I feel sorry for myself because I have swollen glands :(

― ThErEdNeD (ThErEdNeD), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I've behaved like a complete and utter idiot in trying to get someone to come back to me. I'm defeated, ashamed, mortified and in horrendous pain. I deserve it, but I'm feeling incredibly sorry for myself nonetheless.

― Saskia, Monday, 12 May 2003 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself for having to get out of bed in the morning. I know this is unreasonable. Except in the morning.

I feel sorry for myself because I've been editing a long report that has left my brain completely frazzled.

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

-my fucking cable has gone out so I have no idea what happened on six feet under

-my 20 page paper on eminem has not happened yet

-because i am all talk no action

― Eve, Monday, 12 May 2003 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Eve, at least you get to watch 6 Feet Under. :(

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Note above. I feel sorry for myself b/c I have no HBO. among other things.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't have any money. boo hoo hoo.

My left hamstring (?) hurts like a bastard and I am broke until next Friday. Also I need a gurl.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 12 May 2003 23:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Oddly enough my left hamstring is also annoying me.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 12 May 2003 23:08 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG we are Trans-Atlantic strained hamstring brothers!

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Monday, 12 May 2003 23:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself because I did something this weekend that I've wanted to do for a long time, but I was half-asleep when doing it and now the recollection is all fuzzy.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

AND I am feeling sorry for myself because I have become a "Gobstoppers" junkie, as of late, and they (the evil meanies at Willy Wonka) just made them smaller and less tasty and they don't last as long and are too easy to crunch.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm working a shift at a bookstore all by myself, and the customers are screaming their fucking heads off on cellphones and shit, and because i'm by myself i don't have anybody to make pained expressions to when they bray and snort over my aretha franklin and impressions cds.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

aargh. the teenagers in the cafe next door are screaming so loud that the support group for laid off tech workers has migrated to our reading table. i mean, if this therapist is so great why doesn't he have his own office?

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Vahid - do your customers re-arrange the shelves for you, too?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:50 (twenty-two years ago)

especially in the psychology/self-help section. we have lots and lots of books laid flat on low tables, many customers like to re-arrange those books using their ass (y'know, cause the reading table is now a therapist's office and teenagers are making out in the kid's play area).

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Now I feel sorry for myself because a certain special man with whom I thought I had a certain special connection "just wants to be friends."

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

OH NO! I didn't even see this thead! I just posted a big long whine thread that really really belonged here.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 04:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for That Girl because she doesn't have HBO.

Oh, thicko me, I thought this was the "I feel sorry for someone else" thread. ;)

On the original topic, I feel sorry for myself because I'm craving chocolate and there's none to be had anywhere in this house. Damn you, Food Network's "Top 5"! "Top 5 Ways to Lose Yourself in Chocolate?" Grrrr.

vahid: Do you happen to work at a Barnes & Noble? Because if you do, then all of them must be overrun by the same sort of clientele. I've seen the Teens. They make me wonder for a short while if I was that much of an ass back then, but then I think, if I was that way, my parents would've slapped me and I never got a slap back then.

Anyway, if you do work at a B&N, I'm truly sorry for you.

― Dee the Semi-Lurker (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 04:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i feel sorry for myself because i'm in the prime of my life and in a sexless relationship

― semi-anon (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 04:53 (twenty-two years ago)

dee - no, the bookstore i work at is: 1) independent, 2) older than me and 3) small enough that one person is enough to keep it open. it's like the size of a ... of a ... i don't know, like the size of a mcdonald's. but nothing like mcdonald's, so i really have nothing to feel sorry for myself about.

i did used to work at a barnes and noble, before I reached the promised land.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 06:54 (twenty-two years ago)

besides, you can't surf the net while you work at barnes & noble, or play your own cds from home.

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 06:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself because:

-I hate my job and I can't get motivated to find a better one
-My band has broken up and I can't be motivated to establish a new one
-Besides, it would be nice if just ONCE, someone actually asked ME if I wanted to play with THEM
-I can't afford my flat and I never have any money because my meagre paycheck is always gone on rent

― kate, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 07:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh god and, much worse than the other thing, I just found out that my arch-nemesis from grade school is a star student at Harvard. I feel like I just lost the game of life.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 07:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't feel sorry for myself because pretty much all the shitty things in my life are my own fault and if I could just be man enough to get off my arse and deal with them I'd probably be quite happy.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 08:07 (twenty-two years ago)

But... but... you can only REALLY feel sorry for yourself about things that *ARE* your own fault. Because the phrase "feeling sorry for yourself" implies that it's not justified. If bad things happen to you, then you're entitled to be depressed. If you cause bad things to happen to yourself through inaction, then that's "feeling sorry for yourself".

― kate, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 08:15 (twenty-two years ago)

i didn't get the job - i feel unemployable. i think it was because i rarely use keyboard shortcuts in Macromedia FLash - but for fucks sake i could've done the job in my sleep

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Blimey the only thing I feel sorry for myself about is having to get up early tomorrow to get the bus to Oxford.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself because I am cold and thought "oh I do not need a cardigan" this morning. And I'm still in Woolwich. And I am beating myself up trying to update my CV. And because my belly is big.

But on the other hand I have happy red shoes!!

― Sarah (starry), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 09:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and also because I forgot to eat breakfast this morning... or rather, HSA didn't have anything for me to eat. And I don't have the money to buy anything. So I have to starve until 1pm. Which is doing WONDERS for my moods. Not only do I want to bite the heads off my colleagues because I hate my job, but I want to bite their heads off, chew and digest because I'm freaking hungry. :-(

― kate, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm, I see what you mean, Kate, but I saw it as a more "bugger, I got soaked by a bus going through a puddle" kinda thing rather than "I knew I should have applied for that ideal job which my arch-nemesis has just been given".

The whole job thing, then. Never mind my applications have been an endangered species - why doesn't someone chase ME for a change? Huh?

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I just got my final evaluation and my prinicpal did *not* recommend me for certification.

Jeez, nothing like starting off a workday knowing your boss thinks you completely suck. I want to go home, go back to bed, cry and feel terribly sorry for myself.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:02 (twenty-two years ago)

no forget that. I just want to fall into a hole in the ground and disappear. I already felt a big depression coming on and I think this has sealed the deal.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Jeez, nothing like starting off a workday knowing your boss thinks you completely suck. I want to go home, go back to bed, cry and feel terribly sorry for myself.

i've been there, its a bitch - i showed him tho, it was another 18 months before he decided to let me go...

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit, I'm sorry about that.I take it that this means that he won't be able to pay you properly and you won't be able to go anywhere else. It sounds like a cynical bastard doing his budget for next year.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Cuz a girl I felt a very strong romantic connection with broke it up not cuz she doesn't like me, but cuz she doesn't have enought time to be in a "relationship". And much to my surprise, this is apparently not a lie/excuse...WTF?

And then, I feel like an asshat cuz I keep trying to call her and she's like really uncomfortable about it, so finally I just left her a voice mail that said "um...sorry for being such an asshat" (I'm not good at voice mail) and I hope she doesn't feel all awkward or whatever now.

But actually I don't really feel sorry for myself on some scale that I would actually say "I feel sorry for myself" to someone, so, to this situation, I choose to plead the "meh".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

That Girl, I'm really sorry to hear that.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Ditto to Stence and Ed. :-(

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes well one of my colleagues thinks he is racist and gives bad reviews to anyone who isn't black. Another colleagues said it might be his way of keeping me here as now I am prevented from going to any other school. I'm not sure he's a racist, an idiot yes, and I'm also not sure about the 'trying to keep me' thing. There's a hiring freeze on teachers anyway so I'm unsure where I would go.

I think it's just b/c I suck. And the kids are off the hook this week. And I have about 8 hours of tedious altering of state documents ahead of me tonight. (they are forcing us to go back and 'correct' all of our attendence sheets from day one. Note that correct means alter to match their records. And it's due tomorrow.)

If no one hears from me tomorrow, send those TX Rangers to check on me. They don't need to be harassing our representatives anyway (my rep is one of the ones hiding in OK. yay.)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I get the same thing except my boss only promotes the gay men. Seriously.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i like the place where i work but not my job.
i like a boy v. much (who also likes me, yay) but i haven't seen him in too long and won't for maybe a week more cos of a play he's in.
so, see, there's good, and bad.
i like to beat myself up, saying "at least you *have* a job..."

― praying mantis (praying mantis), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I forgot that I finished up my breakfast supply at work yesterday. So I didn't have any this morning. Then I found some saltine crackers in my drawer so I finished those off, but there weren't very many so I still feel like I'm starving. 1o'clock!!!!! Please come fast!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I may have cracked a rib playing football and it hurts when I move or breathe or laugh or sneeze. It's crappy.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 21:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Because goddammit fuck.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I have gotten a cold just in time for my birthday which means I have to put off my birthday dinner plans for a few days.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

My foot hurts like a motherfucker. My "job" sucks. Nobody's emailed me about a new one, or called me back.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

sympathies to you all, especially ddg and nicklaicious. that sucks. i don't feel sorry for myself, i despise myself.

― di smith (lucylurex), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I was sorry for myself but now I feel silly, after reading a couple things in this thread (ask me in ten years, then I'll be really sorry for myself). I'm sorry Samantha, that sucks.

― Maria (Maria), Thursday, 15 May 2003 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself because I have a throat infection and I can't bloody talk.

Also because I have no money, in fact I never have any money, as a consequence I hardly ever see my friends. I am trying to convince myself this will change.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 15 May 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself because I have a throat infection and I can't bloody talk.

I had one of those once, it was really painful and terrible. Hope you feel better soon!

I offer to kick Samantha's principal in the shins. Even though my knee is still in really poor condition, I figure it has one good kick still left in it.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 15 May 2003 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks for the sympathy. I feel better about it today. After I get hurt I feel sorry for myself and then I get pissed and have a general "well fuck you anyway!" attitude. heh. oh and I went out and drank last night.

I hope everyone else who is experiencing self-sorrow has something brighten their day today.

(btw, nicole my prinicipal is really short - like 5'3"- so maybe you could aim higher!)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 15 May 2003 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i feel sorry for myself because i have stomach cramps from hell that i'm still not completely sure aren't my appendix's way of telling me it wants out.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Thursday, 15 May 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yet another "Gosh, we're the perfect partnership. Oh wait, she just wants to be friends. Excuse me while I writhe in agony and awkwardness and ugliness" post.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 15 May 2003 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel sorry for myself today because I'm suddenly ill, which could interfere with my lovingly crafted weekend plans. And the cold/flu thing has arrived at the same time as my period, charmingly.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 16 May 2003 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

the moment i become conscious of feeling sorry for myself i stop and start enjoying the pouting.

― arthur woodlouse (arthur woodlouse), Friday, 16 May 2003 10:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't sleep worth a sweet goddamn anymore and I think I'm becoming bitchier* because of it. I want things I can't have.

*It was a surprise to me, too, who'd have thought it could get worse?
