Is there any way to get myself to NOT cry all the damn time?

Really. It’s frustrating. Anything I feel strongly about makes makes me weep. It’s a ridiculous way to live, people.

Basically, if something is important to me, or if I really need to get my point across, I’ll cry. The higher the stakes, the bigger the tears.

Whhhy. This is not helping me be taken seriously!

Do any other weepy, emotional types have tips for overcoming this? I feel like I would be a more successful person in life if I could just get the waterworks under control.

Money can’t buy you hilarious alpaca pictures.
Well, it can.
But why would you pay for them when you can get them for free on the internet?

On the phone with my bank

  • Lady: I do notice that your bank account balance is very low so I would recommend that you make a deposit very soon.
  • Me: Uh, yeah. I'll do that as soon as I have any money.
  • Lady: I see. Well, I really do recommend that you make a deposit in case your account overdrafts again.
  • Me: Yeah. Thanks for the advice. I'll do that as soon as I have any money. Like. At all.

Bad Day

So, today is sucksville for a number of reasons I won’t go into here, but the low point definitely came when, while getting out of my car at the gas station, I slipped and twisted the ever living crap out of my ankle. I had to limp into the shop and pay for my gas with tears streaming down my face. I don’t think the attendant spoke English, but I’m hoping my wincing and pointing at my ankle got across that I was injured and not crazy.

So far, winter break has been slightly less awesome than I had hoped.

Things I coveted as a kid: that sweet tree house in Now and Then. I would’ve given all my Gigapets* and Malibu Girl nail polishes to have that in my backyard.
Hey, when do you think Christina Ricci will start looking like Rosie O’Donnall? Isn’t it about time?
* I didn’t actually have any Gigapets… God, I was so deprived.

“When viruses or bacteria invade, your trusty white blood cells release proteins that send a message to your brain’s temperature control center. To fight off the infection, this control center begins to raise your temperature by constricting your blood vessels and making you shiver. As you shiver, the increased muscle activity produces heat, and the blood vessels in your skin contract to prevent heat loss.
When you have a chill, your skin may feel colder, but as blood is diverted from the skin to deeper inside your body, the temperature at the core of your body is actually on the rise”

-MotherNature.com

I’ve been sick for the last couple days, but my only symptoms have been fever, chills and body aches. It’s kind of odd. No stuffy nose, sore throat, upset stomach or anything like that.

Anyway, last night as I cycled from shivering in wool socks, sweats and a sweater under four blankets to burning up and throwing all the layers off, I got to wondering about chills. So I looked it up.

Sucks how the things your body does to help you fight off illness have to make you feel like such crap.

My Future Wedding

brokenbirdy:

I doubt I would be that ruthless or that shallow in real life, it was more of just a joke. But sorry if I actually offended you. I don’t have “nasty opinions” of fat people as you put it, but I guess I don’t have to justify that since you don’t know me and you probably wouldn’t believe me.

I mean, I understand that you were saying it in a somewhat facetious way, but it’s pretty fucking cruel.

People in our culture are altogether too comfortable with abusing others because of their weight.

My Future Wedding

brokenbirdy:

I know this is really shallow of me to admit, and it will probably land me a spot on Bridezilla or not even get me a future husband, but I hate fat bridesmaids. I refuse to have them ruin my photos.

Yep, let the men start lining up now…

Wow.

So, if you had a really great friend or sister who you loved and was overweight, you would pass her over as a bridesmaid because she would ruin your pictures?

Yeah, that IS really shallow.

You know what makes wedding pictures great? They’re of the people you love, celebrating your happiness.

I guess this won’t really be an issue if you have no fat friends… but I suppose someone who would have such a nasty opinion of fat people wouldn’t associate with them in general.
