It's amazing how many people can relate with growing pains, it's always a reality check. I'd always imagined others had a nicer time than I did. The grass is greener and that... *HUGS YOU*
Let me know if you ever make it to Kei Mouth... I just might join you. Actually, we've got rock pools. Lots. And lots. Of rock pools. ;o))
For some weird reason I thought you went to Tuks! O.o My bad! It has BEEN years you know, and my memory of your older eljay entries are pretty hazy... :o)
I'd join you in a heartbeat but work schedule is slaying me plus the wife won't be able to take off. :o(( If you're ever on the South Coast, let me know.
I don't know why I stayed away so long. I'd forgotten what a great place eljay was to unload. And what great friends I made here, even though most of them are gone.
Thank you for friending me, your poetry is exquisite. Reading you gives me so much pleasure. xx
What trauma childhood brings us. Do any of us ever have a good one?
I was always short and fat, with a strange accent, who would rather hang out with the teachers (longing for affectionate adult attention) than feel like a freak amongst my peers.
Nothing has really changed.
<3 <3 I love my LJ friends. It makes loneliness seem obsolete (virtually, at least).
I happen to find Southern American accents sexy. When I do a True Blood marathon, those accents keep floating in my head. It's got its own cadence and rhythm that is so distinctive and yet melodic. :D Maybe you can do a voice post. tee hee. :D
Well, obviously, you've just said you're suspicious when people want to be friends, but for my part, I have been reading your posts from our two mutual friends, and you have an interesting way of expressing your emotions, it's a good read, so I'm adding.
Besides, you bend over backwards once the suspicion ends, that's a marvellous advert from the you brand from a neutral standpoint. I am Ben, nice to meet you, here's hoping you eventually feel the same.
First of all, congratulations on finishing NaNo this year. (I caved at day 5 or something, it's defeated me thrice off and on the last few years LOL).
I am less wary of new people here on eljay especially since they always turn out to be in the other side of the world :D BUT you since you're a bunny, I have to tell you that I've had a morbid fear of bunnies ever since Donnie Darko BUT if you're the pink and fluffy kind, then I'll like you.
LOL I wasn't marketing myself and I certainly only bend over backwards figuratively. ;o))
I want it known publicly for the record Krissi, that I am not an evil Bunny... although, to be fair to my predecessor in DD, he turns out to be sort of good, doesn't he, just a bit silly in his youth, and he does make amends. I'm more like the Bugs Bunny sort, destined for great things, but not without a certain measure of violence, hypocrisy and a shocking accent, minus an improbably large phallus shaped carrot, I won't be carrying one of those around with me. It's important to not believe too much of the badly worded toilet graffiti publicity about me on these and other subjects.
Ha! No, I wouldn't demand that on a first meeting, though my aunt is a yoga teacher, she probably would. Being of linear descent myself, my toes are a foreign land not for the reaching, like the end of the world in Narnia. I set more modest expectations, like setting a cup of tea. It's lovely to meet you :)
Don't kid yourself, Bennito. We'll always all be silly and in our youth. What makes you think Bugs is guilt-free of your bunny-faults? He was always being pursued by Elmer and a gun (violence right there), he used to hide in various disguises (he cross-dressed occasionally too, something which disturbs me no end), and if you can't describe that nasally bunny accent of his as not a shocking accent well-- you are smoking your socks or your hobnobs.
The end of the world in Narnia is the back of the closet and I came out of it long ago btw. ;o) And don't lie. You expect more hobnobs with your tea-- nothing modest about that at all. And nothing modest about your writing skills either. Thanks for the add! XX
PS badly worded graffiti in public toilets are gospel in their truths. ;o)

I always had cases of hero worship for my teachers. I was I think always a little in love with all my English teachers!
Everyone is still a scared little girl inside I suppose. :o) Is it awful that knowing that makes us feel less alone?
*hugs you* Yeah, LJ is also a good hiding place. or venting place. And I love reading other people's words.
