Friday, March 20, 2009 ( 11:20 AM ) shut up christine earlier this week when amy and i were having lunch, the topic of child discipline came up i was raised with a firm hand, and my parents did an awesomely great job but i think when i have my own kids, i will discipline them differently. who knows, its easy to say that now and i'm sure i will make many many mistakes of my own as a parent one thing i always used to get was "stop crying, or i'll give you something to cry about" then we'd get the belt my sister got the same schpiel, and she always got into a lot more trouble than i ever did but our personalities are like night and day. she's very loud, outspoken, and loves attention, and fortunately for her she can laugh off anything whereas i was introverted and borderline mute. my emotional outlets were quiet things, like writing or crying and when i couldn't (or wasn't allowed to) cry, i internalized my frustration and withdrew deeper into myself and i came up with weird ways to cope-- not drinking, not drugs, not talking it out with friends, like normal people do-- i took it out on my furniture specifically, my desk. i fucken chewed on my desk, yall i literally took bites out of it, like ripped out chunks of wood with my teeth, gnawing on it like a hamster the teethmarks are still there (this desk is now in our garage) i don't do that anymore. thank god its pretty hilarious when i think back on it. i was a strange kid. i also dressed up like a raccoon until sixth grade anyway i'm having a garage sale take home a desk for ten bucks #
