For the teenagers!

I think we have a Yu-Gi-Oh manga somewhere, the second book. I'm not sure it's a good idea to make an outfit like that by knitting it though... But, it's her choice, and I can't really tell her what to do or not to do.
Thank you for wishing me luck, I think I'm going to need it. ^^

I know, but she won't listen to me. She really should cus I'm "the almighty voice of reason" *laughs*
But, what do I know? I don't knit. :p

Oh, no prob. ^^

We had an eventful and yet kind of sad day yesterday. No school, but it was just weird. We switched a lot during the day and even more in the evening because we saw a musical from Broadway.

The musical was Wicked. It was wonderful to watch it. I came out and then Alyssa came out. The littles all wanted to watch it too. We let Host be co-con for most of it, but when it got to a sad part Alyssa took full control because she doesn't like to see the Host/body cry. She thinks it looks weak if the body cries, even if it is suppose to cry at certain moments like at the sad part in the musical.

Crying is a weakness that Host needs to learn not to do. It makes the body all red and puffy. The nose gets all stuffy and gross. She can't breathe or talk. It feels like she can't do anything. She cries too much too. I hate it. She needs to grow up and be confident in herself. She needs to not cry. I hate crying. That's why I come out when she feels like crying, so we don't cry.

i agree that crying does look weak, but not crying keeps emotions bottled up that need to be released. I also scold the host when she cries but if she needs to cry, I let her.

Host cries at everything though! When she's angry, upset, or embarrassed she cries. It makes me so mad that she can't keep her crying in check. If she really needs to cry, so be it, but not over little things like this. Why would you cry over some song? It's not like it is your life that they are singing about and are ashamed that it is being broadcasted to the whole world.

The host of our system is a musician and that's what music is supposed to do. It's supposed to play with your emotions like that. If you hear a song and you don't feel a connection to it, in the music world, you're not performing it right. The host of this system is overly sensitive too but she doesn't cry. She just starts to worry obsessively over it which is annoying.

I'm sorry if the way I act annoys you. I care what others think of me. It affects me a lot.

Alyssa just has some issues with crying because of our past. Instead of having it sadden her, it makes her angry. Right now she is seething inside because I came out and stopped another one of us from staying out too long.

Yes, what Ally said was true. I still don't understand why music should make you feel something. Then again, I'm not really supposed to have feelings. I do hold a lot of anger, so that could be the only thing I feel, really.

It's the same with Sirpa. She also cries over the littlest of things.
That's why she got me, the analytical brainiac to make sure that we keep at least, at the very least, some dignity.
Which isn't as easy as it sounds, with puffy eyes and a runny nose.
Sometimes I wonder what Sirpa would do without us.

We are trying to strengthen her ability to withhold from crying as much as she does. She is learning, but it is hard for her. She hasn't been able to cry much this past few years because of Alyssa always switching out with her when she feels like crying. *She needs to learn to stay away from people who make her cry* She has had a hard past, but now we need to move forward and start fresh and get out of the past, even though she doesn't remember it.

Yes, that's probably what we need to do as well. *nods*
I wish you best of luck on that one.
