The not happy thread

My insane allergy attack is so painfully massive.

When I say massive, I mean like:

 

I'll be praying for the family... and I hope your allergies get better.
I lost my phone.

 

Losing your phone is quite irritating.

Speaking of irritating, I lost my TV remote three weeks ago, and I still can't find it. I live in a damn dorm room, so where the hell did it go? It disappeared the same day my ex was last here. That may be saying something. It's the little things that annoy me most.

 

A friend of mine reached into her purse today and pulled out her tv remote. Surprised, she said "So THAT'S where that went. I've been looking for that for 3 weeks."

Check your purse.

Thanks all for well wishes for the family. We had a counselor meet w. about 25 employees - it was . . . well - uplifting in many ways.

 

this is just a minor, bitchy whinge, but urgh, I have to catch a bus and two trains to go see my boyfriend today.. 2 hours on public transport.. this wouldn't happen if I had my license.. then again, that assumes having a car, which I don't. Lol.

 

I hate valentine's day. Today was basically valentine's day for us at school. So. Yeah. I hate valentine's day.

 

Ahhh - well in the U.S. Monday is President's Day - is that a bit better?

 

Ditto; the only cool thing I like about Valentine's Day cards is giving cards away; don't care for getting them (which I don't) or for much else. Saw a fifteen-year-old boy at the store the other day buying a valentine's day card for his mother. Aww.

I'm not happy because I have a pounding headache that won't go away, and I've got a cold, which I'm pretty sure happened because the lady I sit next to in class has a bad case of bronchitis.

 

^ I like giving cards, too. The only one I got came with an adorable stuffed dog from my *counts on fingers* third favorite person in the world, so I, too, am glad I didn't get many.

And I wish the fifteen-year-old kid had made the card, but yes.

I'm mildly unhappy because at the church dinner last night that the teens hosted, I spilled hot coffee on my fingers. And I haven't yet figured out how to configure my mornings so that my bed actually gets made, which upsets me.

 

I don't understand Russian names. I was just making a list of character names and when I got to a Russian character, it flopped. Do I just pick two Russian names at random and stick them together? I thought it'd be best to research how a real Russian name is done. Confusion to the max.

Basically, the Russian family I made up were:
Ivan (the dad), Dessa (the mom), and Alexi (their son).

 

It's amazing to me how people can never hear the good stuff you say about a person. Now my girlfriend thinks I cheated on her, and that say **** behind her back. Even though she's the first girl I've actually cared about for a long time.

 

I'm going absolutely nuts. I'm supposed to do an overview of the reading for Monday during class, which I was planning on doing some of yesterday and today. But the schedule wasn't up and no one in class or the professor is responding to my emails. The reading could be from any number of things, so guessing is pretty much not an option. It's to the point in time where I'll just do everything I can think of and hope it's right. I hate classes without syllabi. Absolutely hate them.

 

My brother puked all over my only clean school uniform this morning, so I had to wear the sports uniform. Because no one was home when I left this morning, I didn't have a note so I got in trouble when I got to school didn't I? To make things worse, I thinks he's given the bug to me, so I'm going to be sick before too long. I forgot my lunch and I'm absolutely starving. It's boiling hot and humid (humid! in this dry little town! Gotta be kidding me!) SO yea....not too happy!

 

Ugh, sounds gross. Hopefully the day will get better for ya. :/

 

I've been M.I.A for a while, I will eventually post something of some merit to this site once I stop angsting. I swear.

Spoiler

This stupid cut on my leg is really itchy. My best friend is shutting me out, and drowning himself in drink because of heartbreak. I want to be there for him, but he won't let me. Which is his prerogative, but I wish he'd be there for me.

My father sent me a card, asking for my phone number, telling me he misses me. That he wants to see me. But I don't know. I know I should love him. I should want to see him. But ****. He's messed me around so many times. He's treated me like a toy. He keeps picking me up, promising me the world, loving me, swearing he'll make things better, then dropping me again. I've tried to be strong. I've tried to just enjoy the time I get to spend with him, ignore his promises and accept that it's just the way he is. But it doesn't make it hurt any less, and I can't take it any more. I don't think I'll reply.

On top of that, my mother is using heroin again. I feel so powerless. I made myself throw up twice this week. Normally I can feel in control by just... stopping myself from eating, or cutting myself a little bit. Pulling on my hair. But it's not working. College has kicked me out, and I have nothing. Everything is falling apart, and I want my mummy.

I want my mummy.

I want to tell my mummy how I feel, how much I hate myself. How much I hate life. How much I hate her. How much I wish I would just die. I want my mum to hold me, and let me cry, and tell me it's all going to be okay. That things will get better. That all these things crushing me will get better.

But I know she won't. I tried to tell her once. She told me not to be so stupid, to get over it, I couldn't possibly feel like that.

I want my mum.

 

Russian names consist of four parts, three main names, and a nickname.

The first part of the name is the given name. More or less the same as christian names in the western world.

The second part of the name is the patronymic. This is the person's father's name, plus a suffix. The suffix is either -ovich (for a male) or -ovna (for a female). So for your son character, it would be Alexi Ivanovich.

The third part is the family name (surname). Russian surnames usually end in -ov or -ev (-ova or -eva for a female), and I think names ending in -ski are generally Polish. I'm not too sure about other slavic surnames.


And the nickname is a dirivative of the given name, used by family and close friends of the person. It is more formal to address a person by their given name, and more formal again to use given name and patronym.


Hope that helps you out a little. Russian names can be a bit confusing. I suggest taking a look at some Russian literature (I'd recommend The Night Watch by Sergei Lukanyenko).

 

Matt is a wealth of knowledge.

 

-ski is male, -ska is female.

 

Ah, thanks for that

 

Wow, that's horrible. Hope things improve for you soon.

 

Absolutely fuming.

I've just travelled 120 miles this morning to go to a session this afternoon. I'll get a grand total of 15 minutes contact time, but it's compulsory as non-attendance would mean I failed the course (which isn't good). Only, I won't because I've just read an email telling me not to bother coming in to the session and instead email my work.

So that's a day completely wasted. 4 1/2 hours of travelling, all to log on to one computer and send one file. It's a disgrace, and I will be having words about recovering my expenses for the day.

 

I'm sorry, Dante. That's absolutely ridiculous.


This morning a two trains hit each other frontal, and at least 10 people lost there lives, many others were wounded. It was mostly likely caused by the train driver of one of the trains ignoring the red light... It's still pretty hard to believe that it happened.

 

That's terrible.

I can't imagine being in a train wreck. I've heard of car/plane wrecks, but never a train. I always imagined that the safest place you can be is on a train, but it just goes to show you that bad things can happen wherever you are.
