All your vices?
I had popcorn for lunch today. If I was addicted to something, it would be popcorn or watermelon during the summer.

I'm feeling particularly misanthropic today. I'm tired of being forced to behave for others' benefit. Fallout from my weekend with family. T says I'm being black and white about it. He's right, but I'm too upset and angry to care.

I think that Roald Dahl is actually a very dark writer. That whole book is a fantasy on how to punish kids who can't behave and the parents who raised them.
I love Roald Dahl. And yeah, he is pretty dark. His adult stuff is downright creepy.

We're taking the kids to a 'cinema experience' of willy wonka and the chocolate factory including a tour of the factory and meeting Charlie and the oompa loompas. I'm more excited than the kids

Up early this morning to drive hubby to work, but off for Good Friday. I suspect I'll find my bed again in a few minutes. It is MUCH too early to be up on an extra day off. It will be a busy weekend. Good Friday Tenebrae service this evening followed by bell choir practice so we don't make complete fools of ourselves Sunday morning at Easter services. We have two services we are involved in ourselves (I think there are 4 total). Eldest son will be joining us tonight and Sunday for services and whatever we end up deciding to do for dinner. His fiancee is working Sunday I believe (hospitals never close).

Morning couch. Well, Artie is in a mood this morning. I just posted to facebook a "dear world" letter that includes "I'm tired of being stuck in round holes that my square peg self doesn't fit in unless I whittle parts of me away." People from all corners of my life pushing me to be this, do that, apply for that job.... none of which feeds my soul..... why the hell doesn't anyone just want me to be who I freaking AM?! I have worked so hard in therapy to come to a place where I am truly starting to love who I am, but obviously no one else in my life does if they all want me to be someone/something else. I will not back down and start hating myself again I will NOT do it!!! And I will not force myself into something at work that I don't want to do just because my boss wants me to do it! Or any of the other things other people want me to be. It's time for this girl to put on a Donald Trump face and say I AM WHO I AM I LOVE ME GET OVER IT OR GO AWAY!

Thank you couchies for letting me rant this morning. And for letting me be who I am. I appreciate you all.

My stalker is calling my office again. This time he's getting to people in other units, and asking all sorts of intrusive questions. These people are all calling me, trying to transfer the call. I've explained about 10 times already to ignore the call, and if they happen to get on the phone with him, to hang up and not engage him. I'm waiting for the detective in my case to call me back so I can add today to the long long list she's already got. Happy Easter. . .

Stressed - that sounds unpleasant. I hope the cops can help.

This is the one where the wife kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then proceeds to feed the murder weapon to the police as they are investigating his murder. Yup. Dark.

I thought that one was funny. I think most of his stuff is funny with some weird or disturbing violent parts tossed in for good measure.

I'm going to be in trouble at work. I threw my headset on my desk when the yjacker came back. F it all. I apologized immediately and told her I'm not feeling well. ****. I hope i don't get fired for doing that. I totally forgot she was coming. I am in a dark mental place today and i don't know why and i don't like it one bit. Not myself. Totally in the grip of something.

LOL! I think adults find it "funnier" than high schooler do; high schoolers find it creepy. It is definitely multi-layered and sparks interesting discussion.

You're not the only one Art. My weekend with my family has done something similar to me. I don't really know why either. T yesterday brought it out even more. :/

I have t tomorrow morning hoping i can shake this off before then or it might get ugly and I'd end up telling her off and quitting. Whatever has hold of me is strong.
