Things That Suck

[CrazyTaraWitch]

This may sound odd, but it had never really occurred to me until right now that pain isn't a normal state of being. In a way, it's a happy realization, because it lets me know that others don't feel like this, but for me it sucks. I'm not talking emotional pain-- I figured out a long time ago that not everything lives in constant emotional pain, and I myself haven't in years. I mean physical pain. Mine isn't bad; it's mild enough that I get about my daily life, and sure it affects what I do and how I do it, but not significantly. Without ever thinking about it, I'd just assumed that was... normal. It sucks to discover that life isn't supposed to be like this; I'm not supposed to have constant neck and back pain, even if it's so slight most of the time I hardly notice. It sucks to realize there is a pain-free existence I'm missing out on-- I don't mean never feeling any pain, because that would be no life at all, but to be free of chronic pain... It sounds amazing, and it sucks that I don't have that.

Headaches. Especially ones that aren't alleviated by pain killers.

This really suck. Like, enormously. Like... God, this just sucks so much.

And what about this - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-2 ... anism.html

Politics sucks. And so do the lawmakers. I hate 'em. Who are they to tell us "Hey, folks, sorry, but ya can't download stuff, cause it's WRONG and you'll end up in a jail"? Who the hell are they to throw our money, the money of the taxpayers, the money that should have been used to either build the bloody freeways, or just saved, 'cause Slovakia's deficit is kinda high... Who the hell are they to deny gay people a right to marry each other? Not to mention that the sodding Martin Schulz (President of the European Parliament) hadn't even GRADUATED high school and he's the one who can decide "Yeah, I want your bleedin' money, like, NOW." Okay, not now. But in one week. This is what Slovakia's idiotic politics and fucking stupid, communistic prime minister got us into. It's not important to explain what exactly it is, I would probably write... a lot actually to explain everything. It's just.... Bollocks. It's nuts. And we can't change it, cause some stupid people decided it's good to save the bleedin' Spanish banks, which are not even 3% of the Spanish market. And that Greece should remain in the Euro-zone, even though they would basically bankrupt AND break it. This sucks. Like really really sucks.

Not being able to be there for my girl :( It sucks not being able to hold her when she's sad.

My throat is scratchy and my lungs are full of crap despite I don't know how many pots of tea and tomorrow I'm giving in and going to the fucking doctor even though that's not exactly how I want to spend any amount of time on my birthday whatsoever.

The outside temperature here increased by ten degrees celsius from yesterday to today. It's too much in one day, and in the Netherlands that doesn't work out that well. It is extremely hot and damp outside and inside and I don't think I will be able to sleep the next couple of hours. They did forecast a storm, and I was looking forward to it, because it might cool the air a little. But I just saw on the radar that it slippes past us. Darnit! I really hope it's still going to rain overnight and that tomorrow it will be a little bit cooler.

The oppressive heat that I am out in for several hours a day. It's 108˚ in the shade with humidity inching up towards 100%. I started wetting a hand towel, freezing it and then wrapping it around my neck before going out. Then 5 second later...completely melted.

Shel - I bought this bandana at rei that has some crystals in it. You soak it in water or even ice water and it will stay wet for hours. I've been wearing it to run.

Thanks Deb! I'll run by there next week when I have some free time. I wish I had someone to follow me around with a mini a/c or something, boy would that be nice.

Guilt.

Had to reiterate to a friend that we're no longer more than friends. From the start I told her that I wasn't interesting in anything more than a casual thing. But I've always suspected she felt more than I did about the matter. I've been depressed and irritable lately. I told her before that I just wanted to be on my own, to have space. Well, she didn't take the hint. Had to reiterate today that we can't be anything more than friends, though I really want to stay friends. We're close. I just am not attracted to her at all anymore. And I'd rather maintain a friendship with someone than be a complete jerk to someone and lead them on.

Well. Of course she was crying. I wasn't. (me = jerk) Can't help the way I feel about the situation, but if there's one thing my parents did, it was instill a POWERFUL sense of guilt in me.

Insecurity :/

My girlfriend and I had our real disagreement (I wouldn't call it a fight, but it's definitely the closest we've come) a week ago, and though I guess we fixed things now I can't stop worrying. She's acting normal, except twice I've sent her random "I love you" messages and she hasn't responded; sometimes she doesn't, and it doesn't normally worry me, but after last week it makes me feel insecure. I'm worried things aren't okay, but she doesn't talk much about feelings, so I don't know how to help things get better. I feel like bringing up the issue again would just make things worse, because I honestly think we came to the only resolution we could, it's just a sucky resolution, so I'm stuck feeling insecure and not knowing how to improve the situation, or even ask if we're really okay.

There's even a part of me that thinks, This is probably what the beginning of the end was like with my ex, only I didn't see it that time. And then I tell myself I'm just being insecure, but I don't know if that's really all it is, or if someday I'll look back and see that almost-fight as the day she started to fall out of love, like I can now look back on a fight from 2.5 years ago as the day my ex started to fall out of love.

It really really sucks to feel insecure and have no idea whether it's just paranoia or an actual issue to worry about.

Love sickness.

I have a crazy crush on my ex-tutor of English Proficiency. She's American and came to teach in Belgium for one year because she had been awarded a grant of some kind. Now, she left the country and is living in New York (I'm trying very hard not to be jealous about that). And she's straight. And she has a boyfriend named Michael. But she did have us read a paper on a book about homosexual desire, which struck me as extremely ironic (this was before I found out that she was straight, but either way it was an impossible situation, so yeah...).

She's gone, but I can't get her out of my head. Stupid teacher crushes. People always think they're funny, but to me, they're really not.

Sigh... (by the way, if anyone has tips how to recognize gayness in a 'femme', do tell)

When something you were excited about getting gets lost in the mail

[Foomatic]

People getting laid off at work. Just, it can happen at anytime to anyone, and it worries me thinking that I'm next.

[BeMyDeputy]

1) Waking up to disturbing dreams at 2:30 in the fucking morning, after waking up at 3:30 the day before (for no reason, just woke up), then not being able to sleep.
2) Neighbors shouting and breaking a bottle outside, waking my fiance (who had woken up at 4:00 the day before, also for no reason).
3) How incredibly, incredibly tired we're going to be tonight.

I live in a relatively quiet tiny village there are a few things out of turn that happen but most of the time its good here. I am very respectuful and a good neighbour. Ashford ( I live in a village within there) as a town itself has one of the lowest crime rates in the U.K today for no reason I was awoken but this noise and it turns out that someone smashed in one of my living room windows, the bottom part is totally messed up and splintered on the outside, had it not been double glazing there would have been glass all over the place. Coz its the weekend I wont be able to get the housing people out to deal with it till next week. honestly its beeping disrespectful, to have someone violate my home like that, without due cause. I am so angry. Honestly.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I started writing a story more than 6 years ago. I still think about this story, frequently, probably once a week on average. And I still can't seem to write it. It won't get out of my head, and I feel like it never will until it gets written.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Yesterday and early today my throat felt better after days, but now it's all scratchy and bleh again, just in time for the work week.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

It sucks to realize I no longer know my childhood best friend at all. I had a few best friends I guess, but the one that sticks out the most in my memory is a stranger to me now; I look at her facebook and see a woman I don't recognize. I mean, she looks exactly the same physically (except I'd forgotten how tall she got), but she's a completely different person. It started long before the last time I saw her, back in middle school really but the changes were obvious maybe junior year of high school, but we weren't close any more by then and I haven't seen her in 4 years, so looking at her facebook now, I realize I don't know her at all. I can't see *anything* of the girl I knew, the girl I climbed with and swung with and sang with and fought with and built ruins with and celebrated Easters with and went to Hogwarts with and swam in the middle of the night with and watched scary movies with; that girl is long gone. I think this new woman is probably pretty cool, certainly our two remaining mutual friends still care a lot about her, but it makes me really sad that I can't see even one tiny spark of the girl she was, because I really loved that girl. She was best friend, and I wish there was at least a little bit left of her.

Everything just feels*off*. I'm grumpy at my best friend, for reasons that are probably stupid, and my girlfriend is being oddly distant tonight and though I know it's probably nothing it was so not what I needed tonight. I'm feeling like my best friend doesn't care much, and now my girl's bein very non-communicative which just makes me feel more like I'm unimportant, unvalued... Sometimes I feel like people are only in my life because it's convenient. I know that's not true or fair, but that's how it feels sometimes. I worry that I become an obligation, and that the people I love don't really enjoy time with me

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Sometimes it sucks to have an 18 year old girlfriend. I have to worry about *parents* again; it makes me feel like I'm 16, and I hated being 16...
