What the f*k. My mom tells my dad about the whole England for College thing and he proposes the stupidest thing. I mean my mom has doubts about it which is understandable and all even though me and my friend have a well thought out plan for it already and yes we actually do pay attention to the details that are needed.

Either way what he proposes to probably change my mind is to watch a movie called An Education. At first I was like...well that sounds boring but I looked it out anyways and this is what I got:

"In 1961 London, Jenny Millar is a 16-year-old schoolgirl who is on track to enter Oxford University when she meets a charming older man, David Goldman, who pursues her romantically. He takes her to concerts, clubs, and fine restaurants, and easily charms Jenny's parents into approving of the relationship. When Jenny recognizes that David is a con man who makes money through a variety of shady practices, she is initially shocked but silences her misgivings in the face of David's persuasive charm.

When David proposes marriage, Jenny accepts and drops out of school just before taking her A-levels. She then discovers that David is already married. When she confronts him, he at first makes excuses and then vanishes. Jenny despairs, feeling she has thrown her life away, but with the help of her favourite teacher, resumes her studies and is accepted at Oxford the following year."

I told mother about this after and she was just as WTF about why father would tell me we should watch this. DOES HE THINK I'M STUPID?! /rage.

Edit: Lol now he's giving me some stupid just thought up reason about how he's making me watch it so I can know that I have to plan out everything in my life. Well dad. Even if I didn't go to England for College I'd still be just as lost about what I want to do in the future.

EDIT: I WIN. WATCHED IT. MOTHER THOUGHT IT WAS POINTLESS TOO.

I can't even figure out what... am I supposed to be laughing at this? Because sorry honey, I love you but I can't help it. That is ridiculous.

I hope you can find a path that's right for you without being subjected to such an idiotic-sounding film. :( *hugs*

....What the heck...just...what the heck.

That totally sounds like my dad. He gave similar reasons for why I shouldn't live with a friend during the school year. Something about how he thought I'd drink, do drugs and drop-out.

Um, Dad. I never even got drunk until last Thursday...and I've been legal age for almost a year.

Dad's...I don't understand them at all.

Wow. And to think I never thought of telling you to watch out for sexy Brit con men. *pats*

Riiiight. My daughter. Is going to marry some effin' con man even if she knows about his true ebil side. B|

*hugs* Besides I know you're attracted to 2-D shota men just like Mommy, so I don't have to worry about a thing. 8D

Jokes aside, yeah. What kind of movie is that. It sounds pointless. I might sleep through that kind of thing... The point is I trust you in Iggy. Even if I'm going to miss you. ;A;

LOL. GLAD YOU TRUST ME...;;;.

It sounds totally pointless. Ugh.

WTH? Does he really think that that'll happen to you or what? Geez.

That's like the time when my friend watched the movie 'Taken' and she said that she would never fly to Paris because she'll meet some nice guy and he'd kidnap her. Idk

Watching that movie does sound pointless;;

Parents, they always worry waaaay too much about us, but this is just silly. :| I'm not sure if I should be laughing or feel sad about this. I haven't even met you in person, but I can tell that you wouldn't fall for something like that.

Another thing parents are very good at is underestimating the intelligence of the new generation. :T
