Today I had a talk with my folks about some things. They took the obvious few full in stride, regarding plans that had been made, and mostly only offered the alternatives we suspected they would try to in regards to monetary stability. None of it was forceful, but delivered in more of a "exploring all possibilities way" as they thought I was being too closed minded about things. Their suggestions WERE good, just not possible given circumstances. I can't blame them, just can't go with the "delay an extra year plan." They did seem to have second thoughts about it, but didn't take it back, when I noted that we'd have to pay for her living arrangements regardless of whether I went or not, so it would mean equal money spent. For some reason they just seemed to believe Maryland was more likely to have higher paying entrance level jobs.
I'unno.
And the first time I started practicing driving it took ages for me to get the hang of anything. In one day of practice after not doing it for what is probably about a year if not more, I'm comfortably parking, three point turning, and driving in calm rural areas with low speed light traffic, even with the hellish turns and hills and glaring evening sun. And ten times more confident than before, if far, far, far from perfect.
I think I've just grown since then.
Additionally, I had to write character descriptions for art today, and given that it's a friend doing them and I trust her to check for creative liberties as she goes to apply them, and get inspired and more complex and pretty as she gets into the character idea, I presented mini bios/overviews instead of only character physical descriptions.
I've noticed all of my characters start sane, and the more quickly I get interested in them and develop them, the more rapidly they degenerate from that point into various branches of manias, phobias, psychopathy, and obsession.
Huh.
