Dearest Dylan,
I cannot understand what you are trying to type. Is it that hard to use periods to signify the end of one statement and the beginning of the question? This isn't a chat room, so you can take your time trying to tell us what you want to tell us.
With Love

With all due respect (and I do mean that.) being new is no excuse for not taking your time. Neither is being on an iPod. While I understand the possible difficulty of performing such actions on an iPod, you could take a little extra time to do such things as punctuation, or grammatical accuracy. And actually, the iPod has a function where if you press the spacebar twice, it gives you a period. Try using it.
If you just take a little more time on your posts, all of us here will appreciate it I'm sure. =)

Just wait until you get married. It gets worse. I also used the same argument that if I'm addicted to cubing then she's addicted to the t.v. Just keep cubing and eventually the complaining will die down. You need to outlast them. They will get tired of complaining and accept it eventually to a certain degree. It helps if you go to a competition.

Sometimes, my dad will take my cube if he wants to talk about something. It says it's my cigarette, when im doing "random" h-perms. Its pretty annoying, but eventually I sort of figured out when I can cube like a maniac and when the cube goes in its time-out corner. Going to a competition also helps alot, it lets the parents see that the other people who do this are all pretty normal, not just nerds and chinese (no racism intended, its just the general steriotype of cubing.
You don't need to be good to compete.

No need to be good to go to a competition! At the majority of people's speed, we're not there to win, but to socialize and learn some stuff.

Dylan, there is no speed requirement to compete in competitions. At worst, there may be a hard limit where if you hit a certain time, they stop you, but I usually only see that for big cubes. Go to a comp, meet people, you'll get better and you'll get even more interested.
EDIT: It almost looks like a triple ninja.

Show her this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t32VQ2HeELA Then tell her, "This is what it can be like, if only you would support me." Then give her your saddest expression. And ya, I went through this, sorta.

By the way, get a better cube than type A. If you are sure you want a type A, get the A-V. (A 5)

I think parents should heartily encourage the cube as its one of the best forms of brain training around. Surely no-one wants me to discourage faz?

Your parent shouldn't stop you from doing what makes you happy and still safe.

Can you solve a 3x3x3 in less than 10 minutes?

My parents will not let me buy cubes with my own money.
When I asked for a new 4x4 (my mom's friend broke my old Meffert's 4x4) She says "How many cubes did I buy you?"
I reply with "None" (Its true I purchased all mine)
I usually find it rather humorous.

Even if its over don't they go with the time on the stopwatch?
