Comments on: The log that blogs - starting a blog http://blog.donnawilliams.net/2006/03/10/the-log-that-blogs/ Ever the arty Autie Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:26:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: donna http://blog.donnawilliams.net/2006/03/10/the-log-that-blogs/#comment-18057 donna Fri, 01 Feb 2008 23:55:02 +0000 http://blog.donnawilliams.net/2006/03/10/the-log-that-blogs/#comment-18057 the groin is still in my garden greeting guests. used to be by the front door really left people a bit speechless open the door and they'd be all disarmed funny that a log can do that but you should have seen when it started growing orange fungi! hilarious only on the groin part too. can I change a tyre? my father had a used car sales yard he taught me, RDI style to wash car windows and at around 17 or so he'd get me to use the tyre thingy to undo wheels and the jack my sequencing is shot so, yes, lots of catastrophe and all parts of the action in the wrong order but he was very determined I'd not get harmed by strangers if I got a flat tyre strongly believed in empowering me taught me to box, too, when I was being bullied upon going to high school/s unfortunately I became such a good fighter, kids then would rile me into fighting back and circle me like I was a performance fighter I hated it, was so scared, but yes, I generally came off best. mania and boxing skills mixed with adrenaline addiction is a bad/good combo depending on context. I hate it was a world that made me fight. when I was 17 I lost it at a woman who was slamming her 4 year old against a phone box. needless to say my rage at the woman and showing her what it felt like traumatised her child more than the mother's own abuse. I realised right after that that I should never be violent, unless saving a life. there are no excuses. Passion takes many forms I prefer the artistic. the groin is still in my garden greeting guests.
used to be by the front door
really left people a bit speechless
open the door and they’d be all disarmed
funny that a log can do that
but you should have seen when it started growing orange fungi!
hilarious
only on the groin part too.

can I change a tyre?
my father had a used car sales yard
he taught me, RDI style to wash car windows
and at around 17 or so he’d get me to use the tyre thingy to undo wheels
and the jack
my sequencing is shot
so, yes, lots of catastrophe and all parts of the action in the wrong order
but he was very determined I’d not get harmed by strangers if I got a flat tyre
strongly believed in empowering me
taught me to box, too, when I was being bullied upon going to high school/s
unfortunately I became such a good fighter, kids then would rile me into fighting back
and circle me like I was a performance fighter
I hated it, was so scared, but yes, I generally came off best.

Does it take a day or so to get on line, or did the school veto my sending a blog on their computer system? I'm at home now, so am going to see if this one comes up before I repeat my rave reviews of your funny, wise writings. I am a certified (and probably certifiable) Special Ed teacher and am privaledged to work with a number of "auties" and "aspies". They are truly beautiful kids and you have given me a glimpse of the possibilities they can aspire to in adulthood. You are a wonderful writer and a gift to us all. Thank you for telling us your stories. Deb Miller Hi Donna,

It was really a root, admittedly. But it looked like a mermaid. Well, it did to me...just not to anyone else. But it sat outside our door anyway. Welcome to the wonderful world of (b)logging.
