Okay but where did it go for that 7 year lapse between my nose and my vagina is the real question
Maybe you never got rid of it, thus explaining why you can be a bloody bitch.
Simply put:
I am a product of this pacifistic movement that started in the 70s. All of my childhood, it was drilled into me that I should not fight back against bullies, I should "ignore them". I should "turn the other cheek". "Be the better man," "Tell a teacher".
Problem is, none of that actually stops the bully, it encourages them. The bully is not looking for a challenge. It's why they pick on people weaker than themselves. Yes, to stop their predatory aspects outright, their actions need attention other than violence. They need counseling, or other therapy to get to the underlying cause of why they are being a bully.
But teaching kids that they should not stand up for themselves, that the only solution to the problem is to either;
A: Ignore it, or
B: tell an "authority" figure to do something about it...
...Just does not make sense to me. Having these ideals drilled into my head made me feel powerless, it made me feel worse. What happens when you ignore the bully? They just bully you more, because you are easy prey. The primary tool you are told will work against the bully, is useless. So you turn to the other tool, you tell a teacher. What happens? The bully gets in trouble, their parents might reprimand them....and then they come back and take it out on the person who is the cause of their new problem.

Shit, only been locked out of my place once before, it sucked.
Then I took a hockey stick sitting outside, busted the shit window next to the door, unlocked it and let myself in. Then passed out cause I was drunk as hell.
....I wonder if that "repair" I did is still working....

About the only real change, is that I used to like System of a Down, now I'm finding Serj's vocals to be more grating and annoying, and the lyrics too....ridiculous? Just not enjoying it much. Otherwise, still listen from Nirvana to Meshuggah, The Doors to The Gathering.
Always liked a bit of folk, but never had any around. Like dubstep (americanized, harder, more aggressive, such as Excision, Bratkilla, Fall of Icarus.

Also, I'm wanting to make you a dice bag for your dnd dice. In some pretty yarn. Yarn that you will like.
Why would he like the yarn? Did you buy it from some African Cannibals who dyed it crimson with the blood of 4 unborn fetus', and the bone marrow of their mothers or something?
People trying to shove me into a mod candidate.
