You'd b surprised at how different I used to be ^^;; but thank you. Going through school I was the complete opposite....I wan't the best person to be around >.<
Is not that she doesn't get the discipline she needs because she does. She just doesn't listen to me =x I thought ti was because she can tell I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to dogs. My husband says its because she sees herself as dominate over me >.< and yes shes not mine shes my husbands. I currently don't have a pet v.v I'd like to have a cat, and I'm done some research to find out what type of ca to get that wouldn't aggravate his allergies as much. He even said we could get one but he doesn't seem happy about it and I'm not comfortable enough with dogs to have one of my own =/ in my opinion dogs are a lot of work that's why I always loved cats ^^ if I don't end up getting one I'll get something else small and furry
Oh tell me about it x.x Middle school/ Junior high was absolute HELL for me...dyed hair, dark clothes, dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep. (which I can explain. There is 11 years difference between my younger sister and I. My parents were not responsible enough to watch her...a all so I watched her day and night...even on school night x.x) I was labeled old Luci's daughter and people picked fights with me all the time. I swear the further south you go in the US the more judgmental people get =/ they really didn't handle it the right way =/
She really is ^^ if I didn't have her back then I don't know what I would have done. I've had many friends that were Christian as well as family. I have nothing against them really. Only the principal that wanted me kicked out of school (permanently) for being pagan and no other reason -_-. -sighs- People...what can you do? You are by the way ^^ honest and considerate is how everyone should be ^^
That's the thing >.< I don't know exactly what to do. I still feel a little conflicted sometimes...as for the picture thing it doesn't bother me really lol I thought it was kinda funny and just brushed it off. As far as that goes she doesn't offend me too much.
Nor would I...she reminds me to much of my mother =/ I could never live that life style. I don't know about that ^^;; I just kind of look the other way and bite my tongue. I don't want to start another fight with her. Last time didn't end so well so I sort of just avoid her. If there's one thing I'm good at its understanding ^^ I've been around the block a time or two so I know some things. That's all really ^^;; nothing special. My grandparents were pretty unhappy with me when they found out I was pagan =x but they didn't hold it against me to much. And thank you ^^ I wish you the same! Mines kind of long too, sorry >.<
Oops I forgot ^^" Thankyou! And also, even tho you were stressed when you made this post, you seem to be a really easy-going, strong person :) So keep being like that! *hugs*
Ack dogs teach us new lessons every day, eh? xD I've left things on the counter at other dogs' houses and they are gone when I get back too >U<
Well yeah, for a 2 year old pitbull pup who isn't able to get enough exercise and is not getting the discipline she needs, or needed when she was young, its normal! And its not your fault or anything, btw. Its not your dog right?
Thats cool! I don't wear a wide range of clothing so I guess my expressions come out in art more then fashion... But I love seeing how peoples' personalities and expressions are shown! (lol the difference in your fashion is actually cute!)
Thats what I dont like... Even if someone thinks something is wrong, there is a right and wrong way to deal with it, you know?
Your aunt Sabrina sounds like she's been a big part of your life! I'm actually Christian and I believe it to be the truth. But that being said, I don't feel anything against you or your religion or opinions! I've been around people who talk about their opinions like its Gospel. There's a real fine line with sharing opinions/beliefs. So I appreciate that you are being so honest and also considerate too :) I hope to be the same! Your own choices definitely don't offend me^^
Hahaha yeah, thats what I believe faith is... Its depending on a Higher being, its trusting and respecting the choices He makes and being OK with it. And not freaking out because things aren't in our control anymore. I think its a way of living that de-stresses and takes pressure off the believers like myself. Now, the real tests come when people who proclaim to have faith get into those situations where they really need it xD
I'm a big believer in energy and faith because I've seen it works for me :)
Ah I understand. I think you should do what your heart tells you, and everything will work out ok :) Oh I know it! I've never had to make major religion decisions because I was brought up in the same way I believe now, but every day holds decisions on how to act or dress or talk. Lol your mother-in-law! Its a great thing that you're not getting too annoyed at her for doing her little actions. For me, I over think things way too much so I'm always inspired to see people who takes it easy and isn't so fast to jump into fights no matter if they situation is pressing them.
Wah!! What a difference! Isn't that interesting how we all think differently and sometimes we don't really (or sometimes don't want) to understand each other's opinions and choices? I would definitely not want to live like Hope! but of course its ok to disagree with people, definitely. But in love and not ill feelings, which again I think you are really good at :) Thankyou so much for understanding <3 My Grandparents and aunts live near me, but they have all these opinions of my family. My Grandparents have already said that I was "too far gone" (???) I actually just took it as a compliment xD
I wish you the best in your life, my friend! Lol another long comment, sorry!
I think you've mentioned that before and that's pretty awesome ^^ I'm glad you did right a lot about them because like I said, I'm hopelessly clueless when it comes to dogs ^^;; (just learned this morning chapstick isn't safe on the coffee table if I leave the room xD) lol I'm assuming that's normal for a 2 year old puppy though.
When it comes to family I kind of get it from all sides really =/ I like expressing myself through my fashion sense which means either brightly colored slightly tight clothes or the very different baggy darker color clothes. (this one is split between lolita style and casual goth xD...I know Im totally mixed up) My parents never cared for it and gave me hell, my mother in law despises it =p but the biggest problem is religious bias. Which speaking of religion, I've been very conflicted for some time about what I want to follow really...
You see I was raised pagan by my aunt Sabrina (the one and only person who supports all all my life decisions on my side of the family). I was comfortable with it because other religions never really made much sense to me you know? Which I would now like to explain why so I don't offend anyone...I actually did some research on a lot of religions in the past. Many friends, family members, or just the general public said faith helps them out a great deal and I felt like I was missing out. So I read up on them. In my opinion, an I can't stress that enough...in my opinion there were certain things that didn't add up or couldn't be explained by anything other than simply having faith in them.
So I went to my aunt and she taught me about her religion. I understood it, and I felt comfortable with it. Once I moved here though, my husband started talking to my about Islam. So at this point I'm a bit torn ^^;; I dress with the modest clothing and the head scarf now and the information presented to me makes valid sense but...I feel like I'm turning my back on my past you know? Its a very hard choice to make. What makes it worse my mother in law doesn't care for either one really. Shes not mean about it but once she found out about her son and I converting, she put up a bunch of Christian symbols and paintings all over the house ^^;; I guess its a passive way of saying "I don't agree with you, and this i why." lol Honestly shes kind of funny sometimes xD
Religious wise the only problems I have would be with my parents and my husband's cousin Hope. =/ She lives a...lets call it a fast and loose life style shall we? She thinks its terrible I don't live like her throwing my lady parts around all willy nilly like she does -_- and I shouldn't wear the scarf because and I quote "You don't look american! You look like a mail order bride...why would you want that?" -sighs- Shes not the brightest crayon in the box. My parents are upset because they are backwards hillbillies and not to mention racist so yeah...I haven't talked to them in about a year now. So I can understand where you're coming from sweetie ^^ I really can.
Thankyou so much for talking to me :) I'm glad that you did write a long comment! I understand how you feel now, thats a really tough circumstance with the puppy pitbull, your mother-in-law, and your area. And also the fact that you're all crowded in your house!
Yes definitely... Thats not nice at all for your mother-in-law to do! My own family's relatives actually look at my family in a similar way because of our choices and religion. And it can be rough, even if I don't really care about what they think. But by experience, I've learned that its best to not be bothered by their petty actions. And once the stress does build up, just release it and get back to your own comfort zone, which I think you're doing a good job of already^^
Its totally ok, I understand! ^U^ I wish I could help you out more!
By the way, I'm a dog-walker so thats why I wrote so much about the dogs previously ^^" lol
Thank you ^^ I really appreciate it all of you guys are so awesome. It makes me happy knowing not everyone in the world is rotten...and might I say, I love you avi! DoctorWho is amazing!
The one that causes the most problems is the pitbull pup shes not out of the chewing stage yet x.x so she eats a lot o things. I wouldn't mind walking her but...in the neighborhood we currently live in that would be unsafe for the both of us. We kinda live in a sketchy place and I'm not comfortable walking alone with her...shes very strong and I'm afraid if a stray cat happened to walk by she go after it wanting to play and get away from me >.< Zeus knows I don't wanna be responsible for that. Or the darker side of things if someone were to confront us shes afraid of men =/ the only man she likes is my husband. She was a rescue pup from a shelter so we don't really know what happened to her...
You're right though its not fair blaming her or the cocker for things. I really don't mean to I'm just not used to something that requires so much super vision you know? I come from a cat home. I'm used to an animal having a bit of independence so I'm probably to blame for the behavior on the pitbull part. The cocker however, was raised by my mother in laws now ex-husband. He didn't care for it at all as a pup and left him outside for hours on end alone so he has major separation anxiety. He doesn't even know simple commands and as a result hes a handful sometimes.
Once we move to a better place I'd feel more comfortable walking them alone but as it stands now its just an accident waiting to happen. There are some mixed feelings between my mother in law and myself too. Honestly I don't mine her being around. I really don't, but for whatever reason she can't stand me =/ she purposefully does things to spite me like hiding things I use daily or just flat out moves things. It's just her attitude towards me that really gets me you know? =/ Maybe its just normal in law stuff who knows lol.
I think the problem everyone has is no one here feels like they have their own space because theres three people living here with two dogs ^^;; and I think that just builds some stress. Plus in the past we've found so many houses we liked then we got turned down an its been an emotional roller coaster for everyone. Which I blame no one for, I can understand that. It just gets even me down sometimes and I snap a bit v.v;; I think it was the skewer that was the breaking point yesterday lol
anyway, thank you for the advice to does really help ^^ I appreciate it a lot. I'm clueless when it comes to dogs which is hilarious because my dads side of the family used to raise show dogs xD (I'm so hopeless x'D) but again thank you sweetie ^^ talking helps a lot and sorry this is so long =x
Aww poor you and poor dog :( Lots of times, its not the dog's fault though... Dogs can be trained and shown the right behavior. No dog has no hope. If your mother-in-law's dog isn't getting the exercise or help it needs, its going to be releasing its pent up energy on items or people in the house. Barking is another way to release its frustration. Dogs are supposed to help people so its a sad thing for me to see that you are becoming more frustrated because of the dog's actions. Of course, its a lot of things building up inside you, right?
You have some issues with your mother-in-law, but the dog doesn't know that. All it senses is tension or your frustration of the problem too. I'd recommend that you clear your mind and create positive energy. And probably do vent your bad energy somehow in a healthy manner if its gotten too pressured. Exercise is a good way to do it, and how about bring your mother-in-law's dog along if you go out for a walk or jog? That way, you two can release your frustration together and maybe even bond or at least understand each other in a better way that will make things better.
Things may be going crazy for you but blaming the dog for the worst of it is unfair :/ even if you don't like dogs. The dog can't help itself when its in a situation where it is building up the same pent-up energy as you or when it feels such tension between people.
No I'm not kidding.
I'm sorry you had a terrible day dear. You don't have to apologize for expressing your feelings. I hope you feel better soon. *big giant huggles*
You can PM me anytime you want to talk. I'm here for you.

Well its a bit complicated to explain really. I got the idea from a dream I had a few nights ago. Its about three races of ancient creatures waging a war against each other for total control. Normal people cant see them, only the chosen few to help them in the war can.
The people they choose can be anyone. Any race, any age, both genders. They become the "master" of said creature and command them in battle. The only catch is if the person is chosen when they die, they don't go to heaven nor hell. They become trapped in between worlds.
The story centers around a teenage girl and her two best friends that wind up pitted against each other in this secret war. There is friendship, betrayal, mystery, and magic in it.
Besides the over all plot all I have is the first chapter of the story. I'm not sure if I'm as happy with it as I originally thought though..
