For the teenagers!

Hi Palmer! I’m Sasha and I’m 20. Welcome to Teensville!! What do you make sculptures out of??

Hi Rose, sorry your memories have been bothering you again. We feel unsafe if the mom or dad even email us, so we can understand that having the mom sleep over was really hard.

Our new job went pretty well. I don’t really do the job stuff, but the one who does felt good about it. Last time we did this work was in June, but we left that job after being there for many years, and we weren’t sure when/if we would do it again.

Hi Phoenix—glad you can be here.

Hi Cody!! Yay for not being sick anymore!! I hope you get to do something fun this weekend!!

Sasha <3 <3 <3

Hi Palmer,
It’s nice to meet you. I’m 12, but live in the teens camp. Sculpting sounds fun. What do you like to make?

Hi Sasha,
Glad the job went well. How often will you be working?

Hi Phoenix,
It sounds interesting you have all sorts of different types of people. Do you get on with everyone for the most part?

Hi Cody and Iain,
Thanks for understanding about the mother here. It is still pretty shaky, but our T is helping us. It is hard to talk about stuff with him, but we are getting better with it, I think.

Hope everyone else is going ok.

Rose

Hi Rose and Sasha!

I like to make them out of clay and I usually make animals. I don’t have a lot because the others have hobbies and everything costs money too. But I have an owl and a fish that I’m really proud of.
Also Sasha, good luck to all of you with the new job!

Hi

Well I mostly grew up with 'little Susie' and Bobby and we've been in our own area for many years. Adult changelings took care of us the years that the host was not able to understand they were multiple'.

Kit has been at times very difficult to work with in the past but some of it was because of medication and the autism. Now she understands better it is easier to reason with her. Both her and the Vulcans like things to be very logical, calm and controlled, but they did between them manage to work out that we had this and find others for the host to relate to. And she did manage to get the body back to being 'more able' than it was when Maddie got stuck in a rut...In fact twice Kit has managed to get the body back to place where the host understood and got back to independence, despite the fact the hosts at the time didn't even have awareness of us. But she is not 'a people person' and the host has sadly lost some friends along the way!

Host is doing better socially with M blended with her when she has to go out. I think the constant isolation has taken its toll though.

Hi Phoenix,

But she is not 'a people person' and the host has sadly lost some friends along the way!

I know that feeling of not having friends. We don’t have any 3D friends anymore - we just didn’t fit in and it took too much effort to try and appear ‘normal’. We have the originals partner and they are our BFF. But other than them and the occasional family things we can’t get out of, we don’t socialise.

Hi Palmer,
Hobbies can get expensive when there are different members wanting different things. Working with clay would be fun!

Hi Sasha,
Hope the job continues to go well.

Hi Cody and Iain,
You guys have been quiet. Everything ok over there?

Rose

Re hobbies: our host provides things like video games consoles that we share and then the games can be different types of games like a puzzle game, exercise or adventure game etc. They try to choose games where you can add different players and/or have different save files for the same game If more than one alter wants to play on a game...or one will go ahead and 'unlock' the whole game so others can access everything on it.. like wii fit.

They also get us art materials to share (paints, pencils, pens etc) but then like Susie has her own colouring book, Kit has her notebook to sketch garden birds, Bobby has a sketchbook that they used to do lots of dolphins in black and white only. Host likes watercolours and is trying to teach herself to do a good drawings to paint of her dogs and other animals and landscapes. Luckily we're all similar in that respect with enjoying nature and the company of dogs.

Anyway busy day today our new bedroom TV is coming so we have to move the old one and dust the top of the drawers (it stands on) and tidy up, if we want to be able to watch it tonight!

Phoenix (12) and Jody (19)

Hey everybody (*waves*),

Hi ya Phoenix and Jody,

Dunno if I’ve introduced myself. I’m Rachel and I’m 16. How cool you were getting a telly in your bedroom! We’ve got one in our room, but it isn’t connected or anything. I keep asking them what’s the point in having one in there if it can’t even work?? But they haven’t fixed it yet.

I like how you all have your own hobbies and stuff. We kinda do, but just things like games on the iPad. The younger ones used to do some drawing and colouring but I think that stopped when our original saw all of the pictures and got all freaked out.


How is everyone else? Seems a bit quiet here. Is everyone ok?

Ok, see ya!

Hi Rachel

I think we get away with it because our original has autism so they didn't consider things we did 'not normal' (thought it was part of being autistic originally before they understood about DID) and RL people in the host's life make allowances for her 'more unusual behaviour' being down to the autism!!

I suspect we get away with quite a bit more than alters who have an host who is generally considered 'normal' by the outside world! ..and expected to behave a certain way for their age more?

Phoenix

p.s the TV is cool, we've been playing Animal Crossing and watching Disney movies on it!!

Hi everyone,

Hi Palmer,
It’s nice to meet you. I never done any sculpting, does that mean you use a pottery wheel? I’m not sure if that is called sculpting as well.

Hi Phoenix,
I’m glad you have a new tv in the room. What’s Animal Crossing?

It’s really quiet here again. I hope everyone is doing ok.

Hey, Nicole. Hi Rachel. Hi Rose. Hi Phoenix and Palmer.

I'm Devin and I'm 14. Sasha usually writes here, but she doesn't feel like it right now. We were going through old letters today because we still have boxes of old stuff to organize, and there was a letter from my boyfriend, from when he was 14, too. He was apologizing for something we did together (kind of a vandalism thing ), as if he had wanted to do it or as if it had been his idea, but it wasn't. It was completely our idea and he didn't want to do it at all. I don't even think he helped. He just watched and told me not to do it.

Anyway, not much is new with us. We're having a pretty good weekend without a lot of stress.

Devin
