I get by with a little help from my Twi-friends

Be gentle with me.  I haven't posted in so long that I feel like a blogger-virgin.  Did the last post scare some of you?  Not half as much as it scared me. What can I say?  I come from a dysfunctional family & the Matriarch of Dysfunction just dropped by for her annual visit.

Not actual picture of TwitardedMom.

Thanks to the condern of my on-line friends, I am going to get professional help. (No not the Oldest Profession).  Apparently taking Cymbalta for depression has a tendency to make you depressessed, suicidal & unmotivated for blogging.  Gotta fix that shit because I love blogging with y'all.

No friends are better than Twi-friends. 


Oh Shit! In one of my Uber Depressessed, I Don't Deserve to Have Friends episodes, I unfollowed EVERY blog I ever followed.  Now that I'm working on regaining my sanity, please help by telling me which blogs I should follow. 


Twitarded Goes To Forks is also on the top of my Oh Shit O-meter. I'll have 500 smackaroos in the bank with 300 or so going to airfair.  I don't know if it is better to fly in on Wednesday or Thursday when it comes to sharing a rental car.  I don't know how much to plan for hotel expense because the Forks Forum is kinda confusing me.  Since I've a birthday in a few weeks, the plan is to ask for $$$ towards going to Forks.  I'm still freaking out about whether I will have enough to: 1) travel from Seattle to Forks, 2) pay for a part of a shared room for several nights and 3) afford to eat & drink.

My OCD, ADD, and Other Intials are kicking in big time. (setting up appt with shrink this week)  If you have been to Forks with Twitarded, I'm begging you to throw out a ball park figure of what it cost.  Should I plan on selling my soul plasma for travel money?  Will folks be offended if I eat from a jar of peanut butter all week instead of being sociable at a restaurant? 

This is your golden oppotunity to tell me where to go what to do.  Don't pass up the chance.

  1. I went to Forks with Twitarded last year and I spent $850. I arrived on Thursday, but totally wish I would have arrived on Wednesday. I flew from Houston, my ticket was $350. I roomed with 3 other girls at the Forks Motel and we paid about $100 a person. I carpooled in a rental with 3 other girls and we paid about $80 per person. The other almost $300 was food, souvenirs, and drinks. Okay, mostly drinks. Can it be done on the cheap? For sure, drink in the hotel room. Maybe carpool with a party of 5, instead of 4. 4 to a hotel room is pretty tight, but if you are with the right girls, it can be a blast. I organized my carpool and hotel by messaging folks on the forum and by posting on the Twitarded page on Facebook. Hope this helps!

  2. I'm glad things are looking up and that you're going to FOOOOOORKS! I would suggest you talk to the girls running the forum (I think @jaymes805 is one of those girls, I'm not 100% positive tho) on how best to get in touch with people. Hell one tweet and I'm sure people will be more than willing to tell you about their trip. I mean I'm not going but these are things I would do, if I was going. But I'd probably do it with a whole lotta freaking out and "I'm in tears now" emails to Lisa.

    The best way to figure it out is to talk it out. Before I went to NYC I emailed my travel buddies at least 6-8 times a day. And that was BEFORE I bought my ticket lol.

    I bet you'll get it all figured out in no time.

    You could come follow us at TJA. I swear right now it seems we only post our EP read along but we'll get back into posting more soon... I think... I hope... I... heck I don't know anymore lol.

  3. Oh TM, I hope you can get things back on track with the new therapy you are seeking out.

    I think the Forks trip will work out great for you and you'll enjoy the chance to get away and be carefree.

  4. Oh dear. I've missed your posts. Sorry you're having a tough time. Sometimes, it just be's dat way. Don't hesitate to question the meds. You may need to try a couple different ones before you find the one that's right for you. That may take a while.

    Fooorks 2011 is going to lift you out of your funk! I just know it!

  5. This is a test. I tried three times to respond to the comments and Blogger says I don't have permission.

  6. ADayWithJake- Thanks so much for the numbers. They are very helpful.

    KC- I re-followed TJA and have followed the EP read along until EP was pulled. Actually read the entire story when the read along started and have been re-reading assigned chapters each week.

    TT- I should be busy with seeing both a psychanalyst and a psychiatrist and working. Actually the frequent crying jags seem to be helping. It feels like years of stuff is finally getting released.

    RugbyMom- Since I'm unsure about everything at this point, I'm still on the fence about Forks. Leaning toward going. I really think selling my plasma to afford to go to Forks seems kinda appropriate. However I don't think I could hide that from my husband. LOL
