Mom found out I have a digital camera. She's OK with it though. The only thing that bothered her was the fact that I didn't tell her about it right away. She seems to think I'm too secretive and hiding stuff from her. Well, I am a bit, but it's not like I'm a deviant or engaging in anything immoral or anything. I'm just active in stuff she wouldn't

I don't see why you would have to hide buying a camera from her, but that's just me. There are a lot of things I don't tell my mom either, but it's because she could care less about them. *ker-sigh*

Good luck with the applications!

Well, it had something to do with the fact that she had mentioned sometime that she was upset with people getting digital cameras before she was able to since she's very serious about photography. I just wanted one so I would have a nice one for regular pictures. I don't plan on using it for anything major.

I should just explain that to her.

I think I was just being paranoid.

I'm thinking of changing my layout too. I like the new squares style.

[snapdragon76]

Yeah, I like it too.

The only thing I don't like is I don't have easy access to my userinfo and I can't change what the music and mood text say.

I may cahnge my background image to what I have as my wallpaper on my desktop. I haven't decided yet.

TOTALLY same thing with my dad. I just do my own thing and if he finds out about something like... Well I can't think of something off the top of my head. He gets annoyed that I didn't tell him. First off, its not like we talk so :P I only tell him what I need to tell him. He doesnt understand anything about me anyway, we are two completely different people.

Exactly. I sometimes feel like I'm in a marriage or something. I guess it has something to do with it just being the two of us. How do I explain to her that I have my own life and my own interests that have nothing to do with her without hurting her feelings. I mean, I love my mom dearly, but we're two seperate people with seperate interests. She seems to take everything so personally and that I'm trying to shut her out of my life. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Plus, she sems to thing my being unemployed is somehow a fault of hers. It isn't. It's a fault of mine. It's something I need to work on, but I'm getting there gradually.

We need to have a talk and hopefully she won't get defensive like she usually does.

And wow, that was longer than I expected it to be!

Lol that sounds like both of my parents rolled into one almost.

That's kinda scary, actually.
