Tom, bless you for all this work. One piece of advice--in trying to make a big leap forward like this you have to force things for a while. In other words, lettign your feelings go will never feel "natural" and if you wait to do that until it does, you never will. Learning a new way to deal with oneself is a difficult process. So force yourself to start sharing feelings, even though it will feel fake and horribly uncomfortable the first few times. You won't feel like you, even though they are your feelings. After making yourself do it ,though, it will get easier and easier, until it becomes part of you.
This is how I had to make the change, anyway--deliberately changing my behavior and waiting for my psyche to catch up.
Plus, unlike giving birth, there's low likelihood of you receiving an episiotomy in this process.
Do you mind if I adopt this for wider use? As in, "I have to get up in the middle of the fucking night to test the new blahblah before it goes live. But at least there's a low likelihood that I'll receive an episiotomy in the process."
Does "emotionally labile"sound dirty or is it me?
I didn't do the ceremony thing when I graduated because I thought my stepfather would be in jail and it would be ruined.
I don't think I missed anything. Wish I could have had a shot at the bright future thing, though.
Absolutely, Tom. I admire all the work you've done for yourself and I know you can do this, too.
Also, what Robin said. For lo, she is Scrappy and she is wise.
Tom, you will do this. Strength to you.

That is all.

It's not just you. It's a labia thing, I think.
It's a labia thing, I think.
That should totally be your tagline.
Spinning off what Robin said -- if you wait until it's neutral/easy to express your emotions, you're kinda defeating the purpose, aren't you? Being emotional
is
emotional, even when you've had practice.
A conversation I had this morning I made it into a co-worker's blog. Which is proof entire he blogs during the work day. Maybe it was his lunch break.
That should totally be your tagline.
Heh. I'm still attached to
sham (although I hope I'm still attached to my labia, too). You can have it.
ION, I really like the GUI GUI version of Louie Louie.
One of the articles about the Louie Louie thing actually said there was still a controversy about what the song was about. - Of course, that was the story from the FOX affiliate, so...One even referenced the lyrics, but went on to say that there's no knowing whether that's what Ely (I think that was his name) sang. Crazy man crazy.
