And thus, with a kiss, I die. Or close the box. Whatever. Yes kittens, this will unfortunately be the last post for Thinking Inside the Box. The form has now become inactive. I’m a wee bit sad about it, but hey, it had to be done. It saddens me when a project that starts out to help people ends up being something I can’t put as much time into as I’d like, and ends up getting negative feedback for both that segment and my blog in general. In happier news, I just got a lovely email from another blogger about a potential new project along similar lines, so stay tuned for more on that, along with big-ish changes to my blog in the near future! As I’ve said, anyone who wants direct advice from me or just someone to talk to, please feel free to email me anytime at mypinkheels@hotmail.com, or add me on twitter!
Over and out, Em x.
“Last night I dreamed that I pierced my bellybutton by myself. It did not hurt at all and now I’m totally tempted to do it in real life XD”
“Hey, how did you get the upper part of your ear so big? Can you kinda roll it out? Looks amazing – so much space for earrings and stuff!
I really like your blog <3”
Haha..noooo, no, natural flaw I guess. I got a lot of crap for them as a kid and was always very sensitive about my ears. But yep, blank canvas- that’s how I like to think of them!
“For the past year I have been with a boy that has emotionally cheated on me with so many different girls, even arranging meet ups but I would always catch him out.
He has shattered my heart, I honest to god thought he was the one I would marry.
After this last time it has almost been two weeks since I have text him, he texts me and I don’t reply… I haven’t felt this empowered and confident in what feels like forever!
I’m free!!!!”
“Everywhere you turn, there’s a skinny-pretty girl (in mags/tv) who looks so great, so happy; and I feel sad because I’m not like them.”
“I have recently lost a few friendships and I don’t wish to be friends with them again how do I move on with my life and make new friends?”
I would say time, but I’m still waiting. It’s a hard process, losing true friends, unfortunately, it still happens. New friends- maybe join a club, sport, craft circle? Meet some fellow bloggers? I have met SO many great people online. It’s awesome to find people who share your interests that you wouldn’t necessarily have ever met in a “real life” situation. Just obviously make sure you are familiar with them and do it in public. No 65 year old internet stalkers for meee please!
“For the most part, the bakery I work at doesn’t really make the things we sell. We buy mixes and put it all together.”
“I find this ‘think inside the box’ a bit of a waste of space on your blog. Seriously- if I wanted to read random people’s ’secrets’ I’d go back to livejournal and join one of the numerous lame secret communities.”
“Every single summer without fail my husband decides he wants to buy a new car. I agree that I need a new one this year, but he always wants something outrageously unsuitable for himself (just for kicks) and gets really impatient thinking he has to buy it RIGHT THEN AND THERE and why am I so unfair in thinking that it’s not logical or sensible?? Let alone money-wise??
We spend at least 3 days arguing like crazy over it and he just gets more and more intense. I honestly feel like strangling him!!
He usually realises it’s a bad idea but only because I stop him and force him to think it out. When will he think it out for himself in the first place?!!
If I could pick one personality trait I would change in him, impatience would be it. It makes him irrational, annoying, intense and irresponsible. GRRR!!!
PS. I do love him so…”
“I just felt the need to cry. The anxiety is killing me softly.”
“Once I was standing with a new neighbour and we were talking about all the good things about our street. The guy said how there are kids playing all up the street and they can get a bit full on, but we (him, my husband and I) agreed that they’re just kids being kids.
Some of the neighbour kids overheard that I was saying one kid was getting a bit overly familiar and riding his bike all the way up our sloped driveway to use it as a bit of a ramp to get speed. I laughed about how he wouldn’t be doing it again because my dog scared him (she’s not very big or scary). I feel bad because there was no malice in what I was saying and the kids probably didn’t hear it in context. I feel bad that they might think we hate them. I don’t at all. I was saying it in an almost affectionate way but I know how when you’re a kid something an adult says can stick and you take it a different way.
I know I didn’t really say anything wrong, but it makes me feel bad when I see one of the kids’ mums across the street – what if the kids have told her we hate them? She never waves anymore or says hello!
I don’t know what to do about that (there’s probably nothing I can do), but I wish the kids knew that I don’t mind them at all – only when they haven’t been taught to respect others’ space a little…there’s nothing wrong with that, right? I still feel like a b*tch.”
“Here’s my secret it’s been torturing me for a while now.
I am a totally Team Edward girl. But wait there’s more! With all the talk over whether the last book in the series Breaking Dawn will be made into a movie it got me thinking again how much I wanted something to happen between Jacob and Leah.
There’s still more
A little while ago you told me to challenge myself so I’ve decided I want to write fan fiction about Jacob and Leah. I’m so ashamed of the fact that Jacob interests me that I’m considering making another fan fiction account so I can have my favorite Jacob stories on it without people knowing I’m actually Team Edward.
Pure Torture.
I do enjoy writing Jacob and Leah stories, Jacob is much more fun than Edward.
Ok that’s all.
Thanks hunny bunch.”
