  Normal - 6

  Ink - 1

  Paint - 4

  Drawing - 13

  Soften - 1

  Well, the audience has voted -- Drawing it is. For the record, my two favorites are paint and soften.

  Thanks everyone.

  i really like the queen as my avatar, and i think it's cute when someone calls me queenie.

  and she has so many photos available to express any mood.

  but i have a new nickname now, twit #3, and i'd really like to create an avatar in that spirit, but don't have any ideas.

  There is absolutely no way that a twit is a proper representative for a wonderful and classy lady like you. I'm going to have to stomp my feet and scream like a baby until you change your mind......

  oh, close enough. Continue to kiss. Kneel too.

  But I want royalty. It matches me. You see. I am royalty, at least I can be. It's inside of me, to be a royal D. Or maybe, just a D, royally.

  Look at my avatar. That pretty much says it all! Someday I'll be bold enough to post a real picture of me - or not.

  You're not the Queen? You mean I've been kissing up to you for no reason?

  i thought i had been going really well in my life until my mothers recent attempt at shunning me.

  now im feeling like i don't want to connect with anyone.

  i'm kind of disconnecting myself from my friends even, withdrawing.

  Maybe I need therapy?

  I need it. There's nothing wrong with getting help to overcome the disgusting thing the cult has done to us.

  2. beliefs

  if asked, jehovah?s witnesses will insist that they are not part of a cult.

  this is a lie.. the information i use below is based on the book combatting cult mind control by steven hassan.

  jws are not mentioned in this book.

  Embracing Yourself. Do You?

  2. friends

  have you ever met people who were so smart they were stupid?

  i mean, really smart folk, but just.....not quite all there......i'm guilty of being an airhead.

  it's not something i'm particularly proud of, but i've learned to own and embrace many of my shortcomings.

  Can you find reason to love yourself inspite of your flaws, failings, disapoinments and disillusionments? Is it, sometimes, wonderful to be human, or what?

  I'm working on it. I'd say I'm making progress, but I have a ways to go too. I'm not generally scared of physical things, but I'm DEADLY afraid of abandonment. When I sense it happening, even if I'm reading the situation wrong, I go into protective mode.

  I'm also still able to completely shut down my emotions for someone, like we learned how to do in the organization. I really hate that. That's the first thing I want to address and rectify in therapy. I want to be able to mourn a perceived loss and to fight for someone if I think I'm going to lose them. Right now, I just shut down, very compartamentally, and become cold. It isn't how I feel deep inside though. It doesn't go all the way to my heart.
