Too much of a princess
I have two more exams tomorrow, then a break then the last two - thinking it like this makes me feel slightly better. At least I have it better than Alan, who has six days of exams in a row. He has more stamina than I do. My father is always telling me that I have get tougher, but really, it's partly his fault that I'm this soft. My dad is the king of stoic, but I know he worries about me. I think he was relieved I didn't start driving; he's constantly telling me I'm too nervous to drive, I startle easily, etc., but I think the main reason is he doesn't want me out driving at night by myself. He and my mother are the royalty of scare tactics. They're always telling my bro and me about how some guy got killed walking under a ladder or how some girl got stabbed because she was out late at night alone on the streets of Bangkok. Hear enough of those stories, and they take effect. The other night, he was scolding me for using the cell phone too much, "It's not safe, all those microwaves" and I don't know if it was psychosomatic, or he was right or a combination of the two, but I got a bit of an ear infection. Okay, maybe not a full-on infection, but I know for a fact my ear hurt like heck, and that night, I got a headache on the right side of my head, where my cell phone was. Yup, that's how much I'm influenced by my parents. Also, he's always telling me I gotta stand on my own two feet, I should get out more, but he's worried I'll get myself killed in the process. So, you see, he's always complaining that I'm too much of a princess, but hello, who's the king? I know he loves me and all, but I'm hooked - I like being pampered and as a result, I'm a bit too soft for my own good. It's horrible actually, because I myself would like to be tougher, not so skittish, but it's pretty much ingrained in me now. I think that's why I find things so terribly frustrating.
Final thought: Does startling easily have anything to do with being ticklish?

That startling thing is a good question...I never thought about it!! I'm extremely ticklish, *and* I startle easily!! Are you the same way?? I like your new pic, too...Did you design it yourself?? If not, where did you find it? I've been trying to find a cartoon that resembles me.

Listen to your dad. He's always right. Just ask my two daughters.

I hate being tickled - & yes, I'm ticklish - & I don't like driving at night, especially if it's raining, that can still make me nervous.
My favourite search engine is Google too, I love their image search capability, & I like sunflowers, & my favourite thing to eat (Sanitarium crunchy) peanut butter with is: tomato slices & lettuce, on buttered grain bread - sandwiches! Try it, you might start a new trend in Bangkok! :-)

I startle so easily, like a rabbit and I am very ticklish. I couldn't learn how to ballroom dance because when my partner held my waist, I collapsed into a laughing fit! Thanks for your comment about my pic, yes I designed it myself, with a simple online portrait maker, you should try it, it's very nice and easy to use. Here's the link: http://illustmaker.abi-station.com/index_en.shtml It has quite a lot of choices, so you can definitely make a pic to resemble yourself. :)

:) I do listen to my dad, most of the time, but sometimes I can be downright stubborn. Here's hoping your daughters aren't the same way :)

I will definitely try your culinary creation; I am always looking for new combos with peanut butter :) I'm glad there are people out there who have the same likes as me, sometimes I feel if they separated people into groups according to favorite search engine or favorite flower or something, I'd be all by my lonesome :) I like the birds on your blog, btw.
