Pretty sure that's the normal response to school. At least elementary through high school.
Meh , it really has more reasons to it . Still feels pretty weak to cry at school for me

Well, then you still need to find out their thoughts on what happened to you. Surely they can't be completely indifferent to it all.
Too bad. Something tells me he'd be pretty sympathic and understanding of it all.
Hopefully this is an improvement…..but even if he was the most amazing guy ever, she's still rushing into things. Maybe she's really desperate for companionship on that level.
Aww....just remember, amidst the interwebz and avatars, there's always a listening ear at Arlong Park!
I'll try and find a good moment to talk with him about all this. It can't really get worse, so why shouldn't I give it a shot.
Well, she always makes these decisions only to change them later. I hope this is the case here too.
:)
@DarkFalcon:
@ Nolus, MetaMario is right about your mom. She probably has her problems and she is trying to resolve or run away from them that way. She is probably lonely too. But she is making some mistakes. And rushing things with guys isn't the worst one. The worst one is leaving you out, when you, her adult or almost adult daughter, can be really huge support for her. She needs you as much as you need her, only she doesn't realize it. She needs to understand for her own good, because she is likely to suffer from this more than you in the long run, even if it's you, who feels lousy right now.
That can be. But still, she has a really good friend whom she can rely on any time. She even told her that the previous boyfriend was taking advantage of her.
Eh, we'll see. Luckily, she (her friend who's become somewhat of a guardian angel to me) will come over to Budapest for my ball so we'll be able to talk.
Just saw Rise Of The Guardians with my two best school friends. Man I love animated movies so much.

Great!

So she's a major flip-flopper, eh?

At least she had the semblance to bow out of the relationship, but maybe it impacted her in some way…..?
That's good!
Was almost sick again once I woke up from getting back to sleep but fortunately wasn't… though I'm so damn hungry and I feel iffy again... hopefully a nice warm bath will help...
And hoping that tomorrow I'll either be better, or throw up before 8am.
If I still feel iffy but am not sick I'll probably have to go to college and would most likely throw up there.
Gonna have me an early night as well...
I register for classes tomorrow! But tonight I'm staying at my boyfriend's house because I'm all excited and he makes me sleep on my nights off so I don't die of sleep deprivation.
We were driving around the other day and I was singing Fire by Bruce Springsteen at the top of my lungs which somehow led to him confessing he had never seen Firefly. So, tonight we're finishing it up with Serenity. Yeah, I should go hang the new exhibit at the art center, but I don't really feel up to it. I just got over strep throat. Fun, right?
Look, I'm not dead you guys!
Look, I'm not dead you guys!
Oh my god Gypsy arose from the grave

Strep throat sucks. Big time.
Here's to you getting the classes you want.
I'm so relieved. I have an F (shit!) in AP World History right now, but for whatever reason it came out as a D in the interim report. I don't know how my mom would've responded to an F, but explaining a D was manageable. Now I just need to stop slacking off in that particular class and turn in some overdue work and I'm fine and dandy.
In order to keep myself as entertained/busy as possible I started watching random shows.
I caught up with How I Met Your Mother and dived into Community. Next will be Dexter, Sherlock, Supernatural, and The Walking Dead. And I'll catch up with Big Bang Theory.
That should get me through the next few weeks, and hopefully that'll be enough.
But just to be safe - any other great shows I should definitely watch?

Damn this is like everything ive watched the past two years. Good choice. Maybe consider watching 'Once upon a time' or breaking bad.
Once Upon A Time, Revenge, and Grimm!

I'm not sure if I'll suggest anything since I don't find marathoning all those shows at once to be very healthy.
Graduating today! After four years of hell, I'll be finally getting my diploma. Feels great!
I feel a lot better about my identity as a "gender outlaw" and an activist after having a long political discussion with one of my close friends. I'm confident that things are going to change for the better, and I'm going to help make that happen one way or another. I can be whatever and whoever I want to be.
I wish there was a reputation system.
+1 rep.
The teachers in the staff room were talking about a convenience store robbery that happened last night, and I asked, "How did the robber hold up the store?" One teacher responded, "With a knife, of course. Only yaban [barbarian, savage] countries have guns."
Make no mistake. This guy knows I'm from America, and he knows that ours is a society that allows firearms. We've talked about it before.
I was going to let it go at first, like I always do, but at some point this shit just becomes intolerable, and I was really seeing red. So I decided to make a scene in front of everyone. I walked away for a minute to compose my thoughts while washing out my coffee mug. Then I walked back over, and, speaking from the middle of the aisle of desks, with a good 10 or so teachers watching and listening, I said to the idiot, sarcastically,
"So, where is this 'Yaban-Country'?"
"Oh, errr… well... that is to say..."
"I know what it means. Are you saying I'm a savage?"
"I'm… I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
I flicked my hand backwards in haughty-anime-character-walking-away-from-his-enemy style and sat down without another word.
The worst part, that I didn't even think of until later, is that not a single one of those other motherfuckers had the decency to chime in over what was in no uncertain terms a racial slur. They left me, with my limited language ability, to both figure out what he had said (it was almost too quick to catch, and I bet he had been counting on me not understanding, as the way he said was more as if to the audience around us, looking for a laugh, than to me) and take an appropriate response. No one even had the decency to talk to me about it afterwards, in private. You know, something as simple as "Hey what he said back there was wrong. Sorry you had to hear that." Just a bunch of spineless drones.
A few weeks ago, a particularly nasty parent of one of my fellow foreigner friend's students told him, in response to similar situations where he's called people out on their bullshit, "Do the manly thing and walk away from this town knowing that you haven't stirred up any trouble or changed anything." Like it's fucking Pleasantville and we're a couple of ne'er do wells. My friend managed to avoid exploding at the guy, but took his anger out by destroying some public property afterwards (guess we really are savages!).
I felt the same way today, but I'm satisfied with how I handled it.
I'm not leaving this place having been a doormat.
Mad respect, CCC. Well handled.
You can only put up with so much.
You know I've been in situations like that before, and it's always best to collect yourself before you enter them.
It makes the ensuing fallout all the sweeter. Hopefully he was embarrassed enough that he won't say that kind of thing before you again!

Mine would vary majorly.
Either be really shitty or feckin epicsauce.
Today I saw perhaps the most depressing movie of my life so far: Submarino. I'm all for tragedy, but holy shit that was bleak!
Oh yeah feeling somewhat better… not really nauseous any more... tummy still hurts though.
Reasons.
Yeah.
I.
I don't think I'll be saying why.
It isn't 'monthlies' though.
And I'm not pregnant before y'all be like 'ermahgerd Kate gtfo AP Forums'
I'm not even called Kate gdamnit XD

My friends were just talking about Once upon a time.
Thanks for the suggestions :D adds to list

Well, it's not really marathoning. I watch about 5 episodes a day, and not all of them are from the same show.
@Thousand:

Congratulations dude.
Also my class reunion is next week. But since I got dropped out (as in not by my own choice) I'm not sure whether I should go or not.

I know virtualy nothing about Japan but even I know this is such bullshit.
How many crimes are commited using a gun in Japan on average every year, does anyone know ? I'm sure there's a statistic for it somewhere.
@Tousand Lion-Chan: congratulations, good for you
@CCC: well done. Also it would be good if people get in their heads, that even when they regard some customs barbaric, that not necessarily means the whole culture or country, that practice those customs, is barbaric.
Am back from a great dinner with my family and am looking forward to another day of great celebration with my friends :D
I just got a free year subscription for Shonen Jump Alpha~ c:
Also, congrats TLC!
I really think that my life is written by screenwriters.
Once again, something happens that is so coincidental and interconnected with so many other characters and plot points…
Mad respect, CCC. Well handled.
Thank you. Not to toot my own horn, but I think if there's any good coming out of all of this, it's that I'm becoming a stronger person. A few years ago, I never would have stood up to an asshole like that, just for fear of stirring up trouble.
@No:

Although it's guaranteed to be less than the US, that doesn't change the fact that yakuza certainly use guns, in addition to essentially controlling the government through corruption and bribery. I didn't quite have the vocabulary ready to start that sort of argument though.
@CCC: well done. Also it would be good if people get in their heads, that even when they regard some customs barbaric, that not necessarily means the whole culture or country, that practice those customs, is barbaric.
For sure. I don't know how many of the other teachers present would agree with this shithead's assessment of America, but at the very least most of them have enough tact not to state such a thing so bluntly.
Well, I went ahead, jumped at the possibility, and talked a little (an hour or so) with that guy. I have only one question: why didn't I do it before? He was so darned understanding and I felt so relieved after telling him all that was making my heart ache lately. At first, I just wanted to tell him one thing, but then, it sorta came out.
Seriously, it was great. He even said things like "Don't become your own shadow, just let us give you strength" and " You can count on us".
I love him. I don't know what kind of love it is, but I don't care.

@ Nolus, good for you.
Today I received my graduation T-Shirt (5° class of "Librarianship" of 2012), I look forward to work in the area…
BTW, cool T-shirt, black, with related therms of the area (DDC,UDC Thesaurus, Z39,50, Ranganathan, Dspace, Dublin Core...) written in it.
Well, I just bought starfruints and played some LoL.
EDIT: Congratulations TLC, we both graduate this year...So hard work, for a piece of paper (sarcasm).
I was coughing up a bit of blood today. I hope there's nothing to worry about there. This past week I ended up applying to some universities that are out of the area. I need a change in scenery really bad. I feel like I'm suffocating where I live. Also pretty stoked that a video game song contest is coming up really soon, so I'll have that to help pass the time. As if the 30 hours of Pokemon in the past three days wasn't helping enough.

If you continue to cough up blood, I would get it checked out. Don't want to have TB (yes, it's still around) and leave it untreated.
So the bus driver drove by despite us holding our hands out.
Expect a more 'honest' response to that after college.
So the bus driver drove by despite us holding our hands out.
i know the feeling, it happened to me in nottingham last year.
i was totally standing at the correct stop, but he drove straight past.
there was a red light a few meters away so i chased after it and knocked on the side door.
the driver just raised his hand and motioned for me to go away. livid, i kicked the door as hard as i could before i walked back up the road.
other people at the bus stop (waiting for other ones) were giggling to themselves, but they shut up when i shot them cold glares.
and then while i was stood on the corner waiting for my dad to come and pick me up,
a chav-filled car sped by and one of them leaned out of the window and threw his coke over me.
the city certainly decided to be an asshole to me on that day.

idk how long for though lol
yeah.
will be active in college though lol
that was amazingly crappy
! me and girl from work were hitting it off for a solid hour or two about dorky shit, and then I must've said something to offend her because she completely avoided me for 3 hours and talked to another guy the whole time… the way she's been talking to me shows she wasn't just being friendly. problem is I have no idea what I could have said to get her to avoid me, everything I said was pretty safe 'cause we were in a work environment. i always have to get any romantic opportunities nipped in the bud, fuck. i'm busy as hell so i don't really need it i guess but she uplifted me... seemed like we had potential.
Guess what happens everytime I think it can't get worse? Yes, exactly.
I think I need a break from life. Oh wait, that's impossible. sighs
Oh lol btw I'm sure we had a None Piece thread… where in the name of dickens did it abscond off to (if it was ever there - dese forums be hella trippy)

Look i get why things are the way they are, and i feel the same way. Can we stay friends, even if you need space, don't be like me and just nuke it and anything else that hurts. Take your time and keep in touch.

I was kind of hoping we could have some huge rage drama, with one of the mods as host and the rest of the lurkers as the audience. Now all we need is some cheesy title and bam! the worst kind of fame will follow us.
Joking aside where do you want to chat?
I'm done with drama.
I was already thinking of compiling every single public argument you two have had and nominating it for the best/worst post of the year.
Not if I can delete them all before that :devil:
