The Not Happy Thread

I HEAR MEN INSIDE MY HOUSE. I don't have a phone. I'm in my closet, hiding.

 

I emailed my boyfriend. So not cool.

 

lol, whut?

 

I'M ABOUT TO BE RAPED *I must post it on the forums*

 

Does it make it any better if I had an ipad with me, not an actual computer? No? Ok.

Yeah, I'm going to say its a ridiculous homage to to the digital age. At least I didn't update my facebook status. "Hiding in closet, lolz."

I probably woule have had it, not writing forums, been the page open.

But, never fear, I just have really bad hearing, an overactive imagination, and a boyfriend who forgets to tell me that the builders are coming today.

That was an interesting experience. Definitely getting a phone, now.

F***, I'm an idiot.

 

dizzy, I just thought that was quite funny, and the fact you e-mailed your boyfriend just made it even better.

You're still alive so it's all good

 

Awwww... no your not. If I was hanging out at home, alone, which happens alot... and I heard strange voices inside my house and hadn't heard anyone knock or at the very least ring the darn doorbell, I would probably freak out too. I'd be hiding in my closet trying to get a hold of someone.. anyone.. by any means necessary.

I'm just a bit luckier.. My cell phone is always in my pocket... always.

 

Hi Dizzy! I'm glad you're alive and un-raped.

 

That just made me lul and I have no idea why.... I guess it was just because I could SEE Mal being all up beat and perky when she said it..

 

Hahahaha, that's why I'm out of the closet now... Wait, bad wording...

Um, not hiding in my wardrobe anymore. He turned up from work, thanks to my SUPER EMAILING POWERS.

 

LOL... *wonders what that super costume would look like*

 

Corb! Your sig says you made it to 6,200! YAAAAY!

 

Yes yes I did... I brought my Key to work and did some here since I had nothing else to do but troll the forums... I have to run some errands after work but when I get home I'm gonna get back at it...

 

I'm really stressed right now. REALLY stressed. I'd made some travel plans to help out with a campaign, and things aren't looking great on the end of the people who are there who I'd be working with. So I have to either figure out another way to make it work (i.e. network with other people to figure new plans out) or cancel. I'm extremely anxious. And ticked off.

Edit: I really, really hate when I need to talk to someone to figure out something important, and they avoid the conversation because they don't think I'll like what they're going to say. Man/woman up and deal with it, because I don't want to be under a huge amount of stress and in the dark just because of someone's avoidance issues.

Rant over for now....

 

Aww Mall.. sorry to hear that people aren't doing their parts to get some things taken care of.

 

Thanks. I'm just really frustrated. And disappointed. I need someone to hug me. It sucks bad.

 

Well hrmm.. *offers a friendly type hug* Sorry it's not getting better.

 

Results in less than an hour. ****ting myself is an understatement.

 

You'll be fine. Keep us updated on how they go.

 

Like Dante said, you'll be fine. I'm sure you've done well.

 

I wouldn't normally do this but *sigh* oh well. Today's been a really crappy day. I keep getting the impression my family think I'm this useless waste of space who can't do anything whatsoever. They have no faith in me or something. Fair enough, I messed up half my year at University and now it's looking like i'm going to have to repeat, and I've this committee I have to stand in front of next week to discuss my future. In the meantime, it's like i'm in limbo with no job, and a future that's covered in uncertainty. Academically I used to be looked up to by my family, but it's funny how that can quickly evaporate once you lose the run of the ball. When you've temporarily ****ed up, you suddenly become a bum. Writing's my passion, and I do it everyday, and anytime someone sees me in the middle of it, they belittle it as if it's a total waste of time. Like it's something to be sniggered at. It pisses me off that I can't relate to anyone in person who likes writing, someone who understands how important it is to me.

Sorry for the rant!

 

I can sympathize with you. I was the oldest and a good deal was expected of me in my family. I screwed up and they kept pushing me into things that weren't really for me. The one thing I've really cared about is writing. It's something that I WANT to be good at.

My point is that sometimes families (especially parents) want what's best for us, but they forget that what they want for us may not be what we want or need. Plus many people wind up changing careers several times in their lifetime simply because they wind up doing what they have to and not what they're meant to. Don't let your family push you too far into that direction. Also, don't let them get you down about writing or why you do it. They can't and won't ever understand. (At least if they're like my family they won't) I can't really broach that subject with them. They just don't get it.

If you need to connect with people about writing I would seriously look into writing groups. They've helped me tons. I have to travel to the next town over to attend mine, but I've noticed a lot of Universities or College towns do a much better job of having a writing group around. Check it out. It could make a world of difference.

 

thanks Corbyn, it's good to know I'm not the only one lol

I'd love to join a writing group, but i'm not sure there are many in my area, but it's something I'll definitely have a look into. It would be great to talk about writing in person to someone as opposed to the forums.

i'm not under any illusions that writing might turn into something serious, but if they even had a minimal understanding about how much I love it, and why I do it every day, things would be much easier! And if things didn't work out, it can still always be a hobby! But oh well, I'll hopefully sort things out with college next week and i'll have something down on paper that will keep them happy for the time being. In the meantime, i'll continue to write

 

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know. I've gotten some really useful information out of my writing group. It's funny, I took creative writing at the school I go to and I didn't feel like I learned much. I think though that now I'm a much stronger writer because of this group. With practice I'm getting better, and I know with everything it takes time. I doubt I'll ever get to the point where I"m seriously published or anything but... If nothing else it's a great goal to set for myself. Plus... for me... writing keeps me out of trouble LOL.

 

I hate my job, I can't do anything fun when doing 4 or 5 12 hour shifts that END at 6 AM a week. And it's even worse since I am switching from night shift to day shift tomorrow. Just for the one day. Yeah. I get a 6 hour shift, 6 hours off, then another 12 hour shift. Yup.
