the original neji hyuga Wow, that is quite the scare... If it helps distract you, I was in my house with what were like survivors or refugees and Cybermen from Doctor Who were trying to get into the house from the to the garage. The lock on the door was a weird one with different levels of locking. The higher the number the more secure and harder to unlock. But the Cybermen kept doing something to almost instantly unlock it so they kept starting to open the door. I would manage to force it back shut and turn the number back up. I also used to fridge door to block the door as when its open the side of it formed a 90 degree angle with the door to the garage. Eventually I decided to go out and try to reason with them. After I started trying to talk to them one of them (or maby all of them, im not sure) took off their helmet and they had the face of Data from Star Trek. After I continued talking it started going on about eye contact and I could tell it was surprised I was making eye contact. It started questioning why I was making contact and it was moving all around me backing away and getting closer trying to get me to break eye contact. The dream ended while I was explaining why I was making eye contact. There was some dialog with the survivors/refugees at points before I went into the garage but I dont remember exactly what. Also at one point me and a survivor/refugee had an idea to hide in the bathroom which we thought was the most secure location for some reason. They continued to hide in there while I tried to convince the others to go in there too but they had serious doubts about the security. Interesting. Yeah, I'm feeling alright now. :3 My sister managed to give me a good laugh before she dropped me off at work.

Whoa. eek
Cave: "Do you know who I am?! I'm the man who's going to-"
Not now, Cave! She might take you seriously and chase you down!
Hmm... *formulates plot*
If you have an awesome sister, you must also be awesome (as we can see). So I have a plan!
Step 1: Get Sirea to post!
Step 2: Introduce Bartz, Ditto, etc. to Gaia Online.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Awesomeness ensues.
Step 5: Profit!

Gah. I normally love this time of year, but... I dunno, it just seems that this year, in particular, all the bill collectors want to slap you in the face with a bill more than usual. My mom just keep getting calls, freaking out, crying, and whatever else. She's depressed for enough reasons without this. As a result, I can't help getting a little frustrated, because while I'm trying to be the shoulder to cry on, I'm trying to keep a little light in the house by being cheery. It's kinda hard to be cheery all the time, though, when you're expected to play the roles of Sister, Daughter, College Student, Friend, Counselor, Tutor, Disciplinarian, Grand Organizer of Things Needed, Computer Consultant, Gaming Overlord (dead serious about that one, too, no matter how ridiculous it sounds), Santa (as mom can't really afford Christmas this year just yet), and many more. I can't allow myself to /Ragequit, and I've OFTEN been told that I suck at multitasking, but... this is practically my most important job ever. I'm also being accused of mooching off of my family, at current, by other family members, and still others are furious with me for other reasons, and... I just wanna curl up in a corner and cry right now. Can anyone give ME some advice, please?

I'm not sure this would be good advice and it's probably actually quite awful, but...perhaps there should be a point where you just put your foot down and earnestly say you can't take it anymore. Explain why, remind them that you've been telling them multiple times that you have issues with multitasking. And try to come up with proof that you're not mooching, and try to clear up those misconceptions others have. Try to blurt it out somehow, some way even if they say they don't wanna hear it.
Everyone's got to know that you have your limits. sweatdrop

I completely agree with that! (Trying not to sound bad by saying that...) My parents keep trying to force me into all this stuff that I just don't wanna do and that is also hurting my health (Swim team + Bad back = Extreme pain). I've basically put my foot down and told my parents that I don't want to do all the stuff that they think will be "good" for me. Now they really seem to understand the stress I've been under lately. It's always good to at least try to tell them how you feel. Don't really know if that was relevant or not... sweatdrop I am sending all my hugs and good wishes to you. ALL OF THEM. I really hope things look up for you soon!

I also send you my condolences, Rosy, in the form of internet hugs and kisses.
All I can say is, in the end, choose the course of action you truly believe to be the best and stick to it. Not to sound cheesy, but stay true to yourself in every decision you make from the bottom of your heart, and you'll always come out on top stronger than before. The scars on our hearts and minds define who we are, and we are better for them when they heal.

Indeed, indeed, and indeed. Just try to get them to think from your point of view and work from there, I'd say.
Just try to express that, I guess. If they are ragging on you for something that you accidentally did or something, remind them that "it happens". If they want you to do something, remind them that you're doing something else. Perhaps you could subtly leave an article about a study on stress open on the computer or something... Unless they'd track you down and drag you over to personally close it like my own parents might, in which case that's a bad idea. I don't know...
Before I mess things up, listen to Azura. She speaks words of wisdom. Perhaps you could leave them a note, especially if you're going out somewhere. It will give them time to ponder. Just be nice about it.

I could really use some hugs myself right now. My parents are making me feel like such a screw up and aren't going to help me anymore. I can't do stuff on my own. I can't deal with all this crap. And now my phones disappeared so I can't talk to my friend who helps me through this stuff. This is so unfair. You don't tell the kid who has ADD and depression that you won't help them anymore.

Thanks so much, and I seriously just want to put my foot down and such, but I'm kinda needed in the position where I'm at (not where everyone is mad at me, but all the other ones, if you know what I mean?) I may be under a lot of pressure, but I am trying to help out where I can. As for those who think I'm mooching, I just either have to somehow prove that I'm not (a very daunting task, indeed), or just ignore them. Also, for the ones who are mad at me for other reasons, that will take time. Not something I'm unaccustomed to, but something I hate all the same. I did my crying, and I just have to keep going. It's all I can do, really. I'll take the brow-beatings and come out that much stronger for it! *determined look* Thanks for the support! And you are FAR from a screw up! I have a sibling with a back problem that sounds similar to yours (except his started really bugging him during Basic Training and is now giving him a LOT of complications... gonk Unfortunately, I'm starting to show signs of the same thing. Grand.), which DOES prevent you from being as active as you like. If it's a schoolwork issue, I'm pretty sure any of us would be glad to help you out! I mean, a guild is kinda like an extended family, right? Or, at least, that's how it's come to feel for me. Don't worry, we're all here to support you in good times and bad! *MANY HUGS!* Thanks for the advice, internet hugs, and internet kisses. They are much appreciated! I've decided to try my best to put the majority of my feelings on hold for the better outcome of everyone else right now. I know it isn't exactly the healthiest thing to do, but if I can help anyone else in doing so (and it seems that my family just needs as much support as in my power to do in my own way right now), then BY GOLLY I'll do it! There's plenty of time to finish licking my wounds later. Thanks, and I do plan on drinking some. I actually got some Caramel Chai tea of late, and it's pretty good for calming down, too, as well as my sister's chocolate chip cookies. heart Again, many thanks. ^^ Hmmm.... the only bad part is that I've tried something like that before, and I got even worse results. That, and the fact that they took my note to be awfully sarcastic, and.... nevermind. Anywho, I appreciate the thought. biggrin Yes, Azura does seem like the wise one, and I WILL TRY to follow her words, but... for the most part, it seems that I need to start stuffing my feelings down again for the time being. I'll just have to be careful in how I vent them later. Maybe during the 200 Man Melee I'm trying to unlock in ToV? sweatdrop Awesomesauce thing you found there, Neji. In fact, it even led me to an NES kinda version of L4D, which I was PSYCHED about. 8D Really, I just wanna thank everyone for their support! I think I just kinda needed someone to hear me out. I didn't mean for it to be you guys, but it is nice to know that there are always people you can count on to support you! I'm really sorry about the late as hell reply, but... I was a bit torn u-- *shot* In consolation, for you pony lovers out there, I welcome you to listen to THIS playlist I somehow managed to compile. Even for those of you that aren't exclusively pony lovers, they're still some decent tunes... stare Take them as you will, they're my only real consolation prize right now. DON'T HURT ME! eek

Ya, it was pretty sweet. I didn't really think too much about the L4D one though. Ive never played so ya... I'll check it out though if you think it was good. Also, I have to agree with you on the extended family thing. Over the years I've come to view you guys as the next best thing to my IRL family. However they seem to be at any given moment from anoying (brother) to frustrating (parents in general) I still love em and wouldn't give them up for the world. :3 Were I to be cut off from you guys it would be like cutting away a piece of me. Man, listen to all this gooey sap... But for real, you guys mean a lot to me and I think that if it wasn't for you and a couple good friends IRL I might not even be here today if you catch my drift... confused

Hey, you guys know what I just remembered? Back in the Dwarven Potluck thread I never said so but I always imagined us huddled together in some shack around what was essentially a cauldron of sorts. As for why I was there? I was reflecting on past... Mistakes... confused
