    Its hard to think of me as my child. Ill care more about my child and in a different way than I ever could about myself.

    I'd be an interesting parent to say the least....

    inside i have always been quite troubled, though i'd say at present time its mellowed quite a bit, but still rears its ugly head from time to time....

    i led a "happy" enough childhood in that nothing too bad ever happened to me. i've never even broken a bone as far as i know.

    (now accidental poisoning, thats another story...i was a curious toddler)

    but despite a fairly uneventful childhood in terms of tragedy, i was always rather gloomy and unhappy for a fairly large portion of the time. and my adolescence was hellacious in emotional terms....and psychologically....

    i very truly believe that for a very large portion of it i was not "sane"

    like i said, i'm quite a bit more stable, though still slightly troubled...my issues seem far less significant these days. i drink more than i really ought to....thats about it, apart from relationship bullshit.

    but raising me as a kid? no way! too much bullshit, WILD mood swings, horrible inner torment...

    i couldnt have a kid just like me.

    to be quite honest, i'm quite like my father. and his father. sure there are generational differences....but we're all very similar. and my brother and sister and uncle....

    its enough to make me want a vasectomy, to ensure that either i adopt if i raise a child or that i cannot have my own child until i've thought long and hard about it and wish to have the procedure reversed (if it can be done, which is more and more common these days...but not something i'd count on anyways, really. if i ever raise a child, i hope to adopt a child in need of a family)

    Mmm... probably not.

    My mother says that I'm destined to get a child just like me, though.

    My mom would tell you I was the sweetest little boy, but she sufferers from the common motherly delusion where one conveniently forgets how your child invited an army of frogs newly hatched from the lake in the backyard into your living room.

    I wasn't so bad. I guess the getting pregnant as a teen thing wasn't too good, but it all turned out in the end. Now my daughter was a holy terror in her teens. Even she admits it now. You'd think she would get her payback when she had kids, BUT NOOOO....she gets the best kid ever. Not fair.


    j/k At least I get the best grandkid ever
