For what it's worth, it's actually fairly easy for that not knowing anything to kinda' fade into the background rather than be particularly hurtful. I more or less haven't seen my father or pretty much any of his side of the family for something around a decade, ferex, and it stopped being more than an "eh" a long time ago. They live <20 minutes away, heh. Y'can get used to a lot of things, yeah, and it turns out if you're not particularly invested in someone's life for long enough its importance to you kinda'... fades, y'know?

Veckles is not a chubby puppy, Veckles' family are a bunch of crazy people. *hug*

Not that it would be in any way a bad thing if you were a chubby puppy, but 25 inches?? Daaamn....I was skin-and-bones at a 30-inch waist. What are you, 3'1"?

This, this, this.

And here's Bauglir happy to be losing weight at 45 inches! Your family's mad, surprising no one.

[SalmonGod]

Good grief.  If they were anyone other than family, who I'm sure you know well enough to read, I would insist that you must be misinterpreting sarcasm.  That's just bizarrely cruel.

Need to get up in some six hours for a trip back to uni. Still haven't packed my stuff. I'm also running low on sleep because of yesterday. And I have classes and a presentation tommorrow.

Hello coffee my old friend, I've come to chug you once again.

As long as we're talking about not breaking ties with family, I figured I'd post about something again since I tried to say this a long time ago and ended up deleting it.

To be honest it really pisses me off whenever someone tells me that I should sever ties with my entire family ASAP simply because my brother and mother are huge dickheads for a multitude of reasons. For one thing, there's approximately a 99% chance that won't be possible because I'm not going to instantly become financially capable, and because my mother is now insisting that I stay in Maine for college and continue living with her for some stupid reason. My half brother seems to intensely dislike my father and has a really complicated relationship with him due to the fact that his mother, now my father's ex-wife apparently used to lie and talk about how he would hit her and how much he hated his family or something like that. So now he has an adult son who never talks to him, and who he believes hates him. I'm fairly sure he doesn't need another. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be a selfish dickhead in that way. While my stepbrother stopped talking to him because he was manipulated into doing it, I would be making a conscious decision to do the same thing. I know I'm not the best guy in the world, but I'd like to think I'm a little bit better than that.

Aside from that, I still have things to do with my family which I have to take care of, like the camp which my parents apparently plan to pass on to me and my brother, among other responsibilities. Completely abandoning everything to do with that just because my mother is an idiot and my brother is an emotionally abusive piece of shit is not a good solution at all. I'm not going to be a selfish bastard in that way.

I don't want to try to fix this kind of thing anymore, so I'm probably hardly ever going to talk about it on here anymore, but I just wanted to make sure people know that. That's it, I guess.

Arrgh. Only here for a few more days, so this bitch decides to seriously step up her hassling of me.
I should really have seen this coming, I'm pretty sure the same thing happened last time I visited... stupid.

It's getting worse. Somehow.
Two more days and I'm out of here... hopefully I can cling to my sanity until then. Otherwise all this "wasted potential" I am being repeatedly (and at great length) told I have will manifest in a deadly explosion of sheer rage, probably large enough to wipe this whole shitty little town right off the map (not that anyone would likely notice).

Stay strong in your mediocrity.  (Though, uh, don't hesitate to improve yourself if you want.)

Be you, in other words.

Gums are swollen. A-fking-gain. Sadly, that's not even whats hurting me.

My tongue hurts. There's this blob thingy under it and it hurts. Also thought I tasted blood earlier...

That sounds dangerously medical.
Might want to have someone take a look at that.

[Yoink]

Of course, I do plan on doing something with my life, but as soon as someone sits me down and starts lecturing me about it I just begin to despise everything and anything they suggest. They even hit on one or two things I might have actually liked to do...

Also 'Ted Talks'?! What is this bullshit and why does it exist? Who gave these old people a tablet computer so they can torment me with such things?
Never again will I visit anyone (especially family) whose home requires more than a walk to a nearby train/bus station to escape from, and I certainly won't burden myself with heaps of luggage to really trap myself. Stupid, stupid self.

[TheBiggerFish]

TED talks are pretty neat though...
 

But yeah, I have that problem where I'm recklessly contrarian sometimes myself...

Ugggh yeah I've had those same thoughts.  It's always so much worse when I feel trapped.  And even well-meaning or useful advice can feel so belittling.
Good luck, stay strong...  And I hope you get out of there soon.

Well, I guess I'm missing volunteer work tomorrow because I went to a cousin-once-removed's wedding for Easter, but wasn't invited to the wedding so I stayed at home and burnt pizza because I couldn't find oven mitts. And had a 7 year old try to make out with me. It was not a very enjoyable weekend.

And the place I'm volunteering at is creating more stuff for me to do faster than I can work on it because I keep getting delayed by stupid things like collapsing for days or having a holiday.

So now I'm stuck sitting in a hotel room watching my heart beat when I want to get back to work! I already work 4x as fast as the last people to help out there, so it's not like I can push myself much faster...
_{... The work I'm doing barely even matters, and no one cares how fast I do it but me.}
