Oh well, money's better than vouchers anyway. Wouldn't want to be tied to Netflix myself. They said my computer's too old and locked me out.

Re the story of the hens: I always try to make sure that in an egg box, which has 2 rows of six eggs, there are always as many eggs on the left hand side of the box as on the right. Also I don't like seeing unequal numbers on the top and bottom rows.

At least you know the eggs aren't going to rearrange themselves the minute your back is turned.

I like to keep all the eggs to one end of the box, and always put it in the fridge with the eggs nearest to the door, but I think it's just so I can predict its centre of gravity so I don't drop the box when I remove it. I don't like odd numbers of eggs in the box, but that might be because I'd be left with one egg at the end and I generally use 2 at a time, so it would be a bit awkward. At some point I'd have to get eggs out of 2 boxes, and that's more work, and there isn't much space to put the boxes down. And the way they make egg boxes these days it's much easier to drop the lot if you can't put the box on a stable surface. Flimsy plastic rubbish, nowt wrong with the old cardboard ones.

That I had always been aspiring to be free from internal crap I've been dealing.

That I was right.

And maybe...
If I'm done with the crap...

I will be free.
And when I'm free... I will choose to outgrow the need to say stuff about it to the world or to anyone.

Yes, yes, I'm a human and that life has ups and downs, blah blah blah.

But I am just so, so sick of it, you know?
I want my life stop being about coping and ranting over the same things over and over.

And if I want ups and downs, I want it not about the same crap; not about the chronic sneezing shite, not about "autism" or "being autistic", not about having the nuisances of being born female...


That I promised to myself even to my Sped teacher; that I want it to be over when I'm 30.


I'm turning 30 in about a month and few weeks.
And maybe that's even my wish; all of this crap about "me" -- done by the time I turn 30.

As a young child, I had hyperlexia - but back then, no one even thought it could be the sign of a potential disorder - what is more, when my mom realized that I was just 2,5 y/o nevertheless I could read as well as herself, she was sure that she had given birth to a genius, a child prodigy. At 5 I already read books for teenagers, at 7 - books for adults and I spelled everything 100% flawlessly, I was like an adult, highly educated person in this respect. I wish we had so called "spelling bees" in Poland :D

That's clever, nicking my intellectual property and swapping the words round to make it look original.
