Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Gavin. I hope you feel better today! I think anyone who can speak more than 1 language is an absolute genius.

Dianeva. I hope you're feeling better today too.

Thanks Carrot, but ... I might be a nice mom, but I'm a horrible mom

UGH... Just received a call my my youngest boy. He took off. He's such an idiot (and yes, I told him as much) because he's walking from West Virginia to Miami, Florida. Or that's his plan at least. He called me, lost but still excited. I told him I hope he realized I had to tell on him. He said "yeah, why do you think I waited so long to call?)

His sister moving to his part of town pushed his plans forward.
He only had 3 minutes on his phone (an extra cellphone which he took from here before he left- but he left the charger).
It died just as I said "I love you."
Before he left though, I laminated a card with important phone numbers. He left with no money and only the clothes he was wearing.
Yet again, my failures as a mom slap me across my face.
I kept trying to convince him to wait. I told him he could save up money, find better maps etc. He asked what the difference in 6 months is and that he was sick of wasting his life.

I called his facility and let them know- I figured they were clueless because he likely left from school. They, indeed, had no idea, so they're calling the cops. Then I called the Probation Officer and let her know, so she'll be doing whatever she can.

Lol nerd rage.

What happened to me was that I was trying to find a way to replace all the torches in my house with more natural light. I didn't realise it was turning dark until it was too late and a creeper spawned inside....

**Zhaylin** · 02-29-2012 06:12 PM

I'm raging because I just wasted, like, 20 minutes of my life watching TobyGames clips (thank you Link

)

What is this Minecraft and where do I find it?

**melanieb** · 02-29-2012 06:30 PM

I had to wake up. Stupid alarm.

so yeah, not sure if want...

pretty hilarious though. only 9 hours left

edit: meh, decided not to. As much as Sagan will always have a special place in my heart, I can't condone the cheapening mainstream worship.

**Marm** · 02-29-2012 09:39 PM

^Good rant

**Linkzelda** · 03-01-2012 12:36 AM

You know how you walk somewhere, get confused, and try to use your phone as a distraction to make you not look stupid in directions?

Yeah, that was me when I was leaving the Biochemistry Seminar.

A girl is like "Oh you can just use the stairs over here."

I'm like, "Yeah, I know, I just have to get something."

She looks at me and says, "Oh okay."

I had to walk all the way back to the Biochemistry Department to not make myself look like a fool in front of this girl. LOOOOL

One person, Linkzelda41, you go all that way for one girl, one stranger, to save embarrassment. Guess Socially Awkward Penguin Memes relate to me 99% of the time.

**Zhaylin** · 03-01-2012 01:23 AM

Three dogs are in my room. Mine is the only place without the stench of piss and crap and I would like to keep my space that way, thank you very much. As big as Snuffanuff is, he squeezes right through the doggy door I made

I told my son that he's cleaning the old TV Room and Kitchen TONIGHT- including mopping "But I don't have a decent mop" Then use an old rag, son. This house is wayyy disgusting.
BUT, *I'VE* been taking all the dogs outside every couple of hours. And they all go- including the pup and the male. The trouble is, as soon as I go to sleep, my son doesn't let them out.

I also feel very ill. I was stupid and took a caffeine pill on a mostly empty stomach

But I'm sick of sleeping.
I'm sick of doing nothing but RuneScape and Facebook games. My room needs cleaned. I need to tear up my carpet but I can't do that until Sunday when I can buy a box cutter (an x-acto blade just doesn't cut it

)

I removed EVERYTHING from my stomach earlier. Then I applied some steroid cream then put a piece of tape over the little cuts but not the big one. I'm letting it air out a while. Everything is healing nicely, but there's a secondary cut just beside the incision at my navel. It's irritated as crap, but not infected. I have no idea how I got it.
I saw my p-doc today and cried like a big bawl baby. He must think I'm the biggest baby in the world. He tells me to stop being so hard on myself. Maybe it will eventually sink in.

**Puffin** · 03-01-2012 01:27 AM

Those MANY awkward moments when you're brave enough to turn your stereo way up with hard rock music playing, and your dad has the nerve to constantly joke about it being "teenage angst music". -__-

Yeah, like the 60's music you enjoy is any better to me than my music is to you.

I did this just the other day.

If enough people are socially awkward penguins, would the confident people then be considered socially awkward? A question for the philociraptor....

**melanieb** · 03-01-2012 02:21 AM

Star-bellied sneetches?

I'm way too full of Chinese food right now.

Wow, this sucks, my biggest rant at the moment is that I'm too full of food. I suck.

I suppose I have plenty to rant about. I need to make a property tax payment tonight before the penalties for being late go up.

I have spent weeks trying to get my son to start recognizing that his carefree approach to school is causing problems, and I'm tired of riding his ass to get him to make up missing assignments.

That stupid ass I mentioned a couple weeks ago who parks his truck in a spot where it blocks traffic during the morning school drop-off is back. He even mouthed off to another parent besides me and he was actually standing next to the principal at the time. Ass.

My son wants to go on the band trip and not on the Canada trip that I've been pouring money in to for months. Ass.

I need to do dishes...and put away laundry...and clean the table of all the crap piled on it...and continue obtaining files off the old computer...and fix a connectivity issue with the laptop...and on and on.

I just want to say this again: Ass.

Yeah, that about sums it up. (not really but I am too full to type out some of the really crazy stuff right now)

**Linkzelda** · 03-01-2012 02:27 AM

The life of a hard working mother.

I'm still full from the Sweet and Sour Chicken and Fried Rice with Eggroll lunch special from the Vietnamese Restaurant. I think they put Cthulhu with some level 99 sugar and seasoning in it.

I get to go on "vacation" in a few weeks. A whole week of missing school and watching my family being dysfunctional.

**Taffy** · 03-01-2012 02:50 AM

Today's lesson is on how to not give a fuck while working on school projects. In the event you have to do an art project for Spanish class, you may find yourself shouting "FUCK" several times repeatedly when it comes out like a blobby mess. This is normal. In fact, your project hates you. And so does the oil pastels that you're using and so does the canvas and so does that tree outside your window and so does this biology textbook next to you. So the next time you attempt to draw with oil pastels for a school project follow these guidelines:

-Give it your best shot. Draw out the whole thing, then try coloring it without any prior knowledge of oil pastels, or even art in general.
-Watch in agony and pain as you mess the entire thing up, minute after minute.
-Realize you just spent an hour of your life messing up, and contemplate doing it over.
-Drop your "fucks given" counter to zero.

And thus you should continue working on your art unaware of all the mistakes and hope for the best.

**melanieb** · 03-01-2012 02:53 AM

Sounds fun.

I'm going to drive my kids 1,745 miles over the course of two days to go spend a week with my 69y/o pot-smoking dad who has the mental development of a 19y/o college drop-out.

Yeah, this is going to be a Spring Break to remember.

And it'll take years of counseling to forget.

Four of my friends tripped on acid last night, or at least they were told it was acid (I have reason to believe it wasn't). The first friend I'm not sure how many hits he took, but I assume two or three based on his track record. His personality was shattered into pieces and all the different aspects of him decided to play hide and seek with him. He wandered around searching for them one by one until he would get tired of one and it would run off to hide again and he would go on to the next one. The second friend took two hits. She mostly observed the other friends, but everything they said caused her to branch off into infinite trees based on the subject, like someone said something about her being too weak to do something (she's really small and skinny) and she ended up getting stuck on a thought about how the human race is weak and disgusting and will eventually die off. She was also stuck going back and forth between extremely happy and extremely depressed depending on whether or not they were walking on a certain trail outside. The third friend took five hits. He wandered off and threw himself into a pile of thorns and started thrashing around. He claimed that he was fighting off demons and was screaming at the top of his lungs. He thought the rest of the friends were evil temptations trying to trick him into sinning, and he didn't believe anything they said (like that they were trying to go back to the car, he said he didn't believe there ever was any car or that they were even who they said they were or that he was who he thought he was, or that any life had ever even existed before that moment for a car to be in). When they tried to get him to calm down he would scream at them that they couldn't control him. He continued to loop back to thrashing in the thorns all night. He looks like he got mauled by a bear and he can barely speak because his throat is so sore. The fourth friend took two hits. He started going on an analytical trip and started thinking of the entire situation as a game, spending the whole thing decoding the other friends' trips and learning how to control their actions during it. They all got lost in an incredibly small meadow and almost didn't find their way back, and they all have thorn scratches from fighting off the third friend.

I miss tripping. :'<

**Linkzelda** · 03-01-2012 03:24 AM

I seem to be able to do all those things without drugs or supplements in dissociating into several personalities.

I really must be bloody crazy (I do go into that state of hating the human race a lot), I think it's because I've repeated seeing episodes 85-93 of Yu Yu Hakusho, and really liking Sensui's complex personality, especially Itsuki's weird demeanor of hugging a corpse for eternity.

I seem to be crazier than people who are really just plain crazy lol. It's like I can make crazy people innocent and pure for some odd reason.

**~~Alyzarin~~** · 03-01-2012 03:29 AM

You may be able to do things that have some similar themes to those, but I promise you you weren't in the exact same mindsets that they were.

At least, not unless you hallucinate rainbow fractals and light distortions and melting walls and people turning into demons when you're in those states of mind.

But that's okay Link, I'm pretty crazy too. We can be crazy together.

**melanieb** · 03-01-2012 03:31 AM

I used to trip...a lot. Acid was my favorite drug, I had no trouble with it.

But other people I tripped with, didn't handle their trip so well.

Remind me to tell you the story sometime.

My dad, at 69, has probably tripped as recently as the last five to seven years.

He gets some quality LSD, not the stuff you typically find on the street (he can afford it if he wants it). Common acid may contain other substances with effects more akin to PCP.

I sometimes miss acid also.

Acid helped me learn how to fundlegrok my spindlywizzums.

What the heck is a - never mind X.X

Spoiler for Okay, maybe I'm not that crazy.:

I'm going to head to the Chill Conversation and Rambling zone now. Peace.

**~~Alyzarin~~** · 03-01-2012 03:44 AM

Yeah, the stuff they got wasn't acid. From some of the stuff they told me it sounds more like DOI, or at least some DOx (but definitely most like DOI to me). I have a love/hate relationship with LSD. I don't think it's even possible for me to not handle my trip, but that actually factors into the trip for me. All of my acid trips are like good and bad at the same time. What I mean by it factors in is that I have these amazing experiences because as a psychedelic it just plain rocks, but I also always get stuck on the thought that I can handle more, and in the back of my mind it makes me turn all addicty about it. No matter what. The highest dose I ever took was 20 strong hits and it was a wonderful trip, but the entire trip the thought I always would come back to was "Why did I only get this much, I should've bought more, I could've taken at least 40 or 50." It got kind of annoying because it made it so that even when I had incredible trips I was never able to feel satisfied by them.

If it wasn't for that, I would be 100% completely for LSD and nothing else. But as a result, I actually prefer the other stuff people sell as LSD, only I still choose LSD over them generally because you can safely dose so much higher. (SO much higher.) I also like PCP though.

And my dad is 62 and he's tripped within the last few months.

Imagine this visible over everything you look at, kind of a mix between the real world and this. And that is spindlywizzums.

I used to buy sheets of acid at a time, back when my money had nothing to go to, and I would sell/share with my friends.

Most I ever did in one night was about 23 hits, but after the fun was all over I stayed up for two-and-a-half days and completely repainted my room (which involved moving everything out and then back in).

Any quantity over 6 hits and I tended to get insanely aroused, and it sucked because I was never around the right person at that key moment.

**anderj101** · 03-01-2012 03:58 AM

Holy flippin' cow!

There are a lot of posts in this thread. I only ever check this thread when it's time for me to grumble.

My left knee started giving me shit this afternoon, now it hurts like hell. It's fine if I don't stand on it, but one trip up and down the steps leaves me ready to grab the chainsaw and hack my leg off.

I'm contemplating taking a Vicodin to knock it down, but I hate taking pain pills unless absolutely necessary. If it felt swollen or something, I'd try an anti-inflammatory. Not sure what I did to it other than moving some shit around at work today.

Second rant of the day: Idiots who text while driving. I found a winner today, so I got right up beside the car, and then laid on the horn while abruptly swerving toward it. It was somewhat satisfying to watch the phone bounce off the windshield as both hands went on the wheel, sharply jerking to the right and into the mud along the road.
