Supportive parents and the things they buy

It is obvious that some people's parents do not support their children and their punk leanings. My mother is occasionally conservative, but usually she gets over my crazy antics and will help me (she put up my mohawk every few days when one of my arms was fucked up). Sometimes, she eves supports me to the point where she will buy me things that I really want. Today, I think she was too happy, because this is everything she bought me (don't ask me how I got her to do it, I have no idea)...

She bought me a pair of Doc Martin's, which I have been lusting after for quite some time (8 eye and my first pair). She bought me three records: The Meatmen (We're the Meatmen and You Suck!), Blanks 77 (Up the System), and The Necros (Tangled Up). She bought me three graphic novels/comic books: "Mine Tonight" by Alixopulos, "My Life in the Jugular Vein" by Ben Snakepit, and "Friends" by Francois Vigneault. She also bought me two pins: Minor Threat (beerhead) and Misfits (skull). Usually I don't ask for much mostly because A) I shop on my own with my own money (which is very little) and B) I feel bad asking for a lot of stuff because I know that every penny adds up and I don't want to waste her money. I think because we're on vacation she's kind of relaxing. Earlier this summer she bought me the ticket for Iggy Pop for $45 and recently she bought me a ticket for the Reagan Youth show in September. The fact of the mater is that if my mother hated that I liked punk she would not have indulged me today and in some ways I'm really glad that she doesn't hate punk (she likes X and 7 Seconds = ). Sometimes she can be very anti-punk, but once you get her shopping well she just won't stop. = )
