I wanna say it was used in a song in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, but I think that's just what Grandpa Jo called one of the other kids.
Honestly, that's pretty awesome, I hope I'm as cool as you in future, but idk that the lessons would improve anything for me because I just mentally freeze when I'm in danger. I'm working on it, but there's a reason I'm part of the people of stupid.
Not really a thing in Australia, and I appreciate that. It sucks that people can't be paid a living wage to the point they need customers to pay more than the price of the items they've purchased to supplement that.
I couldn't pinpoint one. It's probably something from childhood or at the very least teenhood, when you're in the habit of rewatching things into oblivion in that age bracket. I had really mixed taste as a kid. So it could be any one of these, since I was obsessed with all of them:
Adventures in Babysitting (1987)
Coming To America (1988)
Ghost (1990)
Addams Family Values (1993) most likely candidate since I still re-watch it frequently
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Sister Act 2 (1993)
Pocahontas (1995)
The Craft (1996)
Mulan (1998)
Rush Hour (1998)
Honestly, I doubt they hold any remorse for their past because I doubt they think of that time at all, unless they're reliving some version of the "glory days" in their heads. Bullies are able to be bullies because they don't care about others, so as much as I'd like what you think to be true, it's highly unlikely, so the only thing anyone can really do as an adult is return the favour and stop letting them take up free real estate in your brain, and let better days fill that space up.
I think the trick is to not take the attacks personally, because they don't actually know you, and what does it say about them that they're so offended about a difference in opinion? Them name-calling is confirmation that you don't need to take those names seriously. Also, idk if it's just because I grew up with siblings, but I find it pretty hard to be offended by strangers' opinions of me, like what names would actually hurt your feelings?
No, no wounds to close or open. High school was a lifetime ago and I have so few memories of the people I didn't like from that time, so I'm not hung up on that part of my life at all. If I did hate someone enough to grace my brain with the maintenance of their memory, then their apology would be worthless anyway, but honestly, I don't think of the people who were unkind to me back then with any real bitterness - or at all lol. We were kids. If they're still dicks in their adultood, that's embarrassing for them, but it has no impact on my life or my memories of that time.
It's nice, isn't it? Plus, I love going down to dog beaches every now and then to pet some furry buddies.
I'm not opposed to learning, but I feel it's going to be one of those things I get to later rather than sooner.
I like to go half-body deep and dunk myself into the sea like a cookie in a hot drink every so often to fight the Aussie heat. I spend enough time reading at home, and I fear my books getting damaged at the beach so I never bring one.
