Don't allow yourself to be used. If you think you are, then obviously the friendship is not what it should be. I had that problem so don't let yourself get in that situation.
Don't be lonely forever, though. There are genuine people out there that won't use you for any reason. Kind them and stick to them.
What's wrong, dude?
Wow, 98%! That's a fantastic score, no matter what it is, so you should be very proud of yourself! That's just brilliant.
Bodies are delicate specimens. One tiny thing wrong and we can be screwed up and have intense illnesses. What's wrong with your body at the moment?

Thanks mate, just gotta find the right crowd and stick to it, I've just gotta look that extra mile for real proper friendship.

Okay, I'm spelling like an idiot this morning. Obviously I meant "find," not "kind."
It's difficult to "look" for those kinds of people. Sometimes people just come into your life for random reasons and that's how it'll be. My best friend now is my drum tutor. I met my band mates through a guy at work. I met a Canadian girl because she was on a flight from Sydney to Gold Coast and she just happened to be sitting next to me on the plane. All networking and connections. And an element of luck.

I would always luck out on planes. The cute guy would be sitting three rows ahead of me, next to the cute girl, and I'd be stuck next to the screaming baby or the guy taking up his seat and half of mine.
But one day, the cute guy sat next to me, and commented on the John Irving novel I was reading, and turned out to have written an article for Suck.com that I not only remembered but liked. And so on.

Re: the militantly vegetarian gun toting libertarian from Georgia
I've actually been quite lucky on planes. There was that cute Canadian girl, obviously, and I met up with her again a few months later. I still keep in touch now, even though she's back in Canada. I have sat next to two hot American girls, too. I've sat next to kids that were about 13 but they were alright. Once I had both seats next to me vacant the whole flight. I've been very lucky.
Hey, see, all that bad luck accumulated into sitting next to a cute guy. Did you get his number or anything? Anything come of it?

Re: How are you feeling?...you feel nice!
Why can't you just let yourself enjoy your vacation phocas? Sometimes if we don't allow ourselves time to recharge the batteries, things can be harder to cope with later on.
Maybe you could divide your vacation time up into two parts, the "veg out" first half then the "catch up on things" 2nd half?

That's no good, BlueDays. Although I can relate. Hope you're okay.

Some people tend to think I'm a walking ATM.
My mum asked for $300 because of her stupidity, and now an acquaintance of mine, who I hardly see, has asked for $250. I've reluctantly given money to my mum on the pretense that she'll repay me Wednesday (let's see about that), but I'm not giving money to this other person. Sheesh.
I actually feel used right now.

That is a horrible feeling Mickey :s
Sometimes we have say enough is enough to protect us from acquaintances who seek out people they think will be too nice to say no to them.

Maybe that was her thinking, that I would say no. I told her I can't due to car registration, Christmas, and holiday money - all of which are true, but I lied. I actually do have $250 but I don't want you to have any!.
That's true. Another friend of mine wanted $300 to pay some bills. I gave it to him and then he suddenly has an Xbox? Years later I'm still waiting for the first cent to be paid back to me....Aw, Don't feel bad about not giving that other person. People will suck you dry.

Haha who's the real ATM around here? :

worried.
very stressed out.
little brother had a bad car accident tonight. Flipped his car 3 times; it's trash and his insurance won't cover it, so he will have to move back in with us whether he likes it or not.
We're still getting kicked out soon, though... so I don't know where we'll go or what we'll do but we've always managed to survive in the past somehow.
Thank goodness for shelters.

We've been living in 'transitional government housing' for a year now.
When he moved out in September, our household went from having 3 people to 2 - both unemployed; so we have a choice of 'finding' more government housing for 2 people, or moving out and living in a regular apartment; which we wouldn't be able to afford.
The problem with 'finding' more housing is waiting lists.
It would take longer than a year to find one in town or within the vicinity that we could move to easily.
So... unless another 2 family home moves out of government housing within the next 2 months, we'll be left to our own means and kicked out so that a new 3 member family can move into our place.
Little brother seems to be okay.
He said on the phone that he didn't have any pain but he did get a concussion and he was unconscious when the ambulance came, so he'll need some tests done.
Thankfully-- that is all free.
haha
His passenger has a skull fracture but nothing 'big'.
And his 'dad' who he was living near was there at the hospital with him to make sure he was alright, since he's 5 hours away from us.

^ Oh wow. Glad to hear your brother is alright! I'm surprised he wasn't more injured after all that.
Really sorry to hear about you getting kicked out. :
: I hope you find someplace to stay soon.
