*hug* may i ask what the bloody fucking hell happened?

@bells:
by any chance, was this the dentist your dad was seeing?
also, in terms of cartilage piercings, i'd be looking at a 9.
@SK: it's a convention. here's the website.


i went to bed at 6am today. woke at 10am. raced up to get arty (was stuck behind a mercedes top-down convertible going 25mph for the ENTIRE FUCKING WAY), got back and set her to work making dumplings (she had the good sense to call my mum on the way and get her to start cooking the chicken). i got to sewing, and we both finished a tad late, leaving at 12:30 (after i got cleaned up). today was the library anime club's kickoff party, an asian potluck. despite us being (slightly) late everything went off without a hitch, with the kids voting on their favourite series and afterwards watching Poyo Poyo. as we were leaving, i noticed 2 of the pelham club kids hanging outside, as it turns out they didn't get the time-change email in time, so, feeling bad for them, i ushered them inside to meet some of the windham club kids, gave them some dumplings, and a bottle of water each (in addition to the year's schedule thus far). the kids picked out Princess Jellyfish as their first series (surprisingly, i didn't expect that one to fly :0 ). afterward, i drove arty home......till i realized i forgot to take brownie out. i raced over to salem (arty in tow) to let the dog out just as Ms. Clark got home ( ;^; ), thankfully she hadn't gone in the house and was very happy to see us. drove BACK to derry, dropped off arty, then headed home where i did dishes. am now too mentally active to sleep. will likely crash without warning later. am currently wearing the yukata and hakama i made, they are the comfiest fucking shit. -w-

incredibly long story but short: she killed her girlfriend by accident when she was 21, has been living rent-free with a psychiatric doctor for the past 3 years, killed herself on August 18, 2014, in Argentina. she was a wonderful person that just suffered an incredibly bad upbringing and a shitty playout of life events. i can't hold it against her, she really was suffering, but she's hurt a lot of people with her loss.

@Cockle: *hug*

@Kari: Sounds like you had a good day :3

Work was ok; mostly bitter about the parents' refusal to understand my financial situation (Yes; I can totally afford a brand new car with full coverage insurance and still be able to keep my phone active and move out of their house when I'm making less at Walmart than I was at the hospital 3 years ago </sarcasm>). Mom's convinced that any vehicle bought not at a dealership is automatically a lemon; somehow ignoring the fact the van I'm driving right now was bought secondhand >_>;

[Chocofreak13]

@cockle: i can understand the bittersweet feeling there, since while you may be happy she's not hurting, you're sad that she's not there.

the sucky thing about most peoples' thoughts on others committing suicide is that they're selfish pricks for "not thinking of what they're leaving behind", despite most suicides weighing that HEAVILY before they finally give into the pain. some may even see themselves as lifting a burden off their loved ones by killing themselves.

i'm glad you at least have the maturity to understand the other side of the coin here. most people don't.


@pent: there isn't ANYONE else you can ask to come with you? your brother in law, a friend, etc etc? :\


EDIT: so i was friended by my mum's cousin in canada (accepted as an acquaintance), and he added me to the family genealogy group on facebook. i'm reading some of the family history that another mum cousin (out in vegas) posted, and it turns out my great-grandpa (grandpa's dad) died at 34, in 1935. if i recall the story correctly, he was a park ranger that either had a heart attack or an allergic reaction to a bee sting while out in the woods and crawled to a nearby cabin for help, but died on their steps. despite the tragedy and early loss, though, he still managed to sire seven kids. o__o;

(4 boys, 3 girls. my grandpa was kid #5, and apparently his younger sister Mary (kid #6) died of leukemia (according to him) when she was 18, a week before her birthday. ;^; )

[Nichi]

Interesting.

Also, my sister might have helped turn things in my favor on going to look at that car...if those people will reply quickly enough, as dad has plans later this afternoon :\
Also also, mom's off work for no reason >_>;

[Cockleshell]

my father deliberately stresses me out over college starting by busting into my room at 6:00 AM and announcing to me exactly how many hours i have left in my summer vacation and that i will be sitting in an 8 AM calculus 101 class in 1 week and three days

if that's not enough to start a fucking panic attack in anyone i'm leaving

[Nichi]

If my mom did that, I'd punch her in the face >_>;;

[Chocofreak13]

why do you think i sleep with a sword next to my bed : D

[Nichi]

I have one not far from me -w-

Which, no word on the car; beginning to think it already sold :\
Also, my package didn't arrive today ;_;

[Cockleshell]

SO PATH OF EXILE GOT AN EXPANSION I AM SO EXCITED

prepare to not see me for a few days

[Chocofreak13]

welp, i am fucking exahusted. just spent the afternoon calling about 40+ animal shelters trying to find placement for 2 soon-to-be-homeless senior sister kitties. their owner is a local man who's been visiting my mum's jobs for years, and recently had to place his wife in a nursing home. he's moving in with his daughter, whose husband is viciously allergic to cats (i think?) and has said that, if they don't get homes by friday, he's going to have them put down. hindering me is their age, and the fact that they haven't had shots in a few years (apparently the wife made the appointments, which likely stopped when she got sick a few years ago). thankfully, i have leads on 2 shelters in the area which may be willing to take the cats, and according to the Monadnock Humane Society (not one of the shelters--too far away), most if not all vets won't euthanize an animal just because it's old. >>;

now, i wait and breathe.

[Bella]

Ugh, good luck with the cats Kari. It sounds like the man's in a tough situation but it still pisses me off with people euthanize pets just because they're no longer convenient. A pet is a lifetime responsibility and if you don't have SOME sort of (humane, non-killing or abandoning) plan for your pet if you can no longer take care of it, you shouldn't fucking have one in the first place. ><

[Chocofreak13]

i think the stress of it all may be getting to him. he's really distraught about having to give up his wife AND his cats. the money he's willing to spend on killing them could just as easily be used to give them shots so one of the shelters would actually take them. but he's apparently not thinking of that (or not willing to put out that cash). >>;


also, my hard drive's failing again. whoop-de-fucking-do.

[Bella]

Good luck with everything. ;^;

I just about had a heart attack a few minutes ago. I left my computer for a few minutes to get food, and when I came back I couldn't tell if it was on or off — the screen was black and I didn't hear the fans running, but the USB hub lights were still on. It didn't respond to keystrokes so it wasn't on hibernation. I ended up holding the power button, waited a minute and restarted it, and it's been okay since. Hopefully it was just a Photoshop-induced crash (which happens semi-regularly).

Also I went to the clinic, my nurse practitioner checked for strep throat and got a negative back on the test. She's not sure what the problem is  exactly but suspects it's some sort of upper respiratory infection. Taking antibiotics now. 

[Cockleshell]

So my jaw is swelling and incredibly hot and I'm at the dentist suffering what the fuck

edit: the dentist

gross: ShowHide

 expressed a good half a cup of pus and blood out of my jaw wound and flushed it out. i have to take 3 antibiotics a day now
