Awww, man! The past month has been utter shite! :sad:

Aside from listening to heavy rock n' metal music. Those Gordon Ramsay - Rapid Fire Hightlight compilations on YouTube, of him just telling people to f*ck off and how crap they are as chefs has been oddly cathartic to watch. As well as great inspiration for some original insults. :giggle:

Just realised I started a post for here on my laptop, but must've shutdown my laptop before posting.

Anyways, I've started reading again. Might as well, eh? Huv'nae read a good book in ages. And, since I started wearing gebs - (specs/glasses - folk tend assume I'm intellectual. They're wrong like, but a compliment's a compliment. F_ck, even one of cousins thinks I'm a right brainy b@$%@rd! Purely because I know the meaning of the word, "genre"

As opposed to getting this reaction (see below). :giggle:

Recently bought this autobiography by Erin Pizzey, after listening to, and watching some of her lectures on YouTube. It's mainly about her life, how she become involved with the feminist movement, and the history of how she started the first ever domestic abuse shelter in the modern world.
Y'know... boring stuff. :rolleyes:

:D I'm only joking... It's actually quite fascinating stuff, and quite funny. Well, what I read so far, at least. Only just started, and I've nearly got through the first 3 chapters. But, that said, it's good to get back into a hobby that I've neglected for awhile.

Well, I'd better brace masel' for the psycho-fanny shit-storm that might occur the 'morra when ma eldest sibling gets back from her week-long holiday. Cuz ah went n' sent her a particular sweary email berating our middle sister, and venting about why our mum puts up with us as family. In response to her emailing me wondering how things were at home while she's away for a few days. As well as making a rather unpleasant comparison of how having to put up with my family collectively wus not to unlike being stuck inside an episode of this trashy, British tabloid talk show:

The Jeremy Kyle Show

Well, this was a huge mistake, sending that email. :eek:mg: Cuz I'd recently told my eldest sibling about a creative writing exercise that I'd devised. Which was, challenging myself to write some comedy material. Now she's giving me tips on how to go about it, as well as jokes. :eek:mg:

Sorry if I'm being a downer lately. I'm not in a good place at the moment. Scared for my well-being, scared that this kinda thing will not stop happening to me. Constantly being made to feel like shit for trying to play peace-maker and keep my family together. But it seems all they want to do is fight. Then, as soon as I say I'm done, I'm out. Quick as a flash they're pleading with me.

"No, Graeme. Please... Please! PLEASE!! :praying: :crying: Don't go! We need ye, we wouldnae know what to do without ye!" :sad:

This from a group of wimmin who tell the only man in their lives who hasn't treated them like less than himself, to f*ck off when he starts an argument by calmly making a valid point. So much for them praising how sensible I am, huh? :idontknow:

Hey Graeme!

I just got my Scotland-Fix on periscope watching this guy walk all over the countryside. It's so pretty there! I like the accent too. :) I hope you had a nice and not too hot summer there. My state is on fire literally right now, ash from forest fires thick in the air for weeks now. These awful weather things, they follow me where ever I seem to move...actually the main fire was started by some stupid kids with fireworks in the woods :(
Yikes I am watching the hurricanes down by Florida in real time, it is so scary! It feels pretty much like the friggin' apocalypse complete with a crazy "President" wanting to start a nuclear war!

I am sorry ya feel so awful and I wish what you are going through wasn't somewhat relate-able but it unfukingfortunately is.

I actually was, before I read your post working towards some real changes in my life. Lets see how it goes :) If I can do it so can you :thumbup:

It helps me a lot to weigh decisions like moving out for example by listing pros and cons.
You'd be amazed at all the PROS which in turn will motivate you a lot!
Writing stuff down always helps me anyways.
There comes a point where you have to look after #1 and that it's ok to take care of you first. It seems like you need to take that to heart. Be selfish!!

Listened to "Dummy", and enjoyed it. Now listening to "Potishead" album. You should have a listen - you'll love it! :perfect:

I actually own all their albums. And their self-titled album was actually the only Portishead album I couldn't get into when listened to it for the first time. Still haven't fully appreciated it, really. Don't know why, though? :question: :idontknow:

Might have a listen to it at some point, but right now, I'm far too pissed off to chill. So, it's these album will be making up my morning playlist.

Cool! :thumbup: Never fully appreciated the countryside when I was a kid. Being brought up in a wee town made me think rual life would be boring as f*ck. Now, it's sound like the best place to live. :bigsmile:

Weather's not been too bad here. It rained the odd day when I was up in Edinburgh last months, with my oldest sister. That what summer in Scotland is like. :bigsmile: But it's stayed dry for the most part, surprisingly. And it's actually remained very warm these past few weeks.

My state is on fire literally right now, ash from forest fires thick in the air for weeks now. These awful weather things, they follow me where ever I seem to move...actually the main fire was started by some stupid kids with fireworks in the woods :(

:eek:mg: Dumb c*nts!

Yeah, it's pretty mental over there in the States at the moment.

Sorry to hear that you can relate to my current situation, somewhat.

Take it you're the youngest in the family, and got a lotta things blame on you, when you were growing up, that weren't actually your fault?

Thanks for the encouraging words there, Molly. And I know I know I can cope on my own, cuz I managed a couple months ago when my mum f*cked off to console my sister in Ireland at short notice. So it was just me and my oldest sister, giving me support. And even she said I'd more than likely manage on my own.

There comes a point where you have to look after #1 and that it's ok to take care of you first. It seems like you need to take that to heart. Be selfish!!

And advice on how to handle the constantly guilt-tripping my family subject me to for "being selfish". As this is the tactic they freqently use whenever I try to put myself first. Don't even feel like I've been living for myself, like ever. I'm always being told what to do. Always gotta ask permission before I'm even allowed to do something for myself. :sad: Cuz if I don't my mother or older sister get pissed off at me, for "not lettin' 'em know". :kickingmyself:

Don't know what to do, where 'ae go? Ah feel like ah've suffer so much in this life, ah don't truly deserve to be happy. :sad: Ma mother rarely does anything for me, even though I ask little of her. But then she manages to somehow f*ck it up. The eldest sibling, well, she's got her heid so far up her ain arse, she cun know how shit she is. And middle sister, she the most spoiled, privilaged, jumped-up bitch I've ever had the misfortune of knowing. :kickingmyself:

Cannae quite believe it's take our mum 15 years to realise I'm not the bad yin. And ah never wus. Yet, she's stabbed me, slapped me, told me to take my own life, and berated me everytime I did something for myself or tried to be helpful. 15 years of listening to the same feckin' song on repeat: "I'm fed up.Hate ma life! Wish ah could run away". Being telt how useless and stupid men are - oh the irony!

Nae wonder I'm such a grumpy, miserable, angry b@$%@rd. :veryangry:
And there wus me thinkin' the angry wus just a personality trait that came with being Scottish.

It's worrying to think this will may be the depression that will likely be the death of me. :sad: I wake up with this feeling of utter despair everyday. Can barely bring myself to take care of myself. There's plenty to do, yet I can't be arsed. I feel dead is

And ah know once things are back to being just me, my mother and the oldest sister, things won't change then, either. Not even me go off on a profanity-laden rant will sort things. I'll get the same empty aplogises for the way I've been treated. The same insincere pleas that things will change, as I did last year while I was bed-ridden in hospital and at home after my surgery. But they won't! Nothing ever changes. Because feminists only care about themselves at the end of the day! And they don't give a f*ck who they hurt in order to get their way.

Sorry to rant, but when ya grew-up around people who will stoop to the lowest low to ensure they're demands are met, it's hard to believe they'll change their ways.
