say something about ... yourself!

Curry makes me nervous still from that Rocky Horror thing I despise.

But his Darkness character, yes. Someday I will get a costume like that and frequent churches on Halloween.
 
Leave home. I can't recommend that enough. Leave early and move far away. It worked wonders for me back when.

I cannot stress this enough.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but moving to another continent has worked wonders for me. My family has always been really great, yet a bit pushy. It was always, "You have to do this or you FAIL AT LIFE!!!!", which I always challenged. I think that's where I get my stubbornness, though.

A couple of years ago when i went home, I found that I had things to talk about with them and that they were asking me questions instead of giving me advice. It was nice.

It has it's drawbacks, however. I've always wanted people just to leave me alone and that's probably why I'm so happy here...it's like I'm out of reach. I'd like to see them more often but it's not enough of a reason to bring me back. I discovered that I have absolutely, positively nothing in common with anyone there. There is nothing to talk about. I can't hold a conversation with them without it turning into a Q and A session. When I do talk about things that are important to me I feel like I'm talking down to them because they can't relate. I don't like that feeling.
 
Still adjusting to life with no internet/cable at home. It hasn't been too bad as I've been fairly able to find ways to occupy my time, most of which involve not being at home. Once I get there, however, it's actually quite boring. All I really do at home anymore is sleep.

I'm going to give it a couple more weeks and see how it goes. Chances are I will hook up my internet again before too long, hopefully I'll have a new computer by then. The cable is gone for good though. I'm just going to get a Netflix acct instead. $10 a month is way better than the price of cable TV that I will never watch anyways.

Funny thing, I told my parents that I cancelled my cable and my dad was pretty much blown away. I think he was honestly dumbfounded that I would do such a thing. He says "How the... why... but what about..... wow... you cancelled your TV?!?! How are you going to watch the Seahawks games this year?" When I just shrugged and said "I don't know", I could practically hear his mind being blown. He said he would buy me rabbit ears and a conversion box just so I could have the basic channels. I told him I'm not really worried about it and I'm kind of enjoying life without cable and he reacted like I just proclaimed I don't need water to survive or something. The discussion ended at that point with him going "Well fine, ok then..." and walking off like I just told him he was an asshole. I think he was really offended that I turned down his offer to provide TV for me.
 
yeh i dont have cable, netflix is where its at. they even have tv series, and you can watch em in chunks with no commercials! and you can watch current shows on Hulu, Surfing the Channel, etc anyway. internet + netflix has it all pretty much covered. you can watch the Seahawks at a friend's house or a bar (more fun anyway).
