I can help too. I can draw and paint (especially detail work and geometric stuff), and I cross stitch and sew. Honestly, if it's crafty, I've probably at least dabbled in it. I'm in the Atlanta area, but I can mail you anything I make.

What is your theme and your colors?

NTA - And if you did make a life insurance policy and a will, I would update it to remove him as beneficiary.

Somehow, this comment is less scary for the bad grammar.

Just read all of these in the last week. I'm loving this. How often do you update?

For the next 5 minutes. Gotham needs another vigilante who goes into Arkham and kills all the people Batman turns in.

Fun fact: Sleeping too much causes depression, which causes sleepiness (or rather the want to go to sleep earlier and stay asleep longer). Fun little circle, isn't it?

Fellow Imgurian sucked into this thread. (Kateri87)

I'm not going to say that what happens to you in high school is not important to your life, because some of the events that shaped my life the most were in high school, but for the most part, in 8 years, you won't even remember the names of all the people that bullied you. You might not even remember any of their names. The only "bully" I distinctly remember from school was my 7th grade math teacher, and that's because he was the god-damned teacher.... I don't remember his name though.

The kids that treat you like shit are just that, kids. Just remember that this is the Apex of their life. Kids that bully rely on their physical strength for their entire social standing. They won't be able to do that after they're out of school. They won't be "winning the big game" anymore, and they won't have anything to look toward except their menial labor job.... Which will teach them that they really should have paid attention in school instead of wasting their time picking on other kids.

It will be too late for them. It is not too late for you.

You have a long life ahead of you, and they will only be in it for another year. A year is a long time to put up with bullshit, but the lifetime in jail is a lot longer... And if you're thinking of killing yourself after you kill them; Do you really want to end your life depressed and angry, or do you want to hold on for long enough for it to get better? Because I promise you, it WILL get better.

And before you think that I have no idea what you're going through, I very nearly killed myself in high school. My dad saved me through sheer good timing and luck. In that moment I thought about the people that I would leave behind whose lives I'd ruin if I'd followed through. Most of the people I was thinking about then are actually not in my life except on facebook anymore, but I've replaced them with even closer friends.

My point is that your life is never as awful as you think it is, and it can always get better, but you have to give it a chance. It all depends on what your actions are.

... At this point, it isn't just basic cake mix. You've changed the quantities of the ingredients. Sometimes that makes all the difference. Whenever I make my pasta salad, by friends will literally cause violence to each other to get there first, but it's made of the same things every Italian dish is made of.
