What's on your mind? (3)

[Rhye]

I've been thinking about one of the kids I worked with last week. We were having dinner with my parents tonight and I was telling them about how much I love to read stories.

This week, I got to take all of the books I bought to read to the kids. They kept asking for more so I told them I was going to read a special story that I got. Its called The Tree and I got it from the NAEYC conference I went to last year. I remember cause it really pulled me in when I was walking through all the booths to see what I could get.

While reading the story there is part that is really moving. Its when the bulldozers have destroyed all of the trees expect for the Douglas Fir tree. I remember the tone of my voice changing when I read that part, and then I looked down and there was one of the little girls, and she was crying. I asked her, "why are you crying?" And she said, "I want my mommy."

I don't know if it was the story or she just wanted her mommy for no other reason but to want her, but I kept thinking of that moment this whole week.

I'm thinking about a new personal experiment that I'm going to try. I don't know if experiment is the right word...maybe more personal project. If I do this, it will begin tomorrow and will last one or two weeks.

I would have bawled my eyes out at that part, too.

I am used to taking care of myself and taking care of others. Actually I'm better at taking care of other than myself. I am not very good at asking for help. But at the moment I feel terrible. I have not been able to maintain my commitments financially, spiritually, socially. I am torn between needing help and being a burden or disappointing people.

So sorting that out is weighing heavily on my mind. I just wish I gave a damn about myself enough to deal with these problems earlier.

I am thinking that people shouldn't really trust me with their computers. I only end up hacking their Facebook status' but they never seem to learn.

I love hacking my brothers. This time I was very pleasant and said nothing akin to him spending his night in shaving his legs and watching Gone With the Wind. This time...but next time....

Baking. I feel like baking something, but I'm not sure what. Usually I just bake different kinds of cookies or muffins, but I feel like making something else.

Wondering how people get their usernames to be different colors.. Is it based on years at CF? Can someone Rep me this? lol

User CP > Edit Options> scroll to the bottom of the page and select a color.

That would have been a good choice since we actually have apples in the house, but I just asked my mom and she said it's too hot to bake.


Oh, poo.

I'm thinking about how bad this weekend was. And how I wished I could explain it more in depth but people will get mad.

You're the kid parents don't want their kid to play with.

 

[Nom De Guerre]

lol meh.

Its super awkward when you're watching The Closer with your grandparents like you do every Monday night in summer, and the murder involves prostitution and sexuality.

Fine. I think you would enjoy this, or have some sort of response anyway.

Went to a friend's party friday night, it was a pretty good time....low key, dudes were good guys, girls were generally very pretty, all good stuff. Eventually with every house party, there's a "divide and conquer" element as the night goes on. So I start talking to this girl. It was her birthday, apparently she lived the next town over from me, all that sounds good. She did kind of overdo it with the eye shadow...had those raccoon eyes going.

ANYWAY, we start chatting, things are good (thinking long-term, gotta get my name out there and stuff....but I could definitely get some short-term going too), then I think one of my friends was throwing up or something and I had to take care of him. When I came back she was off [having sex with] a distant friend of mine in the bathroom, whilst I had to listen to her friend have a poutfest about how she still has all this money and whatever. I still am rather mad about it, though on a somewhat superficial level because it just seemed like it wasn't meant to be (and I can almost come to peace with that).

Sunday was worse. My roommate is now dating someone. This guy is well...he's a very good friend, but he would never be seen as a ladies man. And here he was on a date while all I've had to show for this now-three month "expedition" is a few stories about shoulda-coulda-wouldas and a few if-things-went-differentlys. It actively irritates me because I deserve things sometimes, especially with all the work and junk I've been doing. Just something. If nothing happens after I get to school in about a fortnight, this entire venture was just a waste. A costly, costly waste.

What's even more awkward is going to the theater to watch Black Swan with your mother 0.o why did I not research that movie more....WHY?!

My witty reply to that is so not CF appropriate.

 

[Obzocky]

People, for lots of reasons. CF people, meatspace people, RYL people, so many people. I want to listen to them, let them talk, then hug them. Then offer them a cup of tea.
