I'm going to be okay.

Just recently a lot of bad things happened to me this week.

1.My bike got stolen leaving a broken bike lock. Whats weird about it was that I took the seat in with me and the chains were starting to rust but none the less it was priceless to me because it was a gift from my older brother and I used it ever day to work.

2. I got a horrible hangover from new years eve leaving me sick the following day.

3. My paycheck came late so I couldn't cash it in time.

4. I ordered a model but the guy forgot to put in a jetbike.

5. Some stalker guy knocked on my sisters window the other night.

The weird thing about all this is that I'm not mad or depressed. Yeah I am sad about my bike (and loss a little hope on mankind) but it doesn't phase me at all. Its as though I have no anger or hate inside of me, just wondering how you guys handle your problems.

[Ascended Mermaid]

How do I handle my problems?

- I cry.
- I move to another town/state.

Well, just recently I hooked up with this girl and things were moving pretty swell and all of a sudden shit happens and now we're in the 'cooling off' phase or whatever that means.

I feel kinda like shit now, so I deal with it by going back to PC gaming (going out with her kinda left me with no time for other stuff). Takes a load off my mind.

[Ascended Mermaid]

It's hard. It's very hard. I can't stop thinking of my older brother. He keeps coming back to my mind. So yeah, I cry. That's all I can do. I know that's not what he wants me to do. He'd rather not be remembered in grief. I keep saying that I'm going to get him flowers, but I haven't yet. I will, though, I will.

What goes down, must come up!! Things will get better man.

The hangover will go away, enough time has passed to cash your cheque, email the dude and ask for your extra pieces. As for your bike, man that blows, but you can look forward to getting a new one, or changing your routine to adapt to your lack of wheels. This all reminds me of that Simpsons when Homer wants to get rid of the trampoline, so they chain it up .

As for your sister, pay closer attention to her, and block that fucking window, and try and catch the guy. Beat his ass!!!!!!

Dude, what have the police said about that stalker business? Because that's some shit.

[Musa-Revived]

Oh and one more question. I don't know much about western houses, but how does one knock on your sister's door? I thought people's rooms are at least on the 2nd storey, so dude has to climb up some tree or something? Or is she staying at the ground floor or it's some kind of apartment.

That stalker thing is some creepy shit, especially if it's at night...

But you can still cash it in, can't you? Or does the date expire and you need to get it renewed or something like so?

[I'm a big bum with my paychecks so I usually end up cashing them in about a month or so later, when my boss/gallery people/curator starts screaming at me. :'D]


As for bad things - I just got told today by Play-Asia that they've been a bum with shipping my order, totally misplaced it, and so, I'm not going to get my Suikoden Tierkries (the Konamistyle edition). T____T *tears of blood moment* ...For some reason this news has shattered me far more than any stuff of death and devastation around me (like the marketplace blowing up. or random earthquakes. ). :'D (Shows how amazing my priorities are and how in touch with the reality around me I am!)

So what am I going to do? I'm going to sit and sulk. And sulk. And some more. Bwaaaah!!! Life is NOT fair!

[So my problems are quite silly in comparison, but very traumatized I be! I wanted those bookmarks!]



Edit: As for the stalker - tell your sister to keep a fly swatter or a stick with her and if the guy dares show his face again, she ought to threaten him with that! I had someone stalking me at night like this too, a year or so back, and well.... the fly swatter attack, charge with a scream definitely worked (...somewhat).

[michaelchaoslord]

wow some your guys problems sound worse than mine, man if any of siblings die I would loose my freakin mind....sorry about that.

As for Musa's question we live in a first story apartment and thank god, I can't imagine carrying heavy object down and up those stairs uhhh. If you want images of the apartments I could show you unless the camera isn't charged.

Well things started to turn around, my dad's friend gave me his bike for 25$ so at least I have a ride to work and as for the stalker we lock the windows and I gave my sister my old pocket knife( she could also scream and wake us up). I wanted to cash my check as early as possible so that I won't accidentally get any money issues and the guy from ebay still hasn't replied my message.

[Ascended Mermaid]

- Some butthole woke me up three hours after I went to sleep. I really enjoyed this.

- I'm having trust issues, but...

Damn. I'm tired as shit, I'm scared as shit, I look like shit, and I smell like shit. If it barks like shit, then chances are, life's just full of shit! So what am I doing to get past this?

- I'm getting pissed off and writing about it on a message board that couldn't give two shits about my living arrangement or mental problems.

[Falcom Director of Fanservice]

You need a bubblebath, our Maggot.

It'll help the smell, at least. =]

[Ascended Mermaid]

I agree, although I can't imagine using bubblebath in a stand-up shower facility. There's no tub.

[Falcom Director of Fanservice]

Lame

I often make it a point to take a shower at my grandmas' house when I go to visit there, because they don't have a water saving showerhead, and that feels like a luxury when you grew up with a water saver.

[Ascended Mermaid]

At any rate, I feel better now that I was brutally honest about the situation. Sometimes it helps to be a tad vicious.

I've been scared about the world, but you know something? The best remedy for that, is sleep. Now that I'm awake again, I completely understand what's scared me, and I realise that I can truly and honestly trust and believe my new bestest buddy, I did not and do not have to be afraid about anything.

There's nothing to fear but fear itself.

I agree -- make it a point to board up or block the window so that it can't be broken into, preferrably with a dresser or some other tall and heavy object. Arrange the bed so that it blocks the dresser from being pushed down. Do this IMMEDIATELY.

If that piece of shit ever comes around, beat his ass with a pipe wrench! I'm not serious, of course -- as long as you have the primary window blocked, and he doesn't try anything funny, stay inside -- and call the cops!! You could get Mr. Stalker on trespassing if nothing else. If he tries to break in, you'll have breaking and entering on his head. It is fully within your legal rights to do so.

If you live in a place as lenient as Texas, where it's okay to defend yourself from intruders with a weapon, and you're not living in an apartment (hint: you're renting the place), goddamn right you'd better have one. Preferably a handgun, or a shotgun -- if a BB gun's all you've got, invest in an emergency weapon. Even a blunt object would do, if it means the difference between a traumatic experience and saving someone's goddamn life, you'd better have one with you at all times! Stalkers are serious business, they don't fuck around, at all.

// This is why I have a baseball bat, a golf club, and a goddamn hunting knife with me at all times. My life is valuable and no goddamn intruder is going to think twice about taking it. So I'm taking every goddamn precaution necessary.

With living close to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. My bike gets stolen every two years orso (on average). I just get a "new" one. for around 20 bucks.

and as for the stalker, if it just wasn't some drunk who got lost, rattling his chains is usually a good solution.

Weird Americans with their paychecks, my money is always directly transferred to my bank account. once every 4 weeks.

and as for the hangover, just don't drink to much or mix different kinds of alcohol.

I try to solve my problems as quickly as possible.

[michaelchaoslord]

I have Knives, swords, guns, but I don't seem to have any pipe wrenches and I happen to live in Nevada so I do happen to have the right to take him out.......of course if Kathy decided to wake me up when it happened, not only that but it could have been the same guy who stole my bike. Well today was all better so there doesn't seem to be anything to worry about, kinda a silly thread to start off with.
I'm going to lye down.

[Musa-Revived]

I agree with Unsavory's method of dealing with the shithead, but might be a little too extreme for u. For a less 'harmful' approach, equip your sister with some pepper spray and a taser, if that's legal. Will hurt like shit. Spray, tase, spray and tase, tase, tase. Nice combi.

For an even milder approach, just get one of those alarm thingies that go off with the press of a button. Will wake up the neighbors but hey the guy will run away I guess.

I've learned to drink little, so got no hangover problems.
