EDITED

I have parent fear. *chuckle* It's been nearly a year since my parents have seen me, and in that time, let us tally our alterations;

- one new bridge piercing
- one new labret piercing
- one lack of haircut

I am a new man, physically speaking (I'm pretty much a different person emotionally as well, but that's a lot more complex, maybe I'll come back to that). Now, before the fear is justified in the eyes of a random outsider, one must understand the parents. My first helix piercing was "fruity". There was tumult over the tongue piercing. I have fear about the reactions I'm going to get over my choices of appearance. I'm becoming quite used to being master of my own destinty, as it were, and I don't want them to be angry about it. That would sadden, but not surprise me.

Kelowna in general, however, I am very excited to return to. I want to see all the things I've seen before in a new light. I want to be the one coming back with the big-town attitude. I want to see the people I was scared to tell my opinions to. I want to tell my enemies exactly what I feel because I've left the tiny town and I don't give a fuck anymore. I am returning with a beautiful sense of freedom. I'm going to rule those city streets for a week, I tell you what.

Then it's off to Vancouver and Victoria, which I am excited but a little nervous about. I want to meet members and girls when I'm down there, but I'm nervous about what geek I am. That's basically the gist of that. *smile*

Edit:
I've just learned that my grandfather has lung cancer. I don't really know how I feel yet.
