What's wrong with the lovely letter L?
Not too much, my keyboard just refused to type it for a moment so I was annoyed. Annoyance over, let anger with parents commence.
Let me quote: "Nothing in her life is as important as that computer"
"We are going to have to go to college and pull her out"
and my favorite:
"You won't put away he milk (that's been sitting out for probably 12-16 hours by now) fine! You can't have any chocolate milk. (No reaction by me). She's addicted to that *expletive* computer"

Oh no!
The computer was the most important thing in my life until this year.

I know! It's so frustrating.
Glad to know that I am not the only one though.

I think their obsession with you using the computer a lot has something to do with the fact that they're religious and they don't want you to be exposed to outside influences or ideas different from their own. Perhaps you should talk to them about it and tell them it isn't affecting you in that way.

No, I think it's more along the lines of:
*I am on the fast computer
*Supposedly I crashed the really good computer (which it wasn't completely my fault because other people used it to but only I can be to blame because I am the trouble child).
*I got into an argument online, and that is not a productive use of my time (it was one time, and I didn't try to)
*I have no life, I should have a life....did they forget that I had not life before computers

I know. But they keep having this weird expectation that I should be normal or something. It's like they haven't met me.
