    Hi Jayyy

    'There are more fish in the sea' as the saying goes and it is right.

    You say, he confessed he was in love with someone else, and then he kissed her - (I take it that he kissed her in front of you, that being the case, he is a heartless, self-centered, egotistical, pig headed, tactless, wimp of a wet dishcloth) if I was you I'd celebrate, for you have just had a lucky escape.

    You may not be able to see it at present (but if he had such a lack of concern for your feeling) he's done you a favour -a big favour.

    You are young - put this down to experience and move on.

    Why do people treat me this way?

    I'm the most kindhearted person that you can possibly find. Not to mention incredibly sincere and truly faithful. I've got very little friends (two to be exact) and I hardly hang out with them because they're usually busy or don't answer their phones therefore I'm left to go places by myself and always be alone. I found some old friends on Facebook whom I used to be very close with, and I tried talking to a few of them and asked them to hang out, and they all say they're busy or they make up some lame excuse to avoid me. This one dude just posted on his facebook that he's going to the movies tonight, and wants to know who wants to go with him. I posted and wrote "I'll come", and he just ignores it. I don't understand whats wrong with me? Why not a single person EVER invites me ANYWHERE. It truly sucks.

    ^Nothing is wrong with you. Something is wrong with THEM. I honestly don't know why some people have to be like that. My sympathies, Matrix. :(

    That's really no good MatrixGravity :( I'm sure you'll find some awesome, deserving friends soon enough.

    Me, I can just feel a flu coming on. I'm constantly groggy and I have that headcoldy feeling in the back of my throat. Grr. I don't think there's much I hate more than being sick.

    AND I just spilt peppermint tea all over myself.

    Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that :(. I hope you feel better soon! Plenty of rest, as they say. Only way to get better!

    For me, I've been constantly crushed by my ex as of late, her ability to move on, coupled with my inability to do so has me stuck. I don't know what I need to do to get past this crap, but hopefully something will get me out of this stupid rut I'm in.

    Oh, and also, It's nearly 5 am, and my horrible insomnia is preventing me from sleeping, and I have to be in class at 8 am. Should be a wonderful morning!

    It's definitely not an easy thing to do, moving on. But if she obviously is over you, it's necessary for you to do the same, otherwise in the end it'll hurt more. Try focusing on things you like doing, hanging out with other friends and such.
    It'll take some time, but you'll be alright in the end. :)

    Also, hope you'll be able to catch some sleep!

    Jayyy1014: Sorry to hear that. It's incredibly hard, but I hope you can move on and get over him soon.

    MatrixGravity: Urgh, I know the feeling. Be happy with having the two friends you've got. Maybe if you stopped looking for friends then they'd come to you instead, I don't know. Just be grateful that you have friends, and I'm sure people will discover how nice you are at some point. :)

    dizzyspell: Get well soon!

    Frankzilla: I hope you can get over her, and out of the rut you're in. The fact you know your ex has moved on will help, but I know it will still be really hard. And I hope you sleep soon! Sleep is wonderful.

    Thanks for the well wishes guys! :)

    I'm a bit mad at my flatmate at the moment. I flat with my boyfriend and one of his friends from high school. This guy is completely socially incompetent, and he's a right jerk. His good side is that he almost never leaves his room, so my boyfriend and I mostly get the house to ourself.

    Last night I had a fever so I was rugged up in the lounge, wet flannel on my forehead and everything. The flatmate surfaced, looked at me and said "Meh." Not "Are you ok?", not "What's wrong?" nor even "Go back to your room you smelly invalid!"
    No, he said "Meh."

    I have ALWAYS tried to be nice to this guy. I'll normally strike up a conversation with him if he comes out of his room, I engage him in political discourse, which he likes, and my boyfriend always does the same things and even invites him out with the boys when he goes out.

    And from him, we get "Meh." Or, if we come home from a weekend away, it's loudly and to our face "Damn." When my boyfriend and I were visiting my parents in Christchurch this February and a large magnitude Earthquake struck, causing fatalities, he didn't even bother to txt us, despite knowing we were there.

    On the rare instances he is out of his room, he is AWFUL to my boyfriend, who has never been anything but nice to him. Like, I'll recommend a movie and ask my boyfriend to back me up on it, and the flatmate will say something like "And we know how good his taste is", very sarcastically. He always insults my boyfriend's intelligence, just because he doesn't have a vast vocabulary and he's bad at spelling. My boyfriend's majoring in physics, he's not freaking stupid! I am immune from such attacks, yet apparently my opinion that my boyfriend is actually quite intelligent is not valid in the eyes of this jerk.

    He studies economics and has expressed to my boyfriend and I a sincere wish to one day be the tax-man. And he smells.

    Sorry about the rant, guys. I'm just sick, and therefore grumpy. But seriously, I want to throttle this guy! Grr.

    Conservatives win a majority despite having only 40% of the vote- meaning 60% of the electors did not want them in power. Sad day for Canada.

    Oh man, you were posting about this the other night, no? Guess it didn't go so well. Sorry. -offers chocolate bar-

    My head is killing me. But I want to just write, write this beautiful story that requires no editing, no adjustments, just one draft and a perfect story emerges. This, however, is not reality, and I'm having a hard time accepting that my first, second, third, and probably forth draft of my story is going to all suck.

    I need more Bayer.

    this morning I was woken up by the phone ringing, it was quite early (7am roughly) so I rushed out of bed to the phone, nearly hurting myself in the process, only to find out it was the wrong number. It also woke all 3 of my kids. I hate it, not because of the time they rang, but because it was so early, I thought that it might have been 'that' phone call... every day I worry thinking I'm going to get that call and seriously, it scares the crap out of me. Now I just feel really down and want to cry. :(

    Left practice half an hour early so I could spend some time with Joel instead of just coming home and going to sleep.

    Joel is in the other room playing video games.

    Grumble.

    I was there for a while when I was in high school, and I can tell you it SUCKS. But, you know, the best way to combat crappy problems is to throw your energy into other things. Positive things. For example, when I was the reject in middle school and early high school, I threw every inch of my motivepower into studying and advancing myself, and I was able to graduate a year early and get a head start on life as the result. (I have lots of friends now, rewarding job and am also involved in campaign activism, etc, so it gets better.) If you can turn a bad situation into a strength in the long run, you'll come out on top. And remember: the people who are catty, snarky, rumor starting etc at age 15 are usually the ones who are washed out and dumpy at 25.

    And Jayy, you know, as Trilby said, you're better off without that guy. He'e a jerk, but better now than later. In some situations you really are best off single.

    As for me, I'm worried about my cat. She's about 15 years old and I've had her since childhood and I am very attached to her. She's been acting really strange, pulling out tufts of her hair, walking around caterwauling like she is bothered, etc. I'm making a vet appt tomorrow but.......ugh who knows.

    Earlier tonight my speakers started to beep. It stops for a bit and a few minutes later it will start beeping again. Not a clue what it is and it's really annoying because I am trying to watch some videos and... yeah. Sometimes its a constant beep and sometimes it reminds me of someone using Morse Code I guess.

    ...

    I also starting to think someone is trying to send me a message and that makes me consider whether or not I should take that as a bad sign as far as my mental state is concerned. :(

    Aw, should I go punch him?

    Nah, you're not going crazy. Compared to my thinking sometimes, nope, definitely not going crazy. :D

    But well, if it really annoys you, you could just plug out the speakers and use headphones or something.

    A friend has been in a very nasty car accident lastnight. All I know is that the driver died, and my friend has spinal damage, she was air lifted to the city. No one knows exactly how she is right now, but someone said she can't feel her legs and is in a bad way. I hope she is alright.

    Best wishes on your friend making a full recovery, and peace to the driver.

    I hope you're managing to cope with the bad news.

    Thank you both. My friend is still in ICU, she's pretty bad. We're all just crossing our fingers for her now and sending as many positive and healing thoughts her way as we can. I feel sorry for the drivers family, he was so young. Too young.
