My Muggle Parents Just Don't Understand

I hate to sound all stereotypically teenager, but in this post, I'm going to complain about how my parents don't understand me.

Sigh. But really, they don't. My dad keeps making a big deal about my Pizza John shirt. He says that I'm obsessed with John* and that he's just forcing me to buy all of this stuff. I don't know why, but even after I've explained the reason why John has fans**, our conversations still sound like this:***

"Well, why does his opinion matter more than mine? Why does anyone care about him?"
"He's a bestselling author with hundreds of thousands of online followers!"
"What does that matter? Does that mean that I can just sell a shirt with my face on it, and then make millions of dollars from it?"
"DAD, John is not a millionaire! He isn't forcing anyone to buy anything! AND NO ONE WOULD WANT A SHIRT WITH YOUR FACE ON IT BECAUSE NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU!"

Anyway, I thought that my mom would be better. Afterall, she is the one that is bringing me to the Roflcoptour show in Old Bridge, NJ. But no. She is not much better.

Just twenty minutes or so ago, I started talking about how the Roflcoptour people are going to be playing at Infinitus. My mom now says that I am obsessed.

Again, they're video bloggers. Their lives are all over the internet. It's not like I was going on and on about how much I love Kristina's bedroom****. I was just talking about their tour, which is not exactly secret knowledge.

In case you were wondering, I was saying how they are going down to Florida shortly before we are. I didn't say more than two sentences about it, and all of a sudden, I'm obsessed.

Oh, the woes of being a Nerdfighter.

*Not true. I agree that I sound like I am, however. But John's a VIDEO BLOGGER. You learn a lot about them, because they mainly TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME. Duh.
**Which, by the way, is very difficult to do without mentioning various things that would take further explanation, such as: nerdfighters/nerdfighteria, vidcon, Twitter, and Brotherhood 2.0
***My dad saying the things in orange, and me in blue. Though I'm pretty sure you gathered that.
****...Which is pretty awesome, but I wouldn't go on and on about it. But seriously, rainbow bed? AWESOME.
