[Edreina's Scrapbook] When All is Silent, I Still Hear Waves

[Arundel]

I tip my hat to you. I can say I've been hurt before, but not exactly in that way. It's a hard thing to go through at first. I kind of haven't been the same since. I think it's given me commitment issues, because I've broken several hearts since him. I never cheated, and I was never unfaithful, but sometimes I would just wake up and not want to be with who I was with. And so I wouldn't be. I have absolutely no feelings for him, but he left a very lasting impression and I think I'm kind of screwed up in the dating department. Fingers crossed that I won't suddenly wake up and break my current boyfriend's heart. He's a good man - flaws and all.

Not that I've left a trail of broken hearts in my wake. I can count them on one hand.

P.S.: The sniffing ass pic about made me about crack up right in the middle of graphic design class. Damn you, my Svefran love.

Beware, guys, Arun will chew you up and spit you out.

Hey, no worries, though. I share your commitment issues. ">.< It gets annoying, eh?

This is just so I can find this link at home.

Well, if you ladies want to drop the [i]him[\i]'s and come join the all girls team there are spots available. Just sayin'. I kid. Those were great stories about love. Really makes you think when you're walking in someone else's shoes like that. I wish you luck with whatever comes next sweetheart.

[Edreina]

Hahaha! I play for both teams, actually. ;P

I glad y'all liked my story. There's more to it, but it's over and done now. I finally blocked his number about a week ago.

[Edreina]

Yeah. That's how serious I am about finishing NaNo... That's an $80 keyboard for my iPad (and my dad's foot and a video my sister wanted me to look up after dinner but still! ... And yes... We have Texas Flag dinner plates!). xD Don't say I'm not driven!!!

[Harrier]

Everything's bigger in Texas Even NaNo!

Doctor in the house?

Oooohhh this is a shyke night!

Had a lovely phone conversation that made hours slide by like minutes, realized a few things I've been too pragmatic to admit, and allowed myself to feel like a lovesick puppy for a moment before bottling that silliness up again.

But, then poop happened. An ex of mine just sent me a really threatening text message from his cousin's phone. This wouldn't be scary if he didn't normally live about 8 hours away whereas his cousin lives about five minutes away... I'm hoping it's just his cousin being stupid, but it is still keeping me from sleeping properly (at all...).

Hm. Backstory would probably be nice. You all know about Layton if you've already read this scrap, but what I neglected to mention, because it makes me feel like an idiot, is that after all the drama with him breaking my heart, I fell for the whole "It was a mistake! I still love you! Please please please take me back!" bit. Yes. I know experienced women the world over are groaning and rolling their eyes at this. What I found out shortly (I mean three days) after taking him back was that he was having (ahem) intimate relations with his neighbor.

Needless to say I was pissed and called him every mean word I could think of. *proudly holds up a rather puny curse-word-dictionary*

This is where his crazy came back into play. He started on about how I was his, was meant to be his, and it would always be so. It was... scary. He would stop talking to me for awhile, come back contrite, then start up on that aforementioned bit and how since I'm fat, no man will ever love me like he does and I'm stupid and worthless and-

You get it. Typical crazy ex that wouldn't take a hint.

Blocked him recently (Thank you iOS 7!) and moved on without a word. Then tonight happens and I'm back to sitting here biting my nails and wishing a gun were closer.

Anywho! On to the main point of this scrap. ...Wow that was a long tangent.

Randomly, my wrists and ankles will break out in severe hive-looking-bump-things. It isn't an environmental factor that I can think of, but occurs randomly. They start out small but spread over the course of 15 minutes until an entire patch of skin is inflamed. It will also disappear as quickly as it appears. Could it perhaps be stress?

I've had that happen a couple of times. They'll stop showing up when you're more at ease. There isn't any treatment I know of, aside from maybe anti-itch cream if they're itchy enough to be bothersome.

[Edreina]

Thank you, Khida!

AND turns out, it was my ex but he was just drunk and screwing with me. Bastard.

So we found a deer in our yard today... Dying... Something had torn out it's throat and its lower jaw and bitten off it's front foreleg... I don't know what around here would have done that but I'm afraid to go outside now.

Anyone know of a predator in Central Texas capable of such a thing?

Bobcats and mountain lions can.
