Recently, a thread’s popped up on BYC about bad families. It’s pretty tear-jerking, reading about the experiences of people who’ve had alcoholic or just uncaring parents: I could never imagine a life like that! Virtual hugs to you all who’ve ever been in that situation!
I removed my post from that thread because it was obvious it wasn’t needed.
It’s interesting to read about the ways people cope with that kind of horrible stuff. People write, they listen to music, they take drugs.
I don’t know what I’d do if my life ever got that bad. Throw myself off a bridge? I currently keep a lame attempt at a journal. It’s funny in parts, when I read old notebooks, although some things are just better left in the past! There are a huge number of startling things that most people would be gobsmacked to read if I died and they found the journals.
The BYC people wouldn’t believe it, my parents wouldn’t believe it.
It’s amazing how people change, don’t you reckon? Year by year, my life has gone from one extreme to the next. I always do a little bullet point list of what I’ve achieved each year, just the main things. I do this on New Years’ Eve. It’s kind of a tradition
Some of the more amusing ones would be ‘Discovered PoultryLand and have successfully maintained four accounts.’ (Hey, don’t tell anyone, okay? I was a bit of a loser. But now I’ve started afresh, and I am 23_Lizzy_05, if PL ever returns)
‘Wrote four movies.’ Movies? What a joke! They were little Pages documents smothered in kiddy language. Recently, I’ve written a properly formatted real-deal thing, and I’m starting on another one!
‘Discovered aviation and have become an expert.’ ‘Discovered the stock market and have become an expert’. Really, Liz? Really? How can I be an expert in those things when I am not even at an age where I can legally fly or trade? ROFL. And back when I wrote those statements… I knew nothing compared to what I know now. Amusing how I used to think I was so smart, just because I knew what STAR, ILS, SPI and NYSE stand for.
I shall have to add ‘Discovered BYC and became a Crazy Pullet’ onto this year’s list. Fantastic. Something I should be very proud of!
The Crazy Pullets is a fantastic resource. I can practically find any smiley I need on there, and copy and paste. Except for , because nobody seems to be rolling their eyes much lately 😦
And, to end with a bit of a laugh I got from old Spockety-Spock recently…
Me:
Wow, I just failed my German writing test!
I actually tried really hard, went 150 over the word limit and detailed pet-searching flights to Perth and encountering the ash-cloud and enclosing a bird T-shirt from Bindi Irwin for my bird-crazy teacher who I have to tame in preparation for news that I’ve missed the past week of school to search for my missing pet.
Then my bubble was burst when Frau told us ‘geflogen’ has to be used with ‘sein’ and not ‘haben’.
Spock:
wait, what? you put a hundred and fifty pets in an ash cloud just so you could tame a bird to give to you’re insane teacher?……you have no idea why weird what you just wrote sounded like.
So a woman told you that somebody had to be flogged in order to use a duck and not a rabbit in a bubble? or am i completely off?
One more thing. Sorry I’m keeping you! I found a book named ‘Share Investing for Dummies’. Epic, it’s got chapters on almost everything i actually want to know… but $46 too expensive. It’s my birthday in ten months’ time!! Wink wink, nudge nudge! Jokes.
Mrs Bennet: I can wink and nudge… can you?
I write to deal with my father’s… Issues. He doesn’t have huge ones, but they’re there. And I LOVE reading yours and Spock’s conversations. LOL
Really? Spocketatus and I are really that funny, huh? 😛 I guess you’re not the only one. Here’s Gerbil: “I have observed them several times, always engaged in some sort of communication they are. Gesturing and generally speaking in gibberish! Sounded somewhat like German…..” (Gerbil, are you reading this? You should be, because I’m talking about you behind your back *wink wink nudge nudge* JK!)
Yes I am! Hh! There you go again, talking behind my back!
You guys are all crazy. Especially you and Spock, Flare. 😉 Am I correct in my deductions that Spock is ESPECIALLY Crazy… if you know what I mean? Or am I completely wrong?
Oh yes, Spockety-Spock is about as Crazy as you get them. 😉
