On saturday night after I got seriously drunk playing flippy cup and taking shots, I tried to give CPR to my friend's dead cat.

I think there is something wrong with my psyche, or something

MrBlu, my sympathies to your friend's friends and family.. that's awful..

Now I feel bad for being excited but I still am because.. I got a job! The temp place has a position that starts next Monday and lasts 7-9 months and is temp-to-hire and ok it's just insurance verification but shit it's a job and it pays more than my last job and the temp place actually offers good benefits which is good cos I think I need new glasses.

Goddamnit I am sick of having to watch every single cent I have in my bank account. At the moment I have $49.45, and my phone bill is $57.12. I have been waiting for $63 to get put into my account for a few weeks from my Health Fund as a claim, and on sunday it was a decision of whether to pay the bill or take money out to pay for a train ticket to get home. The phone bill is waiting until I get that money.

I called the health fund people today and apparently the money was transferred on the 15th of July. Into my father's bank account, not mine, because he is the name on the top of the list and I am a dependent. So he has already spent the money on cigarettes or something, so I have to get some sort of money off him. I have another trial at this cafe, which will pay me $36, which will help me buy a book for uni, but I really hope I get this job because this is getting ridiculous.

I get pretty depressed whenever I go into shops because I know I can't afford to buy anything at all, so what is the point of looking at the stuff I can't get? Of course I spend most of my time is Sydney where you can't walk down the street without being assaulted by stores, so I either don't leave the house or spend money I am not allowed to then feel awful for ages because of it.

I feel your pain Hannah I've gone from earning about 700 dollars a week to earning 350, none of my expenses have gone anywhere, I just don't have as much time to work anymore

On this topic I was at university just running a full on 10 hour burn on Ulysses in a vain attempt to understand why I didn't understand it. Anyway mission more or less accomplished by 3pm and I wanted a break to maybe have a few smokes and a cup of coffee, and I've noticed the campus has been changed a lot this semester. Lots more non union things floating around like the Subway in the refectory, the pie and hot chip van that displaced the blood donation van to the other side of the student centre, the largest cup size at Mr Beans is called a "grande" instead of a "large" and the bookshop is always understocked because it got bought out by the co-op group.

My question is with all this progress in the realm of selling out how come my goddamned campus can't have a decent tobacconist  for crying out loud

Today, first I won $10 at work, and second a manager came up to me and was like "Hey, I put something on your desk" and I was like ooooooooo and it was an application to join his team and he was like "um well I thought you'd maybe like to join my team because um you have been doing really well um" and I was like WOO because his team talks to bankers, not customers, so I'll get cussed at way less and also I'll be at the same level as a supervisor and I'll get a pay raise. Fuck yes. I still have to apply for it, but I'd say my chances are really high. I'm turning it in tomorrow.

Dear Internet,

Today I had to take off work, due to my boyfriend being in tears over a rather infected wound on his body. About three inches from his belly button. It is painful. I took off to care for him. Then we decided to visit the ER. Again. I do not drive, and he had been taking vicoden to help with the pain, so he decided he'd have his ex fiance take us. So she did.

Basically, once there, they attempted to numb up the wound, and then lanced it, squeezed some pus/blood out, and then put some packing in it. And sent us on our way with stronger pain medicine and a different antibiotic. And then we headed home. And the ex complained the whole time. Meanwhile, the boy sat in the passenger seat, coming down off of morphine, apologizing to her every five seconds.

The doctor wanted me to stay home again tomorrow to pull out the packing and in general take care of the boy, but both he and the ex decided I should go to work since I have been missing a lot of days lately. So I get to go to work tomorrow and stress the fuck out because all he and the ex do is argue and all of the attention had to be on her(I mean, dude had somebody come at his penis with a scalpel tonight and all she could do was bitch about how sick she was feeling. Nothing at all about how he is. I mean, maybe I'm fucked up[undoubtedly] but I'm of the opinion that when someone has been all dying in the hospital, my shit goes on the backburner, and whatever they are going through is more important. Especially if they are someone I care about. Especially if my shit is little and their shit is big. I mean, stomach and headache vs huge pus filled crater/possible staph infection. The later wins. Dude does need to stress out about my problems when he has got huge problems of his own.) And I am going to feel like shit tomorrow. I mean, she had to argue with the doctors. I am pretty sure they know what they are doing. She is going to fuck up taking out his packing I know it. Basically, I'm hella concerned. How do I convince him to send her home, and to not stress over me taking the day off or taking a half day?


Take care/Try to remain staph infection free,
Emaline

P.s I am not dead.

Staph infections are nasty business. Probably compromise and see if you can take a half day? Having to remove packing out of a gaping wound is a pretty good excuse for having to leave early or start late. Is it possible for you to swap shifts with someone at work or does your job not allow that?

Guys on Friday I am going to buy two pet rats. One is all black (well dark brown but whatever) and the other is all white with pink eyes. They are so cute and they are both all curious and adorable and I've wanted to get some rats for so long and now I am going to have them and I will train them to do stuff. I'm still thinking of names so feel free to suggest things (though I am probably going to go with Jekyll and Hyde)

Man, I have been hella wanting to get rats lately. But the boy has two cats, and I don't know where we'd keep them and blah blah blah. But basically, if I got rats I'd name them Jasper and Ella. Because I am strange and those are awesome names.


I can pretty much call into my job and tell them whats going on and get the whole day off. But the boy is so worried I'd lose it, that he doesn't want me to stay home at all. He almost didn't want me to stay home today. I can't swap shifts with someone because I work open to close every day of the week. Except Friday because I am/was supposed to go to Lollapolooza, but if boy is still dying, I will be staying with him. Or working to make up for lost time. Basically, not matter what happens, I will be working open to close no matter what even when I am not scheduled just because I feel like I am not pulling my weight around at work. I will probably take a half day without him knowing it, and just walk home at 5pm.



ETA:

Or, if they are two male rats, you can name them Mr Vandemar and Mr Croup. Or if its a lady rat and a gentleman rat, you can name them Door and Mr Mayhew. (sorry. boy just made new WOW character, and gave me the idea)

Also, I like your avatar, Jimmy.

Actually, you'd be surprised. I run better on 2 hours of sleep than I do on 4 or 5 because it's more like a power nap than anything else. Granted, I usually crash [harrrrd] around 6 the next day, but that's when I get home from art school, so it works. Probably not the healthiest way to go about things, but as it is I have to get up in 5 hours and I'm kind of considering staying up another 3...

Like I said, HEALTHY

I do, but these two were the closest.  That situation has died down a little, the alienated one doesn't want to fight and the ticked off one is already over it because he's put up with my kind of shit before.  I still feel fucking awful because I was manipulating them, which is something I feel like I should have learned not to do in high school.  But back then, I really only had one friend, so I guess a lot of that stuff got deferred.  Anyways, I cried for a good 4 hours out of guilt and I'm not worried about losing either of them for good anymore.

  Or ask if I can put on my Christian music and see if they like Current 93 or Danielson or something.

Dear Blog Thread...

Today I made me some summer.

RECIPE:

Sunshine

Warmth

Water

Barbecue

A red ukulele (a new passion!)

Four tiny little kittens frolicking

and climbing all over you

on a farm not too far away

Blackcurrant-pie (freshly picked berries of course) and cardamom cake

with lotsa custard

The pleasurable company of good friends

KITTENS :D :D :D

A sense of satisfaction with the weekend past

And that irrepressible gut-feeling

that there are more good things to come

that work and uni

and general everyday drudgery

are all still several weeks away

I hope all of you are enjoying your summers as much as you are able :) cheers from the sunny north!

Blog Thread, my girlfriend is driving me up the wall.

Don't get me wrong, she has the capacity to be very sweet and caring.

She also has the capacity to be very hurtful. Apparently I am a "typical sexist male" or somesuch entity through these events:

Over Sunday and Monday, she texted me, while I had no phone credit. She was aware of this and made comment to that effect. She just wanted to talk to me. Aw. On Tuesday, when I got credit, I texted her. She was doing homework, and since it's her final year of high school, made a comment to the effect of her homework taking priority over me. I felt that this was fair enough, but it was still a little hurtful. To express myself, I changed my Facebook status to "brushed off in favour of homework". The first comment was a friend who said, "smack the bitch".
I responded with "she smacks back". I thought this implied that she was not the sort who was going to put up with bullshit such as smacking bitches and would not hesitate to retaliate were I to engage in such idiocy. She read it as me being displeased with the capacity of a female to strike back at a male, rather than me being displeased with being smacked.

Thus begins a series of text messages where she, in the same message, called me a "typical male" AND accused me of being sexist. I called her out on this bullshit, and she claimed that it was a stereotype that I was fulfilling. Displeased with her dropping the ball on this particular issue, my response was simply, "Okay, sure".

This comes after an episode where she claims that I was too physically oriented whenever we met, so I decide that we should meet outside of a setting that implied physical intimacy and talk. Apparently wanting to wait until we actually met was some kind of cardinal sin - she wanted to know what I was planning to talk about right then and there. I was hanging with a friend at the time, and told her so, so I wasn't inclined to speak, even over text, at that time. Apparently this wasn't good enough, and she made comments to the effect of apathy for my desire to speak of what was on my mind.

Blog Thread, every time I try to alleviate the concerns or desires of my girlfriend, she just becomes irritated. This, is turn, makes me feel awful. I'm not really asking for advice - just being self-pitying.

... girlfriend...

I bet if this story was told from her perspective, it'd be exactly the same but with a different tone of voice. People read different things from the same situations. Some people will read that and think you were sorta dumb, others will read it and think she's sorta crazy.
Basically, neither or you are wrong, neither of you are right, you both either shrug these things off as minor perceptive differences, or you let them erode away at your relationship until you're both super bitter about it. Neither of you are mind readers, but I think that the longer you're together, the better you'll begin to read each other and the less often these little miscommunications will happen until eventually, you both may as well be psychic.
All the best!

What people mean and what we hear aren't always the same thing, so sometimes we get these reactions. It's okay though. One in maybe a hundred people will hit it off with you right off the bat and never say anything that offends you, ever. Everybody else is going to angry or upset with you at some point, but that doesn't make either of you a bad person and you shouldn't make a bigger deal out of it than it is. The next time any of you get into an argument with your partner (or anybody, I guess) over something little, just have a little patience and give them the benefit of the doubt. It's always a better idea to assume the best than accept the worst.

Interesting...



Anyway, has anyone ever removed surgical packing from someone? I had to take out my boyfriend's last night, and I swear the doctor put in at least a foot of it, and I only pulled out maybe 6 inches. I'm a little worried that maybe there is more in there, but I'm also thinking that maybe because I was so worried my brain was just like "OHMYJESUSTHATISALOTOFPACKINGSHITSHITSHITOHMYGOD!!" when in fact it was not, or that maybe it was a foot, and I pulled out a foot, but it did not look that way due to it being all scrunched up and covered in goop. Thoughts?

It may have shrunk due to soaking up fluids. If you really think there's more in there, definitely go to someone.

I felt around the spot and I couldn't feel anything unusual. I shone a flashlight in there, too, and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. He says he feels great today, so I am hoping it just shrunk. Otherwise he'd probably have a fever and be hella ill by now.

Has anyone read Black Hole? Basically, this spot looks like that dudes second mouth. Except below his belly button and not on his neck.


Sam, I know a couple kids like that. Bike thugs are all kinds of crazy. The sad thing is, most of the ones I know are supposedly pacifists, yet are the most violent and brutal people I know. Weird, huh? Same goes for the straight edge kids around here. Its so strange. Like they have all this pent up rage.


I want to apologize for basically coming back and blogging. I didn't plan on it. I've just been hella busy, and basically only have time to check/post in one thread at a time. Hopefully I will have time to actually post in the other threads I have found interesting soon.

I am on my family's PC (my laptop has been packed away to take to sydney this afternoon) and it is sounding terrible. Like, my laptop is pretty loud and will get louder and softer for no apparent reason, but this is even worse. The fan is going a lot and now it is making some strange motor-y sound that comes and goes.

And the screen isn't scrolling smoothly, so I think it's getting close to death as well. Not really my problem, because it's not my computer, but when it is really loud and motor-y when dad is playing solitaire on it, it doesn't sound positive.
