UPS and europe wishesthose damn bastards must be runnig late by the time they get to our house cuz for two days in a row now they've left a ''sorry we missed you'' stickie on our door when we were clearly at home. wtf, I understand once, but twice? but I guess it's not really a bad thing since the package is coins that are automaticaly sent from some coin collection company that my stepfather always orders from and my mom bitches at him for doing so. last time she didn't find out until she got the bill for 2000 dollars. oh he was in the shit house then and he was strictly forbidden from buying anything without her approval first. he thinks that its this huge investment, she'd rather invest the money in real investments.
thank god I'm back at my house where my mother's stingyness makes it comfortable to sleep. she turns down the heat to 60 degrees every night and I grown used to sleeping in a cool climate. last night I slept somewhere else and it was so fucking hot that I felt like I was going to explode. it stuffs me up and I can't breathe and it makes me feel all swolen and tired and not rested. I hate hate hate sleeping in a hot room, especially if its in the winter time with artificial heat.
the last wo days at work have been completely unproductive. both days I went for long lunches, came in late and left really early. work can wait. I have things that need to get done.
oh how I wish I could be back in london like I was last year at this time, remember peeps? I don't know where last year's london entry is but the pics are still up on shutterfly. the weather we're having now is the kind that london had both times I went, but sunnier. I will die if I don't get to move to europe. I mean it. I will shrivel up and wither soon. I feel such a pull there that I will absolutely do everything in my power to end up there one way or another. maybe I can do research there. sure I can. I just need to learn another language, ASAP! french or german. what are the official languages of the united nations?
I'm not getting any younger and the years are ticking away. I have four years until my daughter goes to college and then she better go somewhere but here because I am outie! she can come with and study there, but the plan is that I will leave as soon as she is out of high school. funny thing is, she wants to live abroad too. I guess all the traveling has put a bug in her ear too.
ok, my thumbs are hurting from typing on this phone. I must help with the cooking and getting the holiday stuff done.
czesc!
oh and one more thing, I upgraded my netflix membership on wednesday to the 8 movie option so that we'd have stuff to watch for the break. just till the end of the month. so now I have 6 movies at the house and 2 more on the way including the new pirates of the carribean and little miss sunshine.

I have never been to europe so consider your self much better off then me, maybe I'll get there someday, but I doubt it will happen. On a movie note the New Pirates movie is verry good.

sadI'm feeling so shitty lately. I want to run away, somewhere where no one will ever find me. not my friends, not my family. I feel stuck. like I will never get to live out what I wanted. its time to realize that my life will never be what I had hope it would be. and I have no one to blame but my self.
metalpeter - 12/16/06 10:45
First of all a lot of people feal sad or depressed around holiday time of the year, it is when statisticly there are the most suicides. I know I'm fealing that way a little bit myself so that maybe affecting how you are fealling. Not to mention that some people suffer from what is called winter depression. That is caused from lack of sunshine or intense sunshine and is often caused by going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark, that could factor into to a little bit.
But what is important to remember is that most peoples lives are not what they wanted or how they wanted them. A lot of people have family that they don't like. What is important is that there are two decisions that can be made 1 is to try and get the life you want (verry hard to do with out a little luck) Or try to be happy with the life you have and try to improve it (again not as easy as it sounds). There is nothing wrong with being one place in your life and trying or wanting to be somewhare else just try to think about it in a possitive light instead of being sad about it. I wish you luck with dealing with how you are fealing.

Yes, you're at the end and you have no time to make lemonade out of lemons! Just give up today!
COUGH COUGH COUGH SLAP SLAP SLAP
There. Learn from me, and from yourself at some point in time, and know that it's never too late for a new beginning. Not to sound all cliche but it's really true.
Hang in there Imk.

Can't hold yourself to some mental list you made years ago before adulthood got in the way. Trust me, I'm older and have been beating myself up that much longer. You must be doing something right, check out the comments that have come in a short time. : )

I also got a lecture last night about how I am too old to have kids and that it's my fault since "you made your choice so deal with it". That did not make me very happy.
point is I doubt life ever turns out the way we expect it to- but that's ok and we make the best of it- and hopefully it turns out even better. :)

Chocolate fountain? It looks like a pretty elaborate bong.
