The odds are kind of stacked against you if you generally fall for guys who wouldn't consider dating someone of the same sex. sad Not that that's something that can be helped, by you or by them; you like who you like.
I really have no idea how most people meet their significant others. Almost everyone I've dated, I met through work or through school. But that was back when my schools were tiny, so everyone kind of knew everyone else. sweatdrop
I wish I had some real advice to offer. Sorry, man.

I'm just really sad today.Hmph.
Despite all of the great things that have been transpiring in my life lately and the fact that I'm halfway through my final exams, the hardest one now out of the way, I just find myself incredibly sad.
I have all of these great things to be happy about, my application to Florida State University is nearly finished, I just have to gather and send my transcripts, and in general I'm just at a really good place in my life right now.
I think a large part of my sadness may be due to the fact that I can't help but feel used by my "friends."
I do a lot for the people I care about, in fact I'd pretty much do anything, and while I don't expect anything in return it's their empty promises for demonstrating their gratitude that leave me feeling, essentially, burnt out.
I feel it's time for me to treat myself, to put others aside and focus on what i want and need and just pursue them.
Right now I really want some ******** chocolate covered strawberries and a glass of champagne, though.

My roommates aren't the problem, I am.So I just came to the conclusion that when it comes to my incessant issues with my roommates, past and present, the issue is me and not my roommates.
I understand that I'm a very particular person but at the same time I'm very easy going and understanding.
My problem with living with people is that I just can't tolerate inconsideracy.
The issues I have with my roommates, past and present though not all inclusive, is that from my perspective, or rather matter of factly, they don't stop and think about anyone but themselves.
Case in point: I have this weird thing about dirty dishes sitting in the sink for extended periods of time. I grew up under the belief that after you eat or dirty silverware of tableware that you are to then clean it. Not leave it in the sink for you to clean at a later date but to clean it thereafter eating. My roommates do not share this same philosophy and will continue to dirty and not wash dishes until pretty much every dish we own is dirty and in the sink.
I get that everyone has different living habits but even in my particular nature I always consider other people.
So yeah, I'm the problem. I think I might be too considerate.

It's funny, because every roommate I've had has listed that (the dirty dishes thing) as a pet peeve, and yet not a single one of them ever cleaned up after themselves in a timely manner. I mean, I don't expect them to rush to do the dishes immediately after eating, but like...within 24 hours would be nice. :/ If I knew the others hadn't eaten, I'd try to get the cookware cleaned, at least, so they wouldn't have to wash it in order to cook their own meals.
xp
Long story short: I feel your pain.

I'm proper chuffed! What an honor it is to have been nominated and then awarded such an achievement! First and foremost I must to thank any and all who were involved in putting this into motion. It really means a lot for anyone to even consider me fit for such a thing. Thank you :3 I've never given a thought to what I do here in this guild but to think that I'm making a positive impact, well it glazes my doughnut (butters my toast)! Lots of love <3

Really disappointed but, ironically, not surprised. One of my three roommates is an open homosexual. He's a bit more flamboyant than your typical guy, but he's himself and I applaud him for that.
My biggest issue with him, however, is his rampant ignorance.
Reading off his phone about how the Supreme Court here in the U.S. ruled one of the states' ban on gay marriage unconstitutional he seemed somehow dignified. Not but ten minutes later when the four of us get on the topic of the term "lesbian" does he really show his cluelessness.
He kept referring to the term "lesbian" as a non-interchangeable word with "gay" and, although I don't remember exactly what he said, he seemed to be devaluing the term "lesbian" as a whole while simultaneously saying that he didn't think women could identify as "gay" because it just wasn't "right."
Thereafter I tried to explain to him that it's simply a preferred term. Using "queer" as an example he then proceeded to say that anyone who identifies as "queer" should be "ashamed of themselves and embarrassed" claiming the term was "negative."
I will admit that none of these things coming from him surprises me but his ignorance is still somewhat disappointing. For an openly homosexual man who, with many faults of his own, seems to parade around like he speaks the entirety of the LGBT and gay community, I really had to fight the urge to chew him a new one.
This is probably one of my biggest peeves; it bothers so intensely that anyone within a community that is time and time again put down and demeaned would proceed to do themselves.
Guh, ruined my night really, especially when he laughed about it.

He kinda sounds like a real tool. confused I get that a lot of people aren't comfortable referring to themselves as queer, especially if they're used to hearing the term used pejoratively, but it's pretty presumptuous for him to say that those of us who do identify as queer should be ashamed of ourselves.
The joys of roommates, eh?

Troof!
Aw well, he can drown in his own close-minded ignorance.

Karma works in mysterious ways.My life this week has been a ******** disaster. Incredibly unsatisfactory, disappointing, stressful, and anxiety overloading. Everything had been going my way, things were as good as they could've gotten considering the circumstances and then some unexpected financial strain just shat on my parade.
Quite literally, I have no money at this point in time. I can't afford to buy a pack of gum let alone pay for my utilities. Luckily, I've paid rent for my apartment through July, when my lease is up, so I don't have to worry about that. But I do still have to pay for electricity which, for the time being, I have to bum off Mum and Dad. But I've only about a month or two to pay for, coming up.
On top of all of that I've, once again, been having troubles with a boy I really like. Naturally, whenever I get into a situation where I genuinely like someone, infatuation and thereforth, I find myself incredibly insecure because, as the type of person I am, I need to have things clear and not complicated. I need that other person to be straightforward with me about their intentions and their feelings toward me, and of course I have no idea what this boy wants from me or what he thinks about me, really.
Despite all of this, today is a really good day. I think Karma and the cosmos came together to knock me down a step. I can't say I'm suddenly more appreciative of things but certainly my life is in perspective now.
Now to make the best of everything and see if I can't set things right again.
