I'm bored and no one wants to see Scream 4 with me on Fridayyyyy

I guess that's a pretty pathetic vent though, considering Japan keeps getting hit by multiple Earthquakesss

fdlkjs I've had a headache since last night and nothing is getting rid of it.

Kayy.. i don't have a problem with people smoking pot on occasion when it's their choice.. what I really do have a problem with is you contsructing a double bong in our lounge and smoking in the kitchen where we have to cook dinner in an hour. That stuff smells so bad. I don't ever want to smoke pot and I don't appreciate you trying to get me high inadvertently

I am SO irritated right now! I was told I got the highest mark in my English class on a creative task we were given, having gotten 91%. Obviously, I was super happy about this. I then talk to my famously melodramatic friend who informs me she got 97% because our teacher felt sorry for her. He only felt sorry for her because she got 35% on her other English creative task, and he thought he should be an easier marker for her. It's just so infuriating. She turned on the waterworks and immediately got a higher mark. Besides, her mother helped her with a large portion of her work, whereas everything I do, I do entirely by myself. Urk.

The city primary is coming up in early May and, seeing as I turned eighteen in March and became eligible to vote, I've been wanting to cast my first vote in this election. I went online today to register and found out that, in order to be eligible for the upcoming election, registration must be completed more than a month before the election. To think that politicians wonder why the average voter turnout in national elections is about 50% of eligible voters, even less in local and state elections. Lack of registration is the number one cause as to why Americans don't vote. Why can't the system be set up in such a way that we can register when we go to the polls? I'm so cheesed off.

This this this. A girl in my English class handed in her World Lit. coursework 4 months late, because she's 'having a troubled time' (she's really not), not to mention our English teacher has helped her loads. Not only does she not do the work, we're now studying a text that only she wanted to study in class - well, her and one other girl who also doesn't do the work, and one that is dropping out of school. Gah!

Why do people say that they're terrible at English just to use that as an excuse for being lazy? I mean, it's not that hard to use even basic punctuation. Just tap the key and let me read in peace.

It's been, what? Three weeks or even four that our net connection has been out. My dad went and sent them a complaint regarding their laziness and constant excuses.
We had to borrow my uncle's modem, it's pretty nice of him but I still can't be comfortable while using it.

If the company doesn't send us a new modem, I swear they're in for a whole week of getting wedgies!

I love going to hug my best friend & finding weed in his pockets...

DOING DRUGS IS NOT COOL, BOY!

^To be perfectly honest with you, drugs are pretty much a part of teenage life. They can fuck you up, yeah, but teenagers don't seem to care, or if they do, they prefer the thrill of the drug than the thought of concerning themselves with the consequences. As well as this, if they're doing any drugs, weed is definitely the safest. Yes, inhalation of any drug is problematic, but it's better than injecting. There are few medical risks linked with marijuana and long-term health. Personally, I'm friends with a lot of people who smoke weed - I've never really cared that they do it. It'll only start to concern me when it starts to hamper their health. As long as the drugs aren't dangerous or impairing his life in any way (skiving off multiple classes to do drugs, getting into heavier stuff) I'd relax a little bit. Then again, that's just me.

^ Not just you. Same philosophy here, but I still don't do it.

My vent? Why, every time do I try and upload a sims 3 picture with tinypic or imageshack and try to post it here, I get the "reduce your image size" message?! *headdesks*

Ugh, bra shopping. Apparently my ribcage is so freakishly tiny (I take 30DD or 32D) that barely anyone carries bras that fit me. I only ended up getting one, I'm still pretty sure that with a 32" band it's gonna stretch out to be way too big, really fast.

I know I shouldn't be complaining about having a tiny waist and big boobs, but it makes shopping a nightmare.

My best friend has just turned us two having pizza for dinner into a party. The one thing she's supposed to NOT do while house sitting. Ugh. These people better not bring alcohol or I swear I will leave.

I understand that drugs are a normal part of teenage life... but my best friend is 14... he's being doing them for ages, and he's starting to get in to heavier stuff..
and now hes been vomiting up blood, and it gets worse when he smokes it.
It really frustrates me, because it is starting to take a toll on his health.
and yeah, i know plenty of people that do it, and I'm not overly concerned, but I hate the fact he's screwing up his health and life now because of it.

I hate being on my period, I always get super sensitive. Right now I'm crying over a few people being remotely unkind to me, which is something I'd normally let go.

^ Aww, I'm like that too. I recommend sitting down, watching tv with ice cream.

I'm annoyed because I want to play sims but I'm stuck on my dad's computer instead because my computer is updating via Norton. Ugh.

I slept for about 12 hours last night. Now, less than 12 hours later, I'm barely keeping my eyes open. What the hell, body? It doesn't help that the last couple of weeks have gone by so fast even though I'M NOT DOING SHIT.

EIDT: WHY WHY WHY do you fucking not even repeat what the person just said, but rather QUOTE their damn post saying, "what s/he said"?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That got me so pissed. GET A BRAIN, PEOPLE.

Headache + hayfever + dissertation = lots of self-pity and sleepless nights but very little sympathy from others.

It's my first day of holidays, so I should be rejoicing, but instead I got to wake up to stomach cramps, my period, and the worst break out I've had in almost two years. Fuck this.

Was sick yesterday, missed a day of AIMS,so I couldntplay Just Dance 2 with my class then found out they had a surprise dance

MTS keeps on giving me 503's . . . and I need to redownload everything for my new computer.

Oh hey, period. Thanks for coming back, did you enjoy your god-knows-how-many-month vacation?

I, by accident, just switched off my dad's computer. He's out and when he comes back he is gonna kill me 'cause I don't know if he had anything running on it.

^ Tell him there was a power outage? Reset all the clocks.

Or tell the truth, since it was only an accident, and give him much less work. :P

Im really annoyed of guys saying certain video games are ONLY for guys. It pisses me off

Leaving Florida Keys tomorrow night and heading back to Cali. This is the last time my bestie and I will see our other friend until hopefully sometime this Summer *sigh*

I hate being a girl.

EDIT: So, my parents have been having these people come over that are supposed to help me with my mental problems. You wanna know what one of their suggestions to "help" me was? Ignore the freak-outs. Yeah. Ignore them and don't give in to every request to stop them.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCKITY HELL. I'm so glad my parents aren't listening to them. I feel sorry for any other kids with my problem whose parents actually listened to them. And they call themselves specialists....

^ At least your parents noticed. I feel like I've been stuck in my own head on and off for ages now. Eh, I don't really mind. The specialists sound unqualified as it is.

My dissertation is so close to being finished, but now it's reached the point where all the things I have left to finish on it are the things I have purposefully been avoiding because I haven't wanted to write them. Also, nothing I write actually makes sense anymore...I think I've forgotten how to read.

You can do it Phoebe!! I handed mine in just over a week ago, never thought I'd get there. You can definitely do it.

My god, uterus, what are you doing?! It's the fourth day of my period and yet I'm still cramping horribly. I normally only cramp for the first two days and then I'm fine, but holy shit, this is so painful.

Oh gosh. I want to go to Oxford University so much (first I have to ace my GCSEs and then my A-levels!) and deep down I think I can do it. My dad has said he is gonna pay for it but only if I work hard. However, I also really want to do something in media when I'm 'older' but Oxford don't do any media related courses.

My 17 year old cousin is pregnant... I can't say that I'm surprised. I hope this is the wake up she needs.

In Cancun with my familia, I went to a club with my sister and lost my fucking drivers license. FUCK MY LIFE!

Nobody: parents, friends, or siblings, wished me happy birthday. My birthday was on the 14th. It is now April 20th.

Did everyone forget me somewhere along the way?

So I usually trim my layers when I haven't got time to go to the hairdressers, and today i was chopping away, and my fringe was clipped back, i forgot to unclip it first and took a chunk out of the middle of my fringe...
which resulted in a home fringe cut, which is terribly short, and utterly hideous.

Happy Birthday for the 14th. Sorry about everyone else though.

Happy late birthday!

Ugh, I feel really sick. I'm nauseous and headachey and my throat is so sore.

I was looking a question about Italian on yahoo answers, look what I found as an answer:

It depends upon You ..
f u r fond of learning it...it'll b easy
f u'v capability of learning languages..it is a gift..it'l b easy
f u cntct it's speakers..'l b easy
it z easier than english
regular in pronounciation...very clear very easy
when u just now the pronounciation of each letter...which is easier than english and much easier than french..
then u'l be capable reading all the things written in Itln without any mistake..yes it is so
there z a difference...they'v male & female in nouns,,but no act on verbs as in french..
usually they put adjctvs after nouns ,which may confuse u 4 a while

....What?

After being in excruciating pain for over a year from a "mystery diagnosis," I discovered myself what it probably was thanks to Google. Lo and behold, it's what I thought, and I need surgery next week. It kind of sucks when you see so many doctors for what ended up being such a common problem and I had to diagnose myself!

On a happier note, I can't tell you how happy I am that the mystery is finally solved and I'll finally be pain free after all this time. Only a week of suffering left...

I am cramping randomly. Come on, period, I thought you were dying down...

Everything I write is utter shit today.

My friend thinks that her and her boyfriend will get a two bedroom house in Perth so easily.

I'm just fine with my one bedroom apartment in Melbourne, thanks.

My boyfriend's mom finished her radiation therapy about 2 weeks ago now, only to be told today that the cancer has spread and there's nothing the doctors can do about it.

^ D'aww, I'm so sorry for you, him and her. <3

Aww, I'll keep you and your boyfriends fam in my prayers! It's been a month since my boyfriend's mother passed, I hate to see anyone have to go through that experience!!

Thank you, girlies. My boyfriend is devestated. I'm looking to everyone and everything out there who may provide a little solace and help. She doesn't deserve this in the slightest. Derek is taking her to the cancer centre on Monday to look at experimental options, I am hoping against hope that there is something that will help her beat this. There has to be. *cries* This is so hard.

Stupid vent, but not only did I miss the series premier of Doctor Who last night (at a friend's house, which I don't regret missing it for), but I'll be missing it AGAIN tonight (Easter dinner with the family)!

Minirant.

How did I go from waking up at 9 in the morning to waking up at 2 in the afternoon and going to sleep at near dawn?

i snuck out to meet my friends, and they never turnt up because they "had a change of plans" its like 11 o'clock and im outside, freezing my ass off & smoking my cigarette like a loner.
thanks guys. :/

My family did easter without me this morning. Usually they wake me up and we watch my little siblingss find eggs and go through there baskets but they did it all without me

I was talking to this guy and he was acting like he lied me and stuff and even asking me to DATE him. Then all of a sudden he has a girlfriend(he knew her for 3 days!!!) He's acting like nothing happened and even offered to help me find a boyfriend!!

Some kids threw rocks through my windows and a bunch of people in our row's windows a couple hours ago so when I came home I was all like "wtf" and then realised that they had destroyed my one-of-a-kind lamp.

I HAVE SO MUCH WORK DUE TOMORROW. URGH. MY TEACHERS ARE INSANE.

...

Maybe I should get it done, instead of going on MTS...

I don't know if I'm being led on or what. Blah.

People who bitch about apple products. Gah.

I'm really pleased with what I've been writing lately, particularly as it will be contributing to my portfolio for one of my classes, but I'm afraid my teacher is going to think I have no variety. My first piece was about eating disorders and this one is about depression, and seeing as they're both written in a very similar style, I'm worried he'll dislike my latest piece. He's so hard to please.

Naturally, now that I have the killer headache from hell, this is the exact time my brother decides to practice the most noisy, dissonant piece he can possibly find.

Our washer backed up into the sink for some reason and all my clothes were in it. D:

No clean clothes, no clean dishes. Greaaaaaaaat.

My mother is impossible.

^ I feel your pain.

Some people just need to calm their tits and just let people live. I don't understand the crude judgements people make. It's fucking ridiculous. And why do people FREAK out so much? Can't just let the river flow without interruptions? Maybe I'm just insensitive...I see myself as more positive then insensitive though. I don't think I'm insensitive really, I just look above rather then below. I care how people feel. You're sad I'll do my best to make you laugh.

But, why do people have to be so....why do they have to care so much? Can't people just....be happy? I'm happy. All the time really. Just runs in my nature I guess. Even when horrible things happen I stay strong. There's always a pot of gold at the end or around the corner, even if it's far.

I just want everyone to be happy is all.

As usual I am blamed for something I didn't do, ain't life grand?

Also, going to the dentist, I have 4 cavities...eep!

Edit: The dentist will have to wait another day, my dad is really sick so I am gonna have to suck it up a bit till he's better.

I have a killer headache and It didnt help that I went and rode a horse on very bumpy ground and almost fell off

I hit my knee on a low table so badly that the bruising has spread across the entire kneecap and I can hardly walk on it. Three hours later, I stubbed my toe on a dooframe and made it bleed. These are the times when I could just scream.

I had surgery yesterday and I feel like death.

^ Aww, get well soon!

EDIT: Minor vent compared to that, but goddamn it's windy.

i loved the colour i dyed my hair, and mum made me go to the hairdresser today to get "subtle light brown highlights" That is what I SPECIFICALLY requested of my hair-dresser.
an hour later i was walking out with my hair completley blonde and light brown, not chocolate brown with subtle light brown highlights. Argh, it sounds so stupid but i literally just started crying when i looked in the mirror at home.
Ive always had crap self esteem, and i felt a little better with the new darker hairstyle, but that and $200 have just gone down the drain.

If the hairdresser didn't provide the service that you specifically asked and paid for, you should complain to management - especially if it's upset you so much.

I have an absurd creator's block. I can't make anything, whenever I open bodyshop I end up closing it without doing anything, I really want to make something nice but everything in my head requires a new mesh, I tried meshing and I succeeded but the process is just so long and I am having a hard time memorizing it.

On a similar note, my computer chair has become quite painful to sit on and I can't find a comfortable chair to sit on. My back is giving me hell.
Oh great, a headache just started. Phewy.

My TS3 game is so fucked up since I got CC for it I feel like chucking it all D:<

well it's owned by the hairdresser who did my hair, and she also happens to be the daughter of my mum's best friend. D:

Why does a male friend who compliments me have to be trying to 'get into my pants'? I've known him and his twin sister for over 6 years and we're really good friends, he's not trying anything just because he said something nice.

Can't find harry potter dvds and cant download them and transfer them onto my PS3 cause my USB is currently in my best friend's bed room.

That awkward moment when the concierge at your hotel intentionally grabs your butt as you load your suitcase into the back of a taxi :/

Saw this girl crying at Coffee Bean, she was talking really loud on her phone so you couldn't help but hear her complaining about how she's been in California for 5 years and has yet to get a movie or tv role. You wouldn't believe how many people move to California to become famous, you can't just move out here and expect to become the next Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt. It takes hard work and dedication, especially in times like these.

Stress stress stress stress.
I've only been back at school for 2 days, and the stress is already getting to me.

^ I hear you. My exams are on the 21st and I still haven't finished any of my subjects but science and French.
I am terrified, I can't sleep and I am having brain freezes whenever I study, even though I am a straight A's student...
They should have cut more lessons from the subjects.Phewy.

I love my dad and we have become a lot closer after I moved to Melbourne... but he is still trying to control my life. I feel very awkward when deciding between what I want to do and what he wants me to do. I have my own home now, my own furniture and a job. I can make decisions for myself.

EDIT: and then my boyfriend put everything in perspective by saying "If we had always listened to your dad we would still be stuck in Geraldton" :3

So Osama Bin Laden is dead and I understand he is apart of one of the worst things that could ever happen in American history, but I REFUSE to glorify the death of anyone. I'm sorry, but it just goes against every fiber of my being.

Every Frikin status on my facebook says the samething"Osama is dead Yay!" its really annoying. Peple say its a point for the USA but when you think about it it took the US 10 almost 11 years to find him

Comments like this irritate me. It makes me wonder what others think of Australians.

^ Chaaaaaarming!

I agree on the points of the holidays - I mean, it's irrational to have such neutralisation. But on the other hand, it's disrespectful for them to say that all immigrants are bad. Cough cough, Europeans and Africans not in their native continents. I am an immigrant because I am a citizen of another country and fled yet another one for a more stable life because I had it hard emotionally and psychologically, and educationally. So why are they lumping me in with a terrorist? Why are they lumping anybody from that area or elsewhere in with a terrorist who has nothing to do with them? I haven't been in a terrorist attack like the person says they have, but I have seen the North Korean border from a long distance (that was scary because I was only four or so), I have been to war-torn countries, I have lived in politically unstable regions of the world. Does that make me even more experienced to judge? No.

Dollyrot: Opinions like those really do break my heart, what can I say? People shall see what they only wish to see.

DollyRot, the bigotry has started on my feed too. Can't upload pic as am on iPod but it basically says, "why did we send all that money to Pakistan for flood victims when they've been hiding the world's most wanted man?". I so want to point out all the things that are wrong with that statement but it won't make a difference and I don't want to start a flame war.

I just remind myself that people like this are uneducated morons and these sorts of attitudes are gradually dying out because it's not OK to be a xenophobic racist!

And they wonder why terrorists can so easily manipulate young people into thinking all Westerners/Christians/whatever are the spawn of Satan. And they act like terrorist attacks are the only time you'll nearly 'be killed and see dead bodies'? What about the people who are slaughtered by their own Western-back governments? See, if it's okay to be anti-Islamic because you were personally affected by a terrorist attack, then the Iranian people have a right to be anti-American/British, for the monstrous things that happened to them because of the Shah.

I'm pretty sure the Aboriginal people of Australia thought the same thing about the European immigrants - you come in, treat us like second-class citizens and completely disrespect our culture. It's all very hypocritical and ignorant.

And as for the whole all terrorists are Muslims thing? Hmm, tell that to the Irish and see what they think.

^ Agree x 8435786531568784325187 times.

What pisses me off about it so much is that the morons who come out with that crap seem to forget that their own country will have harboured terrorists! FFS six years ago four British men blew up part of the London underground and a bus. The IRA have been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people.

People should really remember that stuff before getting all high and mighty about the indiscretions of other countries.

The population of Pakistan is over 180 million people. Saying that they don't deserve help during a time of immense devestation because a handful of people out of the 180 million were protecting a terrorist is so unbelievable ignorant that it makes me want to form him a new brain out of my hair because I'm certain it's more intelligent.

I agree with you 100%. He orchestrated a horrible thing, but I'm not sure "ding dong the witch is dead" is ever an appropriate reaction. Maybe now that the scapegoat is dead, America can pull out of the Middle East once and for all.

I have nothing to do today, bored bored bored. I need plans!

Some of the comments I've found regarding Bin Laden's death absolutely sicken me. I have some of the worst ones here but I don't think they're overly appropriate to be posted here. The way people are reacting is just making me want to throw up.

I read an article in todays paper regarding Bin Laden's death by a man named Robert Fisk who met him a few times in the last 20 years, (originally published in 2007) and then another small column that one of the American newspapers got his response to his death. I have to agree with this guy. There are people saying that the world is a safer place now that he's dead, no way in hell can that possibly be true! It's probably more dangerous now, because there will be people who will want to avenge his death and cause more widespread damage.

This is the small column in today's paper:

A resounding triumph? Oh please, spare me.

Robert Fisk believes Osama bin Laden was largely irrelevant by the time the US finally killed him yesterday.
Fisk, the foreign correspondent for the Independent newspaper in Britain, said the "Arab Spring" revolutions that have spread across the Middle East were a rejection of al-Qaeda's extreme idealogy.
"We're now in the middle of this huge Arab revolution, where millions of Arabs are getting rid of their dictators because they want a secular, free society," Fist told TVNZ last night.
"[Al-Qaeda] does rather seem as if it's out of date now, and this Islamic extremist fringe has rather run through and gone through its life cycle."
Fisk said that irrelevance should be kept in mind when considering possible revenge attacks by terrorists. For him, the celebrations across the US last night were unwarranted.
"Had American intelligence...managed to stop 9/11, that would have been a resounding triumph. But to have 3000 dead Americans...and then over half a million Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan dead, and 10 years chasing the guy - spare me any more resounding triumphs."

I'm having a really hard time with my Dad right now, trying to keep him sober. I feel like I'm losing him. He keeps on drinking a bottle to a bottle and a half wine every time he's home from work and passes out in front of the TV or on his bed, which is disgusting, and then gets up and goes to work (how can he not be hung over? I have no clue) and totally ignores me. Barely even said a word to me since my mom left. Then on top of it for years he's been smoking up to 6 or 7 packs a day of cigarettes (never in front of me) and he refuses to see a doctor, and I'm concerned for him. This is my last option for a stable home and now it's just all falling apart.

Apparently having messy hair is reason enough for my neighbor to call the cops.

Don't ask. I don't even know.

The Conservatives got a majority in the election! Argh! Great, now that slimeball can do whatever he wants. So pissed off.

Annnnd, the election made me miss the new episode of Castle. I wouldn't care so much if the election itself wasn't so much of a disappointment.

Great conversation with my aunt:

Her: So, when are you home for the summer?
Me: Well I've got an exam in two weeks and then I'll stay a for while before I come back.
Her: And that's it forever?
Me: Apart from graduation in July.
Her: Well if you do graduate.
EXCUSE ME????
Me: Um, well I think it's a pretty certain thing...seeing as I've completed a majority of the work already...and you know, attended virtually every class for the past three years of my life and never missed a deadline...etc etc etc.
Her: Oh yeah, I mean I'm sure you will graduate. You've worked very hard.

She could not have sounded less convincing.

Wow that's insulting! Have you handed your dissertation in now, Phoebe?

Yes, last Wednesday. Not my best work ever, but I was just so pleased to get rid of it in the end that it didn't matter. I just have one more exam to go before all my work's done. Part of me cannot wait to finish that exam, but I'm also getting quite sad about it!
