What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

[Elton John]

My anger is really intense right now and I don't know why.

@Elton, ***hey Elton Bro calms huggs you gently** Uhmm its alright, I hope you feel better, a good suggestion is to think of something that makes you very happy, it can be anything, close you're eyes as you do it, visualise this pleasant thing, and focus on it, sit back letting you're anger go,. breath deeply, and let go of you're anger, do this for I'd say 30 to 45 mins and you'll feel better. Please Elton try it, for me.

I'm thinking that I'm concerned for Elton, and happy for Roni's Birthday Today. I'm doing ok atm.

I'm pretty proud of how calm I reacted to that last night. Right... better tidy the mess we made earlier up. Blanket forts seemed like such a good idea at the time

I was off MLK for roughly a day due to being busy, I probably didn't miss mu--

What the actual fudge? O.o

Why do people insist on calling me "lovely" and "cute"?

You get a pass on that kinda thing (though "lovely" is always awkward) if I'm interested romantically. Which currently is no one. So please, just don't..

I'll give them this: it's a step up from my exes always calling me "baby". Of all the pet names, you've got "darling", you've got "honey", you've got "sweety", nope... Felt the need to default to baby 99% of the time.

And I honestly get the feeling that something sexist was going on there. I'm very brash and abrasive, I do not act how one would expect a typical female to act. I think they could sense that I am very masculine, and felt that their own fragile masculinity was at risk. "Baby" became a way of belittling me so they could be reassured that they were the dominant one. That they were the man. It was probably a subconscious thing and not an active choice, but still. This theory of mine is not without evidence, either - I cut my hair short, shortly after breaking up with one, and was trying to stay friends with him. Sent him a picture of my new haircut and he said "You look like a boy" in this tone that implied that was a bad thing. (Needless to say, we didn't remain friends for long.) Another ex at one point said I wasn't allowed to have shorter hair than he was. He later complained that he felt like I was the man in the relationship and he was the woman, with again, a tone implying this to be a bad thing (I pretended to be sympathetic but I secretly agreed in all honesty). Men beware, I am the greatest threat to masculinity the world has ever known.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking it. Either way, am I the only one who finds it creepy that you're likening the person you're attracted to to an infant?

^ You might be overthinking it a little bit, but I do generally stay away from people who use 'pet names' like that regardless of gender. It doesn't take a genius to realise that they're actually creepy and belittling as all hell on the receiving end. Creep central.

Inb4 Tora starts doing this just to mess with me, lol.

I get called "lovely" and "cute" a fair bit (in a completely non-romantic way). I take it as a compliment. I'd much rather that than be called "hot" or "sexy" which are shallow and related to sexual attractiveness.

What the hell do I write about in this essay???

[Arbystrider]

I'd pay to have someone address me as "cute" or "lovely".

[Shadowfax]

Mum has taken my daughter to my nans for the evening. I feel so odd being home alone, lol. I guess i'll get some doodling done, then when my partner gets back help him paint his 40K army
