You know I am kind of sorry that I replied to this because I was proven worng on seveal things. And you know that I am never wrong. Well, except back when I was a little-bitty baby TEEEEE! and messed my diapers once. But that even might be urban legend.
First, I thought for sure the anonymous feature was going to be disabled when I hit "post comment". Wrong.
Then I thought there were two possibilities of your reaction. The first was a 90% probability that you would puprosely ignore my reply. Wrong. And the 10% possibility was that you would MF me in a most vicious way.....not like that has never happened before. LOL Wrong again.
I actually had totally lost touch with your LJ since I thought you had disbanded it 2 years ago. A mutual friend started a new LJ (one guess who that is LOL) and she asked me what your LJ username was. I honestly could not remember. In January, I saw that she had you linked up on her Freinds list and I was shocked to see that you had actually updated it twice in late 2008. That is when I knew about your dad and if I had known that you were informed by email on replies I would have replied on that 2 month old topic.
Instead, and I hate to get morbid, I checked the Flint Journal online under the obituaries PRAYING that I did not see your dad's name. I obviously knew your last name and as I scrolled through that name I was literally holding my breath. That was not a pleasent thing to do but I did it evey few weeks.
I was so much hoping to hear that you had graduated from U of M. UGH! I am so sad to hear that because I know how big a deal that is nationally and especially in your state to graduate from there. Please don't give up on getting your degree. You seriously are one of the naturally smartest people I have ever run across and that would be a serious disservice to yourself if you didn't finish up.
But what is this item 3 that you speak of? I am totally at a loss!
Plus, I figured that Ma Will shouldn't feel all that special thinking that she was the only person to get really PO'd at you. I am here to take the heat off her and nobody could consistantly tick me off like you could. And you had a serious knack for doing that, I assure you! How well I know THAT! LMAO!
Just one thing on your dad. I know that you two have had a dicey relationship at least up until the time we lost touch. If things are still the same do whatever you can to attempt to patch things up with him even if the effort is futile. If the worst happens with him you DO NOT want that guilt hanging over your head for the rest of your life. Trust me.
I certainly have missed you too and believe me when I say that I always considered you a friend even when we parted ways. I told you that years ago and hopefully you'll believe it now. Sometime down the road I'll explain why I backed out of the friendship but it won't be here on your LJ.
And I think you are kind of at a Crossroads in life and you need to make the right decisions from here on out. It is never too late to right yourself even at the ripe old age of 23. But all kidding aside, I know this has been a rough 5 years for you in many, many ways and you don't want to be in the same state when you are 28. And you have friends that will help you along the way and I know there is alot more of them than just me.....that is for sure.
And thank you for responding. I really never thought you would. And update this LJ more frequently than 3 times in 2 years would you? LOL
GAWD! That was a rather lengthy reply and I never even ripped you for those tats! *GROWL/SIGH X4*
Re: A real friendallfiredup86May 26 2009, 20:27:47 UTC
ahhh, story of my life, this "crossroads" thing. i so wish i could just take a deep breath, snap my fingers, and see exactly what i'm supposed to do with life. i know it totally doesn't work that way, but geezohman i wish it did.
i'm kind of crazy, but i'm not an asshole, so of course i responded :) i still considered you a friend, too, so when i read your comment, i knew who you were and kind of sighed with relief that you were still around.
the dad thing is touchy. we were pretty close (i finally realized he wasn't such a goober) but when he was diagnosed, it sort of went downhill. and not just with me, with everyone. he's just angry all the time. feels like crap, and i don't blame him. it just makes it hard to deal with him sometimes, idk.
eh, i talked about tats forever, so i'm sure you can't be *that* surprised. i think the dumbest thing i've done, though, was get my hips pierced. holy f*ck that hurt, and they're stuck in there for good, or until i go to the dr, admit i was a moron, and she removes them surgically. haha. oops.
i still don't think i'm that smart *growl/sigh*, and i know i need to finish, but i'm also seriously wasting money on school that i'm not going to and therefore getting kicked out of. it's not worth my time if i don't want to be there. i just have to sit my parents down now and explain that to them...eep. it's not like i'm quitting life, tho, just taking a break from school (and i know you're thinking 'omg ppl who take breaks NEVER go back', but i really feel like i'm working this out logically and i think i will...i've always been someone that appreciates an education, but i'm wasting mine right now). i'm going to move up to senior management (fingers crossed, there) at lowe's, make some money, go back. i just don't know when...but i do know that i feel calmer now being out of school, and i need some serious me-time to really think about what i want and how i want to get it.
and really, making $100,000+/yr really isn't that awful, education or no lol.

I know you are not an A-hole or I would not have responded after a 2 year absence. I did think you might have been pissed at what I did by disappearing so that is why I thought you might not reply. I was going though a tough time then and thought our friendship was waning and I did not need any distractions or bad vibes so I just dropped out. Probably not the best play, but at the time I thought it was the way to go and I apologize for doing it that way.
I'm so glad that there was some repairing of your relationship with your dad even though it is understandably more difficult with him being so sick now. I know you two have had your problems but you KNOW that he loves you to death and maybe has had a hard time showing it.
OK, don't think that this is a "go along to get along" deal with you because I just returned but I actually think it is a GOOD idea for you to take some time off from school right now since you feel the way you feel. You do need to step back and think about things before just going through the motions of going to school. You need to "find yourself" (gawd, I hate that term but it does fit here) before moving forward.
And before you think I've turned too agreeable and niiiiiiiiice, if I ever run into you, you and I are going to trade hands over those tats! Like in an alley or a locked cage. Couldn't you have just rocked a belly button ring.....especially those dangly ones! Those things RULE! LOL But noooooooo......you had to go the tat route! Some chicks, I just don't get!
OK, even I had never heard of hip piericngs. Well, I've seen them I just thought it was another routine place to get pierced and not a special procedure. But I do have two questions on this. They don't pierce the hip bone do they? pleasesayno. And why is it so hard to remove them if the bone is not pierced? There is excess flesh there so I would thing they would be fairly simple to remeove.
So I need sandpaper for the tats and a hacksaw for the hip piercing. I can get both of those at Lowes, right? Particularly YOUR Lowes? If you piss me and/or Ma Will off again, we will descend upon you like birds of prey with half the Lowes hardware department in hand and remove all these accoutraments you have acquired in the last two years. LOL!
That is actually not that bad of an idea come to think of it.
And to prove again that I am still the same disagreeable guy I was before, I will definately disagree on your take that you are not that smart. You are wacky as all get out, but as far as natural intelligence you have that in spades.
