A recording engineer friend of mine sat next to his monitor speakers in his control room once with a pencil in his hand and just suddenly stabbed one of the speaker cones. His explanation was that the understanding that it would be the worst thing in the world was so strong that it just made him do it. I haven't got to that stage yet.

My girlfriend stamped on my foot really hard the other week claiming that she "was just overwhelmed by the need to find out how I would react. It just popped into my head and I did it. I thought I could brazen it out and you wouldn't believe it had happened." I wasn't amused. I now also suspect she might be doing drugs on the QT.
Hey ho.

They are my students, learning how to deal with environmental challenges.

Most of them are pretty cool.

!!!?

Drugs are the answer if you're lucky.

Other possibilities include-

1. Whatever you do, don't call her crazy.

2. You're actually a bad person and you deserved it.

3. She's punking you to determine who is alpha in this relationship. Next: pegging.

This just unlocked a memory from god knows where. I remember being a kid and dropping a glass about an inch from the floor. Then two inches. Then three and so on, just to see how far I could go before it would smash. Obviously in order for me to find out how high I could get, I would have to smash the glass.

Just as I found my answer my sister came into the living room and saw me stand there and intentionally smash a glass from about two feet onto the carpet.

Seriously, go say hi to them. Ride up on your motorcycles and tell them I'm your bitch or something. Tell them your name is A Pimp Named Vockins.

Wow!

Be happy that she wasn't overwhelmed by the need to find out how you would react to a kick in the balls...

Slap her as hard as you can across the mouth at some point today and tell her you did it because you thought it'd be funny, and that it was and she should get the fuck out of your house and never come back.

Well she told me the other night, while drunk, that she didn't think I should sing with my band as "vocals aren't my strong point", she was "bored of me when I'm not with her", and also that "maybe you should try and be happy with what you've got at work".
None of this is too worrying to me as I agree with quite a lot of it to a greater or lesser extent but it might give a bit of an insight into the sort of give and take at play within our relationship that may have lead her to stamp on my foot.
