And I was in a Death Camp. I'd be the first in line to go into the Gas Chambers, and I would be squealing, "Pick Me!" over and over with an eager Smile on my face. I've caused my Family Members enough embarrassments over the years. Today was my Last Straw. My Mom and I were shopping at 'The Bay', and I was getting hungry. I've told her that I was going to get something to eat. She gave me this evil look and told me that she'll meet me in the Car. She told me with that Charlie Babbit tone in her voice that I was being very rude. Charlie Babbit is Rain Man's younger brother. I've told her that I was sorry, three times and that I hate myself with a passion, and that I heel like harming myself.

My second choice would be to start my Life over again. I'd reach all of my Milestones on time. I wouldn't have any Social Issues. The Obsessions wouldn't be there. I'd be a Diva, instead of a Sheman. Since I wouldn't have had Social Issues, I would have been polite from the time that I've said my First Word, well into my Future and I would never be an Embarrassment to any of my Family Members or Relatives. I'd also be into Hockey and Popular Culture, instead of very unusual things. If I could take NT Pills if I knew that my Days were going to turn out to be like Today, I'd take them, just for those isolated Mornings.

Ah, the 30s. Illegal gin and legal marijuana. The Great Depression and George Gershwin.

Wearing the apron isn't nearly as much fun as pulling on the apron strings.

Do you still live with your mother?

try, "Sorry mum, this is the way I am. Get over it."

Self-acceptance is the first key to the acceptance of others.

Just because she feels bad doesn't mean you have to. We call that co-dependence.

Hope this isn't too much fortune-cookie wisdom.

Well if your going to resort to fantsy to cope with your situation then keep your
dreams realistic. I seen in your past post where you clearily say you want to win
a lottery and buy your dream house. So you think that enough money will remove most
your current problems. You did not fail your parents their genetics and socialization
failed you.
Oh forget winning the lottery there is no cosmic justice thats going to let you
win and the odds are astronomical so stop buying lottery tickets. They served a
purpose in my past (false hope).
I'm living with my mom even though I have the money to live alone. Its not
really lack of money that is holding us back its mostly in our minds. Do not get me
wrong I do not think some mind over matter crap will allow us to be free but we
are not free because of our minds not lack of money.
Not sure what the solution will be. Myself I feel I have very bad inattentive
ADD and when i get treated for that I will be more independent.

I don't understand why your mum was upset. It would have taken all of 5 mins to buy some food, were you holding her up? Did you have to do something else more important?

I can't see how you were rude...

She was talking to a Customer Service Rep. and I've told her that I was going to get something to eat. Than I've gotten into the Car with her, after I've inhaled my Bun and went back inside the Store to look for her. Than she Spazzed-out when I got into the Car. I give up on my Family.

Ah, so she was standing around waiting for you. I get it know.

ED: do you have a cell phone? Myself and all my friends have cells, even my mother, so if I am ever taken over by some wandering urge they know they can ring me and find out where the hell I've gone. (Cause I like to wander off and look at random stuff)

If these were the 1930s, my Family would have put me in a Death Camp, I would have been Gassed, and they would have lived a happy, stress-free Life.

Yeah if I was there I would be waiting in a remote location and derail the train.
I would then unlock all the cattle cars and get you out and get you to the UK to
support the war effort. You would make the final bolt in the last airplane that
finish those nazi scum bags!! ! It took everybody to win the war and CockneyRebel
you did your part. If you think what I'm saying is BS. Remember the good guys
won so people like you and me did their part to make that happen.

This is why I enjoy playing videogames. I am this other person, I don't have any social issues, I can do anything and succeed.

And please don't go into the gas champer. Please! We would miss you, your post and your avatar with the bus and London.

Don't be too upset about your family, we've all been there.

if you were in the 1930s, a better choice to be in rather than going to the gas chamber, would be enlisting in the army. you'd be a soldier that wouldnt be afraid to die, you'd be one of the good guys. if you do get shot and died, (that was what you wanted, right?) you'd be remembered as a hero and your nephews,nieces would be so proud of you and tell their kids how brave their uncle was in WW2. :)
