    So on top of my ex-crush cutting me out of her life, my formerly close friend enabling her to do so and who doesn't trust me because of said crush, . . . now perhaps my closet off-line friend who I tried going out with a couple years ago, and had/have? more significant feelings for, has become engaged to his partner. All within a month's time.

    Don't get me wrong, they're a great couple and I'm happy for them, but still.... Fuck. :bang:

    Started to cry, mom asked what for. Told her that it was because I was thankful for all I've been given. (Which is true.)

    But in actuality I started to cry when I thought about all the abused doggos that don't have a home for the holidays.

    Still, happy holidays everyone. :slight_smile:

    Every year I try to tell myself that I don't give a fuck, that none of this holiday crap means anything to me. Every year I realize I'm lying to myself. It does hurt that I watch everyone else having a good time during the holiday season, exchanging gifts and spending time with friends and family; meanwhile I spend it alone. Every fucking year. My older sister spends it with her stupid boyfriend that she won't bother to have the family get to know. Exchanges gifts and good cheer to everyone on his side of the family but can't be arsed to remember the people she's actually related to. Even my younger sister gets to spend it with someone this year.

    But I spend it angry at my computer. No friends to celebrate it with, no family either, because one half is full of fucking killjoy Jehovah's Witnesses, and the other half lives out of state. I spend every December 25th wishing for it to be the 26th.

    I guess my point is those who do get to spend the holidays with friends and family, try to be thankful for it. You could be like your resident black-and-yellow bastard, having to spend it alone. :frowning2:

    So...for 3 months straight my mom has shown my brother different laptops (all in front of me) and asking if it would be powerful enough for me (gaming, watching videos, school work, etc)

    For last few months I have been talking about needing to replace my 9 year old laptop before I move to new Uni.

    All this month mom has been asking if I want anything for Christmas, to which I answer I want a new laptop and she replies she knew I would say that.

    Last week my brother comes home with a Dell Laptop in a box...

    ...was finally starting to hope I was getting a laptop...

    Today comes....I was given nothing by mom...again...just like every year since I was 16.
    The laptop my brother brought home...no longer works so his co-workers gave it to him to use for spare parts....

    Ask her about how she managed to charge a few hundred dollars to her credit cards for the holidays....decorations and new gaming systems for my 8 year old nephew...She tells me she gets me gifts every Christmas and that I will be fine without one this year....
    .....
    ....
    I had to remind her that I was 16 the last time I got a gift and that what I got that year was a hamster (for an apartment with a no pet rule) that died the next day. And that since then she has not gotten gifts for any of her children except the eldest and for her grandson.
    She actually forgets she never gets us anything. And then she'll say that she just couldn't afford it this year then gets pissed that I remind her that she'll drop a couple hundred on my nephew every year.

    I don't care about the gift to be honest, it would just be nice to feel like she at least thought about it though. And this year it was almost.like she was teasing me with the whole laptop thing..

    I also have a cold so I can thankfully opt out of Christmas dinner with the whole family. And my brother is straight up refusing to go since he gets teased for his love of physics each year.

    It's been ages since I've been on EC. I missed so many of you!

    Would have returned earlier, but stepping away from the internet and focusing on turning my life around was definitely what the doctor ordered.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, guys!

    If you post a fanfic online, then don't get angry/upset when someone posts something negative about it.

    The moment you put it on the internet you're open to critique or even hate comments. Do I condone hate comments? No. Do I condone critique? Very much so.

    Don't act surprised when someone doesn't like what you write. And more than anything else don't block out critique because they said something you didn't agree with.

    I can't stand people who complain about critiques. Hey, at least they have people who are actually reading their work. :dry: Don't know how good they've got it. I'd love for people to critique mine. Feel like I'm never going to get better because I've got nobody who reads my work, much less critiques it. I'm writing in a bubble.

    Speaking of writing, it's kind of interesting trying to type when you're listening to a song in another language. Just now I was trying to reply (in English, obviously) while the song in the background is in Italian. Got mixed up. Brain fail. :grin:
