Awww, good luck for your exam.

My vent is the fact for the next 2 months, my life is going to be taken over by work work work work work work and more work. I'm so stressed I can't even be bothered to add commas to my list of work.

Okay, apparently having a messy room is also a good reason to call the police.

THE FECK? My room is on the second floor of the house and the only window in it faces a house with no second floor. None of our neighbors in a one-house radius have been into our house, much less my room. Said neighbors, seven families, are also very nice except for two. One of those two we don't really know, the other is fairly new and we haven't really gotten along with them in our few encounters. The latter family is also the only two-story house nearby... and its bathroom windows can see into my room. My room that I haven't slept in in over half a year, and the blinds of which have only been opened in that time once - when my sister came over to clean the room two weeks ago.

FJKDLSJGKJFDFUCKITY? WHAT THE FUCK OMGKSDJKFLSDJLGDSHKSHKLG. I'm just so pissed. Yes, I have very messy hair because I gave up on caring for it a few weeks ago and haven't cut it yet. Yes, I have a messy room. THOSE ARE NOT CRIMES, DUMBASSES. A crime is SPYING INTO SOMEONE'S ROOM.

I'm so confident it's them because nobody else is high enough to see into my room. The freaking police can't tell us who called them because they're afraid we'll retaliate against them. We wouldn't, but I damn well want to know who's been peeping into my room.

Oh, and the reason they initially called is because they thought my parents were holding me captive here. If it IS who I now think it is, the only times they would have seen me is standing in my backyard. If I was being held here against my will, I would not stand in the yard, I'd hop over the short fence and go down the hill for god's sake.

I'm not overreacting, am I? I just don't think that having messy hair and room means one is being held against their will. I go outside for freak's sake, just not very often.

Yay! It felt so good to get rid of mine, I'm pretty certain I could have done better too but, like you, I just wanted it to be done.

My (related) vent: I left my very boring dead-end job to go uni in order to open up more, and better, career opportunities and increase my chances of getting a worthwhile and interesting job. Unfortunately, the world went into a recession whilst I was at uni and it is now looking very likely that when I graduate - in one month's time! - I will end up in an even more shite job than I was in before.

I know that there are millions of people in the same position, and the graduate market is always competitive, but that doesn't stop it from being depressing and making me want to cry.

The thing is, I'm actually quite looking forward to doing something easy for a couple of months this summer, because my brain is worn out, but I just know that, because of the way things are atm, that I will still be doing something easy for longer than just the summer.

I've just got an e-mail saying that the next round of a contest I was supposed to go to will be held tomorrow morning, in a different town. I wish they had told me earlier, the other guys that are supposed to come still don't know about it, plus the timing is really inconvenient because I can't afford to miss school tomorrow.

WOW. (I don't really know if this is a vent...I guess it's going to turn into one though, so here is probably most appropriate.)

I've spent all of this evening studying in my room and about twenty minutes ago I went to get a drink and food and as I noticed my father was still up watching TV. I went into the room and said, "You're up late" and he said "I have the day off work tomorrow." I replied that I didn't know that and his repsonse was....wait for it......"Oh yes, well I'm retired now."

WHAT. I almost died, and I know that sounds like the kind of exaggerated thing a teenager might say, but a) I have the mentality of a fifteen year old most of the time anyway, and b) I really did feel like I was having what I imagine a heart attack to feel like. You see, while my father and I have limited contact most of the time, there are certain things I expect him to tell me. I extend the same courtesy to him, for instance inviting him to my graduation ceremony and letting him know the date and time, so really, I thought he might have mentioned something like this. Apparently they wanted him to stay on, but he now only works two days a week part-time. Could he not have dropped that into conversation at some point?

I missed Glee for like the fifth time. Shit!

My dad bought a new graphics card for the sims desktop, installed it and its driver... the graphics didn't bug out, but he can't get to the Control Panel. This happened with the old card after we got a new driver for it. I haven't tried installing sims yet, but this is getting downright ridiculous. I played all three sims on that computer for years with no problems, or at least no problems we couldn't fix easily and in one try. Then it got its latest mysterious virus, my dad restored the system, and it magically won't work. Fricking hell, either this is $50 down the drain or we have to take it to the guy at Staples to see what he can do.

My dad called and said my little sis came home crying. Apparently she's being bullied, and he's going to go have a talk with the principal at her school. Umm... hell no. My dad better get this straightened out because that school doesn't want her 3 big sisters up there, because we will raise hell and shut shit down.

I have to laugh at all the FB status updates surrounding today's vote that have taken over my newsfeed. Most of these people's prior interest in politics has not extended beyond who to vote for on X-Factor, however as soon as it gets close to voting time suddenly they're all experts. "I've voted. Have you?" "Please say you've said NO to AV?!" Fuck off! It's just laughable. It doesn't make you look intelligent or interested in the welfare of our country; all it does is make you look like an arrogant intellectual-wannabe tosser.

Potentionally Unpopular Opinion/Trivial Vent.

I really am not liking the Born This Way era of Lady Gaga. The songs are too "poppy" for my taste I guess, and it seems like she is trying too hard. Plus her video clips are eh. Especially the latest, "Judas" which reportedly cost 10 million dollars to make (making it the most exspensive video clip to date). The money really would have been better off going to a charity IMHO.

^ I so agree. I am not a Gaga fan. She annoys me TBH and I have always thought that she tries too hard to be unique which just results in her looking daft, IMO.

I had a dream last night that a tornado went by our house. Come on brain, can I have a nice or normal dream at least once?

^ I liked her old style, and a few of her new songs (and by a few I mean one) but I really liked her older, creepier style. Now she's just getting plan commercialised and taken over by the industry - it looks not like she's trying too hard, but that the people who are behind the curtain are trying too hard to crank out the bucks. :/

My vent? We have no food. Whatsoever. I don't know where my dad is (he works for freaking Foreign Relations, where could he have gone off to? He has no friends . . . I think) and I keep on getting to and too mixed up. BLARGH. D:<

Homework and headache, what a great mix!



Definitely agree. Don't get me a wrong, I'm sort of a fan, but not a major fan. I just can't handle the blind following of her "little monsters" sometimes. She's talented, yes, but I think she forgets she's an overpaid pop star who isn't here to lead a revolution.

She really is trying too hard. You could feel that she was working for art in The Fame and The Fame Monster era but now it feels like she wants something that could cause a fight and thus making her more popular, it's the way of the media, I guess.

My vent: It's kinda hot today and I am feeling nauseated and dizzy, not to mention we didn't go out today and I am up to my forehead in lessons and studies. Blehty bleh bleh.

I'm tired and cold and I'm about to get sick, but I still have to get up early tomorrow to take my laptop to the laptop doctor because it has a huge vertical stripe on the screen that refuses to go away.

I am so tired of this shit. My boyfriend and I broke up again for like the fifth time. But this time instead of running to my best friend and crying on her shoulder, she gave me some tough love advice. Why the hell do I keep coming back to him? What is it that makes me think each time we get back together that it will be different? I am an emotional tornado, and this is not healthy.

I've just been feeling "off". Not noticeably sick, but I just haven't been feeling fantastic. And I'm losing my appetite; I forgot to eat dinner until bedtime.

I get that people like their loud bass music while driving. Okay, whatever, that's fine. But, is it really necessary to blast it at 12:30am? My house is far from the road, I had earbuds in, music plaing, and I could still hear/feel the vibrations from the road. Can you say "obnoxious?"

^ Sorta related, but someone left their huge truck running for like 15 minutes at 2 in the morning. My front door was vibrating.

My dad's still not home???

I called his 3 cell phones - no answer. I'm getting so worked up . . . I might just call my MOTHER.

My mum has been in the worst mood ever with me the past 2 days...
And i just walked into my room to find a dryed up red soda stain from my drink bottle on the floor. F.M.L.

My father's retirement is NOT going well. He set fire to the garden yesterday. Apparently now that he has all this free time he's going to start work on his next book. He's been saying this for as long as I can remember and his last book was pusblished when I was about three, so who knows if this will work out. This feels like the worst possible time for him to retire. I haven't really told anyone this but my parents are having marital problems, so you can imagine how great it is that my father is now around all the time.

On a largely unrelated note, I have been feeling really off lately. Just tired and headachy and down. I hate that it's making me irritable and I'm being short with people over the most mundane things but I can't stop myself from snapping. I don't think it's exam stress as I've never been the type of person to worry over exams.

I am CONVINCED that I have alzheimers

Tomorrow is MOTHER'S DAY and I bought gifts and my sisters are even flying down to spend time with our mom, and then I forgot and made totally different plans

I saw someone type "adua" instead of "aqua." Mixing up q and d, really? G and q are bad enough.
