I’m about ready to just stop talking all together.
Every time I say something, I’m either wrong, or annoying, or some other negative. Fine then, I just won’t say anything, happy now?
I’m really starting to think that all the support I’m giving to other people won’t be returned when I finally get to do something. If I ever actually get to do it. Which I’m also starting to think won’t happen, because I’m always the last on the list for finite resources.
Who wants to bet I’ll be in the same spot for the rest of my life?
Having an MSN window open with someone doesn’t count as conversation. And saying Hey once in awhile doesn’t, either. I’d like a real conversation some time, that’s more than just Tumblr links and anime crap.
Thanks.
I feel like we’re two totally different people, and it’ll bite us in the ass sooner or later. You have this whole life without me, friends and school and stuff. I’m not part of it, and I really don’t feel like I ever could be. We’re different from how we were six years ago, very different. I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to work the way we did then. To be honest, I’m afraid that once we can be together again, you’ll see it too, and you’ll move on - assuming you haven’t by then anyway. You’ve got so much going for you, that I’m fairly certain I won’t be as appealing as I am now for much longer. Someone else will come along who’s easier, closer, more like you, and I’ll slide into the past again.
[Yet] Another Crisis, Of Sorts
I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for four years. When my second daughter was born, I quit my job and have been home ever since. So far it’s been difficult but doable. But there’s a very good chance that in the near future we’ll be moving somewhere where we’ll NEED a second income to get by. I’m fine with that, I really do want to work.
Problem? I don’t have any sort of education that helps me get anything better than minimum wage retail or food service, and I really want a career. I mean, it doesn’t need to be a fancy, 10-years-of-education career, but something I can do til I’m ready to retire and be happy with. I know I need to go back to school, but I have no idea what I want to do. Right now, I’m leaning towards doing a one-semester bartending program, which will give me at least a field to go after [and worst-case scenario, I’ll have to certification to serve alcohol in our new province, even just as a server.] And if I can work 3-4 shifts a week + tips, it’ll be enough to cover the extra expenses and pay off debt faster.
But beyond that? I have no idea. I started a History/Political Science degree, and while I generally enjoyed it, I don’t think it’s what I want to do any more. I’m think a two-year college program might be better, in an area I really enjoy - that way, I have whatever other job I have to pay the bills, and I can transition to my new one without feeling like my family will starve or be evicted if it takes awhile. But I could also go back to university for something different from what I originally did, though my options are limited since I don’t have the university math or science needed for a lot of them. I’ve been thinking about maybe a writing or English program, or maybe art of some kind. The college I’d attend has a Professional Writing diploma, and a one or two year pre-animation and illustration program I’d probably enjoy. Or maybe something like hairstyling or aesthetics.
At the same time, it almost feels pointless? I’m 26, I feel like I should already be done my education and have a career. I’m wondering if there’s even a point to spending the money on education, when I’ll likely be in my mid-30s by the time I’m done, and other people my age in whatever field I pick will be far ahead of me.
Augh, I really wish I wasn’t so indecisive and pessimistic, then maybe this whole thing would come easier.
Dear lady,
You’re an idiot. You paid for a premium membership to a site you didn’t need to pay to access, and it was shut down BY THE FBI. Now you’re bitching about not getting a refund? I think your priorities are a little out of whack.
Next time, maybe think a little harder before spending money to download illegally.
Signed, Me
P.S. I’m not against downloading for personal use, but paying for it does make it piracy, and is just stupid.
Dear Tumblr Users,
Stop signing every damn post with your name. The only time it makes any sense is if your post is actually in the form of a letter [i.e. Letters to People I Hate, like this one.] You look like an idiot putting ‘xoxo whoever’ at the end of every one.
Also, why the fuck do you sex Tumblr owners insist on adding stupid text to every post? You don’t sound smart or intellectual, you just sound like you’re trying way too damn hard and like you probably never actually get laid. Stop, seriously.
Signed, Me

Dear Sir,
You are an idiot. But you’re worse than normal idiots, because you actually think you’re smart. Of course, your adoring fangirls would scream murder at someone actually calling you out. But you might actually be smart if you did a bit of research before spouting off your uninformed opinions - and no, reading a two-line blurb on Tumblr doesn’t count as research.
I’d like to think you’ll wake up one day, but really, you probably won’t. You’ve been pampered and catered to, so you don’t see just how much privilege you have. Maybe if you actually had to suffer a little, you might realize just how ill-informed you really are.
Sincerely, Me
Why Is Wikipedia Down?
By now everyone knows Wikipedia is down today. Here’s our attempt to explain what’s going on and why you should care, in case someone asks you what’s going on (and why they should care).
