Shit day

Breakdown, sadness, disappointment, lost metrocard.

Highlight: saw a good student production of Time and the Conways. Heartbreaking stuff.

[Vanguard]

Well, technically it was via private message on Twitter, so that makes it... better...?

Oh, who the criky fuck am I kidding. It sucks either way.

[King Kool]

That does suck.

You looking for a wiki sysop revenge lay?

[Master Gunner]

*hugs Van*

[Vanguard]

Apparently the universe hadn't had enough of taking jabs at me today. For the first time in, I don't know, roughly a month I fire up Skyrim on my 360 and download the title update. Now my save is corrupted and I can't open the "items" menu without it locking up my console.

*starts to cry*

[Metcarfre]

Have you considered the liberal application of alcohol?

[GreigKM]

Fuuuuuuuu
I regret taking Friday classes
All my friends are like 'lolololol spring break'
And I have class tomorrow -_-

[Vanguard]

I'm considering it now, especially because it looks like going into ANY kind of inventory screen in-game CRASHES IT.

Dammit, that does it. I'm raiding my stash.

[JustAName]

I'm sorry, Van. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 This is crap and you don't deserve it.

[Vanguard]

Okay, to clarify on what happened here. Long story short the girl still has feelings for her ex that she was with for a few years. Granted, I don't know why, considering that from everything she told me about him he's abusive, an all-around jackass and possibly a closet pedophile.

We can also add to that list geographically undesirable because he lives in New Jersey. Not that that's stopping her, because apparently she's intent on moving back.

I am selfishly heartbroken right now. One of my best friends who I only got to spend a few short months with moved away in December to pursue her ski photography. She said she was coming back in spring after her job ended... but she's got a gypsy heart and I told her "nah, you're going to fall in love with a boy and never come back". Turns out I was right. It literally feels like I just got my heartbroken hearing the news that she won't be moving back here... but I am SO happy she is a smitten kitten with a nice boy. I am just selfishly sad right now that she won't be in my life. I didn't get to spend much time with her, but we both have such an amazingly strong connection with each other that we feel like we've been best friends forever. I have missed having a best friend outside of married life for so long.. then she came into my life and now she is gone again. I know people just say "oh you'll meet new friends"... but it's not that easy - ESPECIALLY here. The people here are very different and hard to relate to imo. I have had an extremely hard time getting connection or deep bonds with anyone. I really hate this state more and more everyday.

I have a solution.

Move to Missouri.

Isn't that the same guy you told us about a while ago giving him the diminutive form of Richard as a title? Wasn't he constantly harassing her? If it is him then wow, that really does suck.

Well, with the wonders of the modern age, atleast you won't be outside of communication range. Just keep contact. Who knows, maybe it'll still be nice to talk to eachother every now and then

Sadly, I have to specify that you're referring to a different abusive fletchmonger of an ex that belonged to the last girlfriend who, while we're drawing parallels here, also broke up with me via social media. The only real distinction in that case is that she didn't actually tell me she was leaving me, but rather I found out via the incredibly unsubtle kissy-faced messages left on her Facebook wall.

... I really hope this isn't indicative of some sort of pattern. My heart just won't be able to take it.

[Lord Chrusher]

Fucking Faculty* and their silly ideas of having PhD students finish in three years.

*The academic unit rather than the staff.

[Dutch guy]

Crusher, I can sympathize with you there. (Dutch politics and universities seem convinced it's entirely possible to do any technical study in the allotted time. Even though 90% of the students take AT LEAST a year extra)

[empath]

Are you a government health inspector?
An employee?
Do you at least have a damn hairnet on?

No?

Then GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY KITCHEN!



Jesus Fucking Christ...

March is apparently intent on destroying me, so to add onto yesterday's events I got into a car accident earlier today. I'll give more updates later when I'm back home from the hospital. For those that need to know now, the abbreviated version is on Twitter.

[JustAName]

Jaysus, Van. D: I'm really sorry. <3

*hugs tightly*

I'm on Skype if you wanna talk, anytime.

Hope you're okay.

[Psyclone]

Hang in there, Van.

Fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck off. I hate this. She's tired so she comes to my door and tries to act cute at me, and when I'm already bothered from other stuff I'm having to manage, I'm not in the mood. So I ask her to go away. She gets miffed. She starts asking about my plans tomorrow. I'm going over to the other house because I'm having a friend over. Oh the fuck no, he's sleeping in my bed. Stop the fucking presses. I've stayed over a friends' and had friends stay over before. The bed is PLENTY big enough for two without the slightest bit of contact. There is NOTHING sexual going on. But no, she starts asking leading questions, and saying am I *sure* IX is okay with it (he is; I have checked every time in the past, made sure to inform him, whoop de fucking do).

It's a friend. He's not been doing so well. I trust him to be in my bed NONSEXUALLY. I know my friend group is a little odd for liking to be close to one another without having any ulterior motives, but that doesn't mean there ARE motives that I just won't admit to. Oh, so it's not sexual? And he's been more depressed than usual? Well, I must be playing therapist, right? Why do I have this sense of duty to "cure" all my friends? FALSE QUESTION I DON'T. I TAKE CARE OF MY FRIENDS WHERE I CAN HELP BECAUSE I LOVE THEM. And you go on about how I've been shutting down since I was twelve (nope, that's when I actually started to have real friends, so that's when I started OPENING UP), and how I have all these friends on the internet, and "What do [I] get out of the Loading Ready Run forums anyway? Is it better than interacting with real people?" Um... they ARE real people. And here's the kicker, "Well, this isn't a real-person way of interacting."

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

I point out that I've stayed over at another friend's house, in his bed, before. "Well, __ is gay." Um, no. He's very very very very pan. "Well, he's still gay. The way he dresses..." Are you FUCKING kidding me? THIS IS COMING FROM MY MOTHER WHO TRANSITIONED. HOW CAN SHE BE SO PREJUDICED? THESE ARE FUCKING STEREOTYPES AND YOU...

I just... I'm sorry that I have a group of friends who like to cuddle and be in contact with one another. Who like to be close without being sexual. Maybe you can't grasp that. But you don't have to act like I can't see the situation for what it is. You'd think in four years of this, I'd have wised up. But no. You, who don't know these people, believe you have all the answers. I feel like a fourteen year old throwing a temper tantrum. But I really cannot handle this.

[the_lone_bard]

Hey Fayili, I know exactly what most of that's like... for the most part at least. If ya needa rant to someone I'm here.

[Elomin Sha]

Just watched Transformers 3. What a crap film.
