Ha! I am willing to write about my personal life and feelings about family in my writing...Because I know unless I shove a published work into their face and sit there until they finish reading it (my parents at least), they never will!
My mom would though! But on the subject of writing - In six grade my wonderful swedish teacher told us all to write a nocel. We were all going to do this. I had had an horible teacher before - think the trunchbull - and I had stood up to her very effectivly. Because if there is one thing I do well it's dealing with emotionally abusive idiots. And I got the respect of the whole class. Because I didn't but up with Miss. Trunchbulls shit. And one girl in my class read Matilda and told me I was Matilda. Which is the nicest thing someone has ever said to me - for many reaons. I could write a ton about Matilda and some day I proably will but - My new wonderful Swedish teachers got two students writing about a teacher killing her students. Like, I wish I still had the thing I wrote and if I find it I am translating it into English, imporving it a bit and giving you some commentary about who the diffrent events is a sartirical commenbtary about events at my school because I was one hilarious 11 year old. And my Swedish teacher sat down and probably took a glass of wine and thought - how horrible of a teacher am I? Am I this terrible? And then she asked about it and I explained that no - you arne't and found out I wasn't the only one writing a revenge fantasy. Another guy from m class. I'm amybe going on a date with him. We had a very suggestive facebook chat yesterday. And I could write a very long thing about circle of abuse and shit but eugh... SometÃmes you ust want to go on a date with a guy you've known since you were 6 and not worry so fuckin much! Woo!
Thank you! On a side note, wonder how people would feel if I started measuring time in BS and AS. (Before Sappho and after Sappho)
