This encompasses how the best way to communicate with him goes. Like I realize that a conversation, with most people, would be the most mature, but my father is more oriented to this kind of communication. He responded well, so it must have been at least an OK method. I think if I was like, "hey dad, can i travel across the country to see some people play video games for a couple of days?" ...that wouldn't work at all. I realize I was being facetious in the mock conversation but no matter how i pitched it that way would it have worked. The fact that I took up the time to type up a two page document outlining the important factors of the trip will mean a lot to him. | ||

And you're 20 years old. If he said no - would you not go? You are indeed reading correctly, I would be fully funding trip. If he said no, I wouldn't go. I live in his house and have to listen to him until that is no longer the case. | ||
