Good luck Kemy!

Here's hoping the Cochlear Implant surpasses expectations for you!  A friend of mine had two implanted a few years ago and she's been doing marvelous.  It was so great hearing her talk about it and how much it changed her life.

Grrrrr

I wasn't moving well in the ring tonight, while sparring, took some solid shots to the nose and proceeded to bleed extensively for three rounds.  There was blood EVERYWHERE.  Argh.  I was literally spitting it out.  Gross.  I kept sparring, of course.  Grrrrr.  :(

The coach told me afterward that I have to learn how to suck the blood back and swallow.  If you bleed too much, they'll stop a fight. 

Great.  So my new 'skill' is going to be swallowing my blood without gagging.  FUN.

My nose hurts.

I just have to laugh .... :)

What I was thinking......

LOL The whole time I was reading that all I could see in my head was that part in Fight Club where he had to swallow his own blood in the meeting and in the end he gave everyone a bloody smile.

KoanaKai's picture

I can think of a few things that would be worst to swallow than

my own blood, like pride or gall.  way to go, girl.  I've always wanted to try boxing.  I wish you well.

There's a lot worse things

There's a lot worse things you could have to practice swallowing without gagging. Given the alternatives I wouldn't mind the blood ;-)

My rant? We're having the foundation in our house fixed. There are strange men in my house by 7:30 am. They are jackhammering indoors for the next two days. I have no real place to hang out. My dogs came home from the boarder and Bosco preceeded to throw up in his house. The house stinks. There's no carpet except in my room and there are carpet tacks all over the place. There are random 6inch holes all over the house. My bed is the only bed in the house right now. I'm about 5 minutes away from getting a room at Motel Sex and hiding out there for the next two days. I start back to paramedic school after being on a two-year hiatus and I'm nervous as shit. Not because I doubt myself or my abilities, but I'm afraid I'm going to love it even more than I remember and there's no gurantees I'll be well enough to go back into the field. There's a large part of me that wants to get up in the morning and drop my class and get a full refund. But I refuse to be a chicken shit. Oh, and I haven't slept in 24 hours and I won't be sleeping anytime soon.

Kemy, a cochlear implant is a wonderful thing. The pain of surgery will pass and you will be left with hearing you didn't have before. You'll do fine and I'm so stoked for you!

okay, i have to take part in

okay, i have to take part in this. my co-workers have no idea i'm gay and my friend keeps trying to hook me up with one of her boyfriend's friends. i pledged to myself that i wouldn't stay in my fake state of ambiguity when i started my job. i'm not totally out yet, but i don't understand why this is so difficult for me. no, i'm not ashamed....i just can't let it go on for much longer or i'll go crazy. any advice on how to approach this??

shi's picture

don't you hate it when this

don't you hate it when this thing happen?

I mean, yes, our buddy wanted to 'help' us, but still...

I gotta admit that I've never been in relationship before, so my so-called cupid buddy tried so hard to hook me up with almost everyone. Obviously I was tired, so I just said that I'm asexual.

LOL not a good answer but it REALLY helps out. Now I'm free as a bird! plus it's a good answer if you dont wanna come out too soon yet you dont want to sound straight. :P

Don't get too excited. I

Don't get too excited. I just came to do a drive-by post and wish Kemy well. I don't have much to say anymore.

But just so I don't disappoint...today is lunges and pull-ups and I can't stand them (my trainer LOVES them). I've got the worst heartburn, my back hurts, and I have cat hair in my eye. Other than that I'm peachy.

older sisters.. enough said

There must be some higher purpose for having an older annoying sister. She knows exactly what buttons to press to irritate me and keeps her finger on the button. She wont give me a minute to get in the door before she is asking me for something or to do something for her like charge her ipod (she's been in the fecking house and couldn't get up off her arse to charge it herself) and she will harp on and labour the point until she gets what she wants, she will not take no for an answer. I bought a jacket recently which she likes so she is going to go out and get the exact same one. It's all the little things that are going to send me into a state of neurosis and worst of all she makes me feel guilt for getting annoyed at her for annoying me. ahhh

Ranty Rant Rant...

Why does job hunting have to be so hard, I'm either under qualified or over qualified, I just want to work so I can get out of my parents home because moving home after 6 years of not being here (even if it is only so I can find my feet again) was so not the best move, things are tense, mum and dad disagree a lot (this is one of the reasons I went on holidays and never came home 6 years ago) and it looked like they might have to sell the house at one stage to survive, my younger brother and his girlfriend were kicked out/left because of the way my dad has been, but I'm stuck here... And to top it all off my girlfriend has moved into her own apartment and has no computer or phone, how is a long distance relationship meant to last like that? (those of you that know me know I love her to bits and am willing to work my hardest to keep her) God! I just get so angry with my world at times and the only person to blame for it is me... ok enough ranting from me...

Thanks guys

Thanks Code, leskidd, and msgulp

I hope everything will go well, im just stoked, that it is finally happening... Few months back I could have it done but it was cancelled because of one test I did not do, well was not told about, until it was too late, which was fustrating, but now, all tests are done, the operation is a go ahead...

My only concern is now the after- operation recovering time, last time I had an operation which was last march, for Gallbladder, after the operation i ended up with high temp and fast pulse, and vomited and felt nausea from the anthesitc was a concern to my doctor,  irrates me because I dont cope well being in hospital, I rather recover in my own bed.... I hope i dont need to stay over more than two nights at the hospital, one night will do with me... So fingers crossed I dont get anything like that....

catattack   I feel for you, having an older sister does have its moments... I could go on and on about my sister, but one thing that stands out that the way she treats me... thats all I can say really... I mean I love my sister but sometimes I just rather not see her every day, I could cope twice a week but no more... Unfortuneally when you have a mother who would like to have the "whole" family here. Im just gald today they're not here... It properly the only day I have that doesnt focus on her and her kids... which is a relief...

Footballers

Anyone here like to watch Football (The UK game, not the US game)

My rant is: Why are grown men incapable of playing this sport without wearing gloves???  It really winds me up - they are athletes at the top of their profession running around a pitch for 90 minutes - how the hell can they be cold??  The weather in England is so mild it boggles my mind.  Was watching a game recently where an Arsenal player had to stop partcipation because... wait for it... HIS GLOVE CAME OFF!!!!!!  Oh my god, someone stop the game quick, he might get frostbite!!

Footballers are turning into overpaid pansies and it's really starting to spoil my love of the game.

Gloves? We don't need no stinkin' gloves!

Perhaps you should just be thankful they're not out there in tracksuit bottoms. ;)

Aussy Open

haha, it's on now.  Sharapova vs Vaidasova, although it's not in sync with Aussy time since the match is already over and Sharapova won in two tight straights.  However, the match being played now ie. Hingis vs Clijsters is being played live in Australia and they're showing the completed Sharapova match!!!!  How I wish they would just listen to me and only show the players I'm interested in watching...sadly I am insignificant, but at least I tried.

i think it's beyond pathetic

i think it's beyond pathetic the sports events are not shown live these days when one can access live scores.

I agree, plus I'm a tennis

I agree, plus I'm a tennis fanatic and it would be nice if they showed that half as much as they show baskeball and football.  I'm assuming you too are a tennis player?

Tennis fan as well

And agreed - they should show more tennis on tv. And not at ungodly hours. Clijsters won in straight sets as well, I believe.  Loving her career comeback.
rovingeye's picture

When did she decide to not

When did she decide to not retire, cos at the end of last season wasn't she leaving?

 

Anyone see the Murray v Nadal match? Murray seemed to be acting like a petulant child when he missed a point.

sheesh's picture

Clijsters still retiring...

Sadly, she lost to Sharapova and bid her farewell's.  Not sure if this is "permanent" like Michael Jordan permanent, or what.  Still sad to see her go. 

Oh - and I wish that Federer had a nemesis.  It's no fun when he completely whoops on everyone all the time.

some times it's the other way around ~

speaking of "assbag drivers" ... i'm tired of assbag jay walkers who think they can run across 4 lanes of traffic and not expect SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN and people who run up the sidewalk to catch the blinking red hand to cross the road then when in the cross-walk on the brink of the green light, they walk extraextraextra SLOW and look athe drivers like, "WHAT??!" (o___O) that'stupid, we should be allowed to hithem!

and now back to the drivers that you hate or don't like ~

i live in Honolulu, HAWAII and i swear...ONLY IN HAWAII DOES ITAKE 1 FREAKING HOUR TO GO 2 MILES! i mean, really! people in Hawaii are the WORST left lane drivers and have the worst MERGERS! no+one knows how to merge in Hawaii and worst of all, hardly anyonever honks because there's this FAKE ALOHA SPIRIT where it would be RUDE and UN-ALOHA to HONK your horn at someone that's being an idiot on the road! *GRRR* cuz really, it's NOTraffic on the road - once i get pasthe merging lane, all steers clear! it's just a bunch of people that don't know how to drive and get out of the left lane to make way for the people who know how!!!

and another thing, OAHU has the MOST RIDICULOUS road construction at inappropriate times of days, noto mention MINDLESS city planning - anyone who hasn't been to Oahu just has to see ito believe it...you'd be like, "Whathe+hell???!" (O____O)

and to think thathe idiots "doing the job" are getting paid hourly salaries (T____T)

and also ~ why are gas prices cheaper where the RICH people live?? shouldn't it be the other way around = cheaper where the working-class people live?? *guh*

there. i'm done o(^_^)o now i can wave my shit goodbye and flush it ~ bwahahhaaa!

My aunt does not believe i am gay because i like to wear t-shirts that classify me being gay. is that a problem african americans were t-shrits that say black power, so why cant i wear a t-shirt that says or resembles gay pride. No one takes me seriously even though i'm fucking girls behind my parents backs and doing things with females i shouldn't be doing with them. I'm afarid to tell them because of what they may think but then why would they want to konw what i do with girls. Thats like me wanting to know what my parents do when they have sex.

i understand how you feel.my family is the same way not only is my family homophpic they are conservative.so i'mlike you i have no support but,instead of wearing gaypride cloth maybe its time 4 you 2 have an heart2heart with them.let them know that you are very serious about your feeling.and love should know no=color,race,or sex,love is love.

      p.s. there is an big diffence between being "black&gay"there is nothing wrong with being black but,alot of people feel that there is something wrong with being gay.

Why do I only attract older

Why do I only attract older women. I can't find a girlfriend. Yes, I do look older than I really am, but damn. I'm hardly ever attracted to anyone my age anyway, but when a 27 year old says "I wanna f*ck the hell out of you" they're not expecting to find out that you're only 17. And when they do, they run away as fast as they can. Which is understandable. If I was in their place I would do the same.

jennbswifey's picture

I'm just the Opposite

I only seem to attract younger women (says something about me) who are interested in me for a short bit, then don't have the 'balls' to say hey I think we are good as friends or go chase some young thing closer to their age, likes, similiarities (might be why you are having a hard time finding older women.  Also not being 18 yet is also something else). 

 And I won't even start the RANT about the women I do like, who are in my age group who tell me what a wonderful, thoughtful, lovely, amazing, cute, adorable person I am then proceed to say that's why we can't be more.  Yeah 'cause those qualities no one wants for the possiblity of something deeper

Oh man. Ranting is a good

Oh man. Ranting is a good thing to go by right now.

To sum up the past 8 months of my life, I basically left my girlfriend of a year and some odd months, got together with a girl I completely fell head over heels for, started off amazing, she broke up with me in September because she still had feelings for her ex (some guy I've grown to loathe, without ever even meeting him once), got back together like a week later, broke up in November, kind of got back together two weeks after, were patching things up and taking things slowly until about a week or two ago she decided she wanted to date him as well as date me and I snapped and told her to fucking choose already - I put up with her crap with him for too long. In the end, she chose neither. But, lo and behold, we can't not talk to eachother. We can't cut eachother off completely. It doesn't work. So now, we're basically seeing eachother behind everyone's back. If my friends found out, they'd kill her then come after me. If her friends found out, they'd kill her and...well, I don't know what they'd do to me.

My rant is basically, WHY THE HELL CAN'T I JUST FIND A NORMAL GIRL THAT LOVES ME AS MUCH AS I LOVE HER, WANTS TO BE WITH ME UNCONDITIONALLY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, BELIEVES IN MONOGAMY, WANTS ME THE WAY I WANT THEM AND IS CUTE AND FUNNY BUT CAN BE SEXY AND CHARMING WHEN THE TIME'S RIGHT?! WHY THE HELL IS THIS SO HARD?! WHY DID I HAVE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL THAT CAUSES ME SO MUCH PAIN AND DRAMA?! WHAT THE HELL AM I HOLDING ON TO!?

I'm a fucking idiot.

Love is never easy

Hey Cheers,

your not a fucking idiot, its just love is never easy, and we don't really get to choose who we fall for, cause god knows if we did I wouldn't have fallen for a girl who lived in colorado when I live here in Australia, a girl who got herself in so much trouble trying to get out here to me that I don't think she ever will... so keep your chin up life will sort itself out (yeah I know how dodgy that sounds)...

Oh man, tell me about it.

Oh man, tell me about it. When I was told love can hurt, I never believed it because, well, love is supposed to be like an ultimate high of some sort, right? But I wish I listened to everyone. I wish I was prepared. I just keep falling for this girl more and more. I've told her I wouldn't wait around for her anymore and what am I doing? The exact opposite. I'm still seeing her under everyone's noses, just to see if anything will happen. *sigh*

I'm sure life will sort itself out for sure - for you and for me. Love will cross miles. It'll seem impossible at times, but I suppose you just need to hold to hope.

...When did I get to corny? Oh my.
jennbswifey's picture

Cheers

Don't think you're alone ( I just posted another rant like few mins ago). But your last paragraph has been me for the last 2 years since I got divorced, got into the scene found a woman who I didn't even realize I fell that hard and that quickly for who basically did the same thing to me (except she jerked me around for 6 months then started dating a mutual person we knew)....so where are the normal  girls?  I have no idea...and you are not a fucking idiot
Cheers's picture

Haha, thanks for that. I

Haha, thanks for that. I know it sounds weird, but it sorta did ease me up a bit reading that - merely because I have felt alone for a while now. Most of my friends have NEVER been through something like this, primarily because they'd be quicker to say "fuck it" than "maybe we can work something out..." so they can't quite relate. It's comforting knowing someone understands. But man, this totally sucks. I'm still involved with her and I have no idea why. I don't get what we're doing. I think we're both rolling with whatever comes just to see how things go. Part of me is just sticking with her until I find someone completely amazing - someone I deserve - but the bigger part of me is still with her because I'm completely in love with her, even though I shouldn't be. But how can I not be when we talk everyday, tell eachother we love the other and constantly mention how we miss eachother? I've just dug myself into this large hole and I don't know how to get out of it. Though, for what it's worth, I don't hold onto any hopes with her, which I'm taking as a good thing. That way, I've nothing to be disappointed about in the end and nothing to really look forward to either. Actually, no. I lie. That's depressing. *sigh*

Haha, thanks for not thinking I'm a complete idiot. But, sometimes, I can't help but feel like one.

jennbswifey's picture

Hey Cheers

Let me put it like this...I knew logically from the get-go it would be messy.  Funny thing is I know longer converse with her (it's just better for me) but a part of me still is interested in what she's doing, how she is, but I know it's better for me to keep my distance. And I know that if she were to come to me this day and say "she wanted to be with me..." or that "she only wanted to be a f** buddy" I'd probably give in after a while because this person will always own a bit of my heart.  I know that's totally stupid, and bad and I know I wouldn't be able to help it. So guess that's sad and depressing..so know you're not alone. There's  a person in TX who totally understands

Cheers's picture

Let's keep on rowin'!

Oh man. It's good to know I'm not alone in this boat of mine. I tried the whole not talking to her thing. We both did. And we made it like a day until she called me, I caved and picked up. I just don't get how this happens. I mean, I'm totally aware that I'm being screwed over emotionally by this girl, but I keep letting it happen.

Maybe I'm just a masochist.

you're not a fucking idiot, your just a girl in love............

and sometimes, you have to go through a lot of shit to get to where you want to be.  she came back to you, that's good.  why not just enjoy what you have, while you have it? and as far as her friends and your friends, forget about them RIGHT NOW! it's not about them, it's about you and your girlfriend and what makes you two happy....hang in there, it'll be alright.

Assumptions

We had a German test today, and it was about how a man's brain differs from a woman's brain. At a certain point it was about whether a woman is also attracted to a man's intelligence etc., and it went on like that for a while: constantly about the question why women are attracted to men.
And I was so annoyed with the assumptions made. 
I know most women like men, and that's ok. Sometimes, I even do so too. But lately, assumptions like that have really been starting to annoy me. It's like they 'forget' me, or something. Ridiculous, I know. But I just feel that way.
Though I laugh when my horoscope says: 'You'll meet prince charming this week!'
