Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

I get a text message saying, "Hi."

I don't know the number, I even check my contacts, which isn't a lot , and I ask who is this....they tell me "I'm Megan. Do you know Jessica?"

.................................................. ..................................Hello Megan Fox! I don't know if I know Jessica Alba.

How did they get my phone number?!?!?!? I ask "Jessica Who?"

Like, it just feels weird not knowing who it is. I can't remember meeting a Megan. I know a few Jessicas, but I need a freaking last name.

Why are people so stupid when texting?

Especially when they call a person they know they're calling, and they're like "Who is this?!?"

Sigh....the only way they could know my phone number is through my Facebook, but I even hide that as well. :/

It's too bad it wasn't them.

I just caught myself pulling out my own hair for the second day in a row. It starts out because I run my fingers through the underside of the back of my hair. A hair *feels* loose, so I tug on it but it's not loose at all. But, by God, it still *feels* loose, so I just yank it out. Then others start to bug me so I rip them out too.
I have never been a hair puller before. Well, there was one time when I was pregnant with my first kid and the father was being cruel to me. But that was the one and only time and part of me wonders if I did it for attention.
I'm all alone now though, so what the heck?

I think I need to lay off the caffeine pills. I don't FEEL stressed, but I rarely feel anxious either but my body still reacts even if my mind does not. What the heck do I have to feel stressed about?
Caffeine is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense at all... though I'm actually taking a whole lot less than usual.

Bloody weather - it has been soo random! One day it's hot, the next day it's windy and cold, and day after looks as if it's going to rain and ends up being 25oC+ !

Woah, I didn't expect this kind of response! xD Haha, that's... not what I'm looking for. But it gave me a laugh, so all's good. Besides, the thing I was originally annoyed about blew over.

My rant today is that our internet has been nigh-unusable all weekend! Some idiots on campus are using all of our bandwidth... it's getting absolutely ridiculous and I hope whoever's doing this gets punished for it. Sometimes even Google won't load. But yeah... that's why I haven't been responding to things here. :<

Australia is much worst. Everything there with a heart beat is trying to kill you. It's like the one place where the animals have a larger chance at killing humans then humans have of killing it.

That sounds kind of like Texas near some of the military bases, like Fort Hood.

Here the weather tries to kill people.

This area is known as Flash Flood Alley

My new phone should have been delivered by now. Now I'll have to put up with the long wait when I call customer service. =/

They do have good weed...so I guess it balances out.

Hmm, yea I'd stay clear of caffeine pills... I drink one cup of coffee a day. Really, you shouldn't be having more caffeine than that IMO. You might feel tired at first if you're used to drinking/taking a lot of caffeine, but you'll get used to it and likely feel much better. If you still feel really tired after a while, you may not getting enough sleep (or enough GOOD sleep), or it could be diet-related. Eating the wrong foods will definitely make you tired, while eating the right foods will give you lots of energy (but not too much).


On topic, there are people moving out of my complex right now... it's 12am. Granted, I don't care--I just got home not long ago anyway and I usually don't go to sleep till around 1am. But still. I'm on the 4th floor and can hear them banging and clanking around in their moving van. At 12am. Why would you even want to try and move in the middle of the night? Even when I worked 3rd shift, I still would have preferred some sunlight for something like that.

I should have specified NON coastal.

I love Chico

My dad is probably on the wrong side of one fault, but he is on the right side of the San Andreas, so when S.F. and L.A. slide in to the ocean he will have a beachfront property.

Awesome!


My phone needs charging...and I don't want to put it on the charger.

heh why not

I don't have a cell phone.

I decided paying a ridiculous amount of money for a smart phone was completely pointless (if not stupid), especially considering I pretty much only used it to play wordfeud and check emails + facebook. I might re-activate my old pay-as-you-go phone just to be able to text, but for now my landline works fine. shame that most people seem to hate talking on the phone, even people I'm friends with. I tell them I can't get texts but they can call me instead, but they're like "oh, uh... oh. ok. uh... oh."

I'm just being lazy. It's behind me somewhere. It involves moving things.

I recently used my smartphone to pull up a local Doppler radar image to show me where the storm was, while 85 miles from home and after driving through an intense hail storm. I discovered that I had driven through the worst of it and that if I kept traveling east I would have clear driving most of the way home.

Thank goodness for my smart phone.

Okay...I'll charge it now.

lmfao. These Mancon pics instead of emoticons are going to be great.

Should post them in Meta forum. You know, for the benefit of everyone.

I live in an absolutely perfect area. Most severe weather goes north or south and misses us entirely *knocks on wood*.
We get some minor flooding pretty regularly, but it recedes quickly and never does much damage.

As I left for the store, I finally realized I AM stressing out. And over the silliest thing: I ate a lot today. I swear, I think I'm going to give myself an eating disorder... but at this point, I really don't care
I've been eating 1 meal a day (with healthy snacks) for the last couple weeks or so (with few exceptions). When I found out Sheetz had sushi, though, my resolve went out the window. I've been awake since 6:30AM. In that time, I've had 16 California Rolls and 6 spicy shrimp rolls. I also had my regular 2 Chimichangas of the day (which is normally my "meal" of the day). PLUS, I had a 52 oz Coke despite all the water I've been drinking.

I HAVE been working today though. I've been ripping up carpeting from my floor, painting my walls and the floor, I did 4 loads of laundry and hung them up outside, I wrestled with the dog's house moving it from the field behind the house to the front of the house.
There's 1.5 servings of California Rolls per container. A container holds 4 rolls. I suck at math, so I round my calories to 160 x's 1.5 = 250. 250 x's 16 = freagin 4,000 calories. There's 150 calories per 4 Spicy Rolls but I had 6 = c. 200. Plus my monster Coke at 585. Chimi's are at around 300 each x's 2= 600, For a grand whopping total of over 5,385 calories in one freagin day.

What the freagin heck?! I've not worked THAT hard today.

My sleep schedule HAS been way out of whack. I'm nocturnal by nature, so no matter how early I go to bed or how early I wake up, I'm barely functional before noon and I'm bursting with energy in the evening without caffeine. It's the morning and early afternoon that I rely on caffeine to keep me going. I'm down to about 400 mg caffeine a day (not counting any Soda I drink). I was pushing 1400 mg for a while.

I took a Minipress last night and I went to bed at 11:30. I tossed and turned all night despite the med. I'm going to look into buying some relaxing tea. I'm not a big tea drinker though, so I worry about wasting money.

.... and I'm still wide awake. I'm about to get some more painting done
I'll be damned if I eat anything more than the fish and rice I bought tomorrow. And I wont drive anywhere, so I wont be able to get any soda (I didn't buy any for the house, just one box of tea and 2 cases plus a jug of water).

Sorry about the wall of text............

lol. It's not that bad. We do have the largest number of the most poisonous/venomous animals on Earth, but they live in the bush and will probably run from you if you go near them.
Canada has bears, which will fuck you up if they have cubs nearby.

Just claim it, make it seem really manly >:3

Hmm id say less than 10...maybe around 5+

I can't stay long, have a very busy day. Class, then work, then homework and studying for a silly test. Bleh, that's my rant today.

But I felt compelled to come on here to say this much... Zhay? I feel like you should eat a little more on your normal days so you don't have binge days. One meal a day hardly cuts it for most people. I have a friend who's a recovering anorexic, and I hate to see ya starving yourself like that. I know it's hardly my place to lecture other people, especially when you've been through so much, but... yeah. I don't wanna worry too much about ya.
