Gah... I was playing an MMORPG game with my buddies over in Korea when suddenly out of fucking nowhere my mom goes "I think you've played games for too long now! Get off the computer!"
I've only been play for a fucking 30 minutes, what do you think I would accomplish in that little time?!
Although my parents are really nice and stuff, the fact still stands that some things that most kids would be doing is not allowed in our house.
For instance...
We have a strict curfew here. My mom probably doesn't really care about the time, but my dad is so strict about health and things like that. Every time we're doing something at like 9 PM or something, my dad has to remind us that "between 10 PM and 2 AM is when you grow the most." I suppose it's because he was always a bit short, even by asian kids standards. I was so mad that even when I'm in high school, I have a fucking CURFEW. It's so sad I'm gonna dig a hole and just die. Even if we're having a sleepover at our house, our parents still expect us to go to bed before curfew.
Not that we do, but it's still outrageous the way they expect me to follow their instigated curfew. I guess I'm just glad that most of my sleepovers with other kids when I was young was at THEIR house, not mine.
Damn, that isn't even the worst part. Even if I'm saying I'm "studying for my grades" or whatever, if it's past curfew, my dad just blows and tells me to get in bed. Well, if I don't live up to their asian standards, it's THEIR curfew and THEIR fault I'm not doing well.
Besides being asian, I'm also a pastor's kid, so that's probably why they got such a big parent-like syndrome coming on to me.
**OFF TOPIC
Have I ever mentioned that I would like to vlog someday? Like on YouTube or something. That would be cool, except then people would see my face coming out from a sucky camera screen. Maybe I'll wear a muffler or scarf or something to keep my head down. Actually, I'm starting to think it might not really work since I don't have a very emotionally tied face. It's very expressionless. And oh, crap, what if my parents are watching YouTube and they see me on? They'd get so pissed, not mentioning enforcing MORE computer limits. T^T
**BACK
What I don't understand is that my parents are completely okay with me staring at the computer screen for like an hour when it's filled with full word documents. If they even see my mouse TOUCHING the game launcher icon without asking them, they get so pissed you wouldn't believe.
They also put a fucking egg timer on my computer. How lame is that?! They expect me to use it when I'm online or on a MMORPG game, but no way in hell am I gonna use that damn thing.
Geez, if there's one more thing I hate about my parents, it's that whenever my dad feels like watching the TV when I'm playing video games on it, he automatically says something like "I think you should stop playing games now, you're over your time limit."
Of course I'm over my time limit, but the limit was like 2 hours ago. You're telling me to stop NOW? And as soon as I turn off the system, my dad flicks right to the ESPN channel to watch an almost finished tennis game.
Or if he doesn't particularly say that, he says "Why don't you go take a shower now? Think of all the people you met today and all the germs they might have spread on you."
Psh, yeah, right. I've been stuck at home for the last week. I've got nothing against showers and baths, but at the most inconvenient time? Not just that, but I always take a shower after lunch and in the morning. What the fuck are you trying to pull?
Unfortunately, I gave up on arguing with my parents a long time ago, since I'm afraid my online dirty mouth will somehow show an amazing performance in front of my parents. I don't want them to lessen their trust on me. And one thing I'm afraid of the most is that I'll cause my siblings to act like me. Heaven knows we can't have that.
I'm a loser at school, I have bad grades, I keep evil thoughts in my head, I'm rebellious on the inside, and I sure as hell am not good looking. It's probably because of all the scowling I do at home. Yeah, my siblings don't want to be me.
One day, though, when I don't feel obligated to do what my parents say, I'm gonna let 'em have it.
