candylandIt's not even ten after ten as I start this entry, and I'm nodding off. Whew...but I guess that's what happens when you get up at twenty after five in the morning and are on the road at ten to six x_x It was a long day, so this is going to be the abridged version of my day's events before I pass out.
Neither of my students made All-State, which is fine. It's a good experience, though. And I had a good time having lunch with one of them. She's funny, especially when she's got caffeine in her system XD But I did get a TON of knitting done, which is awesome.
I came home and fixed dinner and watched episodes one through five of Storm Hawks. I think I'm seriously in love with that show ~♥♥♥ And now I'm watching some Muppets before I go to bed.
And...this is sort of embarrassing to post here, but I think I need to.
I think most people have a couple of things that you shouldn't say to them, even in a joking manner. I'm going to tell you one of my big ones, and I ask that you please not do this to me.
If we are having a silly, light-hearted argument or talking about something...never, ever threaten to de-friend me or not speak to me again if I don't agree with your viewpoint or if I don't want to do something you're asking me to do.
I will cry. Seriously--and it will take me a while to calm down totally.
I guess you could call them abandonment issues of a very specific nature. I'm terrified of losing friends for stupid reasons--yes, this does tie into some things that have happened to me in the past. I won't go into all the gory details, but...it's a very deep-seated fear.
So...telling me that you'll de-friend me if I don't say something or agree with something hits that fear right on the head. And I don't react well at all. In some ways, it's worse over chat because I can't tell if a person is joking or not. Even jokingly...I don't handle it well.
Is this stupid? Am I overreacting to what probably amounts to nothing? Most likely. But...it's something I can't really control. And if an exchange of this nature occurs and I tell you that it's not funny...I'm not kidding.
