Spoiler: Fun times with Kal's mom, Dolls edition (click to show/hide)

I was playing some Sunless Sea, visiting Visage, when my mom comes downstairs and starts telling me how I can't be a girl because I don't act girly around her, so I "reminded" her I've been hiding it from her for years because I knew she would react badly...
So she started ranting about how I never wear girly clothes and never used to play with dolls when I was younger and so that means I must be the manliest child ever? I don't really see how the fact that we didn't own any dolls until after I was 10, or how we don't have any clothes for girls (My little sister just wears hand-me-downs because they are better for running around and cheaper than buying new clothes, and my mom does all of my clothes shopping without me so I don't even get to see my clothes before I get them, much less have input on them!) means I can't consider myself a girl.

And then after she finishes ranting about how I should go be more manly she tells me she has been avoiding me because I'm not nice enough to her and I need to work harder on being nice to her...
Then she told me "Being strict with you doesn't work and teasing you doesn't work, so I can't do anything for you." I replied that she could try being nice, and she answered "Being nice? No, I can't do that. I can't be loving either. It's too hard."
Thanks mom! I'll make sure to be extra loving and kind to you after you told me it's too much effort to be kind to me.
*sigh*
I can't wait until I can move out...

:O

:O :O :O :O

Tha- that does not seem like parenting. Or at least, good parenting. Best of luck, and hopefully it isn't too long before you can leave.

This. That sounds less like parenting and more like something out of the start of a Disney book.

[FearfulJesuit]

My condolences, greatorder. I can't imagine losing a parent... 

[Tiruin]

If it makes you feel better, there are many more people who care about you than you'd think- that they haven't seen you face-to-face doesn't make it any less real.

Also this

The internet is a good way to shovel the point down, that people who care about you exist ._. other than...y'know, not having internet, and then being, maybe, secluded to 'as far as I see it' viewpoints.

And, also hugs.

[technicallyAdventurer]

And, also hugs.

On an unrelated note, my stomach hurts and my friend is ignoring me. Has been, for more than a week now.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Well, on a semi-related note (Not that this was sad, but I don't know where it would go...)
My dad asked me to go shopping with him, for some clothes that will "suit you better Kal, so you don't have to keep wearing guy clothes". Which was nice?
So we went to a store, and I picked out some clothes I liked, and he told me they were too girly. Then he went to the male section of the store and started picking out a bunch of ugly looking Hawaiian/floral dress shirts and told me that they would suit me better, and just look how colorful they are!
I guess he just has a terrible fashion sense? I would rather burn those clothes than wear them...
(Not exactly a sad, but eh?)

Also I cut my thumb really badly so I can't type correctly and it's terrible! (I've wrien a lo of these words way oo man times... But I'll jus leave these ones wron? I guess. Argh!)

Well at least your dad is trying. That's good.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Yeah, it is. More than anyone else is doing...

But now I have to go shopping again tonight because most of my clothes are bloodstained.

Oh dear. What happened, may I ask?

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Yep, I cut my thumb on my (sharp, metal) laundry basket.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go shopping. When I get back, I plan to sacrifice my old wardrobe to Armok.

[mastahcheese]

At least the ritual should be pretty easy, since you're already bleeding.

[Descan]

Sacrificing already bloody things to a God of Blood is basically looking up and saying "Yo. You want this?" and then hiding from the conflagration of holy fire.

[Orange Wizard]

Wouldn't Armok be more partial to making it rain elf blood that turns people into zombies?

He's definitely trying, he just doesn't know what he's doing. Bear with him. Dads are like that.

[Yoink]

Hey loud hawaiian shirts are cool.

Anyway, in actual sads: I don't have a washing machine yet. I don't know when I'm getting one, either.
There are no laundromats near me, and the one easiest to get to screwed me and my friend over when we tried to use it before. At this rate I'm thinking I'll have to buy laundry soap and handwash my clothes.

[Bohandas]

My teeth hurt. Apparently  I've been grinding them and messed up the ligaments attaching them to my jaw. I bought a night guard to try to deal with the grinding but it makes me gag. (perhaps muscle relaxants would help; I'll have to ask the dentist)


Maybe if I'm lucky my dreams tonight will be about my teeth falling out; because I think that that would be an improvement.
