Better today, I organised a workshop and it went well, and I felt I had something valuable to contribute.

I'm feeling quite crap, stupid depression. But I've eaten, I'm chatting here, and I'm listening to intense music and it's helping me take my mind off it a little bit.

Also, I put the jewelry that my mother makes on a Tumblr account. I gave it a name that she and I thought was cool, but today I got a message from a guy saying that I was violating his copyright by using the name and I should contact him immediately. He left a phone number, but there is no way in hell I'm going to call him! I sent a message back saying that I'd changed the name of the Tumblr and removed all uses of the name. I don't think he'll pursue anything further (and he certainly isn't going to get any money out of me, 'cause I ain't got none), but I'm freaking out about it. I sold three necklaces, but they were to a friend and I've never printed the name on anything. I just wrapped the jewelry in tissue paper and sent it using the USPS.
You deleted it quickly and without fuss, so I can't imagine he'll pursue it any further. I'm very certain you're in the clear unless he's an absolute tosser.

That's always good when that happens. :)

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Nothing like having family members laughing in your face when your being serious to make you feel small and insignificant. And they wonder why I don't talk much.

I'm seeing Dr. Cop tomorrow. It's been a while since I've seen her and I'm nervous.

^ Oh wow. Well, I hope he doesn't pursue anything further. Honestly, I think it can be quite a common mistake, if you think about all the little businesses/operations that are out there, whether online or from home or in a separate building, no matter how big or small they may be. So I don't see much sense of him making a great big deal over it. You changed the name, so I think that's more than enough. Try not to freak out about it too much.

Here's a question to lighten up your mood. Do you happen to make beaded earrings or bracelets by any chance? I'd definitely be interested. :)

Just no motivation to do anything, i'm afraid. nothing i do seems to make things any better. i'm just really down atm.
I know that feeling, mate. I hope it passes. Usually some forced socialising or just sheer time can alleviate those feelings, at least for me, so hopefully it will for you, too.

Ah, yeah. We could all use a little extra cash. :)

So far I haven't heard back from him. I'm hoping that's enough. Everyone I've talked to seems to think that we will be fine. I've made $9 so far, so if he can find a lawyer to work that cheap for him, then I might get worried. I don't know how to make earrings, but we do have quite a few bracelets. I just need to take pictures of them and put them online. I'm a little on the lazy side, though. ;) 'Tis the season and all that crap.

haha~ it's always strange when people see you with your little brother and assume he's your boyfriend.
*sigh* he's growing up... he looks older than me, now.

You should really communicate that to them.
Tell them that you don't talk because they always throw what you say back into your face and make you feel stupid.

They might think twice about saying anything that could be hurtful next time - they're your family; they are blood.
They do care deep down, even if they act like jerks.

^ When I go places with my brother, I sometimes wonder how many people are thinking that because we look so incredibly different. I haven't been accused yet, but I'm waiting for the day someone says something. I just know it's going to happen someday.

Even if I do brace myself for it, I'm pretty sure I won't feel any less awkward or embarrassed about it. >.>

Nervous.

I'm going to a Meetup tomorrow that I'm looking forward to and dreading in equal measures.

My nightmare is that there'll be five of us there: two pairs engrossed in conversation, and me left toying with the ice in my lemonade and feeling like a complete prat.

The other thing is I've nothing to wear. Between my dislike of clothes shopping and my lack of money, my wardrobe is... impoverished. So I'm sure I'll look like a complete prat, too.

I'm sure that if you have nothing to wear no one will ignore you.

Well, I wouldn't lol


Btw if there are two pairs in conversation you can try to tun that in two groups of 2 and 3 people, or even 5 people all talking to each other (yeah, this one is quite difficult to achieve, I know haha)


Good luck!
