Weeee... haven't written a journal entry in a long while. BTW... I haz a new love again... I mean if you haven't really noticed my art is full of it. Hahaha...

Moving on. The title of le journal is about my dad. Now why is he awesome you ask? Well, I come from a fundamentalist (or fundy as we call 'em) Catholic family. I am an atheist and as you can imagine, coming out is a tad bit difficult in my situation. My mom would prolly transfer me out of UP and my grandparents would kick me out of their home.

I couldn't handle the pressure when my grandparents singled me out after dinner about my praying earlier that afternoon. They pray the rosary and force us to pray with them EVERYDAY. Well, I thought I would burst. Later that evening, I told my dad. I came out, plain and simple, "Dad, I'm an atheist." I thought he'd hit me or yell. He didn't. he just looked at me smiled and said, "I know what you're feeling right now. But I won't force you to do anything you don't want to. I won't force you to believe if you can't. You'll just have to find your own way."

Afterwards, we talked about other stuff like college, drinking, heck even sex. I'm so glad I have such an understanding dad. I gave him the warmest hug I have ever given.

My dad is awesome. Just awesome.
