I threatened court and she when to the post office, picked up the letter, and confirmed I was correct. Ugh. Its done, I won for now. She said the walkthrough would have to be done in the evening, which is perfect because the lights get turned off on the 15th and I didn't tell her. It's catty but after the hell of the last two days from her and the unresponsive for taking care of your property I'm done.

"I can't sleep," said the ten year old as he came shuffling out of his bedroom about twenty minutes ago. "I saw a scary movie."
Context: Sundays, milady & I both work until at least 10:00. Kid stays with my parents, and after Dad finishes work (earlier than I do) he takes the kid home for the bedtime routine. Dad had already left, he & I thought the boy was already asleep when I arrived, and I was halfway through eating when the kid came out.
I asked him what he saw. He said he couldn't remember the name. I asked him what happened. He said some people had their car break down, went somewhere, and "it was weird."
At this point, I'm thinking "awww, how cute... Rocky Horror scared the crap out of him!" So I asked him if there was singing. He said no...
...and then he said "I remember now! It was called Human Centipede!" And to make matters worse, kid said he got scared at one part so he fast-forwarded closer to the end.
Love my parents. Having them as a free babysitter is great, too. But I got what I paid for, and this happened when Mom dozed off in the recliner.
This kid's so traumatized, he asked me to text his mother at work to tell on him! And added "Tell her I learned my lesson."
I'll be lucky if he's asleep by midnight, and I'm bracing for "I had a nightmare" in the wee hours.
Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK. Fuck. I couldn't even finish that movie.

When Kyle was about 9 year old he wanted to watch Paranormal Activity. He begged and begged. I reminded him that he gets nightmares when he watches scary stuff. Well, he promised he wouldn't and that he really wanted to watch it. So the stipulation was he could watch it, but if he got scared or had nightmares, he couldn't watch scary movies until he was at least 12 or 13.
He was ok for most of it, until the poltergeist pulls the girl out of the bed and slams the door. I remember being freaked out at that part as well, but he screamed and ran to his bed. We had to turn off the TV and I had to go lay with him until he fell asleep. My ex was SO pissed at the time. I fell asleep with him, woke up around 2:30 am and my ex made me finish watching it.
The whole point I am making is, kids will watch fucked up shit, be scared for awhile and then eventually get over it due to more maturity. I am sorry that of ALL the movies he saw, it was that one. And can you believe that they have two sequels to that horrible thing? Just give your kid some extra love, tell your folks what happened and ask them to be more careful and it will get better.

Yeah, I think I did that. When his mother came home, I was laying with him in our bed watching Little Lunch (kind of like The Office for Australian elementary school kids?) to ease the pain. She got upset I had him up so late watching TV and not in his own bed, and I took to his defense.
I said something like "the poor kid basically got Goatse'd and Two Girls, One Cupped all at once!" Thankfully, she didn't know what I was talking about. I just assured her what he had seen was BAD, so I gave him leeway.
Strange full circle moment: Saturday, I went to the funeral of the father of a friend I'd known since elementary school and hadn't seen in five years. I was thinking back to a sleepover at his place, once upon a time circa age 11, where we played a crapload of then-new Super Nintendo and got our hands on a VHS copy of Silence Of The Lambs to close out the night. I was the only one to make it through to the end, and then I had trouble sleeping.

He might have trouble sleeping the next couple of nights as well. I recommend lots of his favorite shows (Kyle's favorite is Jurassic Park believe it or not, we watched it for a week afterwards...ALL THREE) and hugs and cuddles. He will get over it and will one day love scary movies and be all about it. FYI, I love your Silence of the Lambs story. I was a horror film junkie as a kid, I forced my older sister to take me to People under the Stairs and Pumpkinhead for my birthday movies at like 14-16. She hated it.

Yeah, 5th-6th grade was way too early for SOTL... but that was kind of the point. I didn't sleep until like 5am that night.
My first R-rated movie in the theater was Demolition Man when I about 13. Mom dropped me off at the cinema with a note saying it was OK for me to see it alone. Same theater has a sign saying that's not allowed these days. Damn kids and their triggers and safe spaces, amirite?
1) Saying goodbye to my fiance for what will very likely be 8-9 months. 2) Having that goodbye rushed (and an additional 10 hours of time together being taken away from us) because the airlines changed flights on Jack- without his knowledge- leading to some serious visa issues with a layover in China. This meant that he couldn't board the flight to China, and I had to leave Taipei without him. 3) Jack having to buy an entirely new flight direct from Taipei to Sydney to get around the China visa issues. (causing him to have to spend 19 hours in the Taipei airport) 4) EVA Airlines didn't even load one of my two bags onto the plane to Beijing. Not a clue which bag it was and no clue where it is. 5) My flight from Beijing to Dallas getting totally cancelled. That's right, cancelled. Rescheduled for 7am tomorrow. 6) Those visa issues that Jack had, oh yea, now I do too. 7) Spending 8 hours in the Beijing airport, most of which was just standing in lines for one thing or another. 8) Being stuck in Beijing, a country that has no social media access except inforoo and snapchat apparently, overnight after an already less than ideal experience here the first time.
So yea, fuck this day. Fuck it. I'm so pissed off and tired and sad and hungry, all I want to do is burst into tears, crawl up in a ball, and eat a cheeseburger in bed till I fall asleep.
edit: I am in a hotel that is comped by American Airlines for the night, with a free meal. So I'm not stuck at the airport for the night, but it's still a massive inconvenience. Thank goodness Jack booked my flight as Beijing > Austin, so that missed Dallas > Austin connection will be rescheduled free as well. But now I don't have anyone to pick me up from the airport tomorrow since my roommate will likely be at work when I get in. Ugh, this is the day that will never fucking end.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Just spent the last 2 hours at Planned Parenthood getting my cervix slammed trying to get an IUD. No dice. Now I'm just crampy and spotty without 6 years of birth control.
Fuck you, cervix. If you think that was too much, I'm DEFINITELY never pushing a baby out.
Get to do the whole thing again Tuesday morning. This time with drugs!

UGH. Horrible. I didn't realize they were difficult to get (obviously I have never had one). Sorry you went through that. Hopefully with the drugs it will be much better.

According to the (very sweet and apologetic) clinician that was trying to do mine, it's not usually this difficult. Probably why they originally recommended IUD's for women who have already had kids.
And I'm finally home now! WOO! Still have one lost bag, but I filed a claim with American and I'm hoping they find it.
Oh, and another grrrrr, I found out today that I didn't get the job with C3. I felt like my interview with amazingly well so I'm really crushed about it. I feel like I'm never going to find an internship/job at this point. Graduating with a masters, 120k in student loan debt, and no experience. YES!

That sucks you went through that. I have an IUD and it was virtually painless. Took all of 5 mins and just felt a bit of pressure while they actually inserted it, then nothing. A few weeks after it had shifted a bit and I had some intense cramping during that, but my OB just swapped it out with a new one on my follow-up and the new one has been fine ever since (I've had it for two years now).

I liked this before the last paragraph. ugh I'm sorry monie! the bright side is there was still a chance that you couldn't take it due to the advisor situation. there still hope from your other couple of applications!

oh gurl I relate to this so hard. I was actually just texting my friend about my IUD experience because she's thinking about getting one. even though they didn't stop mine like yours, my experience is pretty comparable. I'm very queasy when it comes to blood/needles/anything doctor-y really, and was crying the whole time and then was completely bed ridden for 2 days because of cramps. honestly jealous you're getting drugged for yours.

I know, its super discouraging. I'm going to follow up with them tomorrow to thank them anyway and see if I can get an explanation as to why they didn't select me, because I felt like it went really, really well. He did say in the email to keep his contact info "in case I want to work on any future festivals of theirs". I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing or just a nice way to soften the blow, but I thought it was odd that he basically asked me to follow up in the future. Right now I'm tired and jet lagged and can't really compose an email. haha.

I have to take two pills an hour before that will cause my cervix to dilate a bit. She seemed pretty confident that that will work but if not, they'll do a block/some type of anesthesia and manually dilate me. If that's the case, I'm not doing it. I'll stick to nuvaring. Six years of BC isn't worth anesthesia for me.
I was so anxious talking to the NP about the IUD. I wasn't expecting to get one today to start so when they told me I could walk out with one I was both happy and anxious. The worst part was laying there in the stirrups with all that freaking hardware up in my business for so long. Then that feeling where she's been down there a little bit too long and saying how great you're doing sets in. "Just keep doing that deep breathing, you're doing so great!" No. No I'm not. Something is wrong. Tell me what's wrong or I will pee on you because that speculum is putting a lot of pressure on my bladder and I chugged a bunch of water while waiting for you to do this thing.

OH NO! I hope it wasn't a severe one. I don't get them often but when I do it is hiding in the hallway crying and not being able to move. I really, really hope it was nothing like that. Deep breaths, clear your mind and feel better. <3

Thankies. I was covering one of my employee's breaks on the sales floor and couldn't hide so I was just trying to stuff it down, but after a while I knew I wasn't gonna be able to remain composed much longer so I got my boss to cover for me and booked it out of there (I'd have been heading home in a half hour anyway). Once in my car I was able to the enjoy the throes of unrestrained intense emotional expression and I got it all out of my system. I'm better now; just have a bit of a headache. I've been working way too much recently so that plus some other stressors just kinda took me to my breaking point. Thankfully I have a day off tomorrow.

I am very glad you have a day off, it seems like it is SO WAY needed. Take some advil, crawl into your happy spot and stay there until you have to move. **HUGS**
Ex-landlord is ghosting me. Will not return phone calls or text messages. The final walk-through was supposed to be Tuesday, but nothing. I still have the keys. She is going to force my hand and make me take her to court to get my deposit back. I am so mad.

Been there. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. In my case she ignored me up until the absolute last day and then came up with a list of BS expenses that ate up my entire deposit.
Just be glad you're a homeowner now and don't ever need to deal with that shit again.
