I've been thinking... *watches everyone fall over*

[fiarra]

So yeah... uneventful day really. Some funny philosophy moments. We are still discussing Plato's Symposium. The definite high-light of my day was hearing my prof. explaining the floaty-lovely view of love. "love loves soft lighting.... mellow music... incense... flowers... candy.... and pillows!! love looooooooves pillows." Direct quote right there. He cracks me up. Oh yes, and how could I ever forget his analogy for soul-mate searching. Apparently, it is like the key and lock. You are the key, and to find your soulmate, you must try out the key in different locks to find a match. o_O There wasn't a serious student in the room at that moment. Anyway... day... blah... moving on.

Due to popular demand (well one person really), I am going to attempt another 15 min ficlet tomorrow and post that. I figure I can go find one of the old words and use that. I still don't know where that last story thing came from, but there you have it.

OK... so I was thinking tonight. And I came to one final conclusion. I have to tell my parents about my boyfriend. No lies, no hiding. I won't be able to keep it up during the summer. And they already suspect something since last month I brought up the possibility of finally getting the internet at home. And well... it didn't go over so well. So yeah... I think they need to know. I think if I tell them in a mature manner, they will be able to respect my decision as my own choice. I'm not so sure I wanna tell them this weekend though... I dunno. I was thinking of maybe writing my mom a very long e-mail. I'm afraid if I tell her to her face and she flips out, that I'll get upset and ruin it. I have till Saturday to decide anyway. But that's all I can conclude right now after much thinking over the past few weeks. *sigh* Anyone have any thoughts???

letter/email is absolutely the way to go. I don't care if you leave it at home when you leave or send it to arrive after you get back to school but giving them the chance to think and settle down is essential. (after you've made a very clear argument for why this is a rational thing for you to be doing and safe and all that) Then when you actually talk to them they will be more accustomed to the idea and better able to actually listen.

good luck!!

I hate to sound like a parent. But honesty is always the best policy. They would prefer to hear from you now, rather than hear from when of their friends who saw you two making out.

Yeah... I thought an e-mail or letter would be the best. I hate confrontation...

I won't be doing a letter though. Definitely an e-mail, most likely to both of them. That way both hear it straight from me. With a letter, it's too easy for me to take it back at the last second.

Oh god... this is gonna be a hard thing to write. It has to presented right or I will be royally screwed. Thanks for the support!! *hug*

No prob on the sounding like a parent. You're right. Honesty is the best and that's why I'm coming clean now..

Yeah... you missed the twist to this story though... There would be no chance of anyone catching us making out because as of now it is a strictly internet relationship. If it weren't, they would know already. SO yeah... there you have it.

Yay for honesty!
