no, just no. I have been tearing my hair out for about a week and a half now. dealing with stupid shit layered on stupid shit on a shit foundation. No more. I refuse to fucking care any more. There is nothing i can do anymore and I won't try. As of now, I give no fucks. I will sit down and sleep my ass off and play games. Fucks not given. fucks denied, and i feel so much better for it.

My boss wants me to give up my weekend internship so I can WORK WORK WORK more for her. I think she sees it also as a threat to keeping me on, I think.

Much as I like being full time employed, I had the internship long before I had the job, and I only need to put in 50 more hours to complete the internship.

Plus I'm totally leaving this job in about three more months to move to Kentucky

Lolita is officially the worst fandom I have ever been in. Never have I seen a bunch of adult women protesting SO VEHEMENTLY that they are not trying to be like 12-year-old girls while acting EXACTLY LIKE 12-YEAR-OLD GIRLS. With the bitchiness and the pettiness and the Girl A said Girl B said something mean about me and someone else has been banned from Facebook and it must be Girl B and someone else posted a nasty secret about me and OH MY GOD HOW OLD ARE YOU.
I am seriously regretting getting into this fashion, and that makes me really, really sad. This would never happen in steampunk.

I hate how my school/course of study has this unwritten standard that its students should look good. I'm one of the few (maybe less than 15 altogether) who aren't skinny, and I have the fashion sense of a doorknob. When I found out I had been accepted into the course (the best Mass Communications course in my country), I was happy but afraid of the peer pressure I'd be subjected to. Of course, I could just do my own thing and feel comfortable with myself, but I don't think I'm strong enough to bear with it for two and a half more years.

On a happier note, I received the pictured sewing pattern in the mail a few days ago. I want to learn how to sew, and having this in my possession sort of inspires me to do so.

I feel confused. My friend that I have had a crush on for years is back from far away college for a few days. I know she is probably going to want to spend this short time with her family. I can accept that. She said it would be better to spend time with her around Thanksgiving because she would be here longer then. We didn't really hangout outside of school anyway. I am feeling a mix of happiness that she is back, sadness from knowing that even if she suddenly did want to be more than friends it would have to be long distance, and she has already turned me down before due to "not being able to handle a relationship". I know that feeling, I would not have any idea how to have any kind of relationship, but for some reason that is all I want. Every year I tell myself "this will be the year you finally get a girlfriend" and it always turns out to be a lie. I don't like anyone here and they don't like me. And so I am always alone, communicating only with the previously mentioned friend and one other who is not relevant to this disscussion. My default mood is neutral with depression increasing throughout the day, so by now I am not feeling so great. I hate that I sound so whiney whenever I talk about this stuff.
>> US No. 10106
I always tell my friends I'll be there if they need moral support. I always listen to their problems and offer advice without complaint. I always help them the best to my ability.

But I mention being upset, and the only person that even asks me why is a friend that I've never seen open up in her entire life, much less be serious about anything.

I guess, on the bright side, it was good to see that her quietness doesn't mean she doesn't care.

My girlfriend is at a con, so we've been out of contact for a whopping twenty four hours, and I'm already missing her pretty bad. That feels kind of pathetic, but I guess I'm used to talking to her on a near constant basis, even just through text. But I'm glad she's having fun.

I think the fact that the weather snapped really suddenly from blistering, sweltering summer to massive freezing rainstorms gave me an early burst of SAD or something. Spent a long time lying awake in bed not being able to keep a train of thought and not wanting to eat or do anything with myself...

Then I found out that D&D was indeed meeting and I had to get up and get prepared. I was still underprepared, but we had fun anyway, since we finally had the whole group back.

Need to be depressed less. Tomorrow night I go to the theatre to see Charley's Aunt, so I'm looking forward to that. And then Wednesday I'll be 27... so, ice cream will happen.

Let's be nonstandard lolis together. I've been tired of the bitchiness since I got in. I mostly ignore it, and I'm lucky that my local comm isn't that bad save for a couple people.

You know, i already played with the idea to open a thread. I mean not about Loli or so, but rather something along Off-Topics Hobby asking helping thread. Because i noticed we have much knitexperiences folks around here and i like to knit, too, but i´m rather still new to it and i really can´t get the hang out of it, how to knit a muster into a scarf.

I don´t even know how to knit a scarf in a other pattern than the gardner stitch.
And internet did disappoint me greatly.

Tf2chan knitting circle would be amazing! I've just cast on my attempt at a stuffed Dalek. In the round, on dpns, with a lot of colourwork and shaping. It is probably going to be a disaster.
Also it's freezing in here, what is central heating?

I want to be with someone so bad even though part of me knows that it just won't work out, or at least isn't possible for a long time. They'll probably find someone better than me by then.

I had a friend preach to me about how guys should never come in the way of friends. She finally got her first boyfriend and completely fucked with my emotions six ways from Sunday. I just got over a rejection, and I had to bear witness to the guy flirting with some chick for any entire evening while my friend fucked around with her boyfriend, completely ignoring me the entire night while I tried not to cry.

After all the emotional support I've fucking given her. Jesus Christ.

Jesus, where do I start?
It's been a while since I've been round because so much has happened to me. So I got married to an Englishman on August 2nd, and 22 days later he was diagnosed with a 95% probability of Testicular cancer. Because of the circumstances with his citizenship,my lack of money, and because of US charity organizations not wanting to treat fresh immigrants, he was forced to come back to his country to get the rapidly growing tumors removed. He could not get parole and made the woman at the immigration office cry when she told him he would not be allowed to come back because of the visa he was on, and now we have to start the immigration process over, and that it would take another 6 months before he could come and stay.
Because he couldn't stay in the States, I decided to go with him. I quit my job, packed my bags, missed a flight, and somehow managed to get to England.
Currently, I'm stuck in an English flat for 5 months unable to legally work, drive, or really do much of anything for myself.
I even had to borrow money from my parents to pay off my husbands ultra sound scans he got in the US before I left... I pride myself on being money wise, and on my ability to save and I haven't borrowed money since I was 18... It's weird how a disaster makes things change so quickly.

HE has had his surgery,and has recovered very well from it, and in 4 days will be told if he needs chemo treatments. He has about 2.5 feet of thick auburn hair that he's horrified of losing, and I'm not entirely sure how to give comfort for something like that.
But there it is. Now that I'm literally home-bound for the next 5 months, I will probably be allot more active.

This is easily the most life-changing and possibly the most tragic year of my short weird life.

If it helps, my friend was stuck in a similar situation, money-wise. She took the time collecting garbage, making sculptures of it, and sold it online.
I'm not saying you have to do that, but there are lots of online career options out there, or you might be able to even get local under-the-table work, like babysitting.

knitting/sewing circles would be awesome. (I can't knit anything but a straight rectangle, myself... and I haven't done it in a while. I have been getting back into needlework, though)

There were three people I knew in the cast of the play I went to tonight, and they were all fabulous. So that's good. And getting out and going to the theatre helped alleviate my stress/depression that's been weighing me down the past couple days.

So I've decided to spend some of my earlier savings on clothes, bought a neat military styled coat, a few vests, a few black shirts, few pairs of pants and two pairs of shoes. This cost me roughly 800. And yet there were jackets which cost over 1k and that was in a regular store!
And I agree with >>10103, in this private school almost everyone is from upper middle class, and paying 4k for a set of Apple products is probably nothing for them.
I feel inadequate for wearing the same clothes for a few days in a month (although thank god, I'm not the only one and people are generally nice there, I've already made friends with some of them).

Dealing with a mother who's got manic depression and mild Asperger's day in day out is incredibly taxing.

Went to a university open day today with the whole family. Mistake. Before we even get there she's confrontational in the car, working the entire family into a rage during the hour and a half drive to the university. We try to be patient with her, but by the time we get to the university she storms off and we don't see her for another three hours. (She told us she was off to go "throw herself onto the train tracks". She has done this before, many a time, but it's still incredibly worrying every time it happens.) As soon as she comes back to us, I apologise for whatever it was I did that made her angry, which brings on a whole rant about "why the fuck are you so self-accusatory? Do you have some sort of inferiority complex or something? GAWD, I have no idea where you got that from, you little bitch" which is completely ridiculous because I know exactly where I got that inferiority complex from that's been debilitating me my whole life and it's you, and everyone around can see it, you fucking whore, and--

*deep breaths*

Well, needless to say, this kind of behaviour from her is completely normal, but it annoys me that she's allowed to have her mood swings and yell and shout at whoever the fuck she likes whether she knows them or not, while I (inheriting the manic-depressive goodness as well) have to stay prim and proper at all times. And they wonder why I don't talk to them. I've got a fucking tidal wave of words waiting for them behind a dam, about to fucking explode, except it's being held back because the last time I explained to them that I was depressed it made my mum angry at me for being so "weak-willed" which made my dad mad and looking at it from this perspective my family's actually quite fucked up.

I can't wait to get to uni.

I'm the forever alone Swing Dancer from the last thread. I just wanted to tell you guys that your words helped, and I am in a better place now. Last weekend my parents visited me, and though the resulting talks were a bit painful they did help me a lot. I still have a lot of the insecurities and bad feelings, but I'm happier now.

So I'm going to talk about dancing, because it gives me so much joy and makes for fun storytimes.

So my college's swing dance club meets once a week. It's the beginning of the semester so we have a lot of new people, but have been getting a very good turnout and regulars (in the past people would show up for one session and not come back).
So because there's a lot of new people, I'm one of the more skilled members, but I'm patient with people in general. Besides we have fast learners and the club president has short lessons each time.
But then there's this ONE GUY. He takes the cake for the worst lead I've ever had. I don't know what it is, I try to instruct him and lead him in the right direction, but he can't even do the East Coast basic, let alone Lindy Hop. He's got the most stiff, awkward movements I've ever experienced in a dancer, and I've danced with awkward as fuck people. He's like a ball-jointed doll who's afraid his limbs might pop out of their sockets. Posture and proper tension in the arms is important, but there is no place for stiffness in swing (this isn't ballroom, after all).

I Tried telling this guy that he needs to place his weight on the balls of his feet so he has a bounce in his step (THIS IS SUPER GODDAMNED IMPORTANT HOLY SHIT). This is how the conversation went:

"Okay, so jump for me three times. Do you feel how the weight is on the balls of your feet? And how your knees are bent? That's how you want to be."

He stands on his toes "like this?"

"No, you don't want to stand on your toes, but you do want your weight shifted forward."

Still standing on his toes, bobbing up and down awkwardly. At this point I grab a really experienced dancer and ask for help, since he's helped me with my own shit in the past.

Awkward guy is still on his toes. "she told me to stand like this."

We ran out of time before the experienced dancer could explain everything (awkward guy didn't want help, kept saying he could do it on his own), because it was the last song of the evening. I have no idea how to even handle this situation. I generally like instructing people, but this guy man.


Also, fuck Buffalo's schizophrenic weather. It was in the 90s for the first few weeks, mild, then cold and dreary and rainy for another week, and now it's back to being hot again.

If I could, I would send all of my friends who have problems the most courage and luck that there is in the world to go out there, kick those problems in their stupid faces, force them to watch Jersey Shore, kick them off a cliff, catch them in a bucket, kick them off a cliff again, dance around their corpse and then have a drink on their graves.

I can't, sadly. Aw man.

So, in all seriousness: Never forget that I'm willing to listen to your problems, give my advice and cheer you up, but I can't fix your problems for you. I'm not a professional, Jesus or Powdered Toast Man. So no matter how nicely I might be able to pat you on your shoulders, you gotta be tigers and face your issues. You can do it, guys. Face that bitch called life! Give it your most hardcore uppercut! And when you need a rest and some encouragement, I will be your coach at the ring corner, massaging your shoulders and giving you a drink.

There, had to get that out.
You can do it, guys.

Dude's computer was just f'd up. I am feeling better about this now.

I am feeling much worse about other shit. I am starting to worry that I'm not going to be able to find a job here in the US that won't make me want to tear my own eyes out. I just finished an overly-long application to some fucking defense contractor and I feel totally drained. Ugh. All I want to do is make vidya. Is that so much to ask?

Once my thesis is done (which is a whole other source of pain), I'm going to start looking in Canada. I hear the economy is less fucked up there.

I miss my boy right now more than I think I've ever missed anyone, ever. Since I went off to university there've been 106 miles between us, and I feel like every one of them is crowded inside my head, sitting on the happy bit of my brain and kicking me mentally whenever I'm alone. I don't know how to deal with this, as I've never felt anything like it before, ever. We're not even that serious - sure, we're snuggly, and we fuck (a LOT), and we sit under a duvet and drink hot chocolate and watch Doctor Who (the phrase I came up with to describe our relationship was 'Partners Without Detriments', instead of 'Friends With Benefits' - geddit?) but I really don't feel comfortable admitting to people I know just how mind-numbingly much I miss him. Every time I think about him I get a surge of affection, then a boot to the throat about how out-of-arms-reach he is.

*sigh*

We both have our own lives, and I can't just ask him to take a two and a half hour coach ride every time I'm feeling lonely. But in this new city of mine, where I know so few people, hearing about his nights out and the fun he's having just cripples me inside.

I don't know what to do, really. I'm not seeing him for another 19 days.

Sitting in a college class that I don't really hate but don't really want to be in. I'm in it for the hours really and I sit here board out of my skull most of the time.
What I really want is an RP partner. I lost my pc some months ago and lost touch with the few I had. I came back and one or two had moved on and the other dropped off the face of the earth.
The ones that had moved on, the interests between us had changed.
I've posted in the RP board here and am just waiting on someone to take a chance on me.

I realize I am shitty at Tf2, but when someone invites me to play for your little comp. team, last minute, when all I've ever done is derp around as a Pyro, you don't have to remind me how much I suck. I'm only there as a favor, because you need someone extra. I never claimed to be good. I never even asked to play. So stop telling me to spycheck every five seconds. I know I have to. I've been doing it. Right at this moment I can't. I just got mowed down by a Heavy. I'll do it when I come back. Calm your balls, pal.

The above. Why I will never play competitive gaming. Ever.

Put me in a bad fucking mood now. I was going to paint some more masks but now I can't, because I'm angry, and I'll just fuck them up, so I'll do it tomorrow, because it's late anyway.

Other feelings:
Masks. Fucking finish yourselves. I have to find $2500 worth of props. I don't have time for your shit.
And we still don't have a lead costumer, and there's nothing I can do, but it just makes me feel even more unprepared, and like everything is just spiralling out of control, and I can't find my fucking bilingual copy of Waiting For Godot, and it's my favourite, and I know it's SOMEWHERE, but I have no fucking clue where.

And I am sorely tempted to pop an Ativan, but no. I am better than that. (I'm not saying anyone that takes Ativan is lesser than me, of course) I can deal with my stress on my own. I know I can, and I know it is hard, but I will fucking do it because I need to have some goddamn control in my life.

Fuck.

And I'm on that last day of my period where my snatch feels like it's made of sandpaper.

I'm having a very bad day. Which is sad, because it was 20 degrees Celsius today, and that never happens at this time of year.

I never put you on my ignore list. I just hit Deny on the invite. If it went to ignore list then something went wrong, because I never told it to do that.
And a very large part of me is still certain that it was you. If it wasn't, and I am wrong, and it genuinely was someone else, then I apologize to you, and I am sorry if I hurt you. I am in a very bad place right now, emotionally, and a part of me is trying to prevent me from feeling the sadness by making me feel the anger instead. I know I should just keep crying, and let it pass, and get the fuck over it, but it's hard for me.

I am sorry. If it helps, I'm not going back there (this whole experience has soured me against Tf2 almost entirely, now), and the chances of us ever interacting again are slim to nil, so there's that, at least.

Thats the thing though lass, I want to interact with you again because I do like ya, and yer a friend of my super awesome (who is also totally hot) acquaintance 2Ref. I added you to apologise cause the guy in question was such an ass to ya, and maybe ask if ye wanted me to coach ya a little bit, or jump in some games together so we could wreck shit and improve together. heck, I was one of the ones beggin ya to stay and tellin the other guy to get of yer case lass.

I'm also sorry though. Ye mentioned me by name to a few peeps and denied me a chance to say anythin to ya, and Ill admit, THAT got me a bit heated cause I felt I was bein buggered without the chance to correct ya. So Im sorry I got so peeved, though I assure ya, that screamer wasn't me.

I accept your apology, thank you for it, and offer my own. I don't recall anyone other than the two people who invited me there defending me, or asking me to stay, but then I was emotional, and upset, and overtired, so again, entirely possible I didn't hear you. Your mic is rather low, if I remember correctly, as well. I had to strain to hear you any time you talked.

It still bothers me, when people claim to like me when they don't know me at all, but whatever. If you want, I can add you to Steam, and we can converse sometime when I'm not upset to the point of vomiting (Oh well, I needed to shed a few pounds from Thanksgiving Dinner anyway), since you claim to be on my block list. That is a brain scratcher, though. I've never blocked anyone in my life. I'll deny requests, especially if I don't know the person, but I know I didn't block you, because I never do that. It's weird.

Again: I'm sorry, I'm an emotional wreck for the first time in my life, I can't find my fucking favourite copy of Godot, and you typing out your accent makes me smile a little everytime for some reason, so I can't really stay too TOO upset.

I still need an Ativan, though. FML.

I honestly only vividly remember you from the camwhore thread, because of the kilt. Not it in itself, but just because for a moment, I thought we had the same family tartan (so for a moment, I was all 'OMG I'M RELATED TO SOMEONE ON THE CHAN'). When I zoomed, though, the colours were all different, so it was all for naught. (My clan is fucking huge, though, so it wouldn't have surprised me).

It pleases me that you consider me a groovy chick, though. I shall add you when my computer stops trying to tell me to update things I don't have.

Clan's Murray. I've been told our Tartan's the Atholl one, which has green and blue like the one you wore in those pics, but they're brighter, and the pattern's more compacted.

Neato. I should do some work on ancestry.com or whatever sometime. Find out more about my roots. I mean, it's neat that I know my clan and my tartan in Scotland and stuff (and I'd like to know more, honestly), but that's just my dad's Scottish side. I know nothing of his Irish side, and I know very little about my mom's side of the family, past the fact that we've been in Canada for over six generations. Some day I will learn things.

Oh yeah. Feelings.
I found some nice varnish for the masks, and it makes them pop just great. And I had a 50% off coupon, so it makes me feel even better.
And so far, my Orson the wild man mask hasn't completely fallen apart, so I'm wary, but still pleased. But dreading the feather work.

Went to class even though I'm sick, forget my wallet and return home to get it after my first class. I drive back to college then drive around for 20 minutes trying to find a parking space so I can get to my next class only to keep barely missing an open spot (One was stolen!). Finally get a compact space only to have a bump on the side of my car hit the brake light of the guy parked next to me, tearing it out. I put it back in, tape it, and leave my number. Then a friend texts me that my class had been canceled! I wish I woulda stayed home. I also forgot to take a picture dang it. Now I'm nervously awaiting their call.

I feel miserable. Today started out pretty okay then just got worse and worse. I got a flat tire this morning so i couldn't get to work, and my mom was pissed at ME for some reason because of it and started lecturing the shit out of me about doing al of my responsibilities.

Then I found out that the college I was planning to go to for Spring suddenly withdrew my housing deposit (that was, like, $250) and slapped on a huge $450 fee for breaking my commitment or some shit and didn't even tell me or email me about this ahead of time. Not only did I lose my deposit and get stuck having to pay the huge-ass fee (and I don't even know what it's for!), I have to make ANOTHER deposit to secure my place in housing aagain.

And my fucking mom isn't helping a damn bit. She just sits there and berates me for all this like I wanted it to fucking happen, and is all, "Well, you got yourself into this, now get yourself out."

Fuck you. You said you'd help me with all this college bullshit, and you haven't done anything You can rot in a fucking ditch.

I'm... I want to say Stewart, through my dad's side, and I can't remember my mom's side... I just remember her side of the family has less Scottish heritage so it's distant/thin, which is probably why I don't remember. Her side's got a lot of everything, my dad was more straight up Scottish and German.

(Kind of contemplating getting into ancestry stuff, but it's a slippery slope... I already like researching stuff way too much, that could suck me in like crazy...)

All right. Tomorrow morning, by the time I wake up, I will be 27. Tonight my mom's taking me to buy ice cream and chocolate cereal (and I've got to deposit a check).

I have reached the point in my life where, on the one hand, I do feel trepidation about the passing of time and the inevitability of age and its ravages, but I'm still young (or at least immature) enough to really want cake and presents every year...

Have to write my grandma to tell her I spent the birthday money she sent on embroidery stuff-- I think she'd approve of that. If it's a book or something related to an 'industrious' hobby I feel like she would, whereas I'm probably too old for her to smile on my buying toys.

(Then again, she collects dolls, so... she probably wouldn't be too judge-y. She's not really a judgmental woman, but she lived through the great depression, single motherhood in the fifties, the death of her husband and one of her sons, and cancer, so I kind of always feel like I should be making choices she'd approve of... There are not many people I know who are smarter or tougher.)

The only reason I haven't gotten into the lolita fashion is because I get mistaken for a preteen on a regular basis, and I'm worried it'd make me look even younger.

I have no college classes tomorrow and my dad is calling bullshit (because apparently I can't have a teacher seminar day, I'm just trying to skip). He called me at nearly 3 am to scream at me about it. My boyfriend's also coming in to go shopping with me, presumably so we can get NYCC props.

Lolita isn't so much looking younger as it is how you carry yourself. Yes, you'll be frilled out like a porcelain doll, but if you counteract that saccharine sweetness by holding yourself with grace, people won't assume you're younger just because of it. Trust me on this one, I get regularly mistaken for being up to six years younger than I actually am, but that's never happened to me in Lolita just because of bearing.

Of course, it applies to classic and bittersweet and nearly every other substyle, but if you're going for more OTT sweet then the regal bearing trick doesn't fly.

Pretty much everything which goes through my mind in the last days... (i just want to wrote them somewhere down)

I fail at life. Okay?
No, like really. I really doubt that i will EVER somehow be grown up and get all my shit together and all. Today was a PERFECT example. And sometimes such things can happan but i fell like i let someone down. Which is utter BULLSHIT, because this is my life. I don´t feel like i let myself down, but that i did disappoint OTHERS. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

And i frigging know why i´m a bit besides me... and why are my thoughts spinning in circles and biting each others in the tail like two rabid dogs? And why i´m hundred percent sure that what everyone forecasted and what i deep down knew will happen? Why don´t i have some sense of SELFWORTH? Why do i, my WHOLE life see myself as someone who will...?

And i´m sad and angry, because i know the solution and i would do that anytime but...

I still have hope okay? I still have this glimmer of hope and this wish and ...
It is no ones fault, except mine. Because i let it happen in the first place. Because i´m goddamn stupid and i´m so fucking emotional. And i try to get it under control by not showing, but it all pools together and than it´s like a BOMB and it explodes and if it happens than i can´t say it why, because it´s showing WEAKNESS, which it is, because i should controll it better and...
I´m telling these things on the WRONG places like here. No one gets what i´m talking about, but i don´t want that someone knows, but to the same time i want that someone knows and...

I don´t want pity.

Sort of feeling like a snarky bastard. If the boss asks me to work this weekend again* I'm just going to say no. Or if she canoodles me into saying yes, I'm going to break my own leg so I won't have to go in. The money, man, and all, but these seven day work weeks with sudden cancelations of weekend get togethers everywhere is draining as fuck.

*Ordinarily, I'd say FUCK YEAH OVERTIME, but my boss has hired me semi-illegally as an 'independent consultant" (read: I don't want to pay taxes for hiring an assistant.) Kids, when you go out into the real world to find a job, remember this isn't a raw deal if you're really hit up for cash, but you basically have no worker's rights; ie, a right to a break or a right to a day off, and you can kiss time and a half or whatever right the goodbye.

And if a ladder falls on you, your boss will drag you into the street and claim it happened out there, regardless of the amount of gore in the building.

Today was a not so great day from the start. Family was stressed therefore trying to find one outlet for their aggression. Sometimes it´s me than. If i than get a BIT pissed on, you can understand why, don´t you?

But mostly i sit there and i´m all: Calm your nevers everything is going to be okay. To which i once heard: I don´t get you I DON`T CARE ATTITUDE BY THIS!

I need to ask you: would it be better if i would be angry like you? Would it help, if i run around angry? Would it help, if i start yelling at you, if i´m frustrated? No not at all.

So i did what i could do now against the german bureacracy and welp. I just can wait now.

Got a mail about this one Jobinterview. Missed the termin got a question if i want to have a other Interview. Said i´m not there around this time. Got the mail i don´t get the job.... after i had a interview (which i never had).
Nothing against my person, blah, blah.

I feel so goddamn overwhelmed, and it's not anything but what I've done to myself. I'm half-way through a six-day work week (which isn't unusual), but I'm working all nights, which is unusual. Working nights isn't so bad, but then I have a tendency to sleep the day away and I have several assignments I would like to complete before the due date so I have time for other things.

The 17th I have to give a presentation a stranger wrote for me and I have to make it feel natural, and I also have an essay due, but I just finished it. The 19th I have to correct 20 press releases and make sure they are actually fit for press, the 21-23 I will be across the country while the corporation I work for thinks it would be great fun to demand all the photo labs host a free photo shoot for children's Halloween costumes (with what resources??? They didn't send us a bench or backdrop, and we must use our own personal cameras). On the 24th a stranger has to give a presentation that I wrote for them, as well as my advertising midterm, and my advertising campaign for is due for presentation on the 30th. November 4-5 I will be gone again for family time and the 11-12 I'm running guest liaisons at a convention and I'm hosting a panel, and I need to finish two cosplay because my current ones are not fit for winter.

So all the paperwork and nonsense I'm trying to get done tonight (I'm about 10% of the way through) and I'm already exhausted. But work is work and it must be done, so I'm going to cowgirl-up and do it.

The above is one of the many sounds I was making while molding today's mask. I fucking HATE making noses. I really, really do. Friday better turn out absolutely great when he's finished, or I will just be mad that I went to so much effort.

Also, I don't think people like my serious writing style. At all. I knew I should have just gone with the ridiculous derpy stuff I used to write in high school. It's godawful, and I hadn't even heard of subtext or satire, or anything even remotely literary, but it makes people laugh. No offense to chan members, of course (I know they aren't all like this, after all), but it seems like many of them just want to read, and not to think about what they read, and that makes me sad, because that's all I ever do, is think.

Bad stuff first to get them out of the way:

I really, really hate it when blood gushes out of me every time I sneeze. That one's spoiler-tagged because it's kind of... kind of TMI in an unsavory way?

Haven't needed Ativan for so long that I don't know where the pill bottle is, but started having minor panic attacks the last couple days and would like to be able to take it again so that my chest doesn't hurt all the time. If I don't caffeinate myself, then I get asthma chest pains, but too much caffeine helps set off the physical symptoms that correspond to my panic attacks, so I'm also leery of that... ugh.

And of course I have weird unfounded guilt issues where I feel bad about things I logically know I have no business feeling guilt over because no rational person would ever blame me for them. But because I can't fix everything, I heap abuse on myself... sigh.

BUT THE GOOD FEELINGS NOW! TO WASH AWAY THE TASTE OF MY ANGST!

Sweeney Todd just opened over at the community theatre! Our season tickets are for the first Saturday, so my mom and I had a lovely time.

When she was in college, both her sisters went to see a performance, and then went back several times, and when they described the show to her, she was baffled as to why they liked it and why they thought she would, but of course, Sondheim, and every aspect of the show was excellent, so she did love it, if not as much as I did.

(Also, the Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett were a RL married couple, so for all the messed up-edness of the characters, it's quite cute seeing them together after the show, and they both have FANTASTIC voices. She was Marguerite when we went to see The Scarlet Pimpernel and decided we had to get season tickets. The actor playing Toby had been the same guy who played her brother in Pimpernel, which amused me. And then it turned out that a friend of mine was running the spot and was in charge of bringing the big red lights up at all the crucial moments. So it was nice seeing her again, and I found out she goes to my mom's church!)

And, while not perhaps so exciting as live theatre, Duck Soup was 50% off at Barnes and Noble's today (60% off, us being members...), so I got one of my all-time favourite movies. Haven't had it since we had it on VHS... and we got rid of most of our tapes so long ago.

And the cats have been quite sweet and silly lately. So all in all, I'm feeling like the good is balancing the bad out pretty well.

There is nothing BETTER in the world than to have someone where you can write a SMS to and you know he CARES about you. (Even if it is just slighlty.)
Friday which was a bad day was a perfect example of this. (Streetrains coming to late, missing train, cranky athmosphere at home, not getting through to my mum despise me trying all three numbers, people who are just acting stupid and i don´t give a shit about other people and stupid guys which are talking to the side to me remembering me how much i despise them FOR FUCKS SAKE IT`S THE FRIGGING PAVEMENT! IT`S FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING! THERE WAS NO BIKEWAY THERE! I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO WALKED TOWARDS YOU! WELL I WAS THE ONLY PERSON THAN THERE AT ALL! AND I NEED TO GO OUT YOUR WAY? YOU GODDAMN CAN DRIVE AROUND ME! AND FOR CHRISTSAKE AFTER THE TRAFFICRULES YOU NEED TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, YOU STUPID MORON! YOU DIDN`T EVEN RANG YOUR STUPID BELL! Oh yeah, how much i love the bicycledrivers. They never ring the bell.

Well it all ended up that i did have one free hour. I couldn´t believe how much it lifts the spirit than to look for presents for someone and thinking about what he would like and what not.

It´s HARD and can be a bit frustrating.

I'm sorry about that, man. girl issues are always the worst. I know it's probably not going to do much to make you feel better right now, but love comes in all kinds of places, alright? Maybe that door closed, but it might have made another door open for you. There's no telling.

Also, it'd be really wise to stop telling yourself, "This year is the year I finally get a girlfriend!" because it's something that has a large amount of chance that you just can't control. The attitude is great, but I feel like you might be setting yourself up for disappointment, is all. What I think you should do is keep your eyes open, and your heart ready, but don't rush into anything too fast, because chances are, you'll regret it later on down the line.

I have no idea if this helped or not, but I felt like you needed SOMEONE to talk to. Good luck with everything, man - seriously.

Dancefag again.

So I got in a car accident. And that shit was SCARY.

I wasn't driving, my friend was. He was going about 35 (picking up speed) on the road while we had the right of way (green light and everything), when some faggot decides he can't wait two seconds for us to pass and makes an illegal turn onto our side of the road. We T-Boned him as a result.

No one was seriously hurt (I was hurt the most and had very, very minor injuries). A cop car was passing as this happened (saw the whole thing likely) so we had help pretty much immediately. During the impact I was jerked forward and the seatbelt hurt my collarbone and chest, so I went to the hospital to get an xray (mostly just some bruising and pulled muscles). The front of the car we were in was trashed, and the assclown on the other end had his tire blown off and the side all messed up. He got a court summons.

While waiting in the ER (lol hospitals) I updated my Facebook status describing what happened, I called the driver of the other car a faggot, and as a result got this long winded reply from my step-sister about how that term is offensive and how I shouldn't use it.

Really? Girl, I was in a fucking car accident, in physical pain, and strung out and nervous. I'm going to be a bit upset and not concerned with what insults I'm throwing out. She's super into LGBT issues (which I respect), and I know why it's offensive, but come on. My lesbian friend of all people wasn't even offended (stepsister is straight).

Worst of all, we were on our way to a halloween-themed dance and didn't get to go as a result. I mad!

Remember my cat? The one we thought was dying and drove halfway across the country to be told she wasn't?

Yeah, she's dying again. For real.

My housemates tell me to go home and see her, but I don't think I want to. I said everything I needed to the first time around, I think it'd just make things worse. So I'm gonna stay here and soldier on. I'll be fine eventually but it's going to be hard work.
I'm really worried about my mum, actually. She's currently housebound following an op on her feet and I think it's going to be really hard on her. But there's not a damn thing I can do from here and I don't have time to go home and look after her.

And for you. Car accidents are pretty freaking scary and stressful even when everyone is fine.


Today I found a spider in what I thought was the last clean bowl in the house, so instead of having cereal, I had a small stress breakdown and couldn't eat breakfast at all. (arachnophobic)

Then tonight while I was drawing, one dropped down from the ceiling ONTO me. So, yeah, two spider day, not good. Panic attack turned into an asthma attack, and while I'd been getting pretty good about not screaming like a little girl when spiders appear near me, when this one dropped on me I couldn't help it, so then I felt bad about that kind of step backwards...

And a gnat landed in my nacho cheese at dinner rendering it inedible. So the spiders aren't even doing their job. At least my cat caught a moth... (also pretty freaked out by moths)

Then my 'net was out for a couple hours when I'd normally be writing/posting/looking at pictures of kittens to calm myself down post-spidering. But it's back now, so... better late than never.

As for trial-by-fire costume mistress this weekend:

Saturday went extremely well, everyone put their costumes back for once, aside from someone who had a "specialty" costume and forgot to put it on the specialty rack, instead put it back with the rest of the mens' costumes. Oh well, so I moved it, cleaned up the makeup areas, closed up the cast trailer really quick and we all went home.

Sunday was a little more trying. I decided I missed my corset, so another person laced me who isn't the one who usually does it and got me too tight, so I was lightheaded for a while until it loosened itself enough to a wearable tightness. We were shortstaffed so someone pulled twenty entirely new people out of the woodwork, so I got to outfit them all, and it wasn't hard at all. But of course the new people didn't put their costumes back where I pulled them from or clean up the makeup when they were done with it, so it took me an extra fifteen minutes to tidy the trailer before we went out afterwards. Going out was nice, I was on the quieter end of the giant table they gave us, and the techies sat with us for once. We decided to have cast get-togethers over the course of the year so we keep our cameraderie up and can introduce new people in before the season starts, and apparently I'm going to be doing a cake for all of them.

tl;dr For my first experience being a costume mistress for a theatrical company, I didn't suck.

My mother decided she wanted to be a geisha for halloween. Sure, mom, you can borrow my crappy-ass polyester tourist kimono, that's fine. Oh, and wear that pink silk robe under it, but we'll have to put some interfacing on the collar to get it stiff. But then you'll be more of a maiko than a geisha... oh well, it's not like you really know the difference. No, I'm not talking about Memoirs of a Geisha, that movie sucked, mom.

But no, mom, I am not letting you just throw your hair up into a bun, go whiteface and hope for the best, that's not how I roll. We are going out after dinner tonight, picking up a $10 wig I can style into a mostly-accurate maiko style, and going to AC Moore to get fake flowers for some kanzashi because I don't have the time to fold them out of scrap fabric. That, and I refuse to let her leave the house that morning until I do her makeup right and make sure the wig is on right.

You see, my mom was a geisha for Halloween one year when my brother was small. She made a terribly inaccurate (like, McCall's pattern inaccurate if anyone who's familiar with them is reading this) kimono out of garish fabric, matched the obi to the fabric, got a shitty-ass wig and went whiteface. It scared my brother.

Not this time, mom, you're getting as accurate as I can get you. Or at least I can bullshit accuracy.

tl;dr Mom is being a geisha for Halloween and I refuse to let her be anything more than 50% inaccurate.

Two feelings today.

One- These props are kicking my ass. I have to call around to all the high schools and the historical buildings and settlements around the province, to see if they have any props we can use. It should NOT be this hard to find an old-looking wooden stool. Seriously.

Two- Why is it that, when there are several people who enjoy my story, the ONE that repeatedly comments saying they dislike it and see nothing but problems makes me wanna just slit my wrists and jump into the falls? I keep having the same problem with this play. The director can praise me for a thousand things, but if he dislikes even ONE little teeny thing, it makes me hate myself all the more and want to crawl into a hole and die.

I don't understand. I had a perfectly normal childhood, and life, really. No abuse, no neglect, no nothing. By all accounts I should be a normal, mentally healthy adult. But here I am, a self-hating self-conscious sociophobe, who starts crying inside when people don't like things she puts effort into.
Feels bad, man. I'm gonna go make some more paper mache. Maybe if I finish another mask, I'll feel better.

MonsterSpy is not feeling well; MonsterSpy just pulled two 13 hour days at the gallery moving shit, and hoped that the next few days would be quiet but she's been working from home (which is less pajamas and masturbation then one would have hoped) and running back and forth from Manhattan while the boss is away in another state.

And on a conscious level I realize that (and thank you, by the way), but for some reason, that nagging 'You're no good, you fail at life' feeling is always in the back of my mind, and any sort of criticism just brings it out more. And it's weird because I'm not OCD about ANYTHING else. Literally. Washing my hands, cleaning, making lists- nothing in my behaviour would suggest OCD, aside from this one little thing, and even it makes me sound more schizotypal than anything.

Bitch you ain't crazy. Perhaps you just have a need to be validated by the praise of others, which is pretty damn common. Praise validates you, therefore outright criticism deconstructs you. Again, this is not indicative of any sort of abnormal mental state or upbringing, it just sort of happens.

I can dig that, I was like that for a long time until I realized I could not please all the people all the time; it took the better part of two decades to realize this thanks to my wildly abusive mother, but that's another ball of wax.

Maybe my parents praised me too much as a kid or something (I am an only child, and I was horribly spoiled, so it would make sense), and now that it's gone away, something in me just doesn't feel right anymore. Something misses the constant fawning.

I want to give up, but giving up is very hard and goes against my nature. Nothing I do, give, or sacrifice is damn good enough for anything. I gave everything I got and took great pride in doing so. I'm a very selfless person, but still people decide they no longer want shit to do with me and get rid of me at the drop of a hat, even after showing them nothing but upmost loyalty and respect.

Today my mom's church had their second anniversary of being a reconciling congregation-- one which makes it their mission to be not just tolerant of but openly welcoming and caring to LGBT members.

I felt this was a worthwhile thing, so while I normally cannot wake up early enough to go with her, I dragged myself up, had a lot of caffeine, and went, because crap, if more churches were like that, world would be a better place.

Everyone there, genuinely nice. Plus, I have friends from theatre in the congregation, and got to chat with one of them a little.

Downside? Massive amount of people, which leads to me coming over all shaky and panicky. I mean, great that they're all warm sweet people, but when I get to that point... So yeah, I had a bit of an over-socialization anxiety attack, but there was a nice mediation garden-type area where I could cool down.

I am looking forward to their Hallowe'en carnival, because even though it will no doubt be very full of people, I will be wearing a costume, which makes me instantly a million times better at dealing with other human beings. And, since I'll be Harpo, if I go pre-verbal from social stress, I can just play up the 'can't talk, in character' thing, I guess. It's better than getting all dressed up and then sitting in my living room being depressed because I have no place to be...

Hopefully at least one of my theatre friends will be there. I mean, ideally, both of them.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the costume contest. Trying not to get sick tonight because I have a dental appointment tomorrow. One of my old fillings fell out (figured I'd put that under a spoiler tag for other people who are triggery about tooth stuff.

>So many drunk people came through and were disruptive, one of them destroyed the effect in one of our rooms, I hope he has to pay for it even though it's already fixed, that's a $4,000 effect

Last night was OK, I was in a behind-the-scenes spot where I didn't have to talk to anyone (which, in hindsight, they probably should've given it to someone who lost their voice, but I guess it's just because I'm quick with it and they know that I've worked nearly every room in the house over the years) but now for some reason I've got a scratchy frog in my throat.

Why don't all my dress patterns use princess seams? They're so much easier than darts, in my opinion.

My pattern didn't go up to my size though, so I had to add in an extra panel in the back. Oh well, I'm just adding ruffles to make it bustle-y. I also plan on shirring it, but I've also never done that before, so it's a work in progress.

I'm excited to see it done soon though, because I feel like the fabric is really cool, and the dress as a whole is gonna kick ass.

I just finished making a dress, my best one to date with two things that I've never done before, so I was excited to post about it on Facebook.

I log on to see that my friend posted a status about my aunt. She's only been fighting cancer for a couple years, they took out a tumor a little more than a month ago but the cancer spread to her organs. They gave her five months to live, and she just passed away.

I'm not sure whether I'm angry at the gods for taking her away so early or thankful for cutting her fight short.

I haven't posted in this new thread yet, I don't think, mainly because I've been too exhausted to conjure anything other than misery and an unwillingness to type it out.
But I'm fucking bored tonight, so here goes.
My best friend and I got into a stupid argument over facebook. Namely, her deleting her account because all her friends deleted theirs and she's decided she's too cool for facebook because she's a sheep and all her other friends did it first. It's hard for me to get ahold of her in the first place because of my work schedule (which isn't all that complicated, since during the week I work straight days, 8-4:30. Don't see what's so difficult about that, but for whatever reason she always calls when I'm at work.) and her school/homework load, and then she doesn't understand why I'm upset when she cuts off one more mode of communication between us. For whatever reason, msn never sends offline messages from my account and she never checks her email, so what else am I supposed to do? Facebook was the only place I had when I needed to shoot her a quick 'hey brabe - call me at 5 tonight if you're free' message. She also won't admit that since she deleted it, we've spoken less and less to eachother.
On top of that, she expressed irritance in the fact that I've got a negative attitude towards everything and she says she tired of hearing about how bored and depressed and angry I am with my life. So I stopped. Just stopped. Didn't stop being mad or sad like she expected me to, just stopped telling her about it. Meanwhile, whenever she's mad or sad or whatever, she'll ramble at me about it and I'm not allowed to do the same in return.
Whatever. So now she's fine, whatever, having the time of her life in a big city, making all her dreams come true, spending all the time with people far cooler than me, but I'm here, festering in my own depression and just wishing I didn't have to wake up another morning and go to work. Or just not wake up entirely, that could work, too.
I don't think I'm suicidal, but I do wish I was dead sometimes. Like while I'm alive no-one gives a fuck, and no one appreciates the things I do that are a burden to me but make their lives easier. But maybe if I was dead, people would? Like maybe there'd be a gap in peoples' lives, less laundry getting done at my house, one empty spot on the line at work, one less person online on msn.
It wouldn't do me any good, but I don't know, just seems like it's all I can think about.

Feeling a bit frustrated and disgusted with myself. After getting a lecture from my dad about how difficult it'd be to live in the real world, because the situation at home is going to change "a lot sooner than you think" (this started because of my mediocre performance in college thus far). So after searching for local jobs, I find a part-time job as a library assistant that pays $11/hr; I find out almost immediatly after that it conflicts with ONE day of ONE of my inflexible college classes. I'm lying in bed (I have a habit of procrastinating/getting so overwhelmed I just shut down) when I decide "fuck feeling sorry for myself. I'm doing to do some math shit, then feel sorry for myself". Failed the first attempt on a math quiz (as in, answered nothing because I could not figure out how to work through the particular problems). My math notes do jack shit to help, because I'm terrible about taking notes.
...Eh, I'll stick with homework for a while... Free redos, you can ask for help (and the program is, surprisingly, very helpful) and the highest grade is the one that's accepted. However, I'm pretty sure I've got a history test today and a debate group to get in contact with, and I'm just done. I'm not even feeling that well today, fucking sinus infection and whatever-the-hell's-going-on-with-my-stomach. On top of all that, I can't talk to any of my friends; they've actually got bigger issues on their plates, some of which they might not be able to fix (but they've stopped talking to me about problems anyway, so I feel... useless. Like I always do, and now, whenever we all get together, it's like this bubble of denial and sunshine where no one acknowleges that there are any problems ever and it's just wasting time none of us really have anymore).

Sorry for whining so much, by the way. This really is shit I can sort out myself, I just needed to vent somewhere.

So apparently my back hurts like hell because of stress. I've had a panic attack this morning, and depression struck again (for the last four days, I had trouble motivating myself to even go out, it's rarely happened in the past 10 years, I thought that I was over it), and my parents didn't help by sending me on a guilt trip. I really want to study, but I doubt that I'll be able to keep up. I want to quit, take a break, or few courses to prepare myself, but I've gotten this far, and a lot of money goes in for these studies, and aghhh.

Idk anymore, I'm gonna meet with dean's assistant tomorrow and talk about it. And I thought that I was finally getting somewhere...

I'm pissed and lost feeling.

For 8 years I've been told I had a brain tumor. None of my doctors bothered to tell me that the symptoms vanished after 2 years and have since been linked to a previous medications.

Over the last 6 years when I had no symptoms my doctors have sent me for MRIs and put me on meds for a tumor I apparently never had and that no one told me I never had.

I'm pissed, I structured my life for 8 years on what I was told I wouldn't be able to do, on possibly dying pretty young. I structured who I am on a lie and I am pissed.

I want to know why, out of 3 doctors, no one bothered to look at the fucking blood work and tell me why they continued to book scans. I'm just so fucking pissed and so fucking lost.

Thanks for the kind words. I apprecaite them more than you probabvly think.
Relating to last night, I cut myself for the first time ever. I didn't want to die, I was just overwhelmed with hatred for my life and myself. Everyone I tried to get ahold of to talk about it with was unresponsive and I felt hopeless.
I felt immense guilt about it afterwards, and it was a generally awkward experience and I hope never to do it again. I'm embarrassed to tell anyone irl about it, because it's so stupid and angsty-teenager, so I just say my dog ripped my arm up.

I've been struggling with a situation that pretty much pulled the rug out from under my feet and it's taking a toll on my emotions and health. I'll be okay one second, but reading or seeing something just triggers all these negative emotions. I've been doing a lot better, but realizing that this situation has hurt another a lot has just reignited all of my frustration and anger. These people have been so careless and inconsiderate and, after their poor decisions, I'm wondering if I can honestly regard them with the same respect I had given them prior to this.

Okay, even though I'm currently staying away from the feelings thread, I have to comment on this. Stubs, you are a bro and a really cool person. Never forget that. Life loves to throw shit at us and challenge us all the time, but the key is not to give up. Vent, cry, seek help, whatever. But don't give up. You are awesome and life can be awesome as well.

I'm going through the same shit currently, I know where you're coming from. It blows hardcore. But we can do this, I tell you. You and me both.
Try to do something with your energy, even if it's just going out for a powerwalk or some situps. Do stuff in the household. Draw or write something silly without any kind of quality level.

You and all the other depressed people on here should refer to some of the ideas on the attached picture. As hard as it is to muster up some energy to do these things, they are worth the try, believe me. They obviously won't magically fix your issues, but they could make you feel better about your situation and yourself and that alone is worth the shot because ALL of you deserve to feel good!

Here's hoping you feel better soon. You're in my thoughts, man.

Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I have a really huge crush on one of my guy friends. He's gay, but biromantic, but he says bodies don't matter to him and that it's all in the mindset (i.e. he's dated transguys and is one himself.) I'm genderqueer but I associate a bit more heavily with females so I don't know what to take from that.

I also have a wonderful girlfriend that I love more than anything, but she's in another country. We fully admit to each other when we have crushes on someone else (we're open to the idea of threeway relationships, and have liked the same person a few times). But she's completely cisgendered female, so there's no way he'd date both of us.

I don't even know what I want. I don't want to break up with my girlfriend, I couldn't. I love her. But I want him. But he likes someone else and I don't think he'd ever like me anyway. I just.. really really like him. I'd never cheat on my girl, not ever, but I just... WANT him, I want to kiss him and cuddle him and all these things that I can't do because I have a girlfriend and I can't do those things to her either and it all just kind of really hurts.

Okay, take a breather and calm down.
Listen.

We all want positive responses from our peers for what we do and put our heart into. Recognition is what makes the world go 'round. But the question is: Do you rely on recognition from others? Are you not able to feel happy about your accomplishments without it? If you can answer this with yes, you should take a step back and think your situation over.

Writing is something all of us fanfic people do for a hobby - It's something fun to pass the time with, it's creative and lets us fulfill fantasies and ideas we can't easily experience in real life. You seem to be taking it way more seriously than is healthy if you consider it to be a contest rather than a nice passtime.

Look, man. First and foremost, you should learn to be happy with your work yourself. Appreciate your talents, embrace your strenghts! You have them, believe me. Make sure writing is actually a progress you enjoy, not just something you do to get pats on the shoulder. Once it becomes a chore, something that emotionally taxes you for whatever reason, you should maybe take a break.

Furthermore:
Enjoyment can't be measured in the amount of comments someone gets. People love what you write, plain and simple. That's amazing and you should feel amazing! You make people's days brighter with your story updates. It doesn't matter if you have one story or twelve or if you have one fan or hundreds. You should enjoy what you do and if someone on top of that enjoys it as well, you can already be goddamn proud of yourself - Rightfully so!

TwoRefined, both you and Anne are great writers that entertain the chan with kickass writing. Stop thinking in quantity and think in fun! Keep writing because you love it and because you are a hardcore, awesome, badass, brotastic writer. You are great and should feel great. Don't let your talent go to waste by holding yourself up with jealousy and selfloathing.
>> US No. 10483
>>10482
Awww, Perry you didn't need to do that. Like I said, it wasn't completely serious - I don't want people to think their comments don't matter to me unless I have more than so-and-so.

It's just that I've been going through a major slump and I wish I could get back on track and Anne has kind of become the best example of what I wish I could be accomplishing right now instead of sitting on my ass and feeling sorry for myself.

Truth be told, I don't think writing will ever just be a "fun past time" for me. The sad truth is that I take it uber-4-srs. I obsess over it. I'm always thinking about how I could write this better or organize that sentence structure better, etc etc. It really does mean a LOT to me, and since Breaking Point is kind of my current "I'M SO PROUD OF THIS - IT IS MY BABY" project, a lot of how I feel I'm growing as a writer will be linked to how well I perceive I'm doing on it.

But for right now, I'm kind of being plagued by lack of motivation, and it literally HURTS. I'll spend all day on the freaking thing only to delete most, if not all of what I've done, and then I'll get migraines and my bones will start to ache, and I just feel so SAD because I can't stop THINKING about it and I have a STORY and I want to share that story with the WORLD, but I CAN'T FUCKING PUT IT ON PAPER WRYYY.

Ahem.

But, breaking off of that tangent, I want to make it clear again that I have no feelings of ill will towards Anne. I see her more as friendly competition and I really admire her productivity (admittedly sometimes to the point of jealousy), but that's about it. I don't think I'm any lower than her - it's just sometimes I wish I had certain qualities of her or that I could just do SOMETHING, fuuuuck.

I know I sound like a crazy person - I probably am - I FEEL crazy, but no one's really at fault for that than my own psycho-brain. I do love what I write and I love writing - it's just that when I CAN'T write and I REALLY GODDAMN WANT TO that I start falling apart and crap.

Buuuh, now I'm crying and shit like a real frickin' moron. Brb as I take a nap. Maybe that'll hhelp me be less crazy who knows.

Oh, I didn't think you were being a drama queen or something of the sort! No worries.
But it's fact that you posted something like this more than once on the feelings thread and it seemed to bother you in some way, and since I'm one of those people who can't stop trying to help and making people happy (hence why I should actually stay away from this thread at the moment, got too much stuff on my plate - silly Perry!) I wanted to comment. Sorry if it wasn't appropriate!

Oooh, writer's block. We've all been there, hoo boy. Here are some helpful ideas that might improve your situation: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2011/07/19/25-ways-to-defeat-the-dreaded-writers-block/

Writing is your passion, and that's awesome! But as you said yourself: You obsess over it. Your own insecurites are your biggest weakness! You got talent, you got ideas, you have it all. It's your own fear of doing wrong and your own pressuring that causes the issues, it seems. Try to have something else, a different hobby or whatever, that you can blow energy on without any kind of expectations. Something that cleans your mind and gives you some focus without needing to fulfill standards. I for one have found workout, household duties and simple videogames to be helpful, but those are just some of the possibilities.

My point still stands: Your selfloathing and stressing is what holds back your talents! Try to gradually develop a better attitude with taking up ways to vent and let out your frustrations, do things that make you feel accomplished easily, remind yourself that you are awesome and should feel awesome. You deserve a healthier attitude towards yourself and your work.

Keep going, bro!

Jesus fucking Christ, I need to move out, I hate this district.

When I was walking from the tram today I saw a bunch of 4th(-5th?) graders kicking the fence. I thought that they were trying to scare a dog or a cat or something like that, and I was too far away to do anything yet, and people were passing by them and ignoring that, and finally some old man told them to scram.

When I got there, there was a dead cat near the other side of the fence, probably got hit by a car and was moved there by someone, and they were kicking it and grinning then and after they were scolded, stuffing their stupid faces with chips.

I had to restrain myself both from crying over the cat and their behavior, and from thinking how neat their brains (doubt they have any tho, not literally of course) would look like, all beaten to a pulp on the sidewalk. If only I had more strength, I wouldn’t hesitate to at least beat them.

I’m really worried for the future of our civilization.

Woo! High-five!

Tomorrow I do my weekly weigh in... Never look forward to it the day after potluck night... I mean, I don't need to be thin, but my dad died too young from what was likely a heart attack, so I really just want to get healthy.

Spent evening being awkward. Realized way too late what day it was after sleeping in with a killer headache, did not have time to both shower and get all the stats ready for D&D. Chose stats because the guys were looking forward to getting to the actual battle. So, felt gross and unpretty around crushworthy D&D group guy.

I feel so high school over him, it's ridiculous. I'm not 'in love' with him, but it is kind of nice to know somebody I would date, but don't totally destroy myself over... and I don't know that nothing can ever happen with him, so...

I don't know, though. As I've said, we're both so socially awkward that it is kind of impossible to know whether or not we're flirting at any given moment. But he's a straight guy who is not totally put off by my slash habit...

Okay, okay, done talking about my weird not-a-love-life.

(unrelated, saw a little black cat outside Taco Bell. Total cutie, and it seems like a good place to hang out if you're a stray cat... you can eat thrown out half-eaten tacos and any vermin that are attracted to thrown out half-eaten tacos...

It is me again.

I keep shifting between depression and relative normalcy. In the normalcy, I keep reminding myself how my mother worked for 5 years to get my father to see her as more than just a friend, so that is acting as my motivation. I can be patient and take my time. I waited 2 years before telling her how I felt, as a combination of 3 of her boyfriends, my own cowardace, and waiting to confirm that it was not a fleeting crush, prevented earlier action. I will wait for her to break up with this new guy. If she does not, then I will be happy for her. If she does, hopefully she will take me. But in the meantime, every time she mentions him, it is like a stab in the heart. I am not saying I am not open to the possibility of someone new coming into my life, but so far everyone else has been boring. There are currently 2 people that I actually enjoy spending prolonged amounts of time with, one is her, and the other is a guy and I am not gay. For the most part, I think I am handling the situation better than I originally was, but it is still painful.

I miss going to potlucks. D:

I love those small, encouraging moments about my health. I'm so used to everyone else in my family being better or worse than I am, so i'm usually beating myself up/worrying about outcomes. I donated blood (hate needles, never again), and they told me that I have great blood pressure/iron levels. I'm only 20, but my dad has always had horrible cholesterol (just a genetic thing), so I was feeling scared about it.

Don't worry, we just got it two days ago down here in Pennsey, and it screwed everything up. I had to take three days' paycut this weekend because my haunted house couldn't open due to weather.

So, as for dressing my mom up as a maiko this morning:
>wig is badass and will hopefully stay on her head
>kimono is inaccurate, but nobody at her job will notice just how inaccurate because they're all ignorant
>obi is too short to tie a real darari knot, so quick bullshitting to the rescue

Is it wrong that I felt terrible every time I threw a safety pin in that mess to make sure it stayed up on her? My mom is a very curvaceous woman, and the obi wanted to buckle instead of stay up.

So now all I have to do today is shower, trim my wig, babysit, paint Big Macintosh's cutie mark on a Tshirt for my brother, make fiance's Link hat, and babysit.

Sorry that i just can now answer you now, but i didn´t checked the chan for the last days.

Anyway, i´m glad that you don´t have the tumor and that you now finaly can start to create your life like you want. That doctors do sometimes mistakes, which can fuck up your life is sadly known already in my family so you have all my sympathy. Anyway i wish you luck now and that you soon will forget the anger and feel the joy by finaly making the things you ever wanted to do but thought you can´t. Your a nice person so far i know and i was really sad to hear about your problem as we once did "meet" and couldn´t do anything about it. Wish you luck for all future projects.

Oh what´s that? People asking me how i am? well after i had yesterday a .. weird encounter on the Mancaboose were i had a rather childish fit (seems like i´m not that great by handling a really emotional day and a coming flu with noting fever now.) and left the server i feel rather better after some sleep.

Don´t think like this. These failures you had until now were, because you BELIEVED for years you had a tumor therefore that you can´t make it.

It is said that believing in something can move mountains, so why shouldn´t be the opposite be possible, too?

You were told all these years you couldn´t make it and you believed it yourself because the odds were just to big. Which did need to lead that you failed in so many things by this thinking.

I don´t say it´s like a sudden change and that you will from one day to a other have sudden success in everything. All i say is that now you can look in the mirror and tell yourself: I can make it and there is nothing which can stop me, except myself!

Come on. There is surely something which you thought you can never make, because of the tumor, which now you can start slowly to realize. Work on it, baby, because now the world can buckle up if you decide to get full speed into life and to tackle it down.

Good! Can't have our favorite person going around being all hurt and stuff. Just no.

I've been feeling a little depressed lately, still. It started with writing, and bled over into other things, such as my relationship with my parents and how I'm doing at work.

I'm a little concerned about work, actually. Maybe you guys can give me some advice. This is my first job, of course, but I never expected it to be so exhausting - physically, and, strangely enough, emotionally. I'm a cashier, so I have to talk to a lot of people and be THE FUCKING PEPPIEST THING OUT OF EVER.

I do it pretty well, and customers really seem to like me, and I like the job, but it seems like I'm... using up all my spare happiness. I know it's weird to say, but after work, I just feel so drained and grumpy or depressed and I don't know why.

That, plus the number of hours I have to work (33 a week on aveerage, even though I'm a part-time hire... Is that unusual? I wasn't expecting that much, tbh), plus the fact that my mom's gotten me to pay some of the more minimal bills around the house (fair, but still more pressure) led to me actually kind of dreading work. I've ended up being late to work once and missing two days due to panic attacks I've had right before my 45 minute drive there.

I told my mom I was thinking about asking for less hours, but she gave me a huge long speech about how I have no other responsibilities and how this is the grown up world and stuff. I get that, but I never said I wanted to be an adult. I actually got this job mostly so that I could save up for a new, gaming-capable computer. I didn't mind helping pay some of the bills, I mean, it was only fair, but she's acting like this is what I'm going to be using to support myself for the rest of my life.

She then called my stepfather (who she's separated from) behind my back, and he sent me a text saying "What happened? I thought you said you were going to make me proud," which really sent me off the edge.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal for me to get up every morning and go to work. I'm not NOT doing it because i'm "lazy" or "bored with the job". I'm doing it because... somehow, I'm scared. I don't even know what of. I love my job, and I want to keep it, but I don't know what's happening, but I don't want to fail any more than I have already. I'd rather take less hours than to miss hours they've already scheduled me for, but is it a bad idea to ask my managers for that?

I don't know what do, u guys.

Okay, just you know my mum is kinda in that business too and it´s a HARD JOB with much hours for NOT MUCH MONEY sometimes. It really drains and can put people under much pressure. She even got a burn out from her job and didn´t recognize it until she went to the doctor who recognized her symptoms and her depression. She jsut went to him, because she thought she got kinda a flu.
So it´s not a unusual thing to feel so tired after work, because it´s called work for a reason, dear. Don´t feel bad about it.

No, average 33 hours isn´t unusual for parttime job. Sounds good to me even But what shall i know? I worked ever so long outta my free will that i worked out one day of holiyday for me duo all my overhours. I have the tendencie to be a workaholic

About the manager thing. I can´t say much about this. If he is nice and the work clima is rather relaxed where you work you should approach him and ask him. If not, let it be.

It used to be that part-time was 15-25 hours a week, but nowadays they give part-timers 30-38 on a regular basis because there are no full-timers. I see by your location flag that you are a fellow American - there are laws that apply to full-time employees that do not apply to part-time employees, so most retail locations ONLY hire part-timers and give them the maximum number of hours they possibly can without having to give them the benefits etc that are federally mandated for full-time employees.

If you're considered a good employee and you aren't in any trouble with the management it shouldn't hurt to ask for fewer hours. You might not actually be able to GET fewer hours, because retail places are usually understaffed and there's a pretty good chance they wouldn't be able to cut your hours without shuffling them onto other employees in such a way that it would put them over 40 hours a week, which must not in any case ever be done because then they'd be federally protected as full-time employees.

So, I know this is old business or whatever, but it was just in looking over the thread as a whole that I came up with something to say. Not so much a reply to the poster, but to anybody struggling with the same kind of feelings.

Bear with me, because I realize I'm about to sound stupid for a minute, but... You know the episode of the Simpsons where Homer wants to become an inventor, and he has a poster where he doesn't measure up against Thomas Edison, and then he sees Edison's poster of not-being-as-good-as-DaVinci?

It just occured to me that everybody's got a DaVinci. So if you (general you, since I guess the original post is a resolved thing) ever feel like you can't keep up with anybody, I don't know, imagine them wistfully trying to measure up to their hero and feel a sense of kinship, I guess.

It works for me sometimes.

Rei, why do you have to do this shit. You try to buy my friendship with shit I don't need, namely action figures. I do you a solid and draw you some thing and all you do is complain about how it's not up to your standards cause it doesn't have lesbians. I put up with you showing up to my art events when you don't draw and end up making the comic jam pages look like a 5 year old was there. I put up with you pissing of my 2 friends that drive when you follow me after said events and jump in their cars assuming you're getting a ride.

But really. FFS, you have no fucking right to be passive aggressive with me cause I don't want to see the Halloween screening of Ghostbusters with you. I told you I was busy, not that I wanted to go so stop bringing it up and while you're at it stop bringing up your comic script. I gave you 6 months to provide me ANYTHING to show you were serious about this and you did shit so go find some one else to draw it (good luck with that).

By the way, I did go to Ghostbusters, in the same theater, but I avoided you like the plague and spent the pre-movie adds listening to my BF tell me how they used to call you dumb-fuck behind your back for the exact same bull shit.

And yeah Rei, I get that you're trans and that's fine. I've no issue with it, but what I do take issue with is you thinking you're superior to me as a female because I subscribe to equality over feminism. Just because a male comic character says he's going to "pay your loved one a visit" when threatening another character does not mean he's alluding to rape and adding to "rape culture".

Fuck you Rei.

Plus it was quarter to ten, and my front porch lights were off. THAT MEANS GO AWAY, BOZOS.

I just found this short speech on TVTropes and I figured I should share. Whoever wrote this, thank you.

"You. I don't care who you are, what you look like, how old you are, where you're from, what you do for a living, what religion you are, your sexuality, your opinions, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE loves you and cares about you. Be it your friends, your family, or some random person on the street, there's always someone that wants to see you smile, even if it doesn't seem like it. Love and affection are present everywhere you look, and if you're considering hurting yourself, for the love of God, think about this before you do it. Even if nobody you know or met cares (and I guarantee that they do), there's a million people you've never met who don't want you to hurt yourself. I know I certainly don't. So go hug a kitten, pet a puppy, give someone flowers, tell a joke, be happy. Because you will never, ever be alone."

hi five, that's great!

I still don't go in the men's rooms if they're the kind with stalls. If it's a single bathroom with a locking door, I'll use the men's room, but I'm afraid to go in the multiple-stall kind. I know logically nobody's going to say anything or "out" me for having to sit down to piss (I ain't have one of them pissdick things yet) but I just ain't want to deal with it at all, you know? I'll just hold it or something.

I'm not fishing for pity or anything like that, I just bawled my eyes out today after a while and need to vent s bit more, since I don't think that I can cope with some situations on the level some people expect me to.

I haven't felt so strong about committing suicide in a long time.
It's like everything is against me again, the school I wanted to go so bad is, well, bad.
The only course that I'm interested in is 2D/3D animation, but it's not worth paying 1,2k, when everything else falls apart, simply because I have never worked with the programs they used before.

I mean, it can be good if you have tons of cash that you can spend on a 5 years program, but we currently don't have it. And we have to pay for this month even if I want to break the contract. Mother isn't helpful, saying that no one would hire me with 'that' attitude.

It's like, when we were living with my sister and now, this family was nothing but one big mess full of misunderstandings and constant quarrels. Well, I can't say that we didn't 'love' each other or support each other, but... idk, it's still feels flat especially now when I'm closer to the point when my parents can legally throw me out on the street.
And I can't imagine myself living on social money.

My school took my school money from the wrong account, the one I pay my living with, which means I got a big minus now. Damn. Of course both people responsbile for my bank stuff are currently not avaible and their replacement for the time being doesn't understand the way my bank stuff is handled. Wat.
Also, the customs office is pushing me around and my landlord is visiting soon to check things and (hopefully!) acknowledging that we need a proper air vent in the bathroom.

Goddamn, ALL THIS FUCKING STRESS. Only redeeming factor is that I got workout tomorrow again so I can blow off some steam there. Oh man.

VonHelton, a blogtv lolcow, recently scammed a cancer patient out of $1600. She heard he was with ought a job and with 3 kids so tried to do some good and hire him the only thing he said he'd do.

After 4 weeks he not finished the computer, the motherboard (cost $70 in a computer someone paid $1600 for) will not work and he won't replace it (even though all it needs is a BIOS flash) and he claims to have shipped it today via standard mail.

Now this to me is disgusting, He did this because she inquired about things like specs and his attitude withe her.

If I get her blessing I'm going to set up an auction via e-bay to try and raise this woman's money back/fund an attorney. Because this is just sick, what he's done to the one person who stepped up and tried to help him.

Feels good trying to right this and I hope she will allow me to sell my art and give the funds to her.

I am not used to this sadness. It just won't go away. I can't be happy for any significant amount of time anymore. All it takes is one song, one picture, one thought, one name, and it feels like there is a cold nothingness inside me. I don't like this. I can not function like this. I don't know what to do.

That "significant amount of time" is a bit exaggerated. I am not normally very happy anyway, but I am slipping into extreme sadness the likes of which I have rarely felt more and more often. It's like there is a very thin bubble surrounding these intense emotions that can be broken by one simple errant thought. And when it happens, it hits me like a frieght train. I keep sliding in and out of this sadness. This is all very confusing to me. I wish it would stop.

I have two tricks for you that have helped me when I was fighting awful thoughts. The first could be seen as a little self-inflicting, but I eventually altered the process. I would wear a rubber band and when ever I thought of something I wanted to forget, I would snap it. Eventually I began to associate that thought with the rubber band and once I quit wearing it, I quit being reminded of the thought and I was over it. The second is more of a meditation technique. I picture myself in a room or other safe place and I look out a window. I imagine whatever my problem is as a cloud and I watch it float on by. It helps to remind me that no matter what I'm going through, it won't last forever and I'm able to take it day by day.

In other news I just came out to friends and family tonight. I pussied out and did it over Facebook though. My boyfriend is supportive of me, even if it more or less means I'm not attracted to guys. I had been struggling with it for a few years and I'm glad my boyfriend has been there and he's for real my best friend in the world. Yay self-acceptance!

Hey mom, I know I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but you're not exactly helping my self esteem when you A) treat me like a 5 year old, B) call me mentally retarded, and C) threaten to put me in a home because I'm 24 and having difficulties getting a job. I realize you don't enjoy my company or like me living at home, and I know I screwed up college (you don't need to remind me every day about that, I'm well aware of my ruined chances at a better life), but I am doing the best I can, despite what you think.

I don't complain. I'm grateful you're letting me stay here rent-free. I do everything you ask without questioning you, and I'm happy to do it. I take care of your house and your pets without being asked. So please stop saying things like "you don't DO anything" or "why don't you pull your weight around here". Or you could just, you know, treat me like an adult. That's all I want.

The economy sucks, it's hard for a lot of people to get jobs. Could be worse, you could have a shit ton of loans from college and be too over qualified for half the jobs, not enough experience for the other half. Tell her a lot of people are having these problems. Also remind her of everything you HAVE done when she says you don't do anything. It's normal for a parents to have trouble seeing their kids as adults but a good mother would call their kids retarded or threaten to put them in a home. Which I doubt she would be able to do anyway.

It may came to a misunderstanding, because i refered sometimes not to this person, but to a other one on the server (Deploying Kritz). In fact i like this person, because this person was the only one taking the thankless job as beeing a medic for the team. I even apologise once to this person, because i couldn´t protect this person before a spy. (I fail as Soldier.)

wat
WHERE WAS I WHEN THIS HAPPENED?!

Basically, that means I have barely any recollection of said events, so consider yourself forgiven in full, lol.

Also, thanks for the compliments, been a tad down lately ("WRITE, SELF. WRIIITE. I HATE YOU FOREVER. /sob"), and it's nice to know some people still consider me a "cool cat".

Last but not least, don't worry about the Spy. I fail at protecting MYSELF, and you saw that heavy duty lag I was carting around. I probably would always blame myself for getting back-stabbed as a Medic, unless you were a Pyro and staring right at me as I was getting face-stabbed repeatedly. So don't sweat it. The only thing that's really a pet peeve of mine is when I'm healing a Soldier and they pull out the Equalizer / Rocket-Jump away. I MEAN SERIOUSLY GOOOD. Same for you, too, Sticky-jumping Demomen!

I'll stop ranting now.

In other news, I'm feeling a tad useless and just TIRED all the time. Work is really taking it out of me, AND I still haven't updated my story in a while, AND I never do anything - even hang out with my friends, AND my mom brought this dude into out house who I really am not fond of, and he's going to be staying for more than a week! (A few days have passed already.)

Maybe she sees him as the "son she wish she had" or whatever. Well, no, she's told me that he is. Jeez, thanks, mom. I won't get into what he's done in the past, but let's just say he disrespected my parents when they were trying to take care of him and he ended up getting kicked to the curb. My mom tried to get him out of Foster Care, and he was a total dick to her!

But she practically fucking OBSESSES over him and brought him into the house against my wishes, and I just feel like she doesn't care about what I say at all. I've taken to holing myself up in my room with granola bars, soda, and poptarts and only ever leave the room to take a whiz. Sometimes I wonder what it would take to have her love and appreciate me as much as she does him.

Before I start my morning chores, let me say something real quick:

I know the feeling of helplessness all too well. But believe me when I say that friendship and support isn't just about being able to give good advice or fix the issue at hand. Nobody is perfect, so your friend can't expect you to be a magic-fix-it-all. What he can expect however is your personal support and that's not worth ANY less than problemfixing help. It's always great to be able to lend a hand, but if you can't, you can still lend a shoulder. Your friend will appreciate it all the same.

Have a hug and keep truckin'! Be there for your friend if you can. Don't sweat it, just be a great friend. I know you are one.

I can't decide if my friends are awful people and I'm their punching bag or if they're really trying to help me but going about it in fucktarded ways.

I have cried four days in a row now because of things they said.

First instance was when a friend was having ab birthday. Nobody had been online and I thought they were all mad at me because I skipped a friend's birthday because he was turning 21 and I don't feel like being around drunk people. turns out the party was the day I asked and "Wow I am dumb"s were said and then I was asked why I skipped. I mentioned the not wanting to be around drunk people thing and threw in that the guy who was turning 21 had been nothing but a dickhole to me since he, another friend, and myself started working on costumes for a convention. He basically would make fun of me the way friends do every now and again. But it has persisted and is so constant that it no longer feels like joking.

Not even kidding, whenever I see this guy at school it's always: Hi, something mean that didn't need to be said, walk away. It gets old.

Now, I get why the friend I was talking to about this said "grow a pair and talk to him about it" because I do plan on doing so, but the fact that they said they didn't understand why I was getting upset at all and that I basically need to stop acting like a 6th grader is what really set me off. Maybe I am acting like a 6th grader, but the disregard for my feelings in this situation is what really irks me.

Now the next thing happened with regards to my friend's gaming channel. There's four "regular" people part of the team who record and stuff. I had asked (back when it was /announced/) if I could play the new Assassin's Creed when it came out for the channel. I was told yes, I got excited, moved on.

So I somehow got the game in the mail two days early. I don't know how, I'm not complaining. So I asked the friend who does most of the uploading, "When did you want me to record?" He then proceeded to tell me he did not feel like carting an Xbox around, how everybody has been asking him to record lately and it's getting annoying and no I don't want to deal with it.

He said this on a livestream, by the way, in front of two of our friends. One didn't really make any comments for a while and the other messaged me saying I should start my own channel if that's how it was going to be.

His gf talked to him later since, obviously if it pissed off two of our friends, it must be bad. He apparently said if anybody but the main four (keeping in mind he has let two other friends dick around in games and was just fine with it) wanted to record they'd have to pay him, plain and simple.

Now, this doesn't bother me because I didn't get to show off how bad I am at Assassin's Creed, it bothered me because I was excited to finally be included in something my friends were doing. I mean, nobody invites me over, nobody talks to me because nobody knows how to talk to each other and I literally spend my days holed up on my computer reading fics on here and laughing at stupid shit on youtube because I am just waiting for somebody to want to interact with me.

So the fact that I am being cut out once again is kind of sucky.

Girlfriend of gamer friend (who, by the way, was the first friend I mentioned) then proceeds to tell me everybody has been trying to be delicate with me lately because I seem so high strung, and because I am just so full of rage (which is joking about 90% of the time but nobody seems to get that).

What do you want me to fucking do? When have I seemed high strung or made lately? I'm mad right now, but that's because nobody is telling me anything other than what sounds like "Nobody wants to deal with you."

Then yesterday I spent most of the day in bed, crying of course, because I thought of how inconvenient I was to my friends and how much I just suck, and how if I didn't have a fear of death so bad I have panic attacks about it, I might have just tried something stupid. Because I am just sick of feeling like a useless sack of shit to everybody I know.

Then today, not even ten minutes ago, a friend told me this, out of the blue: "Listen Anon, I like you, and I consider you a pal. But lately, I've been worried. You are starting to remind me of [insert friend who fucked us all over here]. I don't want to see that happen. Lets kick it and have a chat sometime soon, eh?"

And now I'm sitting her crying and whining about it on tf2chan because I have spent all five of my years of being friends with these people trying my hardest to not turn into somebody to bitch and complain about or avoid, and especially not the one who made us all miserable.

And my own birthday party is in three days. Debating on cancelling it, because I don't want to potentially deal with them all pulling me aside and giving me a lecture on why I suck or why I need to fix myself.

So my mother basically gave me these options to think over:

- get over myself and my issues, though she damn well knows that I've been struggling with a lot of shit for the past 10 years, I'm just good at hiding it when around other people, and study (tho I'm 3 years apart when it comes to knowledge of some programs that I don't think I'll be able to include in the individual program)

- take meds (I've seen what antidepressants did to my friends, and I can't let myself get that overweight, it'll just worsen the situation) and go to the shrink, even tho I've tried a few of them before and it did jackshit, it's just a waste of money and time, because these are issues that I have to work out myself

- if I won't do anything about it, she's ready to throw me out of the flat. Thing is, we have two other flats, but the other one is currently being rented and the contract lasts for one more year, and the other flat which is technically mine, is now owned by my sister who's taking care of it and putting a lot of money to renovate it. So that'll make me homeless in less than a year.

- Get a job. Which is not easy, not with my state of mind and current economy.

Wat do.

I'm in an existential rut at the moment. Things have got worse since the beginning of the year and I'm sick of it. Everything bothers me too. Extinction of rhino, half hour of crying. Watching the end of Thumbelina, song makes me cry another half hour. Guy I want to reunite with not talking to me for months without a reason, 3 hours of crying in bed. I have no motivation like I want to, no passion for art like I want, all I want to do is watch TV and surf Reddit all day and night. I hate feeling like this.

I'll have to take you up on that, sometime.

Ever since I could remember, I would have one good friend at a time. I'd know and talk to other people, of course, but this one person I would be the one I would confide in my deepest secrets, share my ideas with, spend most of my time being around, look out for, and fight tooth and nail for. This pattern has gone on through the entirety of the two decades of my life I remember. I would lose these friends initially due to the frequent moving in my childhood, but even now with the internet, now it seems like I gain that friend due to fandom, and as soon as interest in that fandom wanes, so does the friendship. There's the overwhelming feeling one-sidedness. They say it's an Aries thing to wanting to be a friend's number one friend, and for me at least this is true. I go through the effort to make someone number one in my life but it seems like everyone I choose to do this with doesn't return the gesture, and it tears me apart. Why am I not getting what I give?

I'm getting tired of this cycle. I want to be able to have my one true friend. I'm tired of feeling worthless because a friendship is based around mutual interest and not geninue enjoyment of each others company for just being ourselves.

I know I'm a monster and all, but there's more to me than that. But since no one else can see it, maybe I'm just being delusional.

Aw, man. You're really breaking my hear now, man.

I can't promise that I'll be your number one friend forever and always (because who knows, right?), but I have a pretty good track record with keeping up with my friends, even if our interests have parted. One of my friends I've had since the beginning of 6th grade (about seven years ago), and even though we don't hang out like we used to, whenever we do, it's always a blast for the both of us.

In the meanwhile, though, back to you. You seem like you need someone to vent with and I'm you're man(?). Give me a call whenever you're ready.

things went even worse than i expected

tuesday night i invited some friends to come over and have some nice dinner, some nice talk and some nice wine afterwards. i actually surpassed myself and did a very nice entrée and baked apple for everyone for dessert. delicious stuff, i say. it was wonderful.
even the cheap wine tasted wonderful. time went by and we drank more and more wine and then i brought three bottles of wheat beer... and after that wine again.
i need to say im not used to drink wine and one bottle knocks me out already.
in the end we emptied 6 bottles of wine and 3 of beer. (there were three of us...) and i was so drunk. my friends left around 4am in the morning and i just wanted to sleep but i couldnt until it was 8am because of my incredible dry throat. my condition wasnt getting better during the day, i felt like i was overrun by a train (and was still drunk)
when i did the dishes i cut my left thumb with a knife, so deep, so fucking deep, it didnt stop bleeding for half an hour.
and today morning, while im writing this, i have no voice anymore, cough my lungs out and have little fever.

Wow, hold yourself on the old wisdom: Wenn man durcheinander drinkt, wird man schneller betrunken. (If you drink through different kinds you´re gonna be drunk sooner.) So don´t do it (especially if it involves cheap wine. Even good tasting cheap wine.) Best thing to do than is to drink juices afterwards to provide the body with the minerals and vitamins which he lost through the alcohol. Hope you feel better soon.

Ugh. Prepare for a big tl,dr dump of emotions.

So, everyone in the house has been sick. My mother (she of the still-supporting two-and-a-half of her three disabled adult children) never gets sick, so of course it hit her the worst. My brother doesn't have the flu, but he's got chronic fatigue, so I'm trying not to come down with the flu because if I get sick, he'll run himself into the ground taking care of everyone. I kind of had half a cold for a couple days, but I didn't get sick-sick.

Still, the stress, coupled with worrying about other people/the whole world has been getting to be a problem. Luckily, my mom had a friend who could drive her over to urgent care, and she doesn't have pneumonia as it turns out, but they gave her the full antibiotics course anyway so she's on the mend and we've been able to get out and buy groceries, and she's finally able to eat normal meals and nobody's vomiting in the living room anymore, but...

Yeah, I've had kind of a rough week. We had to cancel a trip into San Francisco that I was looking forward to (which is fine, I guess, because I spent my tourist money buying food and stuff for sick people, but it's still kind of disappointing), and I'm going to miss Frost/Nixon.

My mom wants me to call up a friend and take our season tickets without her. Partly because she doesn't want the tickets going to waste, partly because she really wants me to get out socially, but I am in such a poor place that I can't even email one of the friends I do have who still live in town to ask if they want to go see a play with me. I really hate being afraid to talk to my own friends, it's a crappy feeling, and I can't properly explain it to my mom. She knows as much about my social anxiety as anyone who's never experienced it can, it's just... I am way too stressed to talk to anyone or go anywhere on my own. I hate missing Frost/Nixon because I haven't seen it (I guess we can rent the movie, it's just not the same...), and because it'll be the second non-musical that a friend of ours is in.

Okay, short version- I feel like crap, and I feel like crap for feeling like crap, and I'm bad at verbalizing how crap-like I feel, but at least I haven't been as sick as anyone else in the house.

I'm sorry to hear the shit pile has landed squarely in front of you like this, and I hope it turns out well in the end, but I think I should pressure you into emailing a friend because it sounds like it may help you a bit in the long run, so...

You should email your friend and take the chance to have some fun time outside. I worry about a lot of people as well, and sometimes, we just need to be able to step out without thinking of them. They will be ok without yer thoughts on them for a while lass, so take advantage of this as best ya can.

Don't think about the email, just makie it short if need be "I have a ticket to this here at this time" and wing it out to the people you would like to take, first to reply goes with you. Do it quickly as ye can so you don't get second thoughts as you type it out, then when ye go ye can come back and tell us "Fuck that was great, woot woot!"

I went to Pure Spec this year, got to listen to the Pop Cap co-owner/creator, Jason Kapalka, in a panel. Since it was about indie games I was able to show a few local developers my work and give out my contacts.

I think I might have given a good impression since I asked Jason about his feelings on the mini version of Plants Vs. Zombies in WoW. Pop Cap apparently helped them do the programming on it and lent them a voice actor.

I won a silent auction for a print of the Tin Man from Wizard of OZ as Iron Man.

But I think my highlight for the day was manning the table. I out sold everyone else in my group by doing $10 sketches, and near the end of the day, when things had slowed down. The artist across the way came over and looked through my stuff and said I had real talent. That artist was Mike Sass, former head of Bioware's commercial art, who now does work for Magic the Gathering and WoW.

Feeling a lot better today, perhaps I can get some things accomplished. Though in the back of my mind, I am worried about a friend, but I hope things will turn out alright in the end, and by my own tenacity and the strength within me, I will make sure everything will be alright.

Leading is what I was born to do. Thoughout my entire life I've always been the one to stand up, lead, take challenges and make sacrifices. I've had my fair share of downs as well, but they have always strengthened me and forged a stronger heart in my chest. Though on the Internet, it's a very cruel and unforgiving place, and it has helped turn my heart into stone. On the Internet, even if you screw up once, you'll never be forgiven and people will always hang that screw up over your head like it's something that defines you. And thanks to a few certain people, that screw up still gets dangled over my head even after over eight months since it happened. To those people, I'm only going to them the all-American double middle-finger salute.

And no, asshole, I ain't going to stop administrating TF2chan simply because you're my friend and you disagree with it. Being my friend doesn't give you the right to try to force me out of my position like I have an obligation to do so. As far as I'm concerned, you're no longer my friend from all the bullshit you've been saying and stirring up.

Well this weekend sucked.

Saturday night, my dad was screaming in my mom's face louder than I've ever heard anyone scream in my life. She was crying and trying to talk to him and he just kept screaming. I can't get that sound out of my head. And, of course, now they're back to pretending it never happened, like they always do. I know my mom wants out of this but I don't really know what to do for her.

My ex-girlfriend came online the same night, and I went to say hi, since I hadn't seen her online all day and had been a little worried. Things didn't end badly between us; distance-related problems, and we'd agreed to stay friends. But when I said hi to her, her friend was on her account and started telling me off. In the middle of me already having a mini panic attack. I would've just gotten mad, but she started taking stabs at my gender, so I just sort of broke down.

My best friend/almost-boyfriend texted my ex girlfriend to see if she knew about someone else being on her account. Turns out she pretty much sent her friend after me, and then goes off on my best friend for asking nicely about it out of concern for her account. Apparently she blames him for "stealing me from her" or something. It's been a few weeks, and I admit that I have probably found a potential someone else a bit quickly, but it's not as if I'm bragging to her directly about it - which is what she's telling people I'm doing. In reality? She found out and now asks me extremely personal questions about the relationship. She asked if we had sex, and just told me to be honest with her, and all I said was "Do you really want to know the answer to that question right now, either way?" She then assumed the worst and lost her shit. And is now telling her friends that I bragged to her about getting laid.

So I spent the night at said almost-boyfriend's house last night to get away from my parents. It was the only highlight of my weekend. We get along incredibly; in some way that I can't even describe. I've never gotten along with anyone the way I get along with him, though, and I mean that on a friendship level as well.

Of course, when I left, I found that I'd gotten a parking ticket. The dork forgot to remind me that Monday is street sweeping day, on his street. Granted, he doesn't have a car, so I don't blame him for forgetting. Trying to dispute it, but I'll probably end up having to pay the $63.

All in all, besides him, I am feeling pretty lonely right now.

You, good Sir, are in my humble opinion a goddamn ASSHOLE. Yes. You are a selfloving arrogant PRICK.
You are not a FRIEND, you are more the guy everyone talks to just because you can buy their sympathy with presents. (Okay you gave me some games too, but i never asked for them and well they were free. I´m not better than everyone else.) If you have a problem and you come to one of us to talk it from your soul, we are there listen to it and try to help. What do you do? Comparing a big psychological serious problem to a tiny winy escapade from you with other friends.
I don´t like to be the badguy. I try to be all: Okay, guys. Yeah you are men don´t mind me if you are talking about your conquests in the bedroom. But this yesterday disgusted me greatly. Not even did you take out a situation which i tried to explain to you, not really serious, but you also insulted a nice friend of ours. A friend which you did hurt. She may be over it now that she got a nice boyfriend, but still back than it did hurt her. I thank god that you both didn´t became a couple and i hope you never get the chance to get your future-girlfriend/ex-girlfriend how you ever say. She deserves better than you. Even if you may said it in joke it was just the lowest of low for me. It didn´t help that all others in the chat seemed to agree with you, what good work you did than. I´m offended, disgusted and ashamed that i even considered once you as a nice guy. You are a absolutly slimy backstabbing bastard with no backbone on a high horse. And i know i´m going straight to hell for this, but i wish you get one bump in this road of live, so that you finaly realize that nothing is ever sugarcoated candyland.

Hey Teapot, there are two neuroactives that you can take that have been shown to be weight-neutral. One is duloxetine (Cymbalta) and the other is bupropion (Welbutrin). You don't have to put on the oodles of weight.

How am I feeling? Here we go. Three months ago I took a leap of faith and changed my life. New career, new mindset, new sleep patterns. All because if I didn't change things my health was going to keep going downhill in a big way. I miss being competent. I miss knowing what I'm doing. All those years of study, training, everything, now gone and wasted.

Another leap of faith. I tried writing something ficlike for the very first time in my life. And it was sketchy and disjointed and crap. And it stung to be condescended to as a know-nothing n00b. But some people liked it. I got lots of concrit, and started people thinking
ideas and treatments. And I think that's a win for me. At least, I'm holding on to that feeling of, "Yay! I made something interesting!"

Preparing to move out within the next few months! I'm really excited. This'll be my first time out on my own, save for a few long stays with friends and such. Moving out with my boyfriend to the area where I'm going to school. We both love the area, and he has nothing really tying him down, so we're headed out ASAP.

The original plan was to wait until the summer, so we wouldn't be moving in the middle of my winter semester or the holidays, but... Our home lives are getting increasingly worse. He lives with his parents and his ex. His parents are okay most of the time, save for his dad getting high in the house a lot. His ex is... not abusive, but kind of a jerk. He doesn't want to kick him out, because it'd leave him homeless. But it is hard on him.
My parents scream at each other far too often for my tastes. Last week they screamed at each other while standing in my room. Two feet away from me. They're forcing me to go to some family therapist on Wednesday (didn't check to see if I had plans first, by the way - I had to cancel a date). I really don't want to go but I've been kind of guilt tripped into it.

Pretty sure my parents think I'm moving out solely because of them fucking up. Albeit they were kind of the final blow, but I've wanted to move out for a lot of reasons for a while. They don't think I'm ready, even though I've been trying to move out for a couple of years and have done my research. Sure, I'll probably still fuck up something, but who doesn't when they move out for the first time? I gotta do it eventually.

All in all, really looking forward to it. Just gotta get a job. Thankfully I have a big inheritance to help with rent. My uncle is in charge of it for a couple more years, but he's willing to pay my rent from it since it's... "for my education", somehow. He hates my parents, so he's willing to safely get me out of the house however he can.

If I'm posting here its more of a public service announcement to all the poor fucks who have had the misfortune of talking to me: guess what? I need a fucking breather.

On to unmitigated, undeserved whining.

My mother dragged me out of bed today at 630 in the AM to let me have it. Over a half and hour of screaming that culminated in her calling me a fat, disgusting pig as I finally disgorged in the nearest trashcan.

The thing that cuts deepest is everything she had to say is absolutely correct. I get to be a fat, stupid failure while staring down the barrel of getting kicked out of the fucking house. I'm the most inconsiderate person she knows! Whoopee, we both win the prize!

Had a bit of a scare this evening. I was taking the dog out to go to the bathroom, and when I came back to the apartment, there was a guy creeping around the stairs. Scared the shit out of me, and I gave that bastard the biggest glare I could muster and he slinked off somewhere. My dad went out afterward and found that the guy was rummaging around the vacant apartment right across from us. Ever since the firefighters busted into it last week the door has been wide open and it was only a matter of time before unsavory folk started poking around in it.

Just strated getting over some weird sickness that had to do with me drinking too much water or something, was starting to feel pretty good. I've been a bit stressed,though, because I missed about 5 days being brought down by this thing, and I have a bunch of work to catch up on, as well as some new stuff that popped up.

And now it seems I'm having an allergic reaction to nothing. I'm just sitting here, staring at the antihistamine because I know it will fuck me up for the next 24 hours, but the hives aren't allowing me to sleep and are spreading. Sometimes it feels like my body doesn't want me to be happy.

Eh. Can't blame 'em.

But auditions for the next play cannot come soon enough. Because now I have literally nothing to do during the day. At least learning lines would help take my mind off how freaking inert my life is.

Goddamn I wish I had enough money to go back to school. No fucking idea where I'd go, but I can't even look at schools now, because I'll just get more depressed when I can't afford them. Plus I want to get my bilinguality before I apply, because I might go to a French theatre school I've been told about in Montreal.

In other news, my Secret Santa project is going quite well. Six pages already. No title, but some very interesting concepts. I think they will enjoy it. Hope they do. Hehe.

And finally I have a name for what's been plaguing me lately. Raynaud's syndrome. See, I've been sitting around at night, and all of a sudden, one or two of my toes will suddenly go all numb. Look down at them, and they're wax white. Turns out it's been this syndrome for a while, and it's likely come about from Magnesium deficiency, because that's what causes my muscle spasms too.
So at least now I know I haven't had a stroke or a pinched nerved, or anything like that. Common syndrome that happens to people in cold climates. Relief.

And my city is putting on a theatre festival like they do every year, and I might write up a short script and submit it. I feel good about this.

Than say it to her. Say, I´m okay if you don´t want to talk with me in the moment and all i want is to stay friends with you because your important to me as friend. And than leave her alone and in piece. Stop telling her you love her, stop telling her you may have still this hope, if she doesn´t want to hear it. And if you can´t really live without talking to her for a few days make out a date when you both will talk to each other again like... one month later. But really, don´t ever be the first to approach her. Look for some outside activities. Meet up with friends, go to a party, in the dicso ect., ect. TAKE A HUGE STEP BACK AWAY FROM HER and look around. Try to casual flirt with other girls. Try to be open.

No, you don´t have manic-depression it´s called HEARTBREAK. Enjoy it. Wallow in it. Imaginate yourself as the hero in a movie who got rejected of the "love of his life" and maybe will find a other girl who suits him better. Hear your favourite sad lovesongs and sing with it. Curse the day you meet her. Be a selfloving prick telling yourself: She will never know what she missed (don´t tell her that just tell it yourself). Cherrish the short time you both were together as pair. (Yes, i can remember me that you both tried it and she found out you aren´t this what she looks for)

Personally i need to ask you. What do you have except her? I mean you say never give up, never surrender became the motto of your life. It sounds like you made her the ONLY support you have.
Do you have other problems? Try to talk to someone. A other good friend of yours who maybe just knows you and not her. Try to get your thoughts together. Don´t be ashamed to feel weak. Just don´t give in to the dark thought and try to punch you through it (not literatly).

tl;dr: Man up. Have your pride. Don´t crawl ever to her. Relationship doesn´t mean to have a partner as only support in life or as purpose. It means that two persons share their lives as equals and to make it a bit better. And sometimes it happens that they make their lives better for the rest of their lives or just a short time.

Okay did you TRY to have other friends? Like interacting with people from work, school, ect. To just sometimes not to say later, if you got a invitation but to say`: Okay i will TRY to interact with them. Or even internet friends? A person which you like to once in a while to talk to? Try to speak to this person more often! Go out (or not in case of internet) and try to learn people to know better.
Why do people not seem to like you? Is it really you or is it just the impression you make? No one likes to hang out with a person who never makes the first step and is passive, acting like they don´t belong there.
Make a joke, smile, be polite and if you don´t feel like to go with these people to a party than make suggestions for something different. Invite people to hang out with you. Be it to go to the cinema or to have coffee together.
Everyone has friends and good friends. You should look for more friends.

Just a note: I said Don´t be ashamed to feel weak. Not in any circumstates ARE YOU WEAK! Just because you feel like it doesn´t mean you are it. It is ever hard to go through something like that. Just you know even if you feel like it, you aren´t the only one this happened before. And it´s okay to still have feelings for her. But try to get them weaker. This will need time, but ask yourself: Would it really work out? Would she really appreciate me like i appreciat her? Do i really love her? (See all the advices regarding selfloving prick i´m too good to waste my love on her, lovesongs, ect.)

For me it sounds more like you don´t get your life in the right order and just try to cling depseratly on this one person who was ever there, because you are afraid to try something new/think everything will magical become right through her. Did you ever try to approach a other girl? Be honest with you wasn´t there once a girl you started to like a bit, but never had the guts to talk to?

Jump over your shadow. See this as new beginning. Kiss your old self goodbye. We all just have this one live and do you want to waste it? What are your dreams and wishes? What do you want to TRY once ALONE? Life your life!
And if you really feel desperate than there are ever hotlines to call to. Don´t eat it up, talk to someone (it even can be a relative of yours with which you are really on a good side.)

tl;dr: You are not weak. You can feel whatever the fuck you want. No one is allowed to say: You are not supposed to feel like this, now.
Because it is YOUR life and your heart. But think on yourself and what would be good for you. And no, not that she would fall in love with you, but how you can feel good on your own again.

I am no good with other people. I talk to people, I am nice to people, I try to make friends, but still everyone ignores me. Oh sure people talk to me when I say something, but no one ever cares about me. Just once it would be nice for someone to go "Oh hi there, it's nice to see you. How is your day?" But no! No one cares. I have had minor attraction for a few girls, but never anything strong enough to act on. I can't even think about asking someone out that I am not friends with, I just can't comprehend it. I loved her because we were great friends. We got along so well, had so many common interests, I honestly thought it would work out between us. I spent so long trying to decide if it was worth trying, I guess I built up my expectations too much. I just hate being alone. I've always been alone and I can't take it anymore.

Nah, I kinda am. Keep driving people away and all that. Don't do it intentionally, of course. They just sort of leave when they realize 'wow, this chick's a nutjob'.

Slowly starting to realize though, that said friend was trying to 'shrink' me, and it made me look and feel like an even bigger nutcase than I really am. And in all likelihood, they were only focusing on my problems to forget about their own.

Doesn't matter now. Apparently I'm in for 'the talk'. I should savor it. This is probably the closest I'll ever get to getting dumped.

Hey. We all know here how it is to be alone. And especially if the christmas time is approaching. (Oh, hey there Glühwein. Yes, we both will be together under the christmas tree. Joking comment.)
But really how long did you try to be friends with someone? I mean i have a few good ones over the internet and it took me over half of a year to consider them as these good friends and not just as guys i know. (Okay i need to say i came over a good guy to them and well, they are so crazy and buddies with each other you don´t believe it.) But i also did things like talking about problems of me with them (be it finding work, politics, other things which they can realte too). Trying to find things which i can relate to them outside of games. I showed them: hey i can trust you, can´t i? So i´m going to talk with you about serious stuff! Not just goof of. But i also was there if they needed someone to talk to. And to the same interest thing: Find a person who has maybe as example the same musictaste, gametaste and try to talk with this person more. You may be surprised how sometimes more interest can come out. Again it all comes down to: Talk to new people, try to know them better, become friends, find maybe love.
And if you have a attraction ACT on it! Find out more about this girl. Try to meet up with her in a group of other friends. Than suggest a date, maybe.
I don´t say it all will come suddendly, because this what i tell you this changing of your ways needs time. But ask yourself: I am really this person i want to be in the moment? What can i do myself to LIKE me more. Don´t sit around, buddy. You seem like a fellow who just needs a bit encourage in some things. If you want i can give you my steamID so that if it happens we both are online i can lend a ear to you.

Feelings of me in the moment: I don´t have any clue what´s up with me. If the world would come down now i would look up smile and say I don´t care! I believe i finally snapped. (And if i did i never want to be normal anymore.)

>Slowly starting to realize though, that said friend was trying to 'shrink' me, and it made me look and feel like an even bigger nutcase than I really am. And in all likelihood, they were only focusing on my problems to forget about their own.

>Doesn't matter now. Apparently I'm in for 'the talk'. I should savor it. This is probably the closest I'll ever get to getting dumped.

Wow, that friend really sounds like a huge dick. Personally, I think you should stop talking to them and find someone else who will actually listen to your problems and try to work things out without coming off as harsh or judgmental. Someone who really cares about you. Someone who would try to work things out instead of leaving you to dry.

Meanwhile, I think I will, too.

Don't you ever say I didn't listen to your problems. The few you were willing to talk to me about I listened to. It's YOU who kept going on and on, making me feel like these small teeny minor problems I had were big massive deals when they weren't.

Congratulations for completely missing the point.

The thing is, Izzy, is that I just wanted to talk. Apparently, we weren't synched up right when it came to RPing, and I wanted to solve the issue. I would have thought that her OOONLY thing to do during the day would be worth fighting to save. Sure, it's easy to just give up and pout and sit in your corner and go, "Nobody like me..." but I was giving her a chance to iron things out. Even if we DID eventually decide to not be RPing partners anymore, we still could have been friends.

Instead, you basically slap me in the face by making a very transparent snark towards me on the chan, and won't even get on Steam so that we couldn't resolve our issue without everyone knowing our business.

And about trying to play "therapist" with you? Okay. I will freely admit that I got a little overly concerned, especially over certain body image issues for you. I went straight down the, "LOVE YOURSELF YOU'RE PERFECT SKDVNSRNVNKIH DON'T EVER SAY YOU'RE UGLY" route because that was YEARS of my life spent and I was hoping you wouldn't get stuck in the same loop I did. Apparently that makes me a bad friend now? Well sorry if I care about someone who's supposed to be my friend and try to relate her own troubles with things that I've struggled through. Silly me, I thought that was what was expected of a friend.

I guess there's not much to salvage from our supposed friendship. I'll be honest, I feel incredibly used, disrespected, and even emotionally blackmailed after all of this. I enjoyed RPing with you, all apart from a few aspects, and was willing to work things out with you, but it seems you were more willing to just give up than to go the distance and find a middle ground we could both agree on. More than that, it seems our friendship was based solely on RPing, and if we decide not to RP anymore, then there's no reason to talk.

I can't even begin to describe the overwhelming feeling of disappointment right now. I shared things with you that were very near and dear to me and told you things I was too panic-stricken or afraid to tell anyone else. I'll be more careful when sharing such sensitive knowledge from now on.
>> CA No. 10873
>>10872
Again, I am a cunt, and I apologize for it. I would like to continue RPing with you, but I genuinely feel like you can't stand me (again, don't blame you), so I don't want to inconvenience you. You are a good person, and I don't mind you playing therapist when I ASK for it. But I would make a comment about hating my breasts or something and you go off on the shrink route when it really doesn't require it.
While I understand that you may have gone through some body issues yourself (again, don't know for sure, you've never seen fit to really tell me much about it), but you have to realize that mine are not the same as yours. I am not the same as you. Yes, there are some people out there who are all 'I hate my body' and proceed to cut themselves. But I am not that type of person, and after talking and roleplaying with me for this long, I would hope that you could see that, but apparently it doesn't come across that I just don't like certain body parts on certain days.
For the record, the particular organic system we discussed was currently rendered in twain as it is once a month, thus my displeasure with it.

I'm sorry things ended up like this, and I blame myself entirely. I am sorry.

And for the record, I went to bed at 2 in the morning because my family took me out to breakfast this morning. I was able to check the chan on my ipod at the restaurant, but so far one cannot log into steam on the same device, as far as I am aware. Otherwise I would have just said this to your face...well, your avatar. Whatever.

Again, I apologize for being a shitty person. If you want the transcripts, just let me know and I'll email them.

Hai you guis.
I haven't been on Steam for a short while- the reason being I actually don't have a home anymore.
Right now I'm hopping all over the city to find any YWCA or Youth Hostel that will take me in while I can find a job. I've got two backpacks full of clothes and toiletries with me that I have to cart around bloody everywhere (they're bloody heavy!). And I have my android phone too, so I can keep in touch with family. I've just taken the opportunity at this Youth Centre to use the computers to post this. I've also swapped out some of my clothes for what they had in their free-to-take wardrobe.
All in all, it's actually kind of an exciting experience.

So I've been looking at graphics tablets and stuff, because I'd like to get into that kind of thing. Last night, I was playing TF2 with friends, and I couldn't hear mom call me up for supper, because I was on a micspam server, and thus it was very loud.
So she went with the assumption that later, when I had my headphones on, I couldn't hear her right beside me.
So I heard her tell my nan, on the phone, how she and my dad are going out to buy me a graphics tablet for Christmas.

EEK!

But now I also feel bad because so far I've gotten them nothing because A: No money, and B: No means of transportation to the mall.

Thanks to Mus I've checked every info available for Welburtin (it works like a placebo in the beginning, but there were a lot of positive reviews of it after few months of using it, and it's pretty cheap too), since my state for the past week was unacceptable. I couldn't force myself to get out of bed or go to school even though I know that we're spending a lot of money on it and it's understandable that my parents would be pissed, especially since there won't be a steady income since January and both of them are close to the retirement age. It was the worst week of the past 5 years, I went out maybe three times to pick groceries and retrieve post from the post office.
Sure, I skipped classes before, but that's because we have like, 1-3 classes per day and I need to catch up on a lot of stuff. But this?

I've never felt so crappy, and hearing my mother say today: then kill yourself, you'll be doing everyone a favor and won't drag them with you was the final blow. Tho it's the worst possible thing to hear for someone in my state of mind, it helped me to think about few other important things.

Ah, but it seems to be more than that now.
You see Kumori, when you ranted and raved to me above various people, groups and things you didn't like, I didn't then post them when you took a shot at me a few times or fell out with me, because I understood those were things between us and it would be low of me to be so childish, because I have no interest in trying to make you look like a jerk.

So when you took what I told you in confidence and posted it for all to see, it was a rather low move on your part. I'm not going to deny that what I said was harsh or deny that I came of like an asshole in it, heck, Ill admit I was in full asshole flow when I said it all.

However, when you took what I said and made it public, posted to people you knew it would hurt and effect and even to some close, personal friends, you hit a low. The fact that you wanted to hurt someone that has been there for you and listened many times, offered advice, have ranted to, insulted at times, consoled you even when you lash out, that is what hurts the most.

Now to what I said. First of, yes it was supposed to be private between myself and Kumori, but as I said I was harsh and an asshole, but only in regards to the team. I do enjoy the company of Team Mantrain's players, and I do have fun playing with them in random, fun games, and even though I stand by my opinion, I apologise if I hurt anyone's feelings or offended, I just feel that the team as a whole doesn't gel as well as it could and that we need more experienced players to help boost our play style and the team.

Am I gonna do what Kumori did and post what she thinks of everyone and the chan? No, Im not that sort of person and would take no pleasure from doing so, nor would I enjoy betraying her trust simply in the name of an eye for an eye.

All in all, Im sorry if what I say offended or hurt anyone, but it is simply how I see things, and frankly, Im hurt that I can tell someone I trusted those things without them spreading it as far as they can.
>> No. 10908

I don't know what is going on here but does your team drama really need to be here out in the open on the whole chan when this issue only concerns a few members? In fact, it seems directed at Kumori specifically. Is there something preventing you from sending her an e-mail?

Generally the stuff people post in the feelings thread does not pertain to members of the chan. Things that do otherwise is generally considered starting drama, which is no bueno. And it's really odd that earlier you were withholding information from me to protect Kumori, but now you bring this out into the open on the feelings thread where you know other channers will see seems really... I dunno. I can understand you being upset about her bringing up private stuff with members of the team. That's not cool in any circumstance, but to, what looks like, retaliate against her by bringing up your stuff with the chan isn't any better honestly. If you wanted to apologize with your teammates, why couldn't you have just said your last sentence and left it vague so those parties who knew what was going on would know what you meant but left the rest of the chan in the dark?

What is your intention of bringing this up here, is what I'm after. If you are attempting to start public drama in retaliation, I will have to take action against you for legitimately breaking a chan rule. And I don't think you can say it would be unfair of me to do so on this specific instance.
>> No. 10909
>>10908
I actually asked for a few opinions on this post before I posted, and they all saw it as fine and all, and just about every member of the team is on the chan, it is Team Mantrain after all.

The reason I mention Kumori is because it was her, nothing more than that, and feelings is intended to get feelings out and typing it all was getting every feeling out, nothing more, nothing less, and in all honesty, all Ive received is support in all this and have been telling people not to take sides in it all.

I posted to apologise, but I also posted to tell Kumori that I wasn't happy with her actions, and since many people already know its her Im talking about, I felt it more fitting to address her directly rather than just keep saying "This person, this friend" so on and so forth.

No drama here boss, just feelings.
>> No. 10910

No. You need to tell me why everyone else on this thread, that isn't on your team, needs to know that it is Kumori you are talking about. Seriously. The whole chan is not on your team. Do you understand what I'm saying? Did you need to tell Kumori you weren't happy with her publically, when she isn't even online, probably having gone to bed to even address it. What is keeping you from taking up that part with her in private. That part is drama. Not feelings.

Also, if you don't mind me interjecting, people have squabbled in the feelings thread before. I mean, just look at that bitter exchange between me and Iz a few days ago.

When I tried to talk to her before she left, she ignored me, she wouldn't listen and in all honesty, I think she has blocked me so I don't know how else I would have contacted her.

Thanks, guys.
I talked it out with her and although it was a rather cold and mostly one sided conversation, we managed to come to an agreement, even tho she didn't take it back.
It's a bit tiring, when we're jumping to our throats one day and talking and acting like a civilized people and functional family the next.
Tho when my older sister was around, we were constantly fighting, but when she moved out we're all on better terms now. I can't wait for the renting contract to be over so I can move out to my own place.

And I managed to talk about the possible bad situation with the dean, and he said that it's possible, but in order to take said break, I'd have to continue the rest of the classes with new students after one year. He told me to think it over and wished me good luck.
Also got a good crit from one of our drawing assistants, and I know more about my drawings (good and bad sides), and how to make them more dynamic and appealing.

Scotland is being hit with 90 mph winds as I speak, but here in the valley, the wind piles down the mountains so its easily notching up to 100-120 in my area. Went for a walk through the fields, and Im sure everyone has heard wind howl before. This was more like screaming, hundreds of voices screaming constantly and I have to say, it was quite invigorating and some what mind clearing.

I just want to get this out here and clear the air with someone, and perhaps everyone. I'm sorry for how I reacted last night and the events that unfolded when I signed off. I acted because I was tired and confused and not thinking straight, and in doing so, betrayed your trust, for which I am sorry. I just hope we can move on and forget it ever happened.

I didn't mean to cause harm. However, I made a fuck up anyways and I'm sincerely sorry I hurt your feelings and probably put a chink in the trust of various people. It was wrong for me and I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I apologize for everything I have ever done to anybody. I did it not because I'm a malicious person, but because I am overworked, stressed, and enduring certain hardships; and as a result I wasn't thinking straight. I'm an idiot.

Kumori, as someone who recently had a complete change of career for health reasons, I have one thing to say, with all due respect.

Do it. Do it for you, and for all those around you that you love.

I've been there. I was in a situation and a workplace that was, quite frankly, toxic. Workmates and bosses were incompetent, cliquey and negative, every week brought new unwelcome developments from the moneygrubbing new owners of the company, etcetera. Over six years I developed a whole host of chronic conditions, lost a lot of friends, and averaged 5 hours' sleep a night. That advice I gave Teapot upthread about medication? First hand experience.

I actually hung on for two more years out of guilt before my doctor put his foot down and said if I didn't get out, I was going to go faaar downhill, and a hell of a lot faster.

It's not worth it. Get out while you are still you. <:/

Are you me? You definately nailed everything on the head and close to every detail.

I want to desperately get out, but I feel like I'm stuck in a catch 22. The economy and job market is piss-poor, so it makes it hard actually trying to find another job and secure it. However at my current job that I've been shedding blood, sweat, and tears for for over five years, my job and title is secure..but the pay is bad. I know for a fact I can't keep this up much longer and it's been eroding my health, mentality and costing me my friends over the years. I've developed stress-picking and skin infections that take forever to heal, my body is sore.

I'm looking forward to pulling myself out of my workplace, RIP, shit or bust by the end of March, so that way I can live off of my income tax returns until I secure something, anything. But, I am strongly doubtful anything will occur.

Kumori, I'm so glad you're not just firm on the decision to get out, but have a deadline. If you could get out earlier than March, that would be even better.

I think you'll find that there's a lot of people out there in the same sort of fix. Do you have any sort of access to a counsellor or some such thing? One thing I found that really helped me while I was trying to find the right time (and to be honest, the courage) to get out, was to talk to a caring listener. It doesn't have to be a trained professional, it could just be some sort of phone line or a good friend or relative. It is immensely soothing to talk to someone who doesn't just understand, but will listen, not dismiss it as whining, and (most importantly) not add to the stress of the other demands being made on you.

Failing that, I could give you my email if you want to vent. Just my two cents worth of an offer..?

>or a good friend or relative. It is immensely soothing to talk to someone who doesn't just understand, but will listen, not dismiss it as whining, and (most importantly) not add to the stress of the other demands being made on you.

I would normally confide in my closest friends. However, usually whenever I have tried to talk with a select few of them, everything I had to say was indeed dismissed as whining. I am not allowed to talk about my problems as a normal human being, or hell, even be allowed to make a mistake every now and then without someone jumping down my throat or spreading shit about me, how I am a bitch n' all. I guess it comes with the territory and my titles. The higher up on the ladder you are, the more shit gets talked about you behind your back. I received this treatment both at my job and on the Internet from managing this site. However, it's more common and painful on the Internet. I can't seem to find any peace or more or less try to talk to someone. It's been a never-ending vicious cycle and I've completely given up for the most part in trying to speak with a friend about anything after a recent event.

It's either I'm bad and selfish for talking to a friend about things (because everybody has their own problems and don't want to hear yours), or when you do talk to them, you are dismissed as a whining crybaby and attention whore.

I am however really glad to have a few friends that will sit and listen to me, it's only that the number of other people I've mentioned earlier far outnumber them and make things really difficult.

I am, for once, feeling great about myself and my situation. Getting my hair done tomorrow, then partying with my mom in the evening.

I see all the mods are different people (either that or I simply forgot their names, quite possible), that makes me happy as I can't say I cared much for the old ones, they were the reason I left in the first place.

Finals in roughly 20 minutes. Should I be worried because I didn't study for any more than an hour? I really don't think it's healthy to be this not nervous... I guess it's because I'm taking a class that I took in high school; too bad i was too depressed to actually do the homework. I'm not sure. The idea that I'm taking classes that I know I could have skipped is making me more upset with myself than the whole "not studying very much" thing.

Got in a car accident last night. It was raining, and the dumbass in front of me slammed on the brakes. I went to stop but skidded into her. I barely bumped her, and SOMEHOW my airbags went off, which crushed my windshield from the inside. The person in front of me literally had a six inch gray scuff on the paint of her bumper. Though, it was a fucking Lexus, of course.

I was really lucky though. The airbags barely touched me, I have a bruise on my hand and one will more than likely pop up on my chest, but it doesn't even really hurt. The insurance company made it sound like no big deal, the cop didn't give me a ticket since the road was wet, and I haven't heard from the other person. The damage doesn't sound like it's going to be enough to have to report it to the DMV, AND my dad is a Toyota tech and can fix my car for way cheaper than anyone else could. It's a '95 Celica, so I'm having to get the airbags second hand and so far I've only found the drivers side, but things could be a HELL of a lot worse. All I have to be upset about is that I won't have a car for about a week, tops.

For the most part I'm just upset that I won't be able to go out on Saturday. I promised my boyfriend I'd come over and help his ex is coming over to get the last of his stuff. His ex is really aggressive and they'll probably end up fighting. Only verbally, but still, he really needs the support and I hate not being able to give it to him. Once all of his ex's shit is gone, I'm going to help him clean up his room and start getting things organized. He went to therapy yesterday, which went well, but he needs to see a psychiatrist for anxiety and some memory problems. Except he has no way to pay for it, and his mom is guilting him so bad about paying for it that he gets - go figure, anxious about it - and shutting it out. I keep reminding him to call but he doesn't think his parents will pay for therapy and the psychiatrist. Hopefully once we get moved out and settled, we'll be able to find a way to make some extra cash that he can put towards getting more help, but for the most part his issues are triggered by the stress of his ex and his parents, so things will hopefully get better soon.

I honestly think the new year is going to iron out a lot of our problems. The Christmas season is depressingly... depressing, for some, unfortunately including us.

Then again, things could be much worse! All things considered, I'm pretty happy.

Fucking raging right now. That was the worst time I've had playing TF2 in ages. Three hours and not one single fucking win. It wasn't that anyone was being an ass or that anyone was playing unfairly. No, the teams were unstacked and got scrambled frequently. No. It was just ME who couldn't score a single fucking win no matter how hard I fucking tried. And it pissed me off.

I felt like a huge douche being all snarly and bitter on the server, because, even though I'm competitive as all gets out, I like to think of myself as a good sport. But after fucking THREE HOURS?! Even a random hat drop (I got Scout's backwards cap) couldn't cheer me up.

You KNOW it's big when not even the power of hats can make something better.

I guess it wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't started playing for the sole reason of trying to relax and then some shit like that happens.

Naw you may misunderstood me here pal. It is not i´m depressed about drinking alone, but rather it is more fun to drink in company and to complain about life. My best "drinking" friend is outta the country and i miss us both sitting together telling us what is currently wrong make a snarky joke and to watch tv. It is a bit hard to explain... we both indulge into not serious sadness than. Which means we make jokes like: Ahaha yes i´m just a few breakdowns away from suicide! But i don´t give a damn. And suddendly bloodbath on the TV, isn´t that funny? And drunkely telling us: You are the best. It is nice to have company while drinking. I maybe just really wish to have a friend where i can go out with drink and make karaoke knowing than for every embarrassing thing i do i can later blame alcohol. (yes i once did sing in a karaokecontest after i had one beer. Yes i sucked greatly. Yes it was song of the german Band ECHT- Du trägst keine Liebe in dir.

Its gonna be so fucking chilly, with games and drinks, and Skyrim and Assasins Creed and such. itll be terrific, im certain.
the only thing that i need atm is snow. much amounts of it. when i remember last years december, what huuuge amounts of snow we had here, i feel almost mournful. it was so much snow, guys, so much ! and this year ? nothing, not even rain !!! and for fucks sake, im living near the mountains, and we break all records of snowfall every year !

A thing my mom told me once:
[b]No one can help you, we just can stand there to give you support but to the end you need to fix yourself. But we all love you fo r who you are.[/b]

Did i start to fix myself? Yes, yes i fucking did something against some of my issues. Do i want to completly change? I saw in the mirror. I saw someone who can be nice, is mean in a jokingly way to friends and loved ones, someone who likes to derp around, but doesn´t feel like it every time, someone moody who can be outlashing against friends (for gods sake if i tell people to please stop and they don´t stop, to annoy because they need to be funny and all, they shouldn´t wonder.) Someone who doesn´t want to pretend to be different. Tried it, saw that it brought me NOTHING, that my so called friends abandon me quite quickly than telling me they are sorry, but somehow.. i don´t fit.
That being said i like to help people, i like to listen to them give them advise how i see it with my cold german logic and i try to say the truth. The truth is hurtfull, the truth can be changed through feelings and my judgement can be negatory influenced through them, if my logic fails me and my inner leading voice is silented by my inner demons. I learned to tell them to fuck off and to listen to my voice more. My opinion isn´t a holy sacral thing. It is my opinion, it can be changed, morphed and beeing doubted on. I can live with that if people are doing so. Because everyone has the right on a own opinion.
Still i´m a egoistical bastard. I don´t give a fuck who said what about who, which child went where, what my neighboors are doing. All i care are my friends.

That beeing all said about me i wouldn´t want to be friends with ymself. I mean not good friends. Maybe a good aquaintance, but to the end i´m just that much cocky, moody and ignorant that i don´t consider myself a good person. So do i want to completly change? No, because i like to be like that, which just makes me a even worser person.
Still i can make compromises if people would tell me so.

Current feelings: Sour, self-doubting because it seems no matter what i try people expect me ever to be a better person than i want to be.

I don't understand how any of the fans could be displeased with the new Tintin film. Even though it wasn't a direct adaptation from the comics I still enjoyed myself immensely. They got the spirit of it just right.

The person I hit in the car accident (>>10979) is claiming injury. A week later. Even though both myself and the cop asked if either of us were injured and we both said no, offered an ambulance multiple times and we both said no, and there was no damage to her car besides a scuff in the bumper.

The insurance company keeps asking me fishy sounding questions, like if I noticed any damage to her trunk. A rep came out and took pictures of the damage, and seemed really surprised and confused by how the car looked, so something is definitely up.

This is apparently at a level that they could get in some serious shit for. I seriously doubt they're getting a dime out of me, either way.

This month has been depressing. I'm so ready for the New Year.

I personally was so ready to watch it, but when I saw the graphic style of the movie, I was freaked out like you wouldn't believe.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm just too sensitive, but the extremely creepy uncanny valley vibes I got from the movie turned me off immensely from watching it.
Shame, I'm sure it's a good movie and I ADORE Tintin, but even the posters freak me out. They should have either made it an animated feature or a real life adaption, not both. It just looks ... WRONG.

I got into a car accident today. A woman hit me in the bumper--I was heading north, and she was going east at around 45 mph. I went 180 degrees before the car stopped. The bumper's got to be replaced, but at least my insurance should cover a good chunk of it.

I'm frustrated and embarrassed. I should be more pissed, but this is the second time I've had a car accident on a Christmas Eve. Oddly enough, both cars were also white. Go figure. I just wish my parents could understand that I'm upset because I feel like an irresponsible teenager.

I hope you're having a better Christmas than I am.

My friend is a butthead, and I love him for it.

He's been on me about what I want for Christmas, and I told him nothing. I don't like my online friends giving me gifts. It just feels like I'm unable to glomp them and love them and freak out for it.

But I went, and added a whole bunch of like, 2-dollar games on Steam to my wishlist, so he could buy one of them.

Fucker goes and buys Portal 1 and 2 for me.

Thrilled to bits, but JESUS I wish he weren't in California so I could give him the biggest hug he's ever had.

That awkward moment when you know someone is an asshole, but then they do something that just really takes the anus cake.

A friend of mine is giving me some serious grief over my name and I just want to punch him for it. I came out as trans maybe two months ago and I've been struggling to find a first name I like. I'd only changed it once previously to something androgynous, and made a post mentioning that I wanted to change it to something more distinctly masculine but I was afraid of how people would react.

I then got a message from this guy bitching that he was just going to start calling me by my legal name if I "couldn't figure it out for myself." I knew this guy was kind of close minded, but he usually at least tries. I didn't expect him to be THAT much of a prick.

God, as if I didn't feel bad enough for asking people to call me something else than they're used to? It's not like I ever blamed anyone for slipping up or making a mistake as long as they're trying. I don't see what his problem is.

The kicker is that he doesn't go by his legal name either.

Secret Santa stuff was more of a hassle than I would have liked. And my parents being childish dicks to me toward the end of the evening really soured anything good to come out of that Christmas.

Really, they might have given me most of the stuff I put on my wishlist, but if they just give me that shit just so they don't have to actually respect me and treat me like the adult I am, then they can take it all back for all I care.

Here's a protip: If you want someone to do something for you, even if it's your child, have the decency to ask nicely. Don't make snide passive-aggressive comments and harass someone to the point were they are forced to comply. That only makes them resent you, and add as another reason to never speak to you once they leave the nest for good.

This year's Christmas has been really well and kind. I can say that I found that my heart has started to grow back a little. Just when I thought I lost faith in humanity, people will come up when you least expect it and do the darnest things to make you happy and other people happy. Certain someones have been really nice and sweet to me, and I am really thankful for them. I wish I could really return the nice favors and kind gestures.

This year's Secret Santa has been really great. Having been watching from the outside, I can really say that I'm proud of all the people that have participated and have made sacrifices to make other people's Christmas really special. I'm also proud in KiloMonster's handling and organization of the event, she deserves a round of applause and praise to her. All of this really warms my heart and makes me proud to manage this site and its community.

My Christmas was good, finally got skyrim and have hardly let go of the hiking stick my bro got me (not sure why, I just like sticks)

However, I say FUCK YOU to the Secret Santa system: this is the third year in a row I've been stood up, the first two were in a TF2 rp group, and this time it was in an OC group. I put my heart into the pictures I gave, why can't anybody be bothered? Just about everyone else got theirs!

I know you're my Dad, and your relationships are not my business. They shouldn't be. But they become my business every time you two wake me up screaming at each other. You two make a really good case for why dating and marriage are futile activities. You also make a very good case for why they Nuclear Holocaust is an impending thing. In my head, I don't want to hurt people. Hurting people makes them sad. It's kindergarten stuff. In my heart, however...
I become more and more fond of incineration as a MOD.

Ooo, a merfolk character! Interesting, I've not seen this kind of thing before. I'm not sure if I can get it done very promptly due to real-life stuff, but I'm sure I can do it in the next few weeks. Don't worry about a return drawing.

Just two questions: 1) Is there anything else I can read or look at to get a better idea of Amaury's personality, habits, etc, and 2) What kind of setting/prompt would you like for the picture?

Before I start spewing shit, I just want to say that's fucking adorable. a merfolk group you say?

I'll give you all a brief run down of my job drama. Got a full time job that unexpectedly turned into a work-from-home-run-errands-when-I-need-you with no defined hours and more importantly, no defined pay. I am literally making no money, and my boss is an idiot. Think the Devil Wears Prada, but stupid. We're spending more money then we're bringing in and frankly the entire business is circling the drain.

I responded to an ad for a full time job in my field and got a call back from them, only to find out that the owner of the company is a close personal friend of my boss. He asked if my boss knew I was looking for work. I said, YES. He signed me up for an interview.

My boss, who hasn't called or emailed me in over a week, emailed me last night passive aggressively wishing that everything goes well for me. I think she's a little hurt that I've been looking for employment behind her back, and its obvious that I won't be able to work for her if I get hired full time.

Her business may even fail entirely if I leave.

I probably won't get paid for my last few weeks of work.

But for once in my life.

I simply

do

not

care

this is an amazing feeling and I want to feel it every day.

I am a douche-bag and I am proud.

Holidays were pretty good. I didn't know what I wanted, but that's okay, I got everything I wanted anyway (as in I got nothing but awesome gifts). On the other hand, I'm just waiting for "after the holidays" for a painful but much needed talk. I'm sure this wont be the end of anything, but I've been ill since they told me about it and the end of the holidays can't seem to come soon enough.

I don't mind if it takes you time to get it done, take what time you need to do your own thing. If I have to elaborate on his character (since this is the only 'expressive' drawing I have of him other than a crack-ish drawing where he's on steroids) I'd say he loves to salvage old shops (the world sank under the ocean in the group) and loves anything with seaweed in it for food, but dislikes jellyfish and hides his slight lisp. Also he twitches when you make a short joke.
This pic is of his wife and child, adding them is optional.

Supposed to go to a NYE cosplay ball with a friend tonight.

Saw friend yesterday, told her my wig never shipped and I was freaking out; her mother had made our dresses for us (though I would have been fine with making them ourselves). She told me that if anything else, somebody else could wear the dress.

Implying I don't matter.

Then I asked her when she wanted to meet up to get ready together, and she told me this: "Idc I just need the bracers and you need the dress. Whenever you can get down here I guess."

It took me a minute or two to process that and I asked her, "Wait are we not going down together?"

"I hadn't planned on it."

Now, I know tf2chan hates ponies, but forgive me for a moment. We're going as gijinka Luna and Celestia, aka the princesses. Who are sister. As in, a pair cosplay.

Why are we not going up together, or getting ready together? That makes no sense to me. Tell her, "Well, it's a pair cosplay so I kind of figured we would be..."

"I know but we are going to have [friend] and [other friend] in the car too. I figured [other other friend] or someone would take you. And we are leaving at 9 btb"

Now, I have to get there at 6 or 7 for safety precautions because I didn't manage to get a pre-reg ticket in time, so I'll probably be alone for several hours since my friend and two other people (who I had no idea were going) aren't coming until way later.

So is it wrong of me to feel like she just doesn't care about me and is being a shitty friend right now? Because this is genuinely upsetting me.

Well I'll be damned, the person only turned theirs in late. I think it's cute, but I really don't know what to say; from the start I wasn't expecting to get one after all, you know? Guess it doesn't need to be made up for.

In other news, I really really wanna meet with a friend in Connecticut sometime, but her family hates me after I tried saving her life by calling the police (they don't like police, long story) and she can't stand my family because of the excessive noise they make while I'm on skype calls, as well as a conflict in interests that leads her to believe my family's a bunch of assholes. That and neither of us have plane ticket money. Maaan, my sister gets to have friends over from other states, why can't I meet with my long-distance friends too?
