Tis all good now. I have my "revenge" every fathers day...knowing he probably doesn't get a call on fathers day. From any of the 4 of us.

i used to have a tantrum and then not talk to the person but now i just cut people out of my life. if you're getting me that upset, then you don't need to be in my life in the first place.

the last tantrum i had was last year, when i was still working at the animal hospital but it was less of a tantrum and more of a defense. i was being severely verbally attacked by a superior. after he was done and i was in tears he said some bullshit about really appreciating the work i do even though he was really upset with me and i screamed "NO YOU DON'T YOU TREAT ME LIKE SHIT!!!!!" and then ran out of the place and cried all the way home on the subway like the baby that i am.


anyways, i find in those situations it's always best to go over the person's head and get things resolved in as civilized a manner as possible.

although on the downside, i never stopped hating him to this day and treated him pretty badly up until i left. it was a mutual thing, though.

i took this other tantrum in response to a tantrum that my father was taking. he was pissed that i didn't go out and buy him soy milk even though i had been working late and studying for midterms and simply didn't have the time to buy soy milk for my lactose intolerate dad.


so he slammed his fist onto the cutting board and told me to "SHUT UP!"

and i said "GO BUY SOY MILK YOUR DAMN SELF! YOU HAVE A CREDIT CARD, YOU HAVE CAR KEYS, GO BUY IT YOUR DAMN SELF!!" and then i told him that he could go eat his dinner by himself and stormed off to my room.


later that day he came in and apologized for losing his temper. meanwhile, he still hadn't bought any soy milk. i reiterated that he should buy it his damn self. he apologized again


the next morning, i get out of bed and he's asking me about when i'm going to buy soy milk. i gave him the look of death.


i think in the end my step mom had to go and buy the damn soy milk and she doesn't even drink it.

she told me that the reason why he got so upset is because she spoils him. whatever. he's always been that way. she just doesn't know that.

If I'm slamming a door, it's generally a "get the hell away from me" thing, and I'm a let's-talk-it-out type, so if I'm done talking, it's generally because somebody is really being an ass.

If I'm going to really throw a tantrum, boy. . .it's rare, and I'll probably be alone.

i only throw tantrums when I.....damn i don't throw tantrums i just walk away, or drive away...
