I finally got around to talking to my dad about Aara. It turns out he actually had a motive I agree with. Like I said, Aara really looks up to my dad, and now that I think of it, they spent most of New Years together (playing guitar, setting up fireworks, and talking). I guess its more than I can understand.
Anyway, what it comes down to is that Aara had some questions about life, and my dad decided, and I quote, "Better smoke a cigar here with me, than a joint with someone somewhere else."
I have to say, I agree. I really need to learn to trust.
Also, we get to keep the printer my dad brought home and I am currently attempting to post my first peice of fanart!!!
