Not Been Here For A While. Hi All + Question/Problem

Post Reply New Topic

I've not been around for a while. I've had internet issues, food poisoning and 2 family members in hospital. Thought I'd pop on and check some posts, and ask a question relating to a problem I'm having.

In November I bought a Sony Vaio laptop. It's the small thin touch screen one. It cost me £1000. Anyway, I struggled to use it because it was so small and tried to take it back to the shop and part exchange for a MacBook. They wouldn't let me so I just kept hold of it and bought myself another MacBook.

The Vaio was gathering dust. My partner asked if she could use it for a college course she is starting. So I agreed to sell it her for £400 when she gets her student loans. To cut a long story short she ended up not wanting to go to college. And today I said to her I needed to use the Sony Vaio for some self study I'm doing.

She hit the roof. I was very confused because at no point did I say she can keep it, and if she wasn't going to pay me the £400 for it then there is no way she can afford it. She said I gave it to her, and it was hers. Which is not true.

In the end she deleted her stuff off it and gave it me back and then stormed off. Am I the only one who is confused here?

It's not like I don't buy her things. I support her, buy her clothes, her phone, ipads, xbox blah blah blah. So she can't exactly call me mean or out of order for asking for £400 for a £1000 laptop.

Sorry, rant over.

She sounds like a pretty prickly one. LOL....perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned the 400 pounds. She's one of those who believes relationships are shared enterprises. Maybe she feels she's put up with your eccentricities--so you should give in with this issue. Just speculation, not my belief, really. I've experienced similar things with my partner. People just don't understand Aspieness at times!

I'm not of that school myself: what's mine is mine, what's hers is hers.

I hope all this blows over, and that you could mend fences with your partner.

It must be difficult having multiple family members in the hospital. What are they in for?

How's the music coming along, amid all this tumult?

It's really good to hear from you James.
She's wrong. End of story. Let her storm off and be a spoiled brat if she wants to. You got your laptop back that's all that matters.

My Dad was in for a biopsy. They said he had recurrent bladder Cancer. It turns out after all the stress it was an infection caused by the previous radiotherapy. It sure as heck looked like Cancer though. And my mother was in to have her gallbladder removed. Both times were stressful. I was with them every moment possible whilst they were in hospital and tried to make them comfortable and at ease. Which caused problems with family because I couldn't understand why nobody else bothered to see them in hospital, but that's just me not understand other people have their own lives I guess.

The music has sort of halted at the moment. I tend to switch back and forth between music and programming. I can't manage both at the same time so I'll spend a week or two on various programming tasks/subjects then switch back to music. Sounds mad, but honestly it's the only way I can get the best of both worlds.



She sort of came around now

Aside from that though I'm all good. I started my 40mg dose of Citalopram today so I'm waiting for the side effects to kick in. Not going to be fun over the next week.

I've sort of forgot about the whole "omg I was diagnosed with Aspergers" thing now. I've came to terms with it and it sits at the back of my mind.

Tell a lie I did work on a few bits since my last visit:

https://soundcloud.com/harryhatchet/mr- ... ixed-promo (More melodic and chilled)

The second one I made with my younger brother who is into that sort of music. Don't know what genre I'd class it under.

I'll listen to it later.

I'm glad you've been able to pursue your creative endeavors.
