More wierdness
Okay, so the last few conversations with the parents have been quite weird. I would describe them as "singularly weird" except that each time, it's more of the same. In the first such incident, my parents all but accused me of being drunk and/or stoned. Now, me being drunk is not beyond the realm of possibility (as it does happen), though I had not even had anything to drink that night. However, I must say that I was mildly put off that they would think I was doing some sort of illegal drug. I've never really had any urge to use such substances, as I tend to think that they're far more trouble than they are worth, what with all the unpleasant side-effects, health risk, not to mention the fact that in order to obtain such substances, one has to consort with individuals that break fairly major laws, and often in violent fashions. The most recent incident involved my dad trying to give me relationship advice, in spite of the fact that I really don't have anyone that I'm not really looking for a relationship in my life right now. I've made peace with my place in life right now, and the fact that I haven't had a date in some time really isn't bothering me at the moment. Stop laughing, I'm serious! It's not that bad. At any rate, Dad seems to be under the impression that this is depressing to me. While there are depressing aspects of my life (such as my continued unemployment), my relationship status is not one of them. In fact, it's one of the few things that I've come to accept and with which I can live. Next thing you know, they'll be trying to set me up. That would just be awkward, though.
