Hi everyone! I've lurked around here quite a bit, but I've never actually posted, so here goes!

I finally got around to getting Civilian today...let me just say that I can't stop listening to it! In the car, on the computer...I can't get enough of it! I think my favorite song is "10,000 Miles."

guitargeek: Haha, I would ask my mom to get it for my birthday, but she thinks I'm ALREADY obsessed, so I may wait a while.

Ok, I was out with my mom doing some last minute shopping before I go back tomorrow, so I've got some catching up to do. My mom doesn't drink much, but my dad does when there's a reason, and he can get a little embarrassing. I went on a cruise two years ago and in seven days he got drunk twice (although, we were on "the booze cruise" and then in a rum factory).
We usually shop at Zellers for discounted stuff, it's the closest to our house.
I wear a 5-7 in pants, but my problem is I'm only 5 feet tall, so my mom has to shorten all my clothes.
I don't have either one of Adam's CDs, but I've got all the music on my computer. I'm hoping to change that now that I have a stereo to play CD's on. Now all I have to do is find them.

T.J. Maxx and Marshalls are probably the closest cheap shops we've got here.
And they think if you're size 5-7, you've gotta be at least 5'7'. Oy, no thought about us shorter people.

I'm gonna go, because I've sat my butt here way too long. Toodles, anyone who's here.

Hello, how was your day?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 4:33pm

It's COLD here! Like, shiver in your pants cold. Now I have to unpack. For real. The play was... meh. I'm indifferent. It was deep and sad and all, so I should've liked it, but the writing was funny to me, as relevant as the themes of war and all were. meh.

It's cold here too. It started snowing again. I have to pack everything up tonight, and then unpack tomorrow. What play did you see?

[Fantabulous428]

Bonjour Em. Is it really that cold? I was planning on going out. I've watched so much What Not to Wear between last night and this afternoon that I felt the random desire to do some shopping.

When I was younger and still wore kid sizes, all of my pants were always too short. I'm not tall (even now I'm only 5'4"), but I've always had long legs, so I guess it balances out.

Em, sorry to hear you didn't really enjoy the play you went to see.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 4:45pm

I really want to go shopping, but I've GOT to unpack. Maybe tomorrow.

Everything's too short on me. Everything. meeeh.

I think I'm dragging my mom along because I don't want to go alone, but she usually pisses me off when we shop together.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 4:49pm

I'll go with you if you drag me out of my pajamas.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 4:51pm

You're in pajamas? Well then it's probably already a lost cause. Can I virtually drag you out of your PJs?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 4:52pm

Yeah, I changed when I got in. What was the use of being dressed up to bum around at home?

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 4:54pm

I'm not a big fan of shopping with my mom. When we go shopping together, we usually end up getting into a huge fight that involves her throwing all of my body-image issues right in my face. I was pleasantly surprised that didn't happen when she took me to the mall yesterday, but she had to go and bring up that grade I wasn't happy with in an attempt to cheer me up about it.

Heh, Em has the right idea. If you're going to stay in your room, might as well be comfortable. If I know when I wake up in the morning that I'm not leaving the house that day, I usually just stay in my pajamas so I don't waste clothes.

My mom always brings up my grades when we go shopping. It's sort of like she's saying "okay, I'm spending time with you and we're not fighting, so maybe NOW is a good time to bring up the absolute sorest of subjects."

[CanadianSnowbird]

My mom has finally figured out my anxiety triggers so we have a more peaceful shopping trip. She has learned that I need her hanging around the changing room so that I don't have to go all the way out. And she's finally getting how I don't have to walk into a store to know I don't like anything.

I'm still in my pajamas! I'm not going out today (grocery shopping can wait until Monday!), so I decided not to bother.

Okay, PRESENT! It's not Adam, but it's my choral ensemble singing Music of the Night from a concert this summer. I'm so proud. I can upload the rest of the CD if anyone's interested. It was a world music concert, so there's a really cool African piece, one from Hawaii, a French-Canadian one, a mass from Scotland, and some other great stuff. I hope you guys like it!

In my case, it was more like, "see, we managed to go shopping without wanting to kill each other. Now, let's talk about that C+ you got in Calculus - I know you're upset and don't want to talk about it, but I'm really proud of how you did overall this semester even if you're not."

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 5:03pm

Pretty, Allie!

My mom doesn't try to make me feel better about my grades, at all. She just uses the fact that we're not already mad at each other to bring it up.

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 5:04pm

We had to discuss grades and my future at dinner last night. It also makes for some horrible phone calls during the year.

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 5:08pm

I have a grade I haven't told my mom about yet. It's not bad at all, I just thought I was going to do better in the class. I think I'll hold off on that discussion until after we shop.

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 1/7/06 at 5:08pm

My parents think I'm way too self-critical and that I keep things inside too much when I'm upset. Even though I'm happy that they're pleased with my grades, it does kinda piss me off when they're happy with a GPA I don't think is good enough. For example, I got an A- in 2 of my classes this past semester, and while they think that's wonderful and amazing and blah blah blah, I was really counting on an A in at least one of those classes, so it bugs me.
