1989 Daily Life and Impacts by Quinlan

This year, we made $154.34 Million; after the 34% taxes are removed, we have $101.864 Million. Then, after Ms. Lee's fee, our profit is $91.678 Million. This will be used for improvements at the campus at Panther, Texas. We can make it contingent on them not hiring/keeping Mr. Assel and his wife. The funds can be allocated to the band hall and the junior high expansion (making the planned band hall and instruments better and pushing the junior high expansion to before i go there instead of after i get to high school). The remainder will be used to make our owned locations for Kitsune's and Penny Profits in the capitals of each state and one location in each major city, plus the Japan and Korea locations. We will continue funneling the best employees to locations i will go to. We will still support cheap franchises but strictly adhere to our ideals and policies, especially support for our girls.

We will also communicate with Tim Berners-Lee to assist him at CERN with creating the World Wide Web. We recommend that Dallas push at least broadband corridors, preferably fiber optics, with a minimum of connecting schools and government buildings. This would move them ahead of most cities and encourage more companies to move here. We will also support the Gameboy release this year, Super NES next year, and Sega Genesis the following year.

i will also get Ms. Lee to send me a Telecaster, an amp with headphone connectors and a keyboard with headphone connections. The guitars i played in my last life won't exist yet, but i can't play Stratocasters. i could never get used to how hard their fretboard is. With these instruments, i can silently practice the songs i like and figure out the parts for K-pop songs to "write" for the Band. i can get those songs approved to play in the stands during the boring football games in Panther, Texas, and the Rainbow School in Dallas.

Politically, we will need Bush to threaten sanctions on China before the Tienanmen Square incident in April. Then, we should warn the UK about the issues at Hillsborough Stadium to prevent the fatal crowding at the event. We also need to warn Exxon to ground the Valdez before March for a full service. Because big businesses can't be trusted with safety, we will alert the EPA to enforce the full service due to our "forecast" of the impending oil spill. We will suggest multi-million dollar fines if Exxon does not remove the tanker. We will privately "forecast" the impending 7+ magnitude earthquake in San Francisco Bay and recommend the region crack down on building codes and insurance requirements before it happens.

To limit the savings and loan bailout this year, we will also push Bush into ramping up regulatory oversight. He will also need to warn Iraq about their genocidal desires pushing us towards war with them. i will recommend that we ramp up the military and go in to altogether remove the government when they incite us next year. This will prevent Bush 2 from his stubborn jihad pushing our allies away.

This year, my mom got back with a former boyfriend, Rodney, who is abusive. Then he moved us away from our family to be by his domineering mother. The place we moved to was Quinlan, Texas. The positive of living there was having an old neighbor, Bill, who was nice. i spent most of my time here with him and his wife. Eventually, i talked to him about my company. I included him on the payroll to be my scapegoat for the person controlling the company. This was my plan from the start. He signed a confidentiality agreement and agreed to my use of his name in the future.

This year, i will need to get Ms. Lee to buy the future home in Indian, Kansas, and upgrade it so that my future room in the basement will be more private. Then, i will get her to move and employ my crush from the previous life (and her family) closer. This may shake up her life, but financially, her family will be more secure.

Going back to Rodney's abuse, the least damaging was the actual physical abuse. Whether it was open-handed spanking or the later use of switches and cutting boards. If you understood that he just wanted you to cry, you learned how to do that on the trigger. This did lead to a more disconnected feeling and my draw towards cutting when i wanted to release emotions.

The more significant impact of this time was his throwing me into the lake and telling me to swim or die; it made me aware that death is an option. It also brought up drowning as a possible method. i would say that this was the beginning of the suicidal thoughts that i had for over 30 years in my last life. It is also why i couldn't swim around certain people. They would hold me under the water, and since i wanted to die i would be pissed every time i survived. In this life, i already knew how to swim, so i just ignored him and swam back to shore far away from him.

The last method is usually the worst. Abusive people want to control your emotions, so they keep looking for reasons to "punish" you. i have never been that fond of pork, but in my previous life, i was forced to eat bacon because someone stole a piece (maybe). In this life, it's already clear that i will take any punishment to not eat pork since i am secretly maintaining my previous life's religion/s. There were enough reasons for all the Middle Eastern religions to ban pork, and the ban is still fully justified.
