Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Megaman would be way nicer in green. His blue armour is just the right tone to hurt my eyes when I sit really close to the TV. Mom yells at me from the kitchen but srsly, I'm 18 and can do whatever I want want want.

In about one month I will be stressing over finals and the possiblitiy of going into labor any day at that point. One month and I still have no hope for having a baby shower. I've already shared my feelings about the whole ordeal, but I still can't throw one for myself. Not just because it's "asking" for money and stuff or w/e, but also because I don't have TIME with all of this homework to plan one, not to mention, no money. Can't shake the feeling like everybody has their nose in the air. "Shouldn't have gotten pregnant if you couldn't afford it." Yea, I know. That doesn't help anything though. I'm mostly worried about not having enough diapers, having to run out all of the time to get more each paycheck, and I'm really upset that I can't celebrate this baby's upcoming birth. He deserves a party like his brother got. It's not fair to him. I know that sounds silly, but for me it feels like I took one of my kids to a circus for his birthday and took my other to lame park for his. You know? No mom wants to treat her kids unfairly. I'm aware that it is no one else's responsibility and I don't blame anyone, but it's a shitty feeling thinking that nobody cares. Just want to quit thinking about it, but it's hard not to when he's so close to being here. I feel so unprepared.

After I finished Reading this I had to go back and read it in cartmans voice because of the echo on the I can do what I want

heheee, I was just scanning Linkz post until I got to the part where he doubted people would read it. Then I had to prove you wrong, Link

I do that a lot- scan posts. Especially if they are long or difficult to read. I hate to say it, but if I person doesn't use caps or line breaks, I can't even scan those sometimes. It's too difficult for my aging brain.
As for likes, I use them for a million different reasons. Sometimes, it's to show support, sometimes it's as agreement, sometimes it's more along the lines of a bookmark If I read a post, I'll generally like it to let the poster (as well as myself) know that I read it.

Suena. Just try to take comfort in knowing that the baby will be too young to care one way or another

Zera, I'm the same way. I have a very addictive personality. I admire your determination to do something about yours. I've long since given up on correcting mine.

My rant is that I woke up digging for gold and feeling like crud. My nose is horrendously dry and stuffed. My throat is sore. I had one of the worst cases of heartburn I've ever had thanks to extreme Post Nasal Drip And now I'm sleepy again because I took meds for all of my complaints and one of them makes me very drowsy.
And the snow is almost gone. My p-doc's office is still closed so now I'm starting to worry about him. And I have one baby wipe left but I really don't feel like going to the store with all the crazies out and about.
My chest hurts from gas and I fear I can no longer go to the restroom without the aid of a laxative even though I've never abused them and in fact have seldom ever taken them.
My eye hurts too, from the bruise.

I think I might just give up and go back to bed lol

Mitch Lucker from the band Suicide Silence died today, I just found out and I'm shocked. He was only 28 and that picture with his daughter makes me want to cry.









I still can't believe this

Well it isn't going to work when you let everyone know you're doing it, which you seem to do rather often on here.

Actually, I think the most important factor in deciding to read a long post is who wrote it. You get a feeling for whose post you care to read, and whose posts you'll skip if they seem boring. Also, most people will glance at the very top of the post, so the first few lines are important.
Another important factor is if the post is comfortable to read. Many things makes posts hard work to get through, such as cramping them (no space), bad language, or endless sentences. Of course, it can also be the opposite way; f.eks linkzelda uses about 80 - 90 % too many line-breaks, in my opinion.

I agree, and yeah link has so many line breaks his posts look about 3x as long as they should. But that also makes them easier to read, so idk.

(I said that in my original post before deleting so much of it, but I'm not sure how link got it. I just got really frustrated last night realizing the post was so long and people would just be annoyed at me, and came on here about to delete the bit I left, but now I regret it because I spent so long on it and it's just gone.)

-----------------

Rant: FUCK I'm so fucking tired and pissed off. I got my boyfriend to wake me up by phoning me at 12 and to keep calling every couple minutes until I actually answer / go online. I get him to do this often, but not the calling back part, and usually if I haven't gotten enough sleep yet I'll just press 'end call' and go back to sleep but this time I couldn't. I stayed up until 7 last night so I got like 5 hours of sleep.

I hate everything, every little thing that bothers me a bit escalates until it infuriates me, even typing this post, OCD and shit, keep running into little problems and getting so pissed off if i make a typo or something. I needed to wake up this early but can't stand what it's doing. Just this day of hell and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to wake up early and get a good amount of sleep.

Moving along, but yeah, when I read guides on lucid dreaming that gave long, but very thoughtful associations to understand what they're saying, I generally like them.

THEN, I see the person who asks right after that long guide saying, "Likzes cAnz jO0 give a shorter summary?" <--------(Obviously read at most a paragraph even if they had a lot of free time)

Then when the person who made a guide gives them an explanation, and then the person is like "Can you explain to me a bit more?"

Well FUCK, WHY THE FUCK can't they read the whole guide, even if it's bit by bit, to get a general idea of what it is? It's so annoying lol.

The same goes for Extended Discussion. Well, it depends, but I always see laconic responses --------->followed by "can you explain more?"------->laconic response------>"Well fuck you" (put in euphemistically)" I think this"-----> *special add-on Someone actually makes a thought-out post /special add-on*

Haha yes that was very intresting XD, I admit I also do this sometimes but usually only in the intro section. There is however times when this is acceptable and genuinely meant well, like when I first read aly's post on menthol I was just like "*derp* Gonna ask a question even though it might have already been answered" - I honestly only asked the question (Luckily not answered yet ) because I was really intrested. Now that I know way more about it I re-read the post and it's just awesome. It is however annoying when they re-ask questions just to be sure, although I still like helping people so it doesn't bother me that much.

To me it makes the posts seem disjoint, like a random scattering of thoughts. Thus it actually make sit harder to read, and makes me less likely to read it.
(Don't mean to be bashing you, link, it was just an example. I figured you probably wouldn't get upset by it)

Yeah, that's a horrible feeling. The "I need to sleep more, I need to sleep more right now damn it" feeling.

Speaking of this: Now that I'm 18 and have a job and everything, I have first world problems about this.

I wish I wasn't too intelligent now to do all the things that I thought were super awesome ideas and that I would totally do "when I was old enough" when I was little and stupid.

Ignorance can be such bliss, and you never know it until you're educated.

Ugh...
This: "Ignorance can be such bliss, and you never know it until you're educated."

and this: "The "I need to sleep more, I need to sleep more right now damn it" feeling."

I used to write great stories. But I was young and didn't care if the things I wrote were accurate or not. Now I'm obsessed with everything being "factual" even though it's science fricking fiction. So I just don't write anything

And I almost ALWAYS need "more" sleep. And because I have no life, I can and do sleep whenever I feel I must (as well as when I would rather stay awake ).

My rant is that I wish my hubby would hurry up and wake from his nap so I can go buy some more wipes and hotdogs. He asked me to wait when he got home at around 4 so I could get him some hotdogs too.
I ate a can of potato soup with ham straight from the can, but I'm hungry again...

**EDIT**
I have a new rant/rave. Hubby finally woke up. I got my wipes then went to Sheetz and got the hotdogs, a refill of Coke and a Creme Soda. I told the Cashier I might not have the money for the Creme Soda as I counted out my change. (The bill came to $5.75 and I had a $5. bill but was unsure about the rest.) A lady at the next spot tosses over $2. and asks if it's enough. I hold up my change and say it was more than enough seeing how I had the change. She shrugged and walked off. I shrugged at the cashier and pocketed the $2.
But then I felt like a creep. I should have left it with him to help cover someone else. So that's my rant.

My rave is that people are amazing during/after a big storm. Someone chipped in on one of my purchases the last time the power was out (and I felt the same way lol)
People seem like assholes BEFORE the storm because they're all worried and hurried. But during or after a storm, there seems to be more of a sense of community- a sense of gratitude and excitement.
People are strange lol

It's FRIDAY!?!??????!
No, this is not a rave, it is most definitely a rant.
I thought it was Thursday! Now I have to work tonight and I have less time than I thought to get ready for my trip. Fuck.

It's thursday in the real world.

I'm drunk as fuck. I love you all so much.

Love you too, Dianeva.

I have yet another new rant/rave.
Though I'm not currently a practicing Jehovah's Witness, I still worry about the congregation (both local and global). The "Headquarters" of the organization are located in New York and I wondered if there would be any news on their web page about how everyone is after the monster storm.

I've not been there for a while and was surprised to find a new web page. Not only that, a BETTER web page with more publications on-line and a few other technological perks.
The Watchtower and Awake are also on there, so I click on the December issue and a couple articles in particular are dear to my heart. But I'm putting off reading them because I'm not ready to return to the congregation yet. I WANT to... and yet I don't. I still have so much work to do and it seems so impossible that I'd rather continue ignoring my spiritual side.

Blah...

Oh, and there was no news about how the people and facilities are

Oh that made me smile. Nothing to rant about at the moment without sounding like a broken record, other than school is body slamming me every other day.

My health is appalling D:
Sick again, but now that I've thrown up I feel pretty good. Have to get me my own inbuilt hospital.
I hope everyone is well!

drank 6 ciders
took advil
sober now
really tired but don't feel tired

Spoiler for long rant....:

Just kidding it isn't a long rant, just filtering out people who wouldn't be willing to read one because I wouldn't want them reading this anyway.

I just feel like a terrible person, like all my human interactions have been utter failures and I'm nothing but a disappointment to anyone who would care enough to label me so.

Ugh I'm just a fucking mess, need to go to sleep, get 8 hours of sleep, wake up earlier and feel better. Feel as fucked in the head as I did a few months ago.

@D =( That sounds like a post I would have made. I'm not going to say I understand completely because we're going through different things that are making us feel similarly the same. My only advice would be "don't be so hard on yourself". Try to focus on the positive things in your life, and regroup.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo without my parents knowing. Not sure though. But if I do, they're going to be so mad at me xD.

Meh! Sucks when someone turns out to be an idiotic sexist and you already invited that person. Of course all the other people don't like him either.

Dianeva. I feel similarly most of the time. I'm not going to tell you that such feelings go away at some point in your life. But, at the age of 38, I find it gets easier to ignore the constant self-criticism. I tend to roll my eyes at my inner evil drill sergeant a LOT
And, as Auron pointed out: just try not to be so hard on yourself and look to positive things. It does help. Sleeping helps a lot too. Sleep deprivation, in my experience, ultimately leads to a huge emotional crash in the long run.

No real rants from me. I still feel a little sick (dry/stuffed up nose, slight headache), but it's tolerable. And my room feels too dull (dark) again despite having THREE lights blaring, which is annoying because it's illogical... but it's also tolerable for now.

I do, however feel sad for everyone effected by the monster storm.

So, I finally got around to getting a psychiatric evaluation. After I'd explained what brought me there for ~30 - 40 minutes, he assigned me some tests. Today he called, and said he would be referring me to a more specialized clinic, while also recommending I speak to my doctor about starting with SSRIs. I guess it's nice to know I wasn't just imagining things, but ... gah...

M Night Shamalamadingdong, you should be like the people in your movie The Happening and kill yourself.

Khh. I'm glad you finally have confirmation now. It's often a great relief in and of itself to KNOW something is truly wrong. Then you can stop doubting yourself and start healing (or at least "managing").

My rant/rave is that I may know of something that has been greatly contributing to my fatigue: Dry eyes. Yeah. Stupid. lol If my eyes are dry or irritated (like after crying), I can't stay awake. It seems to trick my brain into thinking I'm sleepy.
I've known my room is dry for some time now, but I never realized the extent until this evening.
I've been ignoring a loaf of white bread in my room. It's expiration date was October 4. My son complained he had no bread, so I grabbed it off my desk and teased him. But when I did so, I noticed the bread was still soft. And there wasn't a single spot of mold on any of the slices. Not that we would attempt to eat it lol but it was interesting none-the-less.
During the warmer months, I'm lucky if a loaf of bread makes it 10 days

I slept forever yesterday and after waking up and knocking around for a couple hours I was ready to go back to sleep. I used some eye drops (for dry eyes) instead and I was amazed by how quickly I "woke" up.
