Title: What I learned in Straight
Post by: JDavid on January 20, 2003, 04:54:00 PM

I learned:

If I screw up at all, I am worthless to the cause and need to be buried or demoted back to nothing for more thorough brainwashing.

When I see the opposite sex nearby, I should walk turning a huge arch pattern as I go past her/him.

Always let people interrupt me, but never interrupt someone else.

If I am not perfect and successful in pleasing concentration camp officials, I will relapse and die.

If I pretend to know myself better than concentration camp officials, I will relapse and die.

If my parents run out of money, I will relapse and die.

My parents are not some kind of relative I was naturally blessed with, they are rewards for complying with mind rape.

I don't know what I was when I was born, but turning 18 meant I was a human being.

Eye contact is only for human beings.

Freedom is only for junkie losers want to relapse and die.

Sleeping with any clothes on is bad.

Never talk to people like me.  Only tell my deepest, darkest and most FAKE evils to my enemies.

How to snake spit and blow spit bubbles.

Fake it 'til ya make it.

Recovery means making shit up!

My memory of Iron Maiden songs, from start to finish, is pretty damn good.

Personal hygeine is PROCRASTINATION.

Medical attention is a hassle.  It's best to pretend I'm not injured.

Sadism is more popular than I thought.

Watching the other gender do domination and submission activities is arousing.

Sitting in one place all the time doing nothing is the best thing I can do "for myself".

Any place except "the building" or a host home is paradise.

Being able to slouch in my chair or walk around whenever I want is the ultimate success in life.

Apply it to yourself!

what else is there to say?  Struggle w/that crap to this day.  Man, I wish my escape attempts worked when I was a kid.  I tried twice, and then I just gave in "sigh"

If there's a worse idea going than locking people up for drug use, it's probably locking them up in close proximity to some tyranical altruist who wants to 'help' them with a problem that probably doesn't exist

"My parents are not some kind of relative I was naturally blessed with, they are rewards for complying with mind rape."

Well that says it all! It is interesting the perspectives that we former clients have, and the unnatural and unusual environment from where our perspectives came.

This comment of yours hit me like a brick. It was like, dude. I believe this statement was the sum total of what was wrong with Straight. Straight was fundamentally unnatural in the extreme.

The idea that we had to defy nature to be loved by our own family is singularly the most devastating part of our experience at Straight in my opinion.

I remember you from Straight Atlanta. I was there for a month or two before you were withdrawn. Wasn't it Tim Robinson that you tried to maul? I have a faint memory about you getting restrained and your shoe flying off. The good ole days.

Sincerely,
Scott

P.S.- I finally figured out the "sleeping with any clothes on is bad." I totally forgot about that! I kept my underwear on though.

There were two Tims there.  The one I attacked was the taller one.  The other one was a very small guy.  We were on the back row when I did that.  The phaser pileup on me wound up being about 2 yards in front of the guys' bathroom door.  It was probably the most massive, longest lasting takedown in the 9 months I was there.

I wore high-tops in straight, so that wouldn't be my shoe coming off.  That sounds more like the sloppy work of Thomas or Walter.  Heheheheh they were my bros even though I never got to talk to 'em.  There was also this other intense "fighter" guy there who finally got taken to jail.  He reminded me of Jim Morrison.  He was in another dimension.  We never had a clue about him because he never did talk to the group.

My last two months there are the most hazy to me.  That era was after I escaped from 2nd phase, disappeared for two weeks, then started over in November.  

The only Scott I remember is the guy who started at the same time I did, Scott Pangle.  I'd remember you if you show me a pic though.  Click "profile" if you want to get my email address.  I have some pics from when I was 14 (a few months before my time in Straight) that I can email.
