Hm. Was /almost/ on time to Asian Civ this morning. Then kept shifting around on the stairs... my hips are /so/ not happy with me.
Had a fight with my mom last night... well, what equated to a fight between two of the most non-confrontational people I know...
Mom thinks (feels really... emotion over logic - Enneagram 9) that I'm not caring about college. That I'm wasting thier money. Now, I can see where she's coming from, because I spend a lot of time with my friends and I don't do a lot of obvious homework. She also feels that I'm not doing any work around the house... which I can't see as much. I do dishes, I clean whenever she asks me. I try to keep my stuff from overflowing the living room. Really, I just need to be out of the house... without Arella to counterbalance, I'm just a slacker freeloader. For the most part, it isn't too bad. I see her for maybe 5 hours a week, because our schedules really don't match up well.
I just don't know what to say to her. She won't be decisive and lay down any rules for the house, because she wants to let me make my own mistakes... but she gets really upset over things and won't say anything until the worst possible moment when she's angry and I'm tired, sore and just got back from driving in the cold. The fact that I couldn't stand or sit for long periods without my hips and legs threatening to give out didn't help either. Luckily I can still drive...

Dad was being remarkably ok this weekend... apart from picking a bad time to have a deep talk. I managed to tell him somethings that have been upsetting me (the first two or three that came to mind... I remembered 10 more the next day when I talked to him, but I was asking for a $390 check, so I didn't mention anything.
I also talked to Ivana a bit, about presents for her family and a few other things... I wonder if she's gotten her drivers licence yet.

Then flashback. The party was wonderful. I'm so glad to have heard that so many people enjoyed it. Thank you so much for everyone who helped set up and clean up, it's never gone so smoothly before and that was a big relief. Special thanks to Craig for dealing with all the technical stuff, stealing his parents uber-cool sound system and dealing with lots of random requests. *hugs* I hope you had fun too!
I was glad to see so many new people (though I know most were there for Nikki's party)... and see that many of them danced and had fun. Also, I hear that even the people who sat out weren't bored silly, so that's good to know.

Now I need to go make a new photo appointment and get the photos sent to Kansai (they refused my photocopies...), and get some food before work. ^_^
Ja, bai-bai!

Bishonen: Schu and one other that my brain won't let go of...
