my mom is the same way. i have a password on here and i swear to god if she read my stories shed shoot me, send me to a shrink, and then shoot me again. parents are so m'fing nosy, but its just cause they are blissfully unaware of how boring and monotonous their own lives are. my brother knows how to lock folders, hes the resident computer rat so ill ask him and leave you a comment on myspace or something. layta ^^
