Random Stuff VI The Return of the Admins

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

We were in the car, on the way to lunch. The realtor who was supposed to preview our house was an hour late, so she was in a bad mood. On the way there, she started telling a story about me; all I heard was my name and everything else was indistinct. Well, I love wanted to know what she was saying that had to be too quiet for me to hear, so I asked my brother over text.

Guess who decided that question was something my mom needed to know about?

My mom approached me a few minutes later, and told me what she'd said (a story about when she was teaching me to drive) and asked me why I didn't approach her in the first place. All of this was in her long suffering tone, so instead of saying "BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WOULD DO THIS," I just said I didn't have the chance. When she asked why I asked my brother what she'd said, I told her the truth: "I couldn't hear what you were saying, but I knew I you were talking about me."

She gave her best martyr's sigh. "Oh, really. It's not a conspiracy."

I want to punch her in the face. And you can bet I'm never telling my brother anything sensitive again.

I hate my storming family.

If it's not a conspiracy then why is asking about it such a big deal.

Precisely.

And now apparently it's my "tendency to assume the worst in people" that will "get me into trouble," because SHE doesn't talk about people behind their backs. The woman who talks trash about her adopted daughter the second she's out of the house, dissects the flaws of everyone she knows when they aren't present, who has mocked my driving to her friends while I was sitting right there and got ANGRY when I was hurt, is so saintly she'd make Paul cry.

That's it. I'm done. The second I'm independent, that harpy is out of my life. She lost whatever right to that privilege she thought she had.

Well Twi there's a simple reason your mother thinks you always assume the worst in people. She can only judge by your interactions with her and she indeed is the worst in people (barring violent criminals, sociopaths and Nighthound). Clearly she misses the positive human traits that would be necessary to gather other data points. And the fact that she mocked you while you where sitting right there proves that she doesn't talk behind other peoples back, she just says the most hurtful and insulting things that she can think of for whatever selfish reasons she has and dares anyone to give her a reason to get worse whatever the circumstance.

 

Clearly your mother is right... because she's a horrible harpy so terrible she can't even comprehend it herself.

 

You however get the moral victory of being a better person.

Im just too dumbfounded to say something... you really need to cut her off as soon as possible. Having her in your life is damaging.

Thanks. And yeah….I remember one time when I was a teen, after I'd confessed some of my social anxiety to her, she said, "Did you ever consider that you might be so nervous around people because you think they're all as judgmental as you are?" But I didn't think they were as judgmental as I was, because even back when I'd embraced every hateful prejudice my parents had, I didn't automatically dislike people for wearing miniskirts over jeans or dying their hair bright colors. I was scared of people because I thought they were as judgmental as my mom was.

I'm going to. And believe me, it's better than it was, back when I internalized every awful thing she said to me. Cussing her out in my head and flipping her off behind her back is better for my mental health.  

 

And sometimes, I wonder if all that makes me a bad person, if I should be more docile in my head, if I should make excuses for her like my siblings do….but then I realize, I don't care right now. Maybe I should. Maybe I will later. But right now, I've lost the will to care.

Whatever her reasons may be doesnt make treating anyone like she does right. She is hurtful even from a purely reasonable standpoint. There are no reasons why you should make excuses for her. She is harmful. Cut her off.

I'm going to. If she's ever wiling to see how awful she's been, I'll be willing to reconcile, but that doesn't seem likely at this point.

It really doesnt.

Wooo!

Im listening to a historian complain about all vikings being named Eric on skype, trying to read Summer Knight and figure out another magic system.

 

Multitasking~

Huh. That is a weird phenomenon, now that you mention it. Did Vikings just run out of names or what? 

 

I'm writing the next chapter and building my original fiction world using my AMA. And sitting with Bruce.

I dont know, everyone are still pretty much named the same thing though, so I guess they were just being uncreative.

 

I really want to read that story.

There are some other names, though, like Ragnar and his son, Ivar the Boneless. Which is as badchull a name as you can get, really. 

 

Working on it.  

 

Depends on what it's used for. If it's being displayed, I'd suggest something like glass or diamond. If it's being hidden, then I'd say something non-reflective.

I'm browsing photos of cats I did today. Obviously, you will have to watch them too

Makes you wonder why he was Ivar the Boneless though...

 

Well, it is stormlight of feruchemical charges, kind of. You draw on it to do magic. Im thinking glass at the moment... I made a post in creation daily if you are interested enough

He was born with no bones in his legs. Hence, Ivar the Boneless. Who invaded England. 

 

I'll go have a look.

Thanks. Really, this means a lot. My siblings made me feel like a pariah earlier for all the stuff I just told you guys.

This was probably a really horrible pun too as bones and legs are the same word for some stupid reason...

 

Found anything interesting?

 I have returned from Venturing Klondike Derby, which is where six members of my Venture Crew pack up a sled with gear for a camping trip and Venturing related events and pull it along a five mile long trail for two days. The two sleds that my crew entered won first and second place for speed, and the one that I wasn't on got second place for event scores(mine got solidly in the middle with fifth). I am sleep deprived and hungry, but also feeling very successful.

 

There was a skit competition at the camp for the first night, and my sled did Actual Cannibal Shia Lebeouf. I make a pretty good actual cannibal, if I do say so myself.

 

Anyway, I'm glad to be back here with internet access.

As are we. Internet access means you can upload proof of this skit.

Sadly, I don't think that I have any proof.

I started following a few non-US news sources after getting fed up with all the shouting and accusing, and I cannot get over how peaceful it is. It's amazing.
