ncc1701 Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Heya nestling, I have many, many stickers. Gold stars? Done. Plus cute little bear stickers. Also I think a couple of pink sparkly happy-faces (my most popular sticker altogether). Good girl. --ncc-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxis Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 And a sword, we can't forget a sword! A small one befitting a 5 foot tall warrior woman. And maybe a pair of kick-ass boots to complete the ensemble. Noone will even think about pushing you around now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~nestling~ Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 yeah! on the way to therapy I walk past a secondary school. the senior kids hang out on the pavement smoking and such, I had to ask them to move so I could get past, this girl goes "why are you being so rude?" in a sarky voice. well, I said, because you're all taking up the whole path. I felt both bad and good about saying that. I still have to get the hang of this assertiveness thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxis Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I felt both bad and good about saying that. I still have to get the hang of this assertiveness thing.... That's just how I feel when I'm assertive. I feel elated and proud and strong, but at the same time I get a wave of self doubt: was I rude? out of line? what if they don't LIKE me? Let's both try and focus on the positive feelings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~nestling~ Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 I feel awkward, I think that's it. Yes. Let's focus on the positive. Some 16 year olds might feel like they own the world, but I was never one of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddog Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 it takes practice. you'll get better at this assertiveness stuff, as long as you keep trying. if you keep getting negative responses, then alter your approach a bit. oh, you're invited to the Angry Women With Spud Guns meeting. we're all running around on the Olga-Pinky-ML Springer threads.

~nestling~ Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 cool (p.s. what's a spud gun?) *imagines squashed jacket spud....* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxis Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Ooh ooh I know this one! *raises hand and waves frantically* A spud gun is made from pvc piping and uses forced air to shoot potatoes and other amsing projectiles. I've never actually used one, but they look like good aggressive fun. I'll see you at the next AWWSG meeting, Reddog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
