This is a whining thread →[More:]

Ok, me first:

I don't have any money and I don't have time to get a second job to subsidize my crazy first job which takes all my time and energy and makes me crazy and now I can't pay my bills and I'm probably going to have to move out of my house where I have cool roommates and can have boys sleep over to living with my uncle again and feeling like I'm living with my parents and not be able to have parties or anything and I also have to start paying back my student loans again soon because my deferral runs out in a month.

And I really want some candy. Waaaaaaah

Within the last 24 hours, I realized that my entire life has been a series of self-sabotaging decisions that destroyed my hopes for a family, my financial future, and both my mental and physical health. For the first time I have admitted to myself that I have morbid fears of being hit, being bit (by people) and getting knifed, fears of confrontation, criticism, and that I am bothering people, and fears of both failure and success.

The good news is I am saving a bundle on my car insurance, mainly cuz I don't have a car. ;-P

Tomorrow I look for a therapist. Sheesh!

I'm 35 years old and I live like a college student. I have no real furniture of which to speak. My apartment is a fucking embarassment. I'm not living up to my potential. My city, which I love so much, is being taken over by fratboy-fuckwits and their sub-literate ilk. I feel alone a lot of the time. My formal education was kind of lame. Despite my lousy economic circumstances, many of my neighbors think I am a yuppie shit who's out to raise their rents and drive them out of the neighborhood. I have to deal with little thug-wannabes playing sidewalk chicken with me, testing me, at least every other day. I have a million and one dreams about the things I want to do and see but I keep running into financial obstacles.

(But thanks to about three years of therapy, I'm actually dealing with all of the above problems MUCH better than I ever have before. I'm not depressed anymore. I'm meeting smart, cool people through Metafilter. And sometimes I actually find myself thinking "What is this thing called optimism, anyway?")

(So good luck with the therapy, mischief. Stay strong.)

I look at it as a fun way to meet smart chicks.

I'm fat, overly sober and someone is kicking me from the inside.

Kicking from the inside? That would drive me nuts.

I was afraid someone would say that.

I am sick of people who don't respect my opinion. You can disagree all you want, but a bit of respect would be nice. I'm sick of the rising tide of Islamaphobia in my country and how it's now infecting people who are my friends, who should know better. I'm also sick of people who say "Islamaphobia". It's racism. There may be a religious overtone but once you get down to it, it's racism.

And I'm sick of stubborn people.

Minor whinge: the bane of my life at the moment are press officers, whose sole resposibility is to tell the me and other hacks about stuff, but who choose to not tell me about stuff until it is too fucking late to cover said stuff, then 'phone me up and complain about the lack of coverage of aforementioned stuff. Bastards.
