@nick, hilj: well, i'm pro-life. but i am not about to call any of you murderers, except if you try to kill _me_.
@rahvin: you are about to make me proud. that should make you feel better. have a nice ride with your cargo. :p
 
thanks everyone.
I tried to talk to my mom and she won't even listen to me. she "researched it thoroughly for an hour and a half", which included looking at the venue, the maps, and getting directions. etc. this means she knows more than me about how horrible "death bands" are. Doesn't matter if I've been listening to this type of music for over 5 years (starting with In Flames when I was 10). she's not reasonable at all. she insists nobody my age is even allowed to go to concerts near where they live.
my dad was glas I was interested in a lot of music. even though he didn't really like it, a few years ago he said he would take my brother and I to Ozzfest because we wanted to go. My mom uses the excuse "your father wouldn't have wanted you to either" a lot. my dad told my brother that if it was up to him he would have let him stay out a lot later and more often (he died when I was 14 so I didn't really do anything then).
My mom tells me that I'v gone to three concerts and I should be happy with that... at last rough count of shows I've wanted to go to and missed(even being conservative with if I would be able to go) was well over 100 (In Flames every time since Colonization... I would've gotten into DT years ago then too :()
Maybe my brother will try to reason a bit more...
then again, reasoning with my mom is worthless....
 
well, steve, i see your point and i've suffered too because of the stern discipline imposed unto me by my father when i was younger.
the only words of comfort i have for you are: you'll grow older, make money, move out, and be free. it's not like your time is running out now. no matter what you believe at the moment, one can still enjoy metal shows at 25 and later. :p
so - i even think, as i believe i stated before on this forum, that it's correct to be forced to follow other people's rules when you don't earn your keep - it shows you, albeit roughly, that there's no free meals, and you'll more probably grow up to be a person who can tolerate pain better than those who've been mollycoddled (no offense towards anyone who's had or currently has tolerant, enlightened parents: i actually mean to be one when i'll have the chance). in short, look at the bright side, even though it's hard to see one now. i reckon that there is superstition in what is keeping you from shows, but this will make you fight harder, study harder to get a good job soon and move out, concentrate harder on what you want.
 
I feel you on that oen man... the woman I live with is possessive as fuck... it will get better though.. we'll all grow, and leave, and then it will be easier to deal with because you will be free of any obligations to listen because you will be a free adult

although i see your point and respect what you say, I actually get a bit over $1000US per month for being in school and passing my classes (from the govt.) because my mom has a low income... and I could easily not do that and put a lot less effort in.
 
@hyena: and that's right, you (and here i mean a general "you" not only you yourself :p ) have your beliefs, and i respect them, i'd never come to tell you "you are stupid cause you think this" as long as i'm respected too, cause when a person starts to try to convince me of his/her beliefs and tells me i'm wrong/stupid/a murderer because i have a different opinion then i lose every respect i could ever have for this person. especially if s/he is a teacher supposed to discuss stuff with us, not lobotomize us

@rahvin: heh, she didn't know that :p
(btw, i'm starting to blame myself for asking you so sad songs :hypno: )

NF: why can't i sleep? why i feel like my eyelids are so open that they could actually leave my skull skinless right now? why why? i have to wake up early tomorrow
 
@Steve - I'm really sorry man. I've been in the same position many a time before. Eventually reasoning got through to my mom, but a good portion of it (i admit) is that i'm (for now) in the city and away from her.

Although, speaking of Ozzfest, definitely try and make it this year. I just got an email that Slayer, Dimmu Borgir and Lacuna Coil will be playing :OMG: :cool: :OMG:

I disagree. I wish I had more experiences and opportunities to do more things when I was younger. I'm 24 and almost 25... I feel old and I regret not doing a lot of things. When people are young, they have more time to have fun and experience life. I can't speak on behalf of everyone else, but like I mentioned before, I feel old and I have to take life seriously and a lot of my free time is gone. :(


NF: Old.
 
nf: :hypno:, :hypno:, :hypno:

head crowded with thoughts, and dizziness due to lack of sleep. today i'm gonna have to memorize a list of people i'll meet later tonight 800kms from here in order to understand who's on my side and who isn't. i tend to forget what my side implies because i'm quite tired, but hyena will remind me.
i'm also ready to leave here at around 5pm and drive into the night for about 7 hours, carrying with me an enormous package that goes by the name of amy. i'll be in rome until monday, but i'll probably check the board regularly anyway.

i feel oddly good - and retrospectively nervous, if such a thing even exists - about a call i received last night...
 
rahvin: If you haven't slept anything, should you really be driving then? :(

Villain: Sure, use it. No ©'s here.

Steve: For what it's worth, I feel for you. :(

hyena: I don't agree with you. Of course you values freedom if you have been in prison, but that doesn't makes it good to be in prison. IMO, young people living at home should do their fair share of household chores (among them: passing one's classes to get government grants), and therefore have their fair share of personal freedom, like going to concerts which isn't illegal, neither it is physically nor mentally dangerous. It does cost a sum of money, but if the person in question can afford it by himself, there's no reason for not letting him go.

NF: Tomorrow I'll be going to see Lefay live! :hotjump: OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

i probably shouldn't, but i've had my share of training when it comes to driving in less-than-perfect conditions. in fact, it's been around four days since i've slept last, but i've faced worse.
thanks for caring anyway: tomorrow in the morning i'll let you all know i have arrived alive and, hm, well. ;)
 
NF: Mucho pain. Slipped on an icy patch on my way home from uni yesterday but thought no more about it. Then the pain kicked in at about 12am last night, and I've been unable to sleep or move my leg much since, my dad examined it and said it looks like I've strained the interior cruchiet ligaments in my knee twisting it as I fell, and it's going to be pretty useless for the next few days, but painful for about a week. Fun fun :rolleyes:
Typical, I had a seminar I wanted to get to today :lol:

Edit: Actually letting you know what I had injured, seeing I seemed to leave that out. Thanks CoT :lol:
 
@D_J: hope you get better soon :)

@Steve: i agree with hyena on the fact that you'll have lots of time anyway, and that this situation can make you stronger in the future.
_but_ i think it's better to be more free and have experiences, my parents are very permissive(spelling??) they leave me go out with the people i want as long as i think they're good people (of course they want to know something about them), so far i've never been wrong (not that every person i hung out with was good, just i never put myself in trouble and i learned a lot from everything i did), thanks to them and to how i grew up i think now i'm able to take my decisions, and i know my parents are here if i need advice. this doesn't mean that they don't care, bu that they trust in me and i really appreciate it. then i do "my part" cleaning the house and stuff like this, and of course studying.
now, i know all this isn't going to help you, i was just..:err: saying my opinion :)

well, i certainly agree with many of the posters above that it's better to have more freedom. still it seems to me hyena's point was that even if you happen to have very strict parents there's (a) lessons to be learned about hierarchies in society; (b) stimuli to be gathered in order to achieve freedom by yourself sooner; (c) penty of time to catch up on what you've missed later on.
