My Randomness

If you grow up in a home with emotional and verbal abuse you develop certain traits...for starters you can smell a dangerous mood. Walk in to a room and you will immediately know when someone is on the verge of a wig out. This is useful! Other traits are decidedly less so. I hate confrontation, I will go to extreme lengths to avoid arguing with someone. The result is I wind up with a lot of pent up frustration and unresolved issues with people who are often clueless as to why I am so angry. I also have a horrible temper, inanimate objects usually suffer the most at my hands...doors are slammed, items are thrown, things of that nature, but when pushed too far I can and will snap and become a vicious stranger who will say terrible things. I try, even at my most enraged, to never say "that thing". You know the thing I mean, the one thing that is their Achilles's heel. The thing that will do the most damage. Sometimes I fail.

I don't believe I could ever have an abortion, but that is ME. I don't actually know what I would do in an extreme circumstance, a...

I've had a bad day. I'm trying to lose weight, and my scale seems to have it out for me, it will not show me numbers I like. I've stopped drinking soda, stopped eating junk food, anything fried ( and I work @ KFC for cripes sake) and started to walk everyday! I'm just looking for a little recognition damn it!!! Then I go to work, and get called into the office to receive a lecture about how I can not write bad things on my Facebook page about another employee. Now then, let me first comment that I'm pretty damn sure that you cannot tell me what I can or cannot say on FB! Hello, freedom of speech assholes! She said by putting my hate out there I put her in the middle of things because other employees were coming to her about it. Well, then I'd say THEY are putting you in the middle of it, not me. He is in high school but he is 18 years old, and as such a "supposed" adult. Then I reminded her that I had put in a request over a month ago to not be schedu...
