April showers bring May ants...I knew they'd come back but I dunno - how am I supposed to be okay with that?! No matter how much I knew. I am in no way prepared to deal with this anymore so I'll be moving before my lease is up. The ants have been a problem since I moved here in September of last year (kitchen and bedroom). I don't have enough early evidence to go to court and strongly prefer not to over something so stupid, and the super's suggestion to move to another suite appeals to me about as much as staying in this suite does. They'll still get their f***ing rent, but I suppose I'll be down a power bill & and internet bill.

Why is it that what I want and need exists in poems,stories,or internet friendships? Why can't what I want and need be right here,with me?

nonso · 04-14-2011, 06:30 PM

This stupid sorority girl that's in my group for one of my classes. I can't wait to be DONE with that class so I won't ever have to look at her botox lips again.

Have a feeling I'm entering another major depressive episode. Told my dad, and all I got was: "Not this again. Just think happier thoughts."

It's like no one can accept that it's basically a permanent disorder. All my family think: 'this again? I thought you cured your sad stuff when you left high school."

purplerainx3 · 04-14-2011, 07:02 PM

Maybe no one will ever think of me as a best friend.

saso · 04-14-2011, 07:24 PM

im wanting to have connection and close friendships, and yet i keep pushing my friends away and cancelling commitments. also, I don't think i will ever undo the damage that was done to my self esteem. ( thats sad but on a better note..i don't give up, and there are plenty of good moments I cherish here and there..so i guess i will just keep on existing and when i can i'lll do more than exist and i'll suck it in while i can. )_the other option ,death, doesn't thrill me at all.

Coming down with a nasty cold. I knew this would happen. Every single time I've started an exercise regimen after not exercising for awhile I've gotten sick about a month in. It doesn't even matter that I've been eating super healthy ugh.

trendyfool · 04-14-2011, 11:21 PM

I want to give up. i feel as though i just tried to swim a race and lost, and now i'm heaving by the side of the pool feeling defeated. i've been like this my whole life and i'll never change. so why try?

JamieHasAnxiety · 04-14-2011, 11:29 PM

I'm too scared to let this one girl into my life, who says she really cares about me.
I can 'feel' that she really cares, she always manages to remember and ask me about my problems that I have had, and how I feel.

But she's so young, and innocent, if I tell her the real me, she might run away.

Is she the person she says she is, and should I tell her who I really am deep inside, and would be accept, and still love me like she said he will?

I just don't know.

On the site note, I feel like a fatass, I weigh 148 or something, that's small, but even the mirror is starting to make me think I am.

I need to drink, anyone want to get drunk with me and go crazy?

foe · 04-15-2011, 12:01 AM

Being poor and having no social life.

spacebound_rocketship · 04-15-2011, 02:06 AM

Just found a picture of me on facebook with some people.
Aaargh I look hideous, I knew I looked bad...but that bad?
I deleted my facebook for this reason it messes with my confidence...but I couldn't help myself from going on my moms to talk to my cousin, then of course I couldn't help but scroll the wall.

-_-

pickyone · 04-15-2011, 02:32 AM

That I have to go to work. *rolls eyes* That I'll be at a playgroup where I don't feel the most comfortable. And that I have to work like fourteen hours. No fair!

Namida · 04-15-2011, 02:46 AM

It's fleeting but i'm bothered with my lack of communication skills, low self-esteem and lack of social life. And that I think I flopped my chemistry test today.

Flatline · 04-15-2011, 05:43 AM

That I have a shift at 11, and I know that I should be getting ready, but my nerves are making me procrastinate... I was gonna resign after today, anyway, but I dunno if I can even make it through today... :'(

caflme · 04-15-2011, 05:50 AM

Me "What are you doing"

Son "Nothing"

Me "Son, nothing is never nothing, nothing is always something, so when you say nothing I know you are up to something so don't say nothing. Show me what's in your backpack."

Son "It's nothing."

(mom rolls her eyes and proceeds to pull everything out of backpack till she gets too - The Water G U N)

Mom "This isn't nothing son... this is something... and as hard as it is to believe - you would have gotten in trouble for taking a water g u n to school."

DJ "OK, can I go now?"

Mom "Yeah... I love you... but stop doing nothing."

Moral of the story... when a kid says nothing.... always assume it's something.... and check everything.

----------------------------------------------

This was a real conversation that happened between me and my son this morning... I posted it on my Facebook...

... but here's where it even gets more interesting.

Facebook deleted/wouldn't post the second part of the story because of the word water gun or watergun. I had to spell it out as above with spaces g u n to get the rest of the story to show up on FB... how screwed up is that.

JGreenwood · 04-15-2011, 06:07 AM

I am the most horrible person in the world...Aren't I?

Freiheit · 04-15-2011, 06:16 AM

Getting used...once again...I really have no backbone do I?

But he was suspended a few months back for taking a small pocketknife to school... 3 days...

and another kid has already been suspended for bringing a toy gun to school....

Can't take any chances.... if it doesn't pertain to school... leave it home...

For him it includes MP3 players - he's gotten two taken away and I had to make a special trip (getting out of work) to go pick them up.

I really wish I didn't have to be the harda** badguy all the time.

But... lol... I couldn't get mad at him... I tried... but it's just so ridiculous how our society has gotten.
