HI MOM!

[sorcyress]

So, my most recent post spawned a metaquote from the comments. A good part of the comments of *that* post were discussing the idea of having your mom's on livejournal with you.

Which is one of those threads which make me just lean back smugly in my chair and smirk. Because my mother *is* on livejournal, and has been for longer then I have. But because my mom is so phenomonally cool, I don't really care.

So yeah. I know that we've got the whole familycluster of me and Aly and Mum around here, and I believe that efbq and scooterbird's eldest daughter has an elljay that she never posts in. What other family groups are there around you? Would you use more postfilters if you knew your parents were reading this stuff?

Yeah, I'm in a weird mood. Much too worn out to be trying to be intellectual.

***

Anywho, so today is 420, which is apparently like "National Stoner Day" or something. On the plus side, this means that there haven't been as many kids in school today for some...strange...reason. >> <<

On the minus side, of the four kids who sit closest to me in math, I'd bet that at least three of them were stoned. This means that, A) I had no one sensible to talk to (which is bad) B) I wound up having to listen to their utterly inane conversation, and C) I walked out of that class feeling like I just sucked down a joint myself.

So lunch pretty much started with me grabbing LittleJerry and going "I need intellectual stimulation, damnit! Talk about something smart!!" Which means I got into a nice discussion about intellegent life on other planets and other science stuff I don't remember. It was cool.

***

Kung-Fu wise, this has been the most gruelling week pretty much ever. Sifu hasn't been here (Why are classes harder when the teacher isn't here?) so on Tuesday we spent the entire class doing stancework (Hold your horse stance for two minutes. Lower. LOWER!) and yesterday, we spent the entire class doing assorted types of strengthening. Which yes, included more stancework.

Personally, I'm shocked I can still move. All my muscles hurt. *pouts*

On the plus side...um...It's good for me?

***

Prom is tomorrow. Woo. I have a dress, and fancy shoes, and dinner plans. And a date, of course --the amazing Nathen. So yeah, I'm set.

Annnnnnnd, there's nothing else to say about prom.

***

Drama continues to breed like mold on a slice of old bread. I'm guessing that some of it is just people realizing that we leave school soon, and they have to get all the drama out now.

***

Ultimately, life is good. I need to type up a weekly report for the WombatKing, but besides that, I haven't all that much to do. Which means I can work on cleaning my room and orginizing that giant stack of papers I've got --Aiee!

Talk to you Kats, Kittens, STG's, etc later!

MOOP!

I know my parents read my LJ. And I know that my boyfriend's parents and family have read parts of my LJ before, though I don't know how often they read it. I think my dad did get an LJ account, but I don't think he uses it. Actually, I forget what his username is.

[muzikmaker21.livejournal.com]

Yay! Prom!

I'm wearing my shoes today at work, too =-)

Prom:

[thirdbase.livejournal.com]

Pictures!

I can't picture either of you dressed up, so damnit you'd better post them!

'Course the one time I wore a skirt in high school, I was asked if I had a funeral to go to, so I don't have a whole lot of space to bitch.

[harena.livejournal.com]

just as soon as your mum adopts me, i'm part of yours ^_^

actually, i think my eldest had an elljay for a short time but then deleted it. i hang out on the trekbbs where he's an admin (where "hang out" means "lurk until he IMs me a thread & says "'POST!!'"), though, does that count?

[shuttergal.livejournal.com]

Dude, statistically, I believe that you are at the pinnacle time for drama. HS drama is mostly behind you, big life changes/moving/college drama ahead... keep breathing. It is all just life, and filled with goodness as well as drama. Just remember, just try and take the next right step. Even if that is plunking yourself down right where you are for a while.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

*smiles* You're such a sweetie! Thank you, and I'll try my best to just be mellow about it all and take care of myself.

I would definitly filter my journal there are some aspects of my life that I really don't want my parents to know, such as that I am back in college. The filter for my wife is used when I am looking for a new restaurant or a birthday present for her so that filter already exists since she has been on livejournal longer than I have.

I am twice your age( I think literally but might not be until your birthday) and still don't want my parents to find out things about my life.

[bfudlmint.livejournal.com]

Nope I just checked. You won't be half my age until August.

[mysticturtle.livejournal.com]

In a moment of weakness before I went to London I gave my Dad the URL to my journal, but he's not a member so if I want to talk about stoned people I just put it under friends only. It has made my public journal a bit more squeaky clean.

Awww, you make me nostolgic for high school drama. And Prom! Please do take pictures.

[inparentheses.livejournal.com]

I added you.
Because, uh, you sound cool. If that's a good enough reason =)

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I totally missed this somehow. Okay, cool then.

In other news...Hi, I'm Sor! I'm crazy and stuff, and I approve of your journal --speaking of which, you mentioned that you've made your collegepick, but didn't say where. Do you mind if I ask?

Annnnnnnnnnd I'm out. SWOOSH! *runs away really fast while making airplane noises*

I would utterly adore it if my parents would read my journal. They are convinced that I am inviting evil into my life by having an internet journal. I'm convinced they're paranoid.

Re: the class being harder when teach is away, if you guys do it anything like everything I've done, then without the teacher the upperbelts are running class, and they have something to prove, so they prove it. I've seen differences from one place to the next over whether they're proving stuff to themselves, the teacher, or the students, but it's always a case of, "You're not taking me being in charge as a sign of imminent slackertude."

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense. I think the other part of it is that, when Sifu's actually here, we tend to do a lot of learning new parts of our forms or new attacks. When the intermediates are running class, we're more likely to do a lot of strengthening.

Yeah, stuff.

Also, the internet is for porn evil. Duh! Didn't you know that already? *grin*

Oooooooooooooooooooh yes.

I had the same thing happen not three years ago. Not fun at all.

[mikethegirl.livejournal.com]

End of year 13 at a girls' high school. Now that was fun! Hugs and tears all round, especially in the music department. Typical high-strung musicians.

[thorog.livejournal.com]

Fah. Co-ed's worse. When half your year group are hormone-drenched boys realising that they won't see the other half (who are, incidentally, the girls they've been lusting over for the past five years) again? That's fun. :P

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Co-ed is *hella* worse. I agree.

Not that I really have any expirience with an all-girls setting, but shh.

Incidentally, you lot go to high school for five years? Weeeeeeird.

[thorog.livejournal.com]

Primary - Year 1 through Year 6 - 5yo through 11yo
Intermediate - Year 7 through Year 8 - 12yo through 13yo
High School - Year 9 through Year 13 - 14yo through 18yo

Hey, I came over from metaquotes...and have friended you.

As for your question about parents on LJ, my mother (nor the rest of my family) would ever in a million years agree that LJ is cool, but if they did, there would be filters. At 24, my mother still likes to disapprove of things I do. So I try to keep her knowledge of the details to a minimum, because her MomSense knows all.

However, I hope my daughter decides to get on LJ (we created a Blogspot journal for her, but all she can really type is " jkfdl", so we write for her.)

[leighbug]

P.S. Drama doesn't end with HS. I had more drama in the 2 years of public college and at work (with all college students) than my whole life combined.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Awww! I love kidjournals. It's just nice to watch.

I am totally into being friended by random strangers off the interblag. Hmmm, when I put it that way, it doesn't sound *quite* as good. Oh well, what I'm trying to say is Welcome Aboard!

I can't gurentee I'll make any sense, or, at this point, even post in any reasonable fashion, but I'm egotistical enough to assume I'm funny.

~Sor

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, so *that's* where you came from! Good to know. *grin*

~Sor

[leighbug]

Wow, I read my comment and was like...I think that's from a reallyreallyreally long time ago...!

Having fun going back through old entries/old comment notifications?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Oh, always. I reread this thing constantly --that's kinda what my whole x years ago today project is all about.

Andumyeah.

~Sor

[leighbug]

Ahhh...that makes more sense. I think I may have missed that part about your project. I have a bad habit of missing an important sentence in a lot of stuff. Doesn't work well.

I'm afraid to read some of my old entries. Mostly because a lot of them were ridiculously emo.

Although, it would be interesting to go back and see where I was/where I am now...

Oh, now I want to do the x years ago today project!

If my parents read my LJ, I'd definitely have a post filter, and everything would go into it. Everything. Except perhaps for content-free link-posts that I never do, and explicit sex stuff (which I don't post nowadays because I really don't have any desire to), so mother can't do the "you don't trust me" guilt trip on her, and I don't care what she knows about that. (But then, I'd have another filter for the less traditional stuff that _hasn't_ yet come up in casual conversation.) We exist in such different universes that I don't think I'd want to spend enough time on explaining it all. Especially since she never gets it when I try. (Mother believes I will grow out of being bi, poly, sf-fannish, watching cartoons, and generally doing anything that she doesn't understand. Because it's all clearly a childhood fancy, you know, so when will I ever get serious?)

That said, my cousin and her husband read me.
