    I guess this is the deep end...

    So...Tired. So much homework. I'm working on a group project in Farsi, but my group members are a fifty-plus year old woman who pitches tantrums when someone younger than her tries to tell her what to do, or help her, or when her questions aren't answered IMMEDIATELY and in short enough...

    I don't, and to be honest, I don't think she has a realistic idea of it. The doctor she had out in OK was a frigging nutcase. I don't know what cereal box he got his degree out of. He told her that quitting smoking would be too dangerous for her, at her age, and that her coughing was caused by...

    Part of the issue between me and Karma has been that I feel like he's judging my opinion as being of less value than his own because he thinks it's wrong. Naturally, I get defensive. We talked, and we think that part of it is probably partly because yeah, when he feels passionately that someone...

    Thanks. :) Samhain was happy until it wasn't. lol But that seems to be the way things are in my life, right now.

    So, in a quick change of topic, Karma has always asked that I tell him what's wrong, instead of going with habitual (and often untrue) "I'm fine." Problem is, he's got shit going on in his life, and I feel like he doesn't need me adding to it, so really, I only vent to him when I'm completely...

    At what point do familial obligations become too much? My grandma moved in with us recently, because she simply cannot take care of herself. She can't live alone. She'll die. (Sooner than she should, anyway.) She's in her mid sixties, extremely overweight, has had some kind of cancer that tore...

    Glad you're not mad at me. :( I was reluctant to call, cuz I wasn't sure how you were feeling, but I was kind of a mess. It's possible I haven't straight up told Karma "I need you here, now," before, so I think I kind of freaked him out, which might have accounted for him not filling you in...

    J and I have a wee bit of a "folie a deux" problem. When one of us goes through a depressive episode, we frequently take the other with us. I'm not sure which of us started the latest one, him or I, but it seems moot. I had a really long talk with him last night, and I hope I helped. We talked...

    Had an awesome weekend, up until the last half-hour or so. I mixed up henna the other night, cuz I was gonna tattoo my hands. I put it in a cupboard, out of the way, so none of my family would disturb it. Thinking it was chocolate, my grandmother dipped a finger in the paste and ate it. This is...

    Thank you, Mohegan and Mono! :D On that note, as soon as my Grandma found out Mohegan was coming tonight, she went "...Oh...That's...." I immediately got defensive and said "That's my friend. But don't worry, we'll sit out there, by the fire, and be unoffensive." I stalked off to shower...

    Religious survey

    Precisely. Christians and Churches don't inspire much faith or awe, for me, and there are some issues in the Bible that I don't know how to reconcile with my personal beliefs. (read: I'm all about women being able to choose their own fates. That's a little too heathenish for some folks, apparently.)

    I miss you guys so much. Really need cuddles and a good night's sleep. This 'up until four, waking up again at six or seven' business is not working for me. You shouldn't tease, btw. You know I'm a curious kitten, and Curiosity killed the cat. (Though in all fairness, I feel like Curiosity...

    I haven't been following your whole story, since I'm fairly new here. Just wanted to let all three of you know that I really, really hope everything works out. It takes a lot to admit you were wrong, and there's almost always wrongdoing on all sides in a fight. That was really brave. And yes -...

    Religious survey

    I was raised Christian, found Wicca, and I'm now branching into Vodoun. I have little issue with Christianity, but lots of problems with Christians.

    Hellish nightmares last night. Kept waking J up, which of course put him in a bad mood, so he started having nightmares too. It really sucks when the person who you try cuddle with to feel better starts having bad dreams too. Maybe I should give up on saving for ink, and just go buy stuff to...

    Which way to turn?

    Wishing I could be there to support you, though at the moment, I'm not sure being physically there would be the best course of action. -hugs- nonetheless I decided to handle this in a very particular way with my parents: I told them up front what was going on, and that I understood if they...

    So Mohegan and I have really surprised each other by getting along marvelously - and even getting to the point where our nights aren't complete without some chatting time. I'm really, really thrilled. I honestly felt like we were never going to get along, and it was never going to work - I...

    Aww. I miss you too! Glad things are going well out there (at least for the most part.) :) Things are still interesting here, as always.

    Thanks. :) I didn't get the job I was looking at, so I figured I might as well dye the hair blue like I'd been wanting to since the purple got old. Miss you both lots, Mohegan and Karma! But the sneakies are making me all curious! :p
