    That kind of thing happened to me ALL THE TIME last year when I had two roommates. They were bestest friends from school and I was the third wheel. That is why I now only live with one roommate. I feel like we get along good.

    Now, the loud people next door can be annoying, but that's something I can deal with....

    I don't get it either. -hug-

    Good you get along with your roommate and it's better. I'm friends with one of my housemates but she's made friends with the other two and I haven't (not because I don't want to, I'm just too shy and reclusive). Oh well, I'm used to it.

    Loud neighbours are annoying. Once you get used to them, they can sometimes be pretty amusing I've found.

    I know, I've been reading about it and it's just awful. (Awful being an understatement but yeah)

    I feel so pathetic right now.

    Tonight I went to church with Keedy. Now, Keedy goes to a fairly large church in our area. A couple thousand members. One of those members happens to be Ethan (who for those of you who don't know, is my ex that I have LOTS of history with. He was my best friend for years and then we dated and then things went bad.). Because there are THOUSANDS of members, I didn't think that Ethan and I would see each other.

    I. Was. Wrong.

    I was sitting with Keedy, and Keedy's friend had told me to save the seat next to me. So I did. And while I was sitting there, someone sneaks up behind me and attacks me. It was him.

    This is the point where I wish I could say it was awkward and weird and there were lots of unanswered questions and blah blah blah it was weird.

    But no.

    It wasn't.

    It was as if nothing changed and nothing bad ever happened between us and everything was perfect again. I didn't want him to leave and I didn't want him to let go of me when he hugged me and how I feel about him hasn't changed even a little bit.

    The seat was saved for him but he ended up sitting behind me and he messed with my hair and complimented my scarf and I was like "AGHHHH. This isn't fair!!"

    :/

    If he was abusive, either psychologically or physically, do not take him back. People like this love manipulating and usually excell at it. Don't be duped by it.

    Amen. I've told you before, Em, and I'll tell you again, with all the love in my heart, I don't think you should talk to him anymore. Bad idea. Bad. Idea.

    That wouldn't happen. 1) I'm moving across the country. 2) There would be a mob threatening to kill me (led by my best friends). and 3) part of the reason we broke up was because he came out of the closet.

    That's the part where you're going to be upset with me....

    Sounds like he's getting a refreshed kick out of watching you squirm, Em. Guys like him just love to manipulate. Agreeing with Hidden - and again, with love- give yourself the respect you deserve and stop talking to him. Remember all the bad things he did to you; those haven't changed either.

    Cat has gone to vets - never had to do this before my pets have all died naturally. Its unlikely she will return alive. Its been horrible feels like I sent her to be executed, been holding her constantly for two days knowing she was a dead cat.

    I know exactly how you feel. :( I had a fox terrier that lived for twelve years until after a series of strokes, she had to be put down. I still remember carrying her dead body from the car to the grave out in the backyard.

    Oh no. :( As a cat person,I know how awful that is. That really sucks. :(
    Don't think of it as a "goodbye," think of it as a "see you later." You'll get to see her again, someday, in the afterlife, and she can have lots of fun chasing at mice and playing with other cats until then. :)

    I know how you feel, it's happened to me before. Sorry about your cat. :( Just remember how much of a good life you gave her.

    I'm ill. As in haven't been going to school since April, living with my parents to manage my daily life, sleeping 14 hours a day ill.

    And the last week I been to bone tired to do anything creative. Every time I pass that border I'm starting to fall to pieces. As soon as that creative outlet is beyond me, I'm lost. A wreck.

    Please, please. I need to get better. Now. Please.

    w176 I am sorry to hear that - I have Fibromyalgia and know where you are coming from. This year I have been physically very ill with 3 kids and often wish I could break free and function like a normal person.

    I can only imagine how i must be with 3 kids. I only got a dog, but the guilt and every day pressure I feel around his care at times are bad enough. Even if my family steps in and takes care of him when needed. On the other hand, most days my dog helps me a lot in my every day life and care. Giving my days structure, routine and exercise.

    What's the matter?

    Aw... did you call the police or something?

    :( Poor you! There's nothing worse than feeling bad and not being able to stay at home and eat some soup. I really hope you feel better soon, and that your day is bearable!

    Yeah, but that doesn't make walking in the rain any fun for me. Plus, it's 30-degrees. :<

    It actually relates to the situation I posted about a while ago. I thought things had returned to normal, but apparently not. I just don't like what's happened to this friendship. I really don't.

    Aw, well I can kinda relate... I think the best is to just do nothing and wait for a while. It's difficult at times and it takes an awful lot of patience, but it might be for the best.

    If you need to vent or something, you can always PM me.
