aww, thanks guys.
Alix - I had basically solved the previous problems by finally sitting down and talking to her about it. It was a long, drawn out dramatic argument about a lot of really heavy things, and we just weren't communicating properly. I think today she's just in a bad mood like everyone gets into, because we were perfectly fine until I woke up this morning. *shrug* Sometimes it's easiest just to stay out of her way.
Glory - I do ask what I can do, and she kind of takes the roundabout course, telling me that this summer, I'd better not just sit around all the time, and that... get this - I have to go shopping for some stuff before I go back to school - THAT is what I should be doing because I've had two weeks to do it. That's really so important. She's just trying to make an example, I guess. I went out a bit this morning, but I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don't have my own car, so I need permission to use my mom's... and even if I do get that, I have to be careful because the roads up here have been really icy lately.

Going to visit my old high school tomorrow morning, though. There are some really special people there that it'll be great to see.

Thanks guys.

good to hear it's better now.

i completely sympathize w/ your car issue. next year, me and all my friends will be driving. most of my friends will have cars but i won't. i'll probably get my dad's when i graduate college which is when my brother got a car. that's fine, i don't mind not having one. (except the fact that i'll be the only senior taking the bus to school, but whatever, i can deal) but my parents dont let new drivers drive me either (statistics is the excuse - to many accidents w/ new drivers) so my friends won't be able to drive me, which is a big problem b/c they all live at least a half hour from me and if we want to go somewhere, or during school (seniors have open campus) i won't be able to go which really sucks. hopefully, they'll see that my friends have to be able to drive me.

anyway, off to finish my work so i can hopefully get to sleep at a decent hour tonight. ttyl!

Yeah... it was more my decision on the car issue. I didn't have a license til the end of my last year of high school for various reasons... my parents wouldn't let me drive for a while because they were nervous, then I had a pretty serious injury that prevented me from driving, and then I just got busy with other stuff and never took my road test. By that point, I knew I'd be living in the City, where I definitely wouldn't need a car, nor would I want the burden of having one. So, that's not their fault. Just a tad frustrating sometimes.

*angst*


To post a new topic, or not to post a new topic? That is the question...
I was hoping to some advice on how to deal with my bible-hugging-closed-minded-stereotypical-texan parents if I ever decide to come out to them from people with personal experience, but that would involve me admitting to more people that I'm bi...

If you don't feel comfortable posting it, then try to find someone you think you trust and would be able to help you and address it privately?

Well, I suppose you should also ask yourself what you hope to achieve by telling them. Is it so they won't be upset when one day you bring them home to meet your life partner Billy? Is it so you don't have to keep secrets from them if/when you start dating men? Is it just for support?

I dunno. I'm just really bad at keeping things from my parents. Somehow, they can already tell something is bothering me. I can't keep lying forever. I was hoping to wait until I'm a little closer to leaving for college so I don't have to deal with them much, but thats basically a year and a half away so who knows...

Emcee, did you try talking to her yet?

Glory, tell them if it's safe- if you know they won't hurt you or kick you out, they need to know. Remind them that you love them, you are still their son.

No, this is my brother's battle, not mine. He's a tough kid to deal with sometimes, so I'm just going to steer clear for a while.

*hugs Glory*
Do what you think is right... I can't tell you what that is.

Geez emcee you're supposed to know everything




So y'all know, just because I post something doesn't mean you have to help me fix it. Sure its great if you do, but I don't expect it of you. Even just acting like you care is more than I can ask

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/9/05 at 11:25pm

*pouts*
Then I have failed you... *sulks*



And we care!

Glory, I'm a terrible actor. I care a lot about this- you are a friend to me. (slightly OT- Kristin should join bww)

[OneBlazeOfGlory]

Posted: 1/9/05 at 11:33pm

Well don't I feel special now?





About Kirsten... shes lurking here at the moment. She gave me a clip of her singing that she wants me to see if anyone will listen to and comment on, otherwise she says shes quite content lurking, but is happy to chat with any of you over instant message-- she knows you better than you might think (now isn't that a creepy thought?) from reading your posts and all.

That is a little creepy. Kristin, don't be shy! And I want to hear the clip but I can't get it on aim tonight. What has she read? I'm afraid now.

Haha didn't mean to creep you out... shes been reading since like november, so whatever has happened since then. She didn't bother to go back and read what happened before though, so not *too* much to worry about

Well DUH Ellie.. isn't that always the case..

I was however for once in my life not being a pervert and refering to a stiff drink, but hey, I'm good with going to the gutter..
