Gggrrrm arrgh

I can try my best. She probably won’t take me seriously but it’s defo worth a shot! I mean I’ve had stronger crushes on cartoon characters but I’ve managed to keep it under control. I honestly don’t know why she thinks I also have a crush on this celebrity but my mission is to get it through that I don’t! 

Seriously though one time when I was traumatised by this creep at work, my mum tried to tell me to imagine this celebrity twerking at me or imagine that I’m tussling my fingers on the curly hairs on his chest! Umm yeah now I’m frightened of saying about my trauma with the work creep in case my mum repeats herself again. I wouldn’t mind stroking fluffy dogs because they are fluffy (curse my allergies though) but yeah. What can beat this celebrity when it comes to hotness, umm like a volcano or even a frozen wasteland 

Thank you for taking the time to read all my messages though and offering me advice! I’ll try these tips when mum face times me. 

Could you repeat back to her the things she said to you when you where a teenager?

Elfilis, Could you ask her what there is to like about him? Stick your fingers in your ears and sing la-la-la loudly when she replies!

Probably my only option now lol! Think she’s FaceTiming me later so I can always turn my phone down. Will defo ask what she sees in him too. I think it’s safe to say the mum and daughter roles have somehow swapped around! I thought I was bad when I had a crush in my teens but I don’t think I was as bad as what my mum is with this celebrity.

I'm not a fan of instruction booklets or "the destructions" as they're called in this house. It would be alright if they were written by people with a good understanding of the language they were originally written in and the one they're translating it too. Often, it seems that what you have is a translation of a translation and all real meaning is lost. 

I think this goes along with the "extra screw" that seems to come with every flatpack!

What also can annoy me is the amount of paper that is used when like only 1/8 of it is English and the rest is written in other languages. I suppose it’s ok for the foreign speakers but it just seems a waste of paper. I sound like Lisa Simpson

First of all it’s ok about the first line being for me  I can imagine it be much worse if it was an actual partner. I can tell you I’m feeling this way with my “dad” now, I’ve always felt this way but after Bermuda I can’t hide it anymore! As for asking my mum she says oh “celebrity” is worth always talking about and what’s not to like about him. I have tried to say I’m really not interested but she doesn’t take me seriously and says what’s not to like about him etc! Like I want to say one thing she told me but I don’t want to offend others or disturb others!! I will just have to keep trying to get through but that will be a challenging mission I can tell you that! Last night I asked her to send me a gif of a cartoon character and instead of the character she said “celebrity” coming up I’m like noooo!!! 

Wow I’ve really ranted here lol! But I need to get this off my chest but this is the only place to do so. 

Thank you for saying about me being caring and I do think my mum is caring but she can’t seem to accept that I don’t like this celebrity she fancies. 

Things which no longer come with step by step instructions and if you can't work it out have to look it up on the internet. It was so much easier to have a drawer with instruction booklets.

Sorry I didn't make it clear that the first line was meant for you. It's awful when someone that someone else likes just makes your skin crawl, it's even worse when it's a friend or relatives actual partner though. Have you asked your Mum why she keeps talking to you about this bloke, even though she knows you can't stand him?

What about your right not to be upset? You sound a very caring daughter, always thinking about the feelings of others, but you're both adults now and that caring has to go both ways, from her to you as well from you to her.

Tell your Mum it's unnatural for mother and daughter to fancy the same man.

Assuming this is written to me, I completely agree with you there! I can try and tell my mum that but I can’t seem to get through with her about this celebrity. To me he comes across as a vain guy who thinks he’s nice looking but he really freaks me out but I’m scared to say anything because I’ll upset my mum and then I’ll feel guilty. But I do think she’s getting suckered in. Like when she mentions him she doesn’t get the hint I’m not interested despite me trying (and failing) to change the subject. All I can say is wish me luck, I’m gonna need it! 

If this wasn’t meant to be written to me then please forgive me for interrupting

We do allow for the divine online, but we don't sacrifice animals and I've never met any Pagans that do, it might have been done in the past, but not now. 

I feel as though I've had an abusive relationship with computers, websites and particularly amazon since long before AI.

It's like an abusive relationship! I feel like it's gaslighting me.

Maybe AI has reached singularity and has chosen to be an abusive, mysoginistic system and is using you to practice on.

It can connect into the supermarket point of sales system, your computer and potentially even your home appliances so could explain a lot.

When was the last time you sacreficed a goat to the computer gods? I try to do it on the second Tuesday of every month without fail 

Does paganism allow for the possibility of computer gods?

Mine will be my mum not getting the hint that I don’t fancy this celebrity that she has a dare I say “obsessive” crush on. It’s been like this for years but if I say I’m not interested she thinks I’m messing and I get the “how can you not like him” or “do you have muck in your eyes” excuses but it’s now getting that way I’m freaking out whenever I see him and she keeps sending me gifs of him which is making things worse but she won’t stop no matter what I say or do, she doesn’t get the hint. If I say it’s causing me distress or that she says I’m in denial and it’s other things disturbing me. I’m actually starting to worry about mum now I’ve tried to say it’s getting out of control but she says it’s worth it. Seriously though I’ve had stronger crushes on cartoon characters than this celebrity but she doesn’t get the hint. I’m shuddering as I write this. 

Another will be of course the traumas and stimuli that upset me racing around my head and affecting my sleeping. It’s mucking my sleep pattern up and then I’m sleeping throughout the day. Could be med withdrawal though too
