Drugs
I remember once, when I was 16 or so, my mother sat me down at the kitchen table. With a very serious expression on her face, she asked, "Hypatia, are you using drugs?"
I couldn't believe she was asking me this. Here I was, Laurel President, and very faithful church goer, and my mom was asking me if I was doing drugs. Point blank. All serious and shit.
I remember I just kind of sat there with a dumb ass look on my face. "Um... no." I said.
"Because just tell me if you are. I want to help you if you are. I can tell that something's changed about you."
"No. Mom, I'm not taking drugs."
"You just seem, well, to be overly excited recently."
"Overly excited?"
"Yes. Hyper."
I don't know why I thought of this. But yes. My mom sat me down and questioned me about me using drugs. Even though I had never, ever touched any kind of drug. I sniffed whiteout when I was in the fifth grade once or twice. But DRUGS? Never.
Maybe I thought of this because I recently bought a coffee machine, and the fact that I am enjoying the wonderful libation of coke and rum. So yeah.
Oh and if I could get my hands on some, I probably would smoke a joint if given the opportunity.
Suck it Word of Wisdom.

I remember when I was younger my mom and I were watching TV, and a PSA came on that was about drugs or something, and she turns to me and says, "we don't need to talk about that, right?" and we both kinda laughed - funny how my parents were so utterly convinced that I wouldn't do anything they'd disapprove of, and I become the person I am - sex before marriage,, marrying a "non-believer," leaving my religion, drinking, and embracing practically everything counter-cultural. So yeah Mom, maybe you did need to talk to me about that. But I'm glad she didn't. I didn't need any more self-hatred than I already had.
Macha- I'm sorry if you did have some self-hatred. But yeah, sad when our parents just so gladly assume we'll grow up to be just like them. :P
This reminds of the day I came home from my boyfriend's house after losing my virginity. My dad asked what we did and I informed him we had grilled steaks. I wish I had been able to say, "dad, I just had sex and it was awful and the guy is a jerk." Maybe I wouldn't have stayed in that relationship as long as I did.
LOL! Were you drunk when you posted this? BTW, don't buy the cheap crap coffee. Go for the good stuff. There is no sense going to hell drinking shit coffee.
Hi! Just stumbled on your blog and I just have to say OMG I am not even joking...After reading through some of your past blog postings, I am certain we have the same mother! I haven't talked to her on the phone in forever because it is just so damn irritating to defend myself constantly. But I did get this gem of an email on Sunday: "Come listen to a prophet's voice! lds.org love mom." I honestly wanted to respond with "FML" because I knew she wouldn't know what that meant...
Just Zena- Oh man. That's the conundrum we face when we leave. We don't want to admit that we are unhappy with something because folks may try to turn it around and say, "SEE. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR LEAVING THE CHURCH." I'm sorry that happened.
TGD- GOD YES. BTW- Trust me. I get the good stuff! In fact, the region where I live in the place where I live is world famous for its coffee. I am scoring big time by living here.
Northerner- I can honestly say I'm so sorry if your mother is like mine! She too sent me an email recently and wanted to schedule some regular times to talk with her granddaughter. I'm fine with that, and I appreciate that my mother has finally sent me an email. My parents didn't even try to get me to watch conference this time. I was surprised they didn't even really bring it up because they actually attended this last session in person. Maybe they are realizing that it is "no bueno" to bring up church with me.
My still active mom gave me my beloved Keurig for Christmas. Progress! Sad thing is that I'd been off caffeine for 3 months. Now, I'm a junky again.
I love rum and coke too. Goes down a little too easy though.
And, do smoke pot if you get a chance. But, I recommend a bong or pipe over a joint. It hurts less that way.
Zena - I'm soooo gonna call it "grilling steaks" from now on. ;-)
