    Well this hits home.

    A week or two ago, i had what i call my “weepy waves”. I get a sudden, intense desire to burst into tears for about a minute. Then I’m fine for about 15, then more tears, then calm, repeat

    Fortunately, it was the last hour of my shift, so the security cameras only caught four of em, but when i was leaving, i burst into tears in the middle of the parking lot.

    Got about $15 for my troubles…




  • Short answer: I bite back now.

    Long answer: My parents are hard-R Republicans. Every time they start getting all “demoncrats r bad” i just ask them, “Why do you want me dead so fucking bad? I know from being raised by you that you fucking hated me growing up, but to vote for “gays should be executed”? This is exactly why you didn’t have grandkids, the thought of putting more of your hate in the world is abhorrent to me…”

    I’ve only had to pull that one out twice, so far, but it hits them hard when they still (I’m a few months away from 40) insist I “give them grandkids”.








  • My childhood never really began. I was a toddler, then i was a mini adult, having to “watch your brother!¡!¡!” everytime my parents wanted to have fun.

    I was one of those kids that adults said was “mature for your age”. Except, it wasn’t maturity, it was fear of my parents.

    So for me, childhood ended the first time my parents told me to become a third parent for their child.

    Yes I’m still bitter about it, so i won’t call out the down votes on this one
