They are not important. You don't listen to the disposable person. You can toss them away when their usefulness runs out. A disposable person never is a priority. Their feelings, time, money, life do not matter. You can bully and say whatever you want to a disposable person. They won't stand up to you. They know they are disposable. They just wait for the bomb to drop.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-4294649973961584602011-12-02T15:41:00.001-06:002011-12-02T15:53:10.282-06:00OftenOften I let people push me around.
Often I don't stand up for myself.
Often I say nothing at all to keep the peace.
Often I make mistakes.
Often I want to die.
I worry about my mother.
I worry about my life.
It doesn't matter what I do.
No one cares.
I don't belong.
I can't cope.
I try and fail.
It's all my fault.
Everyone says so.
I'm worthless..
Useless
Often I trust people.
Often I look for the good in people.
This life isn't working out.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-60118028871552080522011-05-30T22:46:00.000-05:002011-05-30T22:46:14.731-05:00Why I Don't Like Matt Smith<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85yo2IdIbvShiPAzVfjtv4rXH3plgu6DeVhtXmge8wqx_dmMJ1u6DVyr8QST3qFJqdZk_tYVRExvIuHIZHMdQLcTnkm4-1fz-1bVCitFcufwU79LZopQjG61SSaFtZFfRHIS5F__EVEs/s1600/matt-smith-pic-bbc-369839492.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="207" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85yo2IdIbvShiPAzVfjtv4rXH3plgu6DeVhtXmge8wqx_dmMJ1u6DVyr8QST3qFJqdZk_tYVRExvIuHIZHMdQLcTnkm4-1fz-1bVCitFcufwU79LZopQjG61SSaFtZFfRHIS5F__EVEs/s320/matt-smith-pic-bbc-369839492.jpg" /></a></div><br />
It's okay if you like Matt Smith. I really have nothing personal against him. I just don't like him as the Doctor. You can love him if you like. Everyone has their own opinion. Rock on! <br />
<br />
To me Matt Smith is gangly, bumbling, and isn't really clever. I know the Doctor is a bit eccentric but Matt's portrayal just doesn't cut it with me. <br />
<br />
Then there's Amy. Sure she's a pretty companion but how many expressions does she have? Is she really scared?? Is she really feeling anything??? Does she need a poo?? Hmmmm?? I suppose it really doesn't matter at all.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Matt Smith...He never watched Doctor Who before he was cast in the role of the Doctor. He's not as attractive as David Tennant. I hate bow ties and I'm not overly fond of Fez's. I wish he would go away. Yes, that's right..I wish he would disappear, vanish, regenerate, do whatever it takes to make him skee-daddle and take Amy with him. We can keep Rory. He's ok. He's just death prone. <br />

<br />
I suffer from severe depression. I can not hide it or fake it anymore. It is what it is. I've tried to be strong and to resist it but it's taken over. <br />
<br />
I was diagnosed with depression back in the late 90's. I took antidepressants and things seemed to get better but I did not follow through. I suppose I was ashamed. <br />
<br />
Over the years it has gotten worse. It has affected me in my work life and it was probably a factor into me losing my last 2 jobs. Now I'm unemployed and that doesn't help one bit. <br />
<br />
I have no energy. I'm constantly fatigued. I don't want to do anything. I sleep too much. I eat too much. I hate myself but I'm not suicidal. I don't want to die. Although it would probably be better off on my family if I did. <br />
<br />
I love my dog Rex more than anything. If it weren't for him I'd probably never get out of bed. <br />
<br />
I have no money, no job, no health insurance. My family will just scoff at me if I confide in them. No one believes me. I'm just marked as lazy. <br />
<br />
Something has got to change.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-87103938183660191192011-04-05T17:08:00.000-05:002011-04-05T17:08:15.120-05:00Unemployed, Hopeless, and BrokeI've been unemployed for so long now it's beginning to get ridiculous. I'm sick of not having any purpose what-so-ever. People who've been unemployed as long as I have are marked as lazy and not wanting a job. I do want a job. I want that daily mental stimulation, the challenge, drama, and all the good and bad things that come along with the workplace. <br />
<br />
Things are really getting to a low point. Depression sets in. Getting out of bed is a challenge. All the rejection takes its toil and makes you feel worthless. Starting over is so hard. Especially the older you get. Companies only want to hire people in their 20's. <br />
<br />
The one good thing is that I do have local friends in my life now. Sheila HIggins, Syd Curry, and David Low make me smile and I thank God they have come into my life. We all need friends. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpRxVXejVggcm-13pIrjl2MvH6LoBvX-mUL2hUCiis5GERmPmWgah7FmOVqKwsAVcBRcX0TrK2QaLmDmo7YAGNmS7x3c__vcc6-f1yGKgBSKOMSQLWlN9bvwv-J5i1-b2M-TV9Aw92BII/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpRxVXejVggcm-13pIrjl2MvH6LoBvX-mUL2hUCiis5GERmPmWgah7FmOVqKwsAVcBRcX0TrK2QaLmDmo7YAGNmS7x3c__vcc6-f1yGKgBSKOMSQLWlN9bvwv-J5i1-b2M-TV9Aw92BII/s320/006.JPG" /></a></div><br />

Open up a Twitter account and follow people from all over the world and you'll soon find that out. Some people tweet about their life, what they are doing, where they have been. Others tweet nonsense, hiding their true selves. Some are jokers and some are downright scary. <br /><br />At this moment I have 707 followers on Twitter and I follow 643 of them. I've come to know and care about many of them through this mental social media experiment. Some I feel I can't unfollow for fear of upsetting their fragile egos. Some are celebrities who don't follow back and don't respond unless you say something so witty they can't contain themselves. Some are sad, lonely people who threaten to kill themselves and live in a fantasy world. Tweeting as another person, entity, or fictional character. These really scare me. <br /><br />Then there are racists, bigots, and downright rude people. These people automatically get the block from me. There's a woman in London who's tweets are so vile and full of extreme hatred. In a way I feel sorry for her and in a way I don't. She feels she is absolutely right and has a right to spew hatred and I suppose she does. <br /><br />You also have the fangirls who tweet nothing except pictures and thoughts of their favorite celebrity. It's really amusing to watch them scramble over themselves tweeting to said celebrity if he or she suddenly appears in their timelines. Everyone wants to get noticed and rarely do. <br /><br />I suppose for me Twitter is company. With all these strange, warped, crazy people I find a place to be myself. No one has to see me. No one judges me. It's just a conversation to keep you going throughout the day. It's news, good and bad, and small 140 character or less glimpses into total stranger's lives. <br /><br />Some of you Twits are my friends. Others of you I hope to never meet in a dark alley. <br /><br />Tweet On!Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-72769869972817744382011-01-27T15:00:00.002-06:002011-01-27T15:07:32.687-06:00What's Wrong Now??It's been a long time since I've blogged. Mainly because I cant be bothered to put down words when there is nothing to say. Things just don't seem to be getting any better.<br /><br />I've applied for many jobs but no call backs or either my lousy credit score knocks me out of the picture. I'm not a thief! I just want a job so I can pay my bills and get my life back on track. <br /><br />On a positive note I've met many fine people in Aberdeen that I am proud to call my friends now. Which is a good thing. Sitting here constantly by myself is tiring and puts me into a deep depression. <br /><br />I'm thankful to have friends and for a mom that loves me no matter what. My mom is the greatest person ever. I can never repay her and words will never be enough to describe how much I love her and how much she means to me.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-51909462172902868392010-09-13T22:47:00.001-05:002010-09-13T22:49:26.602-05:00The Never Changing StoryDidn't get the job.

First call back I've had in awhile. Hopefully I will pass whatever tests they put me through and get a job. Lord knows I need one. This doing nothing lark is killing me! <br /><br />The lovely fabulous Syd Curry cut my hair Friday. I am grateful to him and the good people of Aberdeen who I've recently met. It's nice knowing there are good decent people around here. Perhaps if I hadn't shut myself away like a recluse for so long I would have found that out. Depression sux but I'm trying.<br /><br />Other than that I know nothing. <br /><br />As for the David Tennant part of this blog...<br /><br />David Tennant is still in New Mexico filming Fright Night. Someone spotted him at California Pizza Kitchen...#thatisallJuliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-22666663238077420332010-08-07T23:41:00.002-05:002010-08-08T00:00:08.096-05:00Verbal AbuseI try to keep things lighthearted. I joke and put on a smile when inside I'm dying. I'm so afraid. Afraid of life. Afraid of people. Afraid of taking a chance. I try to block the true reasons out but sometimes something happens that gives me a kick and I realize exactly what's going on.<br /><br />Tonight my mother phoned me. She had sneaked outside with her cell phone to call and she was very upset. My father is driving her insane. She cannot talk to me in front of him without him yelling and making crass comments. My father has always been a strict and very angry man. Nothing you do is good enough for him. For the past few years he has gotten worse. He verbally abuses my mother and he also verbally abused me my entire life. I do not live with him so I only get it when I phone them but I am so afraid of him. I worry so much for my mother. She is a kind woman and his words are slowly killing her. <br /><br />Tonight he went to bed at 7pm. He said he had given up on life. He says he is sick. He is putting the guilt on us. My mother waits on him hand and foot and its not good enough. He hates the fact that I am not pretty, rich and successful. He is ashamed of me and has let me know it. I am not welcome in their house anymore because of his prejudices. I want so much to support my mother and to be there for her but she is so scared she begs me not to. I am so scared of him I do not want to go there. <br /><br />He will not get help. Refuses to acknowledge that he is ever in the wrong and belittles and demeans us to the point of giving up. I am a scared, emotional, fucked up person because of him. I don't know how to let it go or to help my mother.<br /><br />Frank Lee has all of the characteristics below:<br /> <br /><br />Signs of verbal abuse exhibited by the abuser are:<br /><br />Actions of ignoring, ridiculing, disrespecting, and criticizing others consistently. <br />A manipulation of words. <br />Purposeful humiliation of others. <br />Accusing others falsely for the purpose of manipulating a person's decision making. <br />Manipulating people to submit to undesirable behavior. <br />Making others feel unwanted and unloved. <br />Threatening to leave the family destitute. <br />Placing the blame and cause of the abuse onto others. <br />Isolating a person from some type of support system, consisting of friends or family. <br />Harassment <br />Jekyll and Hyde behaviors, either in terms of sudden rages or behavioral changes, or where there is a very different "face" shown to the outside world vs. With victim<br /><br />Me and my mother have these:<br /><br />Verbal abuse is a pattern of behavior that can seriously interfere with a person's healthy emotional development. Regular exposure leads to significant detriment of a person's self-esteem, emotional well-being, and physical state.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-18094993584485949792010-07-28T12:46:00.002-05:002010-07-28T12:50:19.775-05:00Twitter FriendsThanks for all the support on Twitter last night/early this morning.

Have ran out of money. This morning I will be heading off to Louisiana to stay with my parents until my unemployment kicks in. Back to being yelled at and scolded. Back to being told what to do and when to do it. Bah!<br /><br />Can't say I haven't enjoyed the past few weeks. The lovely David Tennant has been everywhere. Absolute Radio was fun. Then the Waters of Mars which was sad and strange. Children in Need preview of the End of Time last night. <br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h8Jw0raxy_s&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h8Jw0raxy_s&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Hopefully I will be able to check in from my new prison.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-28434108549069673332009-11-02T22:35:00.001-06:002009-11-02T22:38:09.255-06:00Welcome to America David Tennant'Doctor Who' star lands 'Rex' pilot<br />David Tennant will play a top Chicago litigator<br /><br />By Nellie Andreeva<br /><br />Nov 2, 2009, 11:00 PM ET<br />hr/photos/stylus/112514-tennant_david_341x182.jpg<br /><br />David Tennant (Getty)<br />No longer will American TV audiences be asking doctor who?<br /><br />Popular British actor David Tennant, best known for playing the title role in the BBC's long-running sci-fi series "Doctor Who," is set to make his American television debut as the title character in NBC's hourlong pilot "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer."<br /><br />Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, "Rex" centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.<br /><br />David Semel, who directed the pilots for "Heroes" and "Life," has come on board to helm the comedic legal drama from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.<br /><br />He will also executive produce with veteran Barry Schindel (who is attached as showrunner), Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein. Leeds and Lampson serve as supervising producers.<br /><br />NBC greenlighted the project in August, about two years after it was first developed, and had been trying to find a lead actor for several months until Tennant came along and nailed the part.<br /><br />Tennant, a theater and TV actor, rose to fame playing the mysterious alien time-traveler at the center of "Doctor Who" for the past five years. His performance as the Doctor has been often rated as the top in the franchise's 46-year history.<br /><br />Tennant's casting is reminiscent of the tapping of another established British TV actor with virtually no American TV experience, Hugh Laurie, as the lead on Fox's medical drama "House."<br /><br />Tennant, who co-starred in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," recently signed with UTA. He's also repped by U.K.'s Independent Talent Group.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-75457667193636762122009-10-31T10:36:00.002-05:002009-10-31T10:40:47.572-05:00RIP Whiskey the Cat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq7_KWnNFSKg4V9hv_ZX0odKlmsPbl8KZ1M6FDOlab9FBHfc5pq61JZyGLREvElyV5akClNXEY50bxXnsKHrjVkaiMkY0kyO1bD0fpcYApBXAIYV1TWCAU2OJ8ASoeOiOBaL3msNeRSYA/s1600-h/whiskeyrip.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq7_KWnNFSKg4V9hv_ZX0odKlmsPbl8KZ1M6FDOlab9FBHfc5pq61JZyGLREvElyV5akClNXEY50bxXnsKHrjVkaiMkY0kyO1bD0fpcYApBXAIYV1TWCAU2OJ8ASoeOiOBaL3msNeRSYA/s320/whiskeyrip.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398789492080607570" /></a><br />3 years ago today I lost my Whiskey.

I accidently set my alarm and was awoken at the god awful time of 4.45am to the annoying blast of sound that comes from my sony alarm clock. Life will take some adjusting to now that I am a woman of leisure and not by choice. <br /><br />As much as I hated the job I did truly like the people but people let you down. Especially when it comes to their jobs. I know I did nothing wrong. I know I tried. I will try to move on. <br /><br />It's very easy to fall into a trap of feeling sorry for yourself and believe me I've done it several times. I do not know why bad things always happen to me. I do not know why no one ever feels I'm worth the fight. I suppose I'm just disposable. <br /><br />I do not have it in me to be corrupt or to step on other people for my own gain. I try to roll with the punches. Keep my head down and carry on. Look where its got me..but I wouldn't want to be such a person. I wont be that sort of person.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-21924915795771564732009-10-30T18:58:00.000-05:002009-10-30T19:22:07.132-05:00It's Happened Again..How crazy is this?..Yesterday I received a memo saying I got a 15 cent raise. All was successful on my 6 month review...Then today after lunch I get the sack. I'm told that I received too many scripting alerts in a short span of time. What an utter crock of s^^t. The first scripting alert I knew of was brought to my attention last Saturday during a weekly coaching. It was more or less stated that I skipped one step and wasn't a big deal. Basically a slap on the wrist. The other 3 god only knows where they came from. No warning. No discussion about the problem. Just pack and leave. <br /><br />I really thought more of my boss. I know they are all sh^ting themselves up there. Everyone is afraid of losing their jobs but not to back your employee up and say..Hey, We haven't discussed this in detail...to the powers that be.. is totally unacceptable.<br /><br />Just a word for people out there. When you phone in for help with electronics..be it a service call or a replacement. That claim counts against the agent you are speaking with and leads to termination. Please take the time to try to fix the problem over the phone and don't give that agent a hard time.<br /><br />I can honestly say I did the best job I could. I tried to be fair and to treat people with respect and do what was right. It got me nowhere.<br /><br />Now, I have no idea what I will do. Jobs are far and few between here. I haven't the courage to tell my mother. This will break her heart. I'm at a loss.<br /><br />I am so thankful for my wonderful twitter friends. They have all been so supportive. <br /><br />The world is a cruel cruel place and I've got a feeling its about to become a terrible place for me.<br /><br />Keep me in your thoughts<br />xxJuliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-13527266821928223862009-10-29T19:03:00.000-05:002009-10-29T19:11:08.725-05:00Rain, Work and .....<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4aoZAuYZjgY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4aoZAuYZjgY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />Today I received a memo saying that I've gotten a 15 cent raise. Exciting huh? Every little bit helps. I only worked half a day. Wasn't in the mood for it anyway. Made an old lady cry because she refused to do anything to get her tv working yet became irate when I told her a tech couldn't come out until tomorrow. People are crazy! <br /><br />Came home and watched Sarah Jane Adventures. David Tennant is in this weeks episodes. Hoorah! Then I had a nap. Now I've got a headache and I'm feeling a bit bummed. Just hope I can get back to sleep in a little bit. <br /><br />My life is so shit. Soon I will just make up stuff. Maybe that will be more exciting. <br /><br />xxJuliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4233706873940587171.post-5457252798816148302009-10-28T12:31:00.000-05:002009-10-28T12:35:35.309-05:00Another DayIt's Wednesday which is tentatively my Sunday. I am so not ready to go back to work in the morning but I must. Money must be made and spent and life must carry on. <br /><br />I've upgraded my desktop pc to Windows 7. Faster than Vista so that's an improvement but other than that I'm not impressed. I've eaten chocolate. I've slept. I've twittered. <br /><br />I'm rubbish at blogging but I rock!!<br /><br />That is all.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658024620764578822noreply@blogger.com0
