stupid first world problems you're dealing with

That's horrific

this breakup fucking sucks. she's shit-slinging at me, we're still living together, and now we're arguing over heavy financial shit. the backstory: years ago I inherited $28k from my grandmother's passing, which I used to help my girlfriend and I get settled (it costs around $3k just to move into a new apartment in this city, and we did that twice), I used it to help pay for both of our college tuition (and she ultimately flunked out), and to cover part of her outstanding debt from before we were together (a few grand). we have about $8k left. I want her to be able to get on with things and comfortably find a new place, so when asked how we were going to split up the funds, I felt $3k going to her was not only reasonable, but generous. she is furious over this, acting as if, i don't know, she deserves more than half of the money we have left? shouting match ensued. now she says "keep the fucking money, I don't even want it" and I know she won't be able to get a new place to live without it. if I give her $3k, I am leaving myself with almost the same amount, which is enough to get me into a new place as well, which I have to do, because I can't afford this current apartment by myself. then i'm broke.

also, silverfish are creepy.

ps: i took all the remaining joint savings account money and moved it to an account in my name only, because it's mine. i hate feuding over monetary bullshit but this shit is mine and if she goes into rage mode and tells me she doesn't want it, fine. it's mine. makes me feel like an asshole to do it but she if she's acting ungrateful, and that's the money that allowed us to stay together comfortably for five years, i'm ok with her facing her own reality.

pps: i came home today and her first words were "you only have to give me $2700, i spent $300" to which i responded 'HAVE TO?' and more bullshit came about. ughj

^ A good friend of mine is going through a simillar situation right now, shit doesn't sound fun, but I'll tell you what I told him (and a lawyer backed it up eventually as well)... If it's your money that was given to your name by inheritance, YOU DON'T OWE HER SHIT! ... Now with that said, if you feel you want to give her some kinda severance pay as good karma, to not leave her absolutely screwed that's totally your call. But if she's gonna become a greedy bitch about it, I wouldn't give her a penny and let her face the harsh reality on her own... Break-ups are no fun especially ugly ones, and sure, you'd like to help her based on the attachment and sentiment towards the relationship you once had, but ultimately you gotta look out for yourself first.

Stay strong and put the foot down bro.

Sorry you're going thru that shit Luke. Pretty much what Gh0sty said; you inherited that money. If she thinks she's entitled to at least half of it, she needs a reality check. Also, I hope she doesn't get violent.

Not sure I've actually seen a silverfish IRL before, but can't help but point out that it has cute, beady little eyes.

My latest first world whatever: Read an article of the top ten most horrific torture methods in human history, and wish I hadn't.

This day old coffee is gross. Not that I could have reasonably expected any different.

I usually drink my coffee black but I find that copious heat and a dollop of heavy cream makes the day-old stuff tolerable when I don't have the luxury of dumping it.

no idea what to get for vday

Man, I had a whole book on the history of torture once. Was 'boats' on that list?

The one that sticks in my memory is when they would tie an extremely taught length of rope horizontally across a room, grab the victim by his wrists and ankles (two guys, one wrist and one ankle each) and then saw him in half on the rope from the crotch up.

seeing other peoples creative and romantic success is making me depressed.

If it's any consolation...(fuck it, I'm just gonna say it)...I've never dated before in my life. Trust me tho, you don't necessarily need a partner in order to find happiness.

Fuck that shit. Comparison is the thief of joy.

^ Tru dat

Happiness isn't something you find, it's something you make.

Now slap that on a poster with a photo of the ocean and make $20k.

But does $20K make happiness?

fuck foobar.

Fuck yeah it do. It MONEY.

thread page conflation for the purpose of post creation .....

experiment one:

a book on torture seems to be the thing. Although given that break up post, i think that she's probably well versed in that form of human behaviour, soo, chocolates and flowers and whatever the hell other free shit she wants.

Finished 2nd book, after many months of feeling as though I would never write anything else ever again. Huzzah!

Now I don't know what to do with myself. Reading and games, sure but there is a gaping chasm where my writing / revision / self-loathing used to be and find it hard to relax and do nothing.

How do you procrastinators manage with all this spare time?!

I normally do the cream and sugar thing, so my de-gross-ifier is to add fry's cocoa powder and make it a mocha. That's what I did the next time. Plus copious amounts of heat as you suggested.

I'm procrastinating on procrastinating

We're all professional crastinators around here.

Based on my shitting patterns, I suspect I might be a glutard. Also Leapfrog keeps freezing my machine despite rolling back system to a point when it worked fine, hmmm
