Random Facts and Confessions part 6

[The Sad Punk]

My innards feel like they've been torn out, my mind is blank, I cannot express anything but sadness. I feel like I've just been born and I want to stay in the womb. How can an animal's death have so much effect on someone?

 

[Galeongirl]

Probably because it's not just an animal. For a lot of us they've been a friend, a very close friend that was always there when you needed it, never bitched and moaned about anything and just wanted some food and a cuddle to give you so much more in return.
And if I remember correctly Stimpy was quite old, that would mean you partly grew up with him around. That gives a lot of emotional attachment.

 

[Purplereign]

^^ I'm so sorry

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Animals love you unconditionally. I'm so sorry Bonnie

 

[Thora]

. . . I think I'm going to leave up the string of fairy lights running across my lounge room ceiling cuz they just make the room so damn pretty at night

Nothing wrong with that! You're talking about white Christmas lights, right? I keep mine up year-round - they're wrapped around things (entertainment system, on top of the window, over the fireplace, etc.) in my living room. It adds so much to the room at night, and it's much better than the damn glaring overhead lights that I have in there.

 

[Purplereign]

^ . . . these are called icicle lights (I think ) and are strung up across the centre of the ceiling in the big ole family room . . . great for watching movies and sitting around chatting and they're so pretty . . . tall people brush them with their pretty little heads from time to time giggle: ) but seeing as most of my friends are short asses like moi it's alllllll good

I am so, so sorry, Bonnie. Having "been there, done that" twice now, I can completely empathize. Cry and scream and kick all you want, and know that there are those here who would like to hug you and cry with you!

 

[JanuaryStar]

I'm sorry to hear that Bonnie

Be warned (my random confession for the day): I feel like lately has just been nothing but trouble. My body is desperately screaming for some rest and relaxation, but I still have an exam on Monday (studying for that is not going so well) and a pretty tough week ahead of check-ups/meetings and whatnot. Also, I have to think about things which, in my opinion, nobody should be burdened with, at least not for such a long time. I'm on the verge of something I'm not quite sure what it is. All I do know is, if nothing changes soon, that can't be good... I'm trying to keep up the spirits (although that sounds so void right now) for better times to come. And am doing everything in my power to try and change this

 

[Purplereign]

. . . I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time gorgeous girl and I hope the sun will start shining for you soon

sending lots of happy thoughts your way

I pray for a positive change for you in the very near future. I'm sure things will be better soon.

Meanwhile, my health problems continue to bug me. Seems I have a hormonal disorder with strange swellings around my eyes, hands, feet, also my muscles still hurt. I wanted to go and see my doctor on monday, but I was told yesterday that I have to appear at work for an important meeting, so I'll try and go to see her on Tuesday. She'll probably say I'll have to have some more tests and medication, but I simply cannot afford that in times like these that are so crucial for my professional life (new job and all ... I have so much to do). On the other hand I cannot go on like this. I can hardly open my eyes in the mornings because they're swollen so badly. I look horrible and I'm totally depressed. It looks as if I've been drinking all the time, or crying, or as if someone beat me up very badly. It makes me want to hide for at least half the day, I'm so embarrassed.

Things are getting better during the day but every morning it's just the same struggle, especially since Christmas. I hate having to think about what's wrong with my body all the time.

 

[Purplereign]

^ . . . that doesn't sound fun at all . . . I hope you manage to find out what the problem is soon LU . . .

JanuaryStar and last unicorn:

 

[last unicorn]

Thanks.

 

[Bono's shades]

Maybe my silly, embarassing confession will cheer folks up.

I was in the drug store today and found myself singing out loud to the song they were playing over the PA system. After a few bars I realized what I was doing and stopped dead in my tracks and looked around to make sure no one heard me.

What makes it even more embarrasing is the song was "Heaven Is A Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle. I'm blaming it on residual love of the Go-Gos from my junior high school days.

 

[RedRocksU2]

here's my confession...I like that song

 

[Purplereign]

Me three

hell, I wanted to BE her way back when

'oooh heaven is a place on earth'

 

[cobl04]

hey if i'm in a good mood i'd probably do that willingly

 

[JanuaryStar]

Thanks to Purplereign, last unicorn and MsPurrl

Silvia, hope your near future will start looking better as well... Good luck with everything


Ooh baby do you know what that's worth? Ooh heaven is a place on earth.........!! Ok when I'm in some sort of mood I play that song, loud, and happen to like it, yes

I do that all the time - but I don't usually stop. Somehow if my son is with me (he's 6) that makes it acceptable in my mind

 

[The Sad Punk]

I haven't been here in a week, so upon returning I'm delighted to see that the 1 trick of a tiny belly banner ad that is so incessant around here has seen a noticeable upgrade. No longer does our blonde portly-to-slim heroine lie strangely with an arm straight down her side, she rests in a far more provocative way, a curious indication that lust and promiscuity knows no boundaries within mere Body Mass Index. Perhaps a more fantastic improvement still is the use of cell shading - suddenly, we can enjoy this remarkable piece of advertising technology in stunning 3D, regardless of whether we want to lose 5 kilos or 50. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it - the royal blue arrow remains as sharp as ever, but the sheen of blurry resizing has given it a contrast that dictates humanity as perfectly as ever told before - what is familiar, and what is unknown? A wonderful approach of universality in a dietary themed promotion. Bravo!

[MsPurrl]

I went to see the movie "Leap Year" for the second time today, just so I could see Ireland on the big screen.

 

[Purplereign]

in my excitement at having my little abode all to myself I blabbed to the world and have now got a bunch of people coming over to 'keep me company' . . . is it wrong that I would actually really rather be . . . all by myself . . . . there's a song in there somewhere

 

[Purplereign]

^ at the risk of 'spamming the thread' it would appear that sometimes the gods do listen . . . one friend has fallen off due to sick kiddie, another cuz she's completely wiped herself at lunch today and is errrrr, legless ( ), and another cuz she didn't realise the kids were gone to and doesn't want to burden me with hers whilst mine are away . . . . . . look out lounge, dvd and voddy here I come

 

[Galeongirl]

I finally wrote a note to my boss that I'm not going to work two days in teh weekend anymore. Finally I'm having some rest inbetween uni and work. My body's tired, I'm at the end of my reserves..
