Yes, and that's still one of my favourite whoops moments.

Last time we had an eclipse here, we put a piece of glass to a candle, let the glass blacken. It worked, no one's eye sight deteriorated.

That's so cool! Maybe you could try that Moon :f-mew:

@Sternum: Yup they don't work.

@Lav that is quite ingenious doing it that way.

I think, however that I shall not look up at all.
I will just enjoy the darkness at day :)

Get one of those visor hats with a dark panel thing. Maybe?

Also, my life went to hell... I feel like complaining about a friend who was being immature were the good old days, and I only whined about that two-three days ago.

I have less and less friends everyday.
Most people just suck, or maybe its just that they are living their own lives and don't care the effect on the people around them?
I have stopped texting and liking shit on facebook. If I need facebook to find out about your life then you are not my friend.

You're right. I remember asking friends to go out and do something, and getting told "Why? We can talk on Facebook."

Well, anyway, my parents are fighting, and it's huge this time.

*huggles both Moon and Lav*

I have 3 good friends and although we're far away from each other, I feel like we're a good support for each other.

I'm sorry, Lav :p-frown: I hope it gets better. I'm glad I'm out of the house and at college even if being at home was better for my health, because although my parents didn't fight the rest of the family was another story. >.>

*hugs Sternum* thank you


I'm sorry I hate when parents fight, I wish parents could get along foreverand never make their kids nervous when they fight.

IKR it gives one such a horrible insecure feeling when they fight.

See, my mother found out some things my father's been doing for... over a decade, and knowing her, she's waiting for the right moment. The air is thick as cake.

That's horrible :p-frown:
I don't know what's worse, the waiting for shit to hit the fan or the shit hitting the fan

...or stirring the shit over and over again so it stinks up everything and everyone involved or near the shit!

@Lav hang in there. We are here for you.

That's a lot of shit talk.

My mother always said, never stir a pile of shit, it just starts to smell again! hahaha
she was so funny.

My grandmother used to say "The more you touch shit, the worse it stinks." Also she used to call people "A shit's brother."

Your grandmother and my mother sound like the same person! hahaha

Well, I'm officially in hell. Hell looks like two... old people fighting. Also, hell looks a lot like Jersey Shore, too.

hahaha I know its not funny, but the way you said it, pretty clever.
Jersey Shore (ugh) what a crazy, nasty show.

Believe me, I'm always going to make jokes. The day I can't vent through humour is the day I'm not alive.

Well then keep venting with humor. Because staying alive is a good thing, bad times eventually end. Keep your chin up!

Can I keep all three of my chins up?

keep them all up :)
Guess what, I leave for Maine on Friday till next Thursday.
I'm going to try to find some sea glass, that shit is so hard to find.

Thank you, plastic, for ruining another thing.
My mother told me of all the pretty sea glass she used to find; blue, red, purple, all kinds of greens. Nowadays we have green, a blue-ish clear and a dark brown or dark yellow. I hope you have fun.

As for me, I'm finding sea shells, since I go to the beach each day now, but this really amazing beach that had so many varieties of clams is basically dead. Either the sea changed or they exterminated them, so it's really sad.

It's still very tense at my house, they're either fighting or seemingly getting along, while someone's trying to start a fight with snide remarks, and I let a really negative, cumbersome person back in my life. If he doesn't like something you do, instead of.. I don't know, asking nicely and talking to you about it, he'll pick you apart until you feel bare. I'll have to find my way out of that one. Again.

Oh, and I've discovered this "community" I've been hanging around is really.. not for me. They're basically shallow, nasty, mean, cliquey people, and it doesn't end there. I don't want to say more because it's insanely disgusting. Oh well. That's a full update.

Oh geez! You have got to ONLY be with people that validate you, that care for you and about you. You are more than worthy of being treated with kindness.
Bottom line is that loneliness is brought on not by being alone, but by feeling/knowing that you are not cared about.

You can do this Lav. Love yourself so much that you only accept the best in your life. Now the parent thing...bummer is all I can say.

I have so many seashells! and rocks and minerals. Hey you should wear or carry a piece of rose quartz, Sleep with one too!

This fellow assumes he has every right to modify my behaviour, but no matter what you say, he can only muster an 'ok,' and thinks that's perfectly fine. Really toxic. You're absolutely right, it's why 'alone' and 'lonely' aren't synonyms.

I know, I can't fix them or their relationship, I can only... look after myself.

I have found a huge sea snail, one I've only seen once before. I don't know if it's simply one of the usual reaching adulthood or actually a different species. I have several pieces of rose quartz right by my bed. One's really pretty, it's a star rose quartz.

I remember telling you way back when we met (was it on Ernya) that you needed rose quartz! <3

A friend told me a long time ago: Give advice if you must, just don't get attached to the outcome. Good advice,right?

Leave tomorrow morning, can't wait to smell that rotting sea flesh :)

I think the rose quartz helped. I have a much better relationship with myself, and I'm really much more comfortable being single. Each time someone wants to treat me like I have a problem or a disease I say "I'm single and fabulous!" Or when someone starts bragging "I can get any man I want, I can have as many boyfriends as I want." I like to say "Everyone loves the bargain bin."

I get so many people crying to me about their problems, but you give them advice, they get mad. All I do is shrug and walk away.

I bet you'll have a wonderful time. Rotting sea flesh, though?

I'm comfortable being single until I fall for someone, and then it sucks because it's always one-sided lol.

Yeah they don't want advice or even a different perspective, most of the time they just want to whine >.>

Moonshadow- what item is the dude in your avi from? Men in pink suits, amirite

@Lav: I came back already and surprisingly I did not walk on the beach much nor collect any shells, there weren't many anyway. I did pick up a beautiful orange rock one night, but when it dried it was just a plain dull rock, (this has happened to me before!)

I rarely give advice anymore I don't much care about trying to solve people's problems. I sometimes give advice but I try not to become attached to the outcome. I really have a small group of friends that I keep in their place, and they love knowing where they stand with me.

Being alone can suck,but being in bad company is worse.

@ Sternum: The item is called Albert and it was an event item at one point.

I've found quite a little hoard of shells so far. I collected little bits of beach glass, pretty rocks and I think there's some.. quartz or some brownish mineral today. It was too cold in the sea, and hot outside, so I compromised and sat at the edge, collecting rocks. You know, the sea is changing here.. There are these really wiggly, fast star fish that are now literally under every rock, and I'm finding a lot of nudibranches, which are new. I found one that was bright yellow, sky blue, white and a darker, purply blue. The other day I found 30 cents, too.

@Lav I have been buying calcite like crazy. All colors of it are an amazing stone with great properties. I got orange, red, white, blue, green, yellow/gold. The blue ones were very cheap. I am going to place pieces all over the house.
I have been so tired at night I have not logged on here.

How are you doin? You are so lucky to live near the sea.

I found a piece of blue beach glass, and I'm still excited about it. I'm trying to ignore or feel better about my... parents' behaviour, and, yes, they're still at it. That's all.

I have never found sea glass :(

Sorry about your parents, that sucks, I went through that at one point with my parents.

It's been a month now. It's fine, they never really got along. I'm enjoying my beach time, and that's all I'm worried about.

Though I'm pretty disappointed in a lot of my "friends." Basically, I needed 5 literal minutes to talk about things, and instead I lost a lot of "friends." People I've listened to and such. I'm going to be grumpy and bitter soon.

People just totally suck!
They are users, totally, I don't even text my "friends" anymore.
If they want to contact me they know where I am, and guess what since I've stopped texting no one has bothered texting me. I'm totally fine with it.
I just show up when I know we all get together, have a good time, go home and just do it again.

I understand how that is. When someone tells me "I've missed you." my response is "Why? I'm pretty available." To be honest, I realised this circle of people has a lot of people who do drugs and drink a lot, and... essentially, they're really not like me. Honestly, I would've been better off with this situation if I never got into that group.

I have been largely absent from Trisphee, so tired at night I've just been going to sleep.

Yeah, people are so totally self-absorbed, I don't think they mean to be cruel for the most part, I just think they are so absorbed in their own lives and/or their family's life.

I think I might have told you that I no longer call or text or try to get in touch with any of the people I know. I figure if they want to talk to me they can reach out to me and if they don't then oh well, I'm ready to move on too.

I'm really becoming that way, too. Though.. is it possible that some people become like that because they get hurt by the ones that are naturally like that? Seems like some sort of vicious cycle.

Though I have good news. I found one of my best friends on Facebook. We lost touch because her life got so messy that she had to disappear. I rather easily give up on people, either when they vanish or don't keep in touch, but I always had a 'She'll be back' feeling. Oh, and that awful person gave up on me when I refused to succumb to his bullying.

you two can be my friends? :3

Awwww Glitch you are sweet.
Lav and I have "friend issues as you can tell.

I give up on people easily too. I try not to invest myself in people for the most part. They start complaining to me how they need money for this, for that, for their babies, just to set me up to borrow money which they never pay. I feel I am working my way toward insuring my integrity, while dealing with people. I am hoping to make better friends.

I am glad you have found your old friend. Reconnecting with old friends doesn't seem to work for me. Hope it works for you. <3
