Blog blog; blog blog blog.

I was bored earlier so I went for a walk to go buy a diary/planner thing I have been wanting to buy for a while now. So I was walking along, smiling because it was a nice day and I was out when I saw a lady walking the opposite way yelling and ranting. Now, she was obviously strung out on something, so I tried to avoid looking at her and look unimportant so she would ignore me and move on and we could both go about our days in whatever way we would. Unfortunately that didn't work, becausse she stopped in front of me, yelled something (probably along the lines of "do you want my fist in your face), to which I looked confused because I couldn't understand a word she was yelling, so she punched me in the side of the head and walked off, yelling all the while. I watched her go, said "ow", considered going to the police station just nearby then figured there was no real point and walked off; managing not to cry in the process.

Then I bought a pretty red Moleskine planner so I am happy now. Also I am hoping I get a bruise so I look tuff.

Dear blog thread,

I am 20 now ew fuck that shit.

On the upside, Edinburgh is the Only Good Place on New Year's Eve. Saw Friendly Fires play, and they were good. Then it was Groove Armada, and they were absolute piss. I got groped by some drunk girl, I saw epic fireworks, some other drunk girl decided I should get a kiss on the cheek (I kindof felt bad, girlfriend and stuff, but since I couldn't move 'cause of the crowd I didn't really have a choice).

Oh and it was cool, I got interviewed live on Sky News. Did anybody see me?

Love,
Me!

So I got an email from my friends who were going to Australia. They never got to Australia. Prior to their leaving my best friend was given a notice that her citizenship status has fallen into question, and thus their trip, which they had been planning for over a year, was scuttled at the last minute. She's cutting herself off from the world until it's resolved.

I don't think she'll be deported. It might, however, complicate her schooling for next semester. She might just decide to go somewhere else, away from America. Which would devastate me. But she has to do what's best for her.

Sigh.

Guys. GUYS.

Yesterday I got a letter from Cambridge (as usual, the important news arrived when I was away and my mum had to open it and ring me) and I got an offer!

I have to get 92% in four (all but General Studies) of my exams.

Holy shit.

That is a high offer. Usually they just want three As, and an A is 80%.

BUT.

After a day of stressing and going "I can't do that! I can't do that!" I rang my mum again and got her to remind me of the grades I got at AS (which make up 50% of the final grade) and I worked out percentages for those, and I'm currently averaging 94%.

GUYS. I have an achievable offer to my dream university! All I need to do now is work my ass off for the next six months! This is totally possible! Oh my god I have an exam in twelve days and I haven't started revising for it ok bye got to go work

(not really, there is not much I can do considering my work is all at home and I am not)

Thanks

I just realised that today (yesterday technically but who's counting?) is my second forum birthday and it seems like a good time to say that you guys are awesome, you've been pretty much a rock in the last year or so when my life was up in the air and everything was messed up. I'm so excited to be meeting lots of you soon and so honoured that you want to meet me. I'm quite serious when I say that there've been times in the last two years, particularly the last year, when I've been in tears and people like Edith and Liz and everyone in gabbly and just everyone here have cheered me up and put things in proportion the way that no one else seems to be able to.

Tl;dr I love you guys

I am in the Montreal airport to spend the night again. The last time i was stranded here due to flight delays, I rang up a good friend who lives here and spent an excellent day with a lovely lady and maybe walked away with a hickey or two.
This time I have shilled out the $8 for wireless internet and will probably walk away with bird flu from this ridiculously bad chicken salad sandwich that expires 'monday' (one hour, thirteen minutes from now).

It's basically a dumping ground for the personal stuff that goes on in your life. Want to tell us about how much this guy you live with is an asshole? Or about how you just got a new job? This is the place to do it. This way, we don't have a bunch of threads devoted to personal "here's what's going on in my life" kind of stuff, but there's a place for that kind of thing if people want it. Those who don't care can just ignore this thread and move on.

We got two solid inches, I had dinner with one of my bestest friends and afterwards we made snowangels (it was his first time. How can you grow to be 35 without ever making a snowangel??)

In other news, I saw my old therapist today who I kinda stopped seeing. I lamented about how I feel trapped by my anxieties and that I can't live my life the way I really want to. He told me the only thing to do is to confront the problem headfirst. He gave me a task - he always gives you a task - I'm supposed to walk into a restaurant, pick somebody of the other sex who is sitting by himself, sit down at their table and start eating away at their bread. You know, the bread that is always provided in little baskets. I'm not supposed to say anything at first, but if the other person getting confrontational, I'm allowed to say "I'm in therapy, this is an exercise for me."

I can't decide whether this is totally insane or actually brilliant. After it sunk in, I laughed for about 5 minutes. I'm probably gonna do it though, if I can muster the courage.

Today I got stuck in the creepy ass basement at work. It's dark and dingy and there are a lot of locked doors and it was really hot and oh god I'm glad there were no bugs or I would have flipped out. I had to go out through the place next door (but in the same building) and felt lame. The reason I was in the basement in the first place is because some lady wanted some 32x40 boards cut in half and I had to use the elevator to get the box upstairs to cut it. She could have just gotten 2 boxes of 20x30, but NO. So I was hot and uncomfortable and creeped out all because someone didn't understand that she could have made my life so much easier. Whatever, though. I hope she gets a papercut on her palm like I did from her stupid board that she needed tomorrow at 9 even though really I shouldn't have had to finish it before Wednesday morning. A blah bloo bloo.

Sorry, I just needed to complain.

In more interesting news, they opened a shop across the street that sells caskets. I want to go ask them if I can nap in one and pretend I'm a vampire if someone tries to wake me up.

Dear internet,

I had typed up this big long post about everything, but my phone logged me out, so, in summation:

First day back at work, and no one really brought up my sister, thankfully.

Thanks for your support though, forum. Seriously. Thanks guys.

My roommate and I have painted a few rooms in the house and it looks great. We still have a lot of work to do.

He and I got into a silly arguement the other day, and the stress cause my nose to bleed a lot. Then he wouldn't let me help him for the rest of the day.

So I thought I would invite him out to a movie tomorrow night. Only he turned me down.... kind of... He said he wasn't sure. Meh. Was inviting him to a movie a good plan? I said I was paying. How can one go about making amends with a rooommate?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #992 on:** 05 Jan 2009, 19:46 »

Buy him some beer? That's what I would do.

Emaline · « **Reply #996 on:** 05 Jan 2009, 20:45 »

I can't buy him beer, since I am six months underage.

Saying sorry to him typically goes like this:

"I'm sorry."
"Sigh. What are you sorry for?"
"For upsetting you...??"
"Sigh. Stop apologizing."

michaelicious · « **Reply #997 on:** 05 Jan 2009, 20:59 »

Dimmukane · « **Reply #998 on:** 05 Jan 2009, 21:07 »

Buy him some porn? Or some candy next time you go get groceries? Make him a plate with macaroni arranged on it artistically?

Eris · « **Reply #999 on:** 05 Jan 2009, 21:18 »

Y'know, it might be the best thing to just drop it. He may have moved on from the incident already and you apologising would seem like you are draggin it back up again. My brother will get really angry and yell at me, but 5 minutes later he is absolutely back to normal; this could be a similar situation (though probably not as drastic a change). I say you just go back to acting normally, maybe make something and share it with him, and leave it be.
