So, something I didn't say when I posted about my Dad finding my LJ, but which I suppose was probably pretty clear implicitly, was that he's my favorite of my two parents, and so what he thinks of me matters a great deal. What I forgot, in the excitement, is that he's my favorite for a really good reason. I just got the following email from him, which I will just quote in its entirety because it pretty much speaks for itself:

DDOM*:

After you all left, Mom mentioned that tappu had told you what I said about Dad's should never access their kids LJs. I was mostly kidding so I hope you didn't get the wrong idea. I was essentially joking about some of the language you and iuliamentis use in your journals. I will not visit in the future so as not to have a "chilling effect" as we say in the law, on your rights to free expression :) Seriously, I don't visit anymore because I don't understand most of what you're talking about, so its sort of a self-eliminating kind of thing, so don't stiffle yourself on my account.

Love you and see you soon, Hon! Your Papa
