I thought I had it in me to do the right thing.  I thought there might be someone out there who would appreciate who I am the way I am.

I was wrong.

    don't give up.i at least like you just as you are.i read you often,i'm just afraid you not like me.but i think your cool....     :)))
  • SeanRenaud said on Aug 15, 2008....
    What's wrong with you the way you are?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    killing - I don't like or dislike you.  I simply am watching you to see if I can figure you out.
     
    SR - That depends on who you talk to.
  • SeanRenaud said on Aug 15, 2008....
    I'm talking you at the moment.
  • MissMimi said on Aug 15, 2008....

    [dips into my emergency stash of chocolate]

    uni.  You are a good person.  I like you just exactly as you are.  Some people can be advanced assholes.{{{{hugs}}}}

  • quietone said on Aug 15, 2008....
    what really matters is what YOU think of yourself.  All the rest is just a matter of opinion.  And my opinion is I like you just the way you are too ~
  • botoni said on Aug 15, 2008....

    You are perfect just the way you are.  Dont buy into anyone telling you otherwise.  Simply enjoy the fact that there are so many (me included)  who think you re terrific.

  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    SR - even I know what's wrong with me.  But I don't want to talk about it at the moment.
     
    MissMimi - does that make them members of AAA (Advanced Assholes Association)?
     
    quietone - I'm too tired to have an opinion right now.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    bot - I do enjoy that fact, but it's not enough today.
  • MissMimi said on Aug 15, 2008....
    lol  Yep, and I know just who I'd nominate to be president.  ;)
  • SeanRenaud said on Aug 15, 2008....
    If you don't want to talk about it that's your call.  I am curious what you think is wrong with you because in my experience seventy six point six one one one nine percent (exactly that number calculated based on global sampling of women) of problems women think they have are imagined.  Which sadly make them difficult to solve.  Guys tend to have real problems, something where I can hand them a baseball bat and a beer and the problem goes away.  So color me curious as to what you percieve to be wrong with you.  O.O
     
    I am the president right?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    SR - why don't you go solve your real problems then.  Apparently mine are just fictional.
  • MissMimi said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Nope, sorry Sean, not you.  :)
  • SeanRenaud said on Aug 15, 2008....
    I didn't say your's was fictional u-i.  I said I'm curious what it is and if it is something solvable.  You really are feeling down aren't ya, normally you're less sad.  You should go watch some funny youtube videos.
     
    Mimi.  I am insulted!  The only way that somebody else could be president of the assholes would be if I were given some higher station like Supreme King.  I mean Saddam Hussien aside I'm one of the biggest jerks in history!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    SR - Let's just say I've had enough people picking at me the past 24 hours.  I'm really not gonna give anyone else ammunition.
  • MissMimi said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Sean, I'd hardly put you in the same class as Saddam Hussein, but far be it from me to insult your asshole-itude.  President it is.
  • beyondtheveil said on Aug 15, 2008....
    unique- I'm afraid I don't understand at all. And I'm having a big 'down' day myself.

    By the way, is that 'someone out there' us at SC or elsewhere?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    BTV - elsewhere
  • SeanRenaud said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Saddam had an unfair advantage.  A country and an army!  But I got my promotion so I'm happy.
     
    U-I.  Wanna drink about it?  I've found even if it only works for one night that if you tell Jim, Jack and Jose about your problems they can often tell you the answer.  And if you keep asking them the same questions they'll tell you to sleep on it.  And when you wake up either the world is better place, or your head hurts.

  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    SR - alcohol is not on my diet and since everything else seems to be out of my control I'm gonna be in control of this diet.  Come monday I intend to make a sizeable dent in my bottle of Patron Silver.
     
    CW - thanks
     
    Z - I know, and it's nice to hear.
  • silver_phoenix said on Aug 15, 2008....
    hi u-i! some days just suck! lemme know how that Patron Silver treats ya =P
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    silver - some days suck.  Today licks ass.  I had planned to mix the Patron with some margarita mix, but it's looking more likely that it will be shots.  And I'm rarely drunk but I'm going to make an exception this time.
  • Mamie said on Aug 15, 2008....
    aw, this sucks. I am sorry! (((((hugsssssssssssss))))) mamie
  • SeanRenaud said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Patron Silver:  Good stuff, a woman very close to me drinks that!
  • pickersplock said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Hey Uni, sorry I wasn't here to help earlier.
    I know you said today.........."licks ass" LOL!
    Sorry, it just reminded me of the "sucks worms" conversation we had!
     
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Mamie - yes, big time.  Reaffirming my decision to change my life at the first opportunity.
     
    SR - yes, it's smooth.  It's the best I've had in the US.
  • Mamie said on Aug 15, 2008....
    sorry for your trouble sweetie, but I will say this, nothin like a real good downward spiral to give you the chance to stage a comeback...I have staged a few in my time...good luck! Kick ass and get in people's faces: "oh no, you di'int!"
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....

    pickers - you're a hard woman to "out word".  Come to think of it, maybe today really sucks worms :(

    Mamie - well, I guess that is an upside. (stage a comeback)

  • cuppajava said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Why give up?
    I know that i dont comment much on your posts,but i do read them.as has been said already - who gives a fuck what others think.?Its what you think that counts.I have bared my life and soul on my blog,have people changed their opinion of me - I dont know.Does it bother me if they have? I dont think so.Dont be so hard on yourself

  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    cuppa - the people here are wonderful.  My issues lie with people in RL.  If it were simply a matter of differing opinions I'd call myself lucky and call it a day.
  • pickersplock said on Aug 15, 2008....
    You think you've got it bad?
    Try turning 42.
    Did I just admit to that?
    Whahoo, I'm making progress!
     
    As to the people who suck worms, tell them to GO SUCK WORMS!
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    pickers - you're younger than me.  That's all I'll admit to
  • fearing said on Aug 15, 2008....
    U-I, I didn't read all the comments, you okay?  I'm hoping that something good has happened in the 6 hours since you posted this.  For the record, I don't think for one second you are perfect but the U-I I know, I happen to appreciate.  If you toss my words aside, I'll be a tiny bit miffed because I always enjoy your wit, brains and humor.  I think to myself "Darn, she's pretty sharp!" - so there!  
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    fearing - Something good has happened in the last 6 hours.  I have had a reminder here that some really great people care about me.  In RL I'm afraid the news is not so great.
  • Lucytorial said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Uni ~ if you're gonna get drunk lets do it together..... we cannot know everything, the future especially and those around us.  We can only take a chance, you know what you need to do girl but before you do lets hit the bottle.
  • woman said on Aug 15, 2008....
    I'm sending you good thoughts and I am so sorry for your pain.
  • sammies_place said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Unique,
    I know how you feel.  I'm giving up on my 10 year relationship with the Scotsman.  He says all the right things -under pressure - but there's no follow through and no initiation.  Just t.v., eating, and gaming.  Not enough for me.  It's not enough to want someone in your life.  They want to be in it, too.  And that's just not there.
    Sammie
    P.S.  You'll know when someone is there for you.  I got a glimpse of what it looks like recently.  Probably the reason I'm walking away from the Scotsman.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Lucy - I'll "drunk email" you (aka drunk dialing) when I hit the bottle.  I know what I need to do.
     
    woman - thank you for that.
     
    sammies - I'm sorry things didn't work out for you.  I agree, a person has to want to be part of a life with you.
  • Zayda said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Leafy: Listen woman, anyone who would spend her time gathering leaves to send me for my little man's Cub Scout project is pretty damn okay in my book. You have a heart of gold girlie. And anyone who cares about you will see that.
  • wombat said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Totally don't know what is up with your personal life and I am not asking....just wanted to add that I think you are great, and wanted to say hi---hope things will look up for you and that you know you are special here....the comments don't lie!

    Z - I think the key words would be "anyone who cares".  BTW, I didn't ask before since I wasn't sure a postcard from Cali would be very interesting, but could little man use a bay area post card?
  • Zayda said on Aug 15, 2008....
    U-I: Right now he is collecting postcards from other countries from one project. He has to have them from 10 different countries and we are up 6. He has another collecting project where he has to create a display of 20 items he has collected. I think he may go with postcards for that one too, so he could use them from anywhere for that. If you would like to send a post card, I am sure he (and I) would appreciate it. :)


    And see, 'tis just another example of how thoughtful and wonderful you are.


    Can I come kick Bill in the shins for you?
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Z - Can I watch?
  • Zayda said on Aug 15, 2008....
    But of course. It's not as much fun if you don't watch. :)
  • Lucytorial said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Well Z if you're gonna kick his ass then let me hand you my cricket bat... just make sure you angle it so that the EDGE hits not the flat plane.
  • wishyouwerehere said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Ah, Uni - hang in there!  I'm sorry life is sucky at the moment.  If Lucy gets her cricket bat out - I wanna watch.  What was the word you used when I was having my problems with the Snowman, Luce?  Aim for the "googlies"?  ;)
  • MissMimi said on Aug 15, 2008....
    I wish it was easier for you, uni.  You deserve so much better than what you're getting.  I'm joining the crowd that want to watch Zee and Lucy kick his ass and crunch his googlies.
  • Lucytorial said on Aug 15, 2008....
    Wishy absolutely spot on, right in the Googlies! SPLAT!

    Uni!  I'm SO very sorry to read this post!  You lift me up when I am down!  You have helped me so many times that you don't even know!  I wish I could snap my fingers and lift your spirits and I hope you know that if I could, I would.  I just want to invite you over for a rant night, hugs and tears.  I don't even know what's wrong, but my heart aches for your pain.  If there's anything I can do to help you through this, I'm here for you!

    Hey, man I understand you, some days are like that! But that's just life! Full of ups and downs. There is an old saying quiters never win and winners never quite! 
  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 16, 2008....
    Z - I'm making popcorn for that show.  Screw the diet!
     
    Lucy & wish - I'm pretty handy with bats, now the googlies are the same as the danglies?
     
    MissMimi - it promises to be quite a show.  See the big man cry!
     
    MM&I - thank you for those quotes.  Both mean a lot to me.  I'm a fan of Lao Tzu.
     
    Daily - be careful who you invite over!! ;)  who knows, some day I may find myself on that coast.
     
    SG - you may be right, the company is appreciated.
     
    machershey - you're right about quitters etc.  This is a little different.
     
  • Lucytorial said on Aug 16, 2008....
    They are one and the same.  Most satisfying too when you get a really good shot in.
     
    Feeling any better today?
  • dailyachesandpains said on Aug 16, 2008....
    You're always welcomed here!  We  got a spare room and then some.  I know our house isn't going to sell, I'm taking that negative thought on it because I'm torn.
     
    I hope you're feeling at least a LITTLE bit better!  Doesn't sound like something you could get through quickly, as much as I hope you did get through it fully already.

    Well you can't give up dammit you said you would be there..

    ok.. well.. just saying if you give up.. then I'm giving up.. and then we would be deemed quitters. 

    Perhaps I should read ALL the comments.. at a later time.. but don't give up...

  • uniquely-ironic said on Aug 18, 2008....
    Lucy - better and more focused
     
    Daily - I'm better today and eventually I'll be 100% but it's gonna be awhile
     
    what - I have this nasty habit of being there for others, but letting myself down.  I'm better today
