Yeah!! New thread!!

So I went to the pet store a month and a half ago to buy my cat some food and I saw this cat I really liked name Polly!! She was the cutest thing!! Then about a week ago I went in just to look at the animals and there she was!! Still there in the exact same location!!! It turns out she got adopoted and than brought back because the people had alergies!!! So I really wanted to get her a week ago so I called my mom and she said NO!!! When she says no she means no!!! So then she said that maybe my aunt would get her...but then she didn't want to!! So I went back again today and she was still there!!! So I asked the lady if I could pet her!! So my sister and I went into the petting room and pet her!! I want her even more now and I still can't get her!!!!!!! I am so sad that she has to sit in the little cage!!! I want her so bad!

Poor you! You said that you went to the pet store to but cat food, so I guess that you already have a cat. I have two dogs, and really, going from one animal to two is no problem. You go through a bit more food, and you would have a bit more litter, but you already have a cat, so you know what they are like. Maybe try telling your mom that.

I have this teacher who is completely crazy, and she really bugs me! She keeps moving the due date forward, so we have all kinds of extra time!! This may sound like a good thing, but I always have things ready for the first due date, because I think that doing things on time is an important skill to learn, so I rush to finish, and everyone else has an extra two weeks, and they don't lose points or anything!!!!! She makes me so mad!!!

I feel sorry for you. But I can actually sympathize, my French teacher does that sometimes. But the thing is I scramble like mad to complete my assignments, then she pops in and mentions that she forgot to tell us the due dates are changed and that the assignments I was trying to finish up aren't due until two or three weeks later. I hope things get better for you, just remember that now that you've got the assignments ready to go, that you're ahead of the curb, and you've now got free time. So that's a bit of a plus on your downer.

i hope your mum changes her mind.
youre lucky though, i love animals but certain animals make my wind pipes close and my eyes swell up, which isnt a good look.... even at haloween. tongue.gif
personally, i'd love a dog.
actually, this has given me somthing to shout out about.
Asthma... how rubbish is that?!!
its the bane of my life. theres all these cute little things that make me stop breathing. its a cruel joke im sure?! ponder.gif

Ugh. So I went to school...for an hour today. I feel horrible. Now I'm home trying not to get sick. I can't eat anything. sad.gif

Also, my friend is sick/hurt. Her brain is bleeding. huh.gif If it keeps bleeding, she might only have six months to live. I want to know more but I haven't talked to her. I keep hearing information from other people. I'm so worried about her.

I hope you feel better Phoenix! I'm sorry about your friend, it's very hard to see someone so ill and not be able to help. Someone I know is losing her six year old boy and I want to scream and vent from the rooftops but it would do no good. He only has days left and it seems so unfair that the young and innocent have to suffer while so many evil "gits" have long happy lives.

Awww, Phoenix, I am so sorry to hear that. It is a really bad experience when you know that someone you love is ill/hurt that way. console.gif
All I can say is that you can make her happy, even if it sounds silly, given the graveness (is that a word?) of the situation. It helps a lot, really. When a relative of mine went ill last year, my sister told me that. All we can do is make them happy and make them forget a bit of their pain.

Best wishes!

That's terrible about your friend. I hope that all turns out well for her! console.gif

And I'm sorry you're sick. It really stinks. I would know, I'm sick too. Since Friday I haven't been able to sleep through the night because I've had to wake up to cough so many times. It's just a tad annoying. Now, I'm loosing my voice, which is really bad because I have my German AP exam tomorrow and I won't be able to do the speaking part! Ahhh!

Now I'm even more annoyed. dry.gif Apparently somewhere along the way, someone exaggerated the story. My friend is on blood-clogging medicine (I know there's a name for it ponder.gif) but the doctors think it'll work so there's really nothing to worry about. I'm intensely relieved but at the same time, I wish someone could just stick to the truth.

Well I still don't have that cat yet!! I am still working on it though!!!

So today we got assigned a project that involves working with a partner!! sad.gif We didn't get to pick the parters and what else happens but I get paired up with this girl that I really dislike!! We started working on it today and we have all class tomarrow to work on it! But today she did none of the work. And she sat there the whole time and made fun of my taste in music and asked me the rudest questions!! I really want to get a good grade on this project! So I am sitting here working on the project right now and tomarrow I am just going to have her color some things. I really don't know what to do except for do the project and work as hard as I can on it! I just wish I had a partner that I liked or even if I didn't like that person anyone would be better than the parter I have now!!

Poor you!

It seems that I am sensitive to my school, and the air in the tech lab gives me migraines! It's so annoying, because I get headaches a ton without this! Why can't I have a normal, no throbbing head!?

My sister is driving me insane. I love her and all, but lately she has aquired the habit of making me do her English homework. If she can't finish it by herself she should do what I and everybody else does, turn it in later or don't turn it in at all. Period.

So, I had an AP German test today. Oh my goodness it was terrible! What was supposed to be ablut 2 and a half hours ended up being 4 because everything that could go wrong with the speaking part did! First, half of us couldn't open the program where we record ourselves on the computer, so the computer guy at school had to come get us on there. Then, no one could figure out how to burn the CD's because the recording program and the burning one didn't work together, so we had to call the computer guy again. When it came time for him to do mine, an error message came up saying that the CD didn't work, so he tried about three more times before finally asking me to restart the computer and try again. While it was restarting, I signed onto a different computer and was finally able to get it to work. By the time we got done, I'd missed lunch (I would have had to miss it anyway, but could have eaten a different lunch period) as well as the review time my English teacher gave our class before taking a quiz on a book we're reading. I was in such a bad mood!
You would think it would end there, but no. At the end of the day, I went to get out my keys so that I could just leave and found....nothing! I looked again, still not there. I took everything out of a different part of my backpack, nothing again. By this time, I was starting to be a bit freaked out, so I decided to go ask my German teacher if I had left my keys in her room that morning. On the way there, I stopped at the office to see if they had them, but they didn't, neither did my German teacher. I started feeling even worse, so I ran up to my first period, where I knew I never had them but had to check anyway, to see if they were there. Of course they wern't, so I decided to check where I had the AP test. Not there either. It was at that time I got the horrible feeling that I had thrown them away that morning. ohmy.gif I wasn't in the mood for digging through the day's trash in my nice clothes, so I accepted my friend's offer for a ride home. Out in the parking lot, we saw some of our other friends, so we talked to them for about 30 minutes. Right before we left, I decided to empty everything out of my backpack one more time. I took everything out of the main section, no keys, so I decided to open the other big pocket where I knew I never opened except to throw old papers in. Lo and behold, mixed in with all the old papers that had been there since January, were my keys! I was so glad I found them, but mad that they were in a stupid spot. I'm actually still a bit mad about that.

It doesn't sound like you had a very good day!! I hope that you did well on your test!

Well my day at school was pretty good! I worked with that girl I didn't want to talk to and she actually wasn't that bad! I just told her to color in the water (which is the whole poster tongue.gif ) and she did that and then labeled some things!! So I came home and I finished the poster and I must say it looks amazing!! Then the worst part of my day occured..my 14 year old sister got her first "time of the month" today so she is just all giddy and saying "I am a women" and...OMG I don't need to here about it!!! I am sorry I hate talking about that suject and now my sister is all parading around the house!! It is just nice to be on Leaky to get away from it all!!!!

Also I have a big project that is due tomarrow that I have to finish tonight! I have all class time to work on it tomarrow but I want to at least get all the info on tonight and then I can animate it tomarrow! The best part..it is a persuasive powerpoint and I am doing mine on why people should read Harry Potter!!!! So I had a good/bad/busy day today!!!

I am very overwhelmed right now!

Yea, it was a pretty bad day, but thanks for the good hopes for the test! I hope I did well too. lol.gif

I completly sympathize with people talking about stuff like that. I have two friends that are especially fond of talking about everything to do with that. It is so awkward! I just really don't care to hear about things like that. It just makes me feel weird because that just seems like something that people should keep to themselves.

Well, this a sad shout out, rather than an angry one. A few weeks ago I found out one of my best friends is being sent to boarding school for at least a year. This made me really upset, but I've been in denial about it until now. It's hit me really hard that next week's his last week. I have an extremely hard time saying good bye to anyone if they're going to be gone for a long period of time. I used to even have a hard time when I had to say good bye to my parents before they brought me to daycare. When I was 12. So his leaving is really affecting me. I've been crying all night. This friend is someone I've known half my life and we have tremendous amounts of fun together. Next week is going to be miserable. I really don't want him to go and since I have such a hard time saying good bye to someone, I don't know how to handle this. And I've tried talking to my mom about it and stuff, but she's just making me feel worse, not better.

Well, this a sad shout out, rather than an angry one. A few weeks ago I found out one of my best friends is being sent to boarding school for at least a year. This made me really upset, but I've been in denial about it until now. It's hit me really hard that next week's his last week. I have an extremely hard time saying good bye to anyone if they're going to be gone for a long period of time. I used to even have a hard time when I had to say good bye to my parents before they brought me to daycare. When I was 12. So his leaving is really affecting me. I've been crying all night. This friend is someone I've known half my life and we have tremendous amounts of fun together. Next week is going to be miserable. I really don't want him to go and since I have such a hard time saying good bye to someone, I don't know how to handle this. And I've tried talking to my mom about it and stuff, but she's just making me feel worse, not better.


Hey DH! I sort of know a bit of what you are going through, see, one of my best mates had to move to another city when we were in fourth year (14 years old). It was very hard at first because I'd only see him a couple of times a month and sometimes less. I hope the boarding school isn't that far away from where you live. Even then, you can still keep those relationships. What I am trying to say is that it is hard at first, but it is not impossible.

Thanks Fer. You make me feel a little better. The only part that makes it harder is that he's going to be going a few states away, and it's quite likely we'll be able to have little to no contact. I'm making sure he has my email and everything, but because he's going to a school for "underachievers," we don't know how possible communication will be at first. He only gets to come back for two months of the year, which I'm guessing is during the summer (he doesn't like to talk about the details of it much), so I have the summer of '09 to look forward to, but it's still hard. I just have this huge fear of those I love leaving me, so I'm taking this much harder than the rest of my friends are.

Yeah I understand what you mean. Well, I suppose they will still allow him to write letters right? Those are good...*feels slightly old* tongue.gif
You should also ask his parents if the school allows friends and family visits on certain weekends, like holiday ones. I know that crossing two states is quite a long way, but still you and your other friends could organize a trip to visit him.

Best wishes!

Oh, I sympathize with you, DHer and Fer... something similar has recently happened to me...

Anyway mine is sort of sad as well: I wish I could talk to my friend and not feel homesick... or some kind of sick... well we used to be together almost all the time (on average, 6 days a week which is a lot when you're a homeschooled person) and now I can't even go to her house because her dad's a creep. The hardest part though is that she has no idea and is always asking me to do stuff with her and her family. And we don't have much to talk about now because we used to share everything...

just typing it out makes me feel a lot better! I don't think they plan on EVER telling her about her dad, and I wish I could, but I have uberstrict parents (woo. hoo.) and would be in trouble with a lot more people than just them. And, I'd probably be prohibited to talk to her again. Which sucks a lot 'cause somehow it's always my fault anyway. This thread is a good idea ^,^

Hey snuffles. You don't mind me if I ask you a question, right? In what sense is her father a creep? Is he a control freak or something?

I am so angry at microsoft right now. I have been working on a Windows Movie Maker project for about the past week for school, and we have I think XP on our five computers for the class. (It's a media class) Anyways, I brought it home to work on it, which I just did. Except one of my computers at home is a Vista... and I had absolutely no idea that once I saved it on there that I couldn't open it on an XP! doh.gif They made Word so that documents are now .docx, but at least they have the option to export it as a "Word 2003 compatible document." WMM has no such option, and now I can't open it on either one of the other computers at home, nor will I be able to at school.

So that means that I either have to start over... or finish it at home when we still have class time, and then export it when I'm done onto a CD.

I am just so frustrated that Microsoft has to make things difficult and change file extensions... why is that needed? gavel.gif

I looked at a bunch of sites and I don't think there's any way to solve it, besides finishing it on that computer and saving it as the final Media Player file which plays on everything, or to restart it. dry.gif

The good thing is that I don't even know when this is due, but most likely not until the end of the week. Our teacher has been gone a few days and we've been independently working on them in class, so it shouldn't be due any time soon.

Oh well. I'll get over it. wacko.gif

And to everyone else in this thread, I've read over everything and we're all here for you!

JeffHPFan, I sympathize with you. Hopefully everything else goes smoothly.


-----
I've been having an issue of my own, that's been ongoing forever. Its kind of a long story, but I'll try to shorten it down.

So basically, right now, I'm a overachiever with a prominent tomboyish side who some how fits in with the nice popular kids. Like I'm friends with the kids who everybody else likes, not the "popular" ones that everybody hates if that makes sense. Things weren't always that way though.

So all through my life, I've had my three guy best friends. They've stuck with me since kindergarten. No problems here really.

But with girls, I've had a lot of issues. I haven't had girl friends that have lasted more than three years. The last group of girls I was friends with were so mean, backstabbing, and untrustworthy, I don't know why I didn't just stop being friends with them sooner. They made middle school AWFUL for me. So awful I was about as depressed as you can comprehend being when you're 11-13 without having a major tragedy happen to you. And these girls weren't really my friends either. They were just people who talked to me.

So pretty much, this year, I made new friends. I love most of them. For once I have one or two friends that I can talk to and trust. But as with all girls, there's drama. So I've kinda distanced myself by hanging with the guys all the the time. One of the girls totally just well, ugh, I've talked about her before, with all the IM stuff. But, anyways, now I'm half regretting being with the guys so much. They are so much fun, but now, I don't really talk to those girls that much. I need to. Like, the internet is great, but nothing beats real people in front of you, hugging, crying, and listening to each other. Thats something I've only ever experience briefly with these girls, but I'm starting to miss it. I'm so much nicer, so much less bitter, so much happier when I have the girls to talk to. I'm no longer keeping things bottled up. Its great but its not worth the guys, and the guys are not worth them. They're equal. And now I'm caught in between. I can't stand it. I'm starting to fufull my dream of having true friends, but I think I'm blowing it. It also doesn't help I have poor social skills. Like I said , I was miserable in Middle School. I tried to avoid my previous friends. I never really know what to do or how to act in certain situations. I'm just very frustrated and upset right now. I'm getting what I want, but I feel like I'm ruining it.

OK, althoughI am a social inept, I hope I can help. Is there a way to hang out with both guys and girls? Like organizing a movie marathon or something at your house and sort of break the ice between the two groups? Or maybe studying together for a subject? I mean, there is no reason why you should have to choose between them.

Hope everything turns out alright!

My shout-out: I hate Michigan. Yesterday it was freezing and rainy and horrible and today it's 70 degrees and nice and sunny. Today, I like Michigan a lot, but yesterday, I hated it. I wish we had more stable weather because I'm sick of keeping my sweatshirts, sweaters, and long underwear out all year long. One day it's cold and the next it's really warm. dry.gif I don't understand.

Ever heard of "well there's the Michigan weather for yah?" I hate that about Michigan, too, but that's just what always happens. Yesterday it didn't rain that much for us, and it was only a low of about 50 in the afternoon, so it wasn't that bad. Considering there was no sun, it was quite warm.

I just tend to live with it. When I get older, however, I want to move somewhere that doesn't have our Michigan winters cold.gif

Well I partially understand what you are going through because I live in WI (in the east, close to Michigan) I like cold weather so for me the weather is amazing! But I agree with you that I hate the way the weather keeps changing! It always seems to be different!! So I have clothes for all year 'round in my room! I love winter but I also love it when I know what the weather is going to be like!! I also have learned to deal with it and I quite like it now (when I was little I hated the cold)! Another good thing is it is cold enough where I can still where my jeans and sweatshirts and if it is 'hot' out I can still where capris or something!! I guess it is a matter of opinion but I love the weather around here and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

^It depends on what time of year it is. I love how michigan has all four seasons...that sounds strange. We get snow, rain, 90 degree weather, and leaves--lots of leaves. Lately though, as in the past couple of years, winter seems to last longer than usual. I am not a cold person. dry.gif I can appreciate winter but I hate when it lasts longer than any other season. I do like about Michigan the balance of rural and urban...more rural than urban I guess but good enough for me.

I live in Buffalo. One day two Octobers ago, I went to school and it was 70 degrees. When I was home from school, we were in the middle of a blizzard. I totally sympathize with you guys, but I for one am definitely a winter fan. winter = ice = outdoor hockey. smile.gif

Thanks I hope everything turns out all right too. smile.gif

Well, see the thing is, we do have those movie marathons and stuff. But when you combine the guys and the girls its like 15 kids, which its amazing we can have movie marathons in the first place, because all of our houses are kinda small. Its kind of a chore to get that many people together in the first place. And everybody has to be so like "no we can't have it then I'm going to be mad because if we have it then I have to miss it blah blah blah." What I really am talking about is like having really close relationships with both the guys and the girls. Even just one girl would do. I've gotten lucky and missed a lot of drama, but I've also kept a lot of things bottled up inside as always. And what stinks is that I'm always getting a little taste of like opening up to that one best friend, which makes keeping things inside even worse. The guys are great, but they're kind of useless to talk to about well like other guys and family issues.

Also, things just got better earlier today. I found out that the one girl that I live closet to really would like to hang out more, and she even suggested me inviting her to hang out with the guys, so things are looking up. This might cause drama with a couple of other girls but who gives a care, people should be able to do what htey want. Who the heck is going to care in a couple of years anyways? Anybody who does has a pretty saddd life.

Ok, here's my shout out:
My introduction to Geography class. It drives me insane, one of the proff. is all for discussing everything and I don't know if I can handle that. Like the other day we were talking about how positivism had had so much succes thanks to human experimentation during World War II (I swear that's part of what you see in that class) and I said "It is depressing". So my proffessor said that I couldn't pretend it didn't exist, that it wasn't. I answered back and told her that I wasn't denying it. In fact, I had said "It is depressing". Well, it felt good to talk back for once.

Ahhh! I am furious right now. Today my school had a Memorial Day Assembly, where they invited veterans from around us, including those that helped us in a project for one of my classes. The ones that helped us with our projects were actually going to be featured in a slide show that we put together. It was a big part of our grade, so it looked really nice. Well, when they actually played the show, one of mine (I had to do two because of a miscommunication between my teacher and myself) was made smaller so that it would fit with another one. Besides the other student who's slide mine happened to be with, I was the only one this happened to. Of course, that wasn't bad compared to the what they did to the other one. The other slide was actually for a teacher at our school, so I was really more worried about that one because he would see it, unlike my grandfather. I couldn't find it at all! I had to go up and appologize to the teacher because I felt so bad that after helping me he wasn't recognized. He said that he actually saw it, and that it had been cut up and put in a collage with a bunch of other things, but he had seen it. That made me feel a bit better, but then I remembered someone else saying that at least 3 other people's slides wern't in there at all. It is just really bothersome that we worked on those things for almost a month only to have them cut apart or not used at all. The whole point of that part of the project was the assembly, but it was ruined. There was just no reason for them to change everything, especially without telling us. It was really disappointing for the people who actually were sitting with their veterans who had come from different areas only to find that their part was not in there at all. Everything about it was just so frustrating!

HermioneGurlie8, I'm really sorry to hear what happened to your project. Thats awful. But its not your fault or anything. Its over, its done, be a bit crabby, but I wouldn't waste my time dwelling on it. smile.gif
--
I'm sad that my favorite student teacher ever just left. I can deal with people leaving and stuff after a proper good bye. And I can especially deal with it if I have some way of contacting them. But I didn't even get a proper good bye. This student teacher was AMAZING. She was a fantastic Phys. Ed. teacher,. And she was fantastic to talk to after class and in study halls. I looked up to her a lot and everything. She was so much like me. Our personalities were a lot alike. Again, I looked up to her so much. Anyways, she left last Wednesday. On the Tuesday before my friends and I gave her a card. She loved it. She told us we were her favorite students and everything. She said she was probably going to frame it and keep it forever. It made us feel really good. But there was never a proper good bye. The bell rang and I wasn't ruining my perfect record. On Wednesday I tried to find time to say good bye but I had a full schedule and didn't do more than wave to her in the hall. I'm just really upset because like I really looked up to her and stuff and then boom, she's gone.

I'm used to people leaving me. I'm used to people getting on with their lives. It happens to me all the time. But at least theres a hug good bye or something. The only comfort I have in this is the card, and yea thats something, but its not enough. Hopefully, someday, our paths will cross again, but I'm really skeptical on getting my hopes up.

Poor you, WeasleyGirl93! Lots of our student teacher's are better than our teachers!

I was so mad today. On Sunday, I took my door off it's hinges, and sanded it. Yesterday I started painting it. But today, It was to cold to paint, so I am now with out a door until Wednesday! It's so annoying, and I can't even get mad at anyone about it, because it's no ones fault!

I wish people would just leave me alone about the whole issue with one of my friends! Everyone knows that I've had a crush on him for ages and now they're all freaking out because he has a girlfriend, who is obviously not me. When I told them that it didn't really bother me, they basically freaked out.Yes, it was upsetting at first, but I've moved past that fact and will still be his friend! Everyone (including my mom) thinks I'm crazy for saying that, but its true. We're graduating in three weeks and I don't want to leave on a sour note like this, especially since there is a very good chance I'll never see him again. To stop being friends now would be pointless, plus, I didn't really think I would date him anyway because of everything with different colleges and the like. I really just want to be his friend at this point, but if my other friends don't get that through their heads, who knows what will happen! I refuse to hate him for getting a girlfriend, even if I am a bit jelous. He's been my friend for too long to let that happen.
Sorry, I just really had to get that off my chest. I wanted to tell one of my friends, but she is one of the ones who thinks I should never talk to him again. It is just so frustrating trying to get people to believe that I'm not lying and that I really am ok with the whole situation. I even ate lunch with them today and we, along with the other person who was sitting with us, had a perfectly normal conversation. I actually feel bad for him, because he's gotten yelled at by at least three different people for dating her, two of which were on my behalf. I just wish the madness would stop, because I certainly won't stop being his friend over something like this!

That's too bad that your friends can't listen!

My friends are so annoying, they are always trying to get me to break up with my boyfriend, because we are from different groups! It's so annoying, because I really like him, and I don't really care who his friends are, within reason!

So that student teacher...one of the gym teachers lives across the street from me and had a memorial day party. The student teacher was invited to that and my friend saw her and texted me, but I was 40 minutes away at the beach. sad.gif

Ahh I think the student teacher might still be there I went outside to finish unloading the car and I heard her voice but how great does it sound to crash you're teacher's party at 11pm at night. sad.gif This stinks. This gives real meaning to "so close, yet so far away."

That really does stink. I'm sorry! Hopefully you'll get to see her some other time, that way you can say goodbye like you wanted.

Grrrr! dry.gif Stupid Irish weather is frustrating me! I really need to go shopping but it's raining. I'd have to walk like two miles(without pathways and with tons of puddle filled potholes) in said rain to the village just to get the bus I need, which would take another hour(that's a minimum estimation) because of all the traffic which will most definitely result from the bad weather! So really I can't go, but if I don't, I won't get to finish my Leaky Craft-Along project, which I'm way behind on already because of stupid school!

Wow, felt really good to vent! Hurrah for whoever founded this thread notworthy.gif

I wish my boyfriend understood me a little better at times and respected my interests.
When I talk about HP he always makes jokes, and a lot of times I laugh but then there are times that I think he's making fun of me.
I was trying to explain something about the trial today to him and he kept interrupting me and making somewhat mean jokes about the fandom; Maybe I was just in an irritable mood or something but I snapped at him and he made this big speech about how they were just books. I get a lot of flack from everyone in my life about my HP obsession and I just wish there was at least one person in my life outside of the internet that didn't make fun of it. It's not like it's all I talk about, I do have other interests, but Harry Potter is a big thing with me. My boyfriend likes the series, but not the way I do. I think it's a little more difficult when you are out of school to find friends with common interests that aren't online, someone I could go do something with that shares my dorky interests.
Well, now that I've made myself sound good and pathetic I'll post this lol.

Exams are tomorrow and thursday. Our science teacher won't give us any study material to keep outside class, so I can't prepare, which I feel is unfare. And just generally I'm nervous for the exams, but I think I'll turn out fine. Just two more days of work and then I'll be done... headdesk.gif

My exams are in two weeks. Two weeks! I cannot wait for exams because it is the end of school. I want the end of school more than anything. Our teachers are still teaching us stuff that is on the exam. Chem is horrible. I just want it to be over.

Life censor.gif in every single way. I am tired of it, I just wish I could disappear for a while, or just see things with more clarity so I can make it better. I am tired of my parents, university, a so called friend, etc... To make things worse, I am still trying to cope with my granmother dying, but not in the usual way, more in the "why am I not crying like a mad woman?" way. Am I that crappy of a person because I have not showed how I feel? Or because I feel differently? I already knew she was dying and it was a matter of weeks, maybe that's why, but still...it makes me think I am a bad person.

Fer_Keeper, it doesnt matter how many people pass away, i always here people say the same thing. greiving comes in many many different forms, youre not a bad person, youre perfectly ordinary. smile.gif

this has to be one of my all time favourite quotes. it has helped me understand loss of life a little more...

Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.
- Rabindranath Tagore

Good thread!!

I would like very much to scream about the darned media here in the UK, not to mention unruly kids and teenagers, but somehow, I seem so annoyed/angry/appaled about it I'm completely speechless - I will be useless at debating!!

I'm sure everyone is aware of what I mean - how the media blow everything out of proportion. Gordon B, for example: day one they were on his back, can't they give the guy a chance?? And why is it, that it's random greeners like me who see them from the 'outside' see where they go wrong, and sometimes what to do about it and people in 'authority' just plain don't get it???

I'm not sure if this is a happy or a sad shout out, I guess it deppends on how you look at it, but still:
I got an ultimatum from my beloved mother and I am supposed to move from my house soon (a month and fifteen days exactly). I was planning to do so, but I thought she'd have sticked to the old patria potestad (oh wait, that thing is due in a month and fifteen days! yikes!).

The woman is nuts, but at least we agree on something, I have to move out.

My favorite teacher is leaving! I am so sad because she was my English teacher all last year aswell as my theater arts teacher (which was my favorite class ever!) and now she is moving to Tennessee to become a Priest! I am really sad because I only had her last year and I was looking forward to maybe having her sometime again in the next 2 years. I went to a school activities night thing and she was hosting it (if you want to call it that!) and in the end she sang a song for all of us which was a really big deal because she always sad that she wasn't a good singer! (She sang I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack!) and then she started crying, and the almost every one else and I started crying. It was an amazing thing. Then there was a long line to hug her and say goodbye! Then I was all sad and crying for the rest of the night (but thank goodness I got home and cheered up because I found out about the prequel that Jo is writing!) I am so sad that along with that teacher leaving 3 other English teachers, 1 math teacher, 1 science teacer and some other teachers/staff are all leaving! As well as the amazing seniors that are all leaving. School just won't be the same next year! I am sad and unhappy about all these people leaving (especially for personal easons I don't want to talk about on here)!

Edit: Sorry I wrote so much! It was good to get that out.

It really does stink when a good teacher leaves school, even though when you don't know them all that well. I really hope your next year at school is different in every single possitive way smile.gif
Dealing with people living is one of the biggest things we have to overcome as we live, so don't feel bad about it. You are not alone!

Thanks Fer!! I really like this teacher and have known her all my life (I went to daycare with her son) So it is tough for me. Especially when she has been written about in the paper talking about moving and leaving and all of that. But at least I will get to have a good goodbye. (I am going to make her a very nice card!) Also, I did have her for 2 years so that is good! Thanks again! It is good to know that I am not alone. biggrin.gif

That's too bad that she's leaving, but you will probably have other good teachers!

Jo's writing a prequel? I thought that I read that she wasn't!

Jo's writing a prequel? I thought that I read that she wasn't!

*Puts Modly Hat On*

Rowling has indeed written an 800 word prequel that is going to be discussing to a great extent the Marauders. You can find links about this in Pottercast here, and there are some great polls about the prequel in History of Magic here, and here. You can also read more about it on Leaky's main site here. I encourage you all to visit these sites; enjoy the discussions!!

I confronted my Mom to accept one of my wishes - to give some high quality photos of me to my nieces. She didn't bother to give them any photos that I had specially prepared for them when they visited her. It hurt me - like I just don't count in this inconsiderate family.

I don't care if my SSisster of a snake snoops around her nieces houses - I want them to have a good picture of me before I die, or I no long resemble the Uncle they knew.

She accepted it. It's hard enough for me to have so little real connections with any of my blood ties; A tough love program for over 8 years that destroyed our family, a very messed up and troubled abusive bio-F who refuses to seek help, and a viper of sSissster who is hanging around my parents like a vulture hoping they will die soon. She only showed up to see my bio-f after after the heart surgery was done hoping he wouldn't make it so she could pick up some inheritance. He still might not make it. Then people wonder why I have a very difficult time even referring to them as a family?

I have seen maybe too many deaths from HIV/AIDS; how it just withers you away to skin and bones. I don't have to worry too much - I am still a bit heavy, but I have wasting syndrome that did make me look like a skeleton for awhile in 1998 - before I finally agreed to go on HIV medications. I still have dealt with wasting syndrome for many years on the HIV medicines, but somehow my body is fighting back. I don't know how it does it, but it amazes me at times.

I look closer to who I was before I came to Holland 13 years ago. It's like years have been stripped off of me. Maybe I get to bloom for a last time so I leave this life with some positive memories: having enjoyed giving love, and being loved back by my two cats.

I haven't looked this good in years with all the AIDS complications. I am taking some studio photographs so they are really done well. I don't want to take any chances this moment, because after my near death experience last year in May - whose to say how long I have left?

The one comfort my Mom had with the cat I gave her - Dusty. Dusty died this week; now my Mom also feels part of Me died. It makes my AIDS complications all too real for her.

My Mom was crying on the phone. It's already hard to hear the news of the Death of Dusty, my cat I gave to her in 1984 last night. I almost forgot to take my increased doses of HIV medicine tonight. I still have 3 more weeks of slowly getting up to the amount I am supposed to be on for the treatment to be effective. I am in so much pain right now; now my heart hurts.

I am so fortunate to have the two cats
I have right now, Bear and Phoenix. I don't know what I would do if I did not have their kindness and love in my life.

Thanks SnapesSister flowers.gif for your thoughtful and considerate comments. It was good to read them this morning.I don't look at this as life is being unkind - it's just life; neither good or bad.

helyx, I'm so sorry that life is treating you so unkindly right now. console.gif I'm just glad that you take comfort in your cats, and the unconditional love they provide. (I feel that way about my dog!)

My shout out is also to do with health, or lack of it. dry.gif I've had M.E./Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for the past eight years, but in the past two I have improved somewhat, and am able to be more active than I had for a long time. Or so i thought.
For the past couple of months my energy levels have plummeted, and, yet again, I'm struggling to get out of bed before midday most days now. I could have had the best night's sleep ever before hand, but still, it's all I can do just to open my eyes and sit up in the morning. I had thought I was over this difficulty, and was managing to get up at a reasonable time and do some housework, but even that's proving to be a struggle now. It's an achievement if I get the laundry done. And of course, the muscle pain and difficulty moving my limbs is becoming a problem again, along with the complete lack of energy.

It's not the symptoms that bother me so much - I'm used to them now - it's the frustration of not being able to lead the life I feel I'm entitled to. I've just turned 23, and because of this git of an illness, I never had the chance to finish school, or my education, I haven't been able to get a proper job, and my social life is pretty much non existent.

I crave independence, and the chance to get out and start living properly instead of just existing, but yet again, my useless body has let me down, and I don't even know why my symptoms have worsened again all of a sudden. I have to see the doctor in a few days, but he'll just tell me, like they all have, that there's nothing he can do, I just have to be patient and pace myself, and let it run it's course.

I do acknowledge though, that I'm very lucky to have such an understanding family, and that I know there's no pressure on me from them to 'pull myself together'. Trust me, if I could, I would.

Sorry for the rant, I just needed to vent!

My health problems are no where near as severe as some of the ones posted here, but I still need to get them out of my system.

A few months ago, I started getting migraines. Really bad ones. I missed a ton of school, and I am lucky that I managed to do as well as usual. But recently, I have started getting dizzy, and light headed, as well as the head splitting pain. I can barely walk when I have one, let a lone actually function!

I wanted to tell people that my mood has improved, even though the medication is - very chemically fresh. Feel physically off, but I did keep my mind active, so I did not have to think about the pain. I see my Support Bud on the weekend. We will go for a short walk around. I also might see some friends tomorrow who might be shopping at the market in my neighborhood.

I feel like I just might make it. Hope is a slippery ball of light that no one can actually grasp, but you always can reach out for...

I AM A PERSON WITH FEELINGS TOO!! JUST BECAUSE I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE DOESN'T GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO SPIT ON, PUNCH OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY KINDNESS. But I never say no so I guess it is just as much my fault. My conscience seems to tell me it is the right thing to do even if I have a feeling I am only being used.

Positive: My Support Buddy was able to help me get out, walk, enjoy the sun, go to the Public Library and pick up more art books. Considering the naseau and adapting to new HIV medications I was surprised he helped me to get out and enjoy some of the Summer, with enough energy to walk back to my house. I had a great day with him, and we discussed what we could do to improve the support since we have the six month review to do with the Volunteer Coordinator.

Negative: On the way back from the Library, I stopped by the pub one of "friends" had recently started to work. I thought it was a positive place - initially, perhaps. When I tapped him, while surrounded by guys he acted like he did not even know me. He was back to his old habits that I had heard him complain about for years. I just asked him why he did not call for me to come over to his houseboat when he said it on the phone. He said, "I forgot". I just said, "Bye" and walked off. My Buddy Support was a bit shocked. I asked him honestly to tell me what he saw. He said this acquaintance brushed me off as if I was nothing. Scratch one more gay contact off the list.

I get fed up with being ditched during the difficult periods, just because someone can't take even 20 minutes out of their gay party life to talk. They swarm all around when they want me to fit their fantasy, or I just fit a certain type for that moment. I dislike using the term - contact, instead of friend. It's discouraging for me to just have friends in different parts of the World, but not where I live. I focus on them, and their real friendship, walk away from what is no longer there. I am proud I don't waste time when I let people go now, like I did in the past. There are other people more deserving of my real friendship.

I joked with my Buddy. I said, "Yeah, I have a type - the type that is never there." We both laughed. He agreed, because it's difficult in the gay social scene to maintain any sort of stable friendships.

Today, I am paying for the day out in pain - but it was worth it. Not emotional pain - physical pain which I am willing to push through to have moments of real life time for.

Have you ever had one of those days when you know you just couldn't possibly cry anymore and yet there's still water popping off your eyes? I am going through one of those at the moment...I am just so tired of all the problems in my family and my life. Sigh....and crying makes it worse. Now my eyes hurt a lot.

I have a whole new level of respect for Cho Chang now.

Aww... *hugs* Yeah, I know exactly what you mean - I've been having sort of a whole week like that. Lol, do you ever wish you could just take a break from life? I'm definitely not suicidal or anything, but sometimes I wish I could stop being me for a day or two, have a bit of a rest for a while... but, the closest I can get to that is losing myself in a good book.

I hope life and family get better soon smile.gif

How very rude of her... I really don't see what's the point of being rude just because you can take your anger on someone. Hopefully, she's not a regular customer there where you work, luna_sparkle, or is she?

I am so happy, yet so sad right now!! School just ended and I will never see my favorite teacher againg because she is moving, also I found out this morning that my other favorite teacher that I was really looking forward to having again next year, is moving an hour or more away!!!! It is just sad that so many people are leaving. But I just think about all of the amazing teachers that are staying!

Also I was going to walk home with one of my best friends today, just the two of us, and then it all got ruined! That friend that I was having problems with a while ago came chasing after us and decided she would like to walk home with us. She didn't even ask if she could and then it was awkward all the way home. So it was time to say goodbye at my best friends house and we hugged and said we would miss each other, but see each other soon, then the trouble friend had an weird goodbye with my friend. Then we walked to my house where I really wanted to come inside because it was hot out and I have to pack for a vacation I am going on (I am leaving tonight!) So I said goodbye, gave her a hug and went inside. The weirdest part is she just stood in my driveway and waited for her mom to come, then after about 2 minutes she sort of invited herself into my house (thank goodness her mom has good timing and showed up before she could come in!)

That was long...sorry about that...needed to get it out!

I know exactly what you mean Luna! I've been shouted at for all sorts of things!

Stuff the customer - I'm always right! wink.gif
I hate it when they yell at me for not having certain things in stock, or if it's too expensive or if there's a big queue - it's not my fault, if you want to yell about it, go and ring head office! I'm not responsible for the stock, the amount of money in the till or the number of people who want to buy something and it's also not my fault if they have a lot of items that don't have barcodes on. Go and yell at them for having such a lot of stuff! IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILTY!
God, that felt good to type!

UGH. I hate being sick. Especially during the summer. I have absolutely NO motivation - I've literally spent my entire day in front of the TV or the computer. To make things worse, my best friend is shuffling back and forth about whether she should ask this guy out - a guy who is our very good friend. She's wanted to for 6 months, and still hasn't had the nerve. Honestly, it's getting annoying. Every three minutes she changes her mind - "Oh, I think I will!" "No... you know, maybe I won't..."
If you like him, just ask him out! (In her defense, she wrote him a little poem and gave him some chocolates on Valentine's Day, to which he responded and then never brought it up again).
But really. If you like someone, why waste the time moaning about whether he likes you back or not? If he does, great! If he doesn't, move on.

Phew!!

I am tired of being tired! I feel like I haven't slept in over a week, and even though it is my fault for staying up past midnight when I know the sun will wake me up at 5 AM, it is just obnoxious! I wish the blinds would do their job and keep the sun out so I could sleep later without waking up every five minutes. sad.gif
It would also be nice if I could ever figure out my one friend. He is just so confusing. One minute he'll flirt with me, the next its like I'm not there, then he'll act like a really nice friend, then its back to flirting again! It just gets so confusing! This has been going on for ages, every time we're around each other for a while. Tomorrow we graduate, and I just wish I could figure him out before we never see each other again!

I just found this thread and said "AHA! This is what I need!" Thank you! Today has been terrible! I got up this morning went to my college speech class very confident in what I was going to present! I had to give a persuasive speech and I chose to convince my classmates to read HP. (I know it's sad lol.. but it was easy) I had good arguments, strong arguments, but still my teacher kept saying things that contradicted me. She happen to be a HP fan and told me that because she already knew everything about HP that she thought it boring!! ACK! She is driving me insane. Luckily I only have two more classes that I have to hear her talk. She is extremely annoying!!

I just found this thread and said "AHA! This is what I need!" Thank you! Today has been terrible! I got up this morning went to my college speech class very confident in what I was going to present! I had to give a persuasive speech and I chose to convince my classmates to read HP. (I know it's sad lol.. but it was easy) I had good arguments, strong arguments, but still my teacher kept saying things that contradicted me. She happen to be a HP fan and told me that because she already knew everything about HP that she thought it boring!! ACK! She is driving me insane. Luckily I only have two more classes that I have to hear her talk. She is extremely annoying!!

-- unsure.gif wow... that was rough, but it felt good to get it off my chest! Okay, rant over.


Oh I am so sorry for you. It does stink when a professor takes it on you because he/she can.

First off; I'm glad you got this off of your chest Mollycoddle88, and I truly hope you feel better. Second, I am glad you found this thread! And third I am so glad that you chose to convince your classmates to read HP, kudos thumbup.gif And hmm ponder.gif your teacher is an HP fan and she thinks the books boring?? Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion of course and your teacher isn't an exception. Maybe she needs a nudge in the right direction wink.gif

I realize that your teacher "annoys" you but I truly hope that you are able to walk away from the class having learned something. I admire those who can get up and speak in front of people; and you sound like you did a great job! So take a breather; tomorrow is always a better day smile.gif

My shout out is that I have had the flu that I can't seem to shake off and a headache that won't go away.

I'm a bit annoyed with my colorguard coaches at the moment. Yesterday we had rifle line tryouts. Four of us are going to be cut. It was a big thing for me because I never try out for anything because I have a fear of failure. But I really want to be on the rifle line, so I sucked it up and auditioned. It was probably the most nerve-racking 45 minutes of my life. The auditions were very rigorous. By the end, we were all really sweaty and hot and my palms were super bruised. So we finished auditioning, and our coaches tell us to go and talk amongst ourselves. We all know that they were making the decision on who would be in and who would be out. After a few minutes they called us over and then told us we'd find out next week. We're all really upset because it's obvious that they already picked the rifle line, but they're making us sit at home nervous for a week. I just want to find out! I mean, I'm pretty confident I made it (but I don't know for sure because I cut my finger open during auditions and I had to run out with a coach and get a bandaid so I missed part of the audition) because my coaches are constantly complimenting me, but still. I don't understand why they couldn't have just told us then and there.

Phew. Rant over.

Uni makes me wanna yell...
Also the pseudo-anarchistic, violent, revolutionary-posser, power-hungry morons who are in charge of the humanities school's students centre (aka the political parties of tomorrow aka my country's future might be doomed) at my Uni. Thank you!

I hate the fact that I'm moving away, even more because everyone is stressed and on a short temper all the time. We yell at each other everyday every five minutes. What I hate most is that since my mom nor my dad know how to use the computer, all the moving lists and all that we need to get our permit from the embassy has to be made by me, and my dad forgets to give me something or I miss a box and he's blaming me and (again because of high stress) we end up yelling at each other. I hate having all that responsibility thrown at me and then they expect me to do it perfectly or else. I HATE MOVING. Also, it keeps me from coming here since I no longer have a desk, since it's already packed and it is really crowded here right now. I'm stressed, which has never happened to me before, even when I had big tests or projects at school, they never really bothered me. Now, my God! I'm sick of my family. I wanna be alone and feel at home again. I feel that I'm doing the wrong thing by moving, I love Mexico, don't get me wrong, but I'm unused to classes in Spanish, and if I'm going to go to the university there, I feel like I'm going to struggle, and I don't like struggling. Sorry guys! I just keep going. I'll stop. dry.gif

You get summer homewhork? eek.gif My God I'd hate it too! That's terrible! (I realise saying this is of no help to you and actually makes it seem worse but I'm just flabbergasted!)

My Shout out is my parents nagging me constantly about sleeping. We've only been home from Boston a day and I can't help it that I don't deal well with jetlag!!! I'm sleepy and therefore will SLEEP! and would be much happier doing so without being nagged and guilt tripped!

PotterCast is coming to Michigan for a live show. Just listened to the episode. And guess what I find out? They're doing it the week that I am gone for a camp that's going to be boring compared to what meeting the trio would be like. This sucks. Now I'm in a bad mood gavel.gif

My bio- mom said some not very kind thoughts to me on the phone this week. I did not let her slip with it - it was how much she hated being a mother, or my mother,-but its like her mother was before her, like her grandma, like the daughter she had - they all dislike their kids and being a parent. Don't know what type of gene makes them so destructive.

I care about her, but even that is getting stretched beyond what I can deal with. I just don't have the skills to deal with this much hatred. Admitting it is hard. I have been upset about it for several days nows, too upset to mention it in my counseling session today.

I guess I should find pity somewhere in my pockets - but they have holes in them.
