Yeah, years of having my feelings ignored by my parents makes me feel like I can't get angry unless I'm somehow profound about it.
Jeez, guys, this is exactly what I was talking to my therapist about an hour ago. How if I'm not on the verge of dying, my feelings aren't worth having, let alone expressing. And if I feel so angry I want to Hulk-smash the world, well, I'm just calling attention to myself, I don't get to have such strong emotions. And especially I don't get to be angry with my family. Biggest no-no of all.
And, Happy Birthday, Lee!
Oh, you guys. I support you in having and dealing with and/or expressing feelings of all kinds!
In minor victories news, I just got an email that my new sunglasses have been delivered to the store. Except I meant to have them shipped to my house. BUT THEN I realized I have a massage appointment on Saturday, right by the glasses store! Everything works out.
Things working out is superb. More of that for everybody, please.
Is it Phoenix Day? Happy Anniversary, B.org!!

Pretty funny, as the kitten keeps playing with the peacock's long feathers.
Happy birthday, Lee! And yay for Phoenix too!
And a big heap of What They Said for all the good advice above. I wish I could master it, my anger that is. I can for periods, but not all the time.
Henry may be the kitten's best friend, but I'm not sure Henry holds the kitten in the same regard.
Something is still not working right, everyone who can fix it is at a retirement party and I really could've gone home an hour ago. ANd I have a meeting first thing in the morning tomorrow. Aw, fuckit, I'm leaving...
Happy birthday,Lee!
Heh, my sister just heard about the earthquake. I don't feel quite so out of touch news-wise, now.
