fuck, I wont get to see my mum before she goes to England to be with my grand pa when he dies (or tries to, not sure if she'll make it in time), and she is staying for at least 2 months as well. Now I'm on a train into town trying not to burst in to tears

I'm going to be the socially non-adjusted idiot here, but:

Why is not seeing your mom worth crying over? It's a great act of love that she's going so far and so quickly to see your granddad. With luck, she'll make it there in time and they'll have some time together. It's sad he's in that situation, but wish her a safe and speedy travel and be happy that she's able to go and has you waiting for her when she returns in eight weeks.

Eight weeks isn't a big deal at all.

Sorry to hear about that Centz, I hope she makes it there in time. I know it can be upsetting, but all you can do is be a source of comfort for your mother now when she needs it, even if that can only be over the phone for the time being.

@ amph
It is several years ago now, but I had to drive my mother to the hospital on short notice the night my grandmother died. while I am pretty useless in emotional situations in general, I know that just being there for my mother that night, and the next few days was a huge help for her. I know that my sister was more upset than i was, cos she lived in America at the time and couldn't get back immediately to be with my mum.

it is 4:30 AM I have a flight at 3:30 PM, and I won't be back here for 4 about 4 months.
I still need to make a financial statement for my rez student council for an entire year, pack, and submit a paper I just finished revising.

on a lighter note of things, I'm still angry at Bioware. how is it that my laptop can load up Dragon age (a gem released in 2009), but is not good enough for Mass effect? (released in 2007)

meh, that was supposed to say "game" stupid sleep-deprived brain, more caffeine for you!

I can't say if either game's a gem, having not played them beyond the first menu (DA) and a CTD on startup (ME)

I have played both, and Mass Effect is definitely the greater gem of the two!

I tend to lean on the side of ME, as well. Though I didn't like ME2 as much as ME (don't kill me, Loki!). DA was pretty good (haven't got around to DA2, yet), but it still lacked a certain 'something' to really bring on the blast-from-the-past-with-more-modern-graphics that they were going for...

Now that's stealth editing...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
