Socializing issues

It's an interesting proposition as someone who does struggle with regular socializing because I find it doesn't take much to take me into sensory overload where because I can't cope with the level of emotional input, in effect I shut down.
I do find the level of drama such as you have in offices resembling in some ways school groups and also online communities troublesome and if I don't detach I soon lash out at people where my developmental disabilities soon reveal themselves.

Childhood fiction

One author whose books I grew up with was Enid Blyton who apart from writing who character based series also wrote a number of short stories and one off pieces that have been collected over the years.

This collection assembled by Dean's and Son's in 1965 and in an early 1970's reprint is typical of it being a mixture of short stories, poems such as The Wind and  a few extracts from The Children at Happy House written in 1951.
This is my original copy which I treasure.

My time

This was the era I arrived into the world in  and one that certainly including cats as we had several including Siamese cats that I loved to pet, one the few things that actually helped calm me down although furniture was old fashioned even for the time.
We lived pretty much for stories be they in comics, books or being read on radio or new fangled television that has pride of place in front room.

Team games III

Here go in the last of the current Team Sports series looking at the the time sports I loved  from Junior and High school.
Field Hockey

We're on the case of the ball!

Fielding, what you need to be good at

Overall view as the match is well underway. 

It's no wonder I've always followed the NHL don'tcha think?

Too old for a spanking?

During my mid teens I as asked about "what do you want to us to do if you get into trouble" by Mom who as you noticed side stepped completely the word 'discipline' and actually I said I was quite happy with a spanking not least as grounding when I was even home wasn't a sanction where I couldn't go out by myself  anyway so I was kinda grounded anyway and I preferred to be given a consequence and have the rule I'd broken enforced on me to help me learn it.
It wasn't long before with all that stuff about grown up interests that people started to think I was past childhood to the point that although I longed for adults protecting and correcting me, I became accustomed to the idea that wasn't going to happen.
This may of been okay for a good number of people but the post childhood ways of dealing with me involving lots of talking and reasoning didn't cut it as those were thing I struggled with so I felt more and more 'lost' while having a strong sense of entitlement  because I didn't know where the boundaries were.
The thing that came from the events of the last year and half, is that that attempt to mask over with an adult wrapper  what is in reality a child still and for medical reasons will always be so proved just how wrong that approach was. It ignored who I was for what Others wanted me to be.
A Child.
I AM A CHILD WHO'S AGE IS JUST OLDER BY THE CALENDAR, THAT'S ALL.
Am I too old for a spanking?
I AM NOT TOO OLD TO HAVE MY BOTTOM SPANKED BECAUSE MY NEEDS ARE THOSE OF A CHILD AND I NEED CHILD-LIKE DISCIPLINING THAT INCLUDES BUT NOT NECESSARY RESTRICTED TO IT.
I want you to it clear to me that any manipulation, pouting, and defiant behavior will no longer make an impact at home
I want you instead of over-talking, debating, or explaining, simply give me a consequence and enforce the rule.
Like if I cannot turn off the computer when it is time for bed, there will not be any computer time for me tomorrow night. And until I can show me that I respect the rules, you'll see to it  I will be unable to use the computer.
I don't  want you to entertain any debating, begging, or caving in to tantrums and whining with me
I want you help me realize that I am responsible for my decisions and behaviours. 
I want you to not over-indulge me so I learn to appreciate everything I have, the value of hard work, saving up, that material things are not what truly satisfies me.

 If I'm in need of a spanking, I want you to give me it.

Getting set for Spring 2008 style!

Although this blog is entitled "Joanne's Dorm", the dorm is  the main place I am sent to when I'm really naughty and that's just a part of my life this blog is about cos it's all about how I feel, what kind of a girl I am really.
And seeing it is my birthday, I think I can start by saying I like traditional flower prints on things like skirts and dresses which what my girl friends tended to wear more especially in the Spring and Summer months cos it's good to let your skin breath a bit and  get some sunlight after Winter.
I like socks more than tights though from my teens I got used to wearing them but they work well with skirts like this and aren't much for really going sleeveless which may be to do with my issues with body image.

The day before the edition

For me with just one day to go this is so apt a playful Tomboy can become that refined pretty young lady even if chunks  of how I'm wired mean I can't do everything you expect and I still require your love  and support.
