Ok, as some of you know, I posted a message a while back asking for ways to convince my mother to let me move out at 17 to live with my sister when she finally got a place. I never got a chance to say thanks to all you guys, because most of the ideas you gave me I used, and it worked--sort of.

My mom said that IF my sister got a place, I could live there three days a week. It's not exactly everything I wanted, but it's more than I'd usually get out my mom. That was probably a month or so ago.

Tonight, my sister calls me from her boyfriends house, hysterically crying. All she's talked about for a year or so was getting her own place and moving out, and tonight, she and her boyfriend put a deposit on the perfect three bedroom, two bathroom trailer in the perfect location. I kept asking her "what's wrong? Why are you crying? This is great!" and she finally admitted she was going to miss being here, at "home". We're uberclose it's crazy, we share a room, and we usually talk each other to sleep at night. She says she just can't get used to the idea of me not being there everyday, and then I realized "holy crap, she's not going to be here everyday!". I know it sounds lame, but then we both started crying over the phone, lol.

I convinced her it would definitely turn out for the better, and then we agreed to be Winchesters about it and have absolutely no more chick flick moments because that's just not how we roll.

Anyway, it's nothing exciting or provoking or anything like that, but I needed somewhere to kind of get it off my chest and loungin' seemed the best bet. I'm going to miss my sister like crazy, but living with her for three days out of the week will be awesome because it'll definitely be "our" place. Her boyfriend is cool as shit, and he's going to teach me how to play guitar, plus I get to decorate both bathrooms, lol. It's just going to take tims to get used to us not being with each other all the time.

And again, thanks to all the suggestions the first time around! I appreciate it more than you guys know, because you truly helped me deal with my semi-psycho mom.

Peace!

I feel you, being a twin myself (i know you're not...but just follow me for a second), i couldn't imagine being too far away from my brother. Some people are close to their siblings, especially if you've had little else in your life.

grats on all of it, i s'pose.
