So I want to say thank you.

First off, I'm very proud of myself. True, dinner didn't quite work as planned, but my kitchen now smells awesome.

Secondly...I thought this was taken off the psych ward list decades ago. I found it on psych posters plastered everywhere where I work. I wrote down the number and looked it up and wow.

( Thirdly, and this one will take a bit... )

What you've said here is so true. I've always had to use a different facade, depending on the company I'm with. When I'm dealing with other parents, I have to put on the conservative face and only talk about education, nutruition and other child related topics. I hate it. Feels so fake and somehow dishonest. My children know what I write and it dosen't make a difference to them. They're proud of me for doing what I love despite others prejudices. My other family members(parents/siblings) grudgingly except it as another quirk of mine. I'm not allowed to talk about it infront of them though. Makes them all uncomfortable ( ... )

In a lot of instances, I reference my writing and talk about my "gay porn." Most people think I'm kidding, and unless I actually want them to read it, I keep letting them think that.

Honestly, with most people in most settings, I'll toss out casual comments to check for a response and if it's insulting, I keep the relationship pretty neutral. In the military, you have to watch those casual comments and keep up the social filters no matter what, so...

If a friend tells you to go to hell due to something like that, feel free to tell them where to stick it. Please.

Also feel free to ramble on as much as you want. I don't mind. ^_~

Well, Tir, honey, I think this is one of your "I am thinking too much, please, stop me" moments ( ... )

tir_synni September 24 2009, 00:40:34 UTC

I have a lot of those moments. In RL, it's definitely for the best that someone stops me because that whole thing will be in speech-form. Breathing is good occasionally. :D

*snorts* I'm 302.85. I didn't realize it was still considered a psychological disorder. I thought they got rid of that, oh, thirty or more fucking years ago.

Generally, social filters don't bother me. I don't really like people enough for it to bother me. However, when I feel like I have to use those filters with someone I like, I get upset.

Your Jesus!Cloud fic is in progress, though it's probably not going to be as long as you would like. First draft is done. ^^

(Yay Cloud!Jesus. And any length is fine, I just enjoy brain breakege.)

Too late on the Fic front though. I started typing the first draft during my history lecture tonight. You enjoy messing with my mind don't you?

I must be blessed, being able to say what my opinions are at work/with friends or family.

Do I tone them down a bit? Not so much as just keeping to the facts of it, but even then we have fun at my job throwing all kinds of moltov cocktails of social-political bullshit around in the breakrooms. Then again we all know that opinions can be changed and that if someone disagrees with you that dosent make them evil. For the few who cant understand those two points... well we just wait for them to leave before setting off another round of fireworks.

tir_synni September 24 2009, 00:46:17 UTC

I think you are blessed. *laughs* I love actual conversation/debate/etc., but in many cases the other person looks down on you because you're obviously stupid for having that opinion or having that opinion and voicing it can get you in trouble at work and such. It's a little irritating at times.

Social filters are difficult because it’s HARD to check your personality at the door, ESPECIALLY in an American society where we are lead to believe everyone is right (one hand of society offers that to us, the other hand of society snatches it away- that’s a whole other rant ( ... )

tir_synni September 24 2009, 00:51:32 UTC

Most times, I view those social filters as professionalism, and that generally makes it easy to accept. However, when I have to use those social filters in times where I shouldn't have to be professional, I tend to get upset...or giggle to myself while I write gay pron and they have no idea what I'm doing.

My friend keeps asking me if I have found Jesus. She'll talk with me about her religion, but her viewpoint is very different from yours. You love slash and the such, and she...well, I wouldn't say "looks down on it," but you get my point. Sadly, she's still a better Christian than most Christians I meet, who just sticks with, "You're going to Hell."

For me I can only talk to about 3 people about my real self that I know personally. Everyone else I smile and nod. Then try to not to kill the narrow-minded S.O.B's. Which takes to much effort on my part ( ... )

tir_synni September 24 2009, 13:06:34 UTC

You should report that bitch. Please? Someone really, really should, for the good of all who have to fucking deal with her. *snarls* There are certain words you don't use on the job; that's one of them.

Man, you really should move whenever you can. At least my assholes are mildly professional. Obviously your assholes haven't heard of the term yet.

*perks up* Hey, do yo guys have one of those anon places you could call to make a complaint? They generally have one set up for discrimination and sexual harassment. You report the assistant manager and it would probably be one of those times that everyone would have to watch their mouths. :D

Good news! mlottig September 25 2009, 04:30:01 UTC

I told my main manager about her saying things. Mind you I didn't go into specifics. I wanted to see how he would react. Well to my disappointment he told me that she was telling him things about me. Including a remark about gays that I said. Obvious, I was offended by her comment she decided to go to him personally and complain because it offended her. I tried to tell him it was the other way around but he doesn't know who to believe. Since there was no other witnesses, we both were going to get into trouble ( ... )
