Cornflower: Happy feet
I was taking stock of my 'wips' today and was fairly pleased that there were only four of them (other knitters - who shall be nameless - have typically rather more than that, it seems). But a few crafty rows...
what do these 3 dreams mean?
Michelle
I’m in this place, the place where, well I guess you could say “the crazies” belong. I don’t remember much. I don’t remember why. All I know is I tried tried to kill myself. I cut to deep, bled too much. I don’t know why I tried, they said I had amnesia at first then as the days past I remembered, cutting, screaming for help, but after that I don’t remember at all. They say now I just don’t want to tell, some experts they are. I can’t possibly be crazy can I? I mean for years I made fun of the “emos” (stupid stereo types,) I can’t just be one of them now, can I? Well one thing is certain I’m going to figure this out. But I’m only one person how can I do that on my own? And besides Mommy and Daddy dearest sent me here because they believe that I am crazy and they don’t want to deal with a crazy teenager.
“Michelle, time to go.”
Jake
I’ve been in this godforsaken place for two years now. Two very long years. All I need to do is tell why I took to many pills, way too many for it to be accidental anyway. After all how can someone take almost a full bottle and it be accidental? Stupid to try to kill yourself but if you knew my story you’d understand. But like I’m going to tell you. I haven’t told anyone so why on earth would I tell you? I can never and will never revile the truth after all two years in a place like this, with just about every other teen who has tried to kill themselves and no one has told a soul with the exception of one or two people. I might hate this place but some of the people here are actually pretty cool. I mean we all tried and failed. But that’s beside the point. I guess you could say I care in some twisted way. But whatever.
“Jake, let’s go.”
Damien
I told once, my mother but she didn’t believe me. That’s the main reason why I’m here, in this place going on two years. I told once and once is enough, I will never tell again. You will never know the person I used to be, the person my friends and family miss but I’m not going to apologize for being who I am. I guess what they say is true teenage years are the hardest. Right? Of course they are you realize no one really cares there all just extremely good at pretending. No one wants to deal with you and you’re teenage problems. That’s why I’m here mom doesn’t want to deal with me. She says I’m a lying little bastered who just doesn’t want her happy. Whatever I really don’t care what she thinks after all she’s dead to me.
“Damien, time for the group discussion.”
Michelle
Time for group therapy is what she meant. I have no clue what it will be like; I’ve been locked in the same room for weeks. They wouldn’t let me out; they brought me food and escorted me to the restroom. Left foot right foot left foot right foot I kept saying over and over again in my head so the halls wouldn’t bug me as much. I mean there so clean organized mot a thing out of place, to shiny for walls. You just want to mess it all up, at least I do. I just want to go somewhere, not home though Mommy and Daddy dearest would just send me right back here so they won’t have to deal with me. I mean I can’t even remember trying to kill myself then again the scar on my wrist is enough, Cut vertically way to deep for it to just be to revile stress. The guard, nurse whatever she is opened the door for me and there it was the group session, Two boys and now three girls. One boy had deep set blue eyes he has black hair it’s down in his face and he has muscle and looks like you might not want to piss him off. The second boy has Hazel eyes brown hair and is rather scrawny. The girl has short blonde hair green eyes and looks like she hasn’t eaten in weeks. I sit in the chair next to the girl.
“Everyone this is Michelle” Shelly, her name tag read, said. Everyone looked at my wrist and at the bandage it had on it
Is this a good beginning?

what do you do when everything that made you is gone?
its for 7th grade creative writing class.
The good fought the evil, won, and lived happily ever after.
That's how it always goes. The same things repeat over and over again, forming an almost fact: The evil always suffers.
There are two sides to my story. One from others' point of view, and one from mine, the story that is unnoticed. Most believe the others because they think that they're right. It's like a battle, 100 versus one. They are the happy ones.
I stare at the now blank whiteboard, then turn back to the corner of my notebook to finish doodling. The pattern was simple- two vertical lines, two horizonal lines, and circles in the boxes that the lines created.
As they wait for the last bell to ring, Derek whispers to the guy next to him, snickering. I give him the daggers, my lips tight. He flinches but turns around to his friend and conspicuously mouths,
“Psycho.”
I am not psycho, I am not mental, I am not evil or a ghost lingering around. I’m usually in the wrong place at the wrong time, causing an accident, riot, death… Of course, no one believes that. To them, I am the different one, the mental, psychopath 13 year old.
My family says I was a mistake, an accident that was not meant to be. They are ashamed to be seen with me and afraid that I really am evil. No one knows how much that hurts, to be unwanted. It was a huge gap in my life that I could not fill up like the squares in my notebook.
The bell rings, and I run up to the door before anyone else. Senora Rachelle yells at me to slow down, but I don’t care. The purgatory is over, and I can go to my happy place.
The fifth graders point at me, but I keep walking, ignoring them. I jump onto my red bike and pedal- one, two, one, tow. The trees and people are now a blur, and the wind blew my hair away from my face. I ride to the park, go behind the bushes into the most grassy area where the big pine tree stands, unnoticed by most.
This is my sanctuary. The only place I can be by myself for hours without being disturbed. It smells like nothing but grass. My own and personal heaven.
I peek over the fence. There’s a gang of high school football players picking on a small girl and talking dirty. People stare, but don’t do anything about it. I put my head down, fiddling with my fingers.
“…curse that Emma Gregory kid…” I overhear.
My head jerks back up. There is a sudden fire burning in my guts. No one had any right to blame me for everything bad that happened.
“…probably a modern day witch or something. She has those big creepy eyes…”
The heat roars and rises up to my face. My face is probably the color or pepperoni. Modern day witch? Where did they think they were, in a Hollywood movie?
Suddenly, out of nowhere, something invisible slams the football players with a strong force and they fly five feet from where they are standing. My fire cools, and I find my nails digging into my palm. I release them as they reveal four clear, pink lines.
The gang is freaking out. The big one is punching the smallest one, and the others are running away. So am I. I only look in front of me, nothing else.
What was I running from? The fear? The guilt? I don’t know. I move my feet at insane speed, almost hysterically. It feels like I’m walking on air, above the clouds, soaking in all the sunlight.
By the time I reach the house, my lungs are about to explode. Matt and Amber are sitting on the dining table doing their homework. Amber gives me a soft glare, one that never scares me. Matt ignores me, eating his pizza.
How is my story for creative writing class?

What was your b-day dedicated to? (Check details)?
Got this in an email thought y'all might find it amusing.
WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.Ok people this was meant as a joke. Just a bunch of hormonal women bitching about having to go through all this stuff that men don't have to. Get a sense of humor@Supertop-Try being the one that's never pleased.
Why men are happier than women?
ok guys, anyone who knows how much it SUCKS to be EXTREMLY SKINNY knows how im feeling.. and im soooo super tall, which makes it so much worse, because i look even more discusting. i get called bean pole, and it kills me inside.
not to mention, i run track, and while im trying to eat a lot, it just doesnt matter because i run the mile..
i also have a super high motabolism, guys, what do i do?! please please help.
im tired of hearing that "ii should be happy with the body i have" because now ive just come to the point where i hate wearing sneakers because i have big feet and my legs are too skinny and it looks weird.. my legs are so long,, and i cant even fit into a 00 long, bc i can never find it, just regulars so they are to short and just... ahhhh please guys, im begging.
i need to gain weight, but i run track?!?
By the age of 19, I had already left my parents home and was living with my fiancee, also 19. After the engagement, I found out I was pregnant with my first child -- a boy. And even though James was excited, I was terrified; I had never even wanted children. While pregnant, James was gone a lot. He worked for his father and was traveling constantly; I'm not real sure, I was never that involved with his work. Due to the fact that I was alone, without friends or family, I started to struggle with depression. I was lucky enough to have slipped out of it by the time my son was born. Though my relationship didn't have that much luck. James and I split, unable to compensate for the distance.
We dated off and on until our son was four. It didn't officially end until I came home and found him in bed with another woman. Unable to handle the betrayal, I ran straight into the arms of his brother. We weren't together five months before we were engaged and I was pregnant.. again. Arthur was around a lot, which left me with an optimism for the relationship. I was wrong, however, when I came home and found Arthur and all his things gone. My daughter was born two months after he left me.
For two more years, I was single, dating here and there, but mainly focusing on my kids. I battled with depression the entire time, struggling to maintain life as a single mother. It wasn't until I met my husband, Lucas, that I finally felt whole again. He swept me off my feet and I was instantly in love. We eloped less than a year after marrying and immediately began discussing the topic of kids. After some trying, we were blessed with our daughter. We now had four kids (my two, his teen daughter, and our baby). Things were well.. until a year and a half later when I found out I was pregnant.
Though happy, our marriage was struggling before then and neither of us was sure that we could fix it. I didn't think it was that bad, however, until I found him in our room... dead. He had committed suicide.
That was months ago and I am now raising all five kids alone, including the son I have birth to three months ago.
My question is: am I a horrible person for the anger I feel for our son? He looks so much like his father and just looking at him brings back the angry feelings I have towards my late husband. Though I love him, I find it hard to be around him.
Am I a horrible person?
Fathers sock on Xmas night, going First Footing on New Years Day. (Are the memories coming back?) Hows about?, Decorated Easter eggs (Did you Jarp them, or roll them down the hill?,They were happy times, were they not. You can remember!? Good...

Hi, my name's Cole and I am a sophomore in high school. I played baseball up until 7th grade and during that year, I had lost all interest in the sport. I consider the last time I played well to be 6th grade. Freshman year rolled around last year and I signed up to try out for baseball. I practiced very little and was basically a walk-on. The tryout consisted of three days. The first day we threw with a partner, hit in the batting cages, bunted -- a whole lineup of stations. In the end, we sprinted for 30 minutes. I was basically wiped out at the end of it and the next day we were outside for about 6 hours. We did the same stations except outside because the previous day, it was flooded in the field. At the end of practice, my arm was basically dead because to put it frankly, my arm was not used to throwing. The third day was the same or less, except we sprinted less. At this point, I was on the fence about my performance. I had hit crappy the first day, hit decent the second day, and hit really well the third day. I play left field and my fielding was extremely shaky. I was hesitant, balls went over my head, balls went through my legs, and my throws were short. At the end of the third day, there was nothing more humiliating for me to read the list of kids who made it and to go into the locker room with all of my friends cheering and high-fiving while I stood dumbfounded. Luckily, that cut from the team was the motivation I needed to step up my game.
I joined the exact same team I played for in seventh grade, the one I did nothing but sit on the bench for. Now at this point, the kids are all the same on the team from 7th grade however none of them recognize me because: I had long hair and I had short hair now and I grew about an entire foot.
I did not practice any more and just played the games. I became increasingly worse and finally one game, I took off my mitt and came to my senses and realized my left hand was in great pain. The next day, both hands were absolutely killing me. The back of the hands, palms (and later in the summer, my fingers from being jammed in basketball [they never recovered and still aren't today]) and hands as whole were in pain. I stopped the baseball for two or three weeks and came back. I was swinging and missing every pitch. I and the coaches noticed I was swinging for the fences every pitch and I was swinging and ending up looking at the fence instead of keeping my eye on the ball.
The season passed and in the final game, I struck out once, flew out, and then I was up for the final out. BOOM. A single. That was the start of my journey. I felt so happy, I came in clutch and felt rejuvenated. The next batter struck out but I went home happy.
I got into a summer team as well to help with my practice. We practiced every day for two weeks and it kept seeming like my arm was getting weaker and my throws were wild. This discouraged me greatly and to add to the discouragement, I was batting like crap.
Then one practice, we were fooling around and playing home run derby in a kids field. I decided to take another kid's bat which was about 2 ounces lighter and shorter (I was using a 34-33). Boom, homerun. I absolutely knocked it out and I was shocked to see it soaring in the air. Boom, homerun. Boom, fly out. I was shocked and decided maybe the bat was reason for me striking out.
We then had a scrimmage the next day and I used my regular bat. I played right field and did alright but still, I was unsure of myself out there, almost like I didn't know what to do if I got the ball--just not with the game mentally.
I came to bat and 2 strikes. The entire team "Psh, this kid's killing me." "SWING THE BAT." "Keep your eyes on the ball." Smack, I ripped one down left field and I was so shocked, I stood and watched, trotting. It hit off the fence and before I knew it, I was only at first and the ball was in already. I ended up getting a liner to left and an infield hit. I was pleasantly surprised with myself.
Is there anything I can do to help prepare for baseball season?
Just the other night I had a nightmare that some guy covered in dirt (he was all brownish but white underneath was trying to break in so me and my mom camped the window to the bathroom, and then we saw a limb move and the guy peeked in and then ran off. The dream ended with me screaming in anger and getting ready to throw my favorite foot stool at the guy.
The second dream is of me riding on my brothers back (piggy back) and going through our kitchen. Somehow our roof was glass like by the sink and we saw a huge flaming ball of fire rain from the sky, but then for some reason I see it hit LA that already looked like it was in post-war and the dream ended with me being glad it hit there and not here.
My third and latest dream which was from this morning was of me being near a graveyard, well looked like a garden and I was there trying to sleep in it on a crate near it. And saw these huge night crawlers that had eyes and mouths like in a cartoon pop up and down, so I started humming "la la la-la lalalalalala" like in that spongbob episode I saw when I was 8. Then I got closer when they left the whole and it was like they morphed into some kittens and cats, and I was like (but they died) yet I was so happy that I started loving them and saw they looked exactly the same, just had some skin scars and their eyes were a pukish green. Then next a lot of people started coming back from the dead, I started seeing wacky people like a cowboy in a white trench coat with ZZ top style hair (lol spikes pointing out to side in narrow layers) and more people and more and more and more and then I woke up cause I had to go to the bathroom but it was scary.
After the first two dreams I got the chills and after all of them my heart was beating fast and my indigestion came back.
