"What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

[Sakura Leic]

I'm starting to wonder if I don't like your Dad more than I don't like your Mom now.

What a hypocritical demeaning jerkass.

I mean why wouldn't you tell your [tornado fang]ing Mom about Mammaw's death?!  Why is that something to criticize?!

[Dr. Wily II]

I'm guessing Mammaw is dad's mum? Might explain a tiny bit. Still ridiculous though. *hugs Quickie*

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah, I think Mammaw is her Dad's Mom, but that's not an excuse.

[Quickman]

Mammaw is my dad's mom.

Dad slapped together the smallest funeral and viewing as possible.  An hour for the viewing.  An hour for the service.  An hour for the burial. 

My grandpa's viewing lasted two days.  Dad is trying to get Mammaw in the ground as soon as possible with as little attention as possible. Dad is trying to keep everyone away.  He's refusing to speak to anyone and I've been playing messenger and catching all sorts of hell for it.

[Dr. Wily II]

... That's just all sorts of wrong.
Your Mammaw should still be treated with dignity even in death.
I... Really am at a loss of words for the behavior of your dad... *hugs*

[Quickman]

Mammaw was a parking enforcement officer for Gettysburg and she has a large extended family and a lot of friends. They would want to attend the service.  But, Dad doesn't want anyone other than a few people to attend.

He doesn't want people sending flowers, either.

[Sakura Leic]

God, she doesn't deserve being treated like that.

[Quickman]

Ringman and I are trying to contact as many of her extended family as we can to let the, know. 

Thursday is gonna be a nightmare.

Good thing I bought beer.

[Sakura Leic]

Probably should get some chocolate as well, maybe some ice cream if it isn't too cold.

[Quickman]

I have Halloween candy that I was gonna give out, but won't be because I'll be away trick-or-treating. 

TIME TO BINGE

[Sakura Leic]

Thank goodness for emergency candy stash.

I hope the [parasitic bomb] storm isn't too wide or intensely focused, but I know that's probably too optimistic.

[Dr. Wily II]

Binge now, binge later. Just binge.

[Sakura Leic]

And some exercise in between binging sessions would help pump some positive feelings too, I know from experience.

[Dr. Wily II]

Binge, Go!, binge, Go!. Perfect.

[Quickman]

I'm gonna see if Ringman would be up for holding a small wake afterward.  Thursday is gonna be rough and if we could just head out to the Brewery and have dinner, that would be awesome.

Poutine and beer.

[Quickman]

Tomorrow is the funeral.

This is gonna suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[spoiler=Rant]Ugh, my parents are hopeless sometimes. They wanted to try and watch Telemundo on their tablet for soccer that I couldn't give less of a [parasitic bomb] about, the way they tried to handle it was [tornado fang]ing DarkSydePhil-levels of stupid. They couldn't watch it unless they sign in with the Dish TV login information but they haven't keep that somewhere they can remember it and my brother who does remember it is in Colombia at the moment, but rather then do the sensible thing and just call Dish to try and get back the login information, they tried to take their issue with Xfinity on it, not even kidding. They overcomplicated something that could have taken at least 5 or so minutes of phone time, but instead had me waste almost an hour of time trying to translate this [parasitic bomb] on computer-literate terms for them that felt like time was going slower than normal that went nowhere. Waste of time.[/spoiler]

sorry for the necropost but ive been looking back on my old activity on this site

and can i just say... holy [parasitic bomb]. im sorry. i behaved like a petulant, awful little dipshit for years?
i dont know how i ended up making friends here, because i was just really rude and awful to all of you for literally no reason

i was in here throughout my late teens / early 20s and i spent the entire time dealing with body dysmorphia that ive categorized into explanations recently, and i ended up taking my frustration with myself out on the things everyone else was interested in like a terrible internet goblin

time has softened me quite a lot but looking back on who i used to be is honestly surreal, its hard to believe i was ever this person

i have a lot else to talk about that is more thematic to the topic but honestly looking back on how i used to behave was just... well pardon my use of the word as its become memetic now, but it was sort of triggering. and i just felt a huge need to apologize for my past behavior.

[Reaperoid]

I think a few people here were pretty bad, myself included. I mean, holy [parasitic bomb], I think I threatened legal action at some point? It's not been until lately (like, really recently) that I've gotten answers for some things concerning this place, and I've been sitting here hating myself these last few years.

[Dr. Wily II]

We all have a rough patch here and there, but it's how we learn and move on from there that makes us who we are.

Time matures and heals us. And gives us aching pains everywhere.

[Reaperoid]

*rattles some bones*

[Dr. Wily II]

Why you whippersnapper!

[Adelaide]

Boy did I do some [parasitic bomb] back in the day. I'm still dealing with a few of the things that made me a petulant [parasitic bomb], but I've also made great progress. I have medication, which helps immensely and therapy and all that [parasitic bomb].

And loving friends, family and wife. Probably more than I deserve. I digress, I understand the feels in my own way, Sky. Welcome back, hope you pop in from time to time. Also, we've got a Discord server, if that's your thing. Either way, take care!

Oh. Right. I'm/was Ares/SheepGod. Time changes [parasitic bomb].

[Amatiramisu]

My family is collectively losing their minds and I'm generally losing every last shred of patience I have with anyone at all ever.

Now I'm not saying I'm gonna snap or anything, but there's a lotta bridges around here and I've got a box of matches itching to be lit if you follow.

[Sakura Leic]

I have a random cut on my finger and I have no idea where it came from.
