Okay, all that (8 hours) of sleep the night before kept me going all night long. I'm soooo pleased that at 4:00 this morning, I was still pretty awake. That wasn't sarcasm either!! I am surprised. I tried thinking of what I ate/drank during the day that could've had such an effect on me...and nothing. Nothing came up! So last night was okay. THe sushi was not very good, but at least they had out of the ordinary types. After dinner, we went back to his place and watched Cold Creek Manor. Then I came home. *whispers* Darren thinks I have a great body *cheers* He lives in a total bachelor pad...empty but there is a HUGE TV. :lol: Hmm...I thought my mom wanted to go for lunch and do some shopping at Costco today, but she just got out of bed, and it's 11 now. But she just bitched at me. She's such a control freak that she's moves down the list of things to control. Usually I noticed that whenever things were going bad with Dad, she'd treat me worse and try to be more controlling with me. Speaking of dad, he came home to do some laundry yesterday. :eyes roll: But he did invite me to his place!! I was surprised!! Anyhoo, looks like the bitch is back. That's the only way to describe her mood this morning. "Why are you all dressed? Are you going somewhere? Where were you last night?" "I've been waiting for you!! At a friend's." "Why did you get home so late? You weren't even home at 3:30 yet! What kind of friends do you have now?" *exits room* I hate dumb questions like that. I always tell her who I'm hanging out with. "Who brought in the paper?" "Um, there's only two people living here. If you didn't do, who do you think?" "You're supposed to put it in the box!" "What box?" "There's a box outside! Didn't he tell you?" "No." *exits room* Anyway, it'll be nice when I can move into my place. The only complaint I have living with my mom is that I can't come and go at any time without getting the third degree. It's fine if she asks and will accept my answers, but since that isn't happening, I gotta leave :D :D :D I wish I could have told her that when she asked me not to move so she wouldn't be alone. Anyhow, over the last two days, I've seen the use of "your's." Does that exist?! Is it proper?? It seems wrong to me. |

It sounds like moving will be good. G*d. I don't think I could stand it. I know I couldn't with my so-called mother.

Your's makes as much sense as hi's or her's or it's (not in the "it is" sense) but I think we've gotten to the point where most people can't tell its from it's anymore, even though it's first grade material. (For anybody not familiar, first grade is the school level for six year olds in the US.)

I was thinking about the "your's" thing. I didn't think it was right, but then I started to doubt myself because "'s: shows possession, and I thought.. "have I been wrong all along?" But "your's" appears at dictionary.com :-/ And it's worse that people don't seem to care about proper spelling!!

Your's does not appear at dictionary.com. They ignore the apostrophe when they search their database, but leave it in for the "nn entries found for [word]" part. That's called a bug. If you search for grape's, you will find the same thing. If you go back to "your's" and look at the actual entry and the examples, you will see that "your's" is not there.

Oh! That is an unfortunate finding. And to think the first time I saw "your's" was in a newspaper.
