I totally went to prom by myself when I was a senior

I had a blast. We actually went as a group, but I was the only single one.

I also hate those party pyramid schemes. I have a friend who cycles through all of them. ALL OF THEM. Right now she's selling some sort of gimmicky body wrap. Ugh. I JUST WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU AND GET DRUNK. I DON'T WANT TO BE SOLD THINGS AT THIS PARTY. I JUST WANT TO DRINK AND GET ROWDY AND HAVE A SLEEPOVER.

Today is not my day. First the thing with Roxie, which led me to listening to Mayday Parade to try and calm down... And which two songs come on right after the other? "Stay" and "The Memory". HELLO, SADDEST SONGS!

And now my laptop is throwing a fit and not starting up. I just wanted to watch some Merlin

I've got to show the house on Saturday and I just don't wanna shovel and clean right now. I know I'm whining, but my back hurts again and i think i dislocated a rib again and idk. I am way too stressed and I feel like this house will never get clean enough, even though its not even bad, since I just cleaned the other day.

I know it sucks. I was in the same boat four years ago - and my school was hardcore about "prom asking." It was a bit of a pride/ego thing for the guys to have the biggest "asking" of sorts...

I vividly remember sitting there, having to smile and laugh and act excited as many of my friends got asked to prom via showy displays of flowers or banners or serenades (yes, it was a weird, quite nerdy school). I didn't end up getting asked to prom. I had a severely limited number of male friends at the time and no boyfriend. At the time it was upsetting and frustrating. What made it even more upsetting and frustrating was having to put on a happy face for my friends. I can totally relate.

But you know what? I went to prom anyway. I found a handful of friends - some of whom had dates, some of whom didn't - and we went out to dinner and attended the dance. I had a great time - honestly, I probably had a better time dancing with my friends than those girls who went with guys that they didn't know too well.

And four years later - having never dated at all in high school - I have a fantastic boyfriend who I wouldn't trade for the world.

Things have a way of working out. I know it sucks now, but if you grin and bear it, you'll get through. And you never know what the next few years will bring

My senior year, I totally went with a guy whom I didn't even really like just so I could have a date. (Well, I liked him as a friend well enough, but at this point he wanted a relationship and I didn't so everything was just...awkward.) I would have much rather have gone single than with someone who was "meh" on my radar. I ended up hanging out with my friends more so than my date, which was probably really bad of me...

And don't feel like whether you have a date to prom is foreshadowing your future. I was never in a relationship through high school or college (went out on a few dates, but I didn't feel the connection) and then Michael came along. I think my parents about fell over from shock when I brought him home. I asked my mom if she thought I was going to be the first of her kids to get married and she said, "Actually, no. I never thought it would happen." LOL (I honestly didn't either.)

OH MY GOD PLEASE JUST LEARN TO SCIENCE BEFORE SPOUTING OFF ON FACEBOOK LIKE YOU KNOW THINGS!!!! Vaccinating your dog does NOT turn your dog into a carrier for the diseases you vaccinated against!

But, like... science is hard.

Wow...just...wow, does this person think that we are carriers for things we are vaccinated against as well?

The flu vaccine totally gives you the flu you know.

SCIENCE.

I'm kicking myself for not getting my driver's license at 16/17 like any other normal human being. I just got offered an awesome internship...but I need three years of driving experience.

Saeleofu said:

Sigh.

Beanie said:

Well, ya, of course.

Beanie · Mar 7, 2014

Seriously, I never realized how little people understand about science - like basic scientific concepts - until recently. Maybe it's just because I've been hanging out with all these people with their MS and MA or PhD and an actual rocket scientist or something, so the contrast is suddenly like whoa. But WOW PEOPLE. Did you not take ANY science courses? EVER??

The other one... algebra! IT'S NOT MAGIC. IT'S ALGEBRA. WHAT.

I made the mistake of mentioning applying at an out-of-state zoo to my mother. And she threw a fit. Again. Because I can't afford to move and I'm too stupid to live on my own. **** YOU.

The school I graduated from produces dozens and dozens of graduates ready to be zookeepers each year. The local zoos can only hold so many. I WILL be moving regardless of where I get a job, because I sure as hell am NOT staying in the house. I need a job, so I can't afford to NOT move, either.

My sister in law and your mom have a lot in common! My niece wanted to be an EMT, her mom said no I won't help you do that be a nurse so you can come back to this town and work here. The town has a total of 2-3 full time nurses, all have worked there for 15+ years! And my niece wouldn't say eff you I wanna do this, so now she's half way through her second year and miserable, because it's not what she wants. Do what you want!

I hope I don't make that mistake with my own kid.

I walked out the door this morning to be greeted by the 2 neighbor dogs. Lovely. The pit wasn't wearing a collar, so I couldn't call his owner (older retired man) and had to settle for leaving a VM for the lady that owns the grey. Hudsons red ball that he loves, now has a giant hole in it from pit and the greyhound stole another toy of his. I know this because I took the one toy away from the pit and hid it in the barn as I was going to my car. The dang dog then ran circles around my car as I backed out of the barn, drove down the driveway, then down the road. I know the grey stole the other toy because he took of running down the road with it in his mouth. I called up the husband (he was working from home because he wasn't feeling well) and said that the two dogs came back this way after I got out and the grey still had the toy.

Seriously people. I do not want to call you all the dang time to come get your dogs. It is your responsibility to contain them, please do so. Neither of them have any respect for cars. The pit, obviously running in circles around my moving car and I have seen the grey almost get hit more times than I can count.

Frustrated

*blackrose · Mar 7, 2014

Walking out and not talking to me after something unexpected happens does not make the situation any better...in fact, it makes it worse. *sigh* And I'm being petty and not being the first to budge, which also doesn't help.

Youtube keeps giving me horror movie commercials that are like 4-5 minutes long between my songs. I don't like it. And I can't scroll up to click to skip it because I'm scared. LOL

At least it's not the poo-pouri commercials or whatever. I was getting those constantly.

Just threw up in the bathroom at work. Feeling really nauseous and shaky. ****.

Accidentally threw up in the sink after while washing my face. That was a bitch to clean.

Never having pizza from sketchy places my coworkers order from again. I'm so lucky it was just one piece.

I found our forever alone club song.
