Trip to, heave and ho; Up, down, to and fro- You have no word
I'm sorry I haven't been on here very much. I have a few reasons for this, most are health related.
-I went on a week long foraging diet. Almost all of my time went into looking for edible food in the wild.
-The two burns on my left arm, from the "Free Tibet" photo, got infected and aren't healing as quickly as they should. Very slow process,
-Got a bad cut on ly left finger, from the side and all the way up to the nail, from a giant can lid at work.
-I'm starting to believe the worst from a feral cat attack a few years back , that I might be developing carpal tunnel or some other similar condition . This is terrible news because this is my dominant hand and it's becoming more and more painful to do very basic things. I'm hoping that in the future it doesn't restrict me from being able to draw. :/
If anyone has sent me any letters so far, let me know. The only letter i've received is from
blackrathmar and i've heard that other people have tried sending me things, which I haven't received. I'd like to know if anyone else has tried sending me anything lately.
I'm really starting to feel isolated from people. I go out and immerse myself and everything ubt it just is starting to feel like people are false friends. i'm not accusing anyone here because I've only met/talked to a handful of oyu in person. But people. Actual people. People think that adding you to facebook and never talking to you again is friendship. That isn't what it's about people! Friendshi isn't a popularity contest. We have to get back to the root of things. Being someone's friend is thinking about them. communicating. going places. sending letters. Doesn't have to be all the time.. But don't pretend to be a friend. Friends need to go back to being family without blood relations. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Does anyone else feel the way I do?

I'm sorry thing aren't working out. That usually happens to me on Facebook, daily I do a few deleting but I get angry messages on why I took them off. I tell them why and yeah, drama. I guess I'm boring? I hardly post on there, cause no one rarely comments on it. So I see no point. Bah, I feel ya Icy. I lost a friend recently, and I'm tired of always having to start the conversation.
No sad Icy! -Hugs.- D:
I knowww. It's been crazy for me in terms of injury lately. I've just been trying to take it easy but it seems like I am accident prone xD I will look into the herbal stuff; I bought some muscle rub cream from "badger" brand a while back ago when it was on sale. i've been using it on my neck and back (car accident, yay!) but i think i might have to try on my wrist. It could help :) I think it's all natural.
It's okay.. i've just noticed where, i'll meet some genuinely nice people, but their idea of friendship is different than mine I guess. I know people who have over 2000 friends on facebook. I ask then how they communicate with them all, and they tell me they don't know half the people on there. -_- I guess it's just, when I have a friend, I wanna at least try and get to know them! That's what friends are supposed to do, or so I thought x3
Sorry you lost a friend. :< I'm at a little bit of a crossroads myself.. This one friend, she says she wants to hang. so i suggest a time to hang. "Oh no sorry, i'm busy." or when she agrees, the day rolls around, and I never hear from them. "Oh sorry, I forgot." It's the feeling you get like someone is ignoring you but doesn't want to lose the "friend" status. But honestly, i'd rather them flat out say "I really dont want to hang out with you at all. sorry." Sure it'd hurt, but i'd get the message, and it'd be done.
-HUG- i'm gonna head over to the post, see if anything's come. If not i'll let you and the other people know, and i'll also yell at the post people. :C
Man that sucks about the post office thing. I really hope it gets resolved soon and they ACTUALLY do something about it. I will admit i've been a SLOW POKE and not gotten around to sending anything out to you just yet. I feel kinda bad about that to! >_< I wanted to actually send something though besides a letter in my first time sending to you! C: So I've been a busy bee and been working on stuffs....-shifty floof is shifty-
I tend to feel the same way with the being isolated an all. People will friend me on Facebook that knew me back in high school but I tend to think..."You didn't talk to me or really know me then...why would you attempt it now?" but I also get the people that want to add me just to have a high friend count..which is so pathetic I can't even properly express it. I mean...Really? Im just a number to inflate your ego?....Yeah no...-deletes those ones- But sometimes I wonder about my personal friends to...I can be in a room FULL of people but feel so lonely and out of place because they don't talk to me...they talk to everyone else...EXCEPT me v-v or they'll talk to me just to ask a quick question then thats it. Man oh man is that a crappy feeling!
Yeah, I went yesterday and they gave me a number to call which i'm going to do today, but still! I mean, worst case scenario is, the last person who had my PO box duplicated the key and is randomly taking my mail? There really isn't a best case scenario considering the people who've sent me things havent gotten their letters sent back, so it's either lost or stolen mail. But seriously? Two lost letters so far? Crappy coincidence if it is! :/
In a way i'm glad people have been taking their time, considering these issues. I'll keep you guys posted but i'm seriously losing my faith in the postal system. One reason why I wanted a PO box was to support 'em and keep letters flowin', but if they can't even keep track of a few envelopes then they are in more trouble than I thought. -_-
And you don't have to send me anything at all! -HUG- Anything you want to, don't feel pressured to make me stuff. Although i'd happily return the favour n-n
Isolation sucks, mann. Especially when it happens with close friends. I'm lucky to have a few best friends IRL, but they all live so far away from me, and it's hard to keep in touch, though I know those friends are my true friends. It just seems like the people here, the ones close by, could really care less. I hate to make that kind of assumption, but constantly flaking on me to do other things with other people, or not answering a call or email, and then trying to kiss up later on public posts places... It just doesn't feel very nice at all. I don't get how people can be this way. For me, friends and family are like a pack. They are your support system, they are the ones you trust and keep closest. When your pack abandons you, what do you do?
Oof, I'm really sorry to hear about your health troubles! That all sounds rough :c And dang, a week long foraging diet? That's intense! Major props to you. Another one of your neat challenges?
I know exactly what you mean about the friend thing. Even the people I call my best friends haven't felt like friends lately...
Tried calling the number they gave me to resolve and nobody picked up for the first 3 calls, the 4th one someone picked up and said the person who runs PO boxes wasn't there and wouldnt be there for a few days -_-
Mehhh, it's okay. To be honest, one of the reasons i'm so frustrated with my burn, is that I didn't expect it to take this long. Maybe there could have been things that I should have done better to ensure it didn't burn as bad as it did, but I wanted it to be a real photo. The forage thing was a new challenge! It was SOOO hard and I ate marginally at best. But most of the food i ate was very good; I planned it in the season of wild berries and fruit. Mmmmmmm. c:
I just don't understand what happened.. What went wrong here. The friends I remember form the past, you'd call them and they'd call you. THEY would be the ones to make plans. you'd go places, talk, share secrets, be goofy, have a good time. While I realize people grow up, that shouldn't stop people from blocking others out. Now it seems like the only time people wanna hang is if there is loads of alcohol involved.. It's like they don't want to be present. Not dissing on the old drink but thats how it seems for me. That's not my kind of fun with friends though. I just want to hang with people. Sober people. People who gonna remember the fun we had the next day xD
-hug- Well then i'll try to get my letter out to ya soon. Maybe it'll make you feel better somehow? I know i'm distant, but I'm a genuine friend, mann. I hope your close friends come around. c:
Haha, well you certainly did get a powerful photograph out of it!
ajflsfjsfjsd that sounds delicious! Berries and fruittttt <3
Ughhhh, RIGHT? I've certainly got nothing against people drinking, but I hate how there's this stupid social pressure that you have to drink to have a good time. It just leads to people getting drunk and making stupid decisions. Screw that, man. I just wanna chill and make some good memories!
Also, I feel like people are just really awful at planning things nowadays. I always feel like a bit of a hypocrite complaining about people not making plans because I'm very withdrawn and barely ever reach out to people, but when someone wants to hang with me, I always end up having to plan it or the plan totally falls through. It's like the new age of technology and immediacy has made people incapable (or just unwilling) to make solid plans ahead of time.
You really are though. You're one of the most genuine people I know! :) And thanks! I actually had a talk with my friend last night about how he's been acting (super egocentric) and he made a real effort to make amends.
