Love Kay.

Dear Kay,
I hope things have gotten better for you.  But PLEASE, don't consider youiself a loser.  I have no idea who you are, but no one needs to be a loser.  Think of your good qualities.  Think of your possibilities.  I know H.S. can be a royal pain - mine was (years ago) - but you will get beyond it.  I don't want to preach, but you need to get rid of your negative attitude.  It will only drag you down.  I know it can be hard, but YOU CAN DO IT.

He moved away before I could kill him.

Quoting:In my natural state I am a loser.  It took me much hard work throughout high school to earn some level of respect from my peers and some dates from the ladies.  At college I find that that hard work has been flushed down the crapper and I am back at square one.End Quote

I've worked my way back to semi-cool now.  It's easier after the first time.

Yeah, you can switch this one to "I seem to be making crappy grades and yet I still feel like I'm failing my classes."

Quoting:There was a girl I dated back during the last half of my senior year.  It's hard to say we had a relationship because she always seemed too busy with a billion different other things, it was like conducting a long-distance relationship from ten minutes away.  She weighs on my mind very heavily lately.  I go home on the eleventh, I'll probably see her then.End Quote

Yeah, me and her got back together over Spring Break.  We celebrated our one-month anniversary two days ago.

Hmmm... my financial situation.  For now I am sitting on my lazy butt and living off my savings.  I have to buy a tux for my band performances, so this is going to be a costly costly weekend.

Well, I was laid off from my job the last week of July...  

Now, I'm finding things difficult, because full time jobs in my area require that you be there at 8am.  My daughter's school bus does not arrive till 9am.  


End Quote

Not much of a practical change for me.  Still looking for work, but I am getting far more interviews than before...

I've decided the school department is full of dummies, because they are upset with me that my daughter has not made any progress in her special-needs classes.  When I asked them specifically what things they are teaching her, all I get for an answer is "HUH???  US????"

GRRR.  I've got a meeting set up with them later this week, where I intend to threaten them with public humiliation, an possible legal action.

No kidding.  Now, if only it had been in league play instead of during practice.  But to me, a 300 is still a 300.  I had that one printed out and put on my wall next to my PC.  Normally, I'm a 199 average.

My highest last year in my bowling league was a 184 with 6 strikes in a row.I couldn't believe when I saw it :o But last December,I pulled a hamstring which made me unable to bend down and roll the ball so I went to the doctor and that's what he said,I just pulled my muscle!But after my injury healed,I was doing better and now I feel my bowling's not that great like it used to be. Oh Well! I might be quitting my Bowling league.After all,I have a medal,2 trophys and an award for 1st and 3rd places.

Hey, I met a very cool somebody from here too!  :D  Awesome!!!

Things are kinda shaky right now in the reconciliation process with my wife and TBH, I'm not sure if we'll work it out.  My bills are starting to pile up and stress me out, but other than that life is good.  I may be taking another vacation in June.

Hmm let's see

Jan:
Slept through my 24th b'day(13)
Hooked up with a friend of mine(24)

Feb:
Had a boyfriend but valentine's day still sucked

March:
My best friend lost her first and only child, she was only 1 :(
That broke my heart(1)

For the first time in my life I got FIRED, courtesy of Loews Cineplex(13) and in that same week I found out that my so called boyfriend/Friend was not such a nice guy. Our relationship went downhill.(16 or 17th I think)

Became depressed and spent the rest of March unemployed, single and bored with life.

April

I put my pain on paper-I sat and wrote six songs and music to go with them(1-5)

Got hired at a Supermarket(7)

Got out of depression and started hanging out again(last week of)

May

Tried to reconnect with previously mentioned X-boyfriend and found out some really dirty things about him(last week)

Gave up on relationships and accepted the fact that there's a 95% chance that I'm going to be single for the rest of my life. No make that 99.44%(24)

and my life has been a monotony eversince....god help me.

*at least I have my playstation*

Only 24 and throwing in the towel?  Enjoy your playstation, but don't give up the ship.  As far as I'm concerned, your still (almost) just a baby  ;D  Wish I was 24 again  :'( So many possibilities, so much to do.  DO IT  :D

Quoting:
Thanks for asking Howard.  :D

I've flicked through the boards and I can not get over the honesty depicted in them - it is very refreshing. I would like to say to Kay, after having suffered from depression myself,  I hope that you can really find that self-worth in your heart. I feel for you already.

As for me, I have stook with my boring job for over 12 months and I think the monotony is getting to me. The people at work are 'one track minded' (just talk about getting pissed) and maybe it's time to move on - the only thing stopping me is that the money is good for what I am doing.

I have lived with my girlfriend and her son for 6 months. We are very happy even though we are going through the 'feeling out' process. We get annoyed with each other but we always talk about our problems - which are very few relatively speaking.

My brother came down south from the Midlands to stay at my mums for a week (who doesn't live far from me) and he didn't even phone, never mind visit  - it hurt but I try to except the situation.

Thanks very much for listening.  :)

End Quote

6 months? really? :D I had a girlfriend for almost 5 years and she broke up with me in October 2001 and lately I've had a chance to go out and find me one.I'd like to wait till I get a good decent job cause I wouldn't want them to laugh at me now cause I attend a sheltered workshop the mentally retarded.

Howard

Quoting:
I'm sorry to hear that you've seen better times. :-/

What is a workshop for the retarded? If you don't mind me saying, you don't sound like you're retarded in any way whatsoever. I think a lot of the stuff you put on the boards is really funny.

I was going out with my girlfriend 2 weeks before I lost my previous job. She was very supportive and this made me more determined to get another one.

I'm sure your breaks will come, Howard.  ;)
End Quote

A sheltered workshop is a place for people who can't work at the moment but I can work but I am stuck there until I try to get myself outta the place.The shop has people who are lower functioning than I am.I on the other hand are quite intelligent.

5 years was a long time to go out.The bored part is after almost 2 years(October 2001),the pain is not there anymore and feeling lost without a girl.I've moved on and kinda laid back in finding a woman at the moment.

I'm intending to return to my school and join the sixth form. I just sat my GCSEs and will sit another maths exam next week. Two subjects I want to study in sixth form are art and French. I also want to take ICT, but that isn't listed in the columns and it says computing instead. My dad told me that computing is difficult because you have to be good at maths.
