@chai2,
Ya lol you probably have alot more problems than I do as an adult but just to show that I'm not some sassy little b*tch worrying about if I can look cool with a date to prom...come take a look at my world: (perhaps this may shed some insight as to why I'm so worried about these little details?)
1) My mother is extrememly protective...
--> she checks my phone everyday for messages AND comments on them
this has happened to the point where I've had to download an app to hide all my messages with any girl I flirt with over text
--> she's grounded me because I have games on my phone
--> she comments on what people post on facebook...as me.
--> with Kate, I had to ask her to prom behind my moms back. She said I could go to prom with a date but I can't ask anyone...(wtf)
--> the reason I said no when Kate asked me out was because not only did I feel it was forced, my mother has told me I can't date till SECOND YEAR UNI. (I'll pass off with a hang out with a girl THIS summer)
--> I got accepted into a good university so my mom said you can go out on dates now. I ask Kate out. She says yes...THEN my mom said she never said it and that I', putting words in her mouth. thus, I cannot follow up...
--> I cannot listen to music
--> she has grounded me before by ripping up books in my room
--> I'm a writer and she has threatened and has deleted my word doc twice...
Probably nothing compared to your problems but may explain why I want to get this thing going and great?
