Social Chatting -- December 2015

*composes myself* Anyway...... what did you do today?

*tries to remember what I did today* xP Well, Bethany and I had a friend stay the night, so we were hanging out with her this morning. Then I did some math and psychology to try to get caught up, ate dinner, watched a movie with my family, and now I'm chatting on here and working on a blog post. xD How about you?

I wrote a blog post yesterday.

I wrote… 4 blog posts yesterday…

We good?

grimaces

Ok, well all my grammar skills have gone into my blog, and I don't have enough energy left to use it properly here. We good?

My grammar skills go into my blog as well, and I still have plenty left over. Where do your punctuation skills go?

I woke up with much delight. And then great sadness when I remembered that I had to leave my cousin's place… but rejoicingat the thought of seeing my babyest sister. I drove half way to Ohio, and then home. And when I got home i asked Cianna, "Hey girl!" She said, "What?" Just as clear as that! She learned to talk well i was away!

Hm. That is what I thought.

*yells* THERE WILL BE NO REST HERE... until he comes back!!!! *tears out hair* This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! WHYYY? My question go unanswered....

You never do this when I leave. Are you alright?

Yeah……. that guy just has my chain. :P sorry if I upset you.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN!

So sorry, Margaret! I haven't been online much lately, and it's showing.

Lol yup. Way to much work.

Thats why this paragraph was impossible.

Well, I've been thinking about elephants with big, floppy ears, what a giraffe with a short neck would look like, how a walrus would use a smartphone, and whether, if I could, I would want to be able to change the color of my skin like a chameleon.

Especially that last one.

Ignoring the less-than-stellar grammar…

Aw! Don't you love it when kids surprise you with what they can say? xD This evening, Zeke was watching something-or-other on Youtube where Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were chanting, "Tick tock, tick tock, we have to fix the cuckoo clock!", and Zeke suddenly said, "Tick tock, tick tock, fix cuckoo clock!" xD xD

Ok, seriously Sarah, stop assuming that we are easily upset and apologizing for it! I was just kidding you. If the fact you holler when Seth leaves upset me, I would completely deserve every bit of upset-ness I inflicted on myself. Remember this next time you feel like apologizing for something that is ridiculous.

EDIT: I almost said this when you apologized to Seth a few minutes ago for something that I can't even remember, but I figured I would wait until you apologized to me sometime for something really small.

Thank you, Margaret. I greatly appreciate your help. I am struggling greatly. Guess what! I have an English test next Tuesday. Pray for me!
shakes head Where were you when we needed you most? We needed you to help Carissa. :)

Now you must not get upset at me for saying this. It is for your own peace and clarity of mind.

Your help is much loved and appreciated! Thank you!

*shakes head* Where were you when we needed you most? We needed you to help Carissa. :)

I know, right?

Ah, you will need my prayers.

I thought that I got on a soap box for Carissa a couple years ago… but I don't remember where it was.

Yeah!!!

is still frustrated at self because Seth is gone…. My stupid forgetful brain. Ugh….

Stop it. xP

It'll be by the grace of God. There's no other way.

Oh yeah! I remember that!

Yeah!!! *is still frustrated at self because Seth is gone....* My stupid forgetful brain. Ugh....

Ah! Now, none of that! You have a problem with how God made you in His great wisdom? You want to be something else? Careful! That is the sort of thing that Satan got kicked out of heaven for!

(That was something along the lines of what my soapbox for Carissa was.)

Stop it. xP

Ok… I guess I should go fill out applications and take out my frustrationthere. :) I hope I gave you all some excitement.

Sarah dear, frustration and worry would be a great deal remedied if it drove you to prayer, rather than some other outlet.

Sarah dear, frustration and worry would be a great deal remedied if it drove you to prayer, rather than some other outlet.

;) In all honesty (although it upsets me a bit) I don't care so much as I pretend on Memverse. I will pray… thank you for the reminder! Hopefully I will live on long enough to ask someday… and if I don't, it won't matter that much. :)

Psalm 139…. I am loving that Psalm tonight!

Stop it. xP

I am talking more of your frustration with yourself in general than pertaining to this particular scenario. I have noticed it and not said anything for a long time, so I figured, while I was at it, I might as well tell you how to deal with your tendencies toward self-belittling when you sense it coming on at any given time.

Psalm 139.... I am loving that Psalm tonight!

That is one of my favorites. I memorized it back before I started Bible Bee, so sometime before I was twelve.

Mhm. Thank you. I just don't know when it's appropriate to be humble, and when it's appropriate to play my stubborn card. I have both in me. It's so hard to walk a line and be humble, and still be strong about one's self. I think that I do much better in person about this. When things are online I overthink things too much.

That's neat! I would love to memorize it… but not sure I have the time right now.

Assume people are tough, just kidding, or both, and they will probably end up being more open and honest with you than if they are worried that you will take anything they say seriously and to heart. Also, this will mean they will probably take what you say less seriously themselves. If you lead the way in not taking, or assuming other people will take, things personally, they will most likely not assume that you meant what you said personally, if it could be taken that way.

For instance, no one takes me completely seriously, because I do not assume they will, and take no one completely seriously myself. Not that I am the sterling example of a great friend. I do seem to manage pretty well online, though, even without emoticons.

True! The trouble is that I read something, and at first it will be all good… but then I keep chewing over what was said until it turns into something other than what was meant. And the same thing happens with things I say. I say it and then try to imagine all the ways they might be hurt or upset with me… and then I get scared. Anyway, I've improved greatly since the days when I deleted every other post I made.

Haha! It's easy for you! You have perfect punctuation. Nobody ever miss understands you. Jk ;)

Yes, but how often do you chew over what other people say and think of all the ways it should offend you?

Sarah, I know exactly what you mean by that… So you're not alone, just so you know. ;)

Oh, they sometimes misunderstand me, but I guess they think, "Oh, that's just Margaret", and assume I meant something incredibly profound or funny, and it just went over their heads, or something like that, and if I do offend them with some silly thing like saying that I don't like "We Three Kings" (this happened once), I tend to view the experience as good for them, since they will not survive life well if they get upset at something that little.

Oh yes, I understand too, but what I came to ask myself is: is this a proper depiction of reality?

Sometimes it turns into that, to my shame. is embarrassed Haha! I was kinda joking about being upset (at least to the degree of yelling)… and jokingly apologized for it because I wasn't planning on stopping, because I knew nobody was offended.
However, it lead to a good discussion. So I don't regret it. :)
Hello, brother Matthew!

Haha! Seriously? You don't like that song? I have a friend who is totally nuts about that song… he even sung it for me. I can't say I loved it either…. but it wasn't terrible. :)

Hey, sister Sarah! I'm sorry to say that I can't stay. :\ Goodnight!

I think every insicure person should have a Margaret Eddy in their lives to help them find their weaknesses and become better persons.

Yep. I know that you were just joking about both those things, but I think you should develop your sense of humor to involve more than apologizing and bashing yourself, especially since you do those outside of joking, so sometimes I can't tell when you are serious or joking, or both at once, and I've been wanting to talk to you about it for a while, so I just took the first opportunity.

Now, back to normal.

Hey, sister Sarah! I'm sorry to say that I can't stay. :\ Goodnight!

Aww… ok. Goodnight, and sleep well.

I doubt that I would be able to handle all the insecure people in the world, but thank you for your vote of confidence.

I have a new favorite Christmas song.
