didn't see a feels thread, and I got some feels.

>live in the middle of nowhere
>only thing that really cheers me up about living here is buying lolita
>spend tons of money on lolita
>want to talk to friends about it but they all seem like they are judging me for spending so much money or think I'm bragging about it
>have other lolita friends but none of them are close friends or live near me

tl;dr nobody to talk about the only thing that makes me happy with

The internet helps, but god I cannot wait until I move close to a real comm.

I'm trying to make a new cosplay and I'm passing ideas back and forth with my boyfriend and I feel like he's slowly trying to take over the project. Like he'll come over with all these ideas about how to make different parts and then gets super offended if I don't like his idea or want to do something different. That and he keeps telling everyone WE are working on it. When I'm the only one who is going to touch it.

Yo that's the thing though he does. He's the kind of person that tries to help everyone out with their costumes. Which is nice most of the time but I want to make this myself.
>Oh, are you making an X costume? Need some help?

>have issues with people I don't know well touching me, or just people in general touching me without warning.
>personal shit an what not that I am not going to let become public knowledge with the comm.
>Some members of the comm think it is cool to greet by hugging that they have met maybe two times.
>It makes me freeze up awkwardly
>Try to play it off, is just very awkward for all involved.
>Sometimes people will randomly touch accessories or what not without warning
>I will freeze up and flinch from random hands randomly coming for me
>Try really hard to play it off but it always makes whoever just innocently poked my fuzzy accessory feel really awkward.
Thankfully after a few times they have learned that I'm not cool with the hugging, and have stopped, but like it is innocent to want to touch something like a wig or someones shoulder or even like an "Oh I know!" pat and I get that but I just can't deal with that and I don't know how to express that without talking about unnecessary baggage.
I don't want people to think I am distant or don't like them, or some crazy attention hungry bitch with 100 problems.
I like them, and good buy hugs are cool, I know it is coming and your all standing there with your arms open and I'm prepared, but random surprise HI hugs are a no and I feel like it keeps happening with the same girl who wants to be my friend but is being discouraged by this and I just want to go "NO I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND REALLY I JUST CAN'T WITH THE TOUCHING"

Last feels thread vanished, but continuing from where I had been posting...

Boyfriend had surgery last night.
They found a new abscess, but it was so early that the procedure was quick and easy.
They took more biopsies and bloodwork, so hopefully they'll be able to tell us why he's getting these abscesses.
His surgeon said that he's in the wrong profession to get recurring abscesses so young (apparently hairdresses and taxi drivers are most prone to abscesses of this nature?)

Anyway, Japan trip is off. Flights are "credited" due to the circumstances and because we were smart enough to get cancellation and travel insurance, so he's no longer quite so upset, because we can replan our trip for when he's recovered. Now we just need to figure out why he keeps getting sick like this, and everything will be peaches.

Yep. The thing is, I have Crohn's disease, so technically *I* should be getting these sorts of things before he ever does. He doesn't have the usual underlying causes associated with them (such as chronic illness of the bowel or a condition like diabetes, poor hygiene due to age or disability, or the right environment as relates to cab drivers and hairdressers).

The doctors are baffled, which means we're baffled. And frustrated. The first we could write off as a fluke. This second one, not so much.

You should be upfront with him.
Not rude, because he isn't really doing anything bad, just tell him that this is something
you want to work on yourself. I know how frustrating it can be when someone is doing
stuff like that to something you're working on, just remember they're just trying to do the right thing.

>>7946464
That must suck, I'm the exact opposite so I can't really relate.

I was on a low FODMAP diet last year to test for that, and he basically ate the same as I did out of solidarity. He didn't respond to anything during the testing phase (though I did). They've done basic bloods for things like caeliac's disease and diabetes, but nothing deeper than that, so it may be worth bringing up.

I plan to have a good year in 2015, going to a whole bunch of cons and doing a bunch of cosplays but it's also daunting and will cost tons of money. I need to make sure it's very worth it.

That actually fits a few symptoms. He hasn't had any in a while, but he used to get cystic acne when he was younger. The abscesses have been internal so far, but that's still in the list of potential symptoms. Hm. Worth asking about, regardless. They've already crossed off diverticular disease, autoimmune/colitist/Crohn's and a few others.

That's pretty cute anon, but I know how it can be kind of daunting. It's kind of down to whether you want (or mind) him being interested in your hobbies, and to what extent. Quite a few of my friends have normalfag boyfriends, some of them still don't understand why they're into j-fash or cosplay and just tolerate it, while others are supportive and get a bit involved. Mine on the other hand is a huge nerd like me but we're into different areas of out non-mainstream hobbies (I'm into lolita, he's into steampunk, for costumes I like anime and vidya while he's into comics) so it evens out a little.

Basically, don't hide your hobbies and feel free to talk about how enthusiastic you are about them- but don't force him to understand them if he's not interested. See if you really get along first and then worry about the interests later. Maybe start by linking him to some internet articles about j-fash/cosplay that match your views and seeing what he thinks to gauge his reaction?

I know exactly how you feel anon! For me it's because I'm an aspie and being touched without warning is super disorientating and kind of scary. In my case I could explain the situation without most people thinking I'm a special snowflake dramawhore (I hope?) but I know there are people who don't get it and take it really personally. It seems I had to step on some toes to get people to stop stepping on my toes.
Some of my friends have made it into a running joke where instead hugging we do E.T.-like finger touching and make X-files noises, and whether that turns into a proper hug is up to me. Fortunately most newer members have been observant enough to notice I'm not a huggy person so I've never had to hurt their feelings AND I don't have to do an aspie public service announcement every time a new person shows up. Some people just don't get it, though, and assume I'm rude or stuck up. It sucks. But for me, I'd rather have a handful of strangers dislike me for a stupid reason than force myself to undergo several minor freakouts every single meet.

I hate that she has a bf now because I was always the prettier and more popular one and she's a "Never been kissed" type closet virgin. I don't know what to do about this toxic internal cycle.

True. I don't even feel lonely 99% of the time but sometimes I feel like it would be nice to meet up with people with similar interests and do fun stuff together. I just wish I had a remote control to mute some people's stupid babbling.
The annoying thing is that I honestly don't know if I'm just being an asshole or if all these people I've been meeting lately actually are dumbasses. Could be both. It seems like people either
>are dumb and vapid
or
>think they're so much better than everyone else who is dumb and vapid while actually being quite dumb and vapid themselves, they just have a superiority complex about it (bonus points for "all other girls are so catty and bitchy and underhanded but not me!")
I hate the latter the most but I worry I'm actually one of them.

Fortunately there are a handful of people in my life who I actually get along with, they're just not in my age range or interested in the same stuff I am. I genuinely hope there are a lot of cool seagulls out there and I just haven't been lucky enough to meet them yet.

Eh, she sounds like a crappy friend, but that's what you get for hooking up with a friend's crush, even if he is a sleazeball. And you were always pretty and popular but couldn't ever make friends and are super lonely now? Please. Get over yourself and get over this ruined friendship.

It's okay, anon. My cosplay group is getting sick of me and apparently me crying over my friend dying was the straw that broke the camel's back. I even left when I was crying so I wouldn't be a bother. They're not really inviting me to do any group cosplays anymore, either.

Feel with me, anons. My group is slowly shutting me out of their plans too and I don't even know what I did wrong. I get the feeling that our interests are just very different from what they were last year or two years ago; it's not something I really feel bad about, because I'm enjoying new things while they've been doing the same thing for a while, but still. They're who I ride and room with at cons and it's a bummer they don't seem to want to associate with me anymore. Oh well, I can't really blame them for not wanting to hang out with someone who doesn't share their interests.
Here's to making new friends?

It pisses me off whenever people act possessive with cosplays/partners/groups. It's fun hanging out with people and matching so you have friends to be around that people will recognize what you guys are, but when people get legitimately angry and upset over you wearing a cosplay that you put money, time, and effort into, with people you want to and doing absolutely no harm to anyone in any form, it rubs me wrong. I'm used to doing solos and then meeting up with people if we happen to match. I don't want to feel guilt every time someone tells me they like my costume and I should do a shoot with them sometime and I have to say no. I don't want to feel bad or chained down for something that I made and want to wear around other people.

I used to be in a really possessive group of friends, too. It was totally bizarre, but I was so used to it I didn't even think of it. If you cosplayed a character, that cosplay was "yours" and no one else could do it. This even trickled down to things we liked - from the Pokemon we used on our teams to the motifs we liked on clothes (cupcakes vs lollipops, whatever). I have no idea why I stuck around them so long.

It's just a harmless hobby of making costumes, no one should feel like they should or shouldn't make one just because another person wears the same character.

Most SJWs who cry das sexist/das racis after I say those things have probably never lived in NYC. Depending on the neighborhood I either ignore them or if it's a benign enough comment say thanks/no thanks. Best avoid the shady areas though, as much as you can, and bring some self-defense just in case.

He's always been supportive of hobbies before and even said he thinks lolita is cute, but I guess the price tag for brand is too much for him, and I don't want him to think negatively of me for spending that much on a skirt.

sandwich tissue paper between the pieces when you baste/pin them. keeps things nice and stable and you can just tear it out at the end. sometimes you'll get fluffies in your machine though

the tissue paper trick also helps with cutting. tissue paper, fabric, tissue paper, pattern piece. keeps things firm. if it's cheap polyester and you don't care, I've heard of using that quilting spray baste stuff, but I wouldn't use it on silk. who knows what it could do, man

Friend has asked me to help with her cosplay, have a month to git it dunn. I agree because I wanna help even though i have basic sewing skills (i made a pair of pants once and this is a sailor fuku)
She doesn't help at all, says she's too scared to even cut out the fabric with the patterns I've pinned down.
I had a friend pass away, have university and work obligations, ect explain i haven't finished it yet when she asks about progress but I'll have it done.
I've been so busy, frantic and basically unmotivated in my down time to work on it and I've explained that I'm struggling with the collar/attaching the fuku.
Her mum is a decent sewer and i suggest getting her to finish it because it only needs the collar, hemming and zipper to be attached. She says nope, her mum is too busy (her mum has no job and just crochets and stuff, nothing too important that she can't set aside an hour or two)
I really don't want to work on this and i should be working on an assignment but i know she'll bitch to everybody what a cunt i am for giving up when her con is this weekend.
Tl;dr i did all this work for free with no help and i wish she'd just fucking do the rest on her own or find somebody to take over because i am in over my head at the moment.

It's my 21st birthday and I can't even get drunk. Because I have work tomorrow and I'm still depressed as ever. I talked to my parents on the phone and they acted like I'm a social pariah, I have no time and no upcoming cons to work on cosplay for. I was working on a cop avatar from psycho pass, but I quit working on it because of mental health issues and am not up to making a mascot right now. I also got too fat for lolita because my medications made me gain 50 lbs. (one literally makes you crave sweets enough that I had to remove all food from my dorm so I could stop gaining weight. People have been known to eat entire bags of sugar on it without realizing they had) I've started losing some, but it won't be until March before I lost it again.

So I'm pretty much in a slump. I also failed a dorm inspection today, but I'm going home on leave on Saturday so it won't be too awful.

Aw anon, i just wish the best for you! It's awful when you feel to have cancer but at least lolita could be a good help to distract you from your fears a bit.
Now here is my feels

>show him pics of me in random jfashion with AP casual items and lolita
>i love mostly sweet lolita in black but going into gothic too
>he said the look is like a little girl
>muh feels of worry
>need to teach him better about the fashion
The weird thing is he isn't a normalfag at all, he has many piercings, side shawed hair and gothic/metal clothing so i bet he never met any girl into jfashion or lolita other than me, only goths or maybe normie looking girls. Just hope he dont believe i dress lolita because i'm into ageplay or idk what reason, but i bet he is only a bit clueless about the fashion.
>but he know about visual kei fashion and want to wear it

That sucks, I'm in a similar situation but with way less stress than you. I agree with other anon to just go to her mum directly if you can, or see if you can pass it on to a mutual friend who has the time and skills for it.
If you have the guts, just drop the costume off at her place and tell her you don't have time to finish it while looking really stressed and desperate or something. Alternatively, get it done in the cheapest and fastest way possible (she can't complain too much about quality/craftmanship if she didn't do it herself, safety pins perhaps?).Good luck with your assignment and other life stuff.

Personally I'm also stuck making a friend's costumes for them. She can't sew to save her life but keeps making plans outside of her skill range, and plans 'cosplay work' days with our circle of friends which end up with me doing all the work for her while she watches anime. For her past couple of costumes I've been the one doing almost all of the patterning and sewing, and even styling her wigs for her. Her older sister is better at sewing than I am and talks about how she's bored when not at her part time job, but my friend has petty arguments with her all the time so they're never on good enough terms for her to do it instead. Friend tries to redeem herself by claiming she's great at making props and jewellery, or that perhaps she could think of a clever skit for me! Never mind that she's actually terrible at all of those things.

I'm an aspie too, is it okay if I try the finger touching too? I accidentally put people off by saying "I'm sorry, I'm one of those people who likes their space" when someone gets too close or hugs me. I have full blown panic attacks where I become nearly unresponsive if I'm not expecting being touched. If someone tries to hug right now, it's that awkward half hug half deflect motion that puts me in an awkward state.

There are a lot of southern people in my job where hugs by acquaintances are constant and freak me out. Seriously, fuck you southern hospitality.

Over the past year, I've realized that my best friend and cosplay partner is really not someone I enjoy being around very much. I've realized she's not a great person and really not a good friend. A lot of the time, I feel apathetic about our relationship, but I'm feeling sort of lonely and wish we were closer again even though I know ultimately distancing myself is for the best. It just sucks that I genuinely care about her, but she's made it clear that I can be put off until it's convenient for her for so long while still hollowly calling me her best friend that I just can't put myself through it anymore. It's lonely, but the fact that she hasn't reached out to me in weeks since I decided to stop being the one to initiate contact all the time kind of shows what I mean to her. I know I sound like a clingy friend, but I'm genuinely so low maintenance, and she can't be assed to put in the effort.

And it really sucks because she like the perfect cosplay partner for me. We had so many duet costumes "planned" that would probably have never happened anyway, but I'll almost definitely be doing them alone after this.

>inb4 communicate
I've tried to tell her that the way she treats me is inconsiderate and that I wish we spent more time together, and she's just gone "yeah I'm sorry me too!" and nothing has changed. Oh well.

Sorry to rant, I'm just annoyed and frustrated and kind of just want to tell her to go fuck herself.

I am really bummed out that my best friends live 1.5+ hours away from me. Conventions and the occasional weekend getaway trip somewhere are the only ways we really get to see each other.

The distance used to be about 4 hours though, so I guess I am thankful that moving to my university has brought me closer.

But still, what I wouldn't give for them to be ten to thirty minutes away. One of my best friends and I saw each other twice this month, youmacon, and then a KPOP concert last weekend... And we were both like, "We are spoiling ourselves with seeing each other this often!!" And now I probably won't see her, and my other friends till January-March.

I am really going to try to plan a trip to see them in December since I'm on break for a month- but I won't hold my breath. I'm a poor college kid.

Thank you for being frank with me. I usually don't inquire about these sort of things, but I figured I'd rather be aware since I'm from a small Midwestern town.

It's kind a bummer that even in a big city, people can be closed minded. I'm sure my brother would fill me in at some point, but in your opinion, what would be some generally safe areas to stick around in, let alone live in?

I'm curious about how it generally is when taking subways and which ones tend to be notorious for harassment. I know that Chicago proper has some weird rules about using pepper spray. How is it there?

I'm just really frustrated. This has been going on for a while and it's honestly really creepy and hypocritical. Like, porn's one thing, but it's like....my hobbies. And he's supportive of my hobbies, he'll even pay for my cosplays and some lolita stuff. It's just disturbing thinking he might be helping me with stuff to get his jollies. And it's just SO hypocritical, it makes me angry.

>It's generally advised to lose maximum 2lbs per week
>Consume 1000 kcals less per day, or a combination of exercise and eating less
>Aerobic exercise allows you to burn fat, because the process of the Krebs cycle utilizes Acetyl CoA which can be made using fat
>Breakfast is an important meal and actually helps with not eating more throughout the day
>The minimum amount of kcals the body needs to function is 1200 kcals

Boyfriend is cheating again, I think.

I caught him out last year and he got down on his knees, cried, said he'd never do it again, doted on me for a month.

But he's insanely protective of his phone now. Has put passwords on everything, deletes all his internet history and he came back home smelling of another girl's perfume last weekend when he said he was going out to see friends.

Probably overreacting but meh.

That's not rational adult behavior when confronted with accusations.

Think about this, you already have reason to believe that he might cheat again, because he already fucking cheated. He should understand that you have some concerns about what he's doing.

I'm not one to intervene with others affairs, but fucking leave him. Even if he's not cheating, that kind of behavior is not acceptable for a man or woman.

I don't think men (speaking as a man), really consciously aim to hurt a woman when we cheat. I've cheated before and it was fuelled largely by alcohol and lust. I don't think it implieed or meant I loved my girlfriend of the time any less. Women need to understand that.

Sure! It may look weird but it gets the point across that a) you like your space and b) you don't actually hate people or whatever, it's just the hugging that's not okay.

My extended family is also from a very touchy-feely friendly kissy huggy region (not in the US but you'll find these people everywhere) and I'm pretty sure most of them hate me because I don't want to hug and kiss all of them every time we see each other.

If you're a married dad, your daughter is basically like your wife but as she was when she was younger. That's why most dads have thought about fucking their daughters at least once or twice.

Lolita may not be scanty, but it's sexually suggestive.

You know just because people don't always follow it to the letter doesn't mean them teaching it is a bad thing.
Alcohol and porn are both bad things that we'd probably be better off without, sure they're not pure evil and will get you dragged down to hell. But as a whole avoiding them will probably result in you having a better life. Its important to take religion for their key points and not for the mysticism surrounding it. Very few religions teach you bad habbits, its just people who take it to the extreme and act like retards about it that give it a bad name.

Except for the time my church had the worst sex ed class ever.

Or the time my colleague's dad told me he was conflicted about her going to med school because in the end he expects her to be a housewife, because that's the Christian thing to do.

Porn and alcohol generally don't have a hold on your beliefs the way religion (among other ideals) does. Religion is full of nuts. I feel like I've only met nuts who try to induct me into their crazy fucking cult. Don't get me wrong, I think religion has a few good things going for it, but on the whole it's fairly backwards and unless the fundies change to progressives in the next few years I'm not a huge fan of it.

Them teaching it isn't a bad thing. Them terrifying the shit out of their kids by telling them they will suffer for eternity if they even think about it, as opposed to taking a more reasonable approach and actually explaining WHY it is bad, is a bad thing. Them then turning around and doing the same thing like it's no big deal isn't just a bad thing, it's fucked up and it fucks their children up.

My parents taught me all about alcohol and other vices and follow their own advice because they actually believe in it. They're atheists and they never married even after they had me. It really rustles my jimmies that these fundamentalist religious people sit around pointing their finger at good people like my parents and call them degenerates while being disgusting, hypocritical pigs themselves.
I have nothing against religious people as long as they're not hypocritical sanctimonious shits but the ones that are REALLY piss me off.

Lolita is sexually suggestive in the same way a Powergirl cosplay is more sexually suggesting than a one piece swimming costume, despite showing about the same or less skin.

It's not about showing skin, it's about what it suggest. Cosplay suggests trashyness and brokenness, lolita suggests submissiveness.

White women should give black men less attention, then they'd harass white women less. Problem is white women are complicit in this whole "white women love black men and vice versa" fetish, that only encourages black men more and makes them think every white girl wants their d.

Anon. Every girl I've ever met or dated (and the latter is admittedly only 3 in total) has enjoyed rough, degrading sex. Porny sex. They've liked giving head. They've liked swallowing. They liked me cumming on them.

Now either they were all complicit in a big lie or women also are guilty of having their sexuality influenced by porn in a big way.

Can you not read? Anon said LESBIAN porn. Obviously not dick loving girls. Lesbian porn is all too frequently not at all sexy and obviously aimed at straight men.

And just because you found a few girls who like those things doesn't mean all of them do. Hell, I like those things, but I also certainly have a problem with the degrading nature of a lot of straight porn.

Depends on the situation and the kind of porn. If he's truly watching it instead of approaching me for sex then he can gtfo. If he's watching it because we're unable to have sex for a period of time (distance, illness, etc.) I wouldn't hate it as long as he's watching something that's respectful to everyone involved. I'd never date a guy who watches degradation porn, that's just a huge red flag to me.

Fortunately I managed to find a guy with a rather low sex drive who is perfectly satisfied with me so this isn't an issue in my life right now. I'd honestly rather be alone than date someone who gets off on watching women be degraded.

I could say a lot about this, honestly, but it's not at all cgl-related, so I'll just say it's because I'm an active agent in my own sex life whereas women in porn are depicted as object and very little realistic attention is given to their pleasure. I don't personally find rough sex, giving head, or even necessarily have semen on my body to be degrading acts in and of themselves, and I can enjoy these things with a partner I can communicate with while still wanting representations of these things in straight porn that aren't based in sexist power play. Degradation of women shouldn't be depicted as sexy and desirable as broadly as it is. If it were confined to humiliation porn and the like, that would be one thing, but it isn't. That's not all there is to say about it, but this isn't the place for this discussion.

>>7949378

I occasionally feel a little uncomfortable with my body when I compare it to the porn my boyfriend watches (lots of big titted women, while I'm barely a handful) but not insecure that he wanks it to porn in general. He used to stay up looking at random, totally normal hot girls on facebook while I was asleep, and honestly that bothered me more than him watching professionals getting plowed. But ultimately, I watch porn too, and I'm not less attracted to him for it, so I try to keep in mind that he probably feels the same way and that I'd be crazy hypocritical to be bothered by him watching porn when I do the same thing.

I can't really get off to porn videos, they just lack some realism that I crave. I can't jerk it to some chick licking some fucking toilet seat, or some bitch fucking another bitch with a strap-on, or the whole "OH FUCK YES, FUCK ME IN THE ASS".

That's why I'll just stick to pictures of naked women, no dicks allowed.

Update on the auctions, the other bidder did it again. They've outbid me and now the price is 3.5x its actual worth.

This bidder is officially batshit crazy. I don't know whether I should feel happy b/c now I don't have to worry about spending more than I wanted/I can get something 1000% better for twice as much as the current bid, or if I should feel bad because it isn't going to be mine anymore/I need to save up for the nicer thing.

I guess fate doesn't want me to have this item (unless it turns out they can't pay lmao.) More news at 11.

Thing is people love to scream hypocrite, but it doesn't make them wrong for trying to stop other people from doing it. My sister used to be a huge drug addict and we all knew it, doesn't mean it was wrong of her to make sure my siblings steered clear though even while she was doing them.

Sometimes I wonder too, but I still do love him. Lately his total lack of motivation has been constantly grating my nerves, though. I feel like I'm the only one out of the two of us who is actually willing to work for our future. I've given up so much of myself, sold most of my possessions for him and I don't really think he's willing to make those same sacrifices for me. I'm giving him a few more months to shape up and prove me wrong, but I'm kind of overall done playing his mommy.

This feel turned into something completely different but it's still a feel.

Calorie count AND eat healthy foods.
Why is it that people fuck up so hard on this one simple thing?

It's either "oh I'm counting calories so I can eat junk food all the time but only if I eat a little bit" or "I can eat as much as I want because it's ~HEALTHY~"

Who's got the study where a bunch of fatties who claimed they'd tried everything and just couldn't lose weight got put on strict calorie controlled diets, were fed portioned meals under surveillance, and started losing weight when someone competent was actually counting their calories for them?

I don't think so, once the first bid is placed it becomes a full auction.

It doesn't help I'm getting a lot of greedy vibes from the seller due to the thirsty amount of ads they're putting out through a throw-away tumblr, either. I imagine they won't even throw in extras for the person who's buying the other item for far more than they originally asked for.

Lolita is meant to be worn, sure, but if you do it right the wear and tear is minimal and you can later on sell the items when you swap your wardrobe. You won't get as much back as you put in, but if you think of your ownership of the item as simply renting it, it's a lot more palatable for those concerned by the price tag. Really it's the same for any expensive hobby. Or, I should say, for any hobby, because they are almost all, by definition, expensive

Have you talked to management about this? Assistant manager means they value you and what you bring the table at least a little bit, especially since they're relying on you to do the manager's job as well. They might be able to give you a pay raise. Also, consider the amount of hours you're both getting. Seasonal tends to be 20 or less a week.

Not going to lie, I got my license at 18 and it was pretty unnerving. I felt like I was a split second away from a crash at all times. Not necessarily getting t-boned or something, it's the idea of scraping up against a parked car or rear-ending the guy in front of you that gets to you. But after driving for, what, five years now it's very natural. The car becomes a part of you, basically. You can throw it around without a care.

21sr birthday anon again. I'm trying not to kill myself tonight because a lot of shit just went really wrong but I'm going home on Saturday. if I check myself into inpatient then I won't be able to go home for at least a month. I live over 600 miles away from here and it's the first time in a year I'll be able to see my sister. Last time I saw her was when I went to a depression rehab place for a couple of months and she visited me. I don't want her to see me like that again because I'm the only consistent female role model in her life right now. I'm going to see if I can set up care in a residential treatment setting rather than an inpatient one so I can get better and finish out my medical discharge without having so much extra stress. I've been waiting over a year to get out and go back to my home state for good and I'm losing hope again.

Wealthy white girl, who for some reason has the name "Korea", discovers her inner-goth in college. The first thing she buys is a dress from Camden and she dyes her hair black. The rest of the chapter talks about how she never smiles.

I expected the chapter to be bad, but not that bad. I didn't take any offense, but it just wasn't funny or interesting. I would have rather liked it if the author and illustrator talked about how the girl was a goddamn weeaboo or something. The rest of the book was amusing and fairly accurate though.

What have I done. I was too late to realize it and start feeling it. I'm probably going to end my life I can't do it. It was fun crossplaying.

I'm not going to bore you with my life story, but I had to walk out of a job today like half an hour into my shift.

Basically I was given a piss easy task of maintaining the lobby in this fast food place, but I just couldn't do it.

And I'm only keeping this so short because I don't want to seem like some piece of shit crying over nothing.

For real, I've typed out like, 4 essays worth of shit rewriting this post.

>>7951436
take down her name and tumblr ect before she runs away without paying. if she cries about it when you do confront her just tell her she shouldve simply said something instead of avoiding the situation, which makes it worse for you.
spend 10 hours doing a commission, link lineart for approval ect then finished product, then they say exactly that and never come back online, when they do i message them and they go off. :'^)
