Not to worry, I'll get online tonight.

Also, thanks for the tips Kari. I've found that keeping warmth on my ear soothes it. If it doesn't get better soon, though, I plan on going to the clinic. :/

do eet. if it's viral, it'll go away on its own, but being that you don't get sick as often as i do, you might not be able to tell when it's viral or not. (tbh i can't tell 100% of the time, either.) if it's bacterial, you'll need something to get rid of it.

So, jury duty was cancelled. I don't have to get up so damn early tomorrow : D

Chocofreak13 · May 26, 2014, 09:25:41 PM

xD

wtf happened?

Nichi · May 26, 2014, 09:35:48 PM

With jury duty, there's a chance that the case closes before the court date (Most commonly, both parties settling out of court); which means you don't have to go there -w-
It's why they have a hotline in place; telling you to call after 5PM the day before the trial for a prerecorded message giving you any updates, making things more convenient.

Probably a plea bargain or dismissal. Or, being Texas, the defendant was executed ahead of trial to save time.

IDK what the case even was for; that info they don't give you until you get there for jury duty. I doubt it was for anything severe enough for a death penalty; for all I know, it could just be a guy suing someone else for taking the last Duck Dynasty hat at Family Dollar :\

Oh my god, I lol'd.

Whatever the case is, I'm glad you got off of jury duty.

@Simon: Anyone who can just leave you like that probably isn't worth it.

I don't mean to sound harsh or insensitive but the first step is to try to work through any problems. Not just break up. Especially not via TEXT.

Anyone with that mindset isn't worth your time or effort. >:/

Chocofreak13 · May 27, 2014, 11:29:20 AM

not to pry, but did you meet the girl in person?

cause i speak from experience when i say that random internet relationships never last~

(bells and stew aren't really counted here since they knew each other well before dating, and have met up in person several times/made future plans together.)

Nichi · May 27, 2014, 11:43:51 AM

I haven't even had a relationship in any medium, so I don't know shit : D
(Although, I'm sure someone in my circle could give me some pointers to make myself appear more interesting)

Now she wants me back... apparently she thought my summer plans to see her were on shaky grounds.
It seems she was just really hurting

To choco.
We talk to each other on skype, we text each other constantly, like into the wee hours of the night.
We have never seen each other face to face physicaly, but the plan was and still is for me to go this summer.

To Pent:
If you havn't found someone being yourself yet, keep trying.
You wont find the right one by acting like who your not.

Chocofreak13 · May 27, 2014, 02:06:26 PM

dude, she dumps you and then picks you right back up.

i mean, seriously? wtf?

Bella · May 27, 2014, 02:22:16 PM

I'm not surprised. I've heard of a lot of people who "break up" in anger/sadness/frustration and then ask to get back together shortly thereafter.

It's up to you to decide what to do. If you get back together, try to set up some ground rules - let her know you care about her and that you were very hurt when she broke up with you. Try to resolve to work through your troubles rationally instead of acting on emotion or impulse. Figure out a way to see each other if that's the root of the issue, and make sure your plans are set in stone if you do decide to meet up.

@Pent: What Simon said. Work on being yourself and being comfortable with yourself, most people are very attracted to confidence. (Of course, some people go overboard with this and wind up sliding into arrogant douche territory.) Also, cultivating one or more skills or areas of knowledge is helpful too. Lastly, socializing with like-minded people helps. Granted, I have trouble with this too ... so I can't give advice on how to find like-minded people offline.
