Well... After a bit over 2 years, my lady & I split up.

It was a mutual thing, but still rather difficult. We'd been living apart for about a month, because it broke up the monotony of living together, and just having the "How was your day?"-type conversations. The more room we had the more we realized that the way we are right now wasn't going to work out. She's very much not prepared for a long-term relationship, and needs to get some things sorted out, like understanding how to live on her own. I'm too busy with work, and my social life outside of our relationship had taken a significant hit.

We both still care for each other, and would conceivably be interested in having a relationship in the future when we're more prepared for something like this, but it's best not to right now. She needs to grow up, and I need to figure out the rest of what I want to do with my life. Confusing and difficult.

The funny thing is that most people don't even know we've stopped living together aside from our really close friends, so we're delaying the Facebook status adjustment until it's old news, and no one will freak out about it, and cause drama while we're still sensitive about it. Social Networking is weird.

Oh, and yay for this happening on Valentine's Day.

Sorry to hear that X. Even if it was a mutual and necessary thing, it's still not a nice process to actually go through.

Still, alot like my past relationship, the fact that it was mutual is heaps and bounds better than if it weren't so hope everything is good from here on out mate.

Fucking gutted, dude.

Even if it's mutual, it's gotta hurt. >:

If you were here, I'd take you out for a drink ;.;

Yeah, sorry to hear that X. The end of my last relationship was ostensibly mutual but I apparently still haven't gotten over it. :(

Aww, X... I am so very sorry to hear that, especially after you two were together for so long. :c

I think mutual break ups are just as hard (if not harder) than ones that end rocky at first (or even remain that way forever). At least you both were honest with your emotions and it's great that you still care about each other but still... *hugs* Break ups suck. =(

And REALLY sucks it happened on Vday. I remember bad things happening to me a lot on Christmas Eve and it's like ... REALLY? Gosh, and I hate drama that comes with statuses and changes in relationships. (at least with break ups, no one seems to actually CARE when you're with someone) You guys could just hide the status on your profiles instead of removing it right away. =O

Anyway, good luck with her or any other potential girl (who would be lucky to have you) in the future!

The Borders down the street is closing. Not sure how I feel about this; I'm sure it'll slow down traffic for a couple of weeks while they hold their clearance sale but after that we'll probably be swamped, plus a bunch of people bitching about how we don't give out memberships for free like Borders does (never mind that the absurd number of discounts they give away for nothing is part of the reason they're bankrupt) and a bunch of other crap. It probably means most of us will get more hours but it also means our sales plan s going to be a lot higher so I'm sure there'll still be just as much pressure while we're working. Bleh.

A well-known chain. Part of me isn't all that pleased to work for a big company but on the other hand my job security is probably a lot better than it would be if I worked somewhere smaller, and I'm pretty relieved at that. Plus, compared to a lot of large companies (or even some of our competitors - I'm looking at you, Amazon), the company I work for is fairly benign.

oh lol, i forgot about this. it was actually frustrating but kind of amusing too. When I got home from work yesterday:

Me: I was stuck in two hours of traffic this morning.
Mom: No you weren't.
Me: :mal:


lolwat. pretty sure i was. Yeah so I walked away and went to my precious laptop. I find it's best to just not attempt communication with my mother.

My boss did cut out the article from the newspaper and gave it to me, so I'll show her that when I go home.

I'm pretty sure your mom would've said "No you weren't" whichever action you described, :monster:. Next time, you should go "I was fucking my BF for two hours straight this morning.", as that's probably what she thinks you were doing or something, :monster:.

(No, I actually have no clue, just figured I'd say something for the lulz)

:sadpanda: FOREVER ALONE

In all seriousness, she'd probably be happy to hear I'd have a BF. She'd probably start making wedding plans.

(No, I actually have no clue, just figured I'd say something for the lulz)

Oh by all means. Lulz were had by me too XD


The other day I said something to my cousin about having never been on birth control. She was like, "I think we're making your mom nervous with our conversation. She just turned around." I guess I said that louder than I should have :awesome:

Oh well :monster:

1. You could replace BF with 'some random dude I just met', for extra shock value, :monster:.
2. Many womenz take birth control pills for medical / comfort reasons, not including abdominal growths.

In rural Wisconsin, there is an old abandoned park. Built in the 1920s, it served as the town’s gathering place for everyone.


That is, until a newly developed Train and Tunnel for Tots™ ride was installed in 1932. It was an innocent looking childish train, with one main (mechanized) head car, with three small trolleys pulled behind it. It went around some loops before going into a small tunnel.


But this is where the story gets weird. There were numerous cases of child deaths that year, all of them happening after the child rode on that train system. Some kids went missing in that short tunnel (about ten feet), and others went comatose after leaving. One, upon exiting, was found to be dead. Her dress was covered in what looked like small bloody handprints. Some killed themselves by scratching at their throats until they bled out, and one of them even killed another child before hanging herself with razor wire at the family’s farm.

The park was closed, and the town’s popularity as a tourist town plummeted.

Recently, a team of scientists were sent out to the park. They taped a video camera to the train, and put a new intern in with it, before sending it on its way onto the tracks.


When the train left the tunnel, it was empty, except for the camera.


The last ten seconds were nothing but static, save for the sound of children laughing.

In a nondescript rural corner of the American midwest, in a long row of units at one of the many dilapidated mini storage businesses that dot that dreary landscape, is a unit, Unit 232, with barely-noticable scratches in the concrete in front of the sliding door.

Upon closer inspection of Unit 232, the careful observer will note a few things: the frame around the door to the unit is dinged and bent up along its entire length, to the point that the door cannot be slid open even an inch; the door itself is curiously warped (some describe it as “pinched”) at the center, though not badly enough to see at first glance; the brown-tan paint covers up several much older layers that can be observed where chipping has occurred. An even more careful observer will discover that the entire row of units in which 232 is contained is of an older architectural style than the other rows, indicating that it alone has remianed in place possibly since the inception of the storage facility.

The owner, of course, has a story about Unit 232, although he doesn’t like to tell it. When he was much younger, someone rented the unit–he doesn’t recall who–and then disappeared after that, never paying the next month’s rent. Such things, the owner will say, happen often in his business, for all kinds of reasons, and so he and his boys clipped the flimsy lock from the unit along with several other unpaid lots a few weeks later, intending to sell its contents at blind auction and recoup some of their losses. Unfortunately, even with all three of them grunting and heaving at the door, it would not lift at all. Angry, the owner hired out some heavy machinery to tear the door down instead.

Behind the door, the owner says, was nothing but a solid wall of dull steel. The small backhoe tore the flimsy aluminum door out easily, but barely made a scratch in the metal. Exploratory cuttings elsewhere around the unit revealed that the same metal pressed against every wall. Whatever it was, it seemed practically bolted into the concrrete.

The next revelation was the discovery of a large, plain keyhole set into the block–which, the owner supposes, must actually have something else inside of it–on the side that faced the back of the unit. A locksmith was hired to examine the keyhole, but the moment he began feeling out the hole with his turning tools, he fainted clean away. When he came to an hour or so later, he was in such bad shape that his eyes would not focus and his tongue would not form words, and he was eventually committed to the county mental health ward (back when it was still called an asylum, the owner will say) where he managed to hang himself with a towel a few months later.

Having had quite enough of these goings-on, the owner called in a full-scale demolition service to take out the unit with a bulldozer, but when the vehicle arrived, the engine cut out and could not be started again until it had been towed some miles away. Spooked because of the story about the locksmith, which caused a small local media sensation at the time, the driver decided against trying a second time, and when word got round to the other heavy equipment companies in the area, the owner was left with no one to try and finish the job.

Naturally, he will say, he decided to rent the equipment and have one of his employees take care of it for him instead. But this is where he trails off, every time, and if you press him for the story of that worker, he will say nothing, only staring off out the window of his office as though you are not there at all. In the end, he will say, clearing his throat, he carefully re-paneled the walls, attached a new door, welded it in place and banged up the frame as an added precaution. The “pinching” at the center of the door, he will tell you, seems to happen on its own, but he has learned to stop asking questions about whatever is locked up inside that huge steel box.

Of course, every lock has a key somewhere in the world that fits it. What is inside the cube in Unit 232? Whoever has the key might know; more likely it has been passed along from attic to attic and rummage sale to antique shop so many times that whoever has it has no idea what it is for. Check your garage, basement, attic or junk drawers: almost everyone has a few big, old keys lying in a dark corner somewhere that he or she cannot recall the purpose of. Perhaps one of yours fits the lock hidden inside Unit 232….
