Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm a...


I have had way more than my share of  
nutcases, loonies and whackos...


And today, someone I trusted went the full Manson on me...


And I even cried two and a half times!


 Luckily I had Mary for comfort 
(and a call from my darling Ada)


I HATE that my first response is tears. 

I wish it were...


But I try to be philosophical about it...


 And at least I looked super cute in my 
vintage-semi-chola-Mexi-biatch-overalls 
and funky new glasses...

I wore: 
Vintage overalls - Gift from my darling friends Jim and Nina 
Long sleeved tshirt, Bangles and bracelets and Chucks - Retail
Brooch - Retail and flowered by me
Sunnies - Gift from darling Daniel


Any of you guys subject to an abnormally 
high number of fucking nutcases? 
How do you manage? 
Tears? Ninja? Helena Bonham Carter?
All tips gratefully appreciated. 

Sarah

It sucks that you kept attracting nutcases and loonies. My first reaction is always tears too. I agree with Helga they aren't worth your time. I hope your radar turns itself off soon so you can attract some nice normalish people. xx

Darling Sarah, that nasty person did not deserve your fabulousness. Xx

How dare they!!!! I am so over "pond scum" being mean to lovely sweet peas like you!!! Throw the water Lilly at them and hope it gives them duck itch.
Me, I am a full- on crying and big snotty mess when people let me down. After the year we have had I wish I had frickin shares in Kleenex. I would be sad and rich. That would be right.
Now the overalls are OVERALLS!!!! Next to frocks they are my favorite thing ever.
Sending a furry squirrel hug!!! Love v

Kitty said...

Yup, I too am a magnet for mentals...e.g. VBs father, a heroin-addicted schizophrenic--->moving back to QLD to escape. I can LOL now that he is back in Greece, but not at the time.
I hope you can get past it, these things can be insanely stressful. Email me directly for commiserations if necessary.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Touch wood I haven't had any oddballs pestering me, though the village has three resident nutters, Beardy man, Black! and Soup Man. I just get far too much attention from elderly men who blow me kisses from cars and make inappropriate remarks to me.

Konad-licious said...

They only went mental at you cause they hate how FABULOUS you always look. Haters gonna hate.

Miss Tallulah Porkchop said...

Was it an adult tantrum that was unleashed upon you? I look at them, now, with interest. "Oh my, the communication skills of a five-year-old in fifty-year-old body. How embarassing for you".

I seem to attract a high number of old, foreign, over-amorous men, myself. Lucky. Not.

Sue said...

Oh poor you, that sort of crap just freaks me out. Why do we let people get to us?? Well I hope you are feeling stronger now, and agree with all the above peps, the nut jobs should just leave you the fuck alone. Take a Wide berth next time when one is heading your way. Say sorry, closed today!!

Nelly said...

We cry coz we dont expect to be treate meanly coz we dont do it to others.You look gorg. in the overalls.I wore mine on the trip home on Sunday Think I got a few side eyes lol

Ivy Black said...

Oh god love...let me count 'em! Trouble is I find the weirdo's think they're normal and that somehow you're not quite right for liking what you like, saying what you say, believeing what you believe etc. I tend to the Helena Bonham -Carter school of not giving a shit. However, in such cases, I ask myself what would Tilda Swinton do/say. Now there's a lady who properly doesn't give a flying fuck!!!
People are just envious of your fabulosity.....fuck 'em and the horse they road in on.
We love you!!

Go on a date with yourself! A walk under the blue (or rainy) sky - a movie - a gallery visit - buy a bunch of flowers - have your favorite ice cream - read a book - light a candle - have a GOOD cry - scream into a pillow - write three pages full of getting it all out, then throw them away, you are allowed to write EVERYTHING!!! - eat some soup - call Helga - bake bread AND cookies - remember who you are: a lovely pretty funny gorgeous woman - forget about that nutcase! :-) Good luck!

La Dama said...

You would make such a fab chola!
I say go all guns on them.I have a bad tongue so I automatically use it.
There are some seriously disturbed people out there.
Why mess with mi Sarita bonita?

Lucy Nation said...

Tears aren't a weakness, just the body's natural reaction to shock and hurt. There are so many freaks and scumbags out there. Finding a way to navigate this crazy world is a knack and a half. People mock what they don't understand. You obviously threaten them and their pathetic snivelling little lives. Just keep doing what you're doing! xx

tralala said...

Ack - the tears are infuriating - peeps don't realize they can be ANGRY FECK YOU tears.

As to the prob - well - you aren't here to be anyone's mental health worker. And I'm assuming you're talking the usual level of feckwittage here? I find two responses usually back them the feck off:

1. Do not engage. No eye contact. Walk away. If they choose to scream stuff at your back - then guess who looks like the not-right. That goes for feckwit-friends too - only the full Lady Bracknell will do.

2. Choose to challenge. Say "Excuse me?" and find out just how brave the feckwit is. In my experience, feckwits assume you are both deaf and blind.

3. Don't put yourself at risk - if someone is going to go Hulk-angry on you - just do yourself a favour and retreat.

Sometimes it isn't worth banging your head against a locked door. If someone's tiny mind can't accept your fabulousness or failure to conform with plain vanilla womanhood - then it isn't EVER going to compute.

I love HB-C's death-stare.

You are FABULOUS.

Pull Your Socks Up! said...

Oh my darling Sarah, HOW DARE someone go psycho on you!! My response today would be to run around my back yard naked, yesterday my response would have been to stab a pillow repeatedly, tomorrow I may have to shave my head. One is NEVER really prepared for psychotic events, however one may expect them to rear their ugly little heads and your response is completely natural. Tears are good. Last night I was bawling and made four headbands at the same time ... now that's what I call therapy and "fuck off I might be crying but I'm gonna do some awesome shit at the same time" - isn't that amazing? I think you are feck off amazing in the BEST SUNGLASSES created by the floral angel that nuzzles up to your delicious booboids. Molti baci, Desiree xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Some Lady Brackers for you - hopefully it will make you smile!!

pastcaring said...

Don't let the bastards get you down, my honeypie, there are PLENTY of right-minded people who know how fantabulous you are!
Tears are fine, if you're hurt then you cry, but after that - go with the not giving a flying fuckity fuck, I reckon.
You look ever so slightly unhinged yourself in those sunnies, but you're excused cos you're wonderful!!!
I must give off super-strong bitchface vibes as I don't get many freaks bothering me. Perhaps that means I AM the freak, who is bothering other people...
OMG - you'd tell me, right? xxxxxxxxxx

Miss Maple said...

Dear Sarah, sorry that you had sad times. I hope you will feel better one of the next days. Thank you for following my blog. I have to say you made my day a little happier. Hugs from Germany!

delia hornbook said...

Listen your not on your own sweetie. And i cry to that is my first response but do you know what at least that means your human and have feelings. Your beautiful and don't let anybody else tell you other wise. Being different is great why be a sheep and follow everyone else how bloody boring that would be. Believe me i attract the wrong kind. My track record in men for one is horrible. First i married my childhood sweet heart and my boys father but he proved to be a complete lazy ass who did nothing except go to work and that was it nothing in the house or with the boys and we made it for 20 years. Then i married again and he was a lot older than me and a recovering alcoholic and he became so controlling and abusive and my boys were an inconvience to him. I have now just started this week to get divorced but he has been a complete and utter ass to me the past week. Then i met another guy who was controlling to and dirty with it. Then i dated again he had mental health issues and now thankfully i have the greatest guy ever and all i can say is he is normal and for once i don't feel like im someones nursemaid, or counciler. And christ sorry i didn't mean to drag all that out. But at least you know your not on your own ;-)) Be your beautiful self and continue to shine like the beautiful star you are. hugs, dee xxx

Sarah, I'm sorry you had an upsetting confrontation with some retard.

Here, I will cheer you up: this morning while dancing around to Florence & The Machine in my kitchen, listening to "Between TWO LUNGS" (oh yes, it's relevant) I INHALED some of my oatmeal oaties and nearly choked to death over the kitchen sink for a few moments until I was finally left a sweaty, depleted mess.


Don't worry about assholes. I think you're wonderful.

Vix said...

Oh for God's sake! I have to deal with insanity on a daily basis but as it's family I have bugger all choice in the matter.
Walk away, have a good cry, delete their number from your phone and go and do something you love. You're far to fabulous to waste time worrying about it.
Love you (and your crazy specs) xxxxxxx

Miss Simmonds Says said...

my town is a bit full of them and they have gravitated in the past. But these are people I don't know... no one I do has gone proper cuckoo yet. I just get the more passive aggressive types.

Looking hot! xxxx

pinktutu72 said...

My daughter calls me a freak magnate too :( It's because anyone who talks to me I usually respond. Plus that I've met enough bums and whackos to fill Imelda Marcos' shoe closet. Those sunnies are a million times more awesome on you than off. I loveeeee them. Also you look great in overalls :) SO CUTE WITH THE PIGTAILS TOO!

Krista said...

Sarah LOVE, it's ok to be a freak magnet as long as you know that if someone has a problem with you it's them not you!!!! Life is way too short for crazy fucks!!!! I do think if someone is truly a real friend every once in a while they go a lil mental and we should be able to overlook those random occasions...BUT if this is a new person in your life, FUCK THEM, YOUR DEAD TO ME!!!!

I love your pigtails and your crazy glasses from Daniel but I LOVE YOU MOST OF ALL!!!!

(Please sing this next part)
I made your present last night because it's almost your birthday, so forget this crazy person because we all love you and they don't matter!

Tomye said...

Why psychos feel the need to spread their misery around beats me. We have a saying..hurt people, hurt people. It's not you...it's them. Blow it off and leave them to wallow in their own bile. You are just who you are supposed to be! xxoo

Sue W @ Living the Good Life said...

A good little pic is floating around on Facebook at the moment, it says "I'm not a proctologist, but I know an asshole when I see one" That plonker who upset you is quite clearly an asshole! Probably a BIG asshole and as with ALL assholes they are full of shit!♥

Trees said...

That sucks lady!! Sometimes its hard to judge people and it hurts when someone you trust lets you down, but as my Dad wisely said "Wherever you go there are a***holes".

Whatever happens, don't forget you're awesome and you look awesome in those sunnies *swoon*

Miss Peregrin said...

My poor Sarah! I'm a crier as well. I get upset, angry, excited, happy & I cry. It annoys me greatly, because people think it is unprofessional that I cry when I get pissed off, but I can't help it!

Your sunnies look awesome, as does the rest of you. And, at least you attract some awesome freaks too.

Forest City Fashionista said...

Oh Sarah, you are too ultra-frickin' awesome to let anyone get you down for long. If anyone goes off on me, my first reaction is tears, but then that turns to "What The F**king Hell WAs That??!!" and I get pissed. As wonderful as some people are, there are also those whom Sartre was referring to when he said, "Hell is other people". YOu are surrounded by lovely people who send you positive vibes and virtual warm hugs. I love Desiree's response!

Daniel said...

FECK! FECK ! LIFELESS CUNTS ! I wouldn't have punched them,or kicked them! Why even get dirty(getting dirty is good,but not in this case) or waist your time in WORTHLESS,RIDICULOUS "HUMAN BEINGS"!
You sure do know YOU'RE BETTER THAN THEM,HOTTER THAN THEM,GREATER THAN THEM! NO FLYING FUCKS SHALL BE GIVEN! BE STRONG AND BRAVE (YOU ARE!)
LOve you more than Unicorns,platform shoes,etc.!

+*Awesome Brooch! Luv it ! LOVE YOU$ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXXXX

Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping] said...

Sorry some pissweasel upset you (great word huh?), I used to cry when I was really mad, annoyed me no end. Now I am the Queen of the bitchy retort. But yeah, if there's one weirdo at the bus-station he'll gravitate toward me.
