@Steve: That is bad. My parents first thought the music I liked was really weird, but now they've gotten used to it. I have to hide my message board and email use from them though. They'd never approve. It's a long story, but I also live in a "traditional" family, so things are sometimes different for me. You have my sympathies on this, and I hope things get better for you somehow... or at least, keep on hiding your cds and collection. What you're doing isn't wrong or illegal, so it's acceptable to do in the circumstances.
@Siren, RH: Your stories are not so great. :/ Hopefully you can all get through things as well.
@Shrieker: That's quite bad about your mother. I'm sorry.
