#i know a shit ton of people have herps

[atomicallysound]

27/7/23 - late

growing up is hard. it’s 4am right now. well, 3:56am if you wanna be technical about it. i remember the first time i stayed up until 4am i was 8 or 9 years old and i stayed up cuz i was was watching american dad with my sister… then she went to bed and i went playing on my computer. i was listening to spanish flea by herp albert on loop for like three fuckin hours, i remember cuz i drew my oc cakies playing the trumpet. it was actually a pretty good drawing for what i could do at the time, with my fucking mouse and mspaint and all — but that’s besides the point. after all that i went on minecraft and joined random servers and started arguing with people just to be annoying. man, it was so entertaining! it got to 4am at that point and i remmeber thinking “wow, this’ll probably be the latest i’ll EVER stay up!” then my dad came home from wherever the fuck he was and i went to sleep.

but about that… isn’t it something how when you were a kid; staying up was this monumental unheard of action? i always felt so wild staying up to even midnight. now it’s like whatever. just another night.

i’m not even tired yet. i’m TIRED, of course, but i’m not sleepy. i have this fucking headache too. and i can’t stop sneezing, so even if i could sleep, i’d be too busy sneezing to do anything about it. i think i’m getting sick. i don’t know where from since i haven’t really gone anywhere since i quit my job. man, i really fucked myself over by taking a nap earlier! at like 3 or 4pm i was depressed as all hell so i thought i’d sleep it off. it worked, i felt better when i woke up, but i woke up at like 8pm and royally fucked my sleeping schedule… oh well, i’ll just drink a shit ton of coffee tomorrow. or, later, i guess… i don’t really consider past midnight to be “tomorrow” until the sun rises. i don’t really drink coffee anymore… i used to be all about it but the last time i drank it was a deeply terrible latte from like, 3 weeks ago…

i got that deeply terrible latte because i went to starbucks to have a table to write at, and the employees were all having a lovely conversation with eachother and i suddenly felt sorry as hell for coming up to them because then that meant they’d have to stop talking just to give me my stupid drink. i wanted to jump out the fucking window at that point but i’d already walked up to the counter, and i wanted a caramel macchiato but i couldn’t remember if that was simple or hard to make — and i didn’t want to be any more of a bother than i already felt i was, so i decided to order the most basic simplest drink i could think of so they could go back to their conversation sooner, and ordered just an iced latte, please.

maybe i shouldn’t have gone to starbucks anyway because the latte sucked, it was like four fucking bucks for this muddy puddle water with a few ice cubes in it, the table i was writing at sucked & was sticky, these girls behind me kept laughing in my direction and i couldn’t tell if they were laughing AT me or just laughing & happened to look near me, i felt like an idiot, i didn’t even have anything to write about, the fire alarm kept going off cuz they were testing it, honestly why am i even talking about this? who cares? what is wrong with me? why do i feel like the scum of the earth for daring to buy a drink from people who make drinks for a living? maybe there is something wrong with me… or maybe it’s just starbucks. i don’t really like starbucks that much. 90% of my starbucks visits where id buy something have been thoroughly unpleasant. there was an incident with a certain vegan breakfast sandwich. there was a muffin i bought to share with my friend who then decided she didn’t want any and i had to sadly eat this muffin by myself while she just watched. there was a hot chocolate i burned my tongue on. but i will admit, their caramel macchiatos are good.

the birds are singing outside. it’s like 4:30 now. 4:29 if you wanna get technical about it. how have i spent half an hour writing already?

i kinda wanna stay up and go watch the sunrise. but at the same time… sleeping sounds good. goodnight friends

I'm in the middle of my herpetology final (no time limit) and there's a question on the pet trade & how sellers falsely sell their amphibians & reptiles as "captive-bred" and it just made me think of all the herps I've seen as pets on Tumblr, insta, YT, etc...and just wondered how many came from the wild. Most of them, probably. And honestly, learning about how damaging the exotic pet industry/community is to wild populations just...makes me more and more anti-exotic pets...bleh

#exotic pets #wildlife #conservation #herpetology #herps #exotic pet trade #idk man #i know a shit ton of people have herps #and while a tiny amount of peeps keep herps responsibly and source them from actual breeders.. #it's just... #depressing bc the other chunk doesn't #and it's Not Good for wild populations #aLSO DISEASE lmfao there's a lot of issues w spread of disease #anyways going back to my assignment #controversial opinions #??? #whatev #free of charge thoughts

I’m new to this, I don’t know what to do. Is this anonymous?

I feel like there is really a lack of support for people with herpes. It’s been a few hard days. I’m feeling lots of guilt and anger toward The Guy.

It’s been a month since we were both diagnosed. I broke out first and was hardly sick,he got way sick. So the month has been hard because we went from wanting to be casual to this all because things got too hot and heated and we didn’t use a condom. We talked our status and decided we were clean based on recent testing, but to use condoms but things kept being too hot.

I’m going to start from the top because I have to get it all out!

December ‘19 the guy I was sleeping with texted me and told me he “burned himself by his pelvic region cooking bacon” He proceed to also say went and got testing and come back positive for HSV1. Well we were both drunk and he’s telling me about going to the Dr after all this. I’m like you sure you’re not lying about the burn and he reassured me.

A few days later I had a sore so I went to my Dr right away. She didn’t think it looked like herpes and refused to swab it based on that, but asked if I got cold sores (I don’t) and did blood work. It’s important to note that I had told her that the condom we had used was really dry and hurt so bad we had to stop.

My blood work came back positive to HSV and that I was having an active outbreak at 0.87 lab value. I started valtrax and tumbled in to depression trying to accept my new life. Of course after all this, the guy stopped talking to me so that really enforced that I was positive.

However I always knew I didn’t have it. I didn’t have any of the symptoms and I was pretty sure that I had tore. But I kept having bumps after I shaved. I investigate my vagina all the time, compared pictures, and did tons of research.

I found out that my blood work never distinguish between HSV 1 or 2 and that my “active outbreak” is considered a negative level.

When I finally got the balls in May to get retested I went to Planned Parenthood and retold the story. The Dr reassured me that I didn’t have herpes. She refused to swab me confident that I suffer from razor burn. I begged her to test my blood and come back positive for HSV 1 positive (surprise) and HSV 2 negative.

I can not explain the relief! The sigma attached to it, I didn’t have to deal with, but here I could be an advocate and understanding to people that are positive.

I still hadn’t regained my confidence, but was ready to conquer the world again and over come this and other things that I’m self conscious about.

Well The Guy is my neighbor who has pursed me for sometime. I kindly rejected him, because I wasn’t interested, but at the time I thought I had herepes. He didn’t let up and all this sexual tension built between us some how and well here we are, both of us are positive.

We decided not to play the blame game, to support each other through this. Well where the fuck is he? Not supporting me! I mean I can’t blame him, it’s been a hard month. He was so sick and had so much pain, then got a kidney stone, and is falling in to depression. I think he blames me because I broke out first. I blame him because I had blood work showing I was HSV2 negative. He claims to have had testing 3 partners ago, not sure if they tested for HSV, but he asked for everything and was negative, oh and lets not forget he had a Tinder one night stand 3-4 weeks before. I on the other hand haven’t had protected sex for 6 month and unprotected for a year. So what just having sex “triggered” me to outbreak as the carrier? I don’t believe it!

So yeah I wanted his support because now were in this together. But he’s ghosted me and now I’m just ANGRY and feeling guiltily.

Why the fuck couldn’t he just leave me alone when I said I wasn’t interested, we could be alone dealing with herpes ourselves (whoever was the carrier), I could be living my life oblivious and working on myself! I’m so mad at him, I want to bust in to his apartment and yell at him. And honestly guys want the fuck is with the narrative, ‘I can’t cum with a condom on.’??? Well figure it out because I want to be safe, but I also want to get you off.

But really the worst part is that I’m over here beating myself up. Did I learn nothing from before? How could I be so stupid to not use a condom when I knew better, when I want to practice safe sex, and I was so afraid of actually getting herpes because of the way it made me feel when I was misdiagnosed and the stigma. Most of all, why I am I so trusty and falling for another guys bull shit. SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!

So yeah I’m having a hard time. I do have a friend who is positive that I have reached out to, but I don’t want to bother her with my spiraling out of control thoughts.

Yes I’m going to start counseling. But mostly I wish there was more support. I don’t need to be told its just a skin condition, its not a big deal, lots of people have it.

I GET IT!

I’m talking support like:

How do you feel better about yourself?

Are the dating apps for positive people good?

How do I tell my partners?

How do I deal with rejection?

Can I ever get eaten out again? Only if he’s positive?

What’s the risk of passing it on without sexual contact? This is my most irrational fear! I work with an extremely venerable population of babies. What if I don’t wash my hands well enough and they get it and die? What if my nieces or nephews get it from linen, poor hand washing, sitting on my lap? What if someone else gets it?

Why does the thought of viral shedding worry e so much in every day life?

Why do I feel so gross even though I’m clean?

Who do I tell besides partners?

Do I start suppression medication?

Am I going to breakout all the time because I hardly got sick?

I’M SPIRALING!!!!

Marcus Lopez: Obliviousness

Requested by: Anon(:

Request: Could you write a Marcus from Deadly Class request of the reader being a fellow Rat and her and Marcus develop feelings for each other and one night after a fight she ends up at Marcus’ room and while he patches her up he takes the opportunity to tease her since the roles are reversed since she’s always scolding him about picking fights?

Notes: hello. I hope you like it, anon babe. Sorry the formatting is weird. I wrote this in word document and pasted it here and it’s so weird.

Warnings: uhhhh violence. Cursing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n’s POV

“[Name], have you heard about the new kid?” Billy asked. New kid? I’m literally the last to know about everything. “No? What new kid? Why’s he here?” Billy looked at Petra and shrugged. “Supposedly he burned down the children’s home he was at. Killed a shit ton of kids.” Petra was oddly amused at the fact that Billy insisted on calling him ‘the kiddy killer’. “Heh. Okay. What’s his actual name, Bil?” “Marcus.” We all turned to where the voice was coming from. “You’re the kiddy killer? I thought you’d be more, you know, deadly.” I smacked Lex on the arm. I walked over to him and stuck out my hand for him to shake. “I’m [name]. Nice to meet you, Marcus.”

He took my hand gently and shook it. “Nice to meet you too. So what’s the deal with this place? I heard a few things about royalty?” Poor Marcus. He was so clueless as to what the hell this place was. “We’ve got royalty and we’ve got rats. Royalty are people who’s parents are like cops and fbi and celebrities and gangsters. Rats are like the scum of the earth. We’re people like you, homeless or parentless or parents who abuse us and worse things. Everyone here has gangs. You’ve got Saya and the Yakuzas. You’ve got Willie and the gangsters. You’ve got Brandy Lynn and the nazis, Maria and Chico with the Soto Vatos. And me with the rats.” He looked around and sighed. “Welcome to the club, Arguello.”

Marcus and I have become a lot closer since he’s been here. We were all hanging out in the graveyard. “So what’s the deal between you and Marcus? When are you guys going to fuck? I’m tired of waiting.” Petra asked while tapping her imaginary watch. Marcus was the first to speak up. “I don’t have feelings for [name]. We’re just really good friends.” Billy gave me a sorrowful look since he knew how much I liked Marcus. I hid my feelings and played along. “Yeah, man. We’re just friends. Calm your tits.” Lex and Petra laughed and carried on with their conversation. Marcus went on to do his own thing. Billy came to me and put his arm around my shoulder. “I’m sorry that he’s an asshat. You’re really great and if I didn’t just have my heart ripped out of my chest by Petra I’d date you.” I laughed while wiping a tear away. “That makes no sense but okay. We’re just two heartbroken kids, huh?” He hugged me and nodded. “Most definitely.”

I was walking to the Poison lab, because who doesn’t like poison? I saw that Brandy Lynn was picking on Petra again. “Hey, blondie. Step away from the girl. I believe she’s had enough of your torture.” She looked at me and scoffed. Now we were standing toe to toe. Petra was desperately trying to get me to back down, but I’ve seriously had enough of her shit. “What’re you gonna do about it, rat?” I shook my head. “Oh that’s it!” I head butted her and she fell down.

“Who the fuck do you think you are, huh? I’ll fuck you up.” She got up and lunges forward to punch me but I ducked and she missed, causing her to stumble. “I’m your worst nightmare.” I grabbed her head and slammed it into the lockers. She turned around and punched me in the stomach and I fell to the ground. “Worst nightmare? In your shitty dreams.” She kicked me in the stomach and punched me. While she was too busy congratulating herself, I grabbed her by the leg and she hit the ground. Now straddling her, I threw punch after punch after punch. “I swear to god. If you ever fuck with her again, I’ll literally kill you.” Next thing I knew I was being pulled off of her by Marcus.

We ended up in his room so he could tend to my wounds. Shab wasn’t there. God knows where that kid was. “Well, well, well. You know you should take your own advice more often.” I shook my head laughing. “What? I wanted to try being a hero for once.” He sighed and placed peroxide on my cut by my lip. “That’s my job, so leave that to me, please.” “You can’t have all the fun, Marcus. Sharing is caring.” I pouted. I didn’t realize how close he was until I looked up at him. “I don’t wanna share if it means you get hurt. When Petra came and got me, I was so scared for you. This place is full of people who could kill you in a matter of seconds.”

Now I was angry. Who does he think he is? Pretending to care and shit. I’m sure he’d rather be sucking faces with Maria than clean up blood from my eyebrow. “You know you don’t have to do that, right? Pretending to care about me? That’s like really mean, dude.” He laughed, offendedly. “I’m not pretending, [name]. I actually do care for you. I-I love you.” What? “What? Dude, like two days ago, you said you didn’t have feelings for me.” He shrugged and ran a hand through his soft curls. “I lied. I didn’t think you’d like me back. I thought maybe you liked Billy or Lex.” Ugh, as if.

“Lex is a complete asshole and I’m pretty sure he has genital herpes. And Billy is completely in love with Petra. I thought I was being really obvious about my feelings. I mean, we even made out once!” He dragged a hand down his face. “We were both drunk at that party! And obvious how?” I laughed. “My excessive amount of touching? I’ve kissed your cheek so many times. We’re literally always cuddling, holding hands, or holding each other. I take every chance I can to sit on your laps and I’m always playing with your hair! You’re the most oblivious person I’ve ever met!”

He closed his eyes in a contemplating manner and seconds later, ended up kissing me. I ignored the stinging sensation in my lip as he kissed me so hungrily. Even now, our kiss is filled with so much passion and love. We pulled away and placed our foreheads together. “I love you too, Marcus.” He laughed. “I’m aware.”

[Post 1 of 3]

Wow! What a week. Summer Crush truly took the life of me, and the way some of these hook ups went, it took the life out of you too. 

Instead of giving everyone an entire rundown of the day-by-day events, I took it upon myself to collect the top ten moments that I felt really stood out to ME, The Daily Pier!

TEN.

I should probably start this countdown off with the Noah/Diana/Natasha triangle going on that none of them know that they are a part of. It’s the most heartwarming thing to happen during this event and I LOVE it! Ok, so just to catch you all up to speed, #SinCarter were married once upon a slay. They eloped when they were off being WAR CRIMINALS for the USA or whatever. So once Natasha began to explore her latent homosexuality that she had repressed all these years the two came to the mutual agreement to just divorce. (Also, her sister was dealing with like, a meth addiction, or something, so that probably didn’t help the relationship). So fast forward 10 years and here they are in the same town with TONS of baggage, and unfinished business.

BUT WAIT a new challenger approaches in Diana Taylor. Noah and Diana have been getting pretty close these past view months. Some people have even said that he’s the rebound to that Daniel guy she was dating. I mean, after MONTHS of heavy petting and will they/won’t they, after their Summer Crush date, rumor has it that the two went back to Noah’s place and … well … *fellatio noises*. Obvs this can’t get out because Diana is in the public eye, so don’t tell anyone.

With a new woman in his life, and the old one present with a lot of shit to work out with him, this new season of the Aryan Chronicles looks promising!

As for who I ship? Well, I want to say #SinCarter because the mutual feelings of their past came back full force during this event. And I still ship Olivia/Diana and Diana/Wes. Neither of which will happen because 1.)Diana and Olivia are “”””””straight”””””””” and 2.)Ever since Diana RANDOMLY left New York she’s been keeping everyone at arms length, especially Wes. Who has too much love to give, and doesn’t deserve that. Who’s to say she won’t do the same to Noah?

I’m watching you Diana (if that is your real name).

NINE.

Q: Rexless_Fan asked “Victor and June hooked up in a fantasy suite and they're roommates so now it's awkward and scandy cuz they haven't told their third roommate at all!”

A: IM SORRY, WHAT BITCH??!!

SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS BUT ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT DURING THEIR MOVIE NIGHT THE POPCORN WASNT ALL THAT WAS POPPIN, BUT HER PUSSY WAS ALSO?!!!!! I KNEW THAT JUNE WAS SECRETLY A BAD GIRL UNDERNEATH IT ALL. SHE PRETENDS THAT SHE ALL PURE AND INNOCENT AND JUST LIKE SIT IN A FUCKING CORNER WITH HER FUCKING BUGS AND FLOWERS OR WHATEVER BUT ANYBODY WHO FUCKS A BACK UP SINGER FOR A MARGINALLY SUCCESSFUL BAND CLEARLY LIVES ON THE FUCKING EDGE!!

I HEARD THE NEWS THAT JUNE, THE DOLL BABY, ARMSTRONG GOT THAT #DIC BUT I DIDN’T BELIEVE IT AND IF WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE SHE IS INDEED A SCREAMER!!!!!!

COMING IN AT NUMBER NINE IS JUNE, WHO HAD YOU ALL FOOLED INTO THINKING SHE WAS A INNOCENT ANGEL BABY. WEVE DECIDED TO STAN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

EIGHT.

Coming in at number eight is Phobe “Pharrah Abraham” Cole. It’s true, she was on top of things in more ways than one. But who am i to judge? I actually think it’s progressive, and super inspiring. I mean, ok, take this with a grain of salt, Im not really trying to lie but ... Phobe? Phobe has Genital Herpes. It’s been two weeks since a flair up (according to sources close to her) and I think it’s really brave of her to disclose her status with the MYRIAD of men she ENGAGED with during the week. It just goes to show that it CAN be done! I mean, you did tell them ... right Phobe? Moving on! I will say that while did used to ship Jack/Phobe during the night they hooked up but since Jack allegedly only lasted about 4 minutes it makes me wonder about a future with the two. So many girls who have been with him have written in and told me sex with him is ABYSMAL! He spends the entire time looking in the mirror or taking selfies that he refuses to be focused on the matter at hand. Of course this is all a rumor, but would you really put it past our neighborhood beauty queen? But I guess this isn’t about Jack, and his short comings. Anyways...

SEVEN.

Q: SharkThot asked “Hey DP I just want to start off by saying that I love your site, I’ve been a loyal viewer for years! And I hope Myles Bennett sees this because I love him even more! I don’t care what you say about him DP, Myles is my bae and would never do anyone wrong! Ugh, He makes me (Shark)Weak! I did see him earlier last week getting BULLIED by that Stark Bitch. What was that about?”

A: Aww, SharkThot,

I assume you mean Heidi Stark, the elusive chanteuse. Her arrival has caused quite the controversy, considering she materialized out of no where. I guess this particular countdown entry will have more to do with her than the actual question. But for those of you who don’t know, Heidi Stark is Julian’s slightly more attractive sister. Her strong presence is quite intimidating, but according to a lot of sources ... She’s a complete fraud. She speaks in an Australian accent, but some say she’s from, like, Missouri and only picked up an accent for #clout. Her “designer” clothes? Ross (Dress for Less). And she apparently was spotted raiding a bunch of Payless Shoe Stores for the cheapest prices prior to their shutdown, where she then proceeded to paint the bottom of all the shoes she got red. Oh! And the degree she got from that fashion school on New York? FORGED! She totally went to Devry. I mean, it’s nothing wrong with that, but omg, just be honest girl. Anyways, back to the point. The #BabySharks (Myles’ fandom name) were INCENSED when they saw Fraudi CORNERING Myles at the speed dating event. According to by standers she was totally waving her finger in HIS FACE, SHOVING HIM repeatedly before pouring the ENTIRE CONTENTS of her martini onto his FACE! You would think that since he works in the ocean (and is used to having liquids on his face (Golden Showers ... other bodily fluids) ), Myles would have been unbothered by her VICIOUS ATTACK, but it was said that he left CRYING. Poor Guy. (Lol sike i don’t give a fck).

SIX.

Q: Loganista asked “How could you possibly still be loyal to “King Jason” when all he cares about is that CUNT Alex. You know I saw them going into one of those FUCK SUITE when just 2 days ago they hated each others guts. They make me sick. Do you think it’s time to move on DP?”

A: Hey Loganista,

Ugh, same! You know, Logan Lancaster, and BernBern<3 are right there looking all sexy and things of that nature, hmm, so who knows .. perhaps I could move on one of these days. But not now. But speaking of LongDick Lancaster and the #Jalex reunion you mentioned, the #Lolex and #Jalina dates were less than eventful. The two spent the entire time thinking of the other instead of getting to know the people I set them up with. It makes me feel really bad for LDLogan because he is truly such a nice guy but everyone he gets involved with, is using him. Leah totes just uses him as a dick call, and Alex is always using him as a rebound. When she was on the date with Logan all she could talk about was Jason, Jason, Jason. I heard she told Logan that if it were “6 months ago” (when she wasn’t involved with Jason) she would totally be on all fours for him. Which is bullshit, because she totally FUCKED Logan like, two weeks ago when she was mad at Jason. So what’s the truth Alex?

Thank God Alegenda came out of this unscathed. I wouldn’t want a QUEEN like her with court jester Jason. Sadly, she won’t be able to be with Devin like I wanted, since he had sex with Phobe and … well…

FIVE.

Speaking of Jason, another Sorrentino is on the list of topics for tonight. Brooklyn Sorrentino! Ok, so for those of you who don’t know. Brooklyn was seen crying after an encounter with her ex, Grayson Fox. As I’ve said before, they were engaged to being MARRIED, but out of no where, he left her.  So. naturally I did a little more research on she and her GrayBae Fox and what I found blew my wig right the fuck off. Ok, so it is alleged that (Actual) Daddy Sorrentino (that’s Jason/Brooklyn’s dad) PAID HIM OFF because he had no plans of a complete and total LOSER like Grayson dating, and MARRYING, his daughter. So after receiving this unknown amount of money, Grayson left Brooklyn a note saying his Goodbyes. And now … all the have is memories.

OF COURSE I don’t believe this shit! I still think the bitch's pussy stinks, so he didn’t want to wake up to that every frickin’ day of his life. And besides, it’s been how many years? Wouldn’t he have just told her what’s up at this point? Instead of moving into the same town as her, and acting like NOTHING is wrong? And then proceeding to FLIRT with the LIKES OF DAKOTA SONG? Yes! The two were seen getting pretty cozy, locking fingers, playing footsies, and exchanging hair-care regimes during Summer Crush. Poor Brooklyn, first she got beat up by Phobe and THEN we find out she lost her man. What a loser.

FOUR.

Q: AshersBabyMomma asked “STOP making fun of Asher! It’s so mean!!!!!!!! Asher is really trying his best to get by and all you do is pick on him! Us #Ashies will boycott your blog if you do not stop!”

A: Well, you’re in luck because coming in at number __ is Asher himself! 

And you’re right AshersBabyMomma, Asher has surprisingly been on his best behavior recently. Either that, or you demons have managed to make him look like an angel. Honestly? I think I’m actually going to start being nice to Asher. No more calling him things like “Crackhead Asher”, Ashy Lip Asher, Ashy Asher, and more things Of That Nature. He’s really gotten his act together and I’m so proud of him, and even more apologetic for the way I’ve treated him. 

A moment of silence for the old me that used to make fun of him…

…

…Anyways, Asher is an Escort now (as I said before). He totes is fucking [redacted] in exchange for money and drugs (CRACK not included). In FACT, it is alleged that he offered his services to Alec Clarke. Again, this could all be made up, but they were spotted disappearing into a hotel together where they stayed until the sun came up. (#Romantic) Now girl MIND YOU, Alec is Adam’s roomie, and multiple sources have claimed that he is secretly in LOVE with him! Which is a LIE! If Alec IS a MLM then he has WAY better standards than a Tax Evasionista. And I’m sure Asher has better standards than Alec… well … *Hot Dog on a Stick Flashbacks*..

Nevermind.

THREE.

Q: Emrestoplip asked “Ugh but the Yavuz family are all HOT and not problematic unless ur holding out on us DP”

A: Well I must admit they ARE all hot but sadly they are just as problematic as the rest. 

Specifically that Kessa girl. Her Lifetime Original Movie of a life has completely ruined the dynamic of her family. It’s made both Emre and Leyla (her siblings) RESENT her more than they care to admit and thing are sups awkward between all of them. It’s really sad. Funny that this is the entry right after an Adam mention because coming in at number four are both Adam and Kessa. The two were paired for a date and things got Out of Control.

It really has placed Adam on my heart throb list because little did I FUCKING know that Adam knew how to THROW IT DOWN in the bedroom. The two were caught on camera BANGING THE FUCK OUT OF EACH OTHER, FOUR TIMES IN ONE WEEK. Here I thought Adam was the only sane Aldridge, but it was all a SHAM. HES THE WORST OFFENDER!!!!

NOT ONLY is he a BEAST in the SHEETS, he was spotted EATING KESSA OUT on the SIDE of a BUILDING!!! IM LITERALLY SCREAMING! and to make matters worse, Kessa then left him and got eaten out by, one, Marley Callahan. I SERIOUSLY HOPE EVERYONE GOT TESTED AFTER THIS WEEK because you guys are OUT of your MCFREAKIN MINDS.

I guess you can catch Kessa in first AND second service on Sunday now that she got the most sanctified, purified, holyfied COCK of her life. Amen!

TWO.

Q: MackenziesStolenBrushes asked “Any updates on #JaiMac?”

A: This is a great way to almost end this countdown.

For those of you who don’t know Jamie and Cunty Westwood have decided to amend their troubles and get back together. (Yes, the paintbrushes (that Jamie hid) are back in Cunty’s easel, or whateverthefuck.) This might not be the sensational drama that you were expecting to see at the end of this list but I think it’s a great closer. Jamie and Mac are a shining example of a healthy relationship, and I’ve decided they should ALMOST close out the show.

I do wonder if Jamie found out about the times Mac engaged in MULTIPLE hardcore sexual acts with the #DemonDick himself, Julian Stark. They only ended their fling like two days before #JaiMac got back together, so I’m sure they did? Omg not to gossip, BUT, ok,  I don’t know how to say this politely, but ... there was ass eating involved (on Mac’s end … obviously… I mean, look at him...), and a lot of “I love you’s” were shared between the two. Not to mention cuddling. Late night phone calls, texts, and omg I'm pretty sure they were almost a couple.

Anyways, this might have happened before the event, but to see these two going into PRIDE MONTH a happy couple really is iconic and I thank them for deciding to work things out. Love you two! Kisses!

xx

So I’m sure, you’re wondering who Number 1 is ... 

find out tommorrow.

xo, DP.

My Opinion on Anthony’s New Video.

A lot of you have been requesting that I watch Anthony’s NEW VIDEO that he posted yesterday and... I really didn’t want to. I’m so done with Anthony’s shit and his slimy tactics, but so many of you swore to me that it was good and worth a watch. Well, I watched it. Here’s my thoughts.

If you would like some context to my “sour” mood towards Anthony and his content, Please refer to THIS and THIS post before reading this one. Thank you.

Another long one, guys. Buckle up!

Same shit, different day.

the end.

Nah, I wouldn’t do that to ya’ll.

But in short, that’s exactly how this video made me feel. If you remember my reaction from his APRIL FOOL’S video this past year, you know that it was THAT video that pushed me to my breaking point and made me unsub from Anthony. Well, take that video plus his first SOLO VIDEO and you got this new video. It’s his same slimy shit with a new coat of “self awareness” paint, but I’ll get into that later. For now, I’m going to give my honest thoughts and crique to this video in particular and I’m not going to lie to you guys, it was genuinely funny at first. I was actually smiling and cracking up a bit and had SOME SORT OF HOPE that the Anthony I knew and loved was back like some of you had told me............. but then he flushed it down the shitter.

His first offence was the editing. Everytime someone would say something that cracked me up, he'd shove goofy sound effects in there and something related to the statement. Sometimes that kind of trick CAN work and enhance the comedy. Pyrocynical and Leon Lush (commentator/comedy channels I enjoy) is an example of how it’s done CORRECTLY. What Anthony's doing here works more like a laugh track in that it’s forcing a reaction from you that should be coming to you naturally. Instead of enhancing the humor, he's forcing it by distracting from the joke and not giving them enough time to land. It's just: “good joke, LAUGH! good joke, LAUGH! good joke, LAUGH...! PLEASE LAUGH!!!”

His next offense is that jokes go on TOO LONG. Timing is EVERYTHING in comedy and if the timing is off then it can lose the humor and fast. Sometimes, jokes get funnier the longer they go on. A perfect example of this is the: “how is prangent formed” video. It’s not that funny at first but gets funnier and funnier as it progresses. Anthony tries to utilize this type of humor, but if done incorrectly it RUINS the entire joke... he often does it incorrectly... especially in this particular video.

Next offense is kinda like the previous one, but I’m mentioning it anyway because it really bugged me. The video is too long. If this video would have been two minutes of them making those comments to Anthony without any intrusive editing, this video would have been PURE GOLD and I would have LOVED IT, but he drags it out WAY too long and is trying to recreate his FIRST VIDEO. IT’S LITERALlY THE SAME CONCEPT, GUYS! 

To quickly add some more offenses, he’s also using the same DISGUSTING tactics that I have CRITICIZED him for MULTIPLE times. A few include:

Using YouTube Giants like S*ane D*wson to get A SHIT TON of views and new subs only to lose said views and subs months later.

Profiting off of the S*osh fans who are still broken hearted from his departure and not seeing him and Ian TOGETHER IN A YEAR AND HALF

Manipulating people into subbing instead of earning them

and the list goes on. As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed this video at first. The comedy about him leaving S*osh and how his channel was “dead” was being handled VERY WELL. It wasn’t being said just so S*osh or Ian could be mentioned, there was actual thought put into those jokes and it’s all I ever I wanted from Anthony as a solo creator... but it was immediately ruined when I realised that it was his guests that made me laugh and not Anthony himself. It was VERY disheartening because a video that I actually liked from Anthony wasn’t actually his humor. Anthony, instead, was just doing exact same shit he’s been doing and I wasn’t laughing. Mix that with the previous offenses above and you got another Anthony crap pile. The only thing “new” he did do was the “self aware” humor which is his next offense.

Instead of using the self aware humor to address his critizers much like Pyrocynical I mentioned earlier, he’s using it as an excuse as to why his content is bad. It’s like he’s taking this and waving it in our faces saying: “LOL, MY CONTENT ISN’T BAD BECAUSE I ACKNOWLEDGED WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT MY CHANNEL!” Oh, honey... Just because you’re self aware and add in a YouTuber that got over a million views in a single day just to boost yourself doesn’t automatically make your content good. There’s a lot more to those jokes than just going: “herp durp, i realise people talk shit” and comes off as manipulative. Which is super ironic because the new thing he’s trying to do is the EXACT same shit pile as what he’s been trying to do since day one. It’s just got a new coat of paint on it to distract you. In other words... to manipulate you into thinking he’s doing something new so you'll subscribe and give him views...

Seriously...

I love Anthony half to death and I want him to succeed, but I cannot and will not support his content as long as it remains the way it is and has been.

Same shit, different fucking day.

“Nobody is That Stupid”

Men are trash. 

I say this with a relative amount of experience under my belt and knowing full well that despite this statement, I am undeterred in my quest for that D. That being said, that D still belongs in the bin.

Yesterday I had to take my motorcycle skills evaluation test. For the second time. This was after taking a two-day class during Thanksgiving weekend in which the denouement was saturated with my own frustrated tears. The first day ended with me as gray as the clouds in the sky. I panicked, shut down, and almost burst into tears. The second day took a sheer amount of willpower that I hadn’t tapped into in months for me to return. Not even the instructors expected me to return.They even said so. They are very encouraging people, I swear.

Anyway, along with all the other craziness that I was dealing with, including, but not limited to job relocation, people sucking, my fear of flying to the point of insanity, money, no D, I was obviously under a bit of stress. But while I was so used to crawling back into my misery, as it is warm and familiar, I had to try to get out of it. I had to stop. So I listened to my friends and my counselor this time and turned away from that doubt and tried to pump myself up, get confident, and ace this skills test. I played music, and I even decided to leave a bit earlier so i could be sure to get there on time, under the impression that I could just take the test and leave. 

And then...there was Bruce.

Bruce drove a Chevrolet. Bruce had a 4.9 rating on Lyft. And Bruce picked me up at around 12:47 to take me to my test. And Bruce didn’t waste any time.

He immediately offered me some lip gloss that was left by a customer. I politely declined, saying that using a stranger’s lipstick is not the most hygienic thing to be doing. He looked shocked. Then he asked if I heard about the woman who brought a lawsuit against Sephora due to her contracting herpes after trying one of their samples of lipsticks. I did, of course, and he asked for my opinion. I stated that while I do give a personal side-eye for anyone willing to put used lipstick on, it’s still completely irresponsible for Sephora to allow this sort of practice as it defies all common sense. I continue:

Me: And despite the country being very litigation-happy--

Bruce: Especially California. 

Me (with internal red alerts humming): --it seems fair that she would sue for damages and her request is reasonable. 

Bruce: So let me ask you this.

Me (internally): Please don’t.

Bruce: So I’m trying to return to working in the office, you know, I’ve been doing this for two years and I really want to go back.

Me (internally): Oh, no.

Bruce: So when I go back, I just wanted to know...you know...since there’s gonna be women there..how do I approach them? I mean, ANY one of them, at any time, could complain that they are being sexually harassed. 

Me: Uh...that’s not how it works?

Bruce: So let’s say that I get into a relationship with someone at at work, right? It’s consensual and what not, and then it ends. Then she could go to HR and complain that it’s sexual harassment. Any woman could do it.

Me: No. Any woman could not do this.

Bruce: But listen--

Me: Here we go. If you’re asking me personally if I will date someone I work with, the answer is no. I don’t shit where I eat, but with that being said, I know plenty of people who were able to have loving, stable relationships with people they met at their job. They simply have to go to HR and tell them first.

Bruce: I know, but if she goes to complain--

Me: The point of HR is that it protects both parties. If there’s any sway to one side or the other, there is usually a reason. Anything else? (don’t say this ever to a Bruce)

Bruce: (dumb silence is dumb) So what do you think of the Harvey Weinstein scandal?

Note: I figured out later on that his line of questioning is deliberate and I am almost entirely convinced that he probably purchased that lipstick on his own specifically to start this ridiculous conversation with all the women he picks up. This is seven shades of fucked up.

Me (don’t answer don’t answer you are in a trap): I believe the woman and Weinstein is a pig who deserves to go to jail for the rest of his life.

Bruce: Yeah, but NOBODY is that stupid.

Me (snared in the trap): What?

Bruce: If I were a woman, and my boss told me to come up to his hotel in order to discuss business, why would you go? You can chose the hotel bar, the hotel lobby, a restaurant. Why would you go there?

Me (begins to see red): Because men of power have fostered a culture of fear specifically to subjugate women in order to keep them down and to keep the patriarchy alive. The power involved is usually sexual in nature. Women fear that if they do not acquiesce to sexual demands, their lives will be over. 

Bruce: But NOBODY is that stupid.

Me (actively She-Hulking out): You’re actually victim-blaming? Are you actually serious right now?

I wanted to get to my class early. I wanted to actually meditate on the course and eliminate all of the fear and anxiety in my heart so I could pass. Instead, I get a sexist, ignorant Lyft driver who unfortunately has all the control in the car and I am now wanting out.

The rest of the time, I just heard more excuse after excuse. And all I could think of was hearing those same words by people who said they loved me and told me it wasn’t the same thing as they molested and tried to rape me.

And I had enough.

Me: You know what? You are part of the problem. All you’ve done is victim blame and make excuses for what is obviously disgusting behavior. I’m getting out of this car and you have a nice day, sir.

I jumped out of the car at a stop light. I didn’t know where I was at first, but thankfully, I was only five minutes away from my destination. He muttered something at me, I’m sure an insult or something, I don’t give a fuck, but he sped away and canceled the ride. I made a mental note to report his ass later, but the damage was done. Instead of coming into my test relaxed and ready to go, I’m now worked up because of the not-so-gentle reminder that men are BASURA.

I went onto the course muttering to myself again, but it wasn’t an anxious muttering. It was more just exhaustion. I just need to remind everyone here that it is almost impossible to be positive in a world so fucked up like this. I am trying...SO HARD.

A minor highlight was when I finally arrived on the course to see someone else taking it with me. And not only that, he was supportive and kind and gave me tips. Just watching people ride on the course gives me a zen that I haven’t felt in a long time. And I thought with the lessons that I took on Saturday, I had a decent chance to ace this nope.

I hit a cone. My feet hit the ground. I stalled. My gears went to neutral. Objectively, I did worse than I did the last time and I fucking failed. But at no point did I decide to give up. I sucked up all my mistakes and I decided that no matter what, I was going to stay positive and not let my anxiety and nerves get me down. I did my best and I faced it.

Finally, it was the quick stop. I practiced this and nailed the heck out of it. So when the instructor called us over to tell us how we did, I almost broke down because I saw only one card in his hand, meaning that my classmate passed but not me nope.

There were two cards. I passed.

I PASSED.

I am now officially a licensed motorcyclist in the state of California. Granted, I need a TON more practice. A literal ton. I need to be more comfortable with riding and if I’m going to able to handle the new Ninja 300 I want to buy next year, I have to give it my all. But the instructors were kind and helpful and made sure I was able to take the next steps. I mean, we are talking about not only an extremely dangerous sport that could kill me if I don’t practice, but an activity that actually takes up so much of my time and makes me so calm that I’m addicted. I have to take this seriously and show all the Bruces of the world that I can outmaneuver any bullshit they throw my way and will protect those who can’t defend themselves. Why not? NOBODY is that stupid.

Until next time, guys.

I hate you │2

Summary: Your revenge on the irritating fuckboy is taking a different turn than what you originally intended. “you didn’t get herpes from the girl you were digging a tunnel with your tongue in her mouth, did you? “You wish you were that girl” 

 member: Jeon Jungkook x reader

genre: fluff, romance, angst word count: 1736 warnings: fuckboy!Jungkook badboy!Jungkook I hate you Masterlist │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ 4 │ 5 │ 6 │ 7 │ (ongoing)

A/N: Second part of “I hate you” is here, thank you, everyone, for reading and liking my story. If you have any suggestions for what I can improve in the next part, you are more than welcome to message me.

“No, he didn’t”-said shocked Ava as she listened to your story “I swear, I was so close to killing him”-you said still getting irritated at something that had happened days ago. “Well, it’s a good thing you decided to go home instead”-Ava joked “I know, but I still couldn’t get sleep anyway, it’s so embarrassing” “Listen! I’m your best friend for a reason, okay? What’s happened is already in the past, and it’s nothing a girl sleepover can’t solve. So your place or mine?”

“Yours is better” you were living with your parents, who were always preaching about the importance of getting a good education, good grades and a good job. They were supporting you financially, not asking you to pay rent but more than the money you often needed some emotional support, which was so rare. You couldn’t wait until you got a place to yourself, saving up money while working half-time at the coffee shop. But again you were blessed to have Ava in your life for every time you messed up and she had you. She was the only person who truly understood you and your struggles, while others saw an only polished version of yourself.

“Hello, Mr. Jenkins!-you greeted your creative writing teacher. “Hi Y/N, early as always!-he knew you well already because you were so active in his classes. You’ve helped him countless times with sorting out papers to see others’ mistakes in their essays and check professor’s detailed notes on them, helping you to improve your writing “The early bird catches the worm”’-you smiled at him and went straight to sit in your usual seat in the front row. “Uhm… Mr. Jenkins, I have a favor to ask you! “Of course what is it?”-he asked, not used to your asking anything of him other than feedback for your writing. “Can a friend help you sort out the papers next time you need help?  He’s too shy to ask you, so he asked me to tell you instead.”-you said smirking, already imagining your evil plans coming into reality. “Absolutely, that’s so nice of you to help a friend and a helping hand is always welcome, who is it? “Jungkook”-you said trying your best to hide your enthusiasm “Jungkook?”-he was obviously shocked at hearing his name and before he could dismiss your suggestion you continued-”I know he seems disinterested, but that’s because he’s too shy to speak up, I’m sure if you asked him, he’d be pleasantly surprised” Of course, Jungkook was late to class and as soon as he walked in you heard a few girls started whispering about him and guys fist bumping him. He was a sophomore but still, it was unbelievable how many people knew him and respected him, seeing him as a role model for being a bad-boy. Every time professor spoke up he yawned and started drawing on a blank piece of paper. You were thankful he didn’t spare you glance. The class was over in a blink of an eye and instead of going straight to the library as you normally would, you stayed outside the classroom just close enough to see and hear how Jungkook would fall into your trap. “Jungkook stay a minute, I have something to tell you!” said the lecturer with a friendly smile.

“What’s now Jeff?”-said Jungkook as if he was talking to an old friend. Being annoying was one thing but disrespecting people was something else. Who did he think he was? “Your friend Y/N suggested you help me with these papers, are you willing to help?” “Oh, did she?”-he said turning his head towards the door where he caught you looking at the show and you immediately tried hiding, but there was no point, he already knew you had been there all this time. “Of course, she was nice enough to let you take her place for awhile” “Yes, Mr. Jenkins, I just remembered talking to her the other day. I think she wanted both of us to help you, not just me”-you heard sudden shift of his tone to more polite one. What was he up to now? “Is that so? Well, I’m glad you both are so enthusiastic about my lectures, I’ll be waiting for you around 4 tomorrow, how does that sound?” “Perfect”-hissed Jungkook. He knew what you were trying to do and also how well he made your own plans backfire. It sounded silly but in his mind, you started a new challenge, a new game he had to win so he couldn’t back out now. He exited the class and walked up to you, while you tried to act natural and think of the explanation why you’d be listening to his conversation back in the classroom.

“You could’ve just asked if you wanted some private time with me”-how dare he, you wanted to smack his arrogant face

“I don’t know what you’re talking about”

“Maybe you knew when you were talking about me to your dear Mr. Jenkins, now you’re stuck with me, see you tomorrow at 4”-he said as he brushed your shoulder and walked away

“What have I got myself into”-you thought.

“Y/N!!! Are you crazy? What did you expect?-Ava was fed up with your recent excessive stupidities.

“I know, I know, I just thought he’d find the idea of helping the lecturer so bad that he’d get into an argument and not be allowed in class for awhile or something”

“He’s not that dumb, you know, but still it’s weird, he should be just as disgusted to be with you as you are”-you knew she was right, but you didn’t want to get scolded by her.

“Of course he is, but I’m sure he has something up his sleeve.  that’s why I need you, please, please, don’t leave me alone with that monster that is if he comes at all”-you almost implored her.

“What if you didn’t have me, call me your fairy godmother from now on”-Ava could be too much sometimes

“No problem, I’m changing your contact name as soon as I hang up”-she chuckled at your witty comeback

“Wouldn’t expect less, see you in 5”

You entered the class with Ava only to see piles of papers scattered on the table but no sight of Jungkook. Mr. Jenkins left you in charge of the classroom and a shit ton of work that would take even the two of you at least two hours. You’d been sorting the essays out for half an hour when Jungkook blessed you with his presence.

“Miss Y/N was so scared of being alone with me that she brought herself a security guard”-he faked laughed and started sorting out papers from the table

“You wish”-you hissed at him but didn’t look him in the eyes, knowing he wasn’t all that far from the truth-”the faster we finish the sooner you can go to wherever the hell you want, ok?”

“Someone’s salty today, embarrassed cause I changed your plans?”-that arrogant grin was starting to appear at the corner of his lips

“Fuck you, Jungkook”

“Hey, I don’t know about you but I really want to go home, so could you please shut your mouths and do something productive?-of course Ava was the one shaking some sense into you.

“Hm, she’s the smarter one of you two, I see”-Jungkook hissed, he just wanted to start an argument, you knew better than to reply to his dumb remark, but just couldn’t let him have the last word

“Even the dumbest of us is still smarter than you, so…”

“Yes, if you call almost getting raped in a middle of a crowd smart”

“I would’ve taken care of it myself if certain someone hadn’t interrupted”

“Which reminds me, you didn’t catch a cold, did you?”

“No, you didn’t get herpes from the girl you were digging a tunnel with your tongue in her mouth, did you?

“You wish you were that girl”

“For sure, if I didn’t have standards”

“Because Namjoon is better than me? I guess you can get away with everything if everyone thinks you’re a good boy”

“Don’t you dare bring his name up”-you were feeling all the rage you had felt at the party towards the same boy. If you had a glass you would do the same thing now without any hesitation-”leave me alone and go back to your pathetic life fucking everything that moves and fuck up somebody else’s life, isn’t that what bad-boys are supposed to do?

“I’m sorry Ms. perfect, with perfect grades, perfect life, perfect family, perfect friends, us with pathetic lives don’t even deserve to look at you, do they? What? You feel upset because your so loving parents didn’t kiss you goodbye today?

Your body stiffened at his words. You knew they were not supposed to mean anything, but you couldn’t help yourself. He was wrong, but you couldn’t find enough strength within you to deny his accusations, you would always be seen as the girl who has it all, but inside you knew you would gladly switch it all for the trust and love from your parents.

Ava saw your face freeze and took it as a sign to speak up. “That’s enough! You crossed the line!”-you looked up at her, trying to hold back your tears, gently shaking your head as if trying to give her a sign to refrain from whatever she was about to say next. Only then you realized how much you hated Jungkook, despised him with all your life, more that you did before. You continued working in an awkward silence until he placed the last paper in its designated folder and left the classroom without saying a word.

“Hey, do you want to talk about it?”-Ava asked as sweet and caring as always

“Let’s just pretend today never happened”

“Okay but you definitely need to get some de-stress ice-cream with me”-you couldn’t deny it, she was the only person who could make you forget all the bad things that happened

“That I can do”-you said returning her smile

SpaceX Unsurprisingly Does Some More Cool Shit.

SpaceX successfully launches the Falcon 9, a rocket designed to be used more than once.

If Neil Armstrong’s step was considered a giant leap, then Elon Musk just took a fucking jump across the Atlantic on March 30th. His company, SpaceX, finally launched and landed a previously used rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The rocket, Falcon 9, was used a year ago to send supplies to astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). Best care package ever. After returning to orbit last year, the rocket safely landed back on Earth for reuse.

Well, kind of. Only the first section of the rocket, containing the boosters, the engine was reused but according to Musk, “This is the difference between if you had airplanes where you threw away an airplane after every flight, versus [if] you could reuse them multiple times.” Basically, Musk is saying he wants to ensure there are always enough spaceships so he doesn’t overbook and have to drag a doctor off the flight to Mars because Mars herpes will be a real threat. (No it won’t).

NASA when they heard about the Falcon 9

What Musk really means is that producing reusable spaceships will save SpaceX a fuck ton of money which will, in turn, go towards all the other expensive shit needed to populate Mars. And yes, shocking. I know. Colonizing another planet isn’t cheap, and that’s why this launch was so historic.

Yes, a reusable spaceship that specializes in satellite and delivery missions rather than transporting people does seem a little underwhelming to call “historic”. But the Falcon 9 has a very significant role in the history of mankind: taking one of the first steps towards colonizing space. By creating reusable rockets, SpaceX will be able to reuse them again and again to complete a greater amount of missions than if they launched single-use rockets. With the goal of producing reusable rockets efficiently, SpaceX hopes to see single use rockets become obsolete and rockets like the Falcon 9 as the standard. And by the looks of it, that trend will soon happen over the next couple of decades, pushing out the outdated rockets that completely lose their value after one use. In fact, kids born today will look at single-use rockets as old, stupid, and with slight pity. Much how we currently view people with Hotmail accounts.

So while last month's launch of the Falcon 9 may have barely left an impact on you today, it most certainly will leave one when your granddaughter falls in love with a Mars badass and runs away to live with him millions of miles away. But don’t worry, SpaceX sends some amazing care packages.

Yesterday’s therapy appointment left me feeling sad.  Sometimes it feels better to just try to let things go rather than endlessly rehash them.  I love my therapist and she has at times proved very useful, but sometimes I feel like I go there and waste an hour hearing myself talk. 

To me, learning I have cmv and mono (rather it is cmv mono or reactivation of eb mono) and possibly something autoimmune going on has answered many of my questions.  As nuts as I felt with the anxiety and depression (which in part was and is situational) I also know that part of it has been illness.  My anxiety started the first time I had mono... before I knew I was sick I had these insane out of the blue anxiety attacks.  I KNOW it was virus related.  There is a shit ton more research now how to eb contributes to depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune iillnesses as well as chronic inflammation than there was 10, almost 11 years ago.  The very fact that I had a week of feeling better, then a a flare up the other day which also made my depression flare 500% was interesting after I rested and regained some strength.  Science is showing us that depression can be caused by different types of inflammation in the brain and I feel like I am experiencing that on a personal level with my illness. 

Because of my horrible experience with doctors and my therapist’s own experience which has mirrored mine she keeps asking if I am going to find another neuro.  He was a dick due to the whole woman-anxiety-depression thing but to be fair he did offer a thorough neuro exam, the blood work which has pointed towards autoimmune issues and cmv/eb, and an MRI. They cannot find an absolute reason for my nerve damage I suffered in my face besides what I’ve already been told... the only thing they can do is offer modern medicine, which isn’t that great.  That’s mostly what modern medicine is about anyway, managing symptoms rather than offering cures.  I mean it bothers me that I have suffered so much and I don’t know WHY this thing happened, but I have to find a way to let it go.  Especially now that nobody can go back in time to the moment that it happened and try to find an explanation.  It’s ultimately not going to matter, much like as angry as I am to have cmv/mono... it doesn’t do a damn thing to change the fact.   I try to just remain grateful at how much the pain has improved and that I actually have pain free period now, whereas I didn’t before. I try to be happy over the fact that my neurology examine showed no issues stemming from problems in my brain and my MRI confirmed that.  I believe that one day I will be completely pain free and this all will be a distant memory. 

Hell continued issues with mono and now cmv are scarier.  The PA told me straight up “mono viruses can cause cfs and fibro” which... I’ve known but try to block out of my mind to be honest. But to hear a physician say it was amazing, because I’ve heard nothing but denial for years that these viruses leave long lasting effects behind.  I’m sure it helped she was a woman.  I’ve struggled with all kinds of problems post mono 10 years ago that I never had before I had mono.  To have someone tell you that you have active mono and cmv is devastating.  We need vaccines to these fucking herpes viruses because they are some of the nastiest ones we have left lying around and I think it is because most of the population has them and the medical field sees them as being “mild” meanwhile we have this epidemic of autoimmune and chronic pain and all these issues and doctors throwing up their hands and saying “we don’t know!”  Look at epstein barr and cmv viruses, that would be my answer (along with our love of pesticides and other ways we horribly damage our food supply and our increased stress levels but that’s another rant). 

It’s painful too to live in the reality that autoimmune diseases seem to hit women disproportionately and we know damn well that is a reason why they aren’t investigated more thoroughly.  Take lupus for an example... a disease that not hits mostly women, and the majority are black women.  Do you think that might have something to do with the fact that in almost 60 years only 1 (ONE!) new drug has been approved by the FDA for lupus.

But I have to live with the reality of eb and cmv being in my body for the rest of my life.  And it makes me realize that all the things I’ve said for years that I need to do for myself... I need to fucking do it.  I can tell you 100% that stress makes everything worse.  And my life has been a stress tornado for years.  It is absolutely no surprise my body has given up.  Hell I can respect the fact that it did.  It was whispering to me for years.  Then it raised it voice.  Then it started screaming.  Now it’s just sort of like fuck you then if you’re not going to listen.  Who can blame it? 

Society has told me my entire life that I’m not enough if I am not exhausted by the end of the day.  If I am not working my ass off until I am sick.  That there is so much pride in “omg I’m so busy”.  That resting and listening to my body is lazy.  That I must not only handle my problems, but those of everyone around me.  That I’m not allowed to be sick. That my body is a machine and I must push it to its limits.  And my ongoing struggle with illness is teaching me how wrong society is about our perceptions of physical and mental health. 

I’m finding more and more stories about people (especially women) who experienced what I’m going through, and managed to find healing by finally listening to their bodies and I find so much inspiration in that.   I feel like I’m on a new lifelong path to healing.  Maybe I’ll never be 100% again, but I do believe I’m not stuck in any type of way.

Do you find what you say confusing sometimes? Yeah, and I’m sure plenty of other people do too

This post was prompted by the guy this morning asking for advice on how to dump a girl after she told him about her HSV. That's entirely his choice, but I saw many people arguing in the comments. So I am sharing my perspective on the matter.Per post title, I have been seeing an awesome chick for the last month. Before we started hooking up and dating though we had a previous history. The point is I know her very well. So since we started seeing each other again we spend 4-5 nights per week together, many hours of unprotected sex.The other night she started a conversation with "Hey I need to tell you something..."She proceeded to tell me she picked up herpes at some point in the last year. She thinks she knows who she got it from but the guy thought he was clean and he actually thought she was the one that gave it to him. No matter. The point is we were having an enormous amount of sex before she decided to tell me. Which raises some very interesting points of consideration.1. my reactionI told her "I won't let this affect our relationship, but I will need some time to decide how I truly feel about this" which is more or less the best reaction one can expect from someone after what she did. I will come back to this.2. the disclosure issueI told her this was a pretty fucked up thing to do someone, which was risk giving them an STI without their knowledge. She got lucky by my reaction but realistically I could have justifiably exploded with rage and thrown her out of my house right then and there. I didn't, but here's the thing. If this was someone else, who was perhaps just a casual hookup for a few weeks, I may have reacted in that manner. But because I was so invested in this girl, because I knew who she was on the inside, I am willing to take this risk for her. She said she is aware it was a bad thing to do and she was intensely worried about the whole thing before telling me, she told me she feared that it would be our last night together from that point on. Now in her defense: the doctor told her that she won't pass it on unless she has an outbreak, which she has not had since her first one. I asked her about "asymptomatic shedding" which I remembered from some research into HSV, she told me was concerned about that as well, but she had two different doctors specifically tell her that she will not pass it unless she has an outbreak. Obviously I am going to believe the doctors over the internet (yes even trusted sources).3: on herpes itself.Judging by the comments in the post from earlier today, many of you are probably surprised by my relaxed reaction to being told I was risking contracting herpes. I understand your knee jerk reaction to avoiding sexual contact to people with herpes, I used to think the same. Nobody wants to see those disgusting lesions on their privates. I can imagine the shame somebody would have during their first outbreak. It makes the green ooze from gonorrhea sound far more appealing. Now, with that said. Last year I went through a herpes scare, and I learned much about it in the process. It's estimated that something like 2/3 of the human population has it. Do you think something could be that bad with that many people living normal lives with it?Herpes is like bed bugsHerpes does not bother you on a day to day basis. For most (all?) people it does not affect you body in any way whatsoever apart from the visual discomfort from the occasional outbreak, if you get another outbreak at all (many people's HSV is one outbreak and they never see it again). Contrast with chlamidya or gonorreah, it can fuck up your organs, especially women. The reason why people are bothered by herpes is from self induced psychological stress. Exact same thing with bed bugs - the bugs themselves are completely harmless and you could go quite a while without noticing them if you are one of the people that do not get bite marks. They do not even spread disease like a mosquito. Yet, bed bugs are intensely distressing for no other reason than the fact that your safe place feels violated; that insects are eating you as you sleep. This psychological discomfort exists entirely in your mind. It's not tangible. You make it up. That psychological distress is why you will proceed to call the exterminator; wash, dry and bag all your clothes; and then throw a shit ton of your stuff in the garbage; live with a toxic smell of poison in your apartment for a month; all the while worrying 24/7 that one single little motherfucking rice sized bug survived to copy itself (they are asexual) and make you restart the process.Unlike herpes, I have had bed bugs. I am dead fucking serious when I say the following: if I were forced to choose between one of the two, I would likely choose the herpes.I have a sort of micro-PTSD from bed bugs. Sometimes I find a small bug in my bed and I start to panic. Sometimes I dream of having bed bugs, and I wake up with that feeling of intense relief upon remembering it was just a dream. I would welcome and maybe even donate money to a worldwide genocide of bed bugs. I would not even wish bed bugs upon Trump.4. HSV, stigma and judgment.Many people carry it without symptoms. They could pick it up from sharing a cigarette or a kiss on the cheek from a family member. The point is this: I can guarantee that a non-trivial fraction of the people who are judgmental of those with herpes, already have it without knowing. Once my girl told me, she immediately told me of several of her friends that have it, some of them the shy/quiet/non-sexual type, one of them got it from her very first sex partner/boyfriend.My reaction to being told I risk HSV by someone I have emotionally invested in spawned an interesting internal dialogue in my mind. Once again, not disclosing right away is clearly the wrong thing to do. However, my reaction was influenced by the feelings I have developed for her. Which means that had she done the right thing and told me before our first time having sex, I would have considered cutting it off with her. But a month later, I'm not. So it begs the question: did she actually do the right thing (from my POV) by not telling me right away? No, I am not telling people do not disclose right away, though many people do that. I think the lesson here is: do not write someone off who has disclosed their HSV right away. Think about it this way: they are displaying the highest level of honesty right off the bat. That is the mark of a truly valuable partner, HSV or no. That kind of integrity is hard to come by.If you have come this far, thanks for reading. I would very much like to hear from anyone who has had a similar situation. via /r/dating_advice
