      how do I convince my mom to let me buy a domain name

      Its the perfect domain name for me... a russian company just accidentally let it expire and I'm trying to explain it to her that If we dont act now someone will snatch it up and we will be out of luck. I have the money (for a decent hosting plan its 84 bucks a year inclucing the domain, I just got 650 for my birthday so its not like im broke) but i need a credit card to make the payment. This is where my mom comes in, I told her to simply hand me the monthly bill from godaddy and I'll take care of it every month, and If i dont, simply dont pay it and let it expire but she said she just doesnt want to do anything for me. GAH its really frustrating cause its not like a toy from the store its a peice of the internet real estate thats up for grabs and has only been for a few days now. She doesnt understand anything about technology and could care less about the needs of a nerd but its just frustrating. I asked my dad but he said he wont go behind my moms back. I would ask my aunt+uncle but unfortunately they are on a honeymoon and I dont wanna bother them. Any advice?

      And the domain is for an internet show that me and my friends are making.

      it has no format really

      We've got some really good segment ideas compiled and I want to FUCKING GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD already

      we can't start until we have the domain bought

      nobody in their right mind says "www.***.com" in public or on camera when they DONT EVEN OWN IT YET

      because you never know when someone might buy it, and if they do, then all the footage becomes useless. This is what my mom doesn't get. I'm sick of having no control anymore... The most frustrating part is she always says "You need to get off the computer... go do something withyourself" and I'm like HELLO YOU FUCKHEAD I AM TRYING TO... well not really but its just so frustrating

      the worst part is she shows me things on the news of like the kids with websites like the milliondollarhomepage and the red paperclip guy... "why can't you do something like that??? you're smart, why don't you start a website like that"

      SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING

      But what I'm going to do is ask my aunt to buy the domain name (my mom won't know) and then I'll just say that my friend bought it for me

      or maybe I'll just go live with my dad

      I just realized that theres nothing better about this place than where my dad lives except the school thingy

      if that doesn't work then its oregon for me

      my dad has a brain

      my mom does, she just can't find it

      I'm rambling

      COOL
