Hey all.

Today's been one of the shittiest days I've had in a while. I won't go into the juicy details.

Doesn't help that the computer got fried in the storm yesterday... I had my mom drop me off at school so I could use mine and the fast internet connection. (We only have dial-up) at home.
Sorry to hear that Meg. Hopefully the rest of your day is looking better.

So this weekend was an interesting one to say the least. The drive up to Hershey not so bad because I was sleeping the whole time but when I got there it got interesting. We didn't start looking for a hotel till about a week ago so that was bad and we got stuck in an interesting motel known as the Cocoa Nights Inn. So then me and my girlfriend leave to go to the show and realize walking would be a better choice. It was but didn't get to the show till about 655. O.A.R came on and were phenomenal. Then as Dave is about to come on my friends tell us to come sit in empty seats right next to them. Went from Section D to Section A about 20 rows from the stage it was AWESOME. Hear my first Nancies> Warehouse and heard Dreaming Tree which was spectacular. Dave is loving the DaveSpeak this tour and the band is going on all cylinders. So the concert ends and this is where the fun begins. My mom calls (Let it be known im 17 so she was with me in Hershey) Her car wouldnt start. Had to go pick her up at Applebees at 1 in the morning where she had been for 5 hours. Next morning we wake up and are rushed out of our room so we dont pay a late fee. My gf and i decide to go with my friends as its safer than my moms car. Turns out we make a wrong turn off 15 and end up turning a 5 hours trip into a 6 and a half. Just got home my gf had to leave to go visit Duequesne right away and all i want to do is sleep. Hopefully my mom will bring home good chocolate. Hope all is welll in HR land

Damn, I feel ya there. During the school year I see Andrew every day, but during the summer I'm lucky if I see him more than once a week. I know I should be thankful for that, but I get so lonely and I miss him so much. Right now I can't even talk on the phone with him unless he finds a way to call me because he doesn't have a phone at the moment.

What was worse was how I thought for the the third year in a row I wasn't going to get to see him on my birthday, but luckily things happened. :)

Ok so his family has this camping trip every year. they go for a week. he had decided that we would go for 2 nights whichever days would work best. we talked about this a couple mnths ago. now, my fam and i planned a amusement park day for fri july 14th and i marked iton the calendar, and he said he was all for it. now since noticing that his brothers and sisters will all be at the camping trip on the 14th/15th nights, he says his dedication is to them so he may not be able to make my plans. Now my suggestion here is to compromise: camp one night (Sat 15th) and do my plans the 14th. However, he is compromising already by only going 2 days when he usually does 4-5 with his fam. I was looking forward to both of these plans, but I feel that compromise is the answer, but he is dead set on camping for 2 nights and not one. So I furthered the solution to, how about we just drive to the poconos to camp right after the amusement park that day (friday)... he says ok as long as we get there in time to be there 2 nights. I dont think I'm being unfair here in asking to do one night and one day of my fam's plans. He's semi buzzed from drinking back at home cause his best friend isback home from iraq, so we just went in circles about this for 15 min before i said ok im gonna go now.... long pause...bye. now i feel bad, we miss eachother, and i basically hung up with no i love you. and there is still no solution as to this plans dilemma. do i just forego the camping trip to do the plans with brendon and my fam and leave him out? or try to work around this somehow?

smeritt
06-25-2006, 12:57 AM
Try and work around it when hes sober. Your not wrong in wanting to compromise because he knew beforehand that you had this scheduled. But you also have to understand his devotion to his family. I think you need to have a nice sober conversation and try and work it out so you do both the amusement park and the camping

Jessica41
06-25-2006, 01:01 AM
He's not drunk, he just keeps repeating himself so I ended the conversation. I'm a little pissed right now and these are the times the relationship is hard. Justin and I used to agree on the important things. Not always the little things but that is to be expected. But lately we're both more stubborn and both feel we're right. Fortunately we've always had the uncanny ability to talk and work things out no matter what the circumstance. I think this one is just going to have to be us going to our seperate events w/o eachother.

ryguy178
06-25-2006, 01:11 AM
I think this is a case where he's not doing it to be confrontational, but rather these 2 situations are a case where maybe family takes preference over either of you spending time together if a compromise can't be met.

Jessica41
06-25-2006, 01:27 AM
I know hes not doing it to argue, its just the fact that we do things with eachothers' families and i find myself going out of my way to do things with his more often. for example, his fam lives 100 miles away. i gave up plans i had previously to go to a winery trip with them a few wks ago for the weekend bc it was important to him that i go. this wekd was important also but i couldnt make it bc i had work. i foresee a lot of him going back home to visit his friends he hasnt seen in awhile, and i foresee a lot of me working on weekends and not being able to go w/ him, i foresee a lot of disagreeing. nobody said it was easy.

Hey Jess, I know you feel bad, which is understandable, but from what you've shared here, you're not being unreasonable at all. You've had your plans on the calendar for a while now and he's known that. It's not fair for either one of you to have to choose.

I hope everything works out. :)

Oh... yeah, my loans won't be too bad.. I'm paying a good portion of my tuition now. I think it's $28,000/year. I pay about $10,000 every year... and get about $12,000 in grants and financial aid. So I'll have at least $5,000-$7,000 per year... and 5 years of school.. So no more than $35,000 in loans. I'm not complaining because I know a lot of people who graduate with like $250,000 in loans to pay back.

I saved and planned for a summer of dave... but it kinda depends on me getting a full time job over the summer to start in late august. if that happens... I'll have my credit card paid off in a month or two and can work on getting my loans finished up and my car in better shape... not to mention save for next summer! but if I have to fall back on my substitute job that I have now, I won't be getting the extra cash to pay it back as quick and i'll have ot budget a lot more... then the interest will hit me hard on the credit card...
but i'm not worried... just enjoy the summer for now!!

I met a guy who recently moved here from Austin. He was really in to me at first and I didn't dig him too much. Then when I started to get more in to him he lost interest. Then I kind of got itback by asking him to come to the NiN concert with me. That was yesturday that he said we'd go. Today he said something came up and he couldn't, but we'd get together another time. I'm cool with taht. Then he started to talk about how he thinks we'd regret it if we hooked up. :BANG

Chase, good to see you in here again.

Can't wait for Fenway next weekend. I hear you and your mom are coming to Jillians before the show on Friday. I'm quite excited.

That's the plan, I suppose. I'm abosolutely stoked about Fenway.

I was on leave all last week and hardly spent a moment in my room (where the Internet is). I missed you guys! How was SPAC, Primo?

I'm not seeking attention, okay? I just want to share some thoughts or reflections with some impartial strangers... Okay, maybe some of them are partial. Point is... I'm going to act like I'm talking to a room full of strangers instead of worrying that I'm being judged.

I've come to 3 conclusions recently:
Sex is overrated.
Romance is a game.
Love is fleeting.
I don't need or want a man in my life. I don't need conditional love. I don't need drama. I don't need to depend on or answer to someone else.
That's all it is.. dependance. Women feel they need a man's love to validate their existance or something. Love is nothing but an addiction to the chemicals our brains release when something feels good. You become dependant on the person or thing that provides that feeling. When you can't get it anymore you feel like your whole life has been taken away even though in reality it changes nothing.
You're still who you are. All you really have is you. I think you must be unsatisfied with yourself if you require another human being to make you feel content. Other people always leave. You always have you.
Life isn't about finding your perfect match. Even when you think you have, you're just convincing yourself it's perfect because of that same chemical addiction. That love feeling clouds your eyes.
There's a possibility that I'm pregnant and the person who is partly responsible wants to be as far from me as possible. I just want to put this awful experience behind me and focus on living my life, bettering myself and having fun. I could die tomorrow and I don't plan on looking back at my life and seeing that I always put somebody else ahead of myself.
Live your life for you, not some man or woman's love.

Love is nothing but an addiction to the chemicals our brains release when something feels good. You become dependant on the person or thing that provides that feeling. When you can't get it anymore you feel like your whole life has been taken away even though in reality it changes nothing.
You're still who you are. All you really have is you. I think you must be unsatisfied with yourself if you require another human being to make you feel content. Other people always leave. You always have you.
Life isn't about finding your perfect match. Even when you think you have, you're just convincing yourself it's perfect because of that same chemical addiction. That love feeling clouds your eyes.
There's a possibility that I'm pregnant and the person who is partly responsible wants to be as far from me as possible. I just want to put this awful experience behind me and focus on living my life, bettering myself and having fun. I could die tomorrow and I don't plan on looking back at my life and seeing that I always put somebody else ahead of myself.
Live your life for you, not some man or woman's love.


i hope all is ok, cass, IM if you want to talk. But, you are right. We should not rely on others to have our own happiness. I have learned that. You really need to be happy with yourself first

Maybe it is that I am happy with myself and who I am, however, I find my happiness in the people that I know and the people that I spend my time with. Without my friends, I don't think I would be as happy as I am.

- PrimoI couldnt agree more. I think without my girlfriend or friends I'd still be happy just not as happy. Whenever I think of my girlfriend I just can't help to smile does that make me dependant. I don't think so.

I understand where your coming from Cassie. I feel for your situation but it doesn't mean you shouldn't love again or keep yourself secluded from the world. I know more than most shit happens, but times goes on and you will be stronger from it trust me.

Well, I read this thread enough, so I may as well comment...
first, cassie I'm so sorry you're going through such a hard time. you seem like a very tough girl, and there are obviously lots of people here that care about you that would be willing to help you.

I think you are absolutely right. Before you can really love someone else, you HAVE to love yourself and be happy with yourself. If you're not, how can you truly give of yourself?

So many people talk about a significant other completing you, and I think that is crap. You complete yourself. A significant other should complement you in my opinion, and you should be abe to bring out the best in each other. Same goes for friends. As for being alone without friends, of course, we all would be alone without friends. The difference is, you shouldnt NEED to be with your friends or others 24hrs/7 days a week to be happy.

That said, don't give up on love Cassie, just take a break from it. Find out who you really are, get your life in order, love yourself. Then I think it's much easier to love someone else.

I agree. I am happy and content with myself, but even happier due to my relationships with my friends. One thing I'd like to add is there are all sorts of things I can do make myself happy, but it is hard to beat putting a huge smile on someone's face or making their eyes light up.

anyway... very well put. I agree 100%
although i usually agree with sarah... she's very logical and knowlegable. I did the whole "no friends" thing when I lived in Texas and it was the most miserable year of my life. Now that I live with my 2 best friends, but get plenty of time away from them, I'm MUCH happier. As for the whole needing to be with someone... at points in your life, it helps (when you're ready for it)... but at other points, it really is best to be on your own. I know this very well right now... for soon I shall be there!!

Okay, I don't want to complain and whine, but I don't know what to do anymore about my boyfriend's family. It's like they're trying to push me away from him... they're doing a very good job, too. The more he sticks up for himself, the more they put him right back down. And until he graduates, there's not much he can do. He can't afford to move out and go to a private school and buy a car. So for the next year or so they have contorl over him, and they do keep him on a short leash.

We got into a real nasty argument yesterday... I said some things I probably shouldn't have. But I did tell him I couldn't deal with them anymore. He said he couldn't either, but while he's still in school there isn't too much he can do. But he is going to sit his mom and stepdad down tonight and have a talk with him. Hopefully it goes well, but really... what is he supposed to say? It's not his house, it's not his car... while yes, he's the only one who drives it since his mom doesn't drive anymore, and yes, he has a job and she doesn't... what can he really say?

Any help at all would be wonderful... Except telling me to break up with him. He's my best friend and the love of my life. I won't treat him the same way everyone else does.

Meg,

I didn't see this right away. That is a very difficult situation particularly because he is pretty stuck financially with where he is at. I have had a lot of friends who have gone through similar gyrations with their family and ended up dropping out of school to get jobs so that they could afford to live on their own and be away from that situation.

All I can really suggest is that you be supportive of whatever decision he ultimately comes to in regards to his family. It seems like he understands just how ridiculous they are, but he wants to make sure that he finishes his school and pays for his car so that he has something to fall back on when he finally lets them go a bit.

I don't know how much that really helps, but I figured I would let you know my take on the situation. I hope it all turns out ok.

Hey all... Scranton last night was a good good time... missed you all...
here's a review... sorry I tend to ramble...

Ok so I'm home as of 2 1/2 hrs ago... yes it took us allll night to get 110 miles away...We left the lots at 12? I think...

To start off the night, it was great to see ants again. We met up w/ Tony in Scranton around 2pm, and had a drink at an expensive bar before deciding to just start tailgating from the bar parking lot while waiting for Fay to get closer to Scranton so we could all park close. Then we headed to the lots around 4. To our amazing luck, Fay showed up 20 min or so later and was parked very very close to us so we wouldn;'t have to lug grills and coolers around. Then Lilly came over, and we called some other ants who had an interest in meeting up. Steve came over, I asked where the hell is your guitar, and he said he would bring it in a little bit. So hung out, took some pics, and had the famous Tony burgers that were fabulous. Then we watched many underagers around us get busted, pour beer out, cry, and get underages by the LCB.

We then sang and had a lovely ants time as Steve played guitar. Many of us were a little intoxicated and had trouble with some DMB lyrics. Shame on us. We pulled through on ANTS quite well though. :monkey

We headed into the venue around 7:45pm and found a nice spot on the lawn just in time for PNP to start. Have heard this many times, but love it as an opener. Granny was a surprise, as it hadn't been played since the tour opener. Always love this one live. Then came American Baby, although I'm not too fond of it after hearing it 28972476 times last summer, I still sang and had a good time. Next, WAYG, eh... not a fan ever of this song, although Justin made it happy because of his singing loud and dancing around. Also all of us ants were happy to be together on the lawn. IOU... great song...Grey St... another crowd pleaser. LLD - I was surprised again as it was a tour debut. Happy to hear it live again. LIOG was amazing as always, lots of crowd energy. WTWE, Hunger... eh... Grace is Gone - OK I was happy to hear this bc I hadnt heard it since my first show in '01. And tony was sooo happy because he reallly really wanted this song. hoedown was awesome, and we all danced all the way through. LAST STOP came as a shock, I knew it was possible, but didnt think we'd get so lucky/ I think I lost my voice temporarily through this one. AMAZING.
DAD - love this song... and first time hearing it live. ED---> Ants to close was a good time. I have said it but I will say it again. I love ANTS, and I would take it over a lot of other closers. I was happy to have this close the set.
Can't Stop -- I thought crush was coming next... then Bayou started... I said this cant be closing the show? Jolynn and I lingered for a moment after it ended in hopes it wasnt closing... but in fact it did. Overall I was quite happy with this show, as it was a solid set and I was in great company. I left a little disappointed in the encore, but the rest of the show was a good time. It was a mellow set, but as long as I had a good time I will never complain.



After getting back to the lots we began our journey to Perkins, I said my goodbyes to Jolynn, her friends, and Fay and Aaron... We followed Lilly and Tony and we all decided to go eat... I was dead tired, hungry, and pretty drunk from the margaritas and zimas and beers Tony and Justin handed me on the lawn...I fell asleep on the way, and when waking up, we all went in and ate. Our waitress SUCKED but the food was a much needed thing at that point in the night. We all had long drives ahead of us, and it turned out that Justin got tired after half an hour so we pulled into a hotel parking lot and slept in the car for an hour and a half (although he swears it was only going to be 20 minutes) ;)

After that it was around 5am... we stopped at Dunkin Donuts, grabbed some water, and he kept driving home. I of course passed out again, and we made it to bed at 7am finally. I am typing all of this on a few hours of sleep, and didnt plan on rambling this much.

ONCE AGAIN so glad to see some ants that Ive missed, and a special thanks to Tony for all the stories, burgers, good times, and laughs. You are one of my favorite ants, and I hope the trip was worth all the thought you put into it! :hug

Jar I am really disappointed I didn't get to see you. I was a dumbass and did not charge my phone before leaving so my phone died at 2pm. I had to use Justin's all night and only had your number in my phone. I hope you had a good time, and I hope to see you at C'Ville.

There really isn't much you can do. I am going to forecast that the parental situation will not get better. Even if he sits down with them and they agree to make changes, most likely they will be short lived and the parents will fall back into old habits. In the meantime, you have to make a decision as to how committed you are to your boyfriend. If he is the one then this will be a blip on the radar and a good experience to prove to each other how strong your relationship is and can be. If you feel that he may not be the one, then you may want to consider if all of this hassle will pay off in the long run. Good luck. :thumbsup

Thanks everyone for the advice. He did talk to him mom last night about one thing that's been bothering. It's a small step in the right direction. He can't do it all at once because it's just too much for her to handle right now. She's not in a very good mental state as of late.

He knows that his family has become a big problem for me, and because I know of what he's willing and wants to do to fix that, I can't complain. Because like Primo said, there isn't much he can do if he wants to stay in school.

We decided a few days ago that we were going to move to Columbus after graduation. As long as that actually happens, I'm sure we'll be fine. I will stick it out with him. I know my family's not perfect either.

Anyways, thanks for the help.

And Jess, I'm glad you had an awesome time last night! :D
