Snow.

Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you. I don't know why my father went into work today, but I have feeling he's stuck and I can't shovel on my own. I almost collapsed outside. He refuses to ask the neighbor to borrow his snow blower. Our neighbor is really nice. He'd let us. I told him to pay him a bit of money because it's a very expensive snow blower. The bulkhead is frozen shut so we can't get ours out and it's on it's last leg as it is.

I shoveled a path from our driveway to the steps. Shoveled those out too and cleared the bulkhead. My brother can't get here either due to being stuck. To at least get my fathers car out would be quite the accomplishment.

Bah, I know I shouldn't whine about this crap, but I need to get it off my shoulder.

You think that's bad. I did a swap of items with someone in a boutique-perfume group. She sent her package two days before I managed to get mine, the post orifice decided to send mine on a walking tour of the US while hers went straight there. I have a tracking number and it went all the way to Iowa and back and is still 'in transit' and has been since Saturday.

It makes me wonder if they put it on a horse cart.

lol that reminds me of my crunchyroll package from the US that took a 5 day holiday in NZ's North island before it was sent onto Melbourne and then to Perth!!

Rant: Wow changing your name after your married is the biggest PITA. I had to get a new passport because our Japan tickets are booked in my new name so the passport I only got renewed 2 years ago had to be redone from scratch! Also they wouldn't accept the commonwealth marriage certificate I had to go pay $44 for the registry of births, deaths and marriages one and its only by luck i work in the same dept/building so I could get it quick (none of this they tell you on the passport website btw) after being told "oh don't worry you get a new one for free!" free my butt. All they tell you is as long as your passport has a year left and you have your certificate that ALL YOU NEED. Also since you do it from scratch you have to pay for a new photo as well so all up its $60 for my "free" passport. Yep thanks.

Voluntary work is enjoyable, helpful and morally rewarding.

Until a 50-year-old balding guy with crooked teeth comes up and starts flirting with you.

That awkward moment when.....

Just smile and long as he doesn't touch you, it should be relatively harmless.

Yeah he was, but he is also friends with the staff I was working with today so they took it as a joke - which it likely was. I laughed along but inside I was incredibly uncomfortable with the situation :/

I understand. I'd probably be uncomfortable at first, but then shrug it off later.

What the actual fuck was that dream I had last night? Why do we have to have such horrid dreams based on some of our worst fears? I woke up shaking and in tears... then went back to sleep and the dream CONTINUED. Why the fuck does that happen?

Well depending on your beliefs, your subconscious might be trying to tell you of something. I'd recommend looking the dream up specifically in a dream dictionary.

Scientifically speaking, your brain pulls thoughts from your sub conscious in order to keep you occupied while it process all the information from that day. People have dreams constantly, they just usually don't remember them. I have some trippy ass dreams myself. Dreams usually consists of fears and such because that's usually something from your sub conscious. I've also heard that the last thing you think before you fall asleep will be in your dreams, but I don't think that's been proven yet? I'm majoring in Biology so I'm not too educated on the Psychological sciences

Long story short, our brains like sending us on trippy times.

That concept freaks me out more than anything else to be honest, mainly because I've had dreams on the exact same subject multiple times in the past. They always get me, and get me good.

You'd think that an art site that's primary focus is to allow people to show off their art, would let people upload their art...Nope! DA you are being an idiot again...guess I'll have to re-try in a few hours and see if it's behaving itself then...

Feeling a little sentimental and noted on my Facebook status that I'm really missing my mum and cats right now.

Realised about 10 minutes later I made no mention of my sister. Wow. I feel bad but... I never really miss her at all. We barely talk and we have nothing in common. :/ She's going through her teenage phase (god I hope it's a phase...) where she wants nothing to do with anyone or anything so whenever I'm home I will never see her anyway. Feel bad for making no mention of her, but... it's true.

I know you hate your current situation. I know you're getting depressed about hardly being able to pay your bills and not getting anywhere in your life. I know you're starting to drown your sorrows in whiskey. So let me help you. Listen to what I have to say instead of getting all pissed off at me and saying I'm like your mother.
You're just sitting there and not taking any steps towards making your life better. You wont even go to drop off a resume at a place you want to work at because you've "already put in online". Youre not going to get anywhere if you sit on your butt. Trust me, I know. I haven't got anywhere yet by doing the same.
I know I'm in the same money situation as you, if not worse. But we're not talking about me right now. I know I'm lazy as shit, but we're not talking about me right now. I can wait. Right now, my main concern is having you get in a good spot so you're no longer depressed. But you wont let me help. You wont let me talk without poofing into WoW to go goof around with your friends while I've been waiting for your reply for over an hour to my concerns.
I love you with all my heart and I want to start a life with you. But right now, I feel like I want to throw in the towel and go die somewhere. It's killing me seeing you like this knowing you wont do anything about it and wont listen to my feelings or suggestions. How am I supposed to comfort you through your hard times if you just don't give a shit about anything I have to say?

I feel terrible for wanting to give up. I feel like I'm the biggest shitbag on the face of the planet. The scum of the earth. I don't want to break anything off, and I don't think this will cause anything like that... But.. My god does this fucking hurt. You not caring about yourself and letting yourself falling into such a terrible depression isn't just hurting you.. It's destroying me. I don't know how much more I can take.

The worst thing I had happen to a package was my dwarf shrimps going to Virginia. Which were being shipped from California to Texas. About half were DoA. :( Fortunately, the others made it and I had a big ole tank 'o shrimp.

I hate being restless and unproductive at the same time. Giving up soda has made me fidgety and weird. I need to sell stuff so I can go out with a friend and not sink into depression. Arghlebarghle.
