Have you ever made something you thought was great, but no one else liked?

Not that I remember.

I don't think so. I don't tend to have an overly low opinion of myself and things I make, but I also don't tend to have an overly high one. The few things that I really think are great, other people tend to agree on.

I'm sure I have.

Yeah, a pasta dish. I really liked it but no-one else finished theirs...........

When I was about 4 I made my father a jumper out of cut up pieces of old jumpers stuck together with glue. I didn't understand why he never wore it.

A couple of years later I made my mother a birthday present. It was a gold paper crown that had a huge gold jewel at the front (a painted blown egg).

I've cooked a few things that have suited my tastebuds well, but other people have turned their noses up at. I like yeasty bread and that doesn't go down well with most other people.

Not that I can think of.

Don't remember.

Most people don't seem to enjoy hearing me sing as much as I do!

Probably, but I don't remember

Do you still do the naked hat dance?

It had been a while, but just for you I've been doing the Naked Hat Dance to Bix Beiderbecke's "Fidgety Feet" wearing a green baseball cap!

(I was already naked, it's cookin' hot here right now!)

I can't remember but it had to have happened several times.

It's pretty sweltering here too.

Perhaps you should do a Naked Hat Rain Dance? Or maybe that should be the Naked Umbrella Dance...Just be careful when you close the umbrella!

All the time. People just fail to see that I'm a genius. Guess that's a part of it.

Yes, the first time I fixed lasagna

Aww No one liked my lasagna, but I have gotten better on that dish.

> Most people don't seem to enjoy hearing me sing as much as I do!

Would you sing for me?

It's supposed to start raining tomorrow. It's already clouded over. Otherwise it's been really clear and hot for the past couple of weeks.

LA!

ahem

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME...

Thanks Zang! Good job

I cook alot more than I used to, I'm sure if I made it again it would be miuch nicer and people would eat it all up!

When I was in elementary school we had a coloring contest and I was sure my page was the best but the most popular girl got chosen.

That would really piss me off.

I bet you're a great cook

Cool avatar

Later on in life when I was with the "in crowd" in a bar she tried to recall that we went to school together & "OH MY GOD! etc..." And I said "I'm sorry what's your name?" Although it wasn't her fault, she only won cause she was rich and popular and I was poor white trash. I just walked off.

it sounds pitiful now but for a 6 years old and the poorest kid in class, you feel like you can't get any recognition when the pretty girl with different colored ribbons in her hair every day in commended. I really could give a crap less now.

Much of my music. People prefer my much simpler stuff.

Thanks, bill made it. Well, the pic was mine, bill made it move like that.

I was figuring as much.

I was the poor kid in class throughout elementary and junior high. The students were mean, even worse, the teachers were mean too. They seemed to get off on punishingn the poor kids, especially me. They would make sh*t up. I was targeted because I was poor, quiet, frightened and a little odd. I had an extremely physical and mental traumatic event because of this. Any other kid things would have been very different. The kids that didn't fit in, the poor ones, we formed a friendship of sorts. We stuck together because there was safety in numbers. If one of us had to stay in for recess another would get in trouble on purpose so they wouldn't be alone. One friend didn't have a lunch to eat sometimes so we would each give up something for her. A couple of times I put the food in a brown bag & hand it to her early in the day so she could walk to the cafeteria with a lunch. Also, we didn't always have gloves in the winter (Michigan winter) and when we were out on recess we would make a circle and some one got to stand in the middle and trade off. We would share the gloves too like that. The girl that didn't even have money for lunch suddenly was able to afford some nice clothes and lip gloss. It didn't take her long to betray us and act like she was better.

I didn't think people were actually as crummy as that. They didn't have a free lunch program for poor kids (which was an embarrasment in itself)? I thought I had it bad living on lots of oatmeal.

I mentioned it to my mom and she told me about the free lunches. We had to talk the girl into saying something to a teacher. She did end up with free lunches. She was was happy in the end. I think she was pretty hungry. She was also sort of spacy. I think issues at home, but also poor nutrition messed her up.

I couldn't stand preppy girls like that in school. Me and my friends always gave the little snobs hell

Sweet. I am going to retire Tink for awhile.

Have fun with new avatars!

When I found out what "free lunch" meant, I quit eating lunch and there wasn't much at home either. I defended myself by being the bully and was befriended by many popular people this way and got alot of perks by getting invited to stay at their house and actually have food and toiletries. Maybe a poor survival tactic but the only one I could come up with at the time. I got in trouble alot, ran away from home, got arrested and at 16 my mom left town and left me with my boyfriend.

I had one friend who was cool in first grade and then she went to another school. In middle school she ended up at the same school as myself and she didn't have time for me. I guess she realized the status difference.

Well, then I was probably the kid you bullied. I tended to latch onto stronger people who would stick up for me. That's sad that your mom did that to you.

I probably would've defended you. I was also apt to take up for kids that were in my same income brackett. I remember my dad sent me the annual $25 x-mas check and I used the money to buy "friends" at school gifts. The popular girls that I had befriended were a bit embaressed, or so it seemed because they had exhchanged gifts but bought nothing for me even though I was in that circle as a body guard type more or less, but I also bought a gift for a tiny girl that I knew wasn't gonna have anything for me. I just liked her. She was a poor black girl and I bought her some chocolates and she was so happy and didn't feel bad about not getting me anything. I still remember her name, Tonya. I didn't expect anything from her, I knew she didn't have $$. She just made me laugh. I felt good about that.

Yes.

That was so sweet of you, it's lovely and sad at the same time.

No, not sad. I feel so good about giving Tonya her gift it made up for the stupid look on the other girls faces when I handed them gifts and walked away empty handed. I gave hers last.

Again they're all liars, it was superfabulously amazing.

i dont remember
