your oral surgeon and crew must have done an excellent job on you.  you'll be feasting on all your favorites real soon.



They really did.  The two nurses I had were super-nice to me, too.  They could tell I was nervous AND I was cold so I started shivering and they gave me a blanket. 

Psht, "Boulevard..." Only HAS a chorus and one verse


I'm not trying to defend that song, I was using it as an example of songs you don't like that it's possible to know a few lyrics of.

And it has 2 verses, really.. short, bad verses.. but still verses.

Nah, I was just saying that it's not a hard song to know all the lyrics to, is all.

you're a mess Davey, and why did you inflict injury upon thyself?  I have a friend who says she has cold sores but I think its herpes. I hope you heal fast.


I was putting up a sofit and to do that one must bang in pins upwards, without really being able to see very well where one is hitting. So you hold the pin in place and hope you don't miss.  ;D

Why is it called "Babies R Us"? Was it created by a couple of 3 month olds?



It's a store with clothes for tiny tots and babies just like Toys R Us are for kids who like toys

Actually, it's more analogous to Kids R Us, which SM mentioned above.


I wonder if either store evolved from Toys R US??

I'm not feeling high spirited right now. :-\\

God, this antibacterial mouth rinse tastes like sh*t.  Ugh.

I'd say I feel okay right now.

Robin and I are going to do another temporary separation again after her birthday next week cause she feels I have no motivation.Do you guys on here feel that she's been using me all this time I mean I want to try to keep her but she's being ridiculous already,What does she want in life? She did this to me last year with the temporary separation until I wound up getting the interview at ABP towards the end of January and got hired in February 2006.if she wants to be an asshead,fine I say go for it.Being broken-up temporarily is not a good way for motivation,It's just stupid.I just thought I'd vent since I haven't talked about her in a while. ::)

Dump her ass and tell her to f*ck off.  You don't need her dramatic, histrionic bullsh*t.

Sounds like Robin doesn't know what she wants. Too bad for her, I say give her the boot!

I hate to tell you this, but maybe you two might need to go your separate ways. :-\\

Y'know, Howard, if you were feeling really mean at the time, you could always split with her on her birthday..

In all seriousness, you seem to be down a lot lately about this stuff, and I think we can all tell it's not your fault. If all that matters to her is that her boyfriend has a job, then she's got her priorities entirely wrong.

If after a given trial separation period you still feel down, maybe the separation idea wasn't quite right. If you feel capable of making a fresh start, you know you made the right decision. And if it makes Robin wait a while and stew in what she's trying to turn you into, maybe she deserves it.

That could just be my experience with girls named Robin talking, but there you go. Keep us informed with how it turns out.

I don't know,It's hard.I've been lying to her just to get her off my back.She kept calling me thinking that I was at the mall filling out applications but I wasn't today.I just can't dump her,I'm a complete moron If I don't. :-\\

I wish I could but I'm a wuss. :(

She never knew what SHE wanted.All her life Robin never had a boyfriend before and now she puts an ultimatum on me again.I just can't give her the boot,I'm sorry to say.

Then you're just going to have to deal with it, I'm afraid.  It seems to me that she doesn't appreciate you at all though, and who really wants to live with that type of relationship?

Up to you...only YOU can prevent crazy girlfriends!  :D

I'm going to have to live with it but I mean do I see a pattern here where If I get fired/laid off from a job she's going to pull this crap every year with this temporary separation? I don't know but what do you guys think? ???

I wouldn't be surprised if she were like that.  You want to be careful with this one.

I wouldn't be surprised if she were like that.  You want to be careful with this one.


She's been like that since last year

Why ask if you should break up with her if you say time and time again that you have no desire to do so?  You say you're tired of her bull and when we agree and tell you to ditch her, you keep coming up with more reasons why you can't.  Just tell her to go to hell and leave it at that.  You don't need her crap.

Pretty much. For some reason, I always saw you, if you ever got to our school, faring better outside of the social circle you're acquainted with thant inside of it.. like, I always saw you making better friends elsewhere or something.. dunno why.

Actually, same here for me too. I had to get up early and work with my dad, then when I got off I just came home. I work and make money, but then when I get off I have to bum a ride from him to go do anything. I hate it, I have zero chance of getting any dates with no ride at my age.

I'm aware of that. Still, you've got money coming in. Save it up and buy a car. It's not an instant solution, but when you come up with a better way to obtain a car than purchasing one, by all means use that solution.

Saving up won't hurt, might as well try.

I am in a good mood. Chris and I were able to go out tonight...we went down near Pittsburgh to a Japanese hibachi steak & sea house (where they cook right in front of you). The place was crowded (we waited over an hour)...but they paired us up with some friendly folks...and we were all chatting while we ate. It was a LOT of fun! :)

I feel freakin' awesome.  :)

I feel content, and happy that Julie just got home. Not bad, she's 17, it's 10:41 on a Saturday night, her and friends went out to dinner, a movie, then to Nations for some pie and she's in before 11pm??  what a good kid. damn I luv her.  However, nothing is ever as good as we want it to be. I  hear a boys voice in the living room.  >:( 











;D 

damn

Ooooooooh, Julie's got a boyfriend!  Okay Mike....this is what you do.  Go in there and pretend to be looking for something.  Really get into it.  Throw stuff on the floor, crawl around, smack the ground and say things like "now where the hell is that thing?".  The boy will make like a bread truck and haul buns.

I'm ambivalent right now.I don't know what I want to do.If I break away from her permanently then I feel kind of lost and depressed on Sundays and our routine we've been having for 2 years would be gone.I also feel that something good(and you never know)might come out of this relationship.Only Her And I would know if we were meant to be.Telling her to go to hell would be wrong.Something I want to say to her that's nasty is holding me back so I'm trying to avoid it as best as I can and that's why I bite my tongue when I talk to her on the phone and in person.I'm holding on and I don't want to give up even though people are telling me to dump her and I just don't want to start over again. :-\\

Maybe I shouldn't have told her that I lost/ got laid off from my job then this whole situation wouldn't have started. :(

I assure you as a teenager that they would never try anything innappropriate with parents in the house. :P

Oh man, I feel like crap.

I have some sort of throat infection (have done for about 2 weeks now - gonna see the doc tomorrow) but it's my godawful hangover that's doing the business today.

Usually by mid-afternoon I'd feel ok.. but man, I must have tied one on last night.

I can remember getting to my friends house, but how I got home (a distance of some 5 miles) is something I don't know and don't want to know. I did however find half a kebab in my pocket this morning, that made a good breakfast.

Survival of the fittest, eh? Why don't you just go lay down and drink water? And by water, I mean a few gallons of it.

mi hed hurts and my heart is going at the speed of lyt.

i luv it!

And lied to her?  If she found out and you didn't tell her, she'd be just as mad....if not more.  It's a no-win situation for you, Howard.  That's why you need to cut your losses and find someone else who isn't going to make you feel bad about yourself.

not her boyfriend, she broke up a couple weeks ago. This was just a good friend who lives nearby and there were 2 boys!  I did go out to "say hi" . They were at the dinner table talking .

At least at that point in time they were...

.. nah, I just wanna make you all paranoid.

I'd hate having a daughter. I told my neice that she shouldn't be hanging around with pikey looking boys at her age, but she's nearly 14 now, dosen't seem right to me. Of course, at 14 I was doing my best to get my leg over everything that moved.

I meant she broke up with another dude. These 2 are longtime classmates, no romance, but they do get kinda close and i just try my best to not envision beheading the lads, and let her have a life and try to trust her. I don't trust boys, especially if they're like you and me at that age.

Exactly.. and you know they are.

What I would do if I had a daughter is bring home derelict after derelict and explain to her the consequences of living the sort of life you assume she wants to at that age. That'll scare the crap out of her. Also, drop something in his drink.  ;)

Ooooh yeah. I'll do that.


It wasn't exciting enough, you forgot to have both sides attack each round(which has to be done for the first 3 rounds).

I understand what you're saying but I can't.As much as it hurts deep in my heart I can't leave her permanently.Her And I right now and she did it over the phone will be taking a temporary disconnection from each other until I get this full time job whenever that'll be.My job coach and I are working on applications so this time I don't want him to rush this job.It takes time and patience.Robin can wait(that stupid girl)no matter how long this search will take,She'll wait.I'm not rushing to go back to this relationship.When the time is right and I'll get myself situated,I'll come back into her arms and we'll live happily ever after.(being sarcastic)  ;D ::)

Howard have you sat down with her and asked her to explain, clearly, why it's such a big deal that you are out of work at the moment? Is it coming from her or her parents? You have said they don't really like you in the past so maybe it's them pressuring her about it.

Howard.. there are two ways I can see of looking at this.

On the one hand, yes, it is important to have a job, be it part time or full time so you can earn money, maintain independance, etc, etc, etc. I think that Robin also believes this and is trying to help you.. BUT! here is the thing. I don't think her threatening to break up with you if you don't have a job she thinks is acceptable is the right way to go. Maybe you need to talk with her, explain that you want to get a good job and are trying, but the best way for you to do that would be for her to encourage you, not punish you.

I'm a little discouraged that I'm having a difficult time finding work.  Who knew that ad agencies in Atlanta weren't hiring entry-level people right now?  Ugh.

Quite chilled, our p.c at home died on saturday so we spent a quite day yesterday reading and watching t.v while eating pastries and cupcakes. I'm sure that will all change very soon now i'm at work.  ::)

and of course they want you to have experience, but how do you get any unless somebody hires you. it's a tough cycle, but someone will hire you, just keep your eyes and ears open.

I just heard this morning that Elizabeth's friend needs to have radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy for about a year.

Is there anywhere you can do a period of volutary work for? I know it's a bummer cos you don't get paid, but it gives you the vital experience employers clamour for and it looks good on your C.V (resume).

I've done the internship search, but no ad agencies are looking for any right now.  In fact, I don't even think I've seen any for marketing firms.  I'm not giving up hope, it's just so damn frustrating.

Actually, it's more analogous to Kids R Us, which SM mentioned above.


I wonder if either store evolved from Toys R US??
ummmm.....both of them did, hence the "R Us" in the name ::)  Toys 'R' Us is mostly toys, while Kids 'R' Us & Babies 'R' Us focuses mostly on clothing.  They all have things like diapers, strollers, stuff like that.

I'm feeling blah..sick in my stomach. :-\\

Scrubbing sh.it (or being a shi.t tart as I affectionatly refer to them) would indeed give you the inclination to bust ass.

Not feeling very good. As soon as Jason's naptime rolls around, I'm zonking out.

I also feel bad because I was supposed to take the little man to the library for storytime, but I feel like I'm going to hurl. Not that he cares. He hates other kids. :P

No I haven't Gis.All she wants in this relationship is a good solid job that can help me and help the both of us so maybe one day in the future Her And I can get an aprtment together but that could take many years.I can't see her and I being married but I think just maybe with a little help and support Her And I can scrap up some money to get a small apartment cause I think we both need the independence.All our lives It has been tough for the both of us living with our parents.Me for 32 years and her 27.I'm hoping this could get done not now but years from now.

I think basically this is coming from HER parents.

But this temporary separation is ridiculous.Is she afraid that she doesn't want to be seen with an unemployed boyfriend? She's been a big help up to now and I appreciate everything that she's did for me like encouraging me to fill out applications,giving me the motivation that I needed and some support here and there.But all this punishment is getting us nowhere.Maybe I need to talk to her either over the phone or the next time I see her again whenever that'll be.I want us to have a good life not a bad one.

Seriously, though.  If this is how she "punishes" you, what is she going to do IF you ever end up "together" in an apartment?  When things get rough is she going to run back home to mommy & daddy and leave you stuck with the bills and everything?  I know it's easier said than done because you have a history and are in your "comfort zone" with her, but it's really not healthy to be in a relationship like this and you have to get out of it.  Not just temporarily, either.  You have bent over backwards trying to please her and all she does is sh!t on you if you don't do exactly as she says.  It's not like you got fired because you goofed off or something like that, they simply didn't have enough work for you to do.  It happens.  It's happened to me and almost everyone I know.  Some day mommy and daddy aren't going to be around to tell her what to do and what is she going to do then? ???

Bravo, bravo, bravo. 



My doggie has conjunctivitis.  :(  My sister and I had to rush him to the vet at 8:30 this morning because his eye was real red and it had a discharge of some kind.  Fortunately it's treatable and we have stuff to give him, but that gave us quite a scare.

He handled himself well.  Whenever he has appointments at the vet, our dad takes him in the Land Rover, but my sister and I had had to take him in her car....which is considerably smaller.  He behaved like a little gentleman, so we had no problems.  Neither my mom, sister nor I noticed what was wrong with his eye, but my dad did.  He told my sister to go over there after class to see when this week we could get him in, but as soon as we told the vet what was going on, the vet said we had to bring him over ASAP.  \

He's a trooper.  :)

glad to hear it, sounds like he had the very best care available.

He does.  This animal hospital is great.....the vets are super-friendly and the staff that work there are really nice.  Our cat is really, REALLY skittish around strangers.  If you come up to her, she'll hiss and then run and hide.  Dr. Kennedy (the kitty doctor) is the only person outside our immediate family she'll let touch her.  It's weird.  My dad's best friend, who catsits whenever we go out of town, can't get near her, but the vet can.  Cats are so strange sometimes. 

We did get admonished for his weight, though.  He weighs 80 lbs and he's supposed to weigh near 60.  So, all of us are getting more exercise....my sister and I are taking him walking in Webb Bridge Park every day.

Heh... When my cat got conjunctivitis, we ended up having to put it to sleep. 6 months of suffering, basically.

Mama,It's really hard for me to get out of this relationship.I'm just so fixiated on her,I don't know what to do.I was just thinking the very same thing that what if we did get an apartment together and wound up having major problems What if her mother and father aren't there is she going to run to her younger or older sister maybe her best friend,god only knows,I've never lived with her before,It's kind of scary since We've been living with our Parents all our lives.We both want this relationship to work but what is she gaining from all this doing the punishment routine on me? I don't know about you and Sister but you might be mad at me but I'm going to get myself situated first and then when the time's right,her And I will date again,whenever that'll be.

:( Sad for a friend.

November sucks balls.

Matt just called me and I broke into tears. I miss him so much. He started his new job Sunday and the hours are so crappy, I'll only be able to see him Thurs-Sat. But he might come over tonight around 3am. That makes me happy.

I should be doing my English rough draft right now.

I had a bad day at "school" today. Almost had to walk home, but Shawn and her boyfriend Nick (whom I've been trying to avoid because I'm nothing but a bum to them) were like, "No, we'll take you home." Every night when I get home, I can see that my 3 year old cousin Leianna, AKA the Beast, has been in there screwing with my stuff. I can't ever have anything beause she's getting into it and/or breaking it. I have no door, by the way. I've been beating my laptop because I'm so damn angry. I used to cut (yeah, I don't care who knows, that's all over with), but the idea sounds very tempting right now. But Matt would see and I'd hate myself forever and ever amen.

I've been yelling at people for mostly no apparent reason, and I'm too pissed to say sorry right now. You know who you are.

We were talking about out majors on my first Year Connections class tonight, and it made me realize that I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Well, I do, but my goal is too far-fetched to ever reach it. I'll never write books and be an editor for SPIN magazine. Great, I can hear the laughing.

I like your far fetched goal and don't see it as impossible. I had wanted to be a writer of fiction or biographies and never did, but I'm glad I at least wanted to. hang in there Ashley, you've probably heard this but it's a good saying and comes in handy. some days are better than others.

Heh... When my cat got conjunctivitis, we ended up having to put it to sleep. 6 months of suffering, basically.
I'm baffled, how on earth does having conjunctivitis end up in euthanasia? it's very contagious but it's not life threatening, I'm assuming the cat's immune system was shot and he/she developed other things?

I hate credit card companies >:( >:(  Just as an FYI, don't screw up and pay even $1 short of your balance if you don't want to be charged interest on the previous charges (twice) AND any additional charges until your next payment is due (i.e. no grace period).  According to my credit card company, if you don't pay your balance IN FULL each month, not only are you charged interest on the remaining balance that isn't paid, you're also charged interest on the amount you DID pay as well as interest on all new charges (even if it's before they're due).  >:(

That varies from company to company.  My husband got caught with the same thing when he paid the deposit on his car.  He paid off half but got charged interest on the full amount.  "It's in the small print"

Thanks, Mike. I just noticed that I only write in these Feel Any Way threads when I'm really sad or frustrated. I need to start writing good things...


I lost 5 pounds. That's good news to me!

The thing that really pisses  me off about all of this is I pay the account online and always use the "pay statement balance" option, but somehow my payment was short so it obviously was a problem with THEIR system ???

I suggested more money, instead I was given the option of working 7 days a week. Working 7 days a week on top of going to school 5 days a week isn't going to happen. I'd like to remember my youth as at least a semi-enjoyable period in my life. Now I have to really start looking for a new job by the end of this month. I like it here, but it just doesn't pay enough.

In the long run, Beth...it will be a better decision. ;)

I was talking with my therapist this morning and I was telling her that I call Robin every day but If her And I are separated temporarily and we still call each other every day then you would say that we're still dating in a way.She was thinking that If I called her once a week then I would give Robin a chance to miss me.Talking to her every day when there's really not much to say.Maybe it's best for me to call her once a week to keep her updated with me.I was just thinking about that.

You wanna know what kind of person Tim is? Beth was scheduled to work for my WEDDING RECEPTION...and he absolutely refused to work for her, as did everyone else there (Jay wasn't there at the time)....so guess what? Beth had to miss my wedding reception. What a loser jerk. >:( :(

I hate krispy kreme. I don't know why everyone raves about them. It's like eating pure sugar. You might as well get the sugar container and dump it in your mouth.

Now Dunkin' Donuts is another story. They've got great donuts. Their coffee sucks though, as do their Dunkin' Deli sammiches.

nope...I never did like them. We didn't have them around here for a long time...then when everyone here found out that one was coming to our area....the place was packed like all day/night long (this was only about 4 years ago)....they used to be open 24 hours...then business started dying down...so they went to being open only during the day...now I just heard that they are closing down and being replaced by a Chik-Fil-A restuarant. :D

I freakin' LOVE that place! We have one in our mall...but this is the first one around here that is in its own store (without being in the mall). The closest one like that is in Pittsburgh.  Their waffle fries are really good....mmmm, now I am craving it! LOL! ;D

Do you mean plain as in just glazed or plain as in regular cake donuts?  Because cake donuts are different than yeast donuts.  Cake donuts are heavier and yeast donuts are lighter.

Thank you Beth.

I'm not a fan of yeast donuts... Krispy Kreme are.. ok. Ya know, if somebody gets me one I'm not gonna turn my nose up at it. But! But.. they can't compare to a heavy.. almost bagel like donut, with the sprinkles.. oohh glimeny the sprinkles.

Aye, in for a discussion tonight.. didn't really do anything severe, but it's something that upset my parents. Rather not get into it.. but I haven't done anything horrible or wrong. Hopefully, it'll just be a good and brief discussion.

My job coach and I are still working on the applications to Babies R Us and Dee Dee's so hopefully within the next week or 2,It'll get done and I'll be able to see Robin again whenever that'll be.

Well, if it takes him more than 10 minutes to fill out a job application, I'd say "a brain."  Geez, have your parents help you fill it out if it's that difficult.

thanks, people just need to understand how to ask you in a way that you'll respond too  ;)

I have no idea where you are, where you've been or where you are going  ???


Don't know where I'm going, got no way of knowing, driving on the road to nowhere.

Where I'm heading I don't know, but I'm shoving off and I hit the road, anywhere I'm going there, I'm going nowhere, time and time and time again I'm a motopsycho.... and I'm coming home to..?

I'm slightly annoyed right now.  One of the kids hit my glasses the other day and it cut me a bit right by my left eyebrow and I think it's now infected as there's a lovely "bubble" going from there to my inner tear ducts.  Needless to say, my eye looks deformed and I can feel the swelling when I blink :-\\

Haul ass to the opthamologist immediately.  Never f*ck around with anything pertaining to the eye.  If you can't get there, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and go straight to the ER.

I'd agree with this.

I've performed surgery on my foot, my mouth and my nose. However.. eyes and ears aren't something that can be messed with.

I'm going to Health Services when I get to school today.  I called my opth and the earliest I could get in was Tuesday.

Depending on what Health Services tells you, they may send you to the ER anyway before your appointment on Tuesday.  Let me know how everything turns out.  :)

I'd prefer to not engage in such extracurriculars with board members, if you get my drift.  Bad vibes.

That's possible.  I am known the world over.

Can anyone explain who is is please?



It's Molly Shannon, who used to be on "Saturday Night Live".....she played the character of Jeannie Darcy, a mullet-toting stand up comic.  One of her famous lines was, "Don't even get me started"....quite funny, to say the least. ;D

I feel pretty good, my daughter scored a 99 out of 102 on her PALs testing (Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening), she's reading some books on her own, I can't believe they learn so much in Kindergarten these days. My son (who is almost 3) is a Spanish whiz (I know I'm probably exaggerating, but I'm a proud momma), he has Spanish one day a week at school and he is the only kid in the class who will actually sit with the teacher and repeat everything she says.  He was saying "Adios" to everyone the other day when we were leaving.  Too cute!!  :)

Howard, maybe you should consider getting yourself another job coach....one that will actually HELP you. ???



I like him because he has connections to many different places and he's been placing his clients where they feel most comfortable like Babies R Us and other department stores.At least he's helped me get the job at Au Bon Pain that's a good thing.

true, but he seems to be taking an awfully long time in getting you hooked up with another job, or at least some interviews. I'm sure there are many other qualified job coaches that could get you a job quicker. ;)

Well, if it takes him more than 10 minutes to fill out a job application, I'd say "a brain."  Geez, have your parents help you fill it out if it's that difficult. 



Our session is about an hour or maybe a little more than a hour and we sit down and talk about different jobs and my likes and dislikes plus what I'm capable of doing.It's not difficult,I guarantee you Mama

yeah true and I've had him almost a year now and he had to almost rush to get me the job at Au Bon Pain to save my relationship.Some job coaches are faster than others and some are slower than others.You just have to deal with them.

would it be a difficult task to find another one, Howard? ???

I went to fix the trouble I've been having with getting my EBT card today and I found out that I no longer have the same case worker, the one I have is at a different place than where I applied.

I feel like destroying.....

Thanks!!  :)

I'm pretty effin' pissed right now. Vaughn was outside playing in the backyard, and our loser punk neighbor and his loser friends decide to go outside and smoke pot. Our houses are very close together and are only separated by a fence....the smell was so strong, it was as if he was sitting there puffing it in my face.  What a jerkoff...he saw that Vaughn was outside, and it didn't even matter.  Damnit...I wanna move. >:(

I've having a pretty good week but my weekend will be boring. :(
I miss my job and miss Robin :(

You ought to have either told them to butt the f--k out and do that somewhere else or just called the Mothafudgein' Law on their collective ass.

Just have a talk with them. No need to get rash and involve the law.

If it's a recurring problem, that's the only thing you CAN do sometimes.

They shouldn't be smoking pot to begin with.. and from what Quirk said, this isn't the first time this has happened.

That sucks!!  I would have called the cops!!

People who smoke pot in front of a child don't seem like the type that would react well to a neighbor talking to them about their drug habit.

Amen and amen.

It makes me mad...I mean, if they want to smoke pot..then fine, but please do it their HOUSE, not outside where you can smell it SOOO strongly. And the fact that they knew that Vaughn was outside playing...that's what made it worse. And yes, they do it quite often...this wasn't the first time I've seen them doing it...actually I am almost positive that my neighbor is the neighborhood dealer, I've seen some fishy stuff around here. It's a shame too...we have a really nice neighborhood ....it's just our luck that we are stuck by jerks on both sides of us. We seriously want to try to move within the next few years.... I don't wanna live here forever.

I won't get the law involved because our neighbors are azzholes...they tried to start crap with us when we first moved in, and now we just ignore each other...so I don't know what they are capable of if I would happen to turn them in...but, if they do it again, I think I will say something to him (although, he HAD to hear me bitching today...I was QUITE loud) ;D.

Whoa, Patrick has friends..?


Anyway, that's horrible. You should have said something to them, however, I don't think that would have mattered.

Ya, I looked over and there were these 2 skanky looking hoes with Patrick...then they went back to the "infamous" shed and about 2 minutes later....all you could smell was weed....so all 3 of them were probably puffing away.  You are right though...I could probably say something and it wouldn't even matter....he's not the smartest cookie in the bunch. ::)

Satruday morning has become my time for a good film Noir.  I's almost always Orson Welles (fine by me!) and today it's Janet Leigh and Charlton Heston.  the guy that played "The Professor" on Gilligan's Island is in it too.  6,7,8 in the morning is great for movies.

Our session is about an hour or maybe a little more than a hour and we sit down and talk about different jobs and my likes and dislikes plus what I'm capable of doing.It's not difficult,I guarantee you Mama
Howard, you don't seem to understand what Quirk & I are saying......you need someone who is going to do more than "talk" about jobs.  You've been "talking" about the BRUs job for what, a month or so now and STILL have not filled out an application?  Yes, he got you the ABP job, but how long did it take him to do that?  All job coaches have "connections", that's why they're job coaches.  You need to find a different one who's going to get you a new job in a few weeks, not  a few months.  Heck, you could walk into BRUs today, fill out an application on your own and get the job quicker than it seems HE'S working.  I certainly hope you're not paying him for his services.....if you are, you're getting screwed....

I'd just call the cops "anonymously".  If you explain to them (the cops) that you're afraid of what they might do to you, they should be understanding and not tell them who called.

I feel sleepy now, so I'm going to bed. 'Night everyone!

I understand what you're saying Mama.The problem is that I put my fate and I rely on too many people to get the job done and that's why there's hardly any progress.Friends and Family lately have been asking me if my job coach has been helping me and I say yes,He Is,He's doing the best that he can.Right Now,He wants to make sure I know what I want to be doing in either Dee Dee's(a small department store near me)or Babies R Us which is a bus away.He also wants to make sure I'm articulate in the job interview without stumbling and to make a good impression on the employer.Last year I told him that I had a deadline because of Robin and he wound up getting me the job at ABP in about a month or so but this time I don't want him to rush because I'm in no hurry to get back into the relationship right now.I'm going to get myself situated then when I feel I'm ready,I'll call Robin,she'll tell her family and friends that her doofus boyfriend got another job but who knows If this time around they'll be impressed.I'm hoping that I don't have to show them another paycheck just like I did with ABP which was very embarassing for me.See I had Robin on a string thinking that ABP was going to turn into full time but nothing happened and she kept telling her Family that Howard's doing good,I believe him and having faith in me.This time around I want us both to support each other for the good times and bad no matter what.Her And I will get back together I promise that I'll not quit and put up a white flag,I'm going to fight for us a comfortable life that the both of us could live in without hardly any harm or injury and that's the truth. ;)

Howard, you're such a nice guy. It's so plainly obvious that you're really trying hard to impress Robin and make sure she is happy and that's admirable, you have my respect pal. But one thing I gotta say to you.. are you doing what you want to do? Is what you're doing making you happy?
Are there any jobs that YOU would like to do, not just a job so you can prove to Robin that you have one?

I've got nothing against the plant, but the law is the law. You can't selectively obey.


I knew I didn't like you.

I mean folks like you, you'd probably throw Davey and I in the slammer for smoking grass, but I'm willing to bet you're more than happy to pop anti-depressants like candy. The hell with you.

Okay.... bend.. further.. further... there. The large stick should be sliding out of your ass shortly.

Oh, alright, sorry, now marijuana is totally acceptable. I forgot that there are professionals who go to school for 8-12 years to prescribe cannibis that's totally acceptable under the laws of our nation. Those guys just slipped my mind. They, who certainly exist, enable all of your opinions.

You know, while I'm at it, I don't like our nation's laws on murder and rape. I think I'm going to go find a stranger, f--k them and kill them.

I mean, people like you would probably be more than happy to throw me in the slammer for killing people, but I'm willing to bet you're more than happy to execute people like me. The hell with you.

That's a horrible example. Weed doesn't really harm anyone. How could you possibly compare smoking weed to raping and murdering someone?

That's a horrible example. Weed doesn't really harm anyone. How could you possibly compare smoking weed to raping and murdering someone?


It was deliberately a horrible example.. I used exaggeration of his logic to demonstrate that it doesn't make sense on a more serious scale, so it's a faulty logic.

It doesn't matter if it harms anyone, it's AGAINST THE LAW. I personally don't care what one person does with their own life and their own body, as long as they respect the laws of the place they're engaging in these acts in.

I think the contect of the subject of smoking weed started because some irresponsible people were doing it around a child. Totally unacceptable and i got no tolerance for that. If people are gonna smoke weed & get high, then do it privately away from where neighbors or bystanders may be exposed to it. That is tolerable for me, even if it is against the law. Many things are against the law, yet we break them every day. The speed limit is 65 on our freeways yet I breaK that law almost every day. I would say that easily 90% of the people I used to get high with used all kinds of other drugs, & I know if I hadn't started smoking pot, chances are I wouldn't have tried any of the others. When I go to a rock concert, I expect the 2nd hand smoke exposure from pot, that's part of the concert culture & behavior for many and I don't complain. There was a time when I was about 18-19 when I was 100% an advocate and supporter of legalized marijuana but I am not now. I know what it does, why it's used and what the long term results of prolonged uses are and the negatives outweigh the positives. just don't do it around kids.  ""Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee""".












(                  oh yeah, if i were a judge I'd throw Alex & Andy in the same cell together so they could be ass-buddies 




just kidding  ;D

You raise a good argument here, actually. I really hadn't thought of it that way, and it's sort of exposed somewhat of a layer of hypocrisy in my "The Law is The Law" statement that I hadn't realized.

I'm still not for the use of drugs.. altering the consciousness to have a good time is so dreadfully uncreative, and too many people try to enable it like it's a perfectly acceptable behavior. I stand by my statement that there is a fine line between prescription anti-depressants and marijuana, though, because my original argument there still holds up, people are trained to prescribe those drugs for years. But using a general, unspecific substance (something that just makes you giggly and relaxed if you smoke it compared to something that's been tested as a way to inhibit or induce certain chemical reactions to change brain chemistry and eliminate or generate certain emotions) to treat depression, boredom, stress, etc... is pathetic in my book. If anyone has a good reason that they're lighting up, feel free to tell me and I'll back down from this standpoint as well.

Actually, there are about 12 states that currently allow marijuana use for medical purposes.  The "purposes" vary from state to state, but the common ones are cancer & multiple sclerosis.  Some states even allow it for severe migraines (for which I would qualify if my state allowed med. mj use) and anorexia.  I've met a few people online through a cancer support group (my mom has terminal cancer) who use it regularly to offset the side effects of chemotherapy as well as their lack of appetite when not receiving chemo.

That being said, I have to agree with someone who says "it should be legal NO MATTER WHAT."  I certainly wouldn't want my kids around someone who was smoking it and I wouldn't want to be either (it gives me a migraine).

alcoholic beverages can give a relaxed feeling and it's legal. Seriously, and speaking from experienjce I used weed, alcohol and everything else I could get my greedy little mitts on just so i wouldn't have to feel anything and I loved that buzz feeling of booze & weed, but I didn't want to lose the level I was at, so I smoked more and drank more in order to sustain it until it became habitual. What if marijuana is legalized, what will your opinion of it be then? I'm not sure about my own because i see abuse of the system just for personal usage instead of medical treatment. Prescribed antidepressants and therapy can work wonderfully for some people and I'm all for legalzed medical treatment that helps a person recover and get better from illness, physical or mental.


Actually, there are about 12 states that currently allow marijuana use for medical purposes.  The "purposes" vary from state to state, but the common ones are cancer & multiple sclerosis.  Some states even allow it for severe migraines (for which I would qualify if my state allowed med. mj use) and anorexia.  I've met a few people online through a cancer support group (my mom has terminal cancer) who use it regularly to offset the side effects of chemotherapy as well as their lack of appetite when not receiving chemo.

That being said, I have to agree with someone who says "it should be legal NO MATTER WHAT."  I certainly wouldn't want my kids around someone who was smoking it and I wouldn't want to be either (it gives me a migraine).
well said, if it helps a seriously ill person, than i am for that but for medical treatment only.

If it were legalized, I'd still be against it. I'm against alcohol as well.. altering the consciousness for any reason other than a severe medical condition (such as the severe pains associated with cancer, glaucoma, etc.), I just don't find acceptable. I don't look down on people who do these things, I just feel they should respect the law if they're going to. Weed is against the law, accept in situations like:

These situations, where it has a valid reason and is legal, I think it's perfectly fine. As long as we don't start passing it out to everyone with a headache or a bad day, what's described in the above quote seems fine.

No rule is ever absolute. I just feel that in the circumstances described that started this argument (some guy using drugs recreationally in his backyard, which is what I assume because I really doubt that some cancer patient that lives next to Erin got all his other friends with cancer together and they all decided to light up in the backyard), altering the consciousness isn't acceptable.

I have said many times that I am for the legalization of marijauna. It is no worse than alcohol. As MamaK said, there are many medical conditions that it does help-with very few side effects like some prescription drugs do. And yes, I will admit that I have fired up a few times in my day.

That being said, I would NEVER fire up in front of a child. I don't even fire up my cigarettes (which are legal) in front in children.

Right.

Now Andrew dosen't like things that alter your state of consciousness.... fair enough. But hey, here's my point.
I've smoked a lot of grass and have never ever ever done anything more than fall over. Now.. I've drank a heck of a lot and I've got violent, made passes at people, got in fights, destroyed things. Seems to me, at least in my own experience, it's a lot better for me to spark up a joint than drink a bottle of vodka.

Very true. Many people get very violent when they drink. I have never seen anyone who was stoned get violent. Many people don't realize this but I'm not sure what the stats are on how many people died of alcohol related deaths (I knew someone that said on his death certificate "Fatal Intoxication"-not a pretty sight). But there has been NO pot related deaths-zero, zilch, nada!

Exactly.

How is it.. that something that's never killed anybody, something that grows in the ground, something that relaxes and sends people to sleep.. how is that illegal? Yet pills that give 80 year old guys massive hard on's are readily available?

It began as a very racial issue. Mexicans were getting stoned and the "white man" didn't want it to seep into "society" during Prohabition. Then once Prohabition was over, the liquor companies didn't want it legalized (still don't) because it would eat into their profits.

I saw a quote about this one time.. "There are pills available today, perfectly legal, which have side effects including death. They can KILL you. All weed does is make you hungry, sleepy and happy."

I'd just call the cops "anonymously".  If you explain to them (the cops) that you're afraid of what they might do to you, they should be understanding and not tell them who called.



that's a good idea Kim...thanks! :)

I mean folks like you, you'd probably throw Davey and I in the slammer for smoking grass, but I'm willing to bet you're more than happy to pop anti-depressants like candy. The hell with you.



not at all...I don't care if you smoke pot, or do any other sort of drug....as long as is isn't around my child.  That is where I draw the line. If my neighbors want to engage in drug use...that's fine by me....but once they do it around my child, where it is close enough that I can smell it as if the person was right next to me...that's when it is not right. ;)

Erin that wasn't directed at you. :)

It was directed at Herr Goebbels.  >:(

I made progress on my paper today...it's not totally done yet. The rough draft is due on Tuesday at 8 AM.

I feel horrible because in attempting to download Itunes onto our new computer so Julie could use her Ipod mini, I think i accidently erased her files, almost 500 songs and she's pissed off at me, but I'm sure her music library is on the old computer so I'm gonna try to migrate it back on. wish me luck

This November has been pretty depressing for me. I spent the frst day of the month off college because I was ill with a cough. Two days later a resident called Claire who moved out of my house for a while to go to hospital visited and she kept shouting, which really frightened and upset me.

The following weekend was chilled because a resident called Anita who also frightens me was at her mother's house for the weekend. I had a service user's meeting on 10th November and Anita went ballistic and yelled because she felt that she was being accused for things that she didn't do.

I spent the last weekend in tears because on the Saturday I put my Boots bag on the floor and the bottle of medicine inside it smashed. Luckily Natalie (my key worker) bought me another one. Yesterday morning I was correcting my Christian Dior essay when Anita made some silly, screaming, parrot-like noises. That really put me off my work. I was shaken and upset, but Natalie came in my room to comfort me and later on she took me for a drive to take another resident to the Victoria and Albert Museum.

It was directed at Herr Goebbels.  >:(


The Nazi Propaganda Minister? Or do you mean the composer, or the politician? Either way, I don't get it.

Davey,I'm trying to do what I need to do right now.I thought that at first what Robin's expectations were in 2004 was for me to get a job to stay in the relationship and that's just what I did but then I had thought to myself months later that she doesn't really love me,she loves for me to get a job.So,where's the love/support in this relationship? Girlfriends or Boyfriends are supposed to respect YOU not what you have or whether you're employed or unemployed.She's living the old fashioned way.I'll love a girl whether she's unemployed or not,I wouldn't care.It's being together that counts.

What I would like to do is porter maintainence,stock,retail or clerical right now.I never had a long term permanent job just something that'll keep me busy all day and this time I'm going to prove to myself that I can keep my job and hold it and know that I can be confident in what I'm doing. ;)

Howard, the way I see it, you have nothing to prove.  You didn't do anything wrong to "lose" the previous job.  There wasn't enough work, it happens to the best of us.  There was nothing you could have done about it.  I had a job for about 6 years.  I worked my way up from data entry to being a team leader.  The company decided to downsize and consolidate our department into 1 office so I lost my job.  There was nothing I could have done about it other than move to New York, which was not an option because hubby's job was here.

I'm rather annoyed right now.  I tried to use my debit card on Saturday at a local grocery store (they don't take credit cards and I didn't have my checkbook) and it was declined because it was expired.  I just called the bank and they are going to have to issue me a new one (hubby got one but I didn't) which is going to take 10 days or so >:(

Ah, in Europe now, nevarmind.

Well, I shouldn't have HAD to renew it, the bank should have automatically renewed it (as I said, hubby got a new one, but I didn't) and sent me a new one.  I also didn't realize it had an expiration date since I just used it the other day at the ATM machine at the bank and it worked just fine.  Supposedly, it expired in August and I KNOW I've used it at the ATM since THEN, it just won't work as a debit card ::)

I guess it had something to do with a change in policy....they used to give cards with the same # to everyone on a particular account.  They no longer can have more than 1 card with the same # active at any time so that's why we only got 1.  Since hubby's name is first alphabetically, that's why he got it and I didn't.  Now, noone still knows why I didn't get one under a new #, though ???

Well my husband wasn't working when we first started going out.  And when I was expecting our second child he came quite close to being out of a job through no fault of his own.  It would have been difficult for a while but we would have coped.

I finally got my EBT card problem straightened out! They gave me one while I was down there.

'How is that a pre-req, I'm already on the upper class courses for poli-sci?'
"Yes, but the state requires..."
'Ya know what.. I'll get back to you later.'


URGH! There are people in this world.. who despite all the pieces of paper they have.. are fuc.king idiots. I call them academics. Bunch of pricks, I defy them to get in the ring!

Well, in all fairness, the previous college DID stretch a bit when allowing it as it was a literature class and not really a composition, but we did have to write 4 papers for it.  I suppose having to take 1 additional English class (in which I see no way I can get anything other than an A) is better than 2 additional French classes (in which I see no way I could possibly pass ;D)  Although, this is going to push back my linguistics class that I was going to take next semester....

Funny, they had no questions about approving my history classes, even though neither of them were even close to what I'm supposed to take ???

did i tell you my whole story about trying to satisfy a foreign language requirement to get my masters? i kept getting different stories from different bureaucrats about what the requirements were, i go this way and that, moving up the ladder, and finally meet with the dean of arts and sciences -- basically number 2 to president of the college -- and she's all, you know, i don't think ANYBODY knows what the requirements really are.

Of course they don't know. They don't live in the real world. That's the biggest thing stopping me going and finishing my degree, my hatred of the world of Academia. Useless pricks. They're whole lives are based on teaching somebody else to do their job.. then that person will teach somebody to do their job. It's an exercise in redundancy.

of course, life is also like that in general. we live to procreate, so that our offspring can procreate, thus creating the groundwork for further procreation. academia i think is there for those eureka moments, a lot of progress, innovation and discovery comes out of academia but unfortunately to get there we have to wade through all the crap, which is 99% of it, fer shurr.

Notice though.

All the MAJOR breakthroughs have come from seemingly ordinary people. The supposed academic geniuses seem to just refine things.

sorta. hume, galileo, kant, darwin, all academics -- at least of a kind. darwin i guess you'd say is a field academic. their contributions were pretty innovative. philosophy and literature are both ailing in the academy these days, i think, but academic philosophy, in particular, has a noble tradition.

i hold out cultural studies as our last great hope. even though a lot of it is degraded and annoying as hell, they seem to be the only folks out there actually trying to figure out the contours of life as it's actually lived today -- rather than assuming, as most seem to, that the everyday is meaningless merely by virtue of being commonplace...

Luckily, I have IN WRITING what the requirements are.  They have 2 options, 1 includes foreign language, 1 does not.  I simply have to take 2 additional courses (I think in "World Lit" i.e. works written originally in a language other than English) O0

The purpose of university academics is not to teach.


My point is that in so many fields the only purpose of getting in to them is to pass the information to somebody else. To teach is fine.. to teach what is essentially redundant is pointless.

Hahahahaha, a friend of my sister's who is male is coming over to bring her a sandwich (he works at Publix) and she FREAKING out and I am so capitalizing on that. 


Do you think I should introduce myself as his future sister-in-law?

You should walk down wearing a sheet and the biggest hat you own and bark at him like a dog.. then hug your sister and walk off.

That'll pretty ruin her for a couple weeks.

LOL!  She's making me stay locked up in the computer room for as long as he's here.  She's even cleaning her room and putting on makeup......this is too funny.

You'd already swapped all her makeup around right?

I wish I'd had a sister.. the stuff I could have done. Oh man.. so many ideas. Thankfully, lot's of my buddys growing up had older sisters.. which was wonderful. Firstly the propensity for mischief was huge.. secondly.. mmmm... friends older sisters. *drooool.*

She hides her makeup....that keeps my mom and I from taking it/borrowing it. 


And there were plenty of times when I hated having a sister, but things would be rather lonely if I didn't have her around.

Indeed.

I'd say I'd borrow her.. but.. that'd be A) A bit weird. B) Very Illegal. C) Not as much fun as when I was about 12 and D) I'd probably have to keep her heavily sedated otherwise she'd make a break for it.

Still.. you should do stuff like cut the straps of her dresses, cut halfway through the heels on her shoes, tangle up her necklaces.. stuff like that.

There was a time when I would have wanted to do that, seeing as we have a 5½ year age gap, but now that she's almost 19 and I'll be 25 next year, it's not that troublesome anymore. 

Le sigh

Yeah, it must be. Let's ask Howie about it.


Ask me about what?

Ask me about what?


Being a hermaphrodite I think.

Happy. I got the equivalent of a dental gold star at my check up today and I also got my hair cut which was driving me nuts.  :)

I'm not one

For some reason, I've been feeling rather tense today. :-\\

well, it looks like you might have a milestone coming up. could account for the tension. ;)

No, that's not it. It has nothing to do with that.

I miss having A job and I miss my woman... :(

No, that's not it. It has nothing to do with that.

I feel a little better now.

I'm feeling pretty good.  I've been doing a lot more work around the house this week, the holidays are coming up and I've lost weight.  Yahoo.

I had a good day today, however, I feel very depressed. :-\\

I've got a rather unpleasant point to address today, but if that goes smoothly, I'm looking at a very good day and weekend.

Feel crap.

This throat infection I've had for nearly a month now has got worse. My whole throat swelled up over night.. now the antibiotics I've got have a bunch of nasty side-effects but they're the only thing I can have because everything else is Penicillin based.

It's only 7:00 am....but this day doesn't look that great as of now. :-\\

Really scared. I'm starting a new job today.

There should be a few options for you.  My 2 youngest are both allergic to "cillins" and there's a few that they can take.  Ask for Zithromax, that usually kills anything (although one of mine is allergic to that too :-\\)

Has the doc taken a throat swab yet?  they just prescribe broad spectrum stuff like Erythromycin at first but perhaps you need something more specific now.

I'll be thinking about you today Beth...I hope your first day goes great! :) Talk to you later.

Yeah, he got some crap off my throat and gave me 500mg Erythromycin.. take 2 at a time.. so 1000mg. That much has errrr.. side effects.

With the NHS.. you don't really ask for anything. They give you what they have and you say thank you.  ;D

Is there something you're not telling us

"It is also used to treat outbreaks of chlamydia, syphilis, acne and gonorrhea"

In me thoughts... I'm sure it goes fine!

As far as I'm aware, I have none of the above. If I do.. I'm gonna have some phone calls to make.

I've been typing with one hand. No, not because I'm doing THAT. ;D

My right arm is killing me again. So I've been moving the mouse with my left hand and stuff. It's SO much fun. :P

My apartment was burglarized yesterday, I need to ^&*@ing move somewhere else.

I'll be thinking about you today Beth...I hope your first day goes great! :) Talk to you later.



Yeah, So.. It sucks. I practically dove into the doors of Cash-In Culture. I've never been so happy to see this place in my life.




Hopefully it will get better.. =/

that sucks rather badly. did they get anything of value? are you insured?

49 DVDs and 1 game(the one that was a replacement from the previous break-in), but that was all that was taken, because all of it wasin a bag, conveniently were they could get to it(which wasn't my intention, of course), nothing else of value was. It's all because my &*#$ing neighbors are too damn lazy to lock the outside door(or stole it themselves).

Unfortunatly, I can't afford renters insurance at the moment.

Again? Can't you get a good locking system?

I'm having a pretty good day.This weekend I'm hanging out with a friend and I'm going bowling with a group of people and trying to take my mind off of Robin for a while.

Again? Can't you get a good locking system?


The apartment is part of an old house, the whole thing needs to be fixed severely. Anyway, is most likely the same people again(since the radio wasn't touched. I know they checked to see if the CD player radio worked the first time. It doesn't work).

I generally find it hard to move the mouse with my left hand, and that's because I'm right handed!

This afternoon I had a nasty headache which may have been stress-induced...but I'm all better now! O0

Where are you working now? Did you go see Big Fat Jimmy at the strip club I told you about? I had a word with him, he say's as long as you can bring in $500 a night he won't have Vinnie knock the snot out of you.

Stress, brought on by the failing boards?

Well I guess you are treating them at the same time anyway if you have.  ;D

Sorry to hear that. It's very common for a repeat visit unfortunatly. They give you just enough time to replace everything and then come back for the new stuff.  >:(

Feel bored.

I feel great.  My dad and I are raking leaves this afternoon and my sister and I are going out tonight when she gets back from Canton.

Feeling annoyed. ::)

Well, I didn't replace the most expensive stuff and only one of the replacement items got taken because it was with the other things that got swiped.

I feel freaking awesome right now............I just got a letter from my friend Marie who just got her dream job working as a news journalist in Richmond!  As soon as she can come back down here, we're going to the Sundial. 

I feel like sh*t.

It feels like Sunday on a Saturday afternoon. Thats bad. :(

I went to Kohl's and bought a pair of Lee Black-colored jeans that was on sale for $19.99 and tomorrow I'm going bowling with a group of friends so maybe I'll take my mind off of Robin for a day to keep me busy.

Pretty chilled. Himself is away this weekend so I'm just chilling at home and watching a load of stuff I can't when he's here.  ;D

I'm feeling pretty good, except for my lower backache.

Do you guys use bumpers?   maybe they'll be some bowling alley babes to check out, that could take your mind off of you-know-who. 
...as for me myself, I feel fine.  8)

Stress, brought on by the failing boards?

Could've been....I started feeling bad at 1PM my time yesterday, which was roughly about what time the boards started going slower than mollasses. ::)

But I felt better seven hours later. :)

Big Fat Jimmy wasn't so kind, why did Beth get that talk but not me?!

Playing board games with my sister always puts me a great mood.

Neither of my parents' have a relationship of any kind with their siblings.  They're both the youngest and have an older brother.  So my sister and I don't want to let history repeat itself with us.

Sometimes Our group uses bumpers that's if the people need them but as for checking out babes,please don't tell me about them cause I don't want to know and I don't care right now.All I want to do is to have fun with everybody.

that's a marvelous idea, Howard.  I hope you have a blast bowling with your pals.


Thanks Erin. :)

Ugh, so yeah, I have tonsilitis and feel like crap.

Yesterday had it's moments, both good and bad. I've been having 2 almost ridiculously bad weeks, and I need a bit of actual time to recover/relax, but it's just not coming.

Also, my parents are trying to make me wait until May (I should be able in January) to get my license because I haven't driven this month due to work and school stuff. Yeah, that makes sense, miss one month, make up for it over the course of 4.

Ugh, so yeah, I have tonsilitis and feel like crap.
Are you taking those hot drinks?

My replacement at Cash-in Culture was interviewed last night (I'm only going to be working there 2 days a week from now on). I wanted to effing beat him over the head with a broomstick, and kick him the hell outta mah store... but.. damn, he's hot.

You should've made hot, passionate love right then and there.

I wish there was more going on here.

Er.. Sorry, Doms, I'm taken.

Er.. Sorry, Doms, I'm taken.


Tell that to your hot replacement!

Matt and I got into two arguments last night. TWO. And we've never ever fought before during the 2 and a half months we've been together. He's so perfect and it's not him doing anything wrong, it's me, I know. I don't think I deserve him.

I can't stop thinking about it.  :\'(

I've been having a run of bad luck with my own relationship.. just keep going, it'll pass. And if it doesn't, then it's better to end a relationship to avoid all this hurting.

Are you taking those hot drinks?


I am indeed. I just had a cup of tea with some scotch.

Yes, Erythromicin, Paramol and I found some Diazapam to knock my ass out later. Plus I'm drinking tea with scotch or brandy and I have the Albanian Gross Domestic Product's worth of throat losenges.

Rather not discuss on the open forum, but I'll talk to you on a Messenger or something.

Along with Cash-In Culture (Still can't seem to give that place up just yet.. ) I work at The Picture People... it's a photo studio (I'm sure you already figured that, though..). I just started, so I guess I can't write it off completely, but so far, it sucks. They're fine with working around my school schedule, so that's one good thing, I suppose.

It's great. It's the stuff that sniper dudes take to stop their hands shaking when they're about to slot somebody.

Eh, starts at $8 an hour. Yeah, right now I'm printing pictures and doing sales. After the holidays, they're training me to be a photographer.


And no, It's not a porno studio.. :P
