Gotta Let It Burn

<div class="IPBDescription">irrellevant to some.</div> hey guys!

some know me some dont... just thought after like 3 weeks of no post i should let you know whats been going down.

a few weeks ago... i got asked by my adoptive parents to leave. theyre reason being... im not theyre son anymore. charmin eh

so yeah.. i had 48 hours to go. not nice.

i went to aldershot for a week to chill out and accomplished one good thing i benched 310 lbs <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

ok so yeah then on the saturday after i went to Manchester.. and i am now staying with my girlfriends dad. not ideal.. since then my gf has walked out of her house with her mother cos she is a damn psycho (the mother not her) and as of yesterday... it all clicked..

we wanted to get this credit check in for this flat we had like 5% chance of getting, so yeah we got a cab to the realtor's then we wanted to get dropped at the bus station but the cabby guy happened to live in st.helens the town we were wanting to go to. so he called in and said he was clocking off for the night.. and took us there for free. that was the first bit of luck. then after that saw shrek 2. which is so cool lol. but... we got given free popcorn and drink.. because the show was stopped for like 14 at the begginning so they gave it out to cheer the kids up.. of course me being a 18 year old 270 lb kid i wanted mine too. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->


then we went home... and no lectures from her dad. no nothing. peace. then the next day.. my friend drives 230 miles with my pc so finally i can play games again... and my music <3 took him to mcdonalds and got free mcflurries cos we had to wait like 5 whole mins... so yeah not complainin... and this takes us to today. i got my credit check back, excellent credit rating. and here is the awesome bit... this time next week ill be in my 2 bedroom FULLY refurbished i.e oven not even used bedroom not slept in flat.

so as if im not like bouncing off the walls enough... i sent off my CV to a few places which paid some nice dollar just ya know cos its worth a shot... bear in mind i have never lived away from home before so this is a big thing for me... and i got a call this morning... they wanted to see me for an interview.. so i went down. to warrington and saw them.. they liked my attitude (go figure) so yeah got home and got a call... i got a callback... and its between me and like one other guy.. who doesnt even have maths/eng gcse.... so im hopin.. this is a 25 k pa payoff.. so very good for me.

in short... my life went from beign told i have no family. and being homeless... to having a stunning flat. and possibly a DAMN good job.

sorry if this upsets some of the anal mods... but i thought people may be interested...

    I prefer to look at this as Karma. No matter what kind of hell is going on around you, stay straight/keep your cool/be respectful/pull your own weight and good things will happen.

    Just remember that wallowing in the good can lead to extra bad.

    Congrats brother and good luck <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Congrats! Way to turn things around.

    Many people would have given up and just let life happen to them if they were put in your shoes. Way to stick it out and find the silver lining!

    Nice, very nice. Good Job man- now all you need is to rise up in that job, save up, and get stuff 2x as good as your adoptive parents. Then one day, call them up, and the only thing you say is "I forgive you."

    They feel bad, you did the right thing, and am getting payed off for it. GG, GJ, and now HF!!!

    He's 18.

    Anyway, good luck Moquiao <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    you know.. now that youve got an apartment pretty much to yourself [excluding your GF or some randoms]... youre technically allowed to walk around naked.

    a walk from the computer to the kitchen.. normally it would be clothed.. NOT ANY MORE <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->:D

    What?! NO! You cant have good luck! That only means <b>I'll</b> Cop it later on! AGGHHHHH!!!

    [/lame joke]

    In all seiriousness, good going, you deserve especially after being booted out like that I honestly dont know how I'd deal with the same situation but you seem to be doing awesome regardless.

    Just a question if it's not too personal, how do they consider you not to be their son anymore? I mean, honestly, you dont boot someone out like that even if they're some wierd stranger you've been living with for the last 20 years =\

    Anyway, on a personal note I wouldnt contact your former folks. Let them come to you and pretend not to know them when they do.

    But um, yeah, nice to know things worked out for you <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Interesting story...

    How can parents just let their adoptive child down like that , is beyond me. It sounds like they threw you out after 18 years for being out of date... pretty insulting if you ask me. Good luck in life , have fun and hope to forget the offense eventually.
  • MoquiaoMoquiao Join Date: 2003-05-09 Member: 16168Members
    well whatever theyre reasons, they are THEYRE resaons.. i was over 18... and so technically theyre job as 'adoptive' parents so yeah...
