Muppet Christmas Carol is great, but Muppet Family Christmas makes me tear up every time ;v;

Posted in Post your Rants Posted 3 years ago

I hate how everything is on hold for 2-3 days because of Christmas. One thing after another is piling up on me and my whole life is hanging in the balance, and all these kind-of-a-big-deal things are just... paused. Because of a stupid holiday. A holiday that's been dragging out for months now, and the juxtaposition of cheery Christmas music with my life crashing down around me is not helping one bit. Every year I think I hate Christmas just a little bit more. As if I need another burning reminder of how insignificant and inconsequential I am...
So for now here I am, stuck in Christmas twilight, waiting to find out just how badly I'll be screwed over this time... you know... when the rest of the world gets back from enjoying their holiday.

I go around telling people "Whatever happens, I'll get through this :^)" and that seems to be enough for them, but you know, it gets really tiring after saying the same shit for decades while getting ignored and lied to and jerked around again and again and again because nobody cares enough to do their part. The only reason that statement is even true is because what is my other option? Death? Of course I'll "get through it"; if I'm still technically alive then I've technically made it through. That doesn't mean it's OK. That doesn't mean it will ever be OK.

I'm so tired of just hanging on the edge, waiting for things to fall. Then falling, then catching on another edge and having to wait again. But nobody's gonna reach down and pull me up, are they? And especially not during The Holidays; what a downer that would be!

tl;dr: I'm just a thing nobody feels like dealing with and my life continues to get worse while everybody's Christmas cheer just rubs salt in the wounds.

Posted in Happy Solstice! Posted 3 years ago

I was working, so I wasn't able to see the conjunction or do anything for the solstice.. not that I'd have been able to do that anyway in my living situation.. but I did have some gluhwein. Festive enough.

Posted in pickin' up hobbies... Posted 3 years ago

I don't have the space for new hobbies. Can't really spread out and do any kind of art, crafting, etc when all you have is a tiny cluttered bedroom and can't use any other rooms in the house. And I definitely can't afford to take up hobbies that would require me to join any kind of club/group or anything like that, either. Not to mention my work schedule doesn't really allow for me to go to any sort of group meetings; tried to look into that for therapy purposes once, but it didn't work out. So I'm stuck with whatever I can do on the computer and that's... not much. Especially since I'm not really a tech person, so most computer-based things aside from drawing really don't interest me.

But lack of focus is a big issue, too; that's why I don't really write any more despite actually enjoying it and having the physical ability to do so. I've got too much going on, a noisy person taking up the rest of the house, and nobody to give me fresh ideas or input. So I just kinda gave up.

@Wildfire: Agreed. I hope you find everything you're looking for!

@Siron: Trade looks fine, accepted on my end

@Piaro: i do! i think it comes out to 42k; I'll send you a trade

@Siron: sent you a trade!

@Alicethemadhatter: I don't have enough ohms, but sent you a trade with 14k if you're still offering!

@Wildfire: Sorry I just got back to read through all the posts so the OP hasn't been updated yet, but Piaro has offered on the fleurs and opals. If they change their mind, I'll let you know! And unfortunately I don't have any extras of the CIs atm either ;v;

@Merynia: Updated the trade with the Emerald!

@Totalanimefan: The Opals have been offered on, but I have the rest. I can add another 2k to make up the difference, or a similar item if you like. Let me know if you're interested!
