"I F%*king love" Friday series: Background and Overview

Obviously there is a bit of a play on words in that title, it could be taken to mean that I fucking love Friday, though the placement of the quotation marks signifies that's not exactly the case. I do happen to love Fridays-

-though not for the same reasons most people do.

Why not for that reason? Well, I don't have a "normal" or "regular" schedule such as a work week with set times and days etc., however most of the people I love do have that type of schedule, and they do love Fridays for that reason. It makes them happy, and what makes the people I love happy, makes me happy. Therefore I fucking love Fridays-

-but, that's not what this series is about. So WTF is this series about dreemit?

Well the short answer is: It's about the things I fucking love.

But for my fellow, amazing, and super intelligent steemians, you deserve more.

Let me start with a little background.

Now many of you have seen the woman @jedau affectionately dubbed as Mama Dreemit, who is of course, my mom. And I love my mom, in fact I fucking love my mom. She is a positive, exuberant woman, who is happy most of the time. She's a lot of fun and she cracks me up regularly with her boisterous nature.

But the one drawback is that she is also a religious woman- now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with her adamant Christianity, at least at this point in my life. It's part of what makes her, well her, and I wouldn't want to change it.

But when I was growing up there were a lot of things that were considered sinful or even taboo. And one of the biggest things, to this very day, is the word fuck. She absolutely hates it. And because it was so forbidden, it became the forefront of my rebellion. In fact you could say the word Fuck for me is synonymous with the word Free.

I can still remember the first time I ever said it.

I was about fifteen years old and had been sent to my room for something I did- what that was I don't remember, but I recall feeling it was extremely unfair. And being angry about it. Actually I was fuming, furious- livid. This is bullshit I thought. (shit was also a no-no, but no where near the same level of no-no) Total bullshit. I felt a little better, but not enough, so I said it out loud. "Bullshit. Total, utter bullshit". Again, I felt a bit better, but still not enough.

I sat there, the word tumbling around in my head until it fairly burst out of me "Fuck!". I was stunned at myself for a moment and though I hadn't said it loudly, I was still half expecting her to be standing outside my closed bedroom door having a heart attack.

But thirty seconds passed and nothing happened. So I said it again, a bit louder, adding to it. "This is fucking bullshit." "It's unbelievable fucking bullshit." "The stupidest fucking bullshit of all fucking bullshit". "Fuck, fuck, FUCK."

Now that last one had been a bit loud, and for a few moments I was frozen, staring at my bedroom door. Until it became apparent she was not upstairs, that nothing but the walls had heard me. Then I began to smile until I was flat out grinning because saying that oh so terrible, sinful word had felt fan-fucking-tastic.

It became my new favorite word, though no one knew this but me for the longest time because I only ever said it when I was alone.

I realized how versatile it was- obviously it was an expletive, but it was also an adjective, a verb, a noun, and most of all it was forbidden- and a secret. I don't know how you were as teenagers, but those two things were fairly irresistible to me and many of the friends I had. Forbidden things, secret things.

It wasn't until much later that I realized the greatest thing about it was that it wasn't hurting anyone. Now obviously it would have 'hurt' my mom if she heard me say it, or even knew I was saying it- but she didn't.

To this day I've never said it in front of her (though I suspect by now she may have an inkling that I say it- considering she read my books Reborn and Renewal)

Okay, so that is the background. And just to be clear I'm going to reiterate- this series is going to be about things I fucking love, posted on Fridays- so stay tuned-
