I was completing my part of the census last night like every other Aussie, strike box, complete here yadda yadda… Then I got to that question, the one I’ve always debated with mother dearest. Tabo, I put my pen to paper and crossed ‘no religion’. I will say if there was a god he was not saving me from the fireworks and fury that set mother into motion.
After the heated discussion that ended with her saying ‘you’re not my daughter’ I trotted off to my bedroom to happily read myself to sleep, time passed, pages flipped... I could’ve sworn I heard my name, my ears tweaked, that is someone calling my name… I looked out my window, there he was, TAB guy with a smile from ear to ear. How the fuck do I get out my way out of this one and get back to bed?
I didn’t realise that I was that capable of being a bitch! I basically told him that I didn’t appreciate him coming past my house unannounced. His smile dissipated and he’s continual pleads for me to come down stairs for a ‘warm hug’ (was he crazy? I was in my warm house in my PJ’s.) Were not met…
Please no religious debate here, click next blog 9/10 you’ll find one; I’m just expressing my opinion/recounting the events of the night.

That's not being a bitch, that's doing the only thing you should have done. This guy is a nutter, not a quaint little admirer, and he needs to back off (or he'll have me on his ass - kapow!).
The 'no religion' box rules! But I can't remember having that option, I had to put down atheist. Putting down jedi is sooooolast census.
YES! A nutter! 'I saw your car and your light on' Ahhhh... I can't have a quite night at home!
The 'no religion' box was under all the options ;-)
That sounds a bit creepy of him... As for the "no religion" I was tempted to do the same but I was in no fun mood to play last night!
And I had the same ‘you’re not my daughter’ talk from my mum about the same thing a few years ago. As much as I didn't like it, I stuck to my opinions and she now understands that I won't budge! There are advantages to being a determined taurean! ;)
and what is TEB? 'The Evil Bastard'?
how wily are mothers? They can play the 'you're not my daughter/son' thing, then within 5 minutes, venting about how 'long [she] was in labour'...make up your mind!
cBabe Mum has known i feel that way, for many years now, its the first time its ever on paper... interesting, you're the same... Determined Taurean, I'm a determined Scorpio ;-)
Cibby - Spelling(?) TAB guy, i met him years ago when he was working at the local TAB, the name stuck... Do you mind if I steal TEB? 'The Evil Bastard' should I ever require it ;-)
Mothers! Too hard basket!
yeah I had the 'no god' discussion a few years ago. It ended with holy water being spashed over me and many a prayer and rosary being said. I AM NOT KIDDING!!! funny now..but not back then.
hehe... you'll get no religious debate from me ;)
Three letters for you babe, AVO if he keeps that shit up!
Religion - I'm with you. That's what I put in my census form.
Ha ha. You "yadda yadda-ed" God.
Wombat
M - You have to be kidding holy water being spashed over me and many a prayer and rosary If not, did it work????
Thanks GB! So the born again christians havent got to you yet?
Nick - I hope to avoid that! Last time he came around was a few months ago at midnight! Argh!
wombat I didn't yadda yadda that ;-)
I am most certainly not kidding! heh. It didn't work. I still tick 'no religion' :)
I'm with you, i hate having to justify my beliefs to people because they can't accept my beliefs may differ from them, yet expect tolerance of their own beliefs
