So.
My mom reads my journal. I used to ask her to stop, but she never respected that. She said as long as it was online, it was completely public and she could read it if she wanted. Whatever. But now she doesn't just read my journal for what I say, she reads both of my journals for the comments that other people leave.
She doesn't let it alone at that. The first thing she said to me this morning was that one of the comments someone had left made her so angry she almost left a comment in response. She constantly refers conversationally to things I have said or someone else has said in my journal.
It bugs the hell out of me. It feels like a violation of something I consider sacred. I hate that she reads in the first place, but now she talks about the content, talks about how fun it is to read, laughs when I look uncomfortable at her remarks.
Going friends-only is not AT ALL an option. I know it's futile, but I just wish she'd respect the boundaries that I request. I occasionally ask her to knock before entering my bedroom. She outright refuses. She used to ground me if I had an e-mail address to which she didn't know the password. I'd be surprised if she weren't reading my e-mail even now. She has no qualms about looking through any of my things in my bedroom - and not because she has any suspicions that I'm doing anything I shouldn't be, but Just Because.
I put up with most of this without complaint because no matter what seems right or respectful, she's Mom. And I know that. But this recent business with my journal really, really bothers me. I can't even do anything about it.

ATTENTION REAL-LIFE FRIENDS.
I need your help.
The French Honors Society induction ceremony is Monday night. I am leaning toward participating but I don't want to have a freak out afterward. So, here's where I need your help -
I'm not sure about the time, but how many of you are willing to either go out for dinner and/or ice cream on Friday night OR for breakfast on Saturday morning? (I have something to do with my family on Saturday afternoon, so that's out.)
This will be like a test run. The more of you who are interested in coming, the better.
So. Who's up for it?
[ETA: Okay. So. Six-thirtyish on Friday night or Tennish on Saturday morning?]
current mood: giddy
