my mom...
don't get me wrong, i love my mom... BUT (there's always a but, isn't there?) DAMN, she drives me fucking insane.
this woman does not know how to turn on a computer. i just spent the last 20 minutes trying to explain to her how to send an email out to someone. and of course, her email service is ALL IN KOREAN. i can read it, but it's SLOW GOING. by slow, i mean, S-L-O-O-O-O-W. fuck. and then of course, having a short temper, i end up blowing up at her... and then apologizing... and then blowing up... and then apologizing. fuck.
mom: why can't i edit the text?
me: where's the email?
mom: the incoming mail box.
me: you need to forward it or reply or copy and paste it into a different email
mom: but, i don't know how!
me: just give me your password. i'll do it........ *time lapse* aw, crap. it's in korean!
mom: you know how to read it...
me: but it's just frustrating! and i don't understand what it all means!
mom: then read it to me...
me: that's even more frustrating!
mom: just tell me what it says...
me: forget it! just fffff (i really wanted to say fucking) forget it!
(quiet...)
me: sorry... okay... what do you want me to do now?
mom: edit the letter
(editing, editing, editing, saved in the save as draft folder)
me: okay, done...
mom: i don't see it.
me: it's right there in the save as draft folder
mom: i don't see it.
me: it's right there!
mom: i don't see it.
me: yes, it is! i'm ffff... looking at it RIGHT NOW! mom, what are you looking at???
mom: the incoming mail box
me: i said look in the save as draft folder!
mom: can't you put it in the incoming mail box?
me: yeah, if i SEND it to you, but it's already there in the other folder, can't you just look at it? there's a link right ffff there!
mom: okay.....
(quiet...)
me: sorry, mom... do you see it?
mom: i see it... how do you send it?
me: (in my head - oh, jeezus christ... the send button's right fucking there... fuck...) awww, jeezus... the send button, mom. the send button.
mom: where is it?
me: near the top, towards the left
mom: will it save a copy when i send it?
me: I DON'T KNOW HOW THE SETTINGS ARE!!! I DIDN'T SET THEM! HOW SHOULD I KNOW????
(quiet...)
me: sorry... i'll just send it.
mom: thanks... you're so good to me.
*kicking myself... gawd, i'm such a bitch to her*
why does she have to be such a nice lady, huh?
knowing my luck, i'll end up being just like her... minus the sweetness.

ehheheehehe.. i love your mommy.. hehe.. she's just like mine. except my mom knows i don't know how to read and she expects me to help her when she's on her han.net thingie.. she wanted me to how her how to send a picture attachment. i was like, it's all in korean.. when i asked her what it says she's all "i don't know." i said "uhh.. mom, it's in korean."
but, korean mommies are cute =)
did i tell you? my mom is always talking about how great you are.. and how glad she is that i'm your friend..and that i'd better not fuck up our relationship like i am with mel.. blah blah.. hehehe.. so i use you as an excuse.. she was yelling at me one time for going out clubbing and i said "grace goes clubbing.." and she said.. "uuha, really (learry?)?" then she stopped yelling at me.
My mommy is the same way... Except she's Ghanian. She just can't get the computer thing straight. She also can't keep fast food restaurants straight. A while ago we went to Burger King and she ordered a Big Mac the counter man was like ummm.... we don't have that it was Hilarious!!!
use me and abuse me, baby :P
ji used to do that all the time... now her parents hate me, too. she'd say we were hanging out and shit... and i wouldn't even know where she was. damn. she was bad.
