Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Ophelia

My rant/rave is that my period finally decided to show up.
I'm still sick, but getting better.
My son is quitting his job again
But I sympathize this time. The company is on the verge of going under, so there's a LOT of upheaval. They're trying to switch his campaign from Serious to ComCast with no training. He wouldn't mind switching from one to the other if they would train him (different billing system etc).

Another rant is that all of the dogs are in my room. Lovely. Especially seeing how Duke always wants to piss on my wall He's being a good boy right now, though, so maybe I've finally broken the habit.
One of the puppies are supposedly being sold tonight. It will be the first we've not just given away lol. But I'll believe it when she gets here.
And Paula might get mad at me, but we need to find a home for her puppy too. And Duke. My only dog is Keira, yet I have to take care of all of them. Destinee doesn't do squat and Paula works all day.
... and now the cats are coming in my room They're in here for my AC.

Hope everyone's well.

That was my post from last year and I turned 26 today.
Rave: I had sex with 3 people over the year.
Rave2: I have a 9-day vacation.

Blocking a lane of traffic because you double-parked an empty curbside parking space... a space twice the length of your car, at that. Why do people do this?

Rant: I woke up not so long ago and now it's almost 8pm and I still haven't started my revision for my 2 exams tomorrow. So basically I'm screwed We went to a festival yesterday and we got back home at about 4am. And now I have a sore throat, a really bad headache and I'm covered in bruises so pretty much everything hurts. It was worth it though cos we managed to get quite close to the barriers for "a day to remember" considering there were like 50k people watching them





I really needed this day off because I've had work experience all week and most of the days were just so shit. I couldn't seem to do anything right and everything was just really stressful. But I just gotta get through the next two days and then I'll have two months off. Like I'll be so glad once this school year is over, I'm so tired and not just physically but mentally as well. At the same time, the summer holidays kinda scare me. Knowing me, I'll probably isolate myself for most of it which will make me so depressed. I've been feeling very lonely lately while all of my friends are in a relationship and having the time of their lives. I really don't want to be alone anymore

for everyone.

Rant: I'm still sick but still getting a little better every day. My son's had his cough for a month now. He's a smoker though and his room is extremely mildew-y from the water leak. Paula still has her cough but she was smoking too. She broke down and committed to vaping yesterday. Out of everyone, I've been the least sick.
Rave: my son didn't quit after all. He just took a personal day to wind down. He and Paula are still planning on leaving the company soon- there's just too much insecurity; but for now, they're toughing it out. But I'm back on taxi duty. Paula can't find the guy who was selling her the car. She has the car and he signed the back of the title over to her, but nothing was properly notorized. She was pulled over last week (just a warning) and now she's being extra cautious.
She still owes something like $130. on the car, but the guy's nowhere to be found. His sister works with them (he worked with them) and she doesn't even know where he's at (they live separately).

Another rave is that I'm on another major Minecraft kick. I'm creating my version of Fallout3 I used a seed for it. It's a mesa but gosh is it glitchy.
I also got a Fallout game (Fallout Shelter) for my iPad and I'm forever checking in on my people

Life is good.
We also sold the last 2 puppies. One for $30., one for $40. It's not enough to get momma spayed, but is it enough to get caught up on my laundry (which I STILL haven't done ) I have 2 large containers and a huge dufflebag stuffed with clothes.

I did my speech today for school, and I did horrible. I hate speeches, interviews, or even just explaining things to people. It's not that I get nervous. Speaking to one person vs a huge crowd makes very little difference. My problem is just that I'm horrendous at trying to convey my thoughts/knowledge/feelings verbally. All those things flow perfectly fine and coherently in my head, but it's as if there's a barrier when I try to put them into spoken words. Bits and pieces of what I want to say come out, but much gets left behind or distorted. Like my mind is running on it's own and completely oblivious to what my mouth is doing.


I don't know if I'm getting worse as I age or if it just becomes more obvious, but it's one of the few things about myself that really depresses me sometimes. I'm perfectly fine in day-to-day interactions and casual communication. I can bullshit with people about stupid things as good as anyone else. It's just when I'm trying to convey more 'intimate' things--my thoughts, opinions, knowledge, feelings--that I hit a wall. At one point during my speech I noticed a look of bewilderment on many of the people, like I had dropped my pants or something.

The trick is to talk slowly. Basically, when you say "uh" and "um" you are having verbal flubs in conversation. Listen to someone talk (actually listen to every word). If they are talking casually, there will be fewer because the story comes natural. If they are presenting, they want to hit points.

So, what you do is listen to professional speakers. They talk very methodically, calmly, and slowly hitting their points, working the words to deliver the idea they want as clearly as possible. They are never rushed.

Practice that. Do it in conversation. It'll make you sound more intelligent and deliberate in what you are saying and people will listen to you.

If you create an account at jw.org you can use the library. In the library is one of the most valuable books I've ever read when it comes to public speaking. It's called... what the heck.... now I hit a wall "Benefit from Theocratic Ministry School Education." or "be" (which is how I always think of it) or "Ministry School". Of course, it's talking about the preaching/teaching activities of Jehovah's Witnesses, but it can be applied toward any topic.

My rants are the heat and my stomach. I'm now in the AC, so that will improve quickly. My stomach on the other hand. Ugh. No more McDonald's for me lol

Raves: We're getting rid of a slew of cats and kittens today.
I picked up an awesome headlamp last night AND Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn. I also bought a backpack but I'm returning it tonight. It carries a water "bag" but it was more expensive than I thought ($30. instead of $24.) and I'd rather just get a real backpack.
My headlamp is amazing. It'll go through batteries quickly, though, so I need to invest in some rechargeable ones.

Happy late birthday! and congrats on the sex

I can still catch up, I know it. I will have sex again before I'm 26. Even if I have to pay for it.

edit: oh, so apparently I'm pretty good at poker. I'm thinking about going to the casino some time soon.

Thank you.
And I assure you won't have to pay for it in case you're coming to Bangalore any time.

Get a room you two

My rant is that the cats are still here.... but Duke is gone. One of the kittens is dying, so nature has a way to keep the population in check (sad as it is).
Rant: I have to go to Wal-mart. I just woke up and don't really want to go anywhere. Rave: I'm leaving now though because we're supposed to be getting a massively impressive storm.

Rant: I still have not done my laundry. What the heck is wrong with me? How difficult is it to drive 10 minutes to the laundromat and wait there 2 hours for EVERYTHING to be done? I bought a teeshirt and found a pair of shorts. This is it. (I know I've said that before but then I found more clothes ) Hmm... maybe I'll go during the storm. Every washer/dryer should be available then. But then we'd probably lose electricity and I'd be out of my money.

Rave: Final Fantasy is a much better game than I thought it would be. Rant: It's taking me forever to level up and learn the maps.

Gotta get going. Have a great day everyone.

Enjoy your life of being a stupid fucking dickhead.

Hey fuck you, alright? It was an accident and I already apologized. Get over yourself, you should be thanking me for even taking the time to try it out in the first place.















































idk =P

Thank you GG

You smarmy bastard

*books plane flight*

Hey wait, that means I'm still paying for it.

*cancels tickets*

The number-one glitch of eye lashes is that they don't protect you from themselves.

Aristaeus I've always hated my eyelashes. I'd be happy if they all fell out and never grew back. They're always falling in my eyes and driving me batty (was a whole lot worse when I was a kid though).

My rant is that Final Fantasy is down for maintenance. I created a second toon- a marauder instead of my archer. I like it so much better.
My son gets his copy of the game on Friday (or thereabouts) and then we'll play together.

Gah... just had to go hunt down a "bee" for the scardy girls. It was a June Bug. I would not kill it.

Another rant is that I bought a cheeseburger at around 5:30. I ate half of it and set the other half aside. Now I want to eat it, but it has mayo on it and some 7 1/2 hours have passed. I'll risk it.
Otherwise, life is quiet and good.

I WANT MOAR!!!

















but I wish I could get rid of my wants : [

I hate feeling so lonely

It's a feeling that never really goes away, even when you have a lot of people around you.

Rant: I look like a badass in glasses but I don't have any astigmatisms? Look Im really scraping the bottom of the barrel here

Really though I'm in the same boat. I'm by myself 95% of the time now. It's not so bad if I feel like doing my hobbies. It's when I don't feel like doing anything that I feel lonely.

Got highlights. Yay

Picture is broken Anju. Sounds amazing though

Thankfully, I don't get lonely. Then again, I'm never alone enough to GET lonely I prefer my own company and that of my animals. I don't like the drama and chaos that seems to follow other people.

My rants are: I've been so friggin SLEEPY. I just can't get enough even though my sleep effeciency (gah sp!) has been running in the high 70-mid 80's. My eyes are burning which makes me think I'm sleepy. And my cough is returning. It's not as bad as it was the first time around, but it's still creeping back which is highly annoying.

rofl, my dog just squished a fly. Or tried to anyhow. It landed on the ground and she slammed her paw over it.

Hope everyone has a great day

I can't help it.

Mr. Boss Man: Hey Justin, there's some overtime availa--
Me: I'll do it.

So I worked 8 hours 3rd shift, punched out for 4 hours and went to school, then came back and worked another 8 hours. But this is purely a rave at this point, because I'm done. No work all next week, just school. And I've got an open beer and a cheese steak sitting next to me. Time to vegetate.
