Tomorrow I leave for this :
The Mutter Museum of Medical Oddities
and to perhaps try out an authentic Philly cheese steak
I'm so excited! It's been 2 years since I've went on any sort of vacation (I mean this is only 3 days but what the hell) and I really can't wait to get away. And of course I'm bringing my laptop so I...

I hope you have fun in Philly hun. I'm sure it'll be nice to get away from work and school. Everyday life can just get to the point that it consumes us. Anyways.. have a great time, and relax a little for me too, lol.. since I'll be here working on schoolwork and such.

Don't take me wrong on the photo thing. I agree that the monkey is funny, it is just than looking at your picture help me belive that we're having a conversation in real time.
Remember your fantasy: To form a utopia of people who could carry on intelligent conversations.
I guess this is as close as you may get to get what you wish for.

... I don't feel like I can take time out from anything. I so wish that I could. I would never not want to talk to you, I'm so sorry that you felt that way. I wish I could go to Philly with you this weekend. I'll be in Niagara Falls with Crissy at a hockey tournament though, and I don't have spring break until the 23rd of March.. so all the professors are loading me down with crazy amounts of work. I just feel like I'm gonna explode. That's not an option though.. I just gotta keep truckin.. hoping it will all get better soon.

.. i am questioning my relationship with her but that's not entirely what's making me unhappy. I am sure that it is adding to my misery and the overwhelmed feeling that I have.. but I wouldn't blame all of it on my relationship. I love her too much to let things fall apart completely right now. It just takes alot of energy to hold it all together.
How much more depressing can an afternoon be: "Dubliners" by James Joyce, and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson. Not to mention the gloom and cold outside my window. I need sunshine soon.

at least you aren't listening to Elliott Smith, or Nick Drake. that would make the day even more depressing.
February is almost over.....and spring is almost here.

You got sunshine today but, at what price!!!!
It was 6F this morning. Painfully cold.

I'm really beginning to think it must be me...why is it that everyone I talk to on the phone (or sometimes even in person) will not let me get a word in edgewise. For example, my cousin (who I love dearly) seems to only call me when she needs to complain about her current man troubles. I try to speak and get cut off immediately...

i can't remember where i heard this but, here it is.
there are two types of people. people who listen to what you are saying and comment on it. and there are those who wait for their turn to speak.
or something like that. i can't stand the second type of person.

ok, I'm listening...

How appropriate for Valentine's Day...my boyfriend is pissing me off! I'm really having second thoughts about our relationship and he seems unwilling to do anything about the problems. It starts with the fact that he does not help out with any of the housework. Now I'm not looking to eat off the floor but leaving dishes in the sink until there is mold growing on...

it's hard enough thinking for yourself sometimes...

he came up in a silliness thread...why not liber-ace?
Seeing as how I just read the lovely Terrakotta's rant I now feel the need to write a short one of my own.
It really irritates me to no end how I make comment after comment in people's journals and they can't take the time out to even send me one word in return! No, I'm not talking about those of you who are...

i've never understood people that "collect" suicidegirls. like they ask them to be their friends just to have their picture on their profile.
ok.....so i have a mac so for me it's command+shift+3 (or 4). three does the whole screen and four gives you cross hairs so you can take a specific pic. but i don't know if these will work. try googling a program called SnapNGrab. but also i'm not sure if that's just for mac's. or you could just ask Terrakotta how she did it because she has a PC.

Thank you for your comment. I like beer very much, so I'm taking your tip. I'm planning to going back next week, so I definitely going try your recommendation. I even may go on Sunday so I could make good my promise of free drinks (or beers). Send me a message if you are up to it.
Since I really have nothing of importance to talk about, has anyone else noticed that the price of SG just went up $3 monthly? I guess this is the price we pay for "needing" to view 4 sets of pictures a day.

New York is as far south as my expertise goes.
Maybe find a SG that you have something in common that lives in Philly or the Group SG Philly???

where did you find that. i just checked my payment thingy and it didn't say anything about the price going up.
Update on The Leach!!
Well Gamma doesn't have to worry about baby-sitting anymore: The Brat moved back in with her mother and told The Leach that she doesn't even want to come visit him anymore until he can collect his thoughts and be a real father (where that came from I have no clue...sounds like her mother talking). So of course that sent The Leach...

In the the drinks thing, you got it, just choose the place and let me know in advance.
terrakotta:
Well, good news so far as far as the Brat is concerned, but WTF? Does the Leach give off some sort of fumes that encourage people to become his enablers??? I say turn off the ringer and check the ID when you do hear the phone ring. Perhaps Mary will take him in and thanks to his bankrupcy, we can all enjoy higher interest rates. Bastard!
At least it will be spring soon. I know, that's a small consolation, but I wanted to end this comment on a high note.

Advice time!!
My ex-husband, whom we will call The Leach, is totally draining my energy. He is just so helpless and I feel so bad for him, yet I feel that he is taking advantage of my kindness. Now The Leach and I have no bad feelings between each other. Our marriage simply didn't work because we were following two separate paths in life (I...

Thanks for your comment. I've seen therapists off and on.. and no I haven't in a while. I have meds.. I was on them for a while.. but either I never believed in them, or I was just not on a type that worked for me. I think its kinda self-defeating to ask a depressed person to have faith that a medication will make them feel better.. and keep taking it on faith alone. If I had faith that things would get better.. I wouldn't be depressed. I dunno.. Sorry for complaining. Thanks for commenting though. I'll make it through. somehow.
terrakotta:
Um, unless The Brat came out of YOUR UTERUS I think he has put way too much of the responsibility of caring for this...er.. child. And while it is commendable that you have maintained a friendship after the divorce, I think that has evolved into a caregiver-caresucker relationship that, I agree with Caradura, has gotten a little too involved. Where is this child's mom? Why isn't SHE picking them up with the AAA card in the middle of the night?
Sorry, this wasn't helpful advice at all. But take it from someone who had to be the caregiver for a decade: it never stops until YOU stop it. I wish I could give you advice, but the only way I was able to put a stop to it was to cut off all ties all together, and it sounds like you have a friendship with the 'ex.
ps: I think I deserve triple Scrabble points for using the word UTERUS in an SG posting.

Anyways.. have tons of fun in Philly. I'm counting down the weeks til I go to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. That's a whole week vacation, leaving the day after my last final this semester.
