I'd seriously like to put the world in a headlock today.
As a child I hated that I wasn't allowed to wrestle with my cousins and brother in front of adults. It wasn't "proper"(whatever that means) for a girl to roll around on the ground and put someone in a headlock.
Because I wasn't allowed to fight, in front of adults, I would use that to my advantage. Up until the age of eight I would wait until my mother was walking way ahead of us, I would punch my brother in the arm and then yell out as if he had hit me. My mother would turn around to see me lying on the floor holding my arm and screaming "MORGAN HIT ME!!!" she would tell my brother he knew better, come pick me up and dust off my "wound" as I smirked back at him.
Oh I wasn't proud of this, well I am not proud of this now,but at the time I thought I was getting away with gold at this ability. That was until the day my mother turned back mid "grand dramatic fall to the ground" and I was never able to get away with it again.
Today has been an entirely frustrating day, which is why the whole wide world deserves a headlock, or a least a good punch in the arm.
Contenders for the headlock:
-Lady who made it painfully obvious that I am shy and introverted and she was glad her daughter was not shy.
-Pothead brother who totally may have taken my keys because I am careless and left them on the table(he doesn't have a key to the place for a reason)
-People from highschool.
-Pothead brother who caused another scratch on shitty car.
-nosy neighbor next door who barely lets you walk up the stairs before coming out of her house and trying to sneak a peek into our place
-Pothead brother.
-My nervousness about the school.
-Katherine
-Mike
-Chemistry, Biology, and Math
-Pothead brother because he isn't the older brother you can depend on.
-And me, because I left the key on the table, because I am nervous about school, because I dislike pothead brother, and because I am painfully aware that I am shy and have no idea how to overcome it.
Damn this day, I'm going to lie down and pretend it never existed, and wish to the heavens that Nickelodeon wants to play some old Nick shows for me.

it is OKAY to be shy, even painfully so - though if your shyness hurts you (really hurts you, not through people's asshole remarks) then you do need to make some changes.
School will be fine, you'll see. you and deltron can commiserate - he's back now, too (and i'll join the school-party in two weeks).
and you have friends - you have me. you have other internets folk who like you and think you're perfectly awesome as-is. it isn't the same, i know, but we're here for you.
and older siblings are just a curse in life, pothead or otherwise. my own older sibling has pissed me off my needlessly complicating my life whilst i'm trying to move.
think about kittens. go to cuteoverload.com. it'll cheer you up and calm you down.
