I'm HORRIBLY pissed at one of my friend's ex's right now.

They had an awesome friendship/relationship/chemistry between the two..and it all ended in a way I could never have predicted.

She apparently decided to end the relationship simply because my friend wasn't in college. He's 19, has been working since he was 14, and graduated from high school early. It's totally beyond me how she can justify ewoking his heart up just because he decided he didn't want to continue his education yet.

In all the years I've known him, he's always been against mind alterating substances, and has always been very, well, "in your face" about them. He's apparently been getting smashed every night since the break up happened...and I'm afraid he's going to lose control. I can't help but want to strangle his ex...and slap him at the same time.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

rough situation there. i think you should invite your friend to hang out and watch war movies or something to get his mind off the break-up and keep him away from the booze. or at least make sure someone is with him so he doesn't drink and drive or drink enough to give him alcohol poisoning.

[Brumak 2]

I would do that in a heartbeat except for one thing...He still lives in NY...

I've been trying to talk to him, but whenever he signs on AIM it's for roughly 30 seconds.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

i don't suppose he's answering his phone, is he?

[Brumak 2]

Nope..

alrighty. so, Thursday i come home from school feeling like crap, running a fever, and have dialated pupils. the first two, no biggie. take some meds and go to bed, hopefully feel better in the morning. dialated pupils are not good. something is impairing the eye muscles from controling how much light is let in, so if you leave it long enough, you can really damage your eye.

with that, Mom rushes me off to the doctor. he tells me i have a little bacterial infection, perscribes antibiotics, and sends me on my way. everything's all fine and dandy except for this spot on my neck. it looked like a rug burn last Tuesday. i figured something like my sweatshirt or my lanyard for work had rubbed it an left a little rash. again, no big deal. pack on the antibiotic cream and wait for it to go away. Wednesday, it looked like an open blister. Thursday, it got bigger. Firday, it got even bigger. Yesterday, i had to get the giant size band-aids to cover all of it.

i had my grandfather--a retired doctor--take a look at the thing on Thursday and he said it looked like Shingles. Shingles is basically an autoimmune response caused by a remnant of the chicken pox virus that stays in the nerve cells untill weakened immunity and stress reactivate it. i never had the chicken pox, i had the vaccine. i thought it was a bit weird for me to end up with Shingles, but whatever. how do i get rid of it? wait it out and pack on more antibiotic cream to make it feel better.

well, i called and left a message for my doctor this morning describing what was going on, and he had me come in this afternoon to take a look at it. he thinks it looks fungal and is sending me to a dermatologist tomorrow. so now i'm packing on the athlete's foot cream and hoping this time, it goes away.

now how did this happen, you ask? i haven't a freaking clue. if i knew how i got it, i might could figure out what the crap it is. at this point, i don't care what it is or how i got it. i just want it gone.

[Andy 60]

Well, hopefully it's not shingles cos that is nasty. :S

[Mara 29]

Yeah... a guy from my church had it for like four years...

Hope you get better soon. : )

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

i do feel better except for the neck thing. it itches so bad, i'm about to scratch the dang thing off. we'll see what the dermatologist says. -_-

and another plus, today's the first day since Thursday afternoon i've been able to wear contacts.

I ewoking hate this command I'm at now. I've been busting my ass, getting qualified, and learning this sith, so I can prove I'm an asset to the place, and what the ewok do they go and do? They ewokin sign me up for that goddamned security bullsith AGAIN!! This ewokin ass munch sits in his ewokin office all nice and cozy, drinkin his coffee, never standing watch, and screwing over all the blue shirts, because he DOESN'T GIVE A ewok ABOUT US!! I am so sick and tired of these ewokers who wanna talk about how you have to strive to be your best, and do all this sith to help the command, when all it does is come back and bite you in the ewokin ass! Out of all the people that got here within the last year, I am the highest qualifed person. There's people that have been here for over two years, and aren't even where I am!! Why aren't they getting the sith duty? Because they're ewokin fat, or they're dirt bags, with marks on their records. Goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished around here. I cannot believe the arrogant fools that get to be in positions of leadership in MY ewokin Navy. They're a ewokin disgrace. It's pathetic that me, a man 10 years their junior has more intelligence, and intestinal fortitude to do their job than they do. I ewoking hate this place!! Get me back on a ship!!

(Sorry for all the colorful metaphors, I am a sailor, and I'm ewoking pissed.)

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

management pretty much sucks no matter where you go.

and the latest theory about the evil neck thingy is: a freaking COLD SORE! grah! it's all Mike's fault cuz he had one last week. so, the dermatologist gave me heavy duty perscription anti-biotic cream and some pills. thankfully, the thing is getting smaller and it looks better, too. at the rate it's going, hopefully it'll be gone by Monday.

[Princess 35]

JM's got herpes! :p

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

bah. at least it's not the genital kind :p

[Ayingel 24]

O_O lips to neck...what on earth will your parents say? :p

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

better than lips to other places. besides, what they don't know won't hurt them or me. :p

[Uncle Du 22]

LMAO!

[Ayingel 24]

better than lips to other places. besides, what they don't know won't hurt them or me.

...this is true...

This isn't really a rant or anything, you guys just make me feel better and I trust you. A lot of you know I'm taking Walter's coming and going every two weeks pretty hard. I finally went to talk to a Chaplain yesterday for a couple hours and I'm feeling a lot better. I was having some issues dealing with mine and my husbands' exes as strange as it sounds, because of a conversation we had the night he left. We were talking about our old friends and High School and things in general. We somehow got on the subject of people we'd dated and it's bugged me ever since. I started having night terrors and waking up with anxiety fits. It was getting awful. Prin knows about the guy I dated before my husband and what happened with him. Basically, I was set up. Moving on. The Chaplain explained to me that I was obsessing over the exes as a defense mechanism because my husband is gone again so soon after coming home from deployment. My brain is associating his leaving with what the last guy did to me and weirding me out. Anyway, I started a journal and I feel a lot better. I'm taking a Stress Management class on 06NOV. I'm just glad I'm finally able to start sorting things out in my head. This was really starting to bug me and affect me.
