    @Derek: Yeah I'm sure she ignored them. Since you got a hold of her now I would let her know you need your money back if you can, and then cease contact with her.

    There isn't anything wrong being nice and kind. It is only the fact that you're very very very nice and kind, and to a point where if people can take advantage of that is not good. Holiday is right. Be a little more cautious, have a bit thicker shell and a tad tighter wallet. Being an asshole or a jerk is very contingent, and doesn't seem to fit you. As I said, there is nothing being friendly. Just make sure you aren't selling your integrity or yourself to be walked on.

    I'm not saying you should stop letting everyone in, Rather, I'd say you should be more cautious, or more selective on who gets in, if you get what i mean. As for the 65 bucks? I say give it up and say lesson/experience learned. It'll be more of a headache to get the money back, and it wont be worth it.

    While nobdy ever likes bullshit that happened, We've all got to have our fair share of shittiness before we find a plate of awesome. Don't give up hope man. :)

    @Luke: Yes. Get Help. Find a trustworthy Friend/someone to talk to. And just a question.. Does "knowing" help cheer you up or just help?

    @Anya: :hug: I know how tough it can be, Don't lose hope :)

    @Casey: She fucked some random guy in a one night stand. It's not your responsibility, it's not even your own damn baby. You say you love her and feel like you need to take the kid as your own.. And the clock is ticking, however, It's not wise to do so. It might be the most loving-god darned thing any man can do for a lady, but that's up to you. Might be to soon. you got out, so your okay. Whether or not you want to accept the kid is..well, whoa. Up to you.

    What is not up to you, is this. Stuck in a job that's getting no-where, just falling off the intense drug use bandwagon. What have you been doing using drugs so much? Why haven't you asked to be bumped up into a higher position earlier? Since that's then, and we need to talk about now, What you got is a good start. :) You'll for sure need to quit the drugs and start moving up or working to make more. This is especially true if you would want to take care of the kid your ex-girlfriend has. As for rehab and Christ? :lol: Damn, you'll probably need both.

    Love man :lol: So complicated eh? With what you do with yourself, you'll know what to do with her more.

    @Jesse: I'm sorry to hear. It does sound like a bit much. Did you decline her request? If not, you should've. That's absolutely not cool of her to do. :lol: So confusing of her.

    Agreed. I'll wait and see if she pays it...but ultimately it might be better to accept my losses and move on if she doesn't make any attempt to talk to me after this morning.

    Right, so I have this FUCKING ANNOYING cousin. Where do I begin. He thinks he shits rainbows. Well not literally, but he's is so self absorbed that it may even be a possibilty. he cracks lame joke which are rude, not funny. He lived in Aberdeen for a while, which he thinks is heaven on earth (seriously?!) and now he's come back, mocking the way his mother and my mother speak english. In his pathetic attempts to sound high collared his accent comes off as Italian rather than Cockney. He is currently engaged to my dim witted cousin who is 'in love' with him despite not knowing that he's an annoying douche bag. Those who don't get hitched early are basically worth his contempt. As for me? Haha apparently I am to 'modern/western' for his likes.
    As you can see, I can go on and on about this guy.

    Why do I care?



    He lives in my house. That freeloading piece of scum lives in our house as if he owns it. He doesn't contribute in any aspect, and says to my mom 'the bills will be crazy this month because of the A/C usage' well, if you care SO much then kindly pay. Or sweat your ass off by not switching your own airconditioning.
    And it's not like he is unemployed. By some miracle he has landed a darn good job, but he wishes to contribute in no way and scorns at ME for using the airconditioning.
    He comes back home from work and sleeps on the couch because he wants to show us how tired he is. Fucking well please use the room we have given you. Actually you have TWO rooms at your disposal.
    My dad hates him as well but we can't do anything since my mom will keep him in the house as he's her sister's son.


    UGH.

    Tell your mom that nothing (even being related to him) is worth the abuse he dishes out. He doesn't pay for anything, and seeing as your dad has as much say as your mom...your dad should tell him that he better start pulling his weight around there and show some respect, or he's out. Seriously..tell your mom to stop worrying about pleasing her sister and to worry about herself. Her sister can HAVE your cousin live with her if she cares about him that much. Your mom doesn't need to kiss her butt and deal with the BS listed above.

    Not only is he being a lazy, he already has everything he needs to move out. Have you and your mom talk to your mother's sister about how abusive and lazy her son (your cousin) is being. Tell her the conditions and don't exaggerate.

    One your Aunt finally believes you, then you can work on getting him out of there. He's fully capable of being on his own as a post-grad and having a job.

    :)

    It's not that simple. *Sigh*. He's not really abusive, he just has a really bad sense of humour.

    Fuck me, my birthday won't feel complete without Mum being there. Not looking forward to the day after, Mum's in hospital and I can't go down because I don't want Mia to be around sick people. On top of feeling slowly depressed, cos I'm stuck at home, can't go out with friends cos they are all fucking sick to the bone. I swear I'm going to go insane if I don't leave the house soon (and this time for the reason of not getting the mail).

    So what does that matter then? :p He's your Ex, and he can say whatever he likes. You just gotta toughen up and let it pass. You're not pathetic, rather if i recall from pg.16, that he is pathetic.

    Cheer up you. :)

    Thanks guys. I wish I didn't care what he thinks. But unfortunately I do. Ugh. But now I'm just feeling like...why does he have to go and make me feel bad about myself when I'm trying to make myself happy? Hasn't he done enough already?
