Suckage:
going over to your girlfriends house and finding out the other guys started calling and email her again and she wants to date you both...again after just having two awesome weeks together and yes we both feel that way; suckage saga continues - I am like NOT! Me or him baby; I am tired of this over and over and I dont do threesomes or timesharing. Am begining to believe she is just unfit for relationship material. Really sucks that we are so awesome together, but I am done with the "I love you but want to hang out with him too" routine. hehe if I am on WOW tonight; guess you'll know things didnt go my way :)
Call me old fashioned, but parallel dating? Not happening.

Dude, where are you finding these women? No, seriously, where - threesomes, cool! (Oh wait, it's another guy - hmmm, maybe not.)
Honestly, is this the one who has been jerking you around for months, or just another of the strange woman you seem to specialise in? Let her go off with the other guy. Sheesh, her attitude is terrible - what a way to treat someone.
yeah; thanks; but I told her my way or the highway; so she dumped the other guy; yep; same girl over 5 months; told her she pulls this again and I am not lookin back. Never know how those conversations are gonna go; they suck thats for sure, those conversations can go either way and tend to blow up in your face.

You know what sucks? Running into your clingy ex-girlfriend in Wal-Mart, then having to respond to questions like "why don't you call?" Lady, we haven't even SEEN each other in two years. Get over it.
"Cuz yer a needy skank."
Problem solved.
Sorry to hear that, Pete. I really feel for you and Gary right now. I hope you are doing ok.

Stacy: Happy anniversary, Wayne.
Wayne: Stacy, we broke up two months ago.Stacy: Well, that doesn't mean we can't still go out.
Wayne: Well, it does, actually. That's what breaking up is.
...
Stacy: Well, don't you want to open your present?
Wayne: If it's a severed head I'm going to be very upset.
Stacy: Open it.
Wayne: What is it?
Stacy: It's a gun rack.
Wayne: A gun rack... a gun rack. I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a gun rack?
Stacy: You don't like it? Fine. You know Wayne, if you're not careful, you're going to lose me.
Wayne: I lost you two months ago. We broke up. Are you mental? Get the net!

Oh dear god, Pete, do I know where you're coming from. I have been there before for two dearly loved long-lived cats and know just how hard it is. I don't know anything that anyone could have said to me then to make it any easier, before or after, so I'll just say I'm sorry, and my thoughts are with you.

I went to the dentist today. In many people's worlds, that would be enough. However, there's more.
The dental hygenist was this freaky, neurotic middle-aged woman that seemed to know more about my personal life than I did. For example: "I heard you broke up with your girlfriend a few months ago. Anyone new?" And, "How's it going with your band?"
*doik*
I mean, it is a small town, but jeez, how does she know this s!#+?
She also had an annoying way of asking you questions when she had her fingers in your mouth.
"So, are you in college yet?"
"ug"
"Oh, that's too bad. Why not"
"nng"
"Well, that's a good thing. Where"
"ug ou"
"Oh, you too!"
It was like she was having a conversation with herself.
Doh; shiney; hehe thanks for sharing hehe
as for me; my girlfriend still hangs out with that "other guy" on sundays though she says they dont do anything. BTW he sent me a couple threatening phone calls; got em on the recorder at home; only one way he would have even known my name; threats were very personal and vile which pretty much sucked. Am considering playing them for my lawyer.

Maybe she reads the Paizo board between patients?
I cannot stress how much I hate apartment hunting. I hate talking on the phone to realtors and landlords, I hate trying to schedule things with people (especially roomates and realtors/landlords) and even if we actually manage to schedule a look, either the person in charge keeps us waiting a good twenty minutes or doesn't show. And then it turns out they really lied about what we were seeing or were trying a bait and switch operation.
Everyone treats you like s#$# if you're looking for a place because they know there's bound to be a lot more people coming anyways, so they can be dicks and demand that you either come over immediately or just forget about it. Couple that with people that are either coming from out of town or can't afford to miss work when everyone else is ready and I'm alone out here, even if I have two other roomates, in theory. We've seen one place in two weeks of looking. One Place, besides me going out by myself after saying "f%~@ it" and getting completely stood up.
I'll just live in a cardboard box under a bridge.
I'll just live in a cardboard box under a bridge.Well, if it worked for Kurt Cobain...
Yeah, and look where it got him. I'm wary of following in the footsteps of anyone that can't be happy with millions of dollars, a successful career and a new baby. Man had problems if he preferred the cardboard box to the mansion.
I guess I'm "Mr. Life Sucks" or something now, with several posts in a row, but June/July haven't been too kind.
A friend called on Saturday and told me that someone we know (a close friend of hers) got hit by a car and died on Friday night. She was on her bike by the Queensboro bridge, probably fairly late at night. It was instant, as far as we know, so I guess that's some consolation. This person wasn't a close friend of mine; more of an acquaintance, but a few people I know were really close to her. It sucks. It's hard. We graduated in the same class, she was the same age as me.
I guess the big lesson, if there is one, is not to take anything for granted. It's a tough world out there, you have to take care of each other.

Out of curiosity, why are you still with her? This can only lead to trouble...
Minor suckage: I spent two hours playing guitar last night, and woke up this morning with blisters on all ten fingers.
I remember the blisters and pain on my left fingers when learning to play the viola. I feel for you man...but at least it turned out all right for you! :D

Facing an uncertain diagnosis. I have felt a continous general and fatiguing pain non-stop for six months now. With my other syptoms the big fear is fibromyalgia. Treatable and not deadly at least. I simply don't have the money to pay for the drugs they will put me on.
This comes two years after nearly dying from a ruptured appendix.
having a girlfriend that constantly says she loves you and adores you in one breath; and the next threatens to leave you if you dont jump to her whip; then having it all put in perspective by your friend telling you about his one year old nephew that just got put into ICU as he whole body locked up frozen and doctors cant figure out why. Their is suck and there is massive suck.
Facing an uncertain diagnosis.
Not that it helps, but those conditions may be related. When your appendix bursts it releases a ridiculous amount of toxins into your body (generally what kills you).

Truth. I'm glad mine got removed before that point.

<nods> That is what the doctor suspects. When the appendix burst it was three days before I got treated (yes, I was an idiot). So that tells how bad it was. I had to get a drain put in and had a nice, long antibiotic regimen before the surgery. The doctor wanted to wait a month before the surgery because, as he said, "it looked like a bomb went off in my stomach". On top of it all the surgery didn't go as expected either and a laproscopic surgery became a full on "cut him open and tear it out."
Fun times.

Well, I just received word last night that my great uncle died in Mississippi. By the time I found out, he had already been cremated.
He had been very ill recently (diagnosed with Leukemia), and I guess the strain of evacuating for the hurricane got to him. This will be a blow to my father, as the two were very close.
He was a good man: husband, father, and almost like a grandfather to my brothers and I. He was also a WWII vet - bomber pilot who spent 18 months as a "guest" of the Germans after his plane was shot down.
R.I.P. Uncle Hammy.
Holy Moly dude; prayers and blessing for your uncle and you family; whew; thanks for sharing.

Thanks Valegrim, much appreciated. Even though he was sick with Leukemia, and had only been given a few months to live, the suddeness of his death, coming at a time of chaos like this, has been a real blow to everyone.
wow; talk about taking stock and a perspective check; thanks dude; prayers...
My grandmother just passed away, so we are going to her funeral.
The only problem is.....
She lives right by the gulf coast in Louisiana, and she got hit big time by hurricane Gustav. So we are going to fly down there, and walk around in knee-deep water while trying to help relatives empty all the water out of her house. Her town doesn't have the power back on yet, and I don't think there is a grocery store within a ten mile radius that is open. I have no idea what we are going to eat while we are down there.
Something tells me this is not going to be a fun trip.
Now that really sucks... my simpathy for you...
Cramps. Probably been said before but it bears repeating because right now I hurt so much I cannot move, eat, or speak because as soon as I do I'll start screaming again.

You wanna know what's really funny about that. One of the writers for Wayne's World was David E. Kelley, who later went on to create the TV show "The Practice" (among others), which also happened to star Lara Flynn Boyle, who played Stacy in WW.
In one season of the show, a client comes to the office of the lawyers of the practice with a bag that and, all freaked out demands they open it. The contents of the bag?
A severed head!
Which one of the lawyers later either shows to (or tells about to) Lara Flynn Boyle's character (a DA).
Coincidence?
I think not. :)
It seems like I get my hopes up only to have them dashed again in short order. It's been really frustrating finding an apartment in the city; I had two roomates in the summer, then one got layed off from her job and the other broke the news that going over his finances, he could only afford about $500 a month for rent. So, a few months passed and I had all but given up. Then last week the same roomate called to say that another friend wanted to get a place and that he had payed off a loan so he could start saving money. Groovy. But, of course, yesterday, this other friend calls and says it won't be until December that her lease is up and she isn't sure she'll even have a job due to the nonsense on Wall Street.
I'm still stuck commuting five hours round trip every day and living in my (wonderful, understanding, generous) parents' house. With no time or energy to work on my illustration portfolio, no time to date or see people or do much of anything. I have been saving a lot of money, but I'm not crazy about living by myself (it's kind of depressing, I've found and I probably can't even afford to) or finding someone on Craig's List. Lame.
D&D nerd living in his parents' basement stereotype? You're looking at him! Hi, nice to meet you! I can feel my inner neck-beard (and outer one) growing by the day.
My best friend of over a decade has applied for duty with the customs and border patrol. I met with the retired FBI agent doing his background check last week, told him how great my friend will be for the job. So, it seems that he'll be moving to New Mexico in the middle of November for five months of training and then to South Texas for duty. I'm happy for him, government service is his dream, but I'll miss him. I guess I'll have to go down to visit (as soon as I get a "New England Liberal" t-shirt printed to guarantee an interesting trip) but it won't be the same and he's like half of my D&D group. So, mid-November is when a lot of the only fun things about staying in CT come to a screeching halt.
I know a lot of people have it worse, but I still feel kind of lousy.
Having meet lots of great people that share the same interest and have hilarious sense of humor and live a country away from them....
Dealing with a job that has become less fulfilling each day.
Amen.........
I need to find a new job.
To meet lots of wonderful persons that share your interests and have a great -and twisted- sense of humor and live a country away from them (or more!)...

Inability to find a job that has decent benefits.
I've been trying to apply at the semi-local Wal-mart for the past month and their damn job signup form is broken. I've tried going into the Wal-mart to apply but they just tell me to apply online.
*sigh*
I've sent an email to their tech support but have yet to hear anything back.
