I spoke to a South African lady last night. I was out having drinks with a few friends when i hear her a table or two away. I immediately recognized her accent. Later on i bumped into her on my way to the bar and we got talking. She mentioned how she was in here, and that she just couldn't take things in South Africa anymore. We talked and talked and at some point she told me that she misses the old days in South Africa. I was slightly confused and asked her to clarify, to which she said she misses the days of apartheid. Things were so much better back then, not just for her but for everyone she knew, and pretty much everyone she didn't know. "We (referring to black people) didn't have much, but at least we had something. At least when people abused and killed us it wasn't our own people." Was kind of an eye-opener. Things in South Africa had gotten so bad now that some black people actually miss the days they were slaves.

This week needs to be over like 2 days ago.

 

Monday, I spent the evening with one of my friends, and had an amazing time. I came home at a 'reasonable' hour to be rested for the next day of school. My parents were pissed that I was home so late (10:30 for reference). I get home, get on social media, and another one of my friends got me all wound up and angry with her petty bullshit. Despite wanting to be in bed and asleep by 11:30, I was so angry that I didn't get to sleep until around 3 am. The next day was my day where I have class for almost 10 hours. Every time I had a short break between classes, I just went out to my car and cried like a little [bleep]. 

 

Yesterday, I got the news broke to me that my tarantula breeding project turned out worse than expected. It was bad enough that only 50 of the 400 eggs even started to hatch, but now there are only about 30 of those left that haven't died. I only get half of the babies, so I'm realistically only looking at 15 of those best case scenario. That doesn't bode well for me as I already have 12 of them promised to other people (so I get to keep like 3 instead of the 10 that I wanted).

 

My drive home today from school was horrible. Some dick basically cut me out of my exit lane, so I had to go down to the next exit, turn around, and get on the appropriate exit to get back home. Then a few more miles down the road, there was an accident involving a semi and a dump truck. My 45 minute drive home took two and a half hours.

 

I accidentally dropped one of my classes last Sunday that was already full, and basically had constant nightmares every night since about not being able to get back in. I came home today, checked my status and found out that I got back into the class. I was ecstatic. 

 

Not but 5 minutes later, I found out that one of my tarantulas escaped, and I went on a tear through the house looking for it for almost 2 hours. No luck. I was very upset. My mom was taking her laundry down to the washer, and it jumped out of the pile of clothes. I was excited for all of 15 seconds that I had found it before my dad started berating me for letting it get loose in the house and that he'd get rid of my entire collection next time it happens.

 

My friend just now texted me with some more of her petty bullshit. I'm doing my best to completely ignore it, but I'm just so mentally fried at this point.

 

 

 

For every up there has been at least one down. I'm so done with this shit.

“I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”

“Do you have any regrets?”

“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”

“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”

“Mmmhmm.”

Moved to San Diego and started my job. It's been pretty nice so far. Hopefully my car gets here soon so I can check out the beaches.

 

What are you doing out there?

 

Things are gradually coming together out here a bit more. I finally have most of my furniture built aside from a night stand and god DAMN does it feel god to sleep on a real bed after 10 nights on an air mattress. My company had its end of summer party today too on a beach in northern Seattle. The weather was beautiful and it was nice getting to meet a few more of my coworkers. Still slowly trying to wrap my head around these JavaScript frameworks but I think I'll end up liking it here a lot.

What was the reason for the divorce and was the kid planned?

Kids was unplanned she was 20 he was 22 when the son was born. Reasons for divorce I could write a novel about but tl;Dr he turned to alcohol, she cheated on him and then when they started getting along again she filed rape charges against him. Crazy shit

Node.js took a weekend to learn coming from J2EE, its just so much cleaner codewise

I write node for a living and let me tell you, there is no reason to ever use node

 

& Kalphite, my advice for learning frameworks is to learn how they work. React, for example, seems like a pretty difficult framework to learn, but it's actually pretty straightforward once you understand what it's actually doing

Well the earthquake was really horrible but I'm still working in Italy and trying to not get too anxious even though aftershocks are very intense at times

 

The death toll keeps on climbing

It makes me feel so sad when I think back to the night

Were you nearby to the areas most affected? Also, did you feel them yourself?

So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

 

RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.

Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.

Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.

I strike out every other week.

Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.

Randox pretty much stays rational.

Etc, etc

Spent the last week or so moving. I own more things than I thought. Also, as I'm sure anyone who has ever moved as gone through, the process has been more...interesting than anticipated. I'm still not really moved in, but my computer is actually hooked up now, not that I have much time to use it yet. Also, hiring movers cost more than I expected, but some of my stuff was never moving without them, not inside a month at least. This will be the first place I've had that I can really call mine, that doesn't come with other people. Fun times.

 

The only problems are going to be on the electronics front. In my old place, my TV and stereo were right next to my computer, so I've grown accustomed to everything being hooked up to my PC. Now my office is essentially a loft above my living room, and there is no good way to run cables. The internet is also worse. I'm going to look at wireless HDMI, but I might just save the money and watch netflix and youtube on the PC.

I'll write a longer post later.. the tldr version is that we don't know exactly which time something happened. Her period being late was the first time we knew something was up. It's now been 6 days late so she decided to take a test yesterday. She's taken 4 pee tests, all positive. Different brands, too. We are setting up a Dr's appt later in the week to confirm, but I feel [bleep]ed. She's not on the pill, and lust has gotten the better of us several times over the last 6 months when we were drunk and condoms weren't accessible

 

Edit to add, I always pull out. I know that's not super effective but just wanted to clarify I didn't bust in her

I was in a region that was affected, so the school I was teaching at closed down and we had some time off but we went back on Friday to another facility because my company doesn't want to refund the money they made from the parents. I did feel the earthquake and one aftershock. It was a horrible, horrible night. I had a room mate who woke me up and told me that there was an earthquake and I didn't believe her for whatever reason, even though our beds were shaking, the whole room was shaking and the glassware had completely crashed from the cabinet. Earthquakes just weren't on my radar at all, I hadn't heard the word for a very long time. The family who were hosting us came to our room and told us that there had been an earthquake 6.2 magnitude and 10 dead. They said that the epicentre was a 40 minute journey from us.

 

We watched the news as the death toll climbed and climbed and it's now near 300. It was very difficult to sleep again and I had no access to a phone to contact my family for a while. I had to go back to being upbeat and smiley with the children all the time whilst the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on my heart.

Well if she got pregnant anyway might as well have busted in her. Way more fun.

Seems like a pretty sucky deal on your end Lower Levelled, should be a lesson you'll never forget if nothing else.

 

Otherwise I just got back from working for the Summer and now have exactly a week to get all my things in order so that I can move into college next Saturday with classes starting the following Tuesday. Seems like when life decides to happen it happens all at once.

Yeah.. so still no period. Pretty much a guarantee at that she truly is pregnant at this point. She's taking it far worse than I am, which is understandable since she is the one that has to sacrifice the most. I wish she was the same year as me in school, I don't know what we are going to do next year. I don't know where the thing is going to live. We've only been together since the spring and I don't particularly know if we should move in together since we still have a lot to learn about one another. Her dad is the super old school catholic type so I'm wondering if he's going to kick my ass when we tell him. They'll act like the world is ending, whereas my parents will immediately be pragmatic and supportive

Pragmatism will be a good idea. Wouldn't recommend living with baby momma though

Lower, I think you need to take a moment and calm down. Nothing is definite until you get results from the doctor. No need to think about moving in unless you actually want to. You may be responsible for half of the child but at the rate you are moving you'll be proposing or married before the baby is even a thing.
