My mom and Michael just gave me a huge lecture about Tyler and me.

I can see where they're coming from, but according to my mother we can't go see him unless she gets to know him more.

Her way of getting to know people is in person so I'm completely confused on what the hell she means.

How can she get to know him before we go up there when she has to meet him to get to know him?

Then Michael pulled the whole, "O

"I'm a guy, so I know how he thinks, and you will never understand how men think."

No, I won't. Believe me, I don't want to know. I know guys think about sex a lot, but so do women. Women are just as sexual, but we are...

more "civilized" about it? I don't know how to phrase it.

Then my mom used the "YOU'RE MY BABY AND YOU'LL BE 18 SOON" card and I wanted to shoot myself.

Michael is convinced I want to grow up right now, but I don't. Yes, I want to go and do, but at the same time I don't want to have that kind

of responsiblity.

I don't want to have to worry about bills, college, cars, settling down, etc, but I know I need to think about it soon. I just like being

prepared. I don't like walking into situations without anything planned out. I have about six things I could go to college for if my main..

dream fails. My back-ups have back-ups. I don't want to sound mean or narcissistic, but I'm more prepared now than my sister was when she

18. I'm more prepared than she is right now, and she's married and thinking about kids.

My mother kept stressing that I'm not an adult yet, but she needs to face the fact that I've had more responsibilities by now than most

people have by the time they're thirty.

Anyways, I guess I'm done for now.
