Share a thought or two here you can't / won't tell anybody else.....

Mine: I dislike most of the people around me, I don't think they are nice, well-meaning people. Mean? Perhaps. :(

I wish I could just leave my job and either act/write/be creative in some way. :)

I settled for too little/too early, that's really why I feel so frustrated. My own frigging fault. :(

:)

:D

Except for the igauna.

Or at least Northern Europe. Oh crap. I said too much.

when you risk frostbite and not getting your Xmas shopping or baking done. Yeah, whatever. :eyes: :evilgrin:

Oh wait, everyone around me already knows that.

There are some really judgemental people trolling the boards. I have a JUICY one, but I'll save it. ;)

:evilgrin: I won't pass judgement. :)

I'm intrigued, how juicy is it? ;)

Biblical-juicy. Thou-shalt-NOT juicy.

But I have the soul of a poet; I don't need the flames.

So tell tell tell!

It was totally premeditated; we worked out the details in IM beforehand, and we're neither of us pretending it just "happened."

How's that?

One of you may end up falling in love, and then it will SUCK, especially if it's you.
The fact that she is your boss may also be a big problem depending on how it ends/if you're found out.


Until then, consenting adults and all that--I imagine you're not the married one, and she's the one with some thinking to do.

She's married, the possibility of a problem exists, but we discussed it and proceeded anyway.

Love is not a consideration.Trust me on this.

Good call, though. ;)

about the pizza delivery guy.

And a very spicy pepperoni? :evilgrin:

snort. :)

:D

But I suspect I'm just acting out.

posting frivolous thoughts. ;)

so start posting some more. :evilgrin: ;)

Watch out!

Things are bigger in Texas, no?...get motoring, buddy.... :) :evilgrin:

middle picture! I had a cat that looked like that once but my mother gave it away when I was at school without telling me. Just came home and no cat. :(

I've had things like that happen as a kid, too. :(

I'm so sorry for you. :(

happened to you to.

But now, I have a great Shi-tzu that looks like an ewok and he has a pile of toys two feet high. He's the absolute love of my life.


And he would looooove your cats. He likes cats better than dogs. He would want to cuddle them or just be near them. He's so funny.

but they sure are cute aren't they? :D

Ewoks are pretty cute, so your pup must be as well. heh heh. :)

:evilgrin:

A boring person would not have a sliver of broken coffee-maker glass stuck in their heel right now! ;-)

an ailing lioness' face!

They are Democrats, so it has nothing to do with politics. My father is such a nice man at times and extremely intelligent, but so socially inept that he can't seem to relate to other human beings. My mom is just passive aggressive, judgmental, and rather cruel, but she thinks she's the biggest sweetheart in the universe as well as the proverbial victim of everyone else. I am civil now and little more. Their view is that there's something wrong with me because I no longer invite them for holidays. The problem was that me, with all the little kids (and for years the semi-screwed up husband who worked awful hours) had to do all the cooking, cleaning, prep work, and they would come over and complain without lifting a finger. Finally, I said, "Unless there's some better behavior and reciprocation here, I can't continue this." In their view, that means I am the one with the problem. :eyes:

People who have loving families are very lucky and those people never seem to understand what this is like. I don't have that and it certainly isn't my choice. I have tried for years, but sometimes, a person gets to a point where they know there's nothing more they can do. It's a shame because they are the ones who miss out more than I do.

edit: grammar

I had a parents that perpetuated unspeakable abuse and would pretend they were "good parents" in public. But my mother took it a step further where she wanted us to pretend even to ourselves that she was this great mom all the while she would do these heinous things. It's quite common for perpetrators, especially narcissistic perpetrators to play the victim. They act shamelessly and in order to keep doing so they see themselves as the victim in their own minds. It's how they keep from being accountable for their behavior.

I'm proud of you for having boundaries. That takes guts! If you ever need to talk feel free to pm me!

:hug:

The past few years in my life have been entirely about defining my boundaries and seeing myself in a better light. I really am a person blessed with many things within myself. It's just that for years my family as well as my soon-to-be ex-husband frequently pointed out to me only that which were flaws, much of which aren't really flaws but levels of personal strength (even positive attributes) that they perceived as threatening to them in some way. I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm am far stronger, more intelligent, and more of many things that I gave myself credit for many years. I no longer live my life based of some else's skewed definitions of me or my own fears. It's not always easy, but I am far more at peace within myself.

Sounds like you know what you want. :D :thumbsup: I find so many good, smart people like you have always been too hard on themselves.

Give yourself credit, you have earned it. :)

it's better than nothing - it's depressing to stifle your creative side :hug:

My thoughts:

I hate wishing away the weeks at work - I need to find a new job that I am passionate about.

I also wish life were not so monitarily oriented

I love to flirt...sometimes it gets me in trouble ;)

I gave up a few years ago, went through some bad times and depression set in.
I'll start taking those baby steps, if I really want to be happy I have to branch out and discover life a little more. (hope I'm not sounding too hokey. hahaha) :)

My brother is an idiot.

I am hopelessly unemployed (at least until I finish school).

For the time being, I'm stuck living in the asshole of the armpit of Texas.

So there! I feel better now - sorta.

On the bright side, the weather is nice today, and I'm listening to some good music. :)

Trust me, I am.

I'm a pretty good parent though--and that's not as comforting as you'd think.

The good news is that I may not always be a miserable failure.

All right!

My career imploded four years ago (yes 2000, maybe one reason I hate ** so much: bad association with that year) and I've been basically treading water ever since. My partner is doing well enough for both of us, so I don't whine out loud... but I'm beginning to get... desperate. :(

Bleah.

Thanks for the post!

I have thoughts and feelings, too. Most of which are kinda stalker-ish and perverted, but I digress...

:D

:spank:

how richly I deserve a spanking right now! There's EEEEEVIL afoot, Sarahbelle, and I'm representing my share of it like a Jewish attorney represents a rap star.

:scared:

Have fun I guess. :hi:

:hi:

Psst: we won't tell anybody - we promise

Corrupting the sweet and innocent, then innocently sweetening the corrupt, with maple syrup, and not really at all innocently.

:D

or just the syrup?

Butt I DO love some syrup on my sausage links!

to a priest or something? :P

I'm too old for most of them. :P

and it's a 'No Pets' place.

:evilgrin:

Hi Miss Hottie :hi:

i've never had a dog since I was on my own. I have to pick up her 'stuff'

Breakin' the law! Breakin' the law! :headbang:

She's curled up next to me on the sofa. And who could resist a Toto dog?

for putting "Africa" and "Roseanna" on the jukebox in my head. Oy. I need a lobotomy.

BTW - can I tell you just how disappointed I am that you've shared a picture with Miss Jimmy and not with me? I thought we were closer than that, with the china pattern picked out and all. <pout>

but my highspeed has turned into dial-up, apparently

JimmyJazz can forward it. I have to make calls to C*****t :grr:

I realized that my ex-girlfiend was a man trap.

I saw it before we started, but somehow I lost all misgivings and jumped right in anyway. I thought it would be different with me somehow.

I still love her, and I'm heartbroken to lose her.

Either I'm insane, or she's really, really special.

Give the points. :D

Little known fact. Well, maybe not so little known after all.

You are a much-loved, much valued member of DU. I've seen it.

Not by ME, of course. Homos give me the freeps.

I'm just saying.

or find a workshop locally. It is never too late to pursue some creativity in your life.

my thought...I'm in love with a man who will never be what I want him to be, yet I can't face it and let him go. I've never really been in this situation and it's really killing me. When he's good he's very, very good but...
