Cable! And Mysterious Unexplained Trips to Oxnard.

[hafital]

Okay, I've been cable deprived for a long time now, but my dad hooked up the cable in my room and I have once again numerous useless tv channels right at my fingertips. Yay! None of the movie channels, but that's okay.

And um, while I wasn't looking they started airing MacGyver on TV Land. :::twitch:::

In other news, I have suddenly become the family chauffeur. I would complain, but I have nothing else to do at the moment and they need me. sigh. I moved back home just in time, I think.

I told my mom I was going to be gone for a few days next week.

"Oh, that's nice. Where are you going?"

"Ah, to see my friends."

"Where?"

"Ah, Oxnard?"

"Oxnard. There's nothing to do in Oxnard."

"Ah.... Yeah."

hoo-boy. *g*

Er, she's very good at not pressing when I obviously don't want to explain further, but I'm notoriously bad at lying to her.

I could, of course, just tell her about it, but then she's going to want to read the fiction, and that is just not happening, people. Nuh-uh.

I did tell her about vidding, although she has yet to see a vid, but that's easier since she knows editing and things, and that's not, you know, nearly as explicit, or anything. Hm, I wonder how long I can keep the smoke screen up.

The funny thing is, I don't want her to know more because I worry she's going to think it's a waste of time (and that I should be writing more original fic) than because it's slash, or homoerotic. This is mostly my neurosis, but still. Let's keep everything hidden. Hide! *g* *sticks head in sand*

It eased up somewhat when I compared it to the effort, time, and money she's invested in amateur figure skating.

This is something I like to point out, too. That everyone spends obscene amounts of time and (usually) money on things that everyone else doesn't. It's tiresome when some hobbys (for lack of a better word) are considered acceptable, while others are not.

It's somehow worse than drugs. It does have that kind of a stigma. I am quite fortunate that, while I'm going to do my darnedest not have my parents wise up to the fanfic and slash, should they find out it wouldn't really be all that bad. Embarrassing, yes, because they're my parents, but not too bad. I think, anyway.
