Post whatever it is that you need to get off your chest, be it a non-nonsensical rant about your jackass of a coworker or an essay on how amazing your boyfriend/girlfriend is. It can be as simple as "I hate owls" or a wall-of-text devoted to that funky smelling kid in your class. It doesn't have to be negative either, just post what ever it is that's on your mind.

People should leave you the fuck alone when you've (politely) made it abundantly clear you'd rather be by yourself for a bit.

Interesting how this turned into strictly a "cry and complain" thread, and another had to be made for a "happy" thread. Also interesting how everybody loves to bitch far more often than talk about happy or good things.

Well I found out the stripper I was "talking" to Skype is actually a male, and I knew that it would be one because no one that hot would spend time convincing a random person like me..."Come on baby, I only need one vote...please baby?"

And when you do a video call on Skype of a recorded video of you, you're obviously a guy, or maybe you're just a stingy stripper who only likes to tease with preview videos.

Anyway, can't be bothered by the slut anyway, at least she/he has more pics to show on Facebook.

I love being condescending to myself

What's funny is that when I posted that, my internet connection was restarting...thought it was going to be another report of me doing some download of "So Young, So Sexy POV 2" or something. (I swear I didn't)

I literally had a mini-heart attack. I was thinking to myself..."No I know I don't use torrents anymore, what could be the cause now?"

Lol I go on Facebook, she's still asking me to try her site.

I asked her "Don't you have a webcam scheduled for today?"

She's like "Yes."

I'm still doubting the male thing though. A guy posing as a female would quit and go on to another male....damn RACING THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD.

Told her I have to get ready for my Chemistry Final, she says "Okay bye fool."

LMFAO!!! At least this is alleviating Final Exam anxiety.

**Arra** · 12-13-2011 01:46 PM

You saw 'her' on a cam as a male, and you're doubting she's a male?

No no no...I didn't see her/him as a MALE on webcam, she/he only showed a recorded video collected from her "site" of her giving me a "show."

Basically it was a repeated video...which finally helped me assume it was a male showing me the video. But no, it wasn't a webcam of a male. Otherwise I'd be in pain right now.

EDIT:

Took my Chem Final Exam. Came back to apartment, thought my Bio exam starts at 1pm. NOPE 10:30am , it's 10:47am...adrenaline RUSHING while riding my bike...taking the exam while sweating like a PIG. Can't remember ANY OF THE TERMS on the exam (my mind is still sporadic at my stupidity)....completely did a "Eenie-meanie-miney-moe" throughout the whole exam.
When I was almost done, I thought I forgot my I.D., I was almost on the verge of crying, but NO...it somehow was in my backpack...thought that was a miracle...but now, I don't know what's going to happen next. Either I was born lucky or just lucky to be born...O.O

OH MY GOD. If I didn't check the time for the final exam sooner, I would have gotten a zero for my final!

It's been raining all day which is nice
but I've had a headache for a few days straight, it feels like deep in my head xD if that makes sense.
I've too been having a lot of mood swings, I'm happy the first hour in the morning, then totally silent and depressed the next hour, then neutral the next hour, then better, then sad again, etc.

I know the feeling. 3:

**Linkzelda** · 12-14-2011 02:38 AM

I keep condescending myself, but it helps me get better at things. (Like rarely getting overconfident)

**Zhaylin** · 12-14-2011 02:56 AM

Err... sort of YAY, Link? I'm happy to hear you remembered and didn't get a zero but I'm sorry to hear your brain spazzed.

Erii and Seroquel. Rapid Cycling and headaches suck. Feel better soon.

Deery, I think it's easier for most people to complain than to share the happinesses of their day. I don't know why but it seems like too much joy comes across as tooting your own horn and people don't want to come across as ?? smug? Then there's also the fear of jinxing yourself. If you're too happy, and brag about it, then a lot of people fear their luck will turn.

I'm upset with myself because I'm too nice. Over the years I've come to discover that I'm nice for mostly selfish reasons. It's hard to be mad with someone who's nice and smiles a lot. And though I don't hate or truly dislike anyone, I'm uncomfortable with people but because of my niceness people always engage me.
The other day I was at Walmart and a former elderly greeter was sitting on the bench near the door and registers. I said hi and she gave me a hug and told me about a stroke she had recently had and the problems she was having with her eyes as a result. I met her son who sat next to her. She's a nice lady and it makes me happy to make others happy, but at the same time I'm uncomfortable.
Today at Walmart a cashier remembered she was going to give me some clothes a month or so ago, but I never got her register again so today we made plans to meet one weekend. She gave me her number and address then asked my name

Who does that now-a-days lol I could be a serial killer for all anyone knows.

Wow, I did NOT realize this!! I never bothered to look at the OP since the thread is like 300 pages long, and from the general tone of posts inhere I assumed it was for crying and complaining. Rant usually has a negative connotation, and I assumed Rave was just thrown in maybe as an afterthought because of the term "rant and rave". I'll bet a lot of people made the same assumptions.

I did make that assumption too, that's why I had no idea what Deery's post was about lol
I was like.... why wouldn't people be complaining in here???? That's what it's for.

So.... I think I'm gonna have to sell my bike....
My little baby.... Going to some shitty noob rider who's gonna scratch her all up

I backed in to this guy's car when I was driving my car, and it just looked like I broke the light.
I know a mechanic and he said yeah it's fine to take it to him, it won't be worth going through insurance.
I was pretty relieved, was only gonna cost $80 for a new headlight.
But now apparently there was more damage inside, some shit is bent, and he wants to take it to a proper panel beater.
Even though the mechanic I know could do it, and he's car is a piece of shit anyway so it wouldn't matter if it wasn't 100% perfect.
Seriously the hunk of shit is falling apart, it was leaking coolant and the fuses keep blowing - none from me hitting it. Plus it's got damage all over it,
a lot of it just chipped paint and shit from being so old, but also heaps of dents etc.

Really can't afford what will probably be over $1000 right now.
I don't even have that much.

Gonna have to sell my bike and save up for a postie bike or something....
On the plus that shouldn't take too long coz I've already paid off some of the bike, but on the negative.... my beloved will be gone.

Stupid moron.... your car is fucking SHIT, OK!????!?!?????????RGe;jnerl
Just fucking get the light replaced and sell it, coz the repairs will cost more than the car is fucking worth you stupid fuck!

Finally played Wii Sports on my Nintendo Wii..realized I'm lvl 2390, not 2399...

Losing one point against Elisa and Sarah is enough to piss me off....those women are rascals...hitting the ball at a weird angle at 90 mph...UNFAIR.

And Good luck Tommo!

**Sassafrax** · 12-14-2011 07:14 AM

sad.

**tommo** · 12-14-2011 07:27 AM

If I could kill this guy and get away with it, I'd probably do it.
My estimate of the cost was correct....

Told him to get another quote. Everything seemed reasonable except for the paint.... which was almost half the cost of the entire fucking repair. I didn't even touch the paint. Fuck off....

My chief looks at me like an angry bulldog since this morning.
I took a coffee and went to the park nearby to light a cigarette during the break. Lol, I don't smoke at school and take care children not to see me! But bossy came somehow (don't have idea how he brought his fat ass) and started preaching to me with such a tone that made me furious in a few minutes. 'Why are you smoking here, why?'
And why didn't I remain silent and hear to his shit? Instead I told him, 'Because if it were a bookshop, I would read; but since it's a park, I can take my rest here and you're spoiling my rest.'
To add that the Lady who keeps me company when I go there, has lost her hand and it saddened me the more.
What could that hand serve for? Look!

Too easy....>.> xD

**greenhavoc** · 12-14-2011 06:22 PM

apparently by me not wanting to cut up in the same crude manner with a female as i don't mind having done with a male, makes me an *ignorant sexist
i can't even begin to comprehend the level of insecurity it must take an induvial to maintain *that train of thought, it must be exhausting

On the rave side, I had a timely windfall last month when someone paid me about $130 USD for some imaginary real estate in Second Life, about 4X the market value of the plot, and in a market where a lot of land never sells at all. I haven't been active in SL in years, but it still hands me money more often than it asks for any, so I keep an account and usually a patch of land.

And the rant: I cashed in my monopoly money to use as my Xmas gift fund, and it hit PayPal yesterday. I want to keep it clear of my bank account for reasons I won't get into, but it's been like pulling teeth to get anyone to shut up and take my money.

A couple of the sites where I would normally drop some cash, Amazon and Ten Thousand Villages, don't take PayPal. Other sites that do take it haven't properly integrated it into their checkout, resulting in error loops. When I finally found a site that listed an item I wanted at a reasonable price, could ship it in time, AND accepted PayPal, I got an email right after the transaction went through that the item was out of stock

I have managed to use the money and so far I've only bought one item out of my bank account--that one from a company with a web store that does accept PayPal and an Amazon store that does not, and they only had the item in question listed on Amazon :/ They offered to put the order together via email, but I just felt like there was too much margin for error in terms of shipping time and possibly getting the wrong version of the item.

I'll probably have to buy two or three small things at brick-and-mortar stores, too, but the unexpected money has made the holidays a lot easier, headaches notwithstanding.

This is my last test and the last day i'm going to school (YAY) and this test is supposed to be easy but means a lot to my end of (next) year marks. I can't help but not to give a fuck.
On another bright note, i can just do whatever the f' i want after 11AM. Gosh, I can't wait.
