Awe. I'm glad he apologized. When my boyfriend gets sassy or ignores me, (we're both gamers too) I just give him the cold shoulder, and when he apologizes, I tell him how it made me feel and we learn from it. Or I just go ride my horse for HOURS without checking in.
Drives him crazy
Dan... That's amazing.
Yeah it's kinda sad that once you decide to give them the cold shoulder they're like "oh shit I made a mistake I should say something." Well it's better than nothing and dealing with a total prick I suppose. Sometimes he can be a bit slow which is a little frustrating. But Most of the time he's a sweetheart.
As for the whole girlfriend or boyfriend thing, my wife once approached me.
"Jack says he is gay."
"He can't be gay. The boy couldn't color-coordinate an outfit if his life depended on it."
Mind you I have no interest in professional sports, can't change the oil in my car, love perusing flower catalogs, listen to new age music, have loads of soundtracks in my iTunes Library, and cry at the drop of a hat for my favorite movies. So there you go. ;)
It is the peafowl breeding season and I was hoping my birds would stay on their normal schedule of starting to lay eggs in April. A lot of people are hatch-a-holics which means they are addicted to hatching bird eggs. I am not one of those people because I get very stressed out incubating peafowl eggs. I worry about them especially around hatch day because several times I have dealt with the nightmare that is helping a peachick out of the egg because it breaks a hole in the egg but gets stuck inside and it is very scary trying to avoid causing it to bleed to death. You have to go slowly and take your time and it is just very stressful. I love raising up the peachicks, but the hatching part is rough. Anyways, today I found the first egg of the year and I have mixed emotions about getting the first egg a month early. I have to hatch because I need more experience and need to sell peachicks to break even, but I am super worried about how it will go! I have increased the peahen's calcium intake so hopefully that will help prevent getting weak peachicks that can't hatch on their own. This first egg I collected is going to be sold so I won't start incubating eggs just yet - but I am sure it won't be long before I will be firing up the incubator.:biting nails:
Not really a bitch but I made a really funny video...I can't post said video because it's kind of inappropriate. Crap.
appropriateness is in the eye of the beholder.Quote:

Ugh f*ck I was supposed to have a photoshoot in SD today and instead I spent most of today at the doctor's office because some things have no sense of timing. Stupid mortal body with mortal problems. :gah:
Anahita if it makes you feel any better I just got sick too :(
Woke up with a sore throat, chills and a burning body, and a headache. Not sure how it happened but I do work at the mall. very little people happened yesterday because of impending icestormgeddon. Speaking of even though it was falling ice it was quite warm. It's been extremely cold the past few days. (Maybe it's from the weather change)
But then again it could also be the poisonous fumes I accidentally inhaled when I was spraying protection on my new boots.
And now I type in bed.blah. And I'm on my period. Blah.
I just had the whole crippling, nearly-puking migraine joy last night and I'm still in that 'feeling wierd' post-migraine zone T_T I think codine is the only thing keeping it from returning today >_<Quote:

The guy LIED about where he was located!!! So we were driving around in the boondocks, looking for a road that doesn't exist!
I asked if he could deliver it, and he said no, then went online, reposted it, and told people that I lied about picking it up, and that I never showed!
I googled your address you little turd blossom!
Your road doesn't exist in this state!
GARAHGARGARHH! !
That asshole!Quote:

That is terrible Shimmer! I hope everything gets sorted out.
when you told him you were a mermaid, he was scared for his life, because he figured you were going to lure him to his death. (he's heard the stories. the actual stories, not the disneyfied cartoon versions). So he gave you a false address kind of like women give creepy bar guys a false phone number.
Jay that was the most elaborate and hilarious response ever. And it makes sense.
This is why we're friends. You make me feel better about cruddy situations. Lol[emoji23]
hopefully you hadn't given him the $65 yet
No. He didn't get the money
atleast the only thing you lost was time right?
Yeah, I guess that's something to smile about.
I ordered a monofin a while ago and was told it was going to arrive on the 3rd/4th of this month. Then they sent me an email stating
"Due to a problem encountered in the logistics plaform of our supplier, we inform you of a change in the availability of the following product."
And the arrival date was changed to the 5th/6th. I didn't mind because I'm not going away til the 6th in the afternoon, I'll get it before I go and be able to swim with it in the hotel pool.
I was sent another email about an hour and a half ago and it stated that my fin wouldn't be arriving til the 9th/10th (Again with problems encountered with supplier, it was exactly the same as the first email). So now there is a sad face and ugly crying as I'm not going to get to try out my new monofin this weekend.
I don't know how many more emails I'm going to receive that informs me I won't be getting my monofin, but I think I'm going to be very sad while I wait
was it swiminn.com /diveinn.com? I had major issues with shipments from them in the past and i'm like one country away. I now NEVER order anything that's out of stock. I placed an order with them for dive belt gear. The weight retainers were out of stock so they said they would ship once the stock came in. That stock came in and the belt itself went out of stock. So then I had to wait for that to come back in stock too. Wouldn't it make sense to yaknow... hold the stock for my order so it doesn't run out when I've already been waiting? *facepalm*Quote:

so just now over dinner I ended up bringing up an old vague story Mum told me a while back. When she was training to be a nurse back in the late 70s and living in rented accomodation she discovered an old bomb of some kind that had been left behind in the old garden shed. people had been dumping their bikes in there for years and they uncovered it one night during a party when they were moving some armchairs in there and her friends were like 'nahhh don't be silly!' and it was forgotten about til the next day when mum called the police and told them. They were there in 3 mins with the bomb disposal team who took it away to do a controlled detonation. They called back a few weeks later to say it'd been live. She doesn't know if it was an old wartime shell or from her description it was an IRA pipe bomb left behind by someone. How it didn't go off and hurt someone I have no idea. anyways. (p.s *waves to any NSA/MI6 peoples reading this* lol)
I find the story rather amusing. Mum is like this tiny blonde lady and I find it funny that she has this random story in her past that she like never brings up. And I asked if she would mind me posting the story on tumblr just to share something amusing and kinda awesome.
Queue me getting my head bitten off by my older brother out of his over-the-top paranoia. Including telling me that wanting to post it was attention seeking. I ended up trying to explain why he was being silly about it purely because of how rude and harsh he was about it. Mum had already kinda said no to me posting it (my brother kinda spoke over her and before she had a chance to speak for herself) and I was already going to respect her wishes, and even if my brother had said/asked calmly for me not to post it, I wouldn't have at all. But once again I ended up just further getting my head bitten off by him cause everything has to be his way and he is aaalways right. And once again feeling that the argument/discussion was going to go nowhere I just bit my tongue and said 'you know what, nevermind' which happens in this household A LOT. and ONCE AGAIN in this kinda situation when he had left the room shortly after, mum mouthed that she 'knew what I was saying' aka she agreed with me! She seems to never want to say aidan's wrong, but has told me when she thought I was wrong plenty of times. She basically tiptoes around upsetting him. I think it's cause she's scared of bringing out the little part of him that is like my dad. And scared of triggering his mental health issues. Instead she lets him trample all over me.
Just the other month me and him ended up in an arguement that majorly triggered my anxiety, because he was trying to tell me how to cope with my depression. I've beaten depression before. I know what works for me. He was once again telling me not suggesting, and he was 'suggesting' things that I KNOW won't work for me or telling me ways that depression works when I know better than him how my brain works. His works one way and mine works another way. But he got all arsey cause I kept 'shooting down' his 'suggestions' and 'devaluing them' like I was putting him down. When he was the one putting me down and trying to tell me quite forcefully how to act and do things, and essentially telling me I don't know how my brain works. If he'd have said something actually helpful or correct I would and did acknowledge it. He was all arsey with me because I wasn't replying in a certain way to validate him aka like 'I get what you're saying and I'll take it on board' when I'm only going to take on board things that actually help. I was instead explaining why they wouldn't help me and apparently that makes me a bitch. If he genuinely wanted to help me he wouldn't have raised things in such a confrontational way, or escalated it into an argument because all it did like I said, was ratchet my anxiety up a whole bunch more. And also left my anxious mind painfully aware that I was trapped in an armchair in the corner of the room and he was between me and the door so it wasn't like I could just walk away and extricate myself from the situation.
Most of the time he's lovely. But I always end up trying to avoid asking his opinion on anything because almost always it ends up in an argument. But obviously I still can't avoid this kinda situation all the time. If any issues or subject is brought up he HAS to give his opinion and thoughts on the matter and if he isn't immediately validated he gets all up in arms about it. And hates when I try to point out that he does the same to me. If i'm wrong about something he tells me i'm wrong and makes ME feel like i'm an idiot.
ARGHHHHHHH *rant over*

Lilian I volunteer to fly down there and finslap the shit out of him.
I have a hydra clear I was going to sell but I'd imagine the shipping would be extotionate lolQuote:

Oh Elle, I wish I had been able to get my order in sooner so I could have helped you. Im sorry they keep changing shipping on you. So unfair :( with the recent info that has come to light about them and the shipping im very glad I decided to go for a loan to get the order placed sooner. Next monday or tuesday it should be placed!
Dont worry I'll make a second tail one day and I know who I'll be ordering my monofin from :)

Ugh! So the past few weeks i have been working a lot more than i should have
I got no messages from Mernetwork on my gmail account so i thought things were quite or something.
Checked my spam box only to find Mernetwork messages in there.
GRRRRRRR!!!! Why does gmail do that all of a sudden out of nowhere?
* slaps gmail across the face a few times*
:thumbdown: Gmail you suck sometimes!
Mine did the same thing!!! I'm still trying to train it not to throw them away!
Oh no PearlieMae!
What's weird is on one hand i feel bad for you having the same thing going on, on the other hand i'm glad to know i'm not the only one dealing with that sh*t lol
about half of my mernetwork notifications end up in the spam folder. I have no clue what criteria hotmail has for its division
Well...I think I am sick with a cold. Today is the first day of my Spring Break. I really hope this cold goes away quickly because I was planning on doing a lot of things such as swimming in my tail at the beach.
Right now my nose is like a faucet. :(
