Sorry for him being back so soon - he won't shut up about his mun and possible games
So. You allowed your anger to cloud your judgment and embarrassed yourself. [Sighs] You are far from the first person to do this. Certainly you had a good reason to be upset but you allowed it to rule your thoughts and actions. This is not good. Your mother is right - you MUST learn to keep your words to yourself. Emotions are healthy and it is okay to be angry and frustrated. But - you cannot allow your feelings to boil over and consume you. The only one who will truly suffer the consequences of your words and actions will be you.
Stop sacrificing your dignity and integrity in order to vent your temper. It is not worth it, my child. Learn from your mistakes. You behaved poorly and nothing can set it right except action. Do not say you'll do better next time. Save your words and merely BE better all the time. You have great strength of character and you are, usually, very wise. Tap into those traits and do what needs to be done.
On a completely unrelated note - what is this you are saying about possibly looking for a game to put me in?

omg your voice for Splinter is fantastic :D
[This kid included.]
Thank you! I was scared I would muck it up. <3
[A good-natured smile]
Sometimes, self-imposed embarrassment and shame are far worse than any punishment or harsh words from others.
Nah. I totally read that entry hearing Hoon Lee's voice in my head. X3
But wow, four sons, huh? Do they look like their father?
[In other words, are they all also giant talking rodents?]
Yay! I love his voice so much. /swoon
[He knows what the young man is referring to and chuckles.]
No. They are turtles.
[Splinter might be trying to mess with the kid's head a little - good-naturedly, of course.]

[That earns you a slight head tilt, sir, before realization dawns.]
Oh, hey! I know a couple of talking mutant turtles. Dunno if they're actually two out of those four sons, though.
[Oddly, he's not even questioning how a six foot tall rat ended up with reptilian sons. Probably because his first assumption is adoption.]

[The former never introduced himself as anything more. The latter did, giving the name of Donatello, but said he was okay with being called "Donnie." Informal all the way around, really.]
I've known Mike longer, but probably not as well as I could. Dude likes to keep to himself, mostly. I only met Donnie a couple of weeks ago, but over the city's network and not in person. I think Mike's watching him like a hawk and won't let him wander around on his own.

[Granted, she feels that this is only true when the fury is directed, but that's not the point. The point is you are a stranger challenging her entire worldview, puny furry thing.]
There is plenty of dignity to be found in properly channeled fury!
no subject
You are correct. Righteous anger is respectable. However, one must pick his or her battles. There are some things that are not worth the effort of being upset and one cannot allow the anger to become disproportionate to the infraction that spawned it.
no subject
[Though she's of the opinion is was usually, at the least, appropriate. And tends to view battle as a somewhat neutral concept regardless of what's being fought over, considering how normal it is for Tetramands to go out and conquer the neighbors.]

[There's no outrage here, only a gleeful urge to explain--which could possibly merit some concern.]
Aimless fury serves no one, and will only lead to an inevitable defeat in combat! Hardly a reliable way to conquer ones adversaries!

[She's not starting an argument, honestly. She's just curious.]

I - think she might be talking about my game, Tu Shanshu? It's pretty cool, I guess - I mean the city is on top of a giant turtle, and, my player sure won't stop talking about it. She says it's just her speed, whatever that means.
But... We - just lost Raph and Mikey. It's just me now. I mean, there are my cousins, but - I'm... the only one left from our family.
I gotta say, it would be... really nice.
If you could be there too.
