Same here. I'd get twenty to life.
So I go down to the laundry room
eek and start the washer going. Forty minutes later, I go back down to put my stuff in the dryer and the flippin' washer is flashing an "out of order" notice. It couldn't have mentioned this before it stole my buck-sixty-five? Second time this has happened. :kickingmyself: Unplugged it, waited, started it again, hoping for the best (it worked last time, but :idontknow
. I'm also hoping the Easter Bunny will bring me a nice new house so I can split this rat-trap once and for all—and my own freaking laundry room. Hell ain't so big. It's just 750 square feet, rented by the month. :crying:
ETA:
All right, upon sober reflection, I must admit that my experience pales next to the indignity Odo is suffering at the moment. (My sympathies, sir, and I wish you a speedy resolution and recovery.) It's just been going on for so long—years and years—with no end in sight outside the realm of fantasy. The laundry thing, the insurance thing, the cable thing, the case of shingles (painful, very painful) I got from the stress of the cable thing, et cetera, and so forth, and on and on and on. A guy can get a little frustrated with a system that doesn't seem to understand or care that cliff-dwellers are people too.

Poem for my friend who just died
-------------------------------------------------
I saw you there in the casket,
It didn't look like you,
Your face was never that swollen and pale,
Your hands never looked like that,
Your hair was never that gray when you were alive,
We all knew this day was coming,
But I thought in maybe like 5 years,
I don't feel that you ever really liked life all that much,
I could be wrong,
These kind of days always make me think that life should be lived to the fullest,
"Each day a gift" kind of crap,
Then I come home and turn on the screen,
Because there is nothing else to do,
I think you would totally understand that,
Your demons were just a different flavor though,
I hope the food up there is not bland.

Maybe someday, you'll stumble along in my path.
Hell, maybe you already have.

According to my bathroom mirror, I look exactly like I just staggered out into the daylight after thirty years in the Bastille, only fatter.
I changed the radio station at work from 70's/80's to a rock station. I work in my own area, so it wasn't like I was being inconsiderate (I was told I can listen to what I want) and now I feel like everyone views me differently - negatively. It's not as heavy as what I really like (I think that would scare them lol). They play Metallica, NIN, Rob Zombie, Ozzy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins etc. which, in my opinion, isn't bad. My boss came up to me today and asked if what I Iisten to ever gives me a headache and that it makes her feel angsty. Initially I was amused because Green Day is nothing compared to The Faceless or Black Dahlia Murder, but then, as it settled in, it just made me feel bad about myself - like there's something wrong with me for liking what I do

I think one of the main reasons why I get up so late is because my apartment is always full of people lately. It already bothers me when it's just my grandma and maid, and nowadays it's those two, plus my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins, and a nurse (not all simultaneously; right now they're all here except the nurse for example). I feel like I can only be truly isolated from them while I'm in bed, so I stay there as long as possible (sleeping and waiting for everyone to leave) and end up getting up at 1pm when I'd rather get up at 10am. They're all still here at 1pm, but I can't really stay in bed any longer at that point.
I also avoid eating because that means going to the kitchen and passing by everyone, so I pretty much starve for a couple of hours after getting up. On top of that, my aunt and cousin are always smoking indoors and that really bothers me as well, I've started having more breathing issues lately and I'm sure that's the reason why.
There are only two options: either my mum decides that we can't have grandma here any longer (which in my opinion would be the best course of action for everyone involved), or I try to find a part-time job and rent an apartment for myself.

Ah understand how ye feel, Sarah. But ye shouldnae huv tae justify yer taste in music to anybuddy, really. Like what you like.
By that token, there must be summit wrong with me cuz I like most of those bands you mentioned along with Aphex Twin, Michelle Branch, Gerry Rafferty and the Backstreet Boys. Aye, definitely f***in' weird. Cannae go from heavy metal, to techno, folk and pop... Naw! That's just no oan is it?
Oh, hold on there... Ye made a grammatical error with this sentence. You forgot to put the words "like" and "c***s" before and after the word "boring". :bigsmile:

Actually I don't see myself getting a part time job this year, since I'm doing a master's degree and I don't have that much free time. My mum paid my sister's rent when she was abroad for a couple of years, so she'll probably help me with mine if we decide that the best solution is for me to leave.
If I just let things take their course things will only change (for the better) after I, my mum or my grandma get hospitalised. Right now it's just a race to see who goes down first.

I love how every time I feel like a ticking time bomb, no one is available to help ease my frantic mind.

Yes, this. No one around or not the right person, so the countdown goes on.
I miss having a sister. Things have not been right. Two years today. :sad:
