I know this is probably an "I get it" but I am irritated by living in my house. Any little thing just pisses me right off anymore. Just a little more than 3 months. Just a little more than 3 months.
I'm also irritated by my friend who keeps telling me that I'm not going to know what to do with myself and hate it. No, I'm going to love the fact that every second of my life is no longer going to be scrutinized. I will be able to do what I want, when I want, without my parents questioning it. Who doesn't love that?

Gah. This irritates me. It should be painfully obvious by now that "the nation as a whole" does not agree on ANYTHING, much less whether <em>liberal</em> or <em>conservative </em>is the dirtier word.
The pro-choice thing is one of those topics that really get me riled up, I can feel my blood pressure rising just with the idiocy of some of the information that's been posted in here. "They shouldn't oppose to being penetrated"? For the love of God, someone please get that man out of office...

Personhood in MS is a big issue with me (as my FB folks would know) - is the Personhood initiative in VA the same thing as what they've tried to pass here? ("Personhood" starts at conception)

Midge, J and I weren't allowed to sleep in the same room at his parents house before we were married. Even when we lived together and would go and visit them for a weekend! Hah. We still usually snuck into one of the rooms with the other person after an hour or so of sleeping.

I lived with my parents for a year after living alone for 3 years of college, so for my last year I was at home. I actually weirdly loved it. But I hang out with my family by preference more than I hang out with friends, so I'm weird.

<div>Loops is right, maybe it's sleep apnea? The other thing that comes to mind is tonsils. Has he had his tonsils removed? I think I've heard that sometimes snoring is a sign that tonsils need to be taken out. I could be making that up.</div>
Midge I am lucky that FI and I already live together but my parents are the same way for a long time we had to sleep in separate rooms now we sleep on their sectional couch on the different parts. It sucks I just deal with it to keep arguing to a minimum.
Midge - H and I weren't allowed to sleep in the same room at my parents house before we were married either. And we lived together for 6 years before we got married.. but atmy parents house - separate bedrooms (and "my" room at my parents has 2 twin beds in it.. still separate ROOMS). They are 8 hours from us though so we didn't go there more than once or twice a year.
Celles- do you think your opinion might have something to do with where you live? You live in Arizona right? Thats a red state, so maybe since its really accepted there to be conservative, you might not be able to understand where we are coming from?
