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.

Phoeberg 4th May 2011 12:11 AM

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?

Dreamydre 4th May 2011 3:28 AM

I missed Glee for like the fifth time. Shit!

cupcake12winx 4th May 2011 3:26 PM

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.

Dreamydre 5th May 2011 3:37 AM

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.

el_flel 5th May 2011 2:41 PM

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.

DollyRot 5th May 2011 11:01 PM

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.

el_flel 6th May 2011 12:05 AM

^ 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.

cupcake12winx 6th May 2011 2:07 AM

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?

DigitalSympathies 6th May 2011 2:07 AM

^ 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:<

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.

thedivineone 6th May 2011 3:51 PM

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.

Dreamydre 7th May 2011 12:25 AM

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.

PharaohHound 7th May 2011 3:21 AM

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.

NightlyEMP 7th May 2011 6:33 AM

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?"

cupcake12winx 7th May 2011 7:08 AM

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

DigitalSympathies 7th May 2011 7:09 AM

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.

x-tashi-x 7th May 2011 9:33 AM

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.

Phoeberg 7th May 2011 8:50 PM

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

cupcake12winx 8th May 2011 11:22 AM

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

I can't study by day. I just can't.

NightlyEMP 8th May 2011 6:40 PM

Cupcake, I recently saw someone who was trying to convince people he wasn't "dumn."

cupcake12winx 8th May 2011 6:59 PM

^ Well, there's surely no reason that would've failed!...

EDIT: Why can't people accept that it's okay to like things aimed at children? Someone kept changing a line on Wikipedia from "aimed at children 5 through 12" to 16, even though the reference right after clearly said 12. Of course, after I yelled at them twice they left the age alone and instead added, "but is also popular among teens." Jesus, then there are all the "I'm (blank) and still watching Disney movies!" comments on Youtube.

Oi.

A guy in year 11 at my school died over the weekend, and all students were told this afternoon in period 6 classes. A group of boys in my class started laughing and said something rather rude about him. I just cannot believe the disrespect some people have. After being yelled at they admitted they had no idea who he was, they just wanted to be 'funny'. Assholes.

The guy I like is pretty particular about grammar, and I made the world's stupidest grammatical mistake when talking to him today by saying that he'd do "good" on an exam. Haha, I know it's the most minor issue ever, but I keep convincing myself that he sees me as a total idiot now. :P

thedivineone 12th May 2011 9:35 PM

I hate periods. Especially the few days before it, I get headaches, lots of pain and insomnia. Not to mention being so pissed off to unhinge a door with a kick, Aunt Flow should just go knit or something and leave us girls alone.

cupcake12winx 13th May 2011 2:25 AM

Dreamydre 13th May 2011 4:40 AM

I feel so betrayed. But crying over spilled milk isn't going to solve anything. I need to take myself out of this situation, and the only way I see of doing that, is moving back to Oregon with my dad. I'm so done with all of this drama.

x-tashi-x 13th May 2011 8:58 AM

I really, really like this guy. He makes me so happy, and he is the PERFECT guy for me, in every way.
Except one of my best friends has had feelings for him for about 2 years... :/

DigitalSympathies 13th May 2011 9:32 AM

I really like this guy who's always on his iPad every day nextdoor, out on the front steps His name is Felix and I've even talked to him and we make it a regular deal to chat it up every morning. But he's kind of a self-confessed asshole to everyone who's not me and I think it's kind of cute - but he is also an asshole about my dad's drinking habits because he lost HIS dad to alcoholism. I feel so bad but at the same time it's ticking me off and AHH. AHH. AHH. Brain. OVERLOAD.

el_flel 13th May 2011 5:58 PM

There's that feeling when you love someone so much it makes your heart ache, and then you're watching them and you know that your ways are about to part and they may end up who knows where, and the same with you. High school's over in two weeks and I'll be leaving two of the most important people to me behind.

It's even worse that one of those people was really tired and pissy tonight and couldn't give me the reassurance I needed, so that was pretty much the last straw today, and when I finally came home after 10 PM from being away all day, my mommy yelled at me for crying.

Sorry for the novel, I just needed to get this out.

DigitalSympathies 13th May 2011 10:09 PM

I met Felix's ex-girlfriend, Alyssa, and their child when she dropped Sierra off for a weekend visit. Alyssa is a total whiny bitch (she screamed at him for 10 minutes for forgetting he plugged in a kettle while she was getting stuff out of her car!), I feel so bad for Felix because he's so nice to her - for a change - and she's such a bitch to him. He's 17 and he has a daughter . . . wow. I just want to give him a hug. I heard him crying earlier and I asked what was wrong and he just said he couldn't take this anymore and went inside. Why am I growing so attached to someone I barely know?

thedivineone 13th May 2011 10:29 PM

I have the weirdest urge to kick someone in the teeth and then throw them into a volcano....
Yep, that's Aunt Flowe alright, she gives me the darnest ideas!

Really minor vent, but firefox's latest version is really bugging me. I hate things changing!

Anyone see the preview for the Grey's Anatomy season finale? If Meredith and Derek breaks up I am going to be PISSED. After 7 Seasons why the hell would they choose now to break them up ? ? ? And Weber is being an asshole, Meredith saved your wifes life and you fire her? Yet when Izzy cut Denny's wire, they wanted her to come back. And I'm even more pissed that Alex would tell on Meredith in the first place, how the hell do you just rat your friend out like that?

lethifold 14th May 2011 1:59 AM

I have to miss the Harry Potter midnight premiere because I'm going to be in Bangkok. It's a stupid vent and really, going to Thailand should rate above seeing Harry Potter, but Harry Potter is essentially my childhood, and I'm going to be missing it. I hate growing up.

NightlyEMP 14th May 2011 4:22 AM

I really have to learn how to be more confident with myself and stop being so insecure. A guy finally showed interest in me for the first time ever (and I'm not all that young, I was starting to lose all hope), and my insecurities keep getting the better of me saying "maybe it's all a big joke and he's doing it for laughs because no one could ever find you attractive."

Hohum. And here I thought I was doing so well with myself.

thedivineone 14th May 2011 9:03 AM

Every single game online now has some sort of payment, be it for things you want to buy or to actually play the game, the concept of paying for a bunch of pixels (no matter how cute) is outrageous to me.

cupcake12winx 14th May 2011 10:32 AM

^ You pay for Sims, don't you? They're pixels.

lethifold 14th May 2011 10:36 AM

^I think she means that online games used to be free and whatnot, but now every one has all these super options if you pay, and if you don't, the game is just boring and repetitive. Plus, the fees for paying for online games, in my opinion, are often ridiculously expensive. Plus, with Sims, there aren't ongoing payments (unless you buy things from the Store). You pay once for the game and then bang, you're done, rather than monthly payments and whatever.

My vent: Going to a party in an hour and I have no idea what to wear and Gemma isn't at her house yet so I can't raid her wardrobe. We've gradually merged our wardrobes into one seeing as we live five minutes away from each other and have the same style.

cupcake12winx 14th May 2011 11:31 AM

^ Even so, it costs a lot of money to produce and run online games. I don't know, maybe I'm biased because I play an MMORPG. It's only $10 a month, though.

Phoeberg 14th May 2011 11:44 AM

I have to take an unexpected journey today which involves at least two buses, three if I can't get a ride at the other end, and now the stupid bus timetable website is not letting my check the bus times. I hate having things unplanned. I'm going to pack and try again in a minute.

I never paid anything for Sims, I never bought pay items, heck I never check out paysites!

Pixcii pretty much said it all for me but to clarify what I meant was small games like the ones on Facebook, they are pretty small and in my opinion don't deserve me paying 100 bucks just to buy my character some fluffy bunny slippers.

Rabid 15th May 2011 4:51 AM

I submitted my housing preference form for college next year and am now crossing my fingers in the hope that I end up being matched with a good roommate. I know that I'm a little bit neurotic— I alphabetize my books, I need absolute silence and pitch darkness to sleep, I keep a very orderly desk— but I don't think I'm too completely crazy to live with. I've talked to people who've become best friends with their roommates and others who end up getting in screaming matches with them. I'm not a hermit, but I'm a fairly private person and I need my alone time, so the idea of living with a stranger makes me uncomfortable. Maybe I'm getting tied up in knots over nothing, but I guess I'm just nervous.

cupcake12winx 15th May 2011 4:32 PM

I didn't do anything remotely productive today. I never do. I need a life, but there's nothing for me to DO. My mental crap prevents me from going anywhere with other people, I have no friends outside of the internet, and I don't go to public school. Now I've reverted back to being nocturnal so my waking hours are even more boring. It's driving me nuts because I feel like I'm wasting my life even though there's nothing better for me to do.

Also, mornings are too fucking bright.

NightlyEMP 15th May 2011 8:36 PM

Cupcake, you sound like a mirror image of me from 15-18! No friends, I homeschooled (eventually dropped out) and my sleeping hours were like 7am to 3-4pm. It was like I was a prisoner in my own home because I lived in the middle of nowhere, no car, so I couldn't go anywhere. I ended up in a depressed slump.

Don't get discouraged! You'll get "out" eventually. I did a full 180 once I got a car and was able to get out of the house and get a job. And thanks to the job, I was able to get myself on a flexible sleep schedule. Now I'm confident saying I'm content with my life right now. Hang in there!

I agree so much with Nightly about the 180. I was constantly bullied throughout Middle School, and my parents divorce didn't make it any better. So I clammed up and became this anti-social and depressed kid. I had to go to therapy, and something my therapist told me that STUCK was that I had to be willing to make some changes instead of accepting what"IS". So in 8th Grade, despite my social anxiety I forced myself into joining clubs and socializing etc. I did whatever I could to get myself out there, and I found a love for Theater, which put me in the limelight because I had to act on stage in front of people. I'm SOO glad that I did though, it really was like a full 180 flip. You just have to be willing to change your lifestyle to one that you favor, instead of accepting that you "cant do this and can't do that"

And now you know my whole life story

DigitalSympathies 15th May 2011 11:29 PM

My mother left a message on our machine that didn't sound like anything - just garbles - so I asked my dad and he just looked at me and said "she's been drinking quite a lot, hasn't she?" and went back to his laptop. Then he gets up and goes to the fridge, cracks open a beer, and tells me "Oh, yeah. Your mother and I are getting divorced." Excuse me, but this is NOT a casual conversation topic . . . men. Honestly. I mean, I'm actually not very torn up about it- they've been living apart for a while now - but my mother has custody of my two younger siblings, plus my dad wants to adopt Reese, our ex-foster. What will happen to them? Damien already told me that they're starving half the time because she's out with her friends and Jenna is left to babysit them. Ugh. Is there a rewind button on life?

The guy I've been chatting with (over 100 texts since last night) just told me that he smokes weed "sometimes" (now "barely at all") and other "legal stuff from smoke shops" but no cigarettes. I've seen way too many negatives side effects from drugs and alcohol and that shit doesn't interest me in the least bit.

As much as it bums me out, it's a deal breaker. I'm not picky and I'm easy going otherwise, but I'm not going to be around/with someone who does it even if it's only "sometimes."

I don't know if I've posted this before, but my hair is falling out. I've lost about half my hair over the past five months and I'm really, really scared. I've cut it, swapped my shampoo and conditioner, started taking a multivitamin and it seems to have gone back to a normal rate of hair loss, but half my hair is gone. I just couldn't bear it if I went bald at 16, my thick hair was one of the few things that helped boost my confidence, and I know it shouldn't matter so much to me but it just does.

I'm so stressed out and upset for no reason. My English teacher is putting a lot of pressure on me - which I'm totally okay with - because he thinks I'm one of the most competent students he's ever taught (marks all above 90%, 10/10 on in-class debates, etc.) but it's starting to weigh down on me. I tried talking to a 'friend' about it and she immediately said "You'll be fine, I have my own problems to worry about, too." I did not need that after the terrible day I've had and if I dared to say something like that, she'd rip me to shreds, but I can only sit here and wallow in sadness because I'm so stressed and tired and I feel like I'm about to explode because people are talking about me behind my back and everything is horrid.

Prom is this Saturday and I've been planning to have a movie marathon with two friends because we don't want to go. It turns out that one friend's sister is graduating from college in the neighboring state, so she'll be unavailable, which is completely understandable. The other friend just told me today that she's thinking of going to prom after all. She always does this; she changes her mind on a selfish whim, does what she wants to do, and doesn't think of how it effects anyone else. My parents have always forced me to stick with the first invitation because ditching that person for the greener pastures of the second invitation is rude. It's like she hasn't even thought of the fact that ditching me will hurt my feelings. People are just toys to her, and I hate it.

Dear Aunt Flowe,

We've only met a few years ago, we started off fine and then the roads started to get bumpy with us in our little red van.
You were nice to me before, then each month your royal arseness began to appear more and more, and I am terribly sorry to say this but....you're annoying, repulsive and you ruin my best pants and sheets.

Hate you always,
Dina

Call me fat? Okay. Deal. Call me fat and stupid? Houston, we have a problem.

Honestly. People these days -.-

There is a credit card skimmer in my home town and I got a message today saying my debit card has been comprimised and cancelled. I have been in Melbourne two months now, So I obviously haven't spent any money there.

Packing is the worst thing ever. Especially if you can't pack quickly because your sisters pretend your suitcase is a submarine.

I've got my chemistry exam next week. AHHH! I'm sure you did better than you think.

Exams. EXAMS! They annoy me. Revise everything in a book and they decide to put in questions about things that the book doesn't even go into detail about and we haven't been taught. Blah. At least my art exam went well...

Just punched a hole in the wall. Oh, great.

Eurgh I'm in a pickle. My aunt decided to move back to my county after living in a different one for the last 15 years and we decided that she would buy a house and I would be her lodger. She can't move down until she can find a job here doing the work she does. So far this hasn't happened. She wanted to find a job here first and then get a house, but had to be employed by the same place for 6 months in order to get a mortgage, and that would mean having to live with relatives until the 6 months had passed which she didn't want to do.

When I moved in the amount of rent agreed upon was a bit higher than I was expecting but I accepted it because it was implied that it would only be temporary until she moved down. Until she does move down she has two lots of bills to pay as she rents where she is now and I was fine with paying a bit more in the interim.

That was 19 months ago and I'm still paying this higher amount. To put it into perspective: this is a 3-bed terraced house and, despite the fact that I'm a lodger, I am paying only £100 per month less than I did on my furnished, city-central, 1-bed rented flat. Yes, this property is bigger but I'm not renting this through an agency and I'm not renting it by myself.

The fact is, what I am paying is too much and it doesn't appear that this situation will be resolving itself any time soon. What my aunt does is fairly specialised so jobs don't come up often and even when they do they are competitive. I understand how hard it is when you can't find the work you want (believe me, I understand this as I'm in this position myself!) but there comes a point when she is going to have to realise that she could be looking for a long time and that if she ever wants to move down here then she is going to need to expand her horizons and start looking for other jobs. It's not her fault that she can't find work down here, but it's not mine either and I don't think it's really fair that I'm still paying this much.

The problem is that I don't know if I can really approach her about this and even if I do it will be super awkward because we're relatives and because I know the reason I pay this much is because she can't afford to pay for both places.

I haven't slept properly for over a month, I barely sleep 5 hours. I look like a zombie and I think like one too.

This May 21st doomsday thing is creeping me out. I don't believe in any of the doomsday theories, but they all freak me out a little, especially with this one set for tomorrow/today. 0_o

Doomsday the day before my maths exam, I'm saved!

Geah 21st May 2011 12:27 AM

For 'Doomsday' to work on the 21st for everyone in the world, it's going to have to be at least 11pm tonight for us in NZ....so we'll be so close to Sunday it just takes all the fun out of being doomed on Saturday!

cupcake12winx 21st May 2011 1:54 AM

I read somewhere that it was supposed to happen time zone by time zone... of course, right after I read that I realized it was past midnight in several time zones already. Then again, I read somewhere else it would happen at 6 PM on Saturday..?

Yet several people elsewhere keep saying that, in the bible, it supposedly says that no man will ever know the day of the end of the world. I've never read the bible, so one of our Christian girlies can verify that.

I'm getting too into this <_>...

lethifold 21st May 2011 2:18 AM

The Bible says that only the Lord will know when Judgement Day is upon us, but the reverend who apparently figured this out did so by using mathematical equations. He did the same back in 1984, but that was a flunk out, obviously. Either way, if you're not a good Christian, you still have five months left! All good Christians rise up to Heaven today, whilst the rest of us lowly heathens get to flop about for another five months, but the world will be filled with earthquakes and volcanoes and tsunamis.

cupcake12winx 21st May 2011 2:56 AM

I'll probably stop posting about this now after this, but this whole doomsday thing is just GETTING TO ME. I can't get it out of my head, I'm afraid to go to sleep in the case that if it's real, I would wake up to earthquakes...

It's completely irrational, but it won't go away -_-...

OMG! I agree!

So my grandma comes in and says this to her paraniod 14 year old granddaughter,"Ready for the world to end tomorrow?"

I started breaking down into hysterics, and my mom yelled at her, and starts trying to rationalize with me, but I cannot control myself when I start freaking out. My mom has brought that up with me yesterday, and my older sister freaking YELLED at her. She's (my sis) is always on my side. This whole "End of The World" thing has always freaked me out.

NightlyEMP 21st May 2011 4:06 AM

Relax, folks. If the world ends, none of us will know it happened.

lethifold 21st May 2011 4:27 AM

Apparently my grandmother had a minor stroke this morning. We only just heard about it now. It isn't big - she's not in hospital, but she's being closely monitored at her nursing home. Ugh.

Zela 21st May 2011 10:55 AM

PixCii Really sorry to hear about your grandmother. Hope she is ok!

This is gonna sound real juvenile, but all these girls at my school going on about Darren Criss, and I do love him so much, but I've been a fan from the beginning, before he was in Glee! 3/4 of them don't even know what A Very Potter Musical is! Let along know what AVPM stands for. > They have good taste, but get in the line ladies!

DollyRot 21st May 2011 11:34 AM

A man stole my phone at work today. They have his face and saw him commit the crime on the CCTV, and I had an app that locates the phone. Apparently that isn't enough for the police to give a shit though.
FML.

Rawra 21st May 2011 11:47 AM

End of the world? Yeah, right. Also, did you see the pig that flew over your house today?

I had a bunch of plans for this weekend, but with all my friends canceling back and forth I'm left with nothing certain.

NightlyEMP 22nd May 2011 1:58 AM

I'm so overworked I feel like my back is going to burst. My body is starting to scream at me to stop.

On a side note, 9-10 year old girls are probably the most irritating age group I've ever babysat.

PixCii I was just about to post about my grandparents. I've been thinking about them all day. I miss them like crazy, some days it's too hard to cope. On a more positive note, I'll keep your grand in my prayers <3

PharaohHound 22nd May 2011 1:40 PM

Pixcii, sending good thoughts your grandmother's way.

My vent: my brother and I are both sick with the same achy-all-over, burning-chest, horrible-cough cold. My brother is so annoying when he's sick, he lies around the living room all day moaning and groaning, you'd swear he was dying or something. And of course, our only TV is in the living room, so if I want to watch TV I have to listen to this. Our mom waits on him hand and foot when he's sick, she went out and got him popsicles, pulled out the sofa bed so he could be more comfortable while moaning in the living room, and always asks if he needs anything. What's her reaction when I tell her I'm getting sick? She rolls her eyes, sighs and literally says "whatever". Yeah, thanks mom.

x-tashi-x 22nd May 2011 3:51 PM

Ill pray for your grandmother pixcii!

I had a fight with one of my friends on the phone & im craving a cigarette. yay

I really dislike my best friend's boyfriend. I know it really has nothing to do with me and that it's completely her choice, and that really I have no idea how they are together when they're alone, but he is such a dick. It's her birthday today and he's come to stay, which is understandable, but I really want to ask her when he's leaving only I can't do that because a) he is always right next to her and b) I don't want her to think I'm just waiting for him to leave, even if I am. He's incredibly rude to me and all of her other friends. If we make an effort to talk to him he just won't develop a conversation, he'll only give one word answers, and he's insulting. He didn't wrap up her brithday present today, he just wrapped one of his t-shirts around it and gave it to her like that. Would it have killed him to buy a roll of wrapping paper?! Sometimes he just doesn't talk to her for weeks and she gets more and more worked up about why he's doing this and then he'll just start talking to her again without any apology or explanation. I could go on and on but I won't. I really hope he leaves soon.

I got accepted to university, but they didn't even write me an e-mail about it. I had to find out from one of my friends.

cupcake12winx 23rd May 2011 8:16 AM

My sister is so rude. Just now, at 11 o'clock at night, she decided to vacuum the upstairs hallway. My mom, trying to sleep downstairs, had a bad headache and had my dad (attempt to) yell at her. It took him two tries, and when he finally got her attention, she said, "Okay, I'm almost done." and continued vacuuming.

What the hell? It's my dad's house, my dad's vacuum, and my dad's wife, her mother, who was in pain. She had all freaking day to vacuum. I swear her light was off and she was sleeping, then she got up to vacuum the hall for no damn reason, now her light's back off. This isn't the first time she's done anything inconsiderate to my parents. She does laundry at midnight and leaves the laundry room door wide open so it disturbs my mom while she's sleeping. On an unrelated note, would it kill her to put pants on when she comes downstairs in the middle of a nap? It's only decent.

Oh, and she believes these "specialists" that told my parents to ignore my mental problems. During a particularly bad incident the other night, she kept telling my dad to ignore me. Well it's her fault if the police come back because I was infuriated to the point of screaming. I was sitting on the floor in the laundry room, pretty much acting, unwillingly, like a Sim in Aspiration failure, and she had the nerve to say that. Goddamn.

OH, and on the topic of the supposed specialists, they're behavioral specialists. They seem to think my mental issue-induced tantrums are purely behavioral, and I'm doing them voluntarily. Apparently we can't cancel their appointments, because they've come back nearly a half dozen times since they told my parents to ignore the tantrums. Thank goodness my sister is the only one who takes their advice.
