Tragedies

[FireStarter]

Because we need a downer thread around here.

Post your tragedies. Things you have experienced that riddle you with grief.

As for me, when I was in college, my dad decided it was for the best to kill my mom because he thought she was cheating, and then kill himself. he also burned down the house where all of my family's valuable posessions were, leaving me with virtually nothing.

Wait, you were serious about that?

Awkward thread.

Nobody can top this guy. Thread over.

I spent the last hour repairing an exotic cable only to find out that one of the modules it connects to has a built-in lithium ion battery, that gives the unit a shelf life of 7 years. The unit was purchased almost exactly seven years ago, and the replacement is around $700.


...yeah, the Strife Lately thread has this covered.

I think I win in the "lasting pain" category.

My first year of college my father passed away after a long battle with huntington's disease. My sister also was in a car wreck and fell into a coma for about a month. Once she woke up she had severe brain damage and was never able to live at home again. It turned out she also had huntington's disease (it's genetic), so she started to go downhill much like my dad. She passed away late last year.

Now we recently found out that my other sister has the same disease. It's quite sad because she has a daughter, so she will get to experience the same thing that I experienced with my father.

Even though this is the third family member I have gone through this with... and I know how my sister will slowly deteriorate to the point that she is a shell of her former self, it still hurts just as much as the first time.

 

[Ennui]

Damn Timo that's awful

Most of you probably remember my contribution, since it was last June - woke up to go to work, showered, went into my mom's room to say goodbye, found her dead. The rest of my family was out of town and I couldn't get in touch with them until the next day. Not the best day of my life.

Strife Lately gets off topic too often.

And yes, I was serious. it sucked because my mom was the only person in my family I ever really got along with, and now I'm the only living member of my family. No parents, no grandparents on either side, no siblings, no aunts or uncles. Just me.

I don't plan on having children ever, so my family line ends with me. One more useless generation of people come and gone I suppose.

 

[Cornerstone]

I almost lost my father last year to Wegner's Disease so I can feel your pain. My dog is currently dying due to cancer and after having a Siberian Husky for 15 years, I wish this upon no one. Be strong and overcome and if you need support just PM me. Seek help, you are screaming that you need it. I don't want another with mental heath issues to go unhelped.

I'm just surprised because you were practically joking about it in another thread.

 

[Kamikazie]

When the OP joined the forum.

 

[Pesmerga]

I'm living a pretty relaxed and pain-free life.

I guess that's kind of a tragedy. For, you know, you.

 

[FireStarter]

Yeah, I try to joke about things as often as I can to heal a little.

It's like they say, you either laugh or you cry. I choose to laugh to others and cry to myself.

A friend of mine who I've known since Elementary school gave me a "**** off" phone call a little bit ago. She ended it with this:

Her: You think you know anything about the world, John? REALLY?
Me: Well, no, but I just want to stay friends with you.
Her: Well, I don't. You're pathetic, so just **** off.
Me: You don't really mean that, do you..?
Her: Yes! I never want to even talk to you again!
Me: Okay... I guess I can't blame you.
Her: You're a horrible person inside and out. I hate you!

We've been best friends, and every opportunity I've had to spend time with her ended up being really fun, but now she hates me and I don't even know what I did to upset her. I can't stand the thought of losing her because she's one of the last few things that make me happy. She called back a minute later to tell me she never wanted me to call her again, and then hung up.

Why does Kamikazie hate me?

 

[Kamikazie]

I hate everyone that joins the forum, until you amuse me. Which isn't that hard. I give you a day to be in the neutral zone.

 

[Pesmerga]

Pretty much the same thing happened to me just a few weeks ago, FireStarter. Except she did it because I hooked up with her roommate. So it's not like it was just out of the blue.

Also, FireStarter, you're pretty pathetic for not telling her she's a gigantic bitch.

 

[FireStarter]

Yeah, I know. I fail at being a man sometimes.

But hey, I try to keep my friends by adapting their style of emotion. Unfortunately that just backfired on me. Usually it works, though. :\

EDIT: But that's just the thing, she's not usually a bitch at all. In fact, she's like a guy with boobs, if I must go so far as to say that. We hang out together and bump fists like chums do in the hood, and go see movies together, and she doesn't approach me because of my girlfriend at all or anything.

In fact, we've gone on double dates with our respective partners. D:

I'm trying not to think it's that time of the month, but the thought just keeps coming back.

 

[Pesmerga]

Maybe she's a masochistic whore like my ex girlfriend is. Maybe she's not in it for a nice guy, maybe she's just a submissive little bitch that fantasizes about being raped by paramedics.

 

[FireStarter]

Now all I can think about is her being violated by a medical instrument used to bring people back to life.

"Clear!"
ZZZZZZZT
"Aaaaaaawwwwyyyeeeeaaaaah"

Thanks a lot, Pesmerga.

My turtle died the same day my aunt died. Also my bunny died when I was 6.

D:

I hate it when animals die, but it's even more sad to have them put down. I mean, they sit there like they're all "yay trip to the doctor!" and then you put a shot in them and then they stop moving slowly and then I am sad.

It's like falling asleep except dying, the Vet said. I cried because Abby was the best dog I ever had. ;^;

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I want to hug now. My hamster choked on a piece of food once also. What a way to go.





Fat ****.

 

[FireStarter]

Oh shit, she just texted me. :O

She said,

Im srry for yelling at u, John..I've had a shitty week and I was a little upset..I didnt mean to take it out on you like that..I'm sorry..please dont feel bad.

Does anyone dare me to say "Shut up and get back in the kitchen!"?

no, just kidding. But really, what should I say? Because it would be really sad to lose my best friend ever because of smething dumb like this.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

"I love you baby now love me back."

 

[Pesmerga]

Don't respond at all! Not for like, another day or two. Pretend you're unaffected.

Then tell her it's np, but be quick and brief and don't make a scene. She'll text you.

I will try this for the good of the horde.

Not that Toll's wasn't a good idea, it's just that I don't want her to come over and beat the EVERLOVING SHIT OUT OF ME.

She does that when I joke about it.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Beat her back. I bet she'd enjoy it.

 

[FireStarter]

o_o

Oh shit I should totally do that just to teach her a lesson and then walk away striking a pose like in a movie leaving her there to die after I steal her wallet and beat her with her own spine.

No. I am a terrible fighter. Even if she didn't fight back I would somehow lose. I am a skinny white man with dementia and MPD.

Skinny white men with Dementia and MPD do not fight.

 

[Krynn72]

FireStarter, you should have tons of kids and start your own mafia. Then after you die and your family is still king of the city, someone will make a movie of your life and it will be the Blockbuster movie event of the year!


Fuck yeah!

 

[FireStarter]

I dunno, I don't think I have the 'Mafia Mentality'.

I also don't think I have the 'Make kids like crazy' mentality either.

The latter is probably because I'd rather live alone instead of having a kid and ****ing everything up for him/her.

I'm afraid that if I have a child I'm going to give them a syndrome I have like MPD, or maybe one of my other personalities will hurt them and I won't know about it. Or maybe my wife(?) will leave me and take the kid, and I'll be stuck heartbroken and lonely.

In any case, I'm a sad and lonely shut-in who is socially inept. Those are the things that you need to know about me. That and I'm like five people in one, kinda like The Orange Box.

 

[Krynn72]

One of them has to be a mafia boss-type. I'll be your hitman. Come on, it'll be fun!

 

[FireStarter]

I dunnooooo.

=So far I know of myself, the one I normally am and was born as.
=I know the emo slashy wrist me that always changes my mind for me whenever I want to cut my hair.
=I know my "dickish" side who hates everybody and curses openly, whom I never hope you meet.
=I know that there's another one who once decided that my girlfriend was a threat and punched her in the face. He is seperate from "dickish" because he is far more violent. He smashes things when angry.

There's one more but I forget what his personality is. But, maybe he's the mafia one and is a secret crime boss.

But seriosuly, I hate all of them more than anyone else here could. My other personalities have ruined my life in their own ways. I never know who I'm going to wake up as or when. I also have dementia, so I can't go twenty seconds without looking over my shoulder for [strike]Combine[/strike] nightmares.

 

[Krynn72]

Well, come back when your fourth personality is around and we'll talk business.

 

[FireStarter]

But I'm scared of him. Sometimes people insult my other personalities by calling them my name. (They have their own names which I do not rmember). I believe I would lose my monitor to a fist if you talked to him.

 

[Krynn72]

Sounds like the kind of guy who can get things done. Does he have his own forum username?

 

[Kula Meenur]

I have troubles, but i do not look to the internet to seek physical, substantial consolidation.

 

[FireStarter]

@Krynn:

Y'know, I don't know. As far as I know we all use the same thing.

Which is likely why I'm going to be banend if I run out of medication.

See, my meds are the only things keeping the me you're talking to completely sane. Dementia brings out the worst in me, and that brings out even MORE bad shit. I hate being a slave to pills because it's costing me SO much money, but I have to live with it, I suppose.

 

[Jintor]

Firestarter, you're such an incredible woobie. MANLY HUGS.

 

[FireStarter]

lol

hey.

Jintor.

Shut up.

 

[Kula Meenur]

You seem like a clone of a older members account. I hope it's Shasta re-incarnated.
