Howdy neocities! Today is testing. I hope I do good. My birthday is in four days, and I'm pretty excited. My dad took my phone for, what was it- oh right, getting him the wrong vape juice. Stupid, I know. But he felt bad enough about it that he said he'd get me service on my phone when he gave it back to me.
I haven't had it since September 16th, that's 78 days. He's giving it back to me on my birthday. The catch? He's gonna install Bark, Aura, Life360, Net Nanny, and all that jazz. Or at least that's what he told me. He's a lazy, poor sack of shit, and he probably doesn't care enough to buy a subscription that tells him when he should yell at me. It's too much work. He doesn't like putting effort into fatherhood so I'm guessing he's not gonna do it. Then again, he might see my indifference as a threat, and he'll be motivated to buy it. I don't know. I guess we'll find out in a few days.
If he does try to lock my phone up, I have the power to render it useless. I can use VPNs, I can switch accounts, I can factory reset the thing from the debug menu, and, worst case scenario I can just work a little harder and buy my own phone that he has no right to lock up. I don't think he understands how useless of a purchase that would be.
Part of me wants privacy. My dad has no business sticking his nose in my texts and searches when he doesn't even feed me. The other part of me does want to look at "things I'm not supposed to see" because if I don't, what's the point of even having a phone as a teenage boy? Either way, if he gets those damn parent apps, I'll find a way to turn them off or render them obsolete. I'm a genius and he can choke on it.
Speaking of genius, my testing starts soon. I usually finish first so I'll be able to sleep after I'm done. I've been sleeping more often, I hope it doesn't evolve into a problem.
I'm working on an OC page, but it's gonna require a LOOOOOOOOT of writing and work. I guess I'll be busy!
Always, Michael.
