Today, in the episode of My So-Called Life, Angela had a touching moment with her mom. I had a lump in my throat, because I wish I had that kind of relationship with my mom. It's not like Angela said in, I believe the first episode, that she can't look at her mom "without wanting to stab her." (How's that for an embedded quote? :] ) I love my mom, I just don't go to her for anything. I can't even really talk to her about my life, because she always makes me feel like.. I don't know how to describe it, but I feel like I'm not getting her opinion, I'm getting her opinion watered-down, re-worded to fit what she thinks I need. It annoys me. Actually, a lot of little things about her annoy me, but that's a whole new post.
I like my dad much better, I can talk to him about stuff. My dad will just listen to what I have to say, and offer his opinion. My dad and I have good discussions bout politics, religion, etc. Also, we have the same sense of humor, so we joke around a lot. However, I still don't really go to him. It would just be weird to talk to my dad about whatever my issues might be at any given time, because, most of the time, it involves boys.
If I had something big happen to me, like Angela did, I would go to my best friend. She definitely understands me way better than my family. That's kind of sad, that I trust someone I've only about a year better than my own family. But life is weird like that sometimes.

I don't think it's weird at all! Sometimes, if I can't talk to a friend, I prefer to be alone over my family.
But I get that feeling. Like they're choosing their words a little too carefully?
Yeah, exactly.
