I thought I was doing slightly better in terms of my recent weight loss but today I was shocked to step on the scale and see that I've dropped to a feeble 105 lbs (about 47.7 kilos). I weighed 120 lbs (about 54.5 kilos) just over a month ago...  |

I went through a stage very recently where I was dropping large amounts of weight quickly for no reason until the point that I was under weight. Scared me and my family. I've stopped now though thankfully. I still dont know if I was the cause of it or not but whatever. Hmm probably unrelated but we need more posts lol.
So I got my DOA5 Collector's Edition. Very happy with it. If anyone was thinking that they would maybe want to get it I suggest you hop on to the closest store and pick it up! |

Hunger... I need it... a drop of it on my tongue, sliding down my throat, the hot flash in my brain lighting up my body... I can smell it everywhere... blood. |

Hey, just checking in on everyone! I hope to have my comp fixed sometime next week and can return to action. Hope everyone is doing well!
RE: Money...a few of the reasons parents get like that...
A) They may be ashamed or embarrassed about how much they make. Perhaps they thought they'd make more one day, or perhaps they feel like they're letting the family down. Its also possible that they're ashamed of their money management...example, you see that they make SO much, yet never have spending money, and they're embarrassed about how they spend their money.
B) It's their money. They put in the time, sacrificed the things they enjoy, and labored all of those hard hours. When youth know how much their parents make, they can be more likely to want/ask/expect money. However, life isn't as easy as just handing over cash, so they don't even want to create that problem. The best way is to maintain private finances.
C) Privacy. As a parent, privacy goes right out the window. Little of what made them who they are gets to remain "theirs" as so much of their time, emotion and resources are spent on the kids. Because of this, parents will want to (and deserve to) maintain some privacy where they can. So when your folks don't want to share their finances, it can be because they've already shared everything with you, and feel they deserve a little privacy for themselves.
Further on the topic of privacy, most youth are loose lipped and tell their "best" friends everything. Your friends don't need to know your parent's business, and that's how the parents see it. They don't want or need that information making it to everyone's ears.
Also, just as someone who's experienced it....when people want to know how much you make, its usually because they want some of your money. When you worked your ass off for that money, it can be slightly offensive for someone to just expect you to hand it over. Some parents may simply see it as disrespectful, and invasive.
When it comes to money, nothing is easy...especially nowadays...and I'd suggest that if your parents seem cross because you're interested in their finances, perhaps just ease up a bit, understand how they feel, and give them some breathing room. It'll be easier on them, they'll like that you showed them respect and afforded them privacy and in the long run, may make them trust you more with their sensitive information.  |

Yikes. Obviously I only know you over the internet, but it seems since coming back to the US that you may have some mild depression. And that can totally relate to your weight loss. 15 lbs is a lot for us small people, you need to start taking better care hunnie. Eat eat eat. |

| The government went crazy again and this time... they blocked Google. Seriously, I could see it coming after blocking YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo. It just creeps me out but is funny in a way. They took it to a whole new level of stupidity. Why on earth would someone want to block Google? I guess I'm doomed to live in the 4th century forever... HAHAHA |

| Well i have been away a while, haven't been feeling to great lately and whats worse is the days i actually go in to school, they give me like 5 pieces of work to do that same night. All this work has meant that i have no time in the day for myself which just makes me want to stay off school even more.Of course i have to go, i just wish i had more free time. |

| For the last few days I've been having trouble breathing. I havnt mentioned it to anyone coz I dont know if it's simply caused by my hay fever or if it's just me being an idiot or something. If it gets any worse I'll worry about it. |

| I could definitely lose some fat on ma belly. I'm not fat per se, but still. I have been losing weight recently though, although not because of exercise, not really. |

| I was at the mall with a couple of buddies, and this random girl came up to me and said I reminded her of "The bald guy from A Perfect Circle". I guess that's a compliment? |
