Hello Graeme, I just want to say thank you for sharing your stories, I've really enjoyed reading them (which I have been doing on and off throughout the day).
Och, it's nae bother... Y'know whit ah mean like? Wait... Ye mean youse lot actually understood me when ah write in Scots?
Having read the thread throughout the day, I noticed your more down days come after recalling something from your past. This happens to me too. I'll recall something from years ago and it will be stuck in my head for days. After a few days of thinking of all the shite that has happened and all the things I wished I had (have) the guts to do, I will sink into a depressed state that can last a few days to a few weeks. My poor mum must find it exhausting living me lol.
Aye, well ah suppose wi' me it's mair the fact, ah kinda think aboot whit ah should've done in whatever moment/situation. Y'know, handlin' stuff better or standin' up fur masel'. Though, ma mum must find me a total pain in the arse tae live wi' -
but ye cun same the same thing aboot hemorrhoids...
Aaanywho, as shitty as the after effects are, it can be quite thereputic to get it out there in the open, be it good memories or bad.
Aye, that true. Better than huvin' it in yer heid aw the time. Plus, the good memories can be a right laugh, sometimes.
I take it from what you've said, you couldn't sit down with either your mum or your older sister and say how the situation with your sister is making you feel?[/QUOTE]
No' withoot it aw bein' ma fault. An' them cryin' sayin' that I'm
"...always pickin' on them". Right, basically, if ah think your wrong or ah hightlight a flaw in yer character... -
Eh? Naw, ah dinnae need a marker pen, yer awright. :sarcastic: Ah know, most uh these jokes're jist fur ma amusment. Funny that, innit? - I'm the ones who being a arsehole, and I'm in the wrong, ah've misunderstood.
Ah mean, the honest thing tae would be tae admit yer mistake,
instead o' dancin' aroon the issue like Michael Flatley takin' a soberty test.*
* (Ah wonder how many on here got that joke..?) :thinking:
Sorry to hear you had a crappy relationship with your dad, he sounds like a hard man and if he didn't appreciate the good man you had become without him, then more fool him.
Hard man, ma dad? Physically intimidatin' presence, aye. But ah've got an accent that sounds like ah'm gonnae beat the shite oot o' ye, even when being friendly. That's what the Scottish accent sound like on guy. On a lassie, the Scottish accent sounds either adorable, sexy or somewhat confused. The only time it's every tense is when she says:
"Whit d'ye mean by that, exactly?"
But, ah digress... Ah think ma relationshp with ma dad failed because he arrogantly felt like ah owed him. When he owed me more than £30 or £50 he'd gave as Christmas or birthday present. And condoms for ma 18th birthday.
Yep! Seriously, but ah didnae ask if they were one size fits all.
I hope I haven't offended you with anything I have said, I'm not used to talking, (in life or via the internet) to people. This is my very 1st attempt at any kind of website lol. 23 and a forum virgin, who'd have thunkd it, eh haha.
Ah'm no' use tae talkin' in real life or online either. So ah cun relate, yer not alone there, pal. Ah know that ma posts on here cun make it seem otherwise. But really, ah'm stutterin', nervous wreck when ah talk in real life. Honestly, ah'm like a junkie playin' Jenga...
And you've not offended me at all, mate. If ah wuz, ah'd let ye know. Because Scottish people are like that. If we don't like somethin', we'll tell ye.
"Whit d'ye make o' that then, Tam?"
"Shite! Pish! Wank! Honestly, Jimmy, ah'm speechless"
or... If yer partical tae some o' the mair profane language use by Scots?
"See you? Ah think you're a
c _
n t, by-the-way"
"Aye, well... Ah think yer a
c _
n t anaw, ya screwy lookin' basturd!"
"Och, yer awright. C'mere, fancy a pint?"
^ That's the closest 2 Scots get to be diplomatic.
Didnae apologies fur wafflin' on. Huv ye seen half ma post here? F**kin' hell, there's like a f**kin' novel half the time. Rhythmically, that 2nd swear-word wuz'nae really needed, but f**k it! Ah'll leave as it is, it reads better.
I can't wait to read more of your thoughts and memories, believe you are NOT boring.
Thanks fur that wee compliment...
Cheers! :brindis: Fawlty Towers.[/SIZE]
Whit d'ye want tae hear me waffle on aboot next? Ah've got a few high school memories that might be slightly amusing fur youse involvin' me being socially anxious around ma peer group and those of the female persuasion.
Or ah can tell youse aboot that time ah very nearly f**ked up Janeane Garofalo's debut stand-up comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, by sayin' summit ah shouldnae huv said out loud.
The 3 options is more deeply embarrassin' photos of me... Smiling handsomely.
