My grandfather died this morning. I felt numb all day and finally started crying about 16 hours after the fact after reading his obituary. I never wanted to read my name in someone else's obituary. And I can't even go to the funeral, because that's on Tuesday and I'm at the point in my schooling where missing a day could jeopardize my entire education plan. Plus, the funeral is at least 4 hours drive away from my campus. So I get to be stuck over here with pretty much only my boyfriend for comfort and have to keep studying because I have a bloody exam tomorrow.

I knew things were going downhill for him, but I still wanted him to be at my wedding when I have it. And now it's too late. God, the pain. I really need a cuddly fuzzy creature to lavish with love right now.

So very sorry for your loss, Mishatu. And even more sorry you can't be there to say your final goodbyes. ::

Really sorry for your loss. Perhaps you can do a small little ceremony at home? Even with just a picture of him and you say a few words with your boyfriend and then at the end of it cover the picture with a handkerchief or cloth and light a candle.
It's not the same, but it will be personal and respectful and let you say goodbye.

Sorry for your loss, Mishatu.

I'm housebound with a virus. Feeling icky, weak, and pathetic.

I don't know how to even feel. This isn't even my problem, but I feel like crying over this! My friend would love nothing more than to be married and have kids, but she's with someone who doesn't want either of those things. So she's looking at never having kids or getting married because she knows it's what HE wants. She is constantly putting him ahead of herself and putting her happiness aside so he can be happy. I know one day she's going to resent him for this and it breaks my heart knowing that this is going on. I love her to death, but I wish she would just get rid of him because she's so miserable lately.

(I feel like I use this thread a lot, so sorry)

Today I went out on a limb and it broke. I found a guy last month who was quite honestly maybe the first or second person I've ever found that I've actually LIKED, and we'd been seeing each other basically every day, so I kind of talked to him, and it turns out that he really doesn't like me in that way, nor is he looking for a relationship. Our friendship is safe, which is good, but it still freaking hurts and I feel like I might cry at any moment, which is a feeling I freaking hate. I kind of feel like just rage quitting trying to date, because it freaking sucks and I can't find anyone I like anyway.

rockinwithrammstein, that sounds like a tricky situation. Unfortunately it sounds like something your friend needs to figure out herself... hopefully sooner rather than later.

SheWhoRoars, Ouch, at least your friendship is safe and you know where you stand. That is always a good thing.

I kind of feel like just rage quitting trying to date, because it freaking sucks and I can't find anyone I like anyway.

Just remember, the goal of life isn't to find a partner and have children, it is whatever you want it to be. I would encourage you to embrace your single life and enjoy it as it is! If you find someone you want to date later, then great. But it doesn't mean you need to wait until then to have fun and be happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wagS8pzyLY

A few days ago, I went out to my car and got everything ready to go. I started backing out of my driveway and realized that my steering wheel wasn't responding very well. So I pulled back into the driveway, got out and looked to see my two passenger side tires were destroyed. I immediately thought someone slashed my tires and so I made a police report and all that fun stuff. We found a battery clamp for a car in my driveway. It wasn't mine because it was way too old.

Jump to today. I got a phone call from the on post investigator that takes care of cases like this. He said that there's no way that someone slashed my tires like that. He said that in the pictures the MP's took, there appears to be a rusty streak under my car where it looks like something was dragged across the driveway. Based on the images and the damage done, apparently I was the one who slashed my tires unknowingly by backing out over the battery clamp. When I back out of my driveway, I back out around my husband's car because he's parked behind me and I guess I ran over the thing with both tires,, effectively slashing them. Somehow I caused a blowout on the back tire without even hearing it!

I feel stupid and I am very down about this because I feel like I shouldn't have been so stupid. I'm one of those people who jumps to the worst case scenario, as well. I called my insurance company as soon as I noticed my tires and I'm so scared that they're going to think I tried to dupe them. I hate that I always think this way.

UGH I feel like a moron.

I wouldn't stress about it too much. I would have freaked out the exact same way. I jump to worse case scenario too.



Long story short I hurt my foot on aug 30, got a cast on sept 15 and had it until oct 26th and was off work. I started back to work last thursday and i noticed in my LOCKED custodial closet that i use at work someone had written/carved into the newish wood shelves saying this couple at work (who happens to be lesbians) which i have absolutely no problems (and i barely know) with love me and i'm beautiful. i was like WTF this freaks me so i talked to my boss. he came in my closet yesterday and took pictures and note of it. Today I walk into my closet and someone has written on the wood about how we like the same sex (women) and how they want me to join them. So i freaked out called my boss and now they are going to investigate it. I'm so freaked out by it the only people that could have done it is my coworkers (so someone that i know) and i don't believe the people whose names got dragged into did it because they didn't spell one of the names right . I think if it was them they would know how to spell their own name. I am the only one that uses that closet as i keep my cleaning cart and all my supplies in it. The only other person in my building has her own closet. My sexual Preference is nobodys business but mine. And honestly I see personality more than gender. I feel like someone has invaded my space and I feel like my protective bubble has been popped.

I know i may be overreacting but it just gets under my skin. And i'm worried that they either A) wont catch the person, or B) the person will have no repercussions at all even though it is sexual harassment. :s

I don't like to complain much, but I am absolutely heartbroken about this. Having missed out on all previous Uta no Prince-sama plushies, I was going to order as soon as I could for the Maji LOVE Revolution Otoya and Tokiya plushies. So I stayed up until 4 AM on Nov 13th to order them. The charge stayed on my temporary authorizations for a few days and disappeared last night. I emailed Gift customer support and they said there was an error when authorizing my credit card and that I could only pay through bank transfer or cash on delivery. The order was being sent to a company called Big in Japan to be forwarded to the US, and it says right in their rules that any cash on delivery items will be refused and cancelled. Since I live in the US, bank transfer to Japan seems almost impossible. So I had them cancel my order so I could order through FromJapan. They were both in stock when I submitted my order, but I received an email tonight saying that Otoya is out of stock. So through all that hassle, I'm not getting the one plushie that i wanted the most (I like Otoya more than Tokiya). I'm so disappointed and frustrated. I just feel like crying, all over missing out on an anime plushie... add pathetic to the things I am currently feeling.
