I'll reward you with sour gummy worms if you work hard


Rant:

I didn't recall any dreams today. I can take a few no recall days, I mean, I'll always look forward to the next night (as long as I'm not dead from some kind of instant death)......but it's pissing me off lol.

About that death thing, it's annoying me man. Just......it's just awkward going about waking life, and having a random scenario on how a person can die. It doesn't happen a lot, but I usually imagine heads chopping off, etc....just....it gets annoying and sometimes a little traumatic at times.

I've also have a growing interest in Time Dilation in dreaming, but damn, I'll need to stop that until I can get lucid frequently. I ALWAYS say that I'll get lucid frequently, and it's just NOTHING...I'm going to play a game or something to sublimate my rage >.<

Social Tangency: an unfortunate situation, and the utmost of the firstworld problems.

That's how I was until the last month or so of high school. I never really had a group of my own other than hanging out with a few other close friends who were basically in the same situation, and the main thing we had in common was just that we all were kind of separate from all of the drama, so things were just really chill when we hung out. It wasn't the most glamorous of lives, but we always had fun.

When I started doing drugs I found my social group. I was really happy and got so into it that I become really removed and some of my close friends stopped talking to me, and others that followed me became heavy drug users. My new friends and I were fairly sleezy people, we went around fucking with people who pissed us off and stealing stuff for no reason, and pawning everything we owned (and things that other people owned) for more money to get drugs. The people I hung out with were the kinds of people who always carry knives or guns, and put crack at the bottom of a bowl of weed as a joke. I got arrested twice, once for drunk driving and once for drug paraphernalia. Eventually when the fog sort of cleared and I realized what I was doing and cleaned up my act and got my arrests removed from my record, but I still didn't stop doing drugs. I ended up doing them so much because I just wanted to escape and undo a lot of the things that I had done that I started getting serious anxiety issues and probably legitimately damaged my body to an extent. It took me over half a year to escape daily panic attacks and I still think I'll have the slightest bit of anxiety for the rest of my life, and possibly health problems in the future.

Some of my old friends still don't really talk to me anymore. Others are getting into things so heavy that I'm afraid they're going to have the same kinds of problems I did, and I know that it's my fault for leading them there. Not every single thing that came out of this was bad, but... a lot of it was.

Sometimes it's not so bad to be a social tangent. People who are tend to be the most relaxed, in my experience, and there are plenty of others out there to meet.

Not advice, just perspective. I guess it kind of counts as a rant, too.

You got me worried for a moment thinking there are limitations to the things people can take on DV.

Appointment with the specialist today at 1:00 (two and a half hours from now). She told me not to smoke at all but I sort of ignored her because I wasn't able to make a tincture, hopefully it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass. I also missed an entire week of class. So much work to catch up on. >_<

Trying to get back into shape too, but I hate working out. =/

[RANT] My son's temperature is 104.9F. I just had to put him in a bath to cool down. [/RANT]

Not a clue, lol. but it's fixed now. The next hurdle is finding out how much it was -.-

And O.o. Fever?

If there is a limit, I would hate to see what would reach it.

Time for a good-old-fashioned complaining about first-world problems.

We finally got internet after 5 dreadful days without it. I didn't even expect it to work because there seem to always be things going wrong in this house. I spent like 3 hours picking up sticks a couple days ago that a storm left. The water doesn't work... they had an plumber come in before we moved in here who supposedly fixed it but it still didn't work. Then they called another company that was supposed to come yesterday but they never showed up and later said they'd been too busy. Now there's supposed to be someone coming today in 45 mins from another company.... Our cigarette making machine has been fucking up.

I wish that I was allowed to work here so that I'd be making some income. Right now I feel like I've taken on the role of a housewife. I spent the first day here cleaning constantly, picking up sticks and unpacking things. Then my boyfriend left the bread open I got kind of annoyed but didn't say anything because I never want to turn into one of those nagging women. I don't even use that bread so if it goes hard it's his problem. I did mention it later in a joking manner and he closed it and all was fine, but even the fact that I got annoyed internally pissed me off because I'm reminding myself of those annoying women on TV sitcoms or my mother and I never, ever want to turn into that. This is going to end sometime and I am going to go back to school. And now he's been hinting that I could cook dinner while he's gone. He knows I have a problem with taking on that role so he doesn't push it, but it would make sense for me to do.... I mean I'll hardly be doing anything all day and he gets home at about dinner time. I barely even know how to cook anything, except like... spaghetti. Even though it makes sense for me to cook and clean, taking on the housewife role just gets to me, makes me feel weak and useless. I need to do something, start writing more or learn about things, once this plumbing thing is taken care of, so I don't feel completely useless.

Another thing that's been annoying me lately is that I can't seem to pay for anything online due to geographical conflictions. My credit card is registered in Canada but I try to purchase things in the US. I've failed at ordering about 4 things due to this. The most recently was annoying... I was ordering a Dexter download from amazon but it wouldn't let me. Then I tried on itunes and the geographical problem arose. So I went onto the Canadian itunes and it let me register and seemed to work fine, until I realized they didn't sell Dexter on the Canadian itunes.

After all the business of the last week I was looking forward to having the weekend alone with my boyfriend in this house, but now his dad wants to go fishing on Sat/Sun with him and has invited me along. Fishing? I'm someone who literally would never hurt a fly so this is not going to be fun. And if we're just letting them go after catching them it will seem pointless.

Anyway I'm going to go to the happy/cheerful thread to try to find good things.

You turned out alright though, right? ^_^

Aww, gore and horror are fun.

Firstly I can't sleep because of cramp in the legs so I decided to get up and post here.

Secondly, this is the last week I'll be together with most of my friends. Soon I will be going university in the US while they are here in the UK. All the fun, laughter and unity that we've shared over the past five years.. the experience is unique; it will never quite be the same again. Sigh...

I dropped my phone today, and it went down HARD. I picked it up and it was fine, miraculously. I thought "wow, this phone can withstand anything." Then I put it in my bag to go to my dad's house and when I took it out after I arrived it had a HUGE crack, the screen is completely shattered from the inside. I don't know what I'm going to do. My mom won't be mad, she never gets mad at me for things like this, then I feel guilty for being stupid and she has to pay for it. Not to mention my brother's laptop screen just cracked so she has to pay for that too. Ugh.

Electrolyte drinks ftw. Stopped my cramps.

Those women (yes it's TV but it holds true for IRL) hate their lives. That's why they get angry over petty things.

Cooking is EASY! And you want to learn something, right? Learn to cook!
Seriously it's quite easy, at least for me. Just go to the supermarket and choose things that you think will go nicely together.
You can usually tell by the name, look, smell, texture etc. if you don't think about it too much.
I can throw things together that I've never tasted or even seen before and it tastes good.
Start with adding things to normal spaghetti sauce and go from there.

Get a pre-paid credit card.

You indirectly kill animals when you eat meat. Just think of it as you're sparing a cow and eating a fish.


My rant is that I forgot to order tickets to the Missy Higgins concert.... FUFUUDFSADKGVNDFHBDKFBNADRKN@#@#@$@$@#@#@##@!~!!!! !!!!!!SFUCK! FUCK FUCK
There are only horrible seats left. Obstructed view (poles in fron't of your face, wtf, why do they have seats there?) (all seats are the same price, $65 wtf again?) or the top
level about 3 rows back. This is shit.

I've waited over 5 years to see her live. She sort of quit music during that time and I hadn't seen her yet. Finally had a chance and I forget. wtf man..... scumbag brain.
Guess I'll play the waiting game for a another year or two....

I hate that too, but I don't know if it's too much for dv.

Everyone can stop worrying about zahylin,, she just liked a couple of my post. So I guess she's not dead... Just giving us the silent treatment.

My rant: I was just laying down, minding my own business. When I piece of dirt jumps in and attacks my eye. Now I'm going crazy trying not to move while getting it out.

I'm back... I think.
I guess I'm depressed. I've been avoiding coming here because I lied on another forum about my bird dying and wanted to rant about it here but worried someone would search my name. Then I thought about continuing the lie here- a place I absolutely love, so I've just been avoiding forums altogether. Who knows. Maybe I did lie about it here and just forgot.

The people on the bird forum were crazy. One person, 2 states away, offered to drive to my house to pick up my bird so I ended up telling them she died. She's still alive. I still can't afford a vet. She still has (most likely) Peritonitis (sp) in her stomach. But she's still active, still eating and otherwise still fine.
I love my pets, but I won't pay hundreds of dollars or more to get them treated. Maybe if I was rich, that would be different. If they become too far gone, I'll kill them. I had to put that kitten down last year so I now know I'm capable of it.
Anyhow... according to them, I'm the worst person ever.

Then, there's more drama with my kids and family (nothing drastic, just the "usual" for us). There's no real reason for me to be so down in the dumps. Everything bores me. Not even my games leave me happy or content so I'm finally giving up on them. Farmville annoys me more than anything because my internet has been strange and the game never wants to load which just irritates me.

Hope everyone is well. I'm up to page 140 in the rants. to everyone.

Welcome back Zhaylin!!! We've missed you!

Thank you.
It's nice to see you back as well

My rant was over pointless stupid things so I expected any reply to be negative/insulting and was afraid to read, but this wasn't, so thanks.

Or sparing like 1/15th of a cow for a fish. Killing fish won't be too bad. If it were something like deer hunting I'm pretty sure I'd refuse.

Yay, Zhaylin's back!!! So you told them you'd been lying?

But the ususal for you does seem to be drastic. What about newer, non-browser-based games? Have you stopped playing Skyrim? Tried Portal?

EDIT: Update - the plumber never came for the second day in a row... (3rd fail, all different companies). Now he's supposed to come tomorrow at 8am. I'm going to get almost no sleep and he's probably just going to show up late if at all.

No. I never told them I lied. I was the world's worst person for loving my bird as best I can within my means. Yeah, it's irresponsible to take on a pet if you can't pay for their vet bills, but all of my animals (except the bunny) were given to me by people who were mistreating them or about to take the animal to the pound. Because I can't pay for a vet, should I just refuse them? Even if I *should*, I just can't do that.

Playing PS3 games etc, would require me to leave my bedroom. I can't do that. Not for any length of time anyhow. I paid my oldest son to get some cleaning done, but 2 months later, the same messes are in the same places. My youngest son came home earlier this week, so my oldest finally did get some work done. And I got the bedroom of my youngest cleaned up etc. But it's too chaotic out there. And my oldest sleeps on the couch so it's beyond smelly.
No thank you. I'd rather live in my cluttered but clean and relatively smell-free bedroom
