That's awesome news, Strix!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them
Awesome strix!!!
I got my hair cut today, kinda cut twice. I was killing time waiting for Will to come up to Burlington for dinner so I decided to get my hair cut at the mall. It really needed it and I wasn't very clear with the stylist but she didn't really say much or ask questions. I really want a short hair style that's not a bob, but so far everyone has said nothing else will looking flattering, but I told the stylist "I want it really short, preferably not in a bob - do what you think is good."
My hair was just to my shoulders and I ended up with all one length, she just trimmed the shaggy bits but there were some layers and you could still see them when she was done. So I told her "just go for the bob, I like it really short in the back." she barely made any changes. I got frustrated so I finally told her it was fine but she could tell I wasn't happy.
So another stylist stepped in and cut it. It's a bob, but much shorter than it has been. I only got charged for the one cut.
The first stylist barely spoke to me, didn't ask me any questions, and it was weird. She didn't even make small talk.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There are a few of us in Natter and Bitches who talk about being the adult children of mentally ill parents and having the same bahaviors and coping skills as adult children of alcoholics. I hate thinking that could be Em in 20 years. And it depresses the shit out of me.
Oh, Aims, no. Just... no. Don't think that about yourself. You're not even close to that. Echoing what everyone else has said, it's the love and being able to talk about it and being honest that matters.
And ION, I GOT THAT GIG for the MS editing forthe Emmy-winning writer-producer! Biggest gig evah! So psyched!
Big YAY!

Aims, what Zen and everyone else said. I think being able to openly communicate with Em and talk to her about these things is the most important part.

Yay, Strix!
Yeah, when you're little it's hard to separate your stuff from your parents'. Knowing that your stress is not her fault and not her responsibility to fix might be good, Aims. It's sweet that she wants to try, but there's sweet and there's sweeping up coffee grounds from every nook and cranny.

Aims, I Am Not A Parent (IANAP disclaimer), but maybe it would be good for both of you to give her some ideas of how she can help in ways that actually help? She really wants to make you feel better; maybe telling her she can, IDK, read a story with you or something will give her a way to feel like she's helping you?
