. i am going to change it.
i'm sorry if i sound like one of those teen tyrants going through some rebellious phase, but yes, i do consider it not only unfair but A GREAT INJUSTICE INDEED to be grounded for a whole month.
SERIOUSLY. NOBODY IS GROUNDED FOR A MONTH. even in disturbia, some dude punched a teacher and he only got house arrested for 3 months. and come on, will you watch tv! when people miss their curfew, their parents go "go to your room!" and the next day IT'S FORGOTTEN ABOUT ISNT IT.
which is what i did btw. miss my curfew. but it was only by 15 minutes! and it was for good reason. i was at caregroup! this makes it all the more annoying because it was for a good cause that i was late, and it wasnt like i was even doing anything extremely exciting or out of the ordinary. honestly, if i knew i was about to be grounded, i would ensure i had one last bash first. go paint the town red or sthg. roar!
and also i think the reasons they give for grounding are COMPLETELY unfounded. it is highly unlikely that a fifteen minute difference in timing is going to warrant an ambush by a hoard of people with evil intentions. it's simply not possible that at eleven o'clock all the rapists, kidnappers and oily old men of the world pop out from behind bushes and leer at 17 year old girls who are walking past.
PLUS MY CURFEW WAS LATER WHEN I WAS SEC 1. i swear. i used to go out with my friend, and her mom would drop us back at like 1 in the morning, and did i get grounded? NO. i swear, with every passing year of my life, the timing gets pushed earlier and earlier. soon it will be 6pm i bet.
to some extent, i blame it upon myself. i should have been a more rebellious kid when i was younger, so now every small thing i do thats in the least way positive, wouldn't be taken for granted, but be celebrated with party poppers and fireworks. HA. it sucks to try to be a good daughter and all that stuff, and in the end, all that happens is that parents get raised expectations of you which you're forever striving to meet.
i don't care i am going to get back somehow. i will start with accidentally on purpose finishing the toilet paper in the bathroom and forgetting to replace it. it's the small things that keep you sane. BLEH.
