If you have a PS2, and aren't using it, I would also think about putting it in your Expansion Bay. I used to use that all the time, and my rent never looked there, ever.

I'm glad for ya, though, mi mano! I think your dad might be the same way, but your mom is just trying to make sure you don't get into too much trouble with him. That's really badass, I think! Congrats!
