Pre-Thanksgiving WDT...

perhaps you missed this.....(yes, I called her twice and she didn't pick up).

and like I said, now I don't WANT to talk necessarily because it will turn into a thing and I don't want to do that right before I start my new job.

 

This.

When you have a certain type of mother, confiding in her that she's done something to hurt your feelings is the absolute worst thing you can do. She'll launch into a poor-me list, giving you a litany of excuses as to why she was entirely justified in her course of action and how taxing each of those reasons were to her. Actually, you know what? She was just so busy and exhausted and worn down because of [reasons] that you're a fucking horrible human being for even daring to ask her why she couldn'tve chosen a different course of behavior for a particular event. Seriously, how fucking dare you. The fact that you even brought it up means that you're selfish, don't care about her feeeeeeelings, and let's be honest: you've always been an unreasonable crybaby. Even as a child. And then the phone conversation ends up with you apologizing to her because your feelings were hurt.

No, the best thing to do with this sort of mom is go on the offensive (that is, if you decide that confronting her is even worthwhile at this point). Answer the phone in your frostiest tone and mimic the excessive butthurt that she's dished out to you over the past few decades. Fake it if you have to.

Nothing worthwhile will be accomplished, but there is a slim possibility that you'll get a begrudging half-apology (I'm sorry that you feel hurt!). If that's worth it to you, then that's what I would recommend. Personally, I just avoid the hell out of my mom.

 

I think Pinkcup and I have the same mother. Anyway, I will stop whining about it and instead focus my efforts on watching my fantasy team disappoint me.

So tell me TiBettes, are we scheduled for our monthly soon because I am entirely more emotional than I normally am

 

I have no fantasy team to dissapoint me. And college football is amazing. I suggest you watch that. My alma mater sucked it up big time in the SEC but I was expecting that. The team I was born and raised with however, well their season was just dandy. Bring on January 7th.

 

I just went 10 hours without going to a bathroom.

Unrelated, I now know how a champagne bottle feels when it's being opened.

 

If Facebook is any indication, that Notre Dame bandwagon is about to collapse. People who have never mentioned football, let alone college football, in their lives are suddenly bragging about how amazing their team is. This is why I hate Notre Dame.

 

I've seen more Notre Dame "fans" lately than I ever have before. I can't go to the liquor store without seeing Notre Dame shit. This is in a college town with a top-25 team. I can only imagine what it's like elsewhere in the country. I have classes with a few Notre Dame alums and they are just as pissed, if not more so, than I am about the bandwagon fans.

 

Today or tomorrow, hopefully. I'm a bit of a wreck myself. I cried watching Mr. Popper's Penguins with my kids. What the fuck?

 

Yeah, Rise of the Guardians destroyed me last night. I just have entirely too many feelings lately.

 

And I am deeply depressed about my running back situation. By the way my heart sunk when Parmele was taken out injured, you would have thought he was my best friend.

And reason number whatever why I would never give up facebook.....comments like this about being pissed that their team is playing too well.... "Will some please tell the broncos they are playing a 1-9 team. We, the Chiefs fan, are striving for the 1St pick, and a new coach and gm. Get off your ass and play."

As far as college ball goes, I have an ACC alma mater and am in Big 12 territory. I guess I could jump on the K-State bandwagon. And be smug because MU left and now they won't go to a bowl game (neener neener)

 

Mya there is absolutely no reason to be hateful!

 

You know sometimes you think "There can be NOBODY on earth stupider than this person?"

Well, there can be NOBODY ON THIS EARTH STUPIDER THAN THIS WOMAN. Sit down before you play this:

 

Yea, that. Mom called earlier to find out how my meeting with the formerly future defunct now resurrected Mrs. Nitwit went and, although things went great; I just let it ring.

Some music for Mya:



That said, can anyone pm me or post their current favorite song for the further melting of hearts?

 

So despite the goings-on of the last week or so I feel like I'm doing pretty well in life. I should come out of this term with a 3.5 gpa, I'm getting relevant work experience through my school's finance group, I started hitting the gym again, and I've made a few new friends.
Women are obviously the sore spot in the picture, I guess my stache isn't helping.

Bridge girl made it clear that our tryst, however pleasurable was not going to happen again. Her boyfriend is back in town, but "it's totally cool because they're in an open relationship". I laughed pretty hard when she told me that one.

tl/dr: Ex threw a beer in my face last night, kinda felt like a bad person, now feels less bad.

 

I just watched Magic Mike and have mixed emotions about the experience.

 

Is anyone else looking forward to going back to work tomorrow? I'm so bored the highlight of my day was juicing enough lemons to produce a full gallon of lemon juice.

I need to yell at someone.

 

Squeezing lemons? Really?

You could have at least spent that time masturbating.

Dude.
