So I can't text because I have come to the limits of pushing my dad on the subject.
So I have broken the barrier and started talking about furthering my independence from them.
We'll see what their input is. But if all goes well, by the end of the semester I should have a new phone with a new plan, which allows me to text all the time. Le sigh... the cost of doing business... society... what a fucking pain in the ass...
