So I finished The Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex and according to Sigmund Freud the sexual nature of a human being starts in infancy when they attain not only nutritional but sexual gratification from suckling at the moter's breast and later from sucking on one's own thumb. This is bc the mouth is considered an erogenous zone. He also leads us to assume that children withold their feces as long as possible bc they experience sexual pleasure from taking a dump. We don't remember this bc we've been taught since early childhood to repress our sexual tendencies.

Thoughts?

She lost interest halfway through and decided to play the new Mario game for her DS that I got her instead of helping her old man build her Lego house. Oh well. It's good to see her happy.

Yeah those Lego things are ridiculous. Maybe you should have gotten her a Lego game for the DS. The most I ever built with lego was beach house and then I had my Lego shark eat everyone.

You know Sigmund Freud is regarded as pretty much a total crackpot?

His real contribution was in setting up analytic frameworks so mental problems could be quantified and addressed. His specific details on these subjects tho were pretty whack.

I'm not sure what to think of this. I do, however, have an oral fixation. I love oral sex, smoking cigarettes, and chewing on my fingers (not the nails but the weird skin-like stuff between the nail and the skin). What does that say about me?

I really wanted her to have a hands-on experience with Legos. I guess she isn't old enough to have the attention span required to complete a whole house though. She was helpful for a little while, but she got bored after about 30 minutes.

Tell me about it. The first third of the book disscusses homosexuality and most if not all of his theories on the birth of it's existence to how to cure it have been disproven. He believed that if a boy grew up without a strong male figure in their lives they would most undoubtedly turn out effeminate. He wa also a fan of the old saying "spare the rod; spoil the child". Any sort of undue emotional coddling would lead to sexual perversion in adulthood as well as make the child sexually attracted to their parents.

It sucks having to go back to work. I've been off for four days. It was like a mini vacation. But it's back to work time.

I would love to have a job. I desperately need independence from Adam. Our lives would be so much more compatible if I didn't have to fight him for chump change. Where do you work?

Don't forget that Freud really loved his cigars . . .

If you don't mind dealing with the public, apply for a front desk position at a hotel. If you can find one that is among the major chains like Holiday Inn Express, you have a better than average chance. Don't apply for a housekeeping position as it might just depress the hell out of you.

Some places may only hire in at minimum, but may have incentives for clocking in on time, attendance, etc. An extra .25/hour for clocking in on time each month is pretty sweet not to mention the employee rates when traveling. A lot of hotels are independently owned and have varying perks or none at all, but if you're serious it might appeal to you.

Thank you but the town I live in is so small the closest hotel is 37 minutes away in the next town over. We don't even have a B&B. I was thinking of going to the Crawfish Shack. It appears to be a very down home redneck joint familiar with it's frequent patrons. I like familiar faces. It puts me at ease in my work place since I'm normally very shy and reserved around strangers.
