Why are people so anti-Kazaa/Morpheus? Okay, yes, spyware, etc. But if you toy with things properly, you can turn it off. (Or so it seems.)
Speaking of which, I FINALLY found Maison Ikkoku episodes! : D *is downloading* Also some X-Men Evolution episodes for Komrade. (They're all taking their sweet time to download, unfortunately.)
We're having one of my dad's friends over for dinner tonight. I can't stand having guests -- my parents have a very annoying habit of shooting me angry glares when I don't act ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and HOSTESSLIKE in front of whoever's visiting. When I was younger and had no clue about etiquette, I'd act even more awkward in front of people. This would infuriate my parents, of course, one of whom would end up dragging me into a separate room to give me a sharp lecture on how I shouldn't act like such a "spoiled brat." Believe me, this has happened more times than I would care to remember. It's not guests I mind, really. Having people over can be fun, if they're (genuinely) nice.
I've been getting into confrontations with my parents more often than usual. Maybe I'm just tense about going back to college. Maybe they're just tired from work. Maybe I've worn out my welcome at home. Who knows.
