Forum Overview :: Tansin A. Darcos's Alter Ego :: Re: "I'm a little teapot"

[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"][quote name="you forgot something"]You forgot to type the lyrics. You know what would make up for this error? A singing video.[/quote] I didn't think I had to, my appearance makes it obvious. I'm short; every time I roll into a Home Depot, the measuring tape at the entrance shows I'm 4'6". I sometimes wonder why my drivers' license still says I'm 6' 2". As anyone who has seen my videos can declare. I am stout. Even my sister has referred to me as a "fat fuck." But what I meant was I do not store up anger the way other people - especially men - store up their anger like a pressure cooker, until they get really mad, and often respond with savage responses. When I get unhappy, or mad, or disturbed, I blow off steam immediately, often getting very mad. But I get mad all at once, and I let it out all at once. The late Eric Berne, in his book <i>Games People Play</i> wrote about "Emotional Trading Stamps." Some people save up the slights, and angers and upsets, the way people collect trading stamps like S&H Green Stamps or Blue Chip Stamps (these died out in the late 1980s as inflation made it too expensive to offer them to customers). Once you collected enough emotional trading stamps, it allowed you to get a "free" affair, a "free" assault, or a "free" murder. [/quote]
