B!TC# IT OUT!

Sabrina, would a simple anti histamine work to help against the allergies?
I have a dust allergie myself and take a simple anti histamine pill when it gets too much, it helps me a lot.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

I think it should, actually. I tend to medicate with tea after the fact, but an anti histamine would probably help.

I will do this.

nothing about fat shaming is funny, nothing about food shaming is funny, nothing about verbal abuse is funny

it seems that his love has a fair few chains attached, and all around Kelly's neck

I found out today that a friend of mine committed suicide last night and that another friend is currently dying of cancer.

There's nothing I can say to such terrible news. I am so so sorry, and I will keep all of you in my thoughts.

Okay. So, here's a lighter topic for us.

I had some major drama with a friend of mine last year. Basically, she was being her usual entitled self. I called her on it. She wondered what my deal was, I said let's talk about it over coffee. She insisted we have it out via text. I acquiesced, against my better judgement, and told her.

She decided that I was a horrible and cruel person. "If that's who you are, Kate, I feel SORRY for you" she said, and hadn't spoken to me since.

I ran what I said to her passed multiple people, who all seem to think I handled it well. The theories on why she reacted the way she did vary from her daddy issues (I called her on behaviors she has ascribed to her emotionally abusive father. She started using those tactics on me, I said so. I DIDN'T say that she was acting like him, I just listed behaviors), to the thought that she had a long standing crush on me.

She was in my study hall last semester. She dropped it to avoid me.

And I get to school today, and my English class changed from Shakespeare to Creative Writing. Surprise surprise, there she is.

So, I know she won't critique my writing fairly. But I know my style and I know people like it. I know the teacher will like it. That's not my problem.

The problem is that I will have to critique HER work. She will not take anything I say seriously. She's a decent writer, and in better days we functioned as friendly rivals. I grew a LOT from critique she gave me. But something I noticed, even then, was that SHE never grew from critique I gave her.

She's gonna just be mad at me for doing what the class requires.

And we still haven't spoken. I need to talk to her before we start criticizing each others writing. Or else the teacher is gonna just be pissed at us for general lack of maturity in our interactions.

OH school drama. how i do not miss thee.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Hate it. I never get involved, either. But this time, she wrapped it up and deposited it on my doorstep.

If she has decent critique for me, I'll definitely listen to it. I always want to improve. I just wish she'd give me the same courtesy, and I know she won't.

Fuck her. Rise above. Give her work a critique that you would give a stranger in a writing workshop and leave it. Whether she acts like a spoiled brat or behaves like she has moved on from your shared 'drama' is on her. What do you care? She has no power over you.

[SeaGlass Siren]

^ and if she doesnt like your critique tell her she doesnt have to listen to it and do whatever she wants... so when she hands in her assignment she can fail MUAHAHAHA

Thank you, everyone. It was quite a shock to say the least. I'm really sad for his daughter, who also lost her mother a few years back and she's in her early 20's.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Another hug for you Shrielle.

Also. She is in my Anthropology class too! We got put together as lab partners.

I noticed her hanging back after class, so I guessed she asked to be moved.

I went back after handling a few things, and indeed she did. She didn't share any details to paint me an asshole to the teacher, at least.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

But yes. Clearly, she won't let the hatchet be buried, so I have to let her go. I'm fiercely loyal to my friends. To a fault. So I've just wanted to try and fix things... and. Well.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

And its made worse by the fact that I know she's hurting. Her father's ego and systematic emotional abuse has completely destroyed a lot of who she is.

I just wish I could help.

The Aussie dollar is so bad ATM that a tail from Pearlie would cost me $5000 ARGHHHHHHH I hate the economy.

[SeaGlass Siren]

Good morning auntie flow. This time I was prepared for your visit.

[Echidna]

I usually prepare all my food by myself (for good reason), but sometimes someone else in the family does the cooking.
Every single time, I find stuff in the meal that is at best nauseating, and at worst life-threatening.

I held up until the fourth unkempt human hair today, then I put the bowl back and said sorry, lost my appetite, and I'm again cast as the ungrateful, mean villain who does everything to give their poor family a hard time.

The time before there were small pieces of hard plastic in the food, and before then, ground glass.
No wonder I have internal bleedings so often, ffs.
And I can't count the times there were small bugs and vermin in the soup.

But everyone is thinking I'm being evil and ungrateful.
I have to get the eff away from them.
