Rants: Everyday Venting

[Trixsie Vixen]

So I've been absent for several weeks now.  Thanks to everyone who was concerned for me and I will try to catch up with my PMs.


Sadly I have been plagued with dental problems (all sorted now except the $1400 bill) a rather nasty respiratory infection and another shoulder injury (left shoulder this time) which has me in constant pain with numbness and pins and needles which has made my mood pretty poor.


I have had a bunch of x-rays and tests and physio and acupuncture etc and at least it seems to be soft tissue damage rather than nerve damage so yay I guess.  I've had one round of steroid injections which helped and am counting down the 6 days until I can get more.


Anyway, that's the short version.  I feel bad to have just abandoned everyone, but I just didn't want to get online when I was so miserable.


I thought about the gang here every day, so never fear, you were with me in spirit.

That's very nice to hear Trixsie. I'm glad things are getting better for you.

I nearly got boxed 'round the ears by Dad because I told him I want to prioritise getting my assignments finished and sent off over doing housework.

Housework which, frankly, he always gets other people to do. He's such a control freak. The moment someone says "no" or the moment he loses control of a situation out comes the foul language and threats.

If it wasn't for my brother who stepped in to defend me I'd be feeling pretty sore right now.

You could almost call that domestic abuse I think.

If he were to be hit, than it becomes criminal.


Grey. I know about having a bad dad. While he doesn't touch us, there is a more urgent problem which we can't fix. If you haven't already, you should start planning how to escape when you hit 18.

I agree with Rocco. Get out of there as soon as you can.

Minor rant, but wearing black a lot sucks when you own a cat. You gotta use a pet hair roller constantly to get that stuff off. Sometimes I need to use two sheets of the paper to get most of it off, and not long afterward hair gets plastered all over it again. At least I've been branching out to more colors lately. But black is still comfy...

[Cecilia Peromi]

I thought you were going to say wearing black sucks in the summer (which it does very much)

When I wear nice clothes I stay away from my kitties (all 5 of them)

I got back a few minutes ago from a short run in 100+ heat index wearing a black shirt. Let's just say I don't suggest doing it, especially when you aren't acclimated to such heat, it's sunny, and you haven't run in about a week. Stomach still isn't too happy...

[The Past]

Oh yeah, it does suck in the summer, but I've worn black for so long, I'm used to it. I don't run, though.

Now I most often wear earth tones, like dull greens and reds, browns, tans, and greys. But I still love wearing black. It's slimming and not too eye-catching.

Back when I was in middle school, people thought I was an emo kid because I wore black shirts and jackets all the time. Though I did try a subtle goth-ish style when I could. By high school, everyone wore black, so thankfully I didn't stick out anymore.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Black is nice, I like it. Especially when it's paired with white. I love minimalist designs.

[Rocco Rex]

Oh I love black. My favorite clothing? Combat boots and BDU pants (that's normal for me. I wear then everyday except jeans in church) and a dark, preferably black shirt. I just wore a black shirt today to make the run more miserable.
Probably better go back to original purpose of this thread.


Speaking of heat, it is soooo hot here. I HATE summer.

[The Past]

There are two/four things I hate about summer: the heat and humidity, and bees and wasps.

What sucks is that we have huge bushes along the path to the front door that you inevitably touch while walking through, and sometimes bees and wasps hang around in them. I usually hop off the side of the porch instead during the summer to avoid that.

Bleh, I have a similar dad. He makes me do everything. Even something so lazy as go and get something from up/downstairs that he forgot and didn't want to take the 30 seconds to do it himself. When I point it out he usually says something like "I drive you places so you should do this". Well, I don't have a license. You however have working legs. He never asks my sister to do anything to boot. He says it's because she's too lazy and unreliable, like that's a bad thing but it just means she's more privileged that she doesn't have to lift a single finger. But when I want to be lazy and just not do something I get yelled at. He blames mt mom for 'enabling' her laziness when he's the one who's doing so.

And he'll just start doing housework and expect other people to drop everything and help him. Just today I had to spend two hours moving and lifting junk around the garage (he's also a pack rat, too) when I was busy doing other stuff.

Bleh, rant over.

[Wolxikin]

Sometimes I wish I wasn't friends with such a hypocritical asshole who feels no remorse for anything

[kalan]
