End of year song
Buttercup Scout: Would you like to buy some cookies?
Man in Suit: Have you heard the good news?
Scooby-Doo: Yeah. There's cookies.

I'm a curmudgeon at times. I get invited to things and instead of being grateful and excited, I think "Oh do I have to?"
Like Grandpa in 'Lost Boys':

I think that when some of the fundamentals in our marriage were broken, we fixed things back together, until the vase is actually stronger than it was when we started.
But it's never going to have the lustre and bell-like tone of the original. It's lined with wire mesh and filled with glue. It's solid and something we built together. But criss-crossed with the scars.

"It's a fucking [n-word] in an audi - must be a fucking robber."
I gave them a dagger of a look, but don't know if they noticed, the two racist little shitheads as they walked past laughing at their own [I presume they thought it] wit.
I don't really know how these people exist. They do not compute.
It depresses me when they were younger than me as well :(.

These are the lessons that men taught me, personally or through my friends, when I was a young woman.

Sometimes a person is genuinely sympathetic and you can feel that. Feel warmed by it and feel supported.
Sometimes it just doesn't ring true and you get the feeling the person is longing for you to perform your emotions for them. It's not something you can pull them on, cos they're being so nicey-nice - but it's not real, it's all fake and you can sense them kind of enjoying themselves at your expense. And better yet when they can slip in an oh-so innocent barb of any kind.
But here in my safe space, let me perform an emotion for you (the person I am thinking of) - fuck you, you schadenfreude idiot! Fuck your creepy faux-maternal manner and your snide 'sympathy'.
Ahh.
