So, I've been gone a couple of months...

[Aaya-Tan]

Oh dear god.

I've missed this place so much.

I am SO SORRY for that random disappearence. It's totally not my fault. Honest.

I've had so much to deal with, namely real life events that I'm going to go ahead and get into right now.

I've been nearly killed twice in the past couple months. @@ I blame my most likely now ex-friend for that. She apparently has no brain and likes to date the psychos. And get empregnated by them so we have to deal with them constantly.

But anyway, also, I've been out of town due to loss of yet another family member. Cousin, once more. Not to mention another getting put in jail. It was awful. I've been trying my best to get back into the swing of things.

Also I've been job hunting, and not getting any kind of call backs. No one likes a fat white mexican. ;A; I HATE TENNESSEE. Anyway. *koff* I've also been trying like hell to get into a Technological school that's out here where I live.

I finally got in. OMGYAY. I'll be finally working toward getting a job that I'm actually GOOD AT as opposed to twiddling my thumb in a community college praying I don't break someone's face in from sheer rage.

Anyway, lemme just start from May 30th. I've posted a journal here and there on mangabullet or whatever, but I might as well update you guys here what's been happening.

May 30th, overall, was the worst day of the year I've had since my uncle died. (smiley)

I was supposed to hang out with two different friends that day, right? Well, first, the friend I was gonna hang out with that evening ended up going completely broke due to her mother wracking up so much debt with the family that any spare cash had to go to the bills and everything. Not even gas money, so she's hardly leaving her house.

That and it took her until 9 pm at night to find a babysitter for her kid. So I had no evening plans in the end.

Then the friend who was supposed to have a lil somethinsomethin up for me during the day? I called that morning to find out when I was supposed to come over, they were still asleep. No big deal, right?

Well, I call again at 4 pm after getting really irked and she's STILL. ASLEEP. She had just had her boyfriend fly in the previous night, so she was all 'omg we stayed up so late talking last night'.

Twelve or 1 pm I can understand, but, 4 pm? I was really pissed off. I called an hour later and they still hadn't left to do their errands they had to do before I could come over.

I mean, I've known this girl for six years, I've always gone out of my way for her, even dealt with her mother, whom has some kind of anxiety disorder so she chatters like a set of jitter teeth, I swear. She never stops talking. She'll keep you forty minutes just telling you goodbye.

I helped her organize every party she'd had in six years, I'd chaperoned every party she'd had in six years, I've been there for her for every anniversary of her father's death, every death of her pets, everything. And I couldn't even get the consideration of so much as waking up at a reasonable hour? She made plans with me far before she met her new boy toy for this, but once again she put me on the backburner.

So I called again, and about ten minutes later she called me back and told me she was home. It was Six pm at night.

I'd wasted my entire day waiting by the phone for her to call me. So technically, I didn't have a birthday.

I took some cash out of my bank account after telling her exactly how I felt about this situation, and I went to movie gallery to get some movies. I ended up finding Paprika for 3 bucks and Bolt for seven, both preplayed, but hey, Paprika is one of my all time favorite movies.

Then her mother calls me, apologizing and yakking my ear off, and I told HER how I felt, and how her daughter had actually been treating me. I also told her I have a 3 strike system, after 3 strikes, I do not look back.

She had used her first strike, and I should have counted it as two. It's my birthday. MY. BIRTHDAY.

She ruined it almost entirely.

Anyway, her mother begged for me come over, so I do, but only for a few minutes due to the fact I just got pizza and some other depression foods, and between the three of them, they devised the ultimate suck up plan.

They're taking me out to dinner, a movie, and shopping on Friday. I don't pay for a single thing. I wasn't going to, mind you, but regardless, they're going to pick me up and everything.

I told my mother that I guess I guilt tripped them into it, and, for the first time in my life, my mother told me that, 'No, you didn't guilt trip them. They were wrong in doing this to you, you deserve a lot better than what you've got.'

Note, she's said it before, but, this was the first time I think she genuinely meant it to me. I don't know.

Anyway, Sunday my grandmother and great aunt and I all went out to see Night of the Museum: Battle for the Smithsonian and LOVED IT. I suggest everyone go see it right now.

Then we came home and my folks surprised me by getting the closest members to get together and we all ate cheesecake and had a really really tiny birthday party. Haha, it could have been worse, I know, I could have gotten into a car-wreck or whatever on my birthday.

But well.

Even my grandmother, who doesn't believe in Karma, said mine sucked. =A+;

So, my friend sent me this subpoena on June 25, right?

For her kid. She's going through a custody battle.

So yeah, I'm going through all this bullshit, knowing I have to get there at 9 am didn't help my mood, along with the fact that I was starting a horrendous monthly flow and am still reeling due to a horrendous situation with a job that I had for a little while and ended up having to leave entirely.

But yeah, I'm at the courthouse at 8 : 30 am, and the others come around that time as well. We wait for about an hour and a half.

The 'father' doesn't show.

We call up her lawyer.

Apparently the time for the session was changed from 9 am to 1pm. And everyone on JOSH'S side was informed.

Everyone on OUR SIDE, however, was not.

Even though her lawyer knew.

So, we had to sit on our butts for four hours. Half of the witnesses had to leave.

I had no choice.

We get in, her sister bullshits the entire time and really screws us over due to the fact that she said she takes more care of the child than my friend does, and to really add to it?

The 'petitioner's lawyer was also working for my own mother.

I scared the shit out of that scrawny little man. The entire court room was a joke. The judge was one of those easily Judge Judy Rip Off people that rules in whomever didn't piss him off for no reason.

My friend's lawyer royally. Pissed. Him. Off.

So guess what?

He's got visitation rights.

The drug addict, abusive, lying, conniving, stalker ex.

Has legal rights to keep a 9-10 month old baby for three days in his mother's house. Whom, actually, is a retired prostitute.

No limitations. No supervision.

This child is going to probably end up in a dumpster somewhere suffocated. Or worse. And we can't do a damn thing about it.

Oh and my friend is utterly and completely retarded. So, we went to court for her and everything? We lost her case, so she keeps dating this one loser asshole who's actually RELATED to her through MARRIAGE (I don't care, if they say they're a cousin, they're a cousin).

He has this huge fcking hissy fit saying she's cheating on him with her ex that he saw in court because he keeps calling and shit.

And here's even the WORSE news.

She's pregnant.

By her cousin.

She's having her own cousin.

And she's dragged me into this drama bull shit once more.

So yeay.

To top it all off, she's supposed to put the child up for adoption. She's not, she decided last minute that she was going to keep it. Then when I asked her about it on the phone she hung up on me.

SHE. HUNG. UP. ON. ME. AFTER ALL THE.. Ffff.. Just not going to get into that.

Also yeah, that's about all the crap that's been happening other than job hunting online, looking for a way to get into school, going out of town, dealing with psycho ex's of ex-friends, and all manner of other crap. So please, don't hurt me for being gone.

[Mella]

I think it's time for Mella to kick a few guys where the sun don't shine D;<
I missed you Dx

[Aaya-Tan]

Mel-Mellll~ I'm sorryyyy. ;A; I've just been so busy with life screwing me over so much forgive meeeee. ;A;

[Mella]

I forgive you. I haven't been getting on Midorea that much either Dx
Just give me the address' of the people who piss you off and I can get something....arranged....xD

[Aaya-Tan]

Please don't tempt me. ;A;

Seriously. I've been so close to just dumping everything all together. Two different friends ruined my summer, believe me.

[Mella]

I hate how friends can do that to you. They're your friends! Friends aren't just meant to take crap from another friend >3>

[Yaneci DeNovi]

I dun rember your name [I suck at names and I vanish from Mido a lot] I do remember your signature.

Anyway, I totally woulda missed you if I'd been here to miss you.
That freaking sucks. How old is this ex-friend of yours?

[Aaya-Tan]

@ Melmel = Exactly. She would drag me out in the middle of the night to go see her damn boyfriend, then she'd lie to her family.. I'm starting to understand why they dislike her so much. She never does what's she's told, only what she wants, and then it's always something stupid or behind their backs.

@ Yaneci- I remember yours, as well. Hah, I was posting a lot in the original event thread for the Lotus festival. One of those insane long posters. xD

And she's 23, she's actually older than me, yet I'm the one who's always ending up telling her what she needs to do..

[Mella]

Aaya:: =____=
I relationship where you have to lie to someone close to you is never good. And did she ever consider how awkward it would be for you if it was only you, her and her boyfriend? :/ I hate selfish people D:

[Yaneci DeNovi]

I don't remember much of the Lotus Festival aside from the RPing. And insane battling trying to level up.

I've known people like that. Sometimes their actions are so stupid I just have to laugh and be like "Wtf was that?"
It sucks when people like that have kids.

[Chu]

Aaya. DX *glomps* I'm sorry you've been put through such shit. I've had selfish friends like that too and I don't even have three strikes. Once you piss me off enough you're gone.

DROP THEM. D:< Let her deal with her own drama for once.

Anyway, I'm glad you're back on Mido, and I hope things start to look up from here. </3 I've been going through a lot of stuff too, but I can't share it all. We just have to try to be as optimistic as possible in times like this so we don't let life walk all over us. As long as you're still having hard times, I think Mido places second to your life.

[BubbleTrouble]

I know you don't know me but I read all of your post and I just want to say I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. It's bad enough having to deal with your own problems let alone your friend's bull, I hope things get better for you.

[Veriantor]

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, I hope things will work out soon. You don't me cause I'm kind of new here.

[Maverik]

Hey Aaya... >< Sorry to hear that life's been... well, frankly, you deserve a lot better. I don't think anyone on this site would hold you accountable for your absence at all, considering all you've gone through. I'm glad to hear that you got into the school you wanted to, at least.

x.x Too bad nothing else seemed to go as smoothly... And happy belated birthday... >.> Three months later.

I can't help but feel that anything else I say will just be a repeat of what's been said. >< You really should've been treated better by your friends, and they should've been much more grateful to all you've done for them.

Blehh... I guess you wouldn't want to dwell on that, though... seeing as how this thread was made more than a week ago.

<.< I'm really good at this timing thing. Honest.

[Transcendence]

I don't think anyone will think any less of you on this site because of your absence. I mean anyone in their right mind should know that at times life out side of the internet sweeps us away.


I think that you had quite a tough time of it. I do hope that things go better for you in the future. Just know things can only go up from here.
