SHUT THE FUCK UP! JUST DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK, STOP FUCKING CRYING, AND GO TO FUCKING SLEEP! IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT DAD'S YELLING AT YOU BECAUSE IT'S 11:00 AND YOU'RE STILL NOT FUCKING DONE. SUCK IT UP, DO YOUR WORK, AND MOVE THE FUCK ON.

I swear to God, for an 11 year old, she's pretty fucking clueless. I know I wasn't that clueless when I was 11 (or so my parents tell me). She needs to stay the hell off the internet, and stay awake (without crying or bitching that she's TIRED--boo fucking hoo!) to do all the work she needs to do. How the FUCK is she going to survive higher education if she can't deal with this now?

I am so fucking tired of this bullshit. The time I hear her through this goddamn wall, I will march over there and slap her in the head. Child abuse laws be damned--how's she supposed to learn a lesson if she doesn't feel the pain? It worked for countless generations before her and no amount of hand holding and everyone is a motherfucking snowflake hippie psychobabble make love not war bullshit is going to help the situation...

Oh, the internet. Don't you love that we grew up with next to no internet, so it was a privilege to have, but now kids have it because we got it, and they squander away their time?

Besides, at 11? WTF? I had computing goodness at 13, and sure, I stayed up all night, but I got my work done... granted, I had a two hour bus ride, and heaps of free time in school.

haha, yeah, I'm lucky that I didn't have internet at age 11. I can't believe she's 11 already, by the way, I remember when she was 6. I didn't get my homework done in time to turn it in today because I was finishing my research for a conference. FUCK. GRADUATE. SCHOOL.

Oh, also I ate dinner last night, which was probably a luxury I did not deserve. But I'm not going to cry about it. Nope, I'm going to hang out at school until very late finishing it, and then sneak into the other building and turn it in. And then I'm going to cry. But my roommate is gone, so I'll be sure not to disturb anyone.

If you do get around to slapping her, videotape it. :D
