    Everyday going to work there's a bridge I drive on over a river. It's not particularly deep, or fast, but, if my car or just me, somehow ended up in there, I don't think I'd really make an attempt to get out.

    Grr, local news is getting irritating today.

    All morning they've literally been reporting a he-said/she-said story.

    "Another news outlet is SAYING that Bill Clinton's foundation donated money to his friend's for-profit charity (which is somehow translating to Hillary being under scrutiny???) But the former president has SAID that this is not accurate." They even show Bill saying "We've posted an explanation on the website." They don't share this explanation, just that he said there was one.

    SO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU REPORTING ON? YOU'VE HAD SEVEN HOURS NOW TO LOOK UP SOMETHING THAT'S PROBABLY PUBLIC RECORD.

    And really, if the worst thing he's capable of is donating to a less-than-devoted charity, then he's okay in my books.


    Then they have a story about Trump pretending to be his own publicist on the phone like 20 years ago and bragging about himself. WHO CARES. NOBODY. I am in no way endorsing ANYTHING that man has done, but that? That's humorous AT WORST. WTAF news? You're usually SO much better than this!

    So our first real fight just happened and it sucks. I fucking hate arguments because I always seem to get upset about things that don't have a clear resolution, or at least not an immediate one. So then I'm forced to feel like shit for some unknown period of time. That's made even worse by this being a LDR. Even if I wanted to just hug it out, I can't. I had been upset about this thing for a while but was trying to ignore it and remind myself of certain things that should counteract my being bothered by it. But I brought it up today and I wish I hadn't. It's just something that is important to me and it's hard not to take personally. Her not having a real answer and only being able to speculate as to the reason why this thing happened is what makes this really hard to just forget and move on from. The answer she gave makes enough sense, but at the same time doesn't. I also don't think she really understands why it is that it upsets me so much. I feel stupid and immature for being upset about it, but at the same time, I attach deeper meaning to this sort of thing than I guess most other people do. So it hurts. It makes me feel less special. I know it's not fair to her to be mad about something that happened in the past, but I can't help it. I wish I didn't care. I really really wish I didn't care. I know I'm being vague, but it's on purpose. I'm not one to really spread this sort of personal business around. I'm just venting I guess.

    So here's the thing, you know your feelings on this are personal and maybe not entirely rational. So what it gives you is the ability to step aside and differentiate your actions from your feelings. You can feel hurt or bad and still have a healthy relationship and still stay on a productive healthy path. The first step is to acknowledge your feelings. They are real, they are yours. The next step is decide if you want them to define your actions going forward, or if you want to choose an action based on other criteria, like the health of the relationship. You don't have to stop acknowledging your feelings, just decide what role these feelings are going to play. Couples can differ and disagree and even Hurt each other without it costing them the relationship as long as they find their middle ground and let their actions come from a good place.

    It's honestly not that serious. After a day or two, I'll probably be fine. I just have this problem where I need to understand things and it's frustrating when I can't get a clear answer. So all I'm left with is the conclusions I come up with on my own, and generally speaking, my brain hates me. It always makes me think the things that will make me feel the worst, even if I know or believe differently. All that said, I'm not seriously thinking about ending the relationship over it. I feel like what we have is too good to let something like this tear it down. I just wish I could understand where her head was at the time or what is about me that's different or...I don't know. Like I said, it seems to be a question with no answer, and as much as that eats away at me, I have to let it go if I want to continue on this path with her and I definitely do. Eventually, I will stop caring about it. I wish there was a different way to deal with it, but it seems there isn't. Thanks for your help.

    I woke up from a nap just furious at the world for no reason. Now I'm mad about the fact that I'm mad, because I was in a great mood when I lied down.

    Horse, hammer, what's the difference, it pounds something, and too hard will break things.

    I know this isn't really anywhere near as bad as everyone else, and I don't have much to complain about lately....but 30 minutes of work in a game that has a LOT of thought and planning and adapting as it's core gameplay requirements, with procedurally generated elements in a survival setting....well, even that's pretty frustrating to loose to a random hang. I save every hour, apparently that's not often enough.

    Possibly more bad mood worthy, or "empty mood" in particular is my motivation for practicing drawing went down to none again. Fuck.

    Ha. Nice.

    The difference is my mom would be upset if I started putting up a picture with a horsecock.

    Okay, I am getting REALLY tired of sleep-me. It's like when I first wake up, I'm a totally different person incapable of making good decisions. This morning I woke up for work multiple times, each time thinking "Eh, I'll just lie down in bed for another ten mi-ZZZZZZZZ" This kept happening until my "leave for work" alarm went off, and real me managed to break through. Right now I'm smelly, unshaven, unfed, and with no coffee in my system. What the hell is wrong with me?

    Just moved recently, for the wrong reasons. I knew we wouldn't be able to afford it, but my wife just kept insisting. It was too soon and with very little preparation time.

    I was right. We have to move again. This time with even less time to prepare. Because there is so little time, we have to do it in the next few days, and we are moving in with her family. It will be a temporary arrangement while we save up money. We actually will be able to save money. For once.

    Have I ever mentioned how much I hate moving?

    I also have been suffering from a lot of pain. My back has been giving me trouble for about 3 months. And then about a month ago I twisted my knee. Walking, kneeling, doing anything that bends or puts weight on my knee, is agony. I limp around everywhere. Despite the pain, I still do my job. Which has me on my feet constantly. Lots of bending.

    I'm so stressed out right now. I should be relieved to some degree, but I'm not. My wife is, so good for her. Uhg.

    Well, I've been a bit shat on recently. My boyfriend, who is now my ex, is claiming that I am a lair and a cheater through a several year old story. He's now acting like he's five years old and is vague posting about me on Tumblr and posting himself on Facebook 'drinking his sorrows' and how I'm the bad person in this situation.

    I know he wants me to react and fall into his bait but my plan is just to hang out with old friends and meet up with them for now since I can't deal with the shite that's going on with Facebook right now or any social media and if he's not mature enough to come and talk to me about it properly without being two faced about it, then that's what I shall do. I'm in a shit place right now but if I believe if I buckle down and see the faces I want to see then I will get through this. It's just a matter of time.

    "Then I'm gonna take that pity party bait on your social media, and push it in your face!"

    Sometimes you just gotta let pathetic assholes shove their heads up their ass under their own steam. Helping them ram it in at full speed may be hilarious at first, but you wind up with shit covering your hands

    There are good analogies out there, and then there are analogies that are so brilliant I'm having trouble making an analogy for how good they are. That was god-tier right there. Bravo.

    .-. Are you sure? It was pretty crude, because I felt like being crude.

    Yep, that's so true. I'm just not reacting to it right now, I am just letting him blow steam off before he trips up and fucks it up for himself. Ta for that, I had quite a laugh before I wrote this response since it has made my day already :)
