I agree with you about the parents. I used to lie to my parents all the time, now I am very honest with them and have found that they are much more accepting and much cooler than I ever thought. Also I am older now, and they realize that as an adult I an responsible and can make my own choices, but still, I've told them some crazy shit that I never ever thought they would have accepted. Looks like I have a lot to catch up on in this thread though. Also I love that picture of the blue world...what did you use to create that? It's just lovely.
