torn asunder

funny - still apropriate...

rock-star diet? you mean you're gonna stop eating & binge on alcohol & cocaine!?

i was talking to rev about my flooding situation, and he sort of implied (with good reason, i might add) that he thought it unlikely that the water table on my property was really as high as i claimed. i don't blame him for wondering/thinking that, so i decided to take some pictures to show everyone just how high the pond/lake is now. i took this pic from the hill in my front yard - behind the willows is the pond, and the truck is parked in the driveway... in this pic, the water on the left is the pond, the water on the right is my driveway... this pic was taken from my deck - the line of greenery running bottom-left to top-right is the water boundary... i just didn't want people thinking i was exaggerating too much... isn't it wonderful to be me!?

i don't know about that - it's the excuse i'll be using tonight...

wheni bought this place, the water level was literally 4-5 FEET lower than it is right now. when the water started getting a bit higher, i asked my insurance agent about flood insurance, he said i don't need it, i'm not in a flood zone. i'm at work now, the pump has been running since maybe 10:30, and when i left, the water was no lower than when i started. i think the pupm's too small, which means i now get to go buy *another* pump, and hope it can keep up, when i get out of work. wtf am i supposed to do when it rains again tonight, and tomorrow? seriously? sandbags? i'm so fuckin fed up right now, i want to start punching inanimate objects... edit to add: it's not even the losing of stuff that bothers me right now, it's the thought that my house may be unlivable if the water doesn't recede, due to stagnation, mold, etc. and if that happens, how much will it be to repair it? and will it be better to just bulldoze the motherfucker & default on the mortgage? blah, blah, blah... this sucks...

you know, there's really nothing wrong with that, persay, and i wish people would stop treating being skinny like it's some disease or something. there are healthy, and unhealthy ways to be skinny - see? skinny, hip bones, but muscle and skin tone... lindsay is an *unhealthy* skinny, kiera is not. (imo) but as skinny goes, it isn't necessarily unhealthy to see hip bones, ribs, etc... it just means low body fat.

i'm feeling utterly defeated - heard the storm last night, thought nothing of it. woke up this morning, got ready for work, and as i was leaving thru the basement, what did i find there? 6-8" of water, *in my basement*. i looked outside, and my entire driveway, and around the back of my house, was underwater, too! water in the garage as well, so first thing i did was call into work, then go to lowe's to buy a sump pump. it's been running for well over an hour, and the water might be down an inch or two. and we're supposed to get more storms tonight, and maybe tomorrow!? FUCK ME!! and this isn't just from heavy rains alone - the pond i'm on is at the highest i've ever seen, and the water in my basement is actually the water table!!! it may very well stay flooded for the entire summer, for all i know... i don't even want to try & salvage shit, i just want to trash it all. i don't even know if i'll be able to go out of town this weekend like i'd planned, and that really frustrates me. right now, i feel like i hate life.

i am thinking that even when things seem to be going well, the world knows how to make damn sure i realize life will never be all positive...

pretty good - just got back from hill sprints a little bit ago - wiped me out, but made me feel pretty positive!

band practice - need to really focus & learn some new songs, we might be playing a show in july, and i really want to be ready...

you're debating semantics, which might work here, but remember, this is in australia, where the terms might be used in different ways, or refer to different things due to cultural differences... just thought i'd point that out!

ah, but it appears you have forgotten about me!

shut up, herkamer!!...

ooooo! *jumps up and down* i wanna go!!!

anyone got any decent pics of me? the newest decent ones i have are years old...

conflicted...

:X story of my life, man...

even if they can't hold their liquor... i knew i was forgetting something - didn't remember sasha was going to be here so soon, if it's who i think it is!? (restless obvlivion, right? the other "isle" member...)

this is yesterday's, but repping squats with 225# made my day last night. it all went to hell shortly after that, though...

extremely frustrated...

well then, if you're going to continue this kind of behavior as well, you both can take equal responsibility for having this thread closed. if you have nothing further to add, don't, it's pretty simple. seriously, if you two can't behave, then don't post. none of this "but *he* started it" childish nonsense either. you're both adults, act like it. and yeah, this could have been done in a pm, but i want people to know why this thread is closed, and who to blame for it.

hey, how about we get back to a topic that doesn't involve you two harping on each other directly!? kthxbai...

*insert pre-emptive "play nice" platitude here*

then find a "play nicer" side...
