I dated my first boy...About that long-crush thing. I dated my first boyfriend from the time I was 17 to 22, and he dumped me for another girl. In retrospect, he had an alternate the whole time we were dating. <br /><br />He found me on Facebook 2 or 3 weeks after I got on there. Long story short, I didn't get my revenge, but after a few intense chatting, in the very wee hours for him, I found him an intolerable bore and unfriended him in 3 weeks. 29 years of self-doubt and self-whatever disappeared. <br /><br />Like I said, you're in the thick of it, and it is utterly serious, but remember in the back of your mind somewhere that these things may happen.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-82532103933325194732010-01-14T20:06:17.212+00:002010-01-14T20:06:17.212+00:00Finally got through it, mate!

Gee, a skinny male art student for manual labour - that's as bad as me trying to get a part as an elf in LOTR/Hobbit movies! <br /><br />"What on earth/life" bit, I'll be 52 in 2.5 months and I'm still asking myself that, but whoa, you have a gift - you have those two friends who know you so well and care about you!!! <br /><br />Listen to everybody, and remember, some of us envy that you are on this course, you know. Not that we don't understand your pain, but what a great long-term plan! <br /><br />And looking for misery - a Scottish thing? How about being a short/fat, middle-aged, Japanese female, who went to a Catholic convent school and had a tenuous relationship with her Dad? <br /><br />I can so easily tell you it won't matter in 20 years, but you're there and I'm here so it DOES matter to you! And you're in the thick of it. So chin up! Tackle that misery first. And find some loom time. <br /><br />On to the next post!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-14736878734869414152010-01-12T03:57:06.933+00:002010-01-12T03:57:06.933+00:00aaah, yes welshboi, but you're forgetting one ...aaah, yes welshboi, but you're forgetting one very important thing, a very important and inescapable part of my psychology, which is this (and i really shouldn't have to point this out):<br /><br />if i ever see ANY oppurtunity to be thouroughly miserable i will grab it with both hands and hold it dearly to my bosom. hooray for misery! hooray for unfulfilled striving! hooray for not being happy with what you've got even if what you've got is a magic cow that shits roast potatoes and pisses beer!<br /><br />you know i'm right. oh, and as it's you, i just thought i should point out:<br /><br />You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong about everything.

When I went back to Uni for a law course in 2004 I discovered textile books in the University library - I got an extra education to the one I'd signed up for and maybe it'll take me somewhere?Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978632925950937140.post-48468947340033215222010-01-04T18:10:02.813+00:002010-01-04T18:10:02.813+00:00Sounds really bad.

I think the ...Hope it is a happy new year for you! I think the frustrations you have with the course are just how it is with education, you have to meet the course requirements and that means you can't go wandering off exploring other directions.<br /><br />I totally, utterly agree about computers, having grown up with them and although being good at using them has always helped me in the job market. Given the choice of use a computer or a pencil & paper, the paper wins everytime.<br /><br />I'm hoping to get up to Edinburgh before too long, if I can get something arranged I'll let you know and maybe we can meet up, put the world to rights a bit and talk weaving stuff.<br /><br />As regards the "what on earth am I doing with my life?" I find it's best to start from the point that life is futile and so anything slightly worthwhile or fun has some value. At least you are doing a course learning new skills and new ways of doing things. I'm unemployed, watching my money slip away and trying not to lose my nerve. Best to just live in the moment.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.com
