Have your parents ever gotten so angry, that they raised their voice while scolding you? Have you been scarred for life by these past experiences, even though they still love you? Have you ever tried to forget these painful memories, but you can't? I said yes to all these questions.

Whenever I remember times my parents yelled at me, I feel sad and scared. I recall this one bad time. I was playing Megaman Network Transmission and entered a boss fight against gutsman. The game, being as cheap as it could be, killed me. I screamed in anger and my dad entered the room. He told me in the meanest voice possible that my mother was resting and wanted me to stay quiet. He scares me, even today. Don't think he's abusive though, he's still one of the best dads on the planet.

I want to forget this, and many other painful memories so badly. And yet, I cannot. I just want to purge these damned memories, I hate them so much. I just want to gouge out their entrails and crush their heads. I want them dead. I hate them, I HATE THEM!

What brought up this topic was a certain episode of Hamtaro (Or more specifically, Tottko Hamutaro). This episode was very different from the others. In this episode, Hamtaro, chews on what he thinks is a sunflower seed. It isn't, it's a flower brooch his owner, Laura, received. When she sees it, for the first time I've seen in the series, she gets angry and yells at Hamtaro, who has a look of mental anguish on his poor face. Laura normally treats Hamtaro like a little brother, this was a very surprising act. What's odd is that I actually like this episode because of it. It shows that even Hamtaro can go through some painful times with his family.
