Even though I really barely know you, I am extremely gratified by your response. I mean...I have so much trouble even knowing what I want; but that you *know* for a fact, and that you stand by it -- thats awesome. And why is it that parents always spring things in the car!? Curse you Ford, look what you've started!!!! T_T

As an "auntie," I can totally see where your mother is coming from, as you too saw it. But no. I really do believe if something is that important to you, you stay and fight, and thats what you're doing. I mean, I can't imagine how hard it is for you over there. I live in New York City, and we've still got the same stuff going on, slightly better, I'll admit, but *still*. Arghhh. Well hey, maybe you can appease you mom with an heir? I once joked with my dad that my brother might be gay in the middle of a duscussion of the succession of our family and my dad said "as long as he continues the line, i dont give a fuck what he does". Perhaps..mad greek style?? ...o_O Sorry, I'm like a drug pusher with mad greek style .>> But anyway, dude, you awesome XD And life might suck for you for a while, but it would suck if you denied yourself -- but you knew that ^^;;; Waaa~ ~glomps~
