Okay, as usual, I need to vent...

This has been the day from hell. Right now my own mother is not speaking to me. I have been staying at my mother house for the last couple of days (it was horrible... if my power ever gets turned off again I am staying with my dad or on a cardboard box in the backroom of my store), well this morning my mother blaimed me for the fact that both her and my brother were late... this was crazy because I was ready a whole 20 mins before she was. Well, my power got turned back on today so my mom insisted on picking me up from work (even though I wanted to stay downtown and try to catch my new kinda-crush-but more on that in a sec) and we were on the way to my place when my cell rang... it was one of my students asking me where I was. I told her I don't know what she meant and she told me that my ass of a "director" had scheduled a rehearsal at 4 for my kids and didn't tell me! I argued with him over the phone and told him I was on my way. My mom flipped out She started screaming at me that I was ridiculous and I had my priorities all wrong. Sh also told me that I was taking away from her day and her plans and that I was "done with all this high school ****". I told her that this was not my fault and I had made a commitment to these kids. She just kept yelling about how I was selfish and I told her that I never said she had to pick me up and she screamed "what the hell does that mean?!" so I yelled back, finally breaking down "it means I am calling dad." I got out of the car and slammed the door. That was at 4:15 and she hasn't spoken to me since then. I have no food except popcorn and oatmeal and all of my makeup and hair stuff is still at her house.... my stepdad even thinks she is being nutso.

I am gad to be home though. Very, very glad

On a happier note- I met a really cute guy that actually might be interested in me at my friends halloween party! He's from Brooklyn and is older then me, which I like. At the party he kept calling me "bella diva"

withoutlove, I am so sorry. I totally know what that's like. And it's absolutely infuriating. All I can say is just breathe and move foward.

So lately my computer does this thing where I sign in to my BWW account, but I'm still not signed in when it takes me to the home page? It's weird. I rarely have the time to go on here, and when I do finally have the time, it won't let me sign in! So if I don't post for a long while, it's not because I'm just. It's just my computer hating me.

My singing recital is this Sunday and the show opens next Thursday...f*ck.

I'm sorry everyone has so much drama! I hope it all clears up soon. Kels, that sounds like a nightmare, and I think we've all been there. Give yourself and your mother some time, and she'll come around. Moms always do.

If it's any consolation, my roommate freaked on me today. We were watching NCIS, there was a throwaway line about perfume being a woman's strongest accessory, and I said I didn't think that was true. My roommate disagreed, I said "I don't know, none of my male friends notice something like that," and the next thing you know she's screaming about how I always have to get the last word in and be right and disagree with everything she says. THE HELL? I literally said nothing except "I'm sorry," and then she stormed out and I haven't seen in her in hours. Oooookay. Usually, I realize it when I'm being difficult...really not seeing what I did in this situation. It is TOTALLY a Monday.

Ok what's the deal with people freaking out about non-existent issues?! You'd think you guys shot someone's cat with a BB gun or something. Kels, I hope your mom will chill out a bit by tomorrow. All that yelling and screaming can't be good for her especially since she's obviously already stressed out. And Jag, I don't even know where that crazy storm came from. That seems so random...but then again I don't know your roommate and she could be the most random person ever, so yeah. If you need some back up I'm always ready for a throw down!!

Well today I scoped out a pretty cute girl. She was more or less my type looks wise, but then I spoke to her and all I could think was "Dear god this girl is such a raging bitch!!! She's probably single and will remain as such for a long ASS time!!!!" Seriously she wouldn't stop bitching about this that and the other, and mind you to her I'm pretty much a complete stranger. Unless you know someone better don't let them see that particular side of you yet. The side that says I'm a raving lunatic on holiday from the home. I'd rather she just looked cute and kept her mouth shut instead of letting me know right off the bat that I'd NEVER buy her a drink at the bar and woo her with obscene gestures, yes I'm a charmer. Although by being a hateful harlot (I like alliteration) she kinda saved me the trouble. So hooray for bitches!!!

GAH! So much drama in the world!

Jazzy - Yeah.. hs sucks for that very reason. I hope you work things out with this guy! It sucks that you have to hide it.

Stock - I hope you had SO MUCH FUN at the concert!

Kels - Yeah, it sounds like you just need to move far far away! Run! As fast as you can!

SAMN - Good luck with the recital/show!

JAG - LOL Sounds like your roommate is psycho!

Tofu - OH tofu, LOL yeah, one day you will meet a cute girl who ISN'T a bitch! One day!

And if anyone is having a bad day, sorry if you've seen me post this on fb/twitter, but I cannot get enough of this music video. It's WAY too adorable and puts me in such a good mood and hopefully it will for you too!

You and I - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqvKzk5AoB8

Have a great day everyone!

I had auditions in theatre class today ^_^
And once again my professor told me I should be in the city campus.
I wish these kind of decisions were easier.

I find it hilarious that there are so many random conversations going on in this thread.

All of you going through drama, you are in my thoughts!

So Daughtry. Oh. My. God. What a difference 3 years has made since the first time I saw them. I even noticed a difference the 2nd time which was only 7 months after the first time. This is their first headlining arena tour, and they have ARRIVED! The stage set, the light show, the pyrotechnics! WOO HOO! And they looked and sounded amazing. The did a cover of Possum Kingdom (is that the name?) that was out of this world. And Chris did an acoustic of "In The Air Tonight" with the band kicking in with the drum solo halfway through that was to die for....his voice was impeccable last night. And of course all of the original songs from the old and new CD's. And he was hawt as crap. *sigh* I love those guys.

Thanks for the backup, tofu! She came back around midnight, apologized and said the problem was 99.9% her, because she's hormonal or some such. All is well, except for her still being a little crabby. But as long as it's not my fault, whatever! And it's a good thing that girl showed her true colors right off the bat. What a nightmare!

Stockard, I'm so glad you had fun! And yeah, "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies! That's awesome. Your husband went, right? How'd he handle your swooning? Really though, I'm so happy you had a great time...there's nothing better than seeing a band you're really invested in improve every time you see them. Especially if they're hot!

[StockardFan]

Posted: 11/3/09 at 1:37pm

Yep, he went with me. But he seemed sort of bored, although he claimed he wasn't. It's nowhere near as fun seeing a band with your S.O. as it is with a girlfriend you can scream and squeeeee with.

There were a few bands but I don't know the order he was in them in. I think Absent Element was the last one.

Ohh Stock! I heard Daughtry on the radio last night and thought of you. Glad you had fun and so jealous that you got to hear them do "Possum Kingdom". I LOVE that song, but do you know the disturbing background about the true meaning of that song??

luscious, I don't really know the background but the song itself is sort of disturbing. It rocks hard though.

Okay, ladies, while I am not a regular contributor to this thread, can I come here to vent for a moment? I figure my girls can understand. Thanks.

In the last five weeks, I have lost the person on this planet that meant the most to me besides my fiancee. I know you're supposed to say you love your family the most, but I loved this kid from the moment she was born. Her mom was my theatre teacher and as she often says, I helped raise her. She died October 1st at 18. I have been a mess. Two weeks ago, my best friend lost the twins she was carrying. She was four months along. Last week, one of my dearest friends lost her grandmother unexpectedly. This friend, who barely knew the young friend I lost, and her wife drove 8 hours to my hometown to be with me through the memorial services. I feel horrible that I couldn't do the same for her.

Now, as if that wasn't enough... My mom lost her job today. Totally unexpectedly. She's an engineering assistant and has been for three years. She's been with the company for eight. She applied and was given this position with no experience, but they knew her and loved her. She has gotten nothing but praise until three months ago when her boss got a new boss. He's been very hard on her, telling her she needs to be doing more. She's tried to learn everything he said she should be doing. She's trying to teach herself from a book, as they didn't think taking a class was necessary and her boss had no time to teach her. The big new boss told her that she should be able to do her immediate boss's job. He's an ENGINEER. She is not. She's been out digging ditches and surveying property and staking the ground for poles to be put up, none of which was in her original job description. She's 53, 5'4" and teeny. She's the only woman in a building with around 40 men. So, the big boss came in this morning and started quizzing her about surveying the ground to place an electrical pole. She said she couldn't tell him, but she could show him if they could go to the field. He said never mind and left. He walked in at the end of the day and told her that she wasn't progressing enough for his liking and told her to clean out her desk. After eight years, her job is just gone. He took her phone. She'll lose her health insurance. It's ridiculous. And on a selfish note, I am saving to move to Sweden in May. Now I will probably have to help them out. Good times.

Is life going to get better?

/end vent. Thank you. I needed to type all that out.

JerseyGirl I wish I could give you the world's biggest hug. I'm glad you got the chance to vent but I can not believe the turns your life has taken recently.

Stay optimistic, it's really going to be healthier and make things easier on yourself and everyone around you. I know it might seem impossible but I've learned that you have to hold onto what little faith you have in order to go on. Stick with your friends and your family, you're all in a slump but better to go it together.

For you, JerseyGirl. I hope it brings you as much happiness as it has for me.



Sadly this is the only thing that's making me happy this week so far. I swear, Sara Ramirez is the only female who could turn me into a lesbian.

[killertofu333]

Posted: 11/4/09 at 12:20am

JG, I can't express to you how sorry I am about all of this being heaped upon you all within a month. When it rains it pours, huh? If I could I'd give you a big ol' gay hug but the only thing I can offer is words of encouragement and condolences. I'm really sorry about you losing your friend especially since she was so young and you'd known her since she was a baby. And the loss of your friends' grandmother and twins is horrible , I'm truly sorry.

And this situation with your mom sounds like absolute rubbish. The "new big boss" obviously went hog wild and got drunk with the little bit of power that he has. At the very least he could have arranged to have your mother take a class or two so that she'd be up to speed with whatever it was that he wanted done. If he had been at all interested and invested in progress he would have helped her in any way possible for efficiency's sake. You'd think that 8 solid years of hard work and service would hold some clout, but there are simply too many people who won't be pleased no matter what you do to better yourself. And you said that she was trying to teach herself from a book after he said that she should be able to do her bosses work? That's like asking a nurse to perform open heart surgery. There's a reason she can't do the surgery...because that's just not her job. I really hope you get through this rough patch soon. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it WILL get better.

*hugs*

Thanks so much, gals. I knew I vented in the right place. :)

Posted: 11/4/09 at 9:34am

Oh JG, I'm so sorry. The world likes to feed us s*** sandwiches every now and then, and I can't believe what a big helping you're getting right now. D: I also can't believe that frickin' douche-boss. This is the first time I have ever thought my boss seemed competent in comparison! Is there any recourse your mother could take? Is this a cause for unfair dismissal? Like tofu said, you wouldn't expect a nurse to be able to do open-heart surgery without hardcore training, so it really does sound like he's being a massive dick. Or does she just want to put it behind her and move on? I wouldn't blame her if she did! Either way, my thoughts and prayers with you all.

If you'll excuse me, whereabouts in Sweden? I know this is going to sound somewhat demented, but I'm quite into Swedish crime fiction at the moment, which has made me realise how little I know about Sweden, which is making me extra-super interested in Sweden generally. I know, I'm a bit wrong at times, but you said the S word, it set me off. XD

Well, initially, I am moving in with her in a tiny town near Axvall. If you look at the map, there are two big lakes in the middle of Southern Sweden. We'll be right between those. In the fall, we're hopefully moving to Gothenburg. :)
