Buzzkill of the Day
That does suck. Sorry to hear that Chris. Did you confront them about it?
No, because I honestly don't think they meant anything by it. And one of the girls is the one dealing with the abortion and I get the feeling she just wants some alone time to talk to a girl and stuff. She doesn't like talking about that stuff in front of a guy, which I understand, while my other friend doesn't give a fuck what she says in front of guys, lol. It's not a big deal, it just took me off guard.
Melody, I do have other friends. In fact, I spent the evening with someone else. But thanks for the helpful suggestion.
Did you recently make these friends in France or did you import them somehow?
The spam and my stinky gas are buzzkills today.
Another nose bleed for no reason. It's been a few months. I have not missed this.
I fell asleep at 8:30 and now I'm awake. (It's 12:40am my time).

I used to get nosebleeds a lot. They prescribed a saline spray that I should use everyday before bed. It really helped. I haven't had nosebleeds in a while.
I slept 10 and a half hours.
Isn't that a good thing? Or did you miss some classes?
My pony came. Grr.
No, it's a good thing. I don't have classes on Fridays, and probably won't next semester either. I was just very tired, I guess.
My pony left yesterday.
I was about to ask what the hell Hattie was talking about, but I think I get it after Irina's comment. I haven't seen my pony in a while, not sure how long, I don't really keep track. It's okay though, no reason to worry, that's for sure.

It's been a really bad day in my head. I feel like I am about to crash again. But I realize its the same shit as every other day. But it feels like its getting more crowded in my brain. I could babble and bitch about it for awhile but I won't.

I'm spent most days after work, and this week has been especially hectic. I haven't been as cuddly and loving towards Pål Martin as I would have liked to be, so that is my buzzkill.
No imports, they're grown locally. Or as locally as one can be without being from Paris. 
I wonder if having sex regularly regulates the, um, pony's coming and going.
It seems a lot of women who say theirs isn't regular also complain or mention that they aren't getting any very often. Whereas the women I know who have been in relationships for years seem to run like clockwork.
I could see how being in close living proximity with a male one was sexing could cause chemical brain reactions, the same way women sync up when living together. I mean the body wants to get pregnant, no matter what a person actually wants, so being regular when living with a guy would give the body a better chance... or something?
This isn't a buzzkill. Just my feverish thoughts this morning.
My buzzkill is the concert I've been looking forward to for a month is tonight and I am sick as ever and don't see how on earth I am going to enjoy it.
I've never been regular, not ever. It's been better since the birth control implant, but occasionally I don't have one at all.

Taking the pill regulates it.
I wonder what sort of studies have been done on this sort of thing. I'm sure there have been studies done.
Because I do know quite a few women who aren't on birth-control pills, as their husbands have had vasectomy's or they have had a tubal ligation, and they have pretty much a clockwork 28 day cycle.
It regulates it somewhat, it's still never been exact for me. And he's, there have been studies done. It's the reason I started taking the pill in high school. Usually I know when it's coming give or take a week, but it used to be totally random.

My period was late only twice, a few days the first time, and a week the second. It has come round every 28 days since I first had it.
Only thing the pill did for me was make it last 3-4 days. It used to be a week before, with two dry days halfway through.
I meant studies on whether living with a male sexual partner has any affect on the cycle, not studies on the effect of the pill on the cycle.
Mine was weird and irregular until I stopped having children, ever since it has leveled out.
How 'bout those Mets?
This is why we can't have nice things.
Slightly off subject, but not totally:
In Malcolm Gladwell's What the Dog Saw, there is a section on why breast cancer is on the rise. His theory (or the people he talked to for that article) is that women are no longer "baby factories" like they used to be - having another baby as soon as their bodies were ready. In less developed civilizations and tribes, the women don't get breast cancer. So he is a strong supporter of those pills that make you have your period 4 times a year instead of 12.
I am shit and ran out of contraceptive pills and forgot, all week, to book a doctor's appointment. Ugh. Now I'm back in university next week so getting a convenient appointment is going to be really difficult. Fuck. Too much drama this week. Too much essay.
it's been raining pretty much all afternoon in new york, and on the way home i got totally soaked from a giant suv driving past the curb and splashing up a wall of water. shitty rainy water sitting in the shitty new york gutters. i feel so dirty.
I used to get nosebleeds a lot. They prescribed a saline spray that I should use everyday before bed. It really helped. I haven't had nosebleeds in a while.
I have some of that. I'll use the saline spray every day, and see what happens. Thank you Jaz
BuzzKill, I didn't get the art job.
Sorry to hear that, Sema.
Keep trying, you seem to have lots of great ideas. It took my boyfriend ages to get a job teaching art. It's just very competitive and schools can be very political about these things.
Money is very hard to hold onto in an expensive city if you hope to have even the slightest bit of a social life.
Thank you so much, Hattie. You are so right. Congratulations to your boyfriend, he must be a very determined guy. So you picked a winner.
Art is the craziest racket. Can't believe I dropped my film major for it. I'm a damned fool.
So my boss flipped his lid today. I had flashbacks of my dad and it was pretty scary. I might have to quit my job if this escalates.
This is why my social life is pretty low-key.
I prefer meeting up with people at their place or mine anyway. Some drinks, some snacks, talk, sounds like a good time to me!

Yeah, that's a good idea. I had almost no social life for a long time, so now I'm trying to enjoy it. But having people over or doing non-expensive things may be the solution.
My godfather died yesterday. He was like a father to me.

Hugs Melody.
This is why we can't have nice things.
So sorry. 
Melody, I'm so sorry, hope you and everyone else are okay xx
Sheldon has a bad eye, I think it's conjunctivitis. To the vet! Poor thing, it looks really sore. He wasn't keen on me wiping it with a soaked cotton pad thing so dreading the potential eyedrops.
Scribblingdes, sorry that happened. He sounds like a great dad.
Sorry for your loss, Melody.
I'm so sorry to hear your loss Melody.
I remember you speaking of him before, and when you first told us he wasn't well. I am sure he was a good man and I am glad you had him in your life.
I'm sorry Melody.
This is so petty but my mom said she wasn't going to go to her boyfriend's this weekend and she left like two hours ago without even saying bye or telling me where she went. I know she's there because she asked the person on the other end what they want for dinner.
I don't get how you can leave somewhere, anywhere, without saying bye. Especially to your kid. Whatever.
Thanks, guys.
It's going to be a rough week.

It's not petty. I've been there before. Broke a window because my mom took off one day with no way for me to get a hold of her if I needed her. I wish I had advice on the matter but I really don't. Other than speak up about it or get used to it because it's going to happen more often.
That's awful, Jaz. And you shouldn't have to put up with it. Do you get on ok with him? I don't really know your history, but could you say to him that you had a bad experience with your father's anger problems as a child and that when your boss gets angry it makes you really anxious and not want to work there?
Melody, I'm really sorry for your loss. *hugs*
Roseate, I hope your Mum comes to her senses soon. She's being a silly woman.
Hugs all around.
Oh man

I'm very sorry for your loss, Melody.
Hugs to you Jazmyn too - has your boss ever done that before? What were your coworkers' reactions?

^Definitely.
My buzzkill is that I have too many social commitments this week - lunches and dinners. Luckily I have tomorrow night free, but my boyfriend is insisting we go jogging then
...which to be honest, would do me good. I just love sitting on the sofa and watching crap mid-week.
buzzkill- When you try to talk about a situation that is awful, with friends or family. And they say, "look on the bright side", as a quick go to answer and excuse themselves really quickly.
I presume, that is why this thread was built. Just to state the facts, and go from there. Thank you subby socks!

This is a rather high quality problem.
Also saw Xia yesterday. It was all good, well not good but not bad. Hung out with her and my buddy Tyler. But the she started making stupid rude jokes about Cassie, her being a hippie. And just shit like that. It then came up that I slept with this girl Heavenli(the one who Xia said I cheated on her with because I told her she was cute or something) So it seems all good untill she calls me and tells me I should me ashamed and embarrassed for myself. blah blah blah.
I also cant walk because my neck is fucked.
