What's Bothering You?

God damn, Season 4 was such a disaster. I was so happy about the ending with the wedding and all and then it started to become so.. berk. It literally made me mad, lol. Especially the very last episode. What on earth did the script writer take when coming up with all of this? I'm so glad that there was no "Choose John or Rosie" or I would've literally flipped the table in front of me

I’m writing fleshed out bios for all of my novel’s characters. I’m pretty happy with how my protagonist is fleshed out, but I’m concerned about the antagonists. They’re loosely based on my abusive ex and high school bullies. All of these characters are reprehensible people. They harass the protagonist constantly because they think he deserves it.

What I’m concerned about is potentially making them one note. I don’t want to make them people who are jerks 24/7. That’s just not how people act. I’ve tried to make them more realistic by making them decent to people they like, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

Do they have ambitions other than being jerks? I do writing to. It's fun and creative! And even when writing side-note characters I will flesh them out with their own goals in life. If they have a goal in the story and a personality that isn't just 'put this character here to make protagonist miserable' you will have a nicely fleshed out character.

ofc as soon as my dad gets home he starts to tell me I'm cleaning wrong and getting frustrated for seemingly no reason at all lol. this is why I only clean when he's at work.

also there are way too many people in my family trying to give me life advice when they couldn't care less about hat my actual current situation is and would rather assume what my problems are instead of actually listening to what I say. I'm so tired of it. if I were younger I would think I'm a failure because I can't just do what they say I should be able to do, nowadays I know it's bc of my disability but my family seems to be like "don't let your disability get in the way" like *****???? they don't call it a "dis-ability" for nothing, it literally means lack of ability.

week or so ago, i mentioned how the woman i was in contact with at my therapy organization tried to call me despite knowing how much of a trigger those are for me. i emailed politely saying, "hey, don't do That, you sent me into a really bad panic attack, if you do not want to explain the differences of 1:1 cbt to me over email, i will come to an appointment in person like you suggested". finally get an email back from the organization (not her specifically anymore) essentially telling me to f off and discuss it with completely different local organizations and get back to them with my decision, including one that is currently only over the phone. lovely. i hate it here.

Outlook's dumb "auto-fill" system when typing and idk how to turn it off. Like I was typing a reply to this store thanking them for helping me filling out that address format thing and how to remove it when ordering and it kept suggesting **** I obviously didn't want to have in the e-mail... Outlook is so damn useless.

People were spraying poison over the weeds in my backyard earlier so I cannot play on my swingset for the next week

I love working in an awkward situation because this narcissist woman was treating me like crap and I dared fight back. There’s no winning with these types of people, I just need to just run away fast. You’ll just be this person that they’ll talk crap about forever and labeled as “lazy” or “two faced” even though I worked hard and put up with a lot of crap. You’re just a distorted version of yourself to them because they’re incapable of looking at you as a person with independent thoughts and feelings. I’m not putting up with toxic people anymore I’m tired of it.

I have a really bad headache for some reason. again. I wish I knew what tf is causing them cause they're frequent and very annoying to deal with, especially since I ran out of Excedrin.

also tried so hard to clean the basement room, but it's a room that my friend (who lived with us for a while) was staying in and she's a very untidy person so the floor was just disgusting and there was dog hair all over the bed and it smelled bad in there. I mopped for probably an hour and the floor still looks bad but not nearly as bad as it did. also cleaned up the bed and doused it with pet odor eliminator. now I'm exhausted, I wish I had more energy to get other things done that I want to do

C'mon man, straight-up tell me your opinions on me so I can move on.

Every time I go over my mom’s house I get stressed out. That’s why I don’t go that often. I know that sounds bad… just some of the stuff she does. Idk.

Spoiler: cat death

my tabby kitten is being put to sleep tonight, on the 3rd month anniversary of my late cat’s death.

I don't have any words that can make it better, but I'm so, so sorry xara. ❤

there was a shooting at a college kind of close today. it’s about the same size college as the one where i work, which is just so unsettling to me.

thank you so much. yes, it was one of my two kittens; the tabby (mazikeen) was the one who had fluid in her belly and was much, much sicker than her sister, despite both of them being diagnosed with FIP (originally thought to be FIV) last month.

alize (my other kitten and mazikeen’s sister) is thankfully doing well and is still completely asymptomatic. i’m not sure how mazikeen’s absence is going to affect her, but emotionally and health-wise, she’s okay right now. thank you for asking and for taking the time to respond.

I don't have any words that can make it better, but I'm so, so sorry xara. ❤

thank you so much.

That's really scary, I'm glad you're safe!

Oh no, I don't know what to say about this other than wanting to give you virtual hugs. It must be really tough for you right now, xara.

My sleep schedule is a complete mess. I fall asleep between 2-3 in the morning and wake up at 11. I can get away with it since my classes are in the afternoon, but it’s not ideal. Whenever I try to fight it I either fall back asleep and/or stay wide awake when I go to bed earlier.
