My parents think I'm twelve.

So I was on my laptop the other day, surfing the net as usual, when I noticed something strange. When I went to check my Facebook, I received a blank screen that read:
"Web Site Blocked by Filter."

I refreshed the page.
"Web Site Blocked by Filter."

I disconnected from the internet and reconnected.
"Web Site Blocked by Filter."

I restarted my computer.
"Web Site Blocked by Filter."

....My dad blocked Facebook on my computer.
At the ripe old age of 19, I cannot access Facebook without permission from my parents.

Fo' real.

The funny part is I don't even care. I think it's hilarious, actually. My parents think that
Facebook rules such a huge part of my life that I'll inevitably crumble into the social dark ages without it. I'm sure they were expecting a shit storm of a tantrum when I found out, but I've just ignored it thus far. It's really puzzling my dad, who assumed I spent 99.9999% of my time drooling over my news feed.

It's not like he was punishing me for anything, he just thought there were more productive things to do with my time. I agree. Maybe I'll pick up a new hobby. I could build model aircraft. Or sew clothes for trolls. I could learn Swedish! Or I could mother some pet rocks. The real world is so much more exciting than the internet world! Thanks, Dad :D

In other news, I got my blood drawn today without being a total douche about it. Woooh! This is a first. I hate needles and am prone to fainting after getting my blood drawn. I usually have to drink, like, six juice boxes before I can get my ass out of the office... So for today's accomplishments I applaud myself.
