I once went out with him... I really did, he's real. I just wanted to share, on facebook I never know which of you did anything. Well that was... until he deleted his page. [This message has been edited by lostladyknight (edited 06-01-2007).] IP: Logged |

Haha. I didn't think you made him up. That's really cool, and even more coincidental since you dated him. I thought maybe you knew him in passing. IP: Logged |

Okay has anyone ever argued with someone that just really has no logic? Like their blatantly wrong and their being mean and making up their own reality, but its so hard to argue with them because they actually believe they are right even though everyone else knows their not!? I dont even know how to describe it. Has anyone else ever met anyone who has done this? IP: Logged |

I was defending my opinions of a person, and though some of my points didn't really come out the way I wanted to, and sometimes had little or no logic, I felt that the person I was arguing with was just being very, pardon my french, bitchy, and just couldn't see MY point of view, and I wanted them to. So, yes. IP: Logged |

Yes. Constantly. For example, my mother thought a do-rag was some traditional garb from an African country. She didn't believe it arose in America. And she still doesn't. Okay, yet another question... MacBook: Black or White? Which is better? IP: Logged |

So you know the saying: One door closes and another door opens. What if you're not ready for the door to close yet? IP: Logged |

Sometimes the door closes anyway, even when you're not ready. Sometimes the door that opens takes a while come around, and you're trapped sitting there like "what?" It feels like the world left you behind. You just have to keep feeling around in the darkness looking for the that next door. Or... you make a window. Easier said than done. IP: Logged |

How'd you ever guess? But yes, you're right. I'm just not ready to move on to summer and the next school year. The only thing I'm happy about is I am getting my braces off. *sighs* IP: Logged |

St.A, was there anything you really really wanted to do or get done this year that you didn't? Now you can use the summer and early school year to get a headstart on making next year even better. Like she said, don't look for a window, take the hammer and make one! IP: Logged |

Well it's not that I didn't get what I wanted accomplished finished this year, like you said. More like, I wish I had more time to continue what I was doing. I really liked that place I was in and now the place just kind of... was pulled from under my feet. And I have to spend the summer agonizing over it and then move on in September come Sophmore year... I don't know, I'll just "suck it up and move on." IP: Logged |

Unfortunately, that's what life is all about. Just be happy that you had a great year and you have those memories tucked away now. And also that you're still going back to the same school and will have the same friends and see the same people that made you happy this whole year. Freshman to Sophomore year isn't that big of a change. Just wait until college comes around, then the real world. I wasn't ready to leave college. I missed out on so much of my four years there that when it came time to graduate I was desperately hanging onto every single moment. I'd give anything to have it back, but I know that's impossible and I just live forward now and take every opportunity to make up for my lost time. It gets easier as time goes on. IP: Logged |

I haven't been in too many relationships, but one in particular has literally scared me for life. We had been "together" for a while but then it kind of just ended. Then we got back together and it was somewhat serious. Then 3 days before graduation, my class had its annual waterfight, boys against girls. Long story short, the guy who I was with accidentally pushed me into a slide. I cut my knee open on the edge and had to get over 30 stitches. He appologized in many many text messages and then I somewhat forgave him. After a while, we ended up hooking up, then he went to Ireland to visit family. He came back and never spoke to me again. I was kind of upset but kept telling myself that it was for the better and the whole nine yards. But what makes it kind of hard and awkward is that now I see him on the subway in the morning even though he goes to a different school. We practically just ignore each other. Now I found out that one of my really good friends (who I met this year) said one of her best friends is going out with him. I met her and you can say we are good aquaintances. The other day I saw the two of them walking together and part of me wants to go up to him and ask him why he never talked to me but then again, I don't want to talk to him at all. I had tried to forget about him and I mostly had until that whole thing came up. Any ideas or advice on how to handle the situation- talk to him or just leave it alone? I really don't know what kind of advice came from that but I guess it depends what kind of situation you are in. Sometimes, you are with someone and there really is no spark anymore even though at times you think that person is the greatest person in the world. If that person is causing you to carry such a burden, I'd say to end it. No matter what, in all situations, you are are going to regret it somehow, but (from my experience) it works out for the better. Really sorry for that ramble. I don't even know if half of it made sense. I am now realising that I strayed pretty far off the orinial question, but maybe it will help someone out. =] IP: Logged |

I'd like to start by saying that my father is a conniving bastard. He played mind games on me after my parents divorce. He disowned me, told me he didn't love me, told me my mother cheated on him and a bunch of other things. Since then I have had major panic attacks/anxiety and have had to see a therapist for my depression. However I dealt with it and I am in a different part of my life now. Today I found out that while I was gone my little brother (8 years old) broke down into tears saying all the sick things my father has been saying to him about the divorce and his financial situation. Apparently he was told "not to tell mom"... When I found this out I broke down completely. I was absolutely furious and couldn't stop crying. I don't care what he fucking says to me, he can't talk to my little brother. I just hate him sooo much. I don't know what to do. Part of me says not to blame myself, but at the same time I stopped visiting him and stopped paying attention to what he says to my little brother because I hated being around my father. What do I do. Do I call him and tell him what an asshole he is? Do I ask him politely not to talk to my brother (which didn't work when I wanted him to stop talking to me), or do I firmly warn him to stop? My idiot father doesn't pay full child support, and while he complains about being broke he can afford to take his slutty wife out all the time. Do I threaten to make him pay full child support. I don't want to stop my little brother from going there, but if he is going to go through the pain I did, there is no other option. How do I know he stops? IP: Logged |

Are you your brother's legal guardian? If you are I think you need to sit down with you father and explain to him that if this sort of verbal abuse doesn't stop you're going to stop allowing him to be alone with your brother. However if you're not, there really isn't much to do other than talk to your brother's legal guardian (I'm assuming it's your mom) and tell that person your concerns and hope they agree with you. Because with a kid that young you really don't have all that much say. I'm really sorry you both are going through that though. I'll sleep on it and see if I can't think of something better.

My mother is his legal guardian. I feel as his older brother though, it is sort of my responsibily to protect him from anyone (including his "father") who is hurting him. My mother is just as sickened as me, but I sort of feel like I have some sort of obligation at least. IP: Logged |

LLK, maybe you should try and take the next step and make something more of it...if thats what you want. you can't help who you like. maybe the reason you cant 'give up' is because you won't, or maybe you shouldn't. maybe there is something else there and you should take the next step. IP: Logged |

You know how on livejournal you can have this really long post and then you can link to it so all you see on the main blog page is something like "to read more click here" and then the person can click and go to you're long blah blah blah? Well I'd really like to know first what that's called, and second how to do it. I'd really really appreciate it if one of you could explain it to me. I know I'm a n00b for not knowing... thanks.

To the two posts befoe me: I have no clue. Is it [odd?] to have a memory, (very recent, say a week old) and you've been trying to supress this memory and all the feelings that go with it for a week; and then all the sudden really want it back? IP: Logged |

In response to St. A. I guess it depends the situation but the human mind is so complex. I find that nothing is impossible, and nothing is unnatural. If your mind thinks it wants this memory back, why shouldn't you? If it feels it needs to get rid of the memory, by all means follow your mind. Without your mind, what else do you have? Don't become the stereotypical blonde. IP: Logged |
