I really hope that you're able to come to some sort of conclusion over this whole thing. I'm more than certain that you'll make the best decision, in the end! Being able to at least let some things out reaallly do come as a relief, even if it's just "hey! A lot of my friends are online!" I also hope that your parents will be somewhat understanding over the whole thing. ♥

BUT, OMG. Seeing Pirates together = automatic win. I can drive now and have my own car, so planning should be a little bit easier than before. I'm so for it.
