    ^ Hope you're okay, what with collapsing an' all. And can't you contact the girl in some other way and arrange to meet up? She could visit you?

    You know when you think 'Right, I'm going to do this, this and this today' and then you only end up doing the first thing on the list? Yeah, that's what has happened basically. Not helpful when I have so many university assessments to do for next week. Oh well, I really need to stop procrastinating...

    My math teacher is absolutely demonic. She holds us in for the smallest thing, and makes us do work for even the easiest problem! >.<

    Contacting her now would be a bad move. Apparently she got with someone else on Saturday. Just been told about it. Gone from 'pissed off at myself' to 'pissed off at life in general'.

    Am really not happy right now--borderline mad. I found out tonight one of my good friends has decided to get back together with his crazy ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-girlfriend. They have gotten together and broken up more times than I can remember and I believe they've been engaged twice. And it always ends the same (she cheats & breaks up), but he NEVER learns. I really want to beat him over the head until he figures it out. Gah.

    I also learned that another good friend of mine is trying to make it work with his psychotic girlfriend who constantly lies, cheats, and acts irresponsible. I feel more compelled to convince him to drop her as there is a child in the middle of this one.

    I have not had a very good day. I think it needs to end now with me going to bed.

    You'll do great, Gigi. I know it :) Give us the heads up on the Happy Thread when you get your license.

    Aww, I'm sorry Annuniel. That sucks. I hope things get better. :(

    I´ve been in love with someone. I had a tough past and it´s hard for me to trust people. This girl she seemed so honest at the time, we could talk about anything I told her everything about my past and she always said that she loves me and that she stepped in my life because we´re meant to be together, we´ll never be apart...

    Everything was going great in my life we loved each other and I had many friends I was actually able to break the void that was filling my life...

    Some moments ago, I discovered that she loves her ex and I was a replacement "you were an experience because I wanted to see If I still loved my ex" those were hers words...

    I also had a very nice friendship with hers best friend but she told her that I love her and now she doesn´t talk to me.

    Everything seems out of place now, I´m afraid of trusting other people again :(

    Ray, that sucks. :(
    It's really unfortunate that she chose to end the relationship that way. You didn't deserve that. But if she is being honest, maybe it's for the better that it happened sooner than later?

    Imagine if she had strung you along until marriage? You'd be married to a woman who entered a relationship with you under a false pretext.

    Anyway, lack of trust and honesty seems to be the dividing force in a lot of relationships. If you're betrayed, you may not want to completely share yourself with the next person in fear of being betrayed again. But think about it: If you did that, now you would be the one inflicting pain on someone else because of something someone else did to you. Then you'd be entering into this vicious cycle.

    I wouldn't wish that on anyone, and I hope you will sort things out with this person and come away peacefully and/or find someone else who will allow you to open up again.

    I'm probably going to complain here a lot about my math teacher...

    Today, even though I got every problem right, she made me do the entire worksheet over again. Why? I didn't show my work because I did 99% of it in my head. The tiny bit I did on the paper apparently wasn't enough for her.

    Ray -- What a b*tch...I hate people like that. Really, the best way to heal is to focus on being secure as a single person, not on "finding the right person." I firmly believe that the only way to be happy in a relationship is if you're happy on your own first, not just clinging to the person you're with (I'm not trying to imply you were like that with this woman). Before I met my boyfriend I actually, staunchly did *not* want to be in a relationship at all because I'd seen too many people lose their independence. But when I met him, we just clicked because we have fun together, are both passionate about liberty, etc. And it never became an issue of "I'll give up my independence for you" (which was the attitiude held by others that turned me off of relationships), but rather "I love you because you support my independence." We've been together for over a year and things are great. So it's the biggest advice I can give you -- make sure you're whole, happy and secure as a single before entering a relationship.This way, you won't be inclined to take any crap from the person -- and, if they dump you, it won't hurt as much.

    ProwerGirl -- Eeeeeew. Mean math teachers. So glad those days are behind me. By the way, thanks for the questions for my character on the MC development clinic thread!!

    I second this. Dating someone purely to see if you still have feelings for your ex is a totally d*ck move, and I can't say I blame you for feeling the way you do...I think the best thing you can do is to take the time to heal and be happy just being you, without worrying about trying to trust anyone in that capacity. When someone comes along that you're ready to open up to, you'll know it. In the meantime, you have us to vent to. I'm really sorry she did that to you, it's seriously messed up. :(

    So furious! Yesterday all the parents with children in my sons class got a note home, they were the ONLY class to get the note sent home too mind you, about coughs...

    Whooping Cough is going around the town we live in, so I've got my kids on inner health plus and doing all I can to keep them healthy, but it doesn't work too well when you have half a class going to school with a bad cough... I've kept my son off because he coughed a couple of times this morning, but the teacher has literally said that there are children in the classroom who sound distinctively like whooping cough and have been at school for a week like this and they need to be kept off school and see the doctor.

    Best Parent of the Year Award goes to every damn one of them this year!

    I'm so furious! I have a 5 year old who has a lot of respiratory problems and prone to becoming seriously ill all the time. She has to go visit the Respiratory specialist team every 6 months until she is older. They have said it is highly likely she will end up with a permanent health problem is she gets sick too often, which will require a lifetime of medications to keep her alive basically. I don't want that to happen to her, but parents simply don't seem to give a flying f**k about anyone except themselves. If they can ditch their kids, then they are going to do it, even if it puts the well being of every other child at risk. Why should they care? F**king a-holes! I just want to punch them in the face.

    My daughter gets Whooping Cough and it will mean she is sent to Perth and will be put into hospital until she is better, because she won't be able to cope with it. Her lungs are far too weak to deal with it. I hate parents so much. I HATE THEM! Why are the so damn inconsiderate? Why don't they care? Why don't they realise that sending sick children to school is wrong? It doesn't take a f**king rocket scientist to know that you are to avoid people when you are sick, or have sick children, to stop things spreading. It's common f**king knowledge!

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!
    I'm in a very bad mood today and really want to go take it out on these thick, moronic, inconsiderate asshats. ><

    Wow, that's really terrible and inconsiderate of them.

    If this is something that happens a lot, maybe homeschooling might be an option? You say this is only til she's older, so she could go back to school in a few years when her health gets better. I was homeschooled for a few years in elementary - despite the rumors, it's NOT just the parent teaching the kid at home all day long. The curriculums are designed so the kid can work independently, and there's lots of ways to socialize your kids. When homeschooled, I was involved in community theater, swimming lessons, etc and I went to the park every day with other little girls in my neighborhood and we had sleepovers every weekend. :)

    What the hell is wrong with people? I hope Amity doesn't end up getting sick because of these irresponsible a-holes. :(

    Honestly, I want so much to do this with Amity, and I know I could do it quite easily, but at the same time... she loves school more than anything else. It's the only thing she finds immense pleasure in, she doesn't even like Ballet as much as she loves school. I know if I home-schooled her, she would never forgive me. Over school breaks, I basically home school her, because otherwise she goes crazy with boredom. It's not the playing with the kids she cares for, it's everything else about school, the environment, the classroom, the stimulation, the teachers, getting away from home every day, and helping the other kids in the class when she understands things they don't. If things do keep up, with the school sores, whooping cough, etc, I will definitely be pulling them out of school and home schooling them both. It's just worth risking her life over. I've almost lost her in the past, I don't want to go through that every day of her life. :(

    I don't know, hidden, I really don't. It's had me in tears most of the day with worry that she is going to come home ill with whooping cough. I don't want that, she'll end up in quarantine in Perth, on oxygen, because her lungs won't cope, nor her immune system. :( I am glad school breaks up next week for 2 weeks, so very glad.

    I was to about to post this.

    What they are not reporting now though is, there were actually 2 earthquakes within a minute on different faults right near each other. TWO!!

    Also looks like there was a 1 metre tidal wave. Not as big as last time, but its still a tidal wave (or tsunami) Actually, they are talking about 2 metres now.

    ALSO, what was that bright flash we are seeing in BBC? When they show the actual shaking.

    ALSO, its near the area where the reactors are! This isnt good.
