Parental Curiosity

As my faithful readers well know, I currently have a girlfriend who lives in California (which faithful readers will also know is entirely across the country). My parents also know this. It’s just that you could never tell.
 
Now, they’re well aware that I have a girlfriend – they’re constantly making snide comments or simple inquisitions about how she’s doing. The part they seem unaware of is the bit about her living across the country and the complications that come with it.
 
You see, one would think that my parents (who mostly live their lives vicariously through me), would take great interest in my relationship with a girl from across the country and where it may lead. However, I’ve not received one inquisition on my future and how exactly I plan on continuing to date this girl on the other side of the country. If I didn’t know better I would think they didn’t care at all.
 
However, actually, I do know better and I’m well aware why my parents don’t ask despite what I’m sure is rampant curiosity. It’s just their parental philosophy that it’s best not to pry, whereas it’s my personal philosophy to never let anyone know how I actually feel about anything unless they’re both Heather and willing to ask me incessantly. Thus, not much gets said.
 
And yes, I think this is about as close to a “personal” entry as my diary gets – which sorta proves my last statement for me. I guess this means that none of you will ever really know me.
 
Now, as to whether this is good or bad is highly debatable . . .
