Just one quick bitch, part two

That is such a nice thing to say, DirtDawg.

Thing is, writing online is so much different to handling rl stuff. In rl I would be staring at my shoes in response to your comment. I just wouldn't know what to say. I would feel warm and fuzzy though.

Big difference. I get it.

Warm and fuzzies are good, and reading in public is difficult.

My son had to do this last week, reciting a poem he wrote about child slavery in Africa (his work was amazing, actually!) which he HAD to present to the entire class as a part of the assignment.  I practiced with him for four days, he had it down with no reason to check for the next line, Had him KNOW what to accent and what to pause for effect, showing gestures at certain places, he had it down and he sounded like MLK or some other famous speaker when we were done. It was amazing to see my son do this.

When it came time to do it in class, he froze and could not speak a word. He had to read it to his teacher alone for partial credit.

... but you still have my vote, kiddo.

Really, really weird me.  I have no problem speaking in public.  No fear, nerves, etc.  Where I fall down is that my eyes and brain stop processing so that I really don't know what I will or have said or whether I've made "eye contact" with my audience.  Predictably it's lead to some interesting sharing in 12 step meetings.

Motherfucking stupid bell end drivers.

Christ's bloody mother in tartarus, would I ever have loved to have the ol' S&W in hand right at that particular moment. Not that I ever do carry it in a city center of course. Not like it would be any use even if I did so, couldn't get a round off without being seen, heard, filmed and probably photographed to boot.

To say buggering well sod all about dogooder have-a-go types that might get the perculiar idea into their heads that someone speeding faster than a squirrel on meth with a packet of airbombs stuffed sideways up its chocolate starfish and a flaming oily rag tied to its tail, and doing it in smack fucking bullseye middle of one of the larger cities in the UK.

This is the first post I've ever read that I've needed a translation from the word "Motherfucking" aside from Lit's Latin Language.  What the blue blazes are you prattling/ranting/raving on about?

Speaking for an audience is no problem for me either. Group dynamics, and participating there though...

Indeed, I did forget those. Think the deserves a place in the list too.

It was a day of extremes today. One kid in bed, the other über-bouncy, both in movement and talk. My brain caved in after a very short time.

Are you guys redcoats?

Why do you keep asking that?

Maybe he's a spazz?

Echolalia? He denies it.

I hate customer-service type work and am crap at it, especially now that I'm older and crankier. 

^ I once worked at KFC and got sacked due to having no people skills. Didn't like it there anyway.

  Gordon Ramsey would probably say that I am strictly "back of house."

So you prefer the rear?

  Clearly you do not understand the food business.

He's right, though.

And yeah, online is different. I think it's why this place works.

I've got a sort of a headache. Feels weird. As if my brain is about to burst out crying, but I am not sad.

There's a bug going around here that causes headaches of a very weird kind. Could be that?
