I couldn't think of anything original to say, really, so I thought I would fill out another survey thinger while I Trillian with Pedro.

Date: 2001-10-12 06:06 am (UTC)I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
That is so me. I tell people about the divorce and "the associated foo" and they say things like, "Oh, that must be really hard," (you know, those things people say)... and I laugh it off, do the sarcastic thing, shrug my shoulders. "It's okay." "Things move forward." "He's probably doing me a favor." "I like a challenge." "Scars are sexy." Etc. Thing is, I believe all of these things, but I wish just once I could sit down and cry about it. Maybe then my family wouldn't think I was heartless, or evil, or whatever.
I dunno. Crying was rewarded in my childhood with more anger and harsher consequences. And I wouldn't want A. to have the satisfaction, or something. Lies. I wish I /could/ cry.

You said I was Neat. *does the happy dance*
I'm neat...
Wow.
From someone who rocks so much, this is good.
The swedish fish hugs are for crying. It is hard. I got screamed at by my superintendant this week, and I didn't cry all day. I still haven't cried. I'm usually one to do so at the drop of a hat, and..well..I haven't. Wish I could to get rid of the experience.
Oh well.
We love you!!
*happy dances again* I'm neat!
Re: Swedish fish hugs
Date: 2001-10-13 04:29 pm (UTC)And thanks for the fish hugs. Anything swedish fish is good in my book. Boo for your superintendent. Boo boo boo. Do you need me to kick someone's ass? :)
Neat.
