Never understood that. It always perplexes me when someone in a train is listening to crazy loud music in their headphones, or if a car drives past me with bass that sounds like it would obliterate anything on the inside of the car. Firstly I don't get how they can actually like being blasted by that amount of noise, and secondly because I don't understand how they aren't bothered by the fact that others around them can hear it.

But it's one of those things that just confuses me rather than actually annoys me. A sort of live and let live attitude towards it. I actually really dislike it about myself when I don't feel like that. There's a couple of things where, when I stop and actually think about it, they shouldn't actually be as annoying as I feel they are. For example, I was playing Guild Wars 2 the other day, and something happened that I've seen happen many times before.

I joined a server that was marked as a normal EU server, but noticed that there were a couple of them with a [FR], [SP] or [DE] tag on them. Good for them I think. What happened was that as usual, there's a few airheads who apparently decide to go into the non-German servers and then start asking questions in the general chat, in German. This is one of those things that are both genuinely annoying AND completely incomprehensible for me, yet I don't think it should be as annoying as I think it is. Rather, I should just be confused. I do not understand how a person would not join their own German servers if they don't want to speak English. And I don't understand how they can join a non-German server and somehow still expect people to understand German.

And most confusing of all, it seems that only Germans do this. I saw one person say something in Russian, but that was just one time and they don't have their own servers so it makes sense.
I wish I knew the secrets of how some people work. Actually, make that 'some' into 'everyone who isn't me'. People are just so odd!

Work is taking up so much of my time I haven't got the motivation to come on DV as much any more

The amount of people who think Neil Armstrong is the lead singer of Green Day is too damn high!

I miss the good old days when things were marginally less sucky, and there was still hope left in the world.

Yeah, those were slightly more bearable times.

*sigh* ....nostalgia.

I hear ya, man. I hear ya. Not just visiting here less, but putting less effort into lucid dreaming. Bah...

Not remotely related, but it's all I could think of.



This is the dumb stuff I watch on youtube when I need to fry my brain.

The last 40 seconds or so is just retarded, though. Pretend it's not there.

Who thinks this and where do they live? And can you get me a sniper rifle?

This must be the main reason long-time members leave DV. Quite sad. I think everyone needs to find a better balance of everything in their life.
But these idiots want to make us work 8+ hour days so it can be quite impossible to just chill out and do something you enjoy or pick up new hobbies etc coz you're just so drained.
I will try not to let this happen to me. But we'll see.

DAMN it's slow in here!

Editing hours later.... My foot is killing me again. Just below the ankle. I wish I never made that dumb mistake to go on the massive flying fox without a harness when I was a kid. Pretty much every time it's cold it starts hurting again now. Sometimes it doesn't at all, other times I can barely walk on it.
Gonna get some codeine tomorrow. But that means having to deal with the fuckhead pharmacists. Ugh....
The government made dumb laws that they have to take your name down etc. so they know if you take it too much.
But some pharmacists just get way too nosy anyway, and did even before the government brought that law in.
I'm not gonna get addicted, and if I do it's none of your business anyway!

It's always just embarrassing going in there now though, coz they treat you like a junkie or something. Except for one lady at one pharmacist who just asks what it's for and says a little comment coz she has to say stuff I guess, and then gives it to me no hassles.
Then there's one guy who refused it to me even though I only needed one more pack before I got my wisdom teeth out.
So I just went to the other pharmacist lol
Then there's one guy who must think it's basically heroin or something coz he tells you how dangerous it is. Crazy fuck....

The world sucks and I hate everybody in it.

Just found out that Asking Alexandria is coming to Belgium on 21/01/2013 so I asked my friend if he wanted to go with me. But he got exams, so I guess I have to go alone.

My rant is that the universe always finds a way to cock block me. I was at my girlfriends house today, like a CENTIMETRE, a SECOND, away from having my hand under her bra, then the phone rings. It's her mother. "What do you want for dinner tonight?!"
Wrecked the moment, lost my chance. D:

Pre-birthday anxiety, i hate all the hype ugh.
plus loads of school work asdfghjk

I cut myself 40 times today, I got sport class tuesday and I have to wear a tshirt. What a great way to start the new school year with. I also tried to talk with my friend 10 mins ago, but he said I'm a pathethic attention seeker ;x

Crashyy, you don't need to cut yourself.

You can have our attention any time, even if you're not seeking it.

Everyone has problems and pain. Some people handle them better than others. It's time to talk to one of those people to help you with yours.

*hug*

I really got no one to talk to ): And I really don't want to cut. But everytime when I'm angry, depressed, anxious,.. I just have to cut, I just can't help it. And it hurts so much but I LOVE that feeling, I don't even know why?

Pain can feel good, particular when you are numb from depression. It seems like the only real sensation...but it's a false one. It's false pleasure.

It's time for some better coping methods.

Please seek professional help. Life can be so much better.

Crashyy, life can be so much better mate. Life gets better, whether it sounds cliché or not, it's the truth. There are so many things you get to look forward to in your life, falling in love, getting married, having children, travelling, meeting amazing people. There are people who would kill to be in a position like yours, I'm sure you have a roof over your head, and a food source. People live on the streets, get abused, work in factories for 16 hours a day, please make the most of your opportunities. Don't throw away what you can have, in the end it's up to you to pull your life together, and write your own story; make it a positive one.

What do you think will happen to me if I tell my parents I'm depressed, suicidal and a cutter? ;o

I haven't been in the rant thread for a long while, mainly I have nothing to rant about, neither do I want to rant about anything. I'm over and done with my ranting period, now ranting gives me the false feeling that my life is miserable but I know it's pretty good and I think I'm pretty much in control of my feelings. I can just shake off any unwanted affection I have for someone which I know probably nothing will come out of it. How amazing is that?

But I feel the need to reply after I read Crashyy's posts and others' replies.

I'll take your word for it that you're not an attention seeker when you tried to cut yourself. Believe it or not I think there are quite a number of members here who have/had cut themselves. If you really were an attention seeker, you wouldn't have tried to hide your scars. I like the feeling of pain myself too but I haven't use anything sharp to cut myself yet. Used to be only rulers and blunt scissors.

I recalled I was searching for adrenaline once, when the thing I used to loathe was roller coasters. It was like the similar quest for a better feeling to replace your miserable/boring life, like why you seek pain. But then those roller coasters feelings were short-lived, barely fulfilling and no matter what you rode you feel it's not fast enough. Probably by the time I attempt to ride the fastest ride ever on this world, my body would suffer a huge impact from it. Then it occurred to me, nothing can replace the feeling of happiness, the feeling that you'll never get tired of and you'll never get injured from it. If you can't achieve happiness, then strive for a calm feeling with occasion jots of joys, I think it's pretty good too.

If you really need to search for pain, go for it the healthy way. Go exercising and the feeling of muscleache the next day is bliss too.

I don't know, those three things seem so tough to me, I'm looking forward to travelling though. To the DV gathering that was mentioned numerous times but never planned.

Hmm let me guess. Either they go mad and start questioning on why you do this, totally unable to comprehend your actions or they'll start feeling sorry for you and attempt to give you advices or get you professional help.

Meh, I'm not gonna tell them.

I understand what people's hang up is with literally analysing everything about you.
Wear the same clothes often? "Do you have any other clothes?"
Scratch on your face? "OMG what happened to you!?"

etc.

Like, taking your example, who the FUCK even notices someone's knees?
I can honestly say I've never looked at someone's knees unless I'm just staring some hot girl all over lol

Even if I do realise something about somebody, it doesn't even cross my mind to ask about it or make any comment, I don't even take note of it in my head!
It just baffles me that some people do. Really odd.

Dakotah - That's a perfect analogy. People need to learn that you can do stuff for fun., not for any other purpose. I seem to remember your art being good anyway, but maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

I have only posted a couple pictures of my art on here . Mostly as just jokes I guess. But thanks.

People who cut themselves are attention seekers. Until you are willing to face that fact, you aren't going to get better.

Ugh... I started writing replies several hours ago, then I got distracted and then my browser crashed and I don't remember what I was saying lol

everyone.

Suena, you're the only person besides my daughters that I've heard using "a minute" to represent a long passage of time.
This newfangled slang confuses me
Sorry to hear your neighbor is driving you so batty. I'd probably act as you are only worse. I'd keep my lights turned off and hide in my house 24/7

Warheit, not all cutters are attention seekers- period. I started using a blade as I entered my teens and NO ONE knew I cut until my ex-hubby when I was 18. My parents- or rather my mother- didn't learn of it until a couple of years ago. I'm now 38 years old.
BUT, IMHO, if a person cuts themselves in an obvious location, they are seeking attention. But that's not always a bad thing. If it's just to get people to react with shock/sympathy, then yeah. But sometimes people, subconsciously, are wanting a rescuer. They don't know how to ASK for help, so they leave "clues".

And ugh... I cannot tolerate loud music. Or loud ANYTHING. My ex hubby used to blast his car radio and I would've jumped out of a moving vehicle to escape the insanity of the noise if our ride was any longer.

My rant is that I'm sleepy and lazy. I need to get so much practical work done, but I just don't want to move. Ever.
My son annoyed me all afternoon to go grocery shopping and he was getting on my last nerve. I told him I had $5. with his name on it. All he had to do was WALK (*gasp*) to Exxon. Which takes me all of about 12 minutes there AND back. That boy walks like a turtle though, so it probably would have taken him closer to 30. And the last time he walked there, he said it almost killed him because "I am THAT out of shape." I told him to do it on a regular basis then and he asked me if I WANTED him to die

I gave in and went to the store only because he drank my last soda and I was getting hungry too.

Also, my stomach no longer tolerates hotdogs What the heck am I supposed to eat? I guess I'll give in and try Immodium AD
And Osama died Saturday afternoon while I was visiting my daughters He showed no obvious signs of worms either, so I'm beginning to think fleas killed them. Paulie has fleas pretty badly too, but not as bad as his brothers. The damn fleas are fierce this year. In the past, if I sat at my desk as I normally do, with my legs tucked under me, the fleas never bothered me. Now the suckers jump to me.
They still don't bother me nearly as much as the animals or my son.
I hope we have a strong winter this year.

**EDIT**
