Facebook quizzes taken from Kelly, Angela B., Steve L., and Gretchen:
Leslie completed the quiz "What Sort Of "I don't give a fuck I'll eat you" Killer Aquatic Creature Are You?" with the result Bat Shit Crazy Shark. These motherfuckers don't give a FUCK. They will munch your shit up entirely. On the real.
Leslie completed the quiz "Which Transformer are you?" with the result Soundwave. You are the Decepticon's Communication Officer... Okay, your title may not say much, but you have secured yourself as one of Megatron's most valuable officers through your reliability and skill at obtaining information. Plus, between Shockwave and Starscream, you're the only one who wasn't openly betrayed by Megatron! You like your position at Megatron's side, and keep yourself in his good graces by constantly supplying him with intel on the Autobots and dirt on your fellow Decepticons. You may not be liked, but everyone knows that if they mess with you, they'll have to answer to Megatron!
Leslie took the Which Stanley Kubrick Protagonist Are You? quiz and the result is Private Joker. You have good intentions, and an overall optimistic view of things. You probably enjoy photography or writing. People find you to be a nice person, and someone they can trust.
Leslie completed the quiz "Which element are you?" with the result Earth. As Earth, you are the simplest of the elements, and that is no insult. You are loyal, reliable, trustworthy, and a stable entity from which all other things earthly may live and grow. You create environments in which learning, living, and loving is possible when you are at your best. At your worst, though, it is another story. When you are upset, it is something that is felt by all those touched by you. Your world becomes barren and dry, and those who depend on you begin to wither. The weight of others you bear alone is enough to drive many of the other elements insane. Your place in the world: To foster growth in others, which ultimately results in growth in yourself.
Corey and I discussed Milo chocolate drinks (available here and in Malaysia, but not there?!), Tim Tams, hot chocolate, strawberry / chocolate NesQuik, and more hot drinks. He thinks that the Vancouver stoners offended Britney Spears - hahaha, I did hear about that, and think it amusing. Honestly, she can think what she wants, but man.
I got my first creep (Mark William Shaffran) in Wordscraper, who suggested highly inappropriate things regarding sex and drugs. I'm not a prude or sheltered or anything, but seriously! You don't tell me those things, especially in a GAME. Good thing the best revenge is WINNING, which I am doing by a handy margin in BOTH games he started. Thank goodness that I'll never play him again!
Poo nugget for Friday, Apr. 10: Where Beano Fails... - Chester Weimer received a patent in 1998 for airtight underwear that is lined with a charcoal filter. This garment supposedly lets you fart with impunity by absorbing the emitted noxious odors. Lest you decide to don this diaper and let loose in company, bear in mind that this device will do nothing to block out sounds. (I'm listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd's That Smell right now, so this is a quirky amusing coincidence!)

Date: 2011-05-08 11:47 pm (UTC)I have two relatively sane nearly adult children. I was not going to ever reproduce because I didn't want to break anyone the way I had been broken. I have succeeded in finding better parenting models though.
One thing that really helped was the book: "How to Avoid Your Parents' Mistakes When You Raise Your Children" by Claudette Wassil-Grim. If you can get a hold of it, I highly recommend. Even if you choose never to become a parent.
From what I see, your parents were much more physically brutal than mine. My mother specialized in verbal and emotional abuse, management through fear, and the 'I didn't do that. You imagined it.' kind of mind games.
My brother and I grew up with our mother treated our successes as her own, but all of our failures were due to our shortcomings. When she called us stupid and lazy and hopeless, it was for our own good.
I think you can relate.
Also my parents both smoked, and I was constantly sick - just to inconvenience my mother. She could never see any connection between the constant exposure and my never-ending cycle of colds, runny noses, ear infections, bronchitis, throat infections.... Rather it was me choosing to be 'spleeny' and 'difficult'.
She seemed to believe the smoking was harmless even while it was killing my father, and right up to the time when she died of cancer.

Date: 2011-05-09 12:22 am (UTC)I have no children since I don't ever want to reproduce and make unwitting mistakes. Thanks for the book recommendation; since I like to read, it'll be a good one for the collection!
Yeah, I can relate. My mom still does the same thing... and says that she's always been good, and I was always difficult. Ugh.

Date: 2011-05-09 01:57 am (UTC)For me, the biggest thing was realizing that the way I was brought up wasn't appropriate or right. I managed to end up with a spouse whose family is supportive, positive, and loving.
The next thing was having other people validate the way I felt. I had been surrounded by my mother's family, all of whom thought my mother was the greatest person in the world. As the truth has come out, some of them have even apologized for never having intervened, especially when she was diagnosed with a mental illness and refused help and medication.
Eventually, and luckily before she died, I was able to walk out on her after saying to her that I refused to be spoken to the way she had been. That was so huge!

Date: 2011-05-09 02:02 am (UTC)I realized this for myself a few years ago, and some people have validated me. (my mother would say that since everyone loves her, I must be wrong... bleh) Is it any wonder I don't want to wish her a Happy Mother's Day? :P
