Random Stuff & Fandom Stuff

So my mom always believed in letting me make my own decisions and learn from my mistakes. Whenever I would mess up, she wouldn’t yell at me, she would just talk about how we could fix it or not make the mistake next time. This worked great for me. (In my opinion.) As a little kid I had lots of problems, maybe I was too young to make my own decisions. But I figured out really quickly what is acceptable and what isn’t, and by the time I was in fifth grade, I pretty much followed all the rules and tried to be nice to everyone.

I also have a little brother. She tried the same tactic with him. The only problem is, different people are different. While I probably would have tried to rebel if my mom had been strict, without punishment, my brother’s behaviors never got corrected. His peers were nicer to him then they were to me, he never changed his behavior for social reasons. He got suspended once, but the problem is, he hated school. That wasn’t a punishment. The result of my parents never disciplining him? 

Metal: *very quiet screaming*

Friend: Can you think of a good murder?

Me: H. H. Holmes, Hannibal Lecter, Jack the Ripper

Friend: Murder not murderer

Me: Oh

Me: oops

Friend: But I'll paw through their cases thanks darlin'

Me: I know a lot of forms of fatal torture if that'll help any

Friend: That would be excellent

Friend: The most efficient and swift way to kill someone and dispose of the body

Friend:I'm just a writer not a serial killer

Me: Piano wire to slit their throat, dispose of the corpse in a septic tank

Friend: That is an Excellent idea

Me: You could also mix three crushed cherry pits into their food/drink and that equals a lethal dose of arsenic for two adult men

Friend: That is even better

Friend: Thanks for the ammunition

Me: http://list25.com/25-most-brutal-torture-techniques-ever-devised/

Friend: Oh my god

Me: If the killer has a little more time on their hands, cut the body up into small pieces (head, feet, hands, separate the two halves of each limb, separate hips and ribs by cutting in half at the waist) and from there many things can be done. The body can be ground up and turned into fish chum, hidden in separate cars scheduled for compacting in the dump, buried randomly over a several mile radius away from the killer's home town, put i various dumpsters, dropped into the sewage line at random intervals, scattered through the forest/mountains/ocean to be consumed by animals, and even buried in fresh graves

Friend: You are a fucking genius

Caffeine stays in your system for 4-6 hours, so no high-caffeine anything less than four hours before bed. Go to sleep and get up at the same time every day. 8:00PM-4:00AM. Avoid sleeping in, even on weekends. (I'd say on weekends, shift schedule slightly because I'll have nothing to do at 4:00AM. So instead, 9:00PM to 7:00AM) Do not nap. Do not go to sleep until it's time to go to sleep. Expose yourself to sunlight in the morning (tea on front porch) Spend more time outside (run in when you get home, or practice archery) Do homework near window. Do not go on electronics within an hour of sleep. No watching television before sleep Room must be dark at night. Get enough excercise (nightcore, archery, woods, actual excersises...) Don't eat right before bed. Don't drink too many liquids in the evening. No sugar or carbs. Wind down and clear your head. (EX: NON-CAFFINATED tea, meditation, writing in a journal, and listening to calming music.) Relaxation techniques before bed: deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, visualizing a peaceful, restful place, bedtime rituals. Keep your room dark, cool, and quiet.

This is what I did half a second ago:

“I think I want to draw”

“Do we have a sketchbook?”

“Nope, but there’s a random doodle book in the corner.”

“Okay cool. Let’s draw things that aren’t what it’s telling us to draw.”

“I need art supplies.”

I then grabbed a random package of markers from when I was about 6, half of which probably didn’t even work.

“Perfect.”
