It's raining really hard where I am, so all the little kids can't trick-or-treat tonight. :( But it's not a total loss, I guess, since both of the major shopping malls in my area are doing a trick-or-treat thing, too, so all the little kids can trick-or-treat indoors. :D

Also I just Googled "Where the Wild Things Are Carol" and found out that Carol has a page on a Villains Wiki. I know it's kind of stupid to be sad about it, since you find all kinds of silly stuff online, but I really, really don't think of Carol as a "villain..." I just think of him as a confused, overemotional little kid in a creature suit. He has legitimate wants, needs, and anxieties, but expresses them in inappropriate ways. He acts before thinking and just doesn't seem to "know his own strength." It's also obvious that he cared very deeply for Max and loved him like he was his own son (or "cub," I guess)....these days I can't even watch the scene where Max sails away from the island without crying, because I have an idea of how seeing Max leave made Carol feel....like he just drives everyone away - first the other Wild Things want to build their own separate houses, then KW keeps leaving to see her new friends, and now Max has left him, too (I'm thinking of this from Carol's perspective, mind you). The trouble is, he doesn't know how NOT to keep himself from getting so upset, so angry...although you can sort of tell by the end that he might be somewhat motivated to work on it after the events of the movie.

I'm not at all trying to suggest that Max shouldn't have returned home, KW shouldn't have a life outside her "family" and that the Wild Things shouldn't have houses of their own, nor am I trying to act as Carol's apologist....I just feel like it's kind of pushing it to just give him the label of "villain." I don't see Carol as a "bad" character, just a character who's really sweet and good-natured at heart, but makes bad choices. That is all. :)

I started selling my guitars on the internet. I've sold 2 already. It makes me sad because these guitars weren't just tools. As you know, we aspies can get really attached to our inanimate objects, and I do, too. But I need the money so sacrifices has to be made.

I'm actually new here as of 2 days ago and I did have something happen that made me unhappy, but it happened on Halloween . I had a former friend that I have not talked to for about 5 months show up at my house. I've known him since my days of junior high considered him by best friend. The reason I stopped being his friend was because I believe he stole money from me. I woke up in the middle of the night and he was in my room going through my stuff and I woke up and called him out and he made up some lame ass excuse like he was inviting me to a party. I confronted him, asking if he had stolen from me and he promised me he didn't steal anything. Anyway, I stopped being his friend after this and I made it very clear that I did not want anything to do with him. This was 5 months ago and then yesterday he shows up at my house and is all friendly and stuff and invites me to go to a party with him. I didn't wanna go since I have this acursed f***ing asperger's syndrome and due to this I HATE crowds and I was PISSED that he had the nerve to show up. Needless to say, I told him to piss off the nicest way possible and hopefully I don't see him on my doorstep again.

Well I was happy when the gardener man strata must have sent was trimming unit 8's overgrown tree which has been obstructing the driveway to the point where I have to do a three point turn to get out. But then I came home this afternoon to find that he's also trimmed my tree and whipper-snipped all my smaller plants down to a stick in the dirt. Mother f****r, that garden is in my lot!! :x

I'm sorry you're having to go through that redrobin. I had to get rid of all my guitars, and amps aside from my Primary guitar and amplifier about a year ago to make a move affordable so that I could make a life change in the right direction. A few of the guitars were rather memory laced and sentimental of good times and people.

I hope you are faring well... I'm a bit younger so I imagine they meant much more to you in the time you've had available to own them. I hope you've at least gotten to keep one :(

It helped me to just not let myself access my emotions or to think about what I was parting with when selling them, and to know that it had to be done, and afterward, accepting that I had no power to get them back and try not to think about them.

The guitar I chose to keep is practically my best friend... so I can certainly fathom your loss if they were all as dear to you as the one I kept.

Lace-Bane is sorry for your losses :(

I have had trouble initiating relationships, and I don't know how to ask a girl out. Thusly, there will be no woman in my life, EVER!

Oh, and I have five days left here before I shut down my account here.

Low blood pressure (from dysautonomia) + trying to paint parent's second story = f'ing exhausted. Only got one wall done.
