I hear you guys. My dad started dating and eventually married Mom's best friend to get back at her for divorcing him, stopped paying child support and buys her all kinds of crap and bought a sail boat a little while ago, yet tries to complain to me about being "broke".

A friend of mine is getting married next year so I've been looking at a lot of wedding stuff, and not that I'm planning on getting married soon it does bum me out that my dad's STILL so spiteful about my mom that I pretty much have no choice but to elope because there's no way he'd be civil at a wedding.

I never knew my father! HA.

Saya · 05-19-2013, 04:58 PM

But then who will give you away at the wedding?

Versus · 05-19-2013, 09:18 PM

Why, God? Why would you do this?

I asked for a doll that belonged to my Mum and my step dad said I could have it, IF I BUY IT FROM HIM!!!! Fucking outrageous shit right there.

Saya · 05-21-2013, 11:35 AM

WUUUUUUUUUT

PS MC I'm sorry I haven't written you back yet, I got your letter when I was working on a huge paper, then I had exams, and I just found your letter buried under all my books and notes. Writing now!

Your Step Dad is a bag of dicks. My head has been hurting for 3 days now....

I want to punch my microeconomics instructor in the face.

We got a parking ticket (parking in a no parking zone which is $100) because where we parked by the beach was no parking 30 minutes after sunset. We got to the car as the officer was writing the ticket at 8:50 (he wrote 8:55 cuz he was a dick). When we got home I checked the official time for sunset and it was 8:19 meaning we were literally a minute late, six according to his time although according to him sunset was at 7:40. Fucking hell I knew we should have moved the car back to the apartment after we unloaded everything, I will be arguing it (spirit of the law vs letter of the law plus the atmospheric distortion at the horizon causing the sun to appear a full degree higher than it is making sunset seem 5 minutes late and all that jazz) but gah is it annoying.

Oh and the best part he said that someone had called it in and so he had to give us a ticket, if he had just been driving through and seen our car he would have had some discretion. So basically one of our busybody neighbors saw young people having fun and had to put a stop to that, probably the same person who likes to call and complain about suspicious behavior when I occasionally go for a walk at night. Sometimes I hate this neighborhood.

My landlady is getting a divorce and her husband is moving into this house, so we gotta be out by August -_-* I hate moving. And St. John's is pretty bad for having few pet friendly places to live.

Jackson Cutler · 05-29-2013, 04:59 PM

relationship drama , that is all.

Solumina · 06-03-2013, 06:14 PM

Fucking wind blew the door closed on my fucking finger. Not only did my finger get smashed hard enough to bruise the bone (thankfully it doesn't seem to be broken) but also cut it the hell up. I guess my day was just going to damn well.

Fruitbat · 06-05-2013, 05:21 AM

Fuck!! I hate it when bad things happen to good people.

It's so hard to watch a close friend go through the whole hospital thing. I know what it's like and it's hard. Really hard and stressful, and I really wish I had a magic wand to take that stress away from them, but all I can do is offer love and support and be there for them when they need it and offer them everything I have to help them journey through it.

ape descendant · 06-05-2013, 07:17 AM

They found my friend's body. *bleh* I'm going to be hiding under my bed if any one needs me.

MissCheyenne · 06-05-2013, 08:55 AM

I'm so sorry Ape. Hugs and if you need to talk, drop me a PM

BourbonBoy · 06-05-2013, 11:13 AM

Holy shit Ape. Hugs and deepest condolences. I'm so very sorry to hear that.

Acharis · 06-05-2013, 09:01 PM

I'm really sorry Ape. *hugs*

Jaye Jang · 06-06-2013, 12:43 AM

Holy cow, Ape. That's horrible. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sol, I'm sorry about your hand. I've done that and crush injuries are so painful. Hope it's getting better.

Saya, hope you find another pet-friendly place ASAP. My landlady retired at my last place, so had to move under similar circumstances (2 whole pet-friendly complexes in my home town, both were full, had to move out of town). But, it's a roof.

Worried. Go through my employee assessment this upcoming week and have had computer issues through most of my shift last night and tonight (slowness, etc.). Last time I had to have the hard drive in to IT, my boss laid into me about it. Right now am sitting in the lounge, on my PC, waiting for IT to finish with my hard drive and hoping I can actually work out the rest of my shift tonight. My boss is going to be fit to be tied in the morning when she comes in. (Dreading the employee assessment. Here's hoping I still have a job this time next month).

Saya · 06-06-2013, 10:44 PM

I'm so, so sorry ape.

Solumina · 06-07-2013, 02:07 PM

I'm so sorry ape.

I think something is going on with Jodi, we missed the gym all week and when I asked if something was going on she said everything was fine but everything doesn't feel fine. Her husband has also been finding excuses to avoid some of his extra duties at work (like he is supposed to lead PT but he has been having Jake do it and he has been phone mustering instead of being there in person, little things that you wouldn't notice if it happened once but it has been every day this week). She just recently got pregnant and there are some health concerns so I don't know if there is something going on that she just doesn't want to talk about. I know that they haven't always had the healthiest relationship so I don't know if that's the issue. I'm concerned (and on a selfish note I want to have my workout routine back) but we're just gym buddies not really close friends so I don't know how to help without being intrusive or pushy.

Jackson Cutler · 06-08-2013, 10:30 AM

Holy shit, My condolences.

Catch · 06-08-2013, 01:34 PM

Condolences Ape. It all sounds horrible.

Miss Absynthe · 06-09-2013, 03:36 AM

@Solumina - with regards to your friend.. I've found that saying to someone "you know, you don't seem to be feeling yourself lately.. which is completely fine, I just wanted you to know that if you want to talk, or if there is anything that I can do at all, you just have to say something - no explanation needed."

I've had people take me up on it, and people not take me up on it but tell me a while later that it was really helpful to just know that they had support if they needed it.

@Ape - I'm really sorry that you're going through that. I hope that you are able to find some time to be gentle with yourself.

ape descendant · 06-12-2013, 10:14 PM

Thanks guys. I usually avoid funerals like the plague, but went to hers. I feel so bad for her family, she was one of the kindest and most generous people ever.

I hope you find a new place soon, that lets you have your pets, Saya.

ape descendant · 06-14-2013, 12:53 AM

... speaking of shit, fuck punk rock... heteronormative bullshit motherfucker die in a fire fuckers.
