So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Twelve. Monday, February 8, 2010 @ 4:21 pm Well, that was a too-conveniently-placed "I'm pregnant" phonecall. Lying sack of shit! And a nutter to boot: "I could get rid of it... but I could also go through with it just so I could have a piece of you with me always." Don't get fooled, kid. Fucking shenanigans from a psycho bitch who's desperately trying to keep her claws in you. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Eleven. Sunday, February 7, 2010 @ 5:00 pm Just got off the phone with mom. She probably thinks more than ever that I'm part of a gay three-person "couple." Comment! (1) | Recommend! Ten. Saturday, February 6, 2010 @ 9:44 pm I love the boys to death, but when I get caught in the middle of one of their stupid disagreements, I get annoyed. And when Nick asks me where we disappeared to for "a long time," and then says in a very childish voice, "What, did you have a heart-to-heart with Alex?", I get pissed off. And when all of this asinine shit happens between them and ends up in Alex leaving the party without telling anyone and driving home in the rain while possibly not-quite-sober-enough, I get worried. And I feel (partially) culpable... because I betrayed Nick's trust in me and told Alex what was going on in his twin's head. Fuck. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Nine [and a half {EDIT}]. Thursday, February 4, 2010 @ 8:40 pm Hannah pleaded: "Make Ranor happy." Alex and I stood there silently, in defiance of her request. Alex didn't quite know how to do that. And I knew that he couldn't. Not in the way that alleviated the type of sadness I felt tonight. The love he has for me isn't the kind of love that would. Not at that moment, at least. EDIT: Someone else in my program today asked me (in all seriousness): "Why does everyone aim to get published? I just want my degree!" This is a girl who wants her Ph.D. after she gets done with the MS. How the fuck does she expect to make a living as a Ph.D. if she doesn't even understand the importance of publishing? Fuck, I even doubt her ability to survive a doctoral program if she doesn't even have the right mindset going into it. Do us all a favor and don't let your application take away review time from serious applicants who know what the hell this is all about. Idiot. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Eight. Tuesday, February 2, 2010 @ 10:10 pm One worry after another. Got things figured out thesis-wise (for now)... but it looks like I'll be taking another semester at the very least... more likely taking another year. That's an additional year to accumulate student loan debt. I need to move out of here. They're reducing rent... by $150/month apparently... but I'm not sure it's enough. Not if I'm staying here another year without any income save for my underpaid teaching appointment. Oh, well. I guess I'd better get used to it. Academia tends to not pay it's researchers and professors what they deserve... especially considering how much time, emotion, and money those people put into getting their educations in the first place. Fuck my life choices. Comment! (1) | Recommend! Seven. Monday, February 1, 2010 @ 8:34 pm Six. Saturday, January 30, 2010 @ 3:51 pm Nicholas: ok well, do you want me to hit you up before i go there Ranor: If you feel like it. Nicholas: so optomistic Ranor: Sorry. I'm feeling kinda fucked, but I'm not averse to a visit. Nicholas: what if we split a brownie Ranor: Get your ass down here. LOL Nicholas: ok.. maybe i'll have some ideas too Ranor: That sounds... ominous. Comment! (3) | Recommend! Five. Tuesday, January 26, 2010 @ 12:01 am Thanks for making me cry tonight, asshole. No, it's the good crying. (Thank you, Nicholas.) Comment! (0) | Recommend! |
