I spend more than $900 a month on health insurance.

Long story short: When you get accepted to six colleges. Go to one that you can't afford and pass over one you could have gotten a free ride for four years. Then you drop out of the one you can't afford and there's no way to get accepted into another one two semesters in. And now you're looking at community college (which isn't bad, but considering all the hard work I went through in high school for this because you're poor...) and a $3000 loan/debt from the college you dropped out of.
People on internet games use little logic and often make really stupid remarks.

That is definitely fucked. Education is so annoying.. I'm going through that phase right now (I'm in the last year of high school) where I just really don't want to be in schooling and just do what I want.. Naturally if i want to get a high paying job, i can't really drop out :( Just gotta hold on for the last 6 months and then uni.Quote:

I just returned from taking my son to see his lawyer. I sat in the car and started reading the first book of Hunger Games.
The lawyer was "impressed" that I still allowed my son to live at home. I get that a lot. What am I supposed to do? Kick him out on the street because he and his little sister decided to get high off of K-3 and "fool around"? My daughter is no "innocent". But she was still victimized.
Today, he agreed to a plea and will have to be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life. He supposedly has no memory of what took place. That's awfully "convenient".
But both of them are still my children. She's in rehab for her continued problem with K-3 and truancy. There's no harm in my son living here if she's not. I tell both of my kids that they can think of me as Sweden. I'm completely neutral in this mess.
:bang:
Damn Zhaylin. I don't know what to say :hug:
You may have been playing Call of Duty with my son then. People literally sign off when they play live with him because he talks like such a shit head when he plays. Don't get me wrong, I love my son. But he talks like a shit head on xbox live.Quote:

Haha, at this point, I'm just stuck in an unfulfilling job. Basically, it was just one stupid mistake that messed me up, and that was choosing not to go to a college that gave me a full scholarship lol. I really don't know at this point. I just don't care where I go, as long as I don't burden my parents anymore. ;]Quote:

I guess there are benefits to being what a sociologist would call "ritualist" (which is usually defined as "cheapskate.") I can only buy stuff with cash because I know I will forget to pay off a credit card or anything like that. But it's also why I can't have nice things...
Bright side? Nice things only make me happy when I do not have them; the pursuit of nice things makes me happy but once I get it, I forget all about it. Damn you, consumer urges! DAMN YOU, marketing professionals who know how to play off of my consumer urges!

I have a swollen lymph node in my neck, and it freaking hurts. I have no idea why the fuck I keep getting these freaking issues, but it's really getting annoying. I'm think maybe it's because my toe is still infected, but I dunno. All I know is I'm getting fed up with the clinic and hospitals and shit.
That's weird Spart.. in high school I remember I had a swollen tonsil on one side only that lasted about a month. Then went away. No clue why.
Sorry you feel bad champ :hug:
Thanks Ophelia :)
:hug: OldSparta. Feel better soon.
I'm currently ranting because I went back to sleep this afternoon. WTH?! But then it hit me. I'm going on a trip with my hubby from Wednesday til Sunday. I ALWAYS stress before a trip and sleep WAY to much. We've not been on a trip in a long time. What's worse it that I have no appropriate clothes to wear, so I'm going to have to ask him for a clothing budget. I have plenty to wear, but nothing really nice and it annoys me that I have to buy clothes when I could use that money for other things. There's no telling when we'll go on another trip, but (hopefully) I will have lost a lot of weight by then and then those clothes will be useless.
But it's just an auction we're going to. I don't have to get anything super fancy. Maybe I can find just a couple nice skirts and shirts that I can dress down and wear anytime...
I also need to remember to buy some food I can cook using my water heater. Maybe some Cups of Ramen or Mashed Potatoes and such. Hubby will starve me otherwise. That man hardly eats anything. I've learned to pack food over the years lol
Complaining about car insurance. 567 every 6 months. I really need a job. :/
I miss Alyzarin, I look forward to to her returning soon, but I really miss her right now. :damnit:
You people don't even want to know what I pay in various expenses.
My rant: I didn't get to finish that second dream. :(
I know, hardly worth a rant, but it was an enjoyable dream.
Yeah me too. She does the mothering thing way better than I do. Especially in this thread.Quote:

She's more than just a motherly figure, she's kind, and can even be dominating if she wants to be....So many layers to her, just knowing them makes her a true friend to me....I guess I am dying right now, could explain my passive and nonchalant demeanor over life lately.Quote:

But then she'd hug you!
*hugs*
Someone needs to post in the man candy thread! I literally have millions of pictures prepared :lol: but don't want to keep double posting!!!
Damn! That's cheap. I pay about $2100/year, which I split into 3 back-to-back payments. But I don't think I'll be able to do that this year... so I might switch to quarterly (4 payments throughout the year).Quote:

Ah well, plugging in the headphones and pouring another glass of whiskey. Guess I'll just kick back on the couch for a bit...
I went to help my mum today, she works at my old primary school with their computers.
After I'd done everything I just sort of wandered around and looked at how it has changed and all the parts that are the same. I started feeling really nostalgic. And in a way, depressed, but not typical depression, just really sad at how much I have changed and how short the time seems and how far I have diverged from where I was going when I was young.
I sat in this concrete cylinder that has been in the playground forever and I just thought about all these memories that had been coming back to me throughout the day and also as I lay there.
.... I've put this ego over myself through the years that is obstructing me from doing what I want to be doing. I guess it is necessary to change a little....
I was... am.... a very shy person and I don't really want to hurt anyone or annoy anyone.
But I realised that it is impossible to be happy in life if you let people trample on you and assume they are good people. I realised fairly young that everybody is not nice, for whatever reasons made them not nice I'm not sure about, but that is probably always going to be a part of life. So I slowly learned over the years to protect myself, especially from the bullies at school. I didn't fight, but I beat them mentally because I could see right through them.
I took this too far, I think, and I have become mean to even the people who may care about me, and even the people who are nice.
I am going to drop my fake persona now. It may take a while, and I will probably need to use it and improve on it for some circumstances, but I really need to return to how my genes and environmental collision set me out to be in the early years of my life.
I'm just grateful I never lost my sense of wonder about the world, even though I ventured in to a different area these last few years. Others cannot say they are so lucky.
Please tell me thats not for liability? What the crap do you drive? HahaQuote:
