I'm in the same situation, Billboard. This past summer, I think my mother was half convinced there was something going on between us. We got into a big argument about him having to sleep on our couch when he spent the night once, instead of the extra bed in my room. It was completely ridiculous, since, you know, he's GAY. She didn't know that, and it was very amusing for him to watch us fight about it.

My mother also doesn't believe in the gay-ness of several of my friends. Or doesn't want to, or something.

Okay, wow, lot of pages to read. Anyway, about the facebook thing...I know that was like ten pages back, but basically what happened is:

High school facebook was created in September. I already had a college facebook even though I'm not in college, and got a high school facebook account then, even though no one in high school really had one. When all the people from New Orleans came to our school, they told everyone about facebook and it got REALLY popular. Soon half the high school had one, and people were making groups about the teachers and being drunk and putting drunk pictures on their facebooks. And not just one, a few people had about 400 pictures of themselves, and maybe 20 of them were when they were sober. Anyway, one of the girls in my grade apparently told the Dean about facebook and he got on it and found all the pictures and said he was making a new rule and that if the pictures weren't off by the next week, then the people were going to get in trouble. Then apparently a lot of parents got called. And all this drama...and then we got an email saying that having an account that tells the name of our school or something is violating the Acceptable Use Policy and we have to delete them.

And oh yeah, my parents always ask who im talking to online too. They used to be much worse, but since I've gotten older they aren't as bad. I went in chat rooms a lot starting when I was only 9 and it used to freak them out. And actually I recently met a friend from an online website at the movies because it turned out that she lived in my city. It really freaked my mom out but the girl was really cool.

Unfortunately for me, my best friend is straight. My mom enjoys grumbling about how the girls he dates aren't good enough for him (and yes, the girl he took to prom was rather stuck-up, but the real reason my mom didn't like her was because she wasn't me).

Edit: princesskatt, that's crazy/sad that high school kids were putting up drunk pictures of themselves on Facebook. I've actually heard of security personnel at colleges logging on to Facebook to find out about drinking parties so they can bust them.

you can just call me katt. zzprincesskatt is too long =]. and yes, its really stupid. i was waiting for people to get in trouble because I have heard about people getting arrested and/or expelled for things like that at college. People are so stupid about what they put online.

siamese dream, your BWW, CB/IMDB, LJ routine sounds so much like mine it's scary. When no one's posting here, I end up on those boards.

I feel better about meeting people from BWW than most other places, because BWW is different. The interests of this board are so focused on Broadway, unless you were looking for something related to Broadway in the first place, you probably wouldn't find it. It's not like the psycho-crazy pedophiles are going to start posting here looking for young naive girls to lure away. They'll end up PMing Elphaba thinking it's a teenybopper and get the shock of their life

When I told my mom about staying with someone I actually met through BWW, I said it was through a friend at school and she demanded I explain how I met this (imaginary) friend, how she knew the BWW friend, how often I had seen the BWW friend. I'm an adult, but when I'm home, my mom still thinks I'm 13 and need her protection. Earlier, I was PMing someone here and she was looking over my shoulder reading it! And it was about her! I shut my laptop and told her that was rude. But she just got on my case about hiding things from her and imemdiately asked to see my grades for last semester (even though I'm missing 3 of my grades and I told her the two others and I honestly did lose it in my room). I can't wait to get back to school so she'll get off my case.

Okay im going to bed, I have to get up at 6:00 tomorrow. Goodnight!

Night, katt.

skittles, your mom sounds a lot like my mom with the overprotectiveness and needing to know everything. One of the biggest reasons I'm happy to be back at my dorm is that I can go online without that feeling that my mother is looking over my shoulder. I sometimes feel like a helpless little kid when I'm at home because that's how I'm treated, and I hate that feeling.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 1/15/06 at 2:11am

That's exactly how I feel when I'm at home. This afternoon, I was in this on-going fight with my parents because they were just assuming everything I said/did was wrong and they knew better. They ended up screwing up my plans for the whole day by second-guessing everything I did.

Now I'm off to bed. Three hours after my dad told me that I was up too late.

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 1/15/06 at 2:17am

Good night, skittles.

I think I'm going to go to bed now - it's been a long day, and I really need to get used to going to bed earlier than this.

I dunno about your harmlessness Em, I've heard some stories...

I got the guy thing in a more annoying way in junior high--like my mom and sisters wanting to know if I developed crushes so they could tease me about it. If executed well and the right words are chosen, this method could have a very long period of shutting them up about that.

Depending on the questions asked, though there's not much vary in them that's just how you choose your words...like let's say your mom says...Lilly(random name), are you dating/seeing anyone? If Lilly says no, mommy says something to well you better got started or what's wrong w/ you or tries to set her up, Lilly says something to the degree of well if you think it's that important, there is someone I find very attractive that maybe I'll pursue if you really think I should...mommy encourages...Lilly says okay, I'm gonna go call Marissa...mom, you'd love her, she's so nice, soo pretty. Mommy gets a horrified look on her face. Lilly says what, didn't you think I should be dating someone? It is months before Mommy brings up the subject again.

Okay totally could have shortened that by saying you say this, your mom says this, but making up names was fun. Anyway, something like that with the right parents can really do the trick.

Ok I'm back, and caught up. Tonight was, uh ... interesting. Let's just say that the people I was with were more willing to do things than I was, and one of them got a little forward and completely freaked me out. He apologized, but it still made the rest of the night awkward.
I'm cold from the walk back and my bed calls. I'll see you all at some point tomorrow. Updated On: 1/15/06 at 03:56 AM

I literally fell asleep at the computer last night. I don't think that's happened before. I was so incredibly tired and now I woke up with a sore throat. Yuck, I hate being sick.

BG, are you an only child? I'm just wondering because so many of the exchanges between our mothers and us seem very similar! My mom will also ask me about every single person she catches me communicating with online. Like you, she doesn't really know even a lot of my real-life friends beyond just their names, so it's essentially pointless for me to elaborate as to who I'm speaking to anyway.

I also have the problem of having a close male friend (I wouldn't call him my best friend, but we're very close). My parents want me to become romantically involved with him and I just... don't. First of all, I'm really not attracted to him. Secondly, I had the unfortunate experience of making a close male friend of mine a boyfriend last year and it turned out absolutely horribly. I'm sure the whole friend turned boyfriend thing can work in certain cases, but I'd never really want to try that again for a long time.

On another note, zzprincesskatt, that sounds like a situation our local private school and its students had. Instead of Facebook, the administration read students' Xangas where some students mentioned drinking or actually posted photos of them drinking. The students got into major trouble and protested that the school shouldn't be reading their journals in the first place. I think it's sad that the school's administration doesn't have anything better to do with their time than surf Xanga pages online, but on the other hand, why were the students stupid enough to post that sort of information about themselves online?

Oy, poor siamese. I make jokes about falling asleep at my computer all the time, but I don't think I've ever actually done it. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm actually not an only child - I have one brother who's 3 years younger than I am. I often feel as though my parents are a lot tougher on/more protective of me - I wonder if it's because I'm a girl or because he's the "baby" and I'm supposed to be setting a good example for him (which I believe I have). He tells my parents a lot more about what's going on with him than I do, but they get just as mad at him when he won't tell them something (and they tease him about crushes worse than they ever teased me).

I've seen the friends - turned - lovers thing go wrong too often to even think of wanting to try it. The girl who introduced me to my best friend had that kind of relationship with him - when I first met them in my freshman year of high school, they were what you might call "friends with benefits." They dated on-and-off for a while, but by senior year, he could barely stand to be near her - not that I could blame him after some of the things she'd done, but it was still sad to see.

That's really creepy that a school would be reading students' Xangas (heh, when I kept one senior year I b**ched about various aspects of my school fairly often - I would have been horrified if a school official had been reading that), but I can sorta understand why they might do it if the students had stuff in their Xangas that identified them as part of that school - the school has a reputation to uphold, and they're not going to want pictures of their underaged students drinking to be all over the Internet.

Yawn. I set an alarm for 11am "just in case" ... looks like that was a good idea after all. Now I have an hour and a little bit to get myself clean and fed so I can meet my friend at the movies for BBM!

CS - that really sucks. I'm sorry you were in that situation. I get frustrated with that kind of thing. It's like, I SHOULD be able to control the situations I'm in, but yet it never really feels like I can.

In happier news, when I was was at my parents house at Christmas my dad needed someone to pick something off AMazon so he didn't have to pay for shipping for some book he was buying. I convinced him to add on "Civilian" and he bought it for me! But since I'm not usually here I hadn't actually gotten it. Lucky for me, I was meeting a friend down here today and my parents are away for hte weekend so I crashed here and finally got my CD. Adam happiness. :) (I'm curious as to why my dad thinks that adding on a CD that costs more than 10 dollars is better than paying the 4 dollars in shipping...but I'm not complaining) :)

I'm up. I hate waking up in the afternoon, I feel like half the day is gone already.

I hate that feeling. I got up at 10:45.

I had a dream about Adam last night.

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 1/15/06 at 12:16pm

Yeah, but you can just stay up until 3AM to compensate.

Was it a fun dream Em? I had a dream about tornadoes, which wasn't that fun actually.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/15/06 at 12:20pm

I was working on this fundraiser -- setting up before it, actually -- and Adam showed up for it. I was sitting at a table with a bunch of other people, getting things together, and he came over to say hi. He was wearing that olive button-down shirt with the little wing kind of thing that he wore in Rent. We were talking, but it was really noisy, so I said I would get up and come around to his side of the (very big) table. I got up and went to him, and he gave me the biggest, cuddliest hug. We talked for a few minutes, and then he had to go.

Celebrity

To see a celebrity in your dream, represents your beliefs and understanding about him or her. Something in your waking life has triggered these similar beliefs and feelings. It is not uncommon that your obsession with a certain celebrity may carry over onto your dream world. Celebrities are often seen as heroes and all that is mighty. Also consider any puns within the name.

To dream that you are good friends with a celebrity, represents your idealized version of someone you know in your life. Perhaps you hope that a real-life friend can act more like a particular celebrity. Consider the qualities that you see in this celebrity and how you want your friends to have those qualities.

Noise

Alternatively, noise may represent a breakthrough in your personal struggles. Perhaps you have burst through a barrier of resistance which had been holding you back for a long time.

Hugging

To dream that you are hugging someone, symbolizes your loving and caring nature. You are holding someone or something close to your heart. Alternatively, it may indicate your need to be more affectionate.
