i am at my grandmother's and i feel like a terrible person, b/c i cannot wait to leave. my father died last year and he and i did not see/talk to each other at all. my grandmother wants me to be as sad as she is about losing him and i will never be. he was already out of my life. i hate coming up here and having her blame me for everything like he was perfect. i know it was her only child and i try to be patient but there is only so much bashing i can take.
i was also told by her on this trip that i would have a miserable life b/c i didn't think i wanted to get married or have kids. awesome.

EAP, you've never struck me as someone who lets the expectations of others dictate your life. Don't start now.
it is so fucking cold in my apartment I cannot even handle it. I swear my downstairs neighbors have to have their windows open or something - my floors feel like glaciers they're so cold.
also, I should be super excited that my office is closed today - friday, but I'm on contract and get paid hourly. sooo I'm losing a lot of money between last week and this week.

My sister put a story in her snap of her calling a bunch of her friends fags. Super disappointed.
Talked it out with her, explaining how words still carry their history, even if the speaker's intent is benign. I know she really looks up to me and I think she feels a little more guilty than is really appropriate (as I wanted to educate her, not make her feel bad), but overall I feel like I did some good today. It's hard for me to tell someone something that I know will make them feel guilty without myself feeling guilty because I feel like I guilted them (guilt trips are somewhat common in my family), but I think I did well.

Also, total first-world problem: I want to rearrange my room, but the outlet on the wall I want to put my desk on is controlled by the light switch next to the door. I'd have to remember to never flick the switch, and I'd have to actually go to the lamp each time to turn it on and off. Not gonna happen.

Can you try running extension cords? If you hide them well it enough it should work.

That was a thought, but I really hate cords, and I have enough of them in my room as it is. I found an alternate solution though. =)

I just had to put down my cat. She had irreversible kidney damage. It was totally unexpected. God fucking damnit I miss her
I am so sorry. I know the feeling. I lost my boy two years ago and still miss him. He was only 4 years old. Give it a little time, then the only thing that can fill that hole is to adopt another sweet baby.

Thank you =) I was at Big Gigantic on Halloween and for some reason locked in on one of the tvs. My cat, Tipsy, appeared on it. It zoomed out and she was overlooking a small city. Red laser beams came out of her eyes and obliterated everything, I screamed holy fkn shit Tipsy just destroyed a city during Big Gigantic's set lmao

Sorry to hear that, noodlebombs. My cat's kidneys are going as well, and I know at some point in the future I'll have to make a tough choice as well. Hang in there.

So there is a girl who I became friends with probably about two years ago. For about 2 months I saw her every weekend, went to house parties she had, just partying in general. She then moved to Chatt and I haven't seen her much since. We weren't that close at all and really kept in contact only via Facebook and the occasional "Hi" at shows. A year ago, she asked if I would be a Bridesmaid in her wedding. I said, "Sure". Time has gone on and this wedding has gotten bigger and bigger. I figured, knowing her finances, it would be a small shindig. Well in the last couple months she has asked for her wedding party to go try on dresses, go to brunch, and told us that we will have to purchase our own dresses. Brunch never happened nor did trying on dresses. Then a couple days ago, after saying she would buy the shoes, she says not only do we have to buy the dresses and the shoes, now we have to do it in the next two weeks so she can film a wedding invitation video.
This wedding falls on a weekend where I have two festivals I'm deciding between. Where I see friends, real friends. I cannot afford the jewelry, hair, dress, and shoes. More recently, I've wanted to delete her even from Facebook for her idiotic political opinions or her rants about "being so sick and she doesn't know why" (drugs, that's why). So last night I told her I cannot afford to be in her wedding and that I have a festival that I work at on that weekend. She said she understood. Today her fiance, who I also know, makes a big rant on Facebook, saying that myself, and another girl who backed out should, "Eat shit and die if a festival is more important than a friend's wedding". Well it is, and it's less expensive too. I haven't had a call or text from her in almost two years that wasn't her asking for something. She is nothing but short a bridesmaid on paper. We haven't done anything to prepare and she still has months until the wedding.

I'm too old for this shit.
Reason #3452349894385034 I'm not having a wedding.
Ugh, that sucks abrakapokus! Also it made me laugh that she needed everyone to buy their dresses & shoes ASAP just so she could make an invitation video (???), lol.

seriously, having a wedding sounds like the biggest pain in the ass and waste of money.
