Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Picked up one of them "illness" things that people get around this time of year, called a "cold." It's pretty unfortunate.
Not a big deal I suppose, but going to sleep tonight is going to be uncomfortable.

I feel like screaming. I'm tired, and bored and restless and annoyed and lonely and everything else. I also really want a fucking shot of whiskey, but cause I just had a procedure this morning, I can't. AHHHHH. Also I have no anti-biotics for my toe which is still infected. And he keeps telling me to use Iodine to put on my toe, and its like... Ah I dunno. I just... wanna scream.

OldSparta. Feel better soon.

*hands Clyde some tissues and soup* *cranks up the AC for Sassafrax*

I need to go grocery shopping and get up to the Farm tonight. My boys have been out of food since yesterday, I'm sure. I also broke down and bought them a new PS3 controller and a new radio/alarm clock which they'll be VERY happy to receive. But in getting those things (plus a new cellphone) I now only have $20. to buy food. Hubby gets home Saturday/Sunday at around 2AM though- so the cruel person in me wants to make the boys wait until then so I don't have to make 2 trips. They wouldn't starve. They have several dozens of eggs and LOTS of peanut butter- but they've likely been eating that since Wednesday. If I wait for hubby and do proper shopping, they'll likely kill me as soon as I step out of the car

The only good thing about my daughter getting taken is that my boys can come home and I wont have to put up with all this crap anymore.

I also found my old cellphone *grrrrr*. It was in the crease of a pocket in a jacket I searched SEVERAL times. BUT, at least now my boys will have way to contact me after hubby gets home and I can buy minutes for my old one. They'll have to walk about 5-10 minutes up the hill before they'll get a signal though- so at least the minutes should last a good while.

I really don't frickin want to go anywhere tonight, but I guess I will...

Eh I will. Once I'm able to drink again. probably not the healthiest way to deal with things, but to hell with it, it works.

All hail Zhaylin, the undisputed queen of R&R,C&C!!

I swear, you are like the mother hen of this thread - you completely OWN it! Everyone else who posts here is like your surrogate children for you to comfort and kiss their ouchies.

hehee. I accept that crown with pride

I do seem to love to hear myself bitch and moan, so this is the only place which truly feels like my domain. Being such, I must try to comfort all my subjects when I can

And you shall be First Knight

Okay... one more rant and then I REALLY must leave for the Farm:
How is it that I can be a size 14 one day and a 10 the next? How is it possible to be THAT bloated? These pants were tight on me yesterday and now they're falling off. I always have this problem.

Well, for one thing, when you first put something on it's fairly tight anyway - washing and drying shrinks things a little, but when you wear them they stretch out again - so on the 2nd day things are a lot looser.

But I'm sure I'm not breaking any news to you there!

(And trying to help you feel better... it helps to smooch up a bit to the wifey! )

I like that answer

And now I shall go to sleep for awhile. I'm not particularly suicidal and it's sleeting fairly hard outside. The Farm is usually at least 10 degrees colder. I'll head up there once the sun has been out awhile.

And now that my hubby will be home in about 12 hours, it would be stupid to go to the Farm on $20. My kids all inherited my ability to hibernate at will so they wont be suffering much.

It's still sleeting but it's no longer sticking. Hubby's not going to want me to go to the Farm at 2AM, but I no longer have a choice. I'll lie through my teeth and tell the boys my car battery died. And with me presenting them with a bunch of good food PLUS the controller and radio- I might just save myself from a proper lashing.

I slept fairly well, though I woke with a "broken" back. I went straight into the tub upon waking and as I was under the water rinsing my hair, my daughters friend walked in on me I opened my eyes just as she was getting through the laundry hanging to dry. All I said was "eek" and she rushed out declaring "I didn't see anything!" Then I burst out laughing.

My dog's driving me crazy by scratching her back to death. "Hot Spot" spray and antihistamines aren't helping her. She's given herself a bald spot and a sore so I now nag her into stopping whenever I catch her. I need to tweak her diet and stop feeding her my left over fast food and see if that helps any.

4 hours of sleep = not enough.

I know this is the rant thread, but I'm happy you didn't disappear on us.

*groans at Tommo*
You want a bucket for all that "corn" you're chucking

So far, it has been a quiet day. Hubby's making me wait until sun up to go to the Farm because it's uber foggy and still sleet/snowing off and on.
The perimeter alarm at the end of the driveway keeps going off. I rush to my window and peek outside but I never see anything. So it's likely only a deer or reflections made worse by the fog.

I've had a moderate headache all day, but I have one of those almost every day

**EDIT**
Now I have a proper rant. The house is freezing except for my and my daughters bedrooms because we use space heaters. So, I decided to give the furnace a try. It makes a high pitch noise because the fan is being choked by extreme dust (I guess- I've not actually looked at it yet). But it was still producing a little heat. Not all of the floor ducts were releasing heat, though, so I took off a couple covers. *gag* The one in the kitchen had paper plates in it and a pair or pj bottoms that reeked of urine. Which means my tubes under the trailer have fallen down again and critters have moved in.
And now my headache is worse and my nose and eyes are burning from allergies.
Great....

Please stop creeping out my girlfriend.

This is a bit racist, though it still makes for a good read.

Wellllllllll... I was hoping to see the girl I like at this Halloween social I went to, but she wasn't there :'( Awh well, I made a dick of myself instead.

You can't fall me darkmatters, I got this in my e-mail. What are you talking about?

So there I was yesterday, grabbing some coffee and donuts from the cafe on campus. Class had just ended and the munchies had hit me hard so I thought I'd grab some coffee (after a hotdog, a salad, and a muffin; of course). I'm standing there in line, tummy a'rumbling, when I notice this girl looking my way. Huh. A little while later, she's still stealing glances. Weird, I thought. "She's just looking at the menu posted behind me," I said to myself. No matter, it's my turn to order. I take my coffee and scan the room for an empty seat. I choose one and head towards it; as I make my way towards the table, I notice the girl looking at me. We make eye contact and she gives me this big grin. There's no one behind me, so she's obviously looking at me. I just got a new haircut, she probably thinks I look like a goof with my hair like that. Ugh, I knew I should have gone with the regular. No wait... Then it hits me - she's probably looking at me because I have something on my face. That has to be it. No worries Gavin; just break eye contact, turn around, and get the fuck out of the cafe. "Nice, you handled that perfectly Gavin," I quietly tell myself.

Half an hour later, on the bus, it dawned on me that she was probably just checking me out and that smile was probably her being inviting. She was probably expecting me to be normal and strike up a chat but ohhhh no, I don't do normal. >_>

She was cute. Really cute. Adorable, even. Instead of freaking out, I could have just struck up a chat. Jut like that. She was obviously interested but I was too stupid to even realize it. A girl that I find attractive notices me and I royally screw it up. Why am I so fucking bad at this?



Low self-esteem ftl. =/

haha oh yes. I know that feeling.

But, you can always try tomorrow right? And then if she is interested you can say you had to go fight some bad guys yesterday.

Lol well she had this hypnotic spinning spiral thing that just sucked my eyes in and wouldn't let them go - literally I think I stared into it for like 30 seconds before I could break loose!! I tried to post it in that message, but it didn't show up, and then she changed it.

Or did I just hallucinate the whole thing?

Here - I don't think this is it but it looked like this:
