Have A Good Old Moan....

My fiancee and my little brother were going to meet up today to spend some time together, they get on really well and have loads in common. The rest of family is a little off about my fiancee for no particular reasons, so I was really pleased when I heard that they'd planned to spend some time together, since I thought it might have some sort of knock-on effect with the rest of the family.

Just got a phonecall from my fiancee to say that my dad sent him a text this morning telling him not to come around to "his house" or he would "phone the police", it's not the first time he's done such a thing but I feel really upset and terrible about it. My OH is now saying he wants nothing to do with him (which I don't blame him for, he's been treated so nastily for the past 3 or 4 years), my dad wants nothing to do with my OH, everyone's being horried to each other and I'm stuck in the middle. My brother is 18 so he made the plans by himself, I had nothing to do with any of this and it feels like it's all being taken out on me.

Is it really too much to ask that my dad and my fiancee can get along?! I suspect my dad won't even come to my wedding, and it's making me really upset.

Smacked the bleeping Fire alarm open with my heavy brush. Yes! It has a battery and the inside print says it was made in 1999 (the alarm) I guess. So maybe the thing is just old which leads it to keep chirping. I want to yank it out but I don't want the entire set of alarms in each room to beep! GRR. I am having fantasies of getting the grill torch and fusing it into a pile of hot stinky plastic giving the alarms something to actually chirp about.

i haven't felt this bad about myself in so long.. i didn't really say much on here but i went through a phase of not eating, on purpose. stupid, yes i know, doesn't help yes i know - but it made me feel better about myself. i ended up telling my boyfriend everything about how i felt about myself and why i didn't eat anything and i feel so awful it upset him so much.. i told him i'd try and feel better about myself and eat more normal, but it's hard, anyone who's felt like this will know, surely..
but, to keep my mum from being horrible to me about it, i started eating meals again, just tea time meals and didn't eat anything else and told her i'd had a greggs or some sh** like that while i was at college. since then, i've gradually started hating myself again and today seems to be the low-point again.. i thought it best to tell him, i didn't wanna hide it from him and lead him to think i was back to 'normal' when i'm not and i feel so selfish i've upset him again so much..

i knew he'd get upset though, but i still felt i had to tell him. idk what to do anymore, i cba i really cba. ah nice vent..

Boohooo I had to dye my hair black due to being a crazy lady with the bleach and now I have to grow it all before even thinking about having a colourful head again and Its talking such a long time 🙁 It is in good condition now though....

Oh just saw your post Poh, people only get upset or maybe even angry because they care and worry about you and love you. Probably heard that loads before but its true and your loads best off telling the truth to them so they can help you a bit more 🙂

About two weeks ago, maybe a little less, someone from Germany bought a pair of shoes from my website (not my eBay shop).  I got an email from them yesterday asking for the tracking number as they said the shoes hadn't turned up yet.  So today I dug out the postage receipt with the tracking number on it, and checked the tracking details.  It showed the parcel was signed for on 14/11/2012 at the address I posted to.  So I sent a very polite message back saying yes, of course I have a tracking number, here it is, and I've also checked the tracking myself, it's showing that the parcel was delivered on 14/11/2012.  I suggested that if this person lives in a shared building, that they check with their neighbours to see if anyone else signed for a parcel for them.  I haven't heard back from them since (message was sent this morning).  The cynical part of me is convinced that this person received their shoes just fine, wore them, then decided they didn't want to keep them and is just trying to get a refund, knowing that if they return them they won't be entitled to a refund as they're now worn.  🙁
It's kind of sad that I have such little faith in the human race that this is the first option my mind immediately jumps to!

This sums it up beautifully I think

So I grab a sample of the only affordable foundation for combination skin I can find, take the lightest shade...and it's a streaky mess, plus my (usually pale) face now matches my very tan shoulders, dafuq? -__-

My chemistry test went terribly today 🙁 i barely had time and i didn't write everything

I'm applying for uni next year and I don't think I'll get in 🙁 I did really badly at school (I'm 24 now) and even though I've been doing Open Uni for 4 years I still don't think it's enough and I don't think my portfolio is strong enough. I have no variety, I can't keep shooting with the same people but (and this sounds really sad) I only have a very small group of friends and I'm really shy around other people so I find it hard to approach people about shoots.

what courses are you applying for? through ucas?

Photography, It's the only thing I've ever wanted to do, that'll teach me for not paying attention in school!

good for you:) well if you want any advice about application process or interview or personal statement feel free to message me. all the best

Thank you 🙂 I've written my personal statement and everything, I just don't think my grades are good enough :/ Well I guess I'll find out soon.

My interview today went terribly. The interview was stupid, full of horribly negative questions which seemed to focus on my failures rather than my achievements. Was told on the spot that I didn't get it so I faded my lovely blue for nothing!

Ruby I don't think it will really matter that you have so few models for your shoots - I think you can really show off creativity and diversity by doing so much with such limited access to resources. Showing the same subject in many different situations will be more impressive than many subjects but using the same poses etc. Good luck with the application!

We have a substitute teacher for P.E. Said teacher happens to be a really horrible person and a paedophile. I didn't participate, so I had to write a protocol, ended up having to re-do it 4 times. He also looked at me and all the other girls in a weird and pretty disgusting way. Because that wasn't enough, he took my notes from me and touched my knee.
I feel pretty freaking disgusting right now.
