The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part three — Page 534

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."

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.

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

Hello, how was your day?

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?

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.

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.

---

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

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 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.

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."

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

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.
