I think that it's not fair to make fun of me for my fear of everything Dr.Suess. The Grinch and the cat in the hate and everything else he does is scary crap!! I couldn't even handle being in that suessland at universal. It's honest to God, a nightmare for me. People think it's weird and they're all "Well what are you gonna do about teaching your children to read?" Simple. Find other books. I never once learned from a Dr.Suess book. Me and my friend tiffany were in preschool when I used to live in CT, and we were talking on Dr.Suess Day (so all the teacher made a life-size portrait of the cat in the hat) and they told us to stop talking and we didn't so they took away our stuffed animals, and then when we still didn't stop talking, she told us the Cat in the Hat would wake up and eat us.

Horrible.

The life plan I cobbled together for myself back in high school is not working out, at all.

I can't get a job in my field. Which I only went into so I'd be assured a survival job I didn't hate. Now I am getting more acting work than work in my survival field, but not nearly enough acting work to live, or eat, or anything really (there are like probably 4 actors in the state of Minnesota that are able to make a living on acting alone...) and I don't really know what else to do. I am applying for jobs way outside of my degree field, I'm basically applying for anything I can find, because I am getting hungry (literally, hungry).

I chose my major because it offered job security. WHERE THE F**K IS MY JOB SECURITY!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

Here's what I'm going to let out-today I had a strange urge for hamburger helper. I never had it before, and I have no idea why I wanted it. I bought it. Made it. Not really good.

Jane2, it's an acquired taste (at least for a child). I used to love Hamburger Helper.

By the way, Dottie is going to be a call in guest on Nate Berkus' radio program on Monday just in case someone here listens to his show on satellite radio.

I am having the worst month i'vehad in a long time, which is ironic becuase I've had a great school year up until this point.

For three weeks I was sure I was dying of lung cancer because I was having chest pain so I was depressed and couldn't do anything which made me fall behind on my schoolwork. Way behind. I found out it was just acid reflux and now that's feeling better but now i'm failing half my classes and can't catch up becuase now not only am I going to school 40 hours a week, I'm working at Starbucks sweeping up straw wrappers every weekend. I am supposed to present my graduation project in two weeks and I am nowhere near ready. I've had a toothache for the past four days that is so bad that I've taken amazingly unhealthy doses of motrin but I am so afriad of dentists that I haven't told anyone about it. The guy that I like keeps sending me mixed signals so I don't know how to handle it but I can't manage to focus on that becuase i've got so many other issues to deal with. my parents are ready to strangle me and I have three weeks of school left to bring up my grades, which is a very very VERY uphill process. Oh, and I'm probably supposedto work after school today but I don't know what my schedule is becuase my boss hasn't emailed me back and my neurotic fear of the phone will not allow me to call and find out what i'm supposed to be doing. I don't know why all of this is happening to me at the same time and it really blows but I needed tolet it out to someone becuase things should be goig so well for me right now but it feels like I'm standing behind a towering stone wall that i just can't climb over. it's my own fault, I know, but it just really sucks. And I haven't really told anyone about everything so I'm glad that I got to let it out here.

I interviewed for my dream job on Wednesday, but the pay is so bad that I will have to get a part-time job just to support myself even if I am lucky enough to be offered it!



I really hate the sound of Luther Vandross singing!

Indiana makes it hard as crap to get a job as a teacher. So now that I am up to my eyeballs in debt thanks to student loans I am looking for a job not in my trained field because I can't get licensed up here until almost October at this rate. I am beyond frustrated. Plus I know no one up here, I have no job so I sit in my apartment doing nothing other than BWW and job searches. I am bored and lonely as hell. My husband comes home from work happy as can be because he has a wonderful job in his field and is making new friends at work and I am sitting here trying to be supportive, but I just want to scream. I need a job, I need friends and I need something to do to take my mind off of missing my old home, friends and family.

Who is that Do Re Milla person who posts that birthday thread on the main board every day and bumps the post throughout the day?

Her friggin' "bumps" and "bumpity bumps" throughout the day annoys me to know end.

I've been sitting on this for about 2 years and I really, really want to say it to my friend:

You need to get it the f**k together and realize that he's only going to keep walking all over you if you let him. I am sick of listening to you piss and moan about "why does he do this?" and "why does he hurt me so much?" and all that horses**t. And you know what? So is everyone else. You need to stop talking to him ASAP, I don't care how hard it is. If you want it to stop, you need to cut him out of your life.
Every time we all go somewhere, it's invariably ruined because he calls you to tell you he's hanging out with some other girl, and you lose it and we have to come to the rescue yet again. Well, you know what? Next time it happens, you can go cry by yourself. I'm going to try something different and try to have fun with everyone when we're out. You should try it.

iHeartmyGeek, you do know that ibuprofen products like Motrin make stomach acid problems worse...

AnnaK, considering you posted last night about your paralyzing fear of peanut butter and now claim to have the same problem with Dr. Seuss, I suggest you seek professional help. I'm not trying to be snarky, but if your phobias are affecting your daily life that much, you should really get that checked out.

Kel--Welcome to my life for 4 months now.

Rose--Preach, on Preachah! Are you actually going to tell your friend that, because she sounds like she needs to hear it.

spider: I would love to, but she's so f**king fragile emotionally that I doubt she would be able to handle it. Nonetheless, I'm sick of this guy and I'm sick of how she handles the situation, so I just might throw caution to the wind and lay it all out. We shall see...

Kel--I am not actually trying for a teacher job, but looking for ANY job that will take me that I can make more at than what I am getting in my unemployment check. So, for 5 months (I said, 4 before but it is actually 5) I have been sitting here and just surfing the net and watching movies, while I wait to hear back from resumes I have sent out. In the past 3 weeks, I have sent out over 20 resumes and still have heard from no one. It is depressing and an ego-killer, let me tell you!

Spidey, I feel you. I went on an interview on Monday where the principal basically told me that unless I went to their church (private christian school) or had volunteered there for years that I was out of luck. Basically I was told that they didn't hire outsiders. So I want to know why the heck he called me in in the first place.

I'm 45, been successfully working in the same field since I graduated college 24 years ago, have had a good salary, never been unemployed, have a nice house, wife, 2 kids, but almost every day I wonder...

... what if I had tried to become an actor? Would I be happy but poor? Or just poor?

Is it too late?

There's this person on this board and this person was one of (I thought) my bestest online friends in the whole entire world. This person and I were (I thought) incredibly close. I know people around here tend not to think of me as somebody willing to make himself vulnerable by sharing my hurts and pains and things like that, but this person really hurt me when this person cut me off and out of this person's life completely.

There was, apparently, some sort of crazy misunderstanding and this person sent me a PM that totally slammed me and then this person blocked my private messages so that I couldn't possibly respond to the baseless charges this person made against me. This hurt so bad because I really used to look up to this person, as most people on this board still do.

This person is so beloved on here and this person has no idea how much pain this person caused me by shutting me out like this. And this person also has simply the most incredible and impressive coterie of friends, totally diverse and inspirational, a real melting pot and rainbow of humanity. I'm not kidding, one of them's like a dwarf or whatever people like that prefer to be called nowadays. And they all have so many talents and are so much better than their present lots in life even reveal, these are people who are going to be somebody any day now and I don't think this person or those people have any idea how much so many of us are pulling for them so that their dreams come true because they are all so deserving and talented and good looking.

The world is their oyster and so many of us just wanted to be like them and be accepted by them. Sigh.

Namo, you still have a friend in me. And if he ever finishes, I'll have him give you a ring.
