I totally love Jen, I would be Jen if I could have my druthers, I mean honestly, Jen is the kid that my aparents wanted, so kind, so diplomatic. Maybe she can go to their Christmas party this year. And she is IRISH for crying out loud, another breed I was warned against as being “too emotional”
I was at adoptedJane’s blog and took her quiz

Your Inner Child Is Happy |
 You see life as simple, and simple is a very good thing. You’re cheerful and upbeat, taking everything as it comes. And you decide not to worry, even when things look bad. You figure there’s just so many great things to look forward to. |
expecting to see just how angry my inner child is, and then of course, my inner child is not so angry.
Well Jesus Adoptee Christ, I am so famous for being angsty and yet every internet quiz tells me I am happy go lucky. What are other people feeling?
Maybe they are like Joey. A happy adoptee who like happy Jack spend their happy time beating up on people. Nicole’s blog is really the best for adoption blog drama. I love it. For one thing Nicole is so articulate, for another, she allows people there, I mean Joey would have been so mocked and deleted from my personal space.
It is interesting how most often the offenders are adoptees or aparents, although I can think of some natural parents who are incredibly offensive as well.. I mean if you are stupid OR cruel, I can forgive, the combination of stupid and cruel is where I draw the line.
Looking around the wonderful blog world, I also see people posting the 10 things they want to get off their chests. Which is cool, but also makes me think I have zero things to get off my chest, all the things needing off, are off.
That doesn’t mean I am pro-adoption, that doesn’t mean I haven’t suffered grievously, I have, no question, and it doesn’t mean any of my parents have EVER recompsensed what they did to me, no fucking way.
I was parentified all down every line. No question.
And yet I find happiness.

No, Joy. People like me who spend a lot of their time reflectively obsessing over the what-ifs of adoption… >_>
Sometimes it’s better when you don’t have a lot of things to say. Unlike me. XD

Your Inner Child Is Surprised
You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you’re rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.
How Is Your Inner Child?

I had a peek at the Joey saga, interesting that she chooses a typically male name and then says she’s female….
Reminds me of my angry days.
I also noticed that the weazels like that awful sunfish person come out and say ridiculous things like “keep rocking!” – keep rocking? You have to laugh though don’t you.
Yes so i am having a little peek because I am procrastinating on the booklet, the cd is done but now the booklet argh…..
Glad your inner child is happy, I wonder what mine is surprised about?
Sending big rock and roll waves of love to you Joy
oh and
keep rocking is the new peace wish….

What the hell are druthers, anyway?

I’m naughty! haha
Like a child, you tend to discount social rules.
It’s just too much fun to break the rules!
You love trouble – and it seems that trouble loves you.
And no matter what, you refuse to grow up!
And this is brilliant Joy “I mean if you are stupid OR cruel, I can forgive, the combination of stupid and cruel is where I draw the line.” You rock.

Outbursts, OK. No problemo.
I’m rather fond of them actually — they add depth to a person.
Deliberately and consistently cruel is where I draw the line.
Personally I don’t think Joey is *that* stupid.
But I do think she’s cruel.
Hopefully she’s smart enough that one day she’ll realize that — and get to work on being kinder.
Apparently I’m surprised too.

I did not find Joey overly bright, I do think she is in denial, she’s so angry that steam is coming out of her ears.
I also think that Andrea woman and Sunfish26 are awful weazels whose faces i’d be tempted to slap – very hard.

My inner child is SCARED.
Like a kid, you tend to shy away from new experiences.
You prefer what’s tried and true – novelty is scary!
New foods, new places, and new friends are difficult for you to deal with.
Some say you’re predictable, but you enjoy being comfortable.
