wow, really, this is pissing me off.

okay, so, yesterday I got back from my friends house.. I slept over. I told her the night before if there was anywhere I was going to go where I absolutley needed shoes. of course. we ended up going horseback riding, I needed shoes for that... and she went to get some food in mcdonalds, so I had to wear shoes. She's getting all creeped out by it and everything. We needed to go to walgreens, I go in barefoot. nothing wrong with that. The whole time, she's freaking running away from me cause shes embarassed to be around me... because I am barefoot. She kept telling me to put on my shoes... she obviously doesn't understand the concept.
and we go to the dog park with her dad.. it was all gravel there, so my feet hurt bad, but I didn't care, that's what I love about being barefoot, feeling the ground, not just stomping on it. So my friends dad is like 'why aren't you wearing any shoes?' I said, "Because I don't want to" and he kind of starts making a scene about it.

Heres what happened today

My mom was going to take me to get things for field hockey. I had to get CLEATS. ugh. So, I wanted to go barefoot. But my mom, having a must-conform-or-the-world-is-over additude, didn't like that. She kept telling me its illegal to go barefoot in to stores or in public. So shes looked up 'CT laws for going barefoot in public establishments' it all said 'there are NO rules for going barefoot in any establishments.' so she got owned. I wanted to burst out laughing, but she woulda screamed her head off. and then, she looks up the number for the store we're going to, and calls them up, asking if I can't do that. but of course I can. and shes asks the guy if they would encourage it. again, I wanted to burst out laughing. She doesn't understand that there are health benefits, and won't accept the fact. And what is so funny about that is that she is very interested in health. her father and grandparents were doctors and she was once volnteered as an EMT... you'd think she'd be understanding. But no.
So guess what I got today! Cleats! Tight ones! Made of leather, my favorite! and she connected me being barefoot to dropping acid. heres how. apparently, if I don't wear shoes, everyone will think I'm a freak and I will not have any friends. For some reason, that means I would go to the public school here... and thus, drop acid with them. yeah, that makes sense.

well, I'm happy because in 2 days I'm going to boarding school, and there may be people who don't approve, but they will not be like my mom, and they'll listen about its benefits without going bizerk.

I don't know, people are just pissing me off about this. anyone else who has people that piss them off about being barefoot?

 

I was just curious what store that was she called?
Usually a store that is ok with being barefoot would say no if you asked. I am very interested in knowing about a store that would say bare feet are ok.

 

ROFL

Going barefoot = dropping acid.

I am a 24-7 barefooter and I have never once in my life dropped acid.

 

same for me ... well the equation bare feet = drug fiend is quite popular and is hard to refute because it is so delightfully arbitrary. yes it is disappointing but it's this real world full of intolerance. funny that you mom has focused particularly on acid. chances are that SHE is the one that in her days took 'sid and forgot her shoes while tripping, lol :hat:

talking about silly prohibitions, local authorities here just went crazy and put speed limits of <15 mph on highways , forbid building sand castles on the shore etc. and maybe they are going to order us to change our underpants every 15 minutes.

 

It was a sports store. with carpeting, yadda yadda. They said it was fine, since my mom then asked if they would encourage it. like, really, is it that big a deal?

hahaha maybe that is the case.

no apparently she got the idea because I got the book 'acid dreams' the other day, and my dad saw it when we were walking out of the bookstore and is like 'Do you do acid?' seriously. so of course he had to tell my mom about the book. So somehow that means I do acid. and somehow acid is a bad thing.
oh well, they're hopeless on this subject, acid and barefooting. one is too young to have been a hippie in the 60's, the other was a yuppie at that time.

 

haha maybe your mom isnt that wrong lol




now before some zealot eventually starts bashing me let's point out that it's all a tease. ok?

 

well, sucking Lucy does not necessarily involve being a hippie or living in the sixties.

 

Your mom is equating conformity with pride. She is giving you loving guidance and doesn't want you to fall victim to drugs, sex, rock n' roll and other evils that reared their ugly head in the 60's. Since hippies of that era mostly went barefoot, mom doesn't want you associated with Charles Manson, Timothy Leary, SNCC, The Weathermen, Woodstock, pot smokin', acid trippin', long haired dirty hippie drug freaks. She is proud and wants to maintain an image of success, class and dignity for her family. She doesn't want you to be another Janis Joplin.

If you feel comfortable being barefoot, do so in the kitchen. It's a woman's place and you should be comfortable there. If in the company of others, or if you want to feel self-pride and go glam, wear a nice pair of six inch stiletto heels:cheers2:. Gucci, Prada and Jimmy Choo are but a few choices. You will feel pride when you go out and do the town. Others will admire you for your sense of style and self pride.

Oh, wait! I forgot my meds again Sorry about that.

 

And see, where I'm from, being barefoot=white trash.
Then again, I do live in a very redneck part of the country.

 

White trash? More like Kick Ass IMO! Keep going!

 

That's exactly how I feel deadguy!
White trash or kick ass or whatever, I'll be barefoot for as long as I can no matter what anyone says!

 

Conformity=pride? I smoke pot, drop acid, have long hair, and I'm called a dirty hippie freak on a daily basis. Does this mean I cannot be an image of success, class, and dignity? I must disagree... And a kitchen is a woman's place?? That's wrong. I thought we've gotten past that in history. Oh, yeah. It's people with this point of view that stop us from moving on. And lastly, how the hell does wearing six inch stiletto heels make you feel self-pride? I can't stand those types of shoes. For off, I find them to be very unattractive. And secondly, I think high heels are uncomfortable. I'm proud to go barefoot. If people can't understand that, fuck em 'cuz I'm happy with no shoes.

 

I think the second part was a joke.

actually, I think the whole thing is a joke.

 

my mom told my advisor about my barefeet and so she tells me to put on shoes, so I keep them on around her. I went all day yesterday barefeet. But apparently I can't be in cafeteria barefeet, thats fine. yesterday this girl gave me this confused look when she was looking at my feet, I just smiled.

 

I would NEVER joke about my heels! Why should the pleasure of going out in stilettos, fishnets and miniskirts be for women only? Ah, yes. I forgot to take my pills AGAIN!!!!!:cheers2:
