...and what is positive about your Gaslight covers? Be specific and be positive! Jeez, it's like pulling teeth with you sometimes.

You need a drink, Sarah! I'll send a bottle of tequila your way.

Haha, thanks! Tequila does baaaad things to me!

Don't drink shots. Make margaritas!

Ah, good plan! Care to join me? We'll get the whole Spam crew to come have drinks!

How about this, Jimothy - a positive thing in your life is that you can always sign into the forum and have someone to talk to, maybe someone to make you laugh. We might not be at the coffeeshop, but we're still your friends. Isn't that a positive thing?

I feel like we should all share something positive about ourselves to show Jimmy how it's done. Okay class, who wants to start? I'll give you a star sticker...!

Can I go first? Oh can I, please?

Yes John, please share with the class. I love your enthusiasm!

One positive thing is that I've got music in my life. Not only can I listen to it whenever I want to, but I can play instruments too. It feels great to have that skill.

That was lovely John! I'm going to give you two stars for such a creative and uplifting fact you shared about yourself.

The fact That I did a decent cover of the songs.

I would love to! I haven't had a margarita in forever! It's freezing cold tonight and that would warm me up for sure!

That was a good try, but you need some more practice. Decent is not a totally positive word. It just means okay, alright, not bad but not necessarily good either. Try something else Jimmy. Maybe something about you personally that you like.

Okay, I'll share a positive thing. Over the past couple of months I have had a bunch of people compliment me on being a responsible, hardworking, and nice person. I always try my best to be all of those things, so to have several people tell me that I am like that, meant the world to me.

Sniff, sniff (Shannon gets a little choked up and wipes away a tear). That was beautiful, Sarah. You should be very proud of yourself for being all of those wonderful things and having those qualities recognized by others. It makes a huge difference when other people notice your efforts, doesn't it? Two stars and a happy face for you too!

Why thank you ma'am! It does indeed make a huge difference when people not only notice, but acknowledge things like that!

Also, Jimmy's gone again.

Sigh. Why am I not surprised? I hope he realizes that we are just trying to help him. I can't stand to see someone so down in the dumps, especially to the point where he can't think of a single good thing to say about himself. It kind of kills me a little inside.

Okay, now I'll share something positive about myself. I am very good with children and have made a difference in many lives, especially with the kids I take care of now. They know that they always have someone to run to if they need anything and that I will love them unconditionally forever. I would give up anything for them and their parents realize this and appreciate my dedication to their children, which makes my job all the more enjoyable.

Shannon is such a lovely person it baffles me.

How about this then? I had a girl call me an awesome musician, and a sweet guy with a lot to offer? Does that work?

I have such a wonderful little brother!

Honestly, I don't know how lovely I am, I just care about everything way more than most people do. I have very extreme emotions! And knowing that Jimmy is out there thinking that there is nothing good about himself at all, it just breaks my heart.

As for the kids, I love them so much, I would die for them. Seriously, I would jump in front of a speeding train if they were standing on the tracks and push them out of the way. They may not be my daughters, but in my heart they are "my kids".

RANDOM STORY TIME.

In 2010-2011 I was a substitute teacher, and on my first week I had second grade, which was a group of about 25 kids. During recess they all fucking wanted to go piggyback, which was fun, I enjoy doing that, but it's exhausting and I couldn't even sit down or they'd literally start crawling all over me.

Anyway, they'd take turns going piggyback, and this one pretty overweight girl said she wanted to try, and some other kids were like "you're too heavy for that", to which I replied "nonsense" and let her climb up on my back and then I ran around the entire schoolyard. I felt like a gosh darn hero for the rest of the day.

I also felt like an old woman with all the back ache going on but it was worth it!

YES! One star for the compliments you received and another one if you can honestly tell us that you believe them, which you should.

It's been a lovely time, everybody, but I have to go to sleep. I've been awake for about 30 hours now.
Goodnight, John and Shannon! And anybody else roaming around!

Good night Sarah! GET YOURSELF SOME GOOD DAMN SLEEP!

Yeah, I am calling it a night as well. Yeah. I do believe both statements about myself.

John, that was a beautiful and inspirational story. That little girl will probably remember that for a very long time, maybe even forever. I bet you were a hero to her.

RANDOM STORY TIME II

When I was a senior in high school I did an internship in a first grade class. There was one little boy who still couldn't read halfway through the year, so I took it upon myself to show up half an hour early every day and work with him one-on-one until he caught up. After about two months he was reading at grade level and got his first 'A' on a test. He gave me the biggest hug and told me I was the best teacher ever. I'll never forget that as long as I live.

Way to make everyone feel an ass about them selves for not being that awesome Shannon

My sister just got home and was telling me about her weird day at work, so sorry I'm late with the goodnights. Goodnight Sarah, goodnight Jimmy! And here's your star, dude!

Aww, thanks Andrew, but I'm not really all that awesome. I'm just good with kids and have had a lot of experience working with them. It's a gift, I guess.

Now that's just beautiful.
