And I find myself in a bit of a quandary. I just found out that my ex-fiance's grandmother has passed away, and it looks like her grandfather and great aunt may both be only a few days behind. I absolutely adored (and still do) all three of them. I'd like to go to the funeral(s) once scheduled, but therein lies the problem.
Don't go. Your love for those who have/will pass is not enough to overcome the pain your ex's family still associates with you. And you would be upsetting your wife.
If anything, make a charitable donation to a suicide help program in the family's honor. You would be helping others, avoiding needless confrontation, and it's probably the best apology you could make to your ex's family.
So, there's this girl at work. I'll admit right away that she's cute as hell, and even though I've only seen her in her requisite uniform, I'm fairly certain that she's goth, punk, or some blend along those lines. And her last name is the same as one of my best friends.
Now, some other requisite background without divulging anything that probably... Read More
I hate my birthday. Long story, but if I had my way I'd just as soon not celebrate it and instead celebrate any number of other days instead. But, I get outvoted by my family year after year after year. Anywho, it's a little over a month away. They keep asking for a list. So I made a wishlist. I don't expect anyone here to... Read More
So much going on right now I can hardly keep up. On one side, it keeps feeling like things are getting worse. I threw a temper tantrum the other day. I didn't even realize I was doing it until the pain of tearing muscle fiber pulled me out of it when I bit my arm hard enough to draw... Read More
So, a lot of changes are in the works. I can't say too much publicly, but one good sign is that it looks like I'll finally be purchasing a house soon. It's a fixxer-upper, but it's had to beat nearly 2000 square feet on 5.7 acres for under a hundred grand.
In other realms, I'm thinking about deleting the fetish list that is my current... Read More
So there I was, elbow deep in polymer clay, sculpting out some custom accessories for some models. I was having a great day, thus far. Stress was melting away at a rate that can only be achieved by being alone with a meticulous, exacting, process accompanied by music and coffee.
Then the phone rang. I won't go into specifics, but basically, I was informed that... Read More
The icy tendrils of depression are slowly creeping into form, manifesting themselves like a timid maelstrom, quietly churning and building to an eventual crescendo within my being.
I've been sort of walking two diverging lines lately. I've been incredibly busy with real life. Work, trying to buy a house, legal matters, and some internal struggles and debates. Because of this, I've been bubbling over with... Read More
I finally get some time to wind down after six days with no power, a trip to VA beach, national blow shit up day (and oh, lord, did we blow shit up), and then another storm with two more days of no power. But did I wind down? Nope. I decided to start playing warhammer 40K again after a 12-year hiatus.... Read More
I've been AFK for a few days now thanks to a massive storm with widespread line damage. the power's been out for three days, and even now, I'm typing this on my phone. But did that stop me from following my plans to head down to the beach with a couple homeboys? Nope. Some things have changed... Read More
Heh. I hate the hustle and bustle, but that goes with any city. I mostly love the beach, the fact that a bar is almost always within stumbling distance, and watching silly tourists. If you could put a beach in the mountains within walking distance to a forest, I'd never leave.
