Don't say "FYI" or break the fourth wall like that, its cheesy. Other than that, I liked the piece, its creepy. I feel like it could be expanded a bit, it feels rushed, brief. It also scares me that you expose yourself to people like that. But you're good at what you do, I can tell

[wierdauntie]

Fixed it.

And baby, the most dangerous psychopath I've dealt with recently is you-know-who.

[therealferret]

Hahaha, at first I thought you meant Griffin

[innana88]

No, not Voldemort!

I'm sorry. So sorry. Couldn't resist.

I know I say this every time but, this one is probably my favorite.

“I’ve decided to play the game. I want to be a lawyer.”

[wierdauntie]

I know. And he really said that. :)

[wierdauntie]

Thank you. I am using the word prompts to get my ass in writing gear...

[therealferret]

This seems like the most dangerous person I've seen a post about. Is he much older? It frightens me to see you frightened

[therealferret]

My roommate goes by the alias Loki, the same way I do ferret

[wierdauntie]

Thanks honey... He's a creeper for sure but I think he's turned a corner and we wont be seeing criminal behavior from him any more as he's decided to 'play the game.' Plus I've been sent to Kula El. now to work with the little kids. Look forward to stories about abandoned first graders with ukus...

1) You wrote him very well. I don't know who this person is, but I feel like I do now and am quite uncomfortable with this.

2) Thought I'd let you know that your entries about counseling sessions, whether autobiographical or not, have actually played quite the role in my contemplating a career change. Seriously, you've got some well-written, fascinating stuff here. Congrats!

[wierdauntie]

There is no doubt I love my work! It's a lot of things but NEVER boring when you are working with children, adolescents and their families... hell anyone! Keep me posted on your career change!
