I was given an Easter card this morning from my grandmother. It was a pretty little card, with bunny rabbits and eggs on the front. After about a minute or so I said “I don’t get Easter cards”, and the moment I said it the voice inside my head started to scream “WTF are you doing, she just gave you a card and you bagging it? Think quick you wanker”.
Nikita: “I mean, why have a card for it?”
Nikita’s inner voice: “That wasn’t very, good try again”
Nikita: “It’s just they have cards for everything these days!”
Nikita’s inner voice: “Do they have one that an inner voice would give to someone that won’t be quiet?”
My mother gives me a look, a look which my inner voice would probably also give me if it could, a “shut the hell up” look.
Nikita: “I saw a card a while back, it said ‘sorry to hear you got fired’, that was silly”
Nikita’s inner voice: “Would you like me to help you dig that hole you’re in?”
Nikita: “Yeah…”
Nikita’s inner voice: “I do hope that means you’re done”
I do this all the time. I’m known for saying daft things right after someone gives me something, it’s a sickness. At Christmas my Aunt and Uncle came over, they gave me a book and a nice pair of handmade earrings. They were simple earrings, so I started telling her how you easy it is to make them.
Nikita: “They’re really easy to make, just get the wire and some beads and crimps here and here”
Nikita’s inner voice: “Oh no, here you go again”
Nikita’s aunt: “Oh…”
Nikita: “Yeah, really simple”
Nikita’s inner voice: “I really do wish I had a stun gun in here to shut you up at times like this”
Nikita’s aunt: “Well, they’re still a nice pair of earrings”
Nikita’s inner voice: “She thinks you hate them, say you love them, that you’d sell your soul for them”
Nikita: “Oh yes, they are”
Nikita’s inner voice: “I think it’s best to just shut up now and change the subject”
Nikita: *mumbles* “Me too”

My Dad would bust his ass finding nice things for my Mom for Christmas, Birthday,etc. Mom would respond with something like…”That’s not the one I wanted.” …Sound familiar?

For Kris Kingle at work last Christmas I received one of those dodgy $2 clip-on book lights despite there being a $15 minimum. We all had top go up to the tree one at a time to open the gifts and then say something about the gift, so when it was my turn I opened it up and just looked at it thinking “holy crap what a piece of shit” with a facial expression to reflect this though. I think the words that came out of my mouth were along the lines of “yeh this is great, I don’t read books” (what I meant was I don’t read because I never have time anymore). I hate to think what the purchaser was thinking, I must’ve come across like a complete and utter wanker.
The Kris Kringle gift I bought was a full size axe (like a fire axe) which was picked out by an old lady in accounts because I wrapped it in a huge box with pink paper.

hehe the earrings part is funny. Im glad i dont show any irritating facial expressions when i recieved crappy things that i dont like as presents. I think it’s due to i get many these presents every year, practice makes perfect. hehe

That post made me smile, thanks for that.
Is it not always best to say what is on your mind ? Better that than letting things build up inside, obviously though a response of thanks needs some careful thought.
Bob: I think it is the other way around, her inner voice is the voice of reason (and sense).

yeah, everyone has funny posts now adays. it’s nothing special. i mean, i love that post. kitta, it’s no biggie dealing with grappling with what you say vs. what you think. my old boss called it – in computer terms – his “bubble sort”. but my opinion is, it’s a very learned ability to say the right things. fortunately, web pages are a great place to say what you feel. 😉

La Femme,
May I suggest adding this book to your wish list!:) Saying Thankyou
It is a lovely book to help you and your inner voice out in those tight sweemish situations.
Btw I don’t get the bunny thing either. I celebrate easter for an entirely different reason…a day where a gift above all was given to us and that is the only gift I ever need, I don’t even deserve it but I still get it. I also enjoy a nice cadburry egg once in a while though!;)
Signed,

Hmm, me thinks you need to remember to proof read a bit Kitta. Though the fact that you are ridiculously cute in those bunny ears makes up for typos I guess…but just barely!

Malach, I did proof read it, as I do with all my entries. Upon reading it juts now I did notice that I was missing the word “won’t”, but that’s all. I think you forget that everyone makes typos now and again and it doesn’t mean they don’t take the time to proof read.
Shaan, I’m about half way through. I keep pushing it back when I get new books.
