part 353 whalers on the moon

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

I did just now and... shiiiit there's a lot in here. I am a terribly irregular blogger, why do I even bother leaving the ask function on.

Ooooh, some people have sent dirty ideas & kink talk too! :D Always a pleasure. (Is one of these messages yours, anon?)

Now, what's this you say about a present~?

I just bought this 1888 book called Decorum and it's unintentionally hilarious in the best ways.

Full title page reads DECORUM: A Practical Treatise on Etiquette and Dress of the Best American Society, Including Social, Commercial and Legal Forms, Letter Writing, The Toilet, Toilet Recipes, etc., etc.; also Valuable Suggestions on Self-Culture and Home-Training Revised from the Latest Reliable Authorities by Richard A. Wells, A.M.

You should join me in my terrible badness, anon! Badness is better with company~ щ(≖ヮ≖щ)

And what a lovely present - and so beautifully wrapped, too! You shouldn't have (except yes, yes you should have and in any case too late for take-backs now)!

What a depraved suggestion.

I'm glad you noticed the wrapping. I worked hard on it.

Tl;dr and stream of consciousness - this is awful

My parents won't stop asking what my "real problem" is. Like, can I not just be tired or sick of doing what I'm doing or not really know what my problem is? They always think I'm keeping something from them. So when I get asked that I've started to just answer something that isn't really a problem but eh it's a little annoying. Then of course I get told to grow up or get lectured somehow about why my "problem" isn't a good reason.

I get told I'm childish by my parents almost every day, for various different reasons. I get told I'm "living the good life" at home and that I somehow expect it to last forever. I really want to move out, and I've told my parents so many times, but they don't believe me. I don't have enough money to move out and I'm sucking my way through job applications without responses.

On top of that I have my part time retail job which, while not exactly hard, is annoying and tires me out. I'm afraid to quit though because how will I explain unemployment on my job applications.

My parents made me buy this anxiety and phobia workbook because apparently I have a Problem. Unfortunately, just reading the book makes me feel angry. It's actually convinced me that my parents are the problem here, but I can't do anything about it. I constantly live feeling like I'm not doing enough, and I believe it too.

Over the past year that I've lived at home after graduating college, I've been getting worse and worse. I'm more nervous, more angry, more depressed, more out of control. I hate eating dinner later than I did at college because that's when my family eats. I hate when my parents watch TV at night and I can hear it even when I'm trying to go to sleep. I hate not being allowed to sleep with my window open (or even have it open during the day) because my parents have allergies. I hate not being able to get up as early as I did in college because [insert many stupid reasons here]. I hate feeling like I'm being judged for everything I do or don't do. I hate being yelled at, especially out of the blue and for imagined or yet-to-happen reasons. I hate listening to my parents scream and yell at each other for over an hour. There are so many things I hate about living in this house I'm not even going to list them all.

I'm not even afraid of anything in particular, even though my dad claims I must be afraid of every stupid little thing. Sometimes I "admit" to being afraid of some (always irrational) thing because I keep getting asked about it and maybe some idea crossed my mind. I believe for a minute that maybe I am afraid of that thing. Then I think about it later, and no, I don't really care. I just need a good job but I am seriously struggling to apply and also struggling to get help to apply. I have some mental block that's probably residual teenage rebellion against my parents because I never had a rebellious phase as a teenager. I was always a good kid who got straight A's in school and didn't get in trouble and always listened to my parents and why can't I do that now. What's my problem?? Why am I not good anymore???????

I want to vent more but now I'm crying and I'm sorry for not being perfect and I don't want to make it seem like it's all my parents' faults. No, it's gotta be all my fault. I just am so used to living on my own at college I've been unable to readjust. Only bad children blame their parents for things they can't control.

Oh, anon, if you think that's depraved, you've clearly been being good for far too long. You'd better start being bad now, before the excessive goodness ruins your health!

Your knot-tying skills are superb, anon! I find the wrapping is so key to making sure certain presents remain... secure... in transit.

...and I promise I will make good use of this present.

I think this will become me in a few months when I finish college and move back home. I'm scared, I don't want it to happen. I've been doing SO WELL here, I've made so much progress in a lot of ways, but I know that when I go back home everything will just stop and I'll go in reverse. I'm not getting 'better' fast enough for my family. I can't function like they do.

I always liked that old story (I think there are multiple variations in different countries, it's a pretty basic cliche) about the haunted hotel room where nobody can stay the night. Naturally, some young guy wants to show off or win a bet and decides to do it, and his friends are to watch the door to make certain he stays in there the whole night and that no one else enters. In the middle of the night, there's a scream and the friends dash in too late, to find the young man dead, with a look of horror on his face
