The Thread of Disappointment!
Posts
Every day that I wake up and find out that I am still stuck in Iraq is a disappointment.
But you have to be happy at the same time. I know it's possible because that's how I live my life. It's pretty monotonous and its only going to get harder, so I'm quite content right now.
So basically, the medication that was supposed to help her may end up killing her.

Also that girl who I met in my sociology class last term and we got on really well, but every time I tried to ask her out she'd be busy, and then after the semester was over she never returned my emails, but she never gave any other indication of not liking me. That was disappointing.
i was disappointed that i couldnt edit my post. i was waiting for someone to point it out though so now i feel better.
Y'know, I've been hearing something similar for the last year, and nothing has come of it. Some people just like to run their mouth off about shit.
I'm gonna with Hellgate: London and Age of Conan for really big disappointments though.
Fucking hell. I was doing so well at forgetting about that atrocity.
what a waste of 50 bucks. never gonna play AoC so i really have no comment
The first one involves a friend. For a while now I had been getting the feeling that I was the one putting the most effort into the friendship (ever since she got into a relationship) and was starting to feel as if the only reason she talked to me was because I was trying to keep our conversations going. So I decided to stop making an effort, and hope she would bother to make the effort. Close to three months now and not one word from her. So yeah, pretty disappointing.
The second one happened friday. I was waiting for the shuttle that takes me to my car from school, and I spotted a girl from my last class. She actually sits like 2 empty seats away from me. I tried to strike up a conversation, and she pretty much just ignores me without being rude about it. Another disappointment.
Well, you know, you could just go die in a fire.
Have you tried growing a beard?
So I applied for the first opening. Nope, a girl who said she didn't want that job, but wanted to use it as a stepping stone for something else got it. Less qualified but more flirty and bubbly.
Due to other factors, one more person leaves and another opening occurs. They have to re-open the application process, and two more people who swore they hadn't wanted the job, and hadn't applied earlier, applied. Then another person leaves, and two more spots open up. Due to bureaucracy, they fill one spot and have to open up applications for the next two spots that open up.
The first spot is filled by a lady who isn't me. They come up with bullshit reasons, but the real one was that she was close friends with the guy making the decisions. But! I am told I was the top person they interviewed, I was probably getting one of the other two spots opening up, and they were training me for the promotion.
Two more people, who hadn't applied before, apply this time. Of course they are the ones who get the promotions. Not due to being qualified, but for very soft "they are better team players, aka we're better friends with them" reasons.
Yeah, I should have a new job soon. Just have to negotiate my pay.
Seriously though, people are probably the cause of most dissapointments in life. However I find that

always helps me keep things in perspective.
Yeah, after a couple of days of my dad and I being all abloobloobloo, things are better now. I swear to got my mom seriously got on the insane-train to crazy-town. She was blaming not only my dad but ME for her unhappiness, and it was awful.
But s'all good now. She's still fucking nuts, but actually thinking rationally now.

It seems like she was completely unsympathetic, cold and uncaring. While my dad and I were sobbing, she just sat there and either laughed, or sat silently completely unmoved. It was so fucking weird. She didn't shed a tear.
Her reasons for wanting a divorce were: She felt invisible, the house was a mess, and my dad's 'bad temper' frightened her and made her think of her boyfriend in HS that beat the shit out of her (my dad getting angry is him cursing a bit, then getting up to go somewhere else to calm down. Not once has he said anything mean towards my mom, nor has he ever laid a mean hand on her. he's actually very calm and easy going).
My dad, even though he did nothing wrong, started sobbing and was telling her he can change, and she flat out said she didn't believe him (because her boyfriend in HS that beat her said the same thing...), and that she didn't love him any more. She also told him that he frightens ME when he gets angry. I was never once afraid of my dad, so she was trying to attack him and use things that I haven't even thought, against him, which is just fucking awful.
Then she turned to me and told me the house was a shit hole, and that I'm lazy and never do anything (I work and go to college full time.....).
Well, now apparently she loves him again, and decided last night to 'give him a second chance'
I seriously think she should go to a psychiatrist. Either that, or I should. Because honestly, this is getting very hard for me to handle. I thank God every day that I'm more like my father. It's going to be hard to forgive my mom after this shit.

I am the worst kisser EVER.
