Thread: Rant and Rave, Cry and Complain

Link -- long time no see. How has school been treating you? What is new in your life? Got any new artwork to share!?

Turned out it was a trick question...

We all missed the fact that adding the D2O (deuterium oxide, or heavy water) would result in the OH peaks on the diol exchanging for the deuteriums of the D2O (-OH --> -OD). Adding excess amounts of D2O results in the disappearance of all exchangeable hydrogens because deuterium is not spin-1/2, so no peak will be produced.

Enough chem for the day. Actually I gave up chem for life.

Response here

@Warheit dude I will pay give me your address

DAVE. Everytime I see you around in the forums, I swear your name is changed to somethingelseDave. At least I always know who you are, I guess. Or maybe I'm beginning to get you confused with someone else... just quit confusing me. :/ Mk? Thanks, Dave. ;p

@ Alyzarin:

I've been feeling the same way for the past week or so. You're the second person I've seen now to echo my thoughts that they didn't feel politically educated enough to cast a vote. I even hesitated on going with the man to the election office for this reason. I also regret not doing my "homework" on the subject. I paid more attention to these elections than I did in 08', the year I turned 18 and could have voted but didn't because I wasn't feeling it, so to speak. But I still don't feel like I held too much opinion on either Romney or Obama. I voted for Obama, truth be told, but it was like picking the lesser of two evils, as I expected voting to be like anyway. I don't think it would have made too much difference either way, except that, and I know this is selfish, I felt like Obama's beliefs would directly influence my life in a more positive way than Romney's would, being at the bottom of everything. I still don't feel like it was enough for me to make a vote though.

That brings me to Melanieb's point that we vote depending on our circumstances. Ultimately, I felt this was good enough for the time being and that if sometime in the future I would reflect on this election, I don't think I would feel bad for being one out of millions that voted for Obama. I still hate the fact that I even registered as a "democrat" though because I hate the whole party system, too. My kid's father is pretty much left-wing on everything, so I think he has an influence over me. My dad would never let me hear the end of it though if he knew I voted for Obama. I'll just let him keep thinking that I didn't vote at all. (It's kind of nice to avoid the confrontation.)

I was more focused on my school and my son this election year. Maybe in another four years I will have formed a more solid line of reasoning when choosing who I feel is best to lead our country.

@ Dianeva: a lot of what I knew of either candidates was based on others' constant ranting about them to me also. This is why I'd rather form my own opinion next time instead of letting myself be influenced even the slightest by others who may or may not have their facts straight. At least I feel lucky enough to have heard both sides. A lot of my family and old friends on facebook are republicans, and many of the people I actually live around and associate with are democrats, so, I felt like both sides had some equally valid points. Does quite a job to our minds though huh?

OK. That's probably all I will say of politics.

My rant: I am so tired but won't sleep. If any of you are like me, then the creepiest noises will make you want to sleep with your eyes open, which I don't know about you guys, but I can't do that. My mom decided to keep my little squish another night, so I think I'm feeling a little separation anxiety, depression over it. It's just weird to not see your child for more than 24 hours and I keep thinking, damn, what if something bad happens? No, no, stop thinking like that... but ... what if I don't see him again? No, no, quit it. But the thoughts keep coming and I worry the zombie apocalypse is going to start while he's away from me and I won't be able to protect him and... fuck, it's depressing, you see?

And why do I ALWAYS, and I mean every night, before I go to sleep, I ALWAYS have to wonder "am I going to wake up to zombies tomorrow morning?" Then I spend about thirty minutes to an hour trying to lay completely still and be completely quiet so that I can hear what's going on outside of my house. This is pretty obsessive, isn't it? I'm getting a little worried about my paranoid thoughts... I mean, shit. Every night I go to sleep thinking of zombies and aliens... I stare intently at the dark, feeling for every shape with my eyeballs and watching the shadows, making sure they're not really moving and that they are just my eyes playing tricks on me. Ugh. I've been afraid of the dark for as long as I can remember. And I hate this obsession the world has with zombies right now and the 2012 apocalypse, because my mind is so easily prone to paranoias and conspiracies.

Ok. Another thing, I went to my 34 weeks 4 day check up yesterday and surprise, instead of gaining five pounds like I could have swore was going on the past two weeks, I lost two pounds. Go figure. I was kind of relieved to hear that I hadn't gained any more, but also a little worried that I had lost some. I'm still within the normal range of weight gain though, smack in the middle actually, so I guess it's not a bad thing unless I keep losing.

Let's see... anything else.. Yes.. Heartburn. That's all. :3

EDIT: I lied.

I decided to swtich over to facebook and found a ridiculous music video by Pink, something about sluts and almost, ALMOST, posted something out of character (at least out of facebook character). Highlight, right-click, cut, go to dreamviews and paste.

"Was pop music really this bad when I was a kid? WTF is going on in the music world? Just stop. Knock it off. Before you even begin to write another dumb song about ice cream and sluts, JUST QUIT. Please. You're killing us and the impressionable little twelve year old girls who buy your ridiculous albums. Quit being what's wrong with the world."

Much better. Didn't wanna just delete it, so I'll leave it here. I think I'm done for the night.

lol and Suena. I know what you mean about separation anxiety. When my crew was young, I was terrified of being separated from them. I kept thinking "what if war breaks out or some other disaster? What if the government shuts down the roads? What if the airports are closed? What if......" I would drive myself bonkers thinking about every possible thing that could go wrong And it never did.
If I had a kid today, though, I know I would still worry.

My rant is that I'm too tightly wound to sleep. Hubby finally said we'd try to leave at 9, then changed it to 8... 1 1/2 hours from now. Then I have a glorious 10-12 hour drive ahead of me. Hubby has likely gotten little to no sleep as well. The drive will be completely up to me. I do prefer it that way though. I don't trust other people behind the wheel lol. I told him to bring lots of didrex. Between that, caffeine and binaural beats through my earbuds, I should do fine (yeah, I know that's a no-no, but hubby likes to drive in either complete silence or listen to some informative podcast or another).

ANTI-RANT. I've not been able to update or sync my iPad in a couple of years. My kids used it more than me, so I never tried all that hard. I figured I'd have to erase iTunes which I didn't want to do because nothing is backed up on floppy... errr CD lol But I wanted to bring it this time so I COULD listen to music and binaural beats, so all I did was go to "uninstall" then I "repaired" iTunes. And it actually worked And then it took forever to sync (187 apps lol, I forgot to pick and choose ahead of time), but it was successful

Now I need to go to Wally World to buy a couple things I forgot... I need to ask hubby if I can dry 2 shirts (I forgot all about them and they're my favorites), then I need to get a shower and be ready to go as soon as hubby's set.
I might check in again before I head out. If not, I should be back Tuesday evening or Wednesday.
Miss you guys already

**EDIT**
BAH!! Can I call it, or what?! I just got off the "phone" with hubby who complained about waking often because he was itchy all over. The reason? There must have been mites or something on my clothes which transferred to his dryer and the load of clothes he dried after me I'm not even going to attempt to ask to use it again. I'll just have to go without my favorite tops

MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE

Does this count?

I think there was a thread at some point started with that video. Those girls must be like 12-14 and aren't anywhere near sexually mature yet. It's not even sexy and she has this incredibly annoying "I'm better than you" expression that reminds me of those mean girls in 7th grade. I don't think ANYONE watches that and thinks "omg she looks good!" The expression of vanity can be sexy ('Pussycat Dolls - Buttons' comes to mind) but only because in those the women involved are actually women, they're done in a classy, non-degrading way and implies they have more to them than their looks. But this girl isn't even very attractive and the only message I see is this immature "I'm so hot and you're so jealous, and men are mad they can't fuck me yet because I'm too young, haha" so overall there's nothing good about it. Ugh I hope there aren't too many young girls today stupid enough to be influenced by that mindset.

Brock's Dub makes her sound a lot better:

I just looked up the real song to that and honestly thought I had accidentally come across another parody. I thought it was a parody the entire way through..... but it turned out to be........ the real song.... what lol

I wish people understood that terrorist don't "hate our freedom." They have some pretty legitimate reasons to hate us. We're pretty darn awful.

*sigh*

It's frightening when an adult, once a close friend, will lie to each my face and try to tell me how things are.

I'm eyeing over this scholarship for $10,000. Anything with that large sum of cash, especially if it's a draw a greeting card contest, some simple drawing of a stick figure with a tu tu dress ends up winning. I'm going over the guidelines in what they want, but I absolutely have no starting point. I've been putting it off because of other things, and other scholarships I was signing up for, and the deadline is next year January. The $10,000 is just echoing, "Come to meeeeeeeee."

It's not that I'm greedy, I just want to pay as less debt as any other person trying to get a degree. But I can't help but think that if I go all out, like ALL out, not rushing a single part of the drawing, that it would just end up being a waste of time I could've focused on other scholarships with less competition, but less cash. I always hate these types of contests, because the winners end up being some dumb ass kid saying, " I want to save t3h world from evil villains."

What's WORSE is that the companies that do this kind of thing already have a preset image of what they want in a drawing, which makes me want to really attempt to lucid dream more to see a likely medium I could start with, because like any other desperate fuck, I REALLY want that scholarship. But at the same time, I have to make sure I pass this semester, otherwise I'll just have $10,000 for myself.

You can only survive for so long with $10,000. Sure I could pay off my college debt if I failed and dropped out, but I can't do that. Ugh. And tulpaforging, whenever I do it for 30 minutes to 1 hour, I end up passing out and waking up at a random time. Like last night, I woke up at 3 AM, like WTF, I'm not supposed to be up and energized this late! Now it'll take a while to get a decent sleeping schedule....as if I ever had one in the first place.

And also going to study for an exam with an indecisive professor. I don't care how hard the exam is, just PLEASE be clear and concise on important concepts to study for. You don't say, "This is less important, and these should be your Panic Attack Study for."

Especially with her, I swear she has a two-faced ego when she plans out these exams. She's so nice when going over notes, but completely different like night and day for exams. Like really, it's one thing to have a professor who tests you over small details that you would ignore when ready, but it's another thing when the professor isn't so sure what's going to be on the exam.

And with math, the professor has burden of having to be perfect, because if she tells us the wrong formula, and tells us to go with that, when the book says something else, but she has the idea that her way is right, it's just....shoot me now please.

I'm going to follow the book, since I'm going to go against everything these professors tell the class...I just hope that when I spend hours for this exam, along with trying to remember that I'm a human being and having to take care of other things that aren't just academics, that it doesn't go to waste. Every time I take the exam with this lady, I feel like shit. The formulas mastered...no problem...but if I can't even derive from it from concepts she didn't get to cover in class, what's the damn point?

Shit, fresh and right out of the oven professors are horrible.

Now to attend this stupid History discussion.

I wanna move to Australia so bad omfg. Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane or Canberra please

Just found out my boyfriend's schedule at the cement plant is 12-hour days, 7 days a week, for the rest of November. Only one day off for him: Thanksgiving Day. And guess who's working Thanksgiving day: Me.

The upside will be the OT of course. This better mean we get to go to Red River in February and go toboganning!

I need to do some binge eating. I'm underweight due to an inherited medical condition and my doctor says that I need to consume around 2500-3000 calories a day for at least a couple of months, accompanied by regular exercise, to reach the average BMI.

No drunk "I love you guys" received from Dianeva today, we're clearly being neglected

Well there's this girl who I thought I would become her boyfriend but I guess I was wrong. She told me today that she had a boyfriend. And I felt like a fool. Deep down else where there is some chick who is denying me from whatever simply because I don't meet her standards. I really wish that was the case. Instead of saying "hey what's up" and not hearing a single reply from them days later.....sounds like it has happened in another form.

If life exists before birth, I wonder if we make wagers that we won't kill ourselves...

The girl I was fucking started fucking someone else this week. This is my least favorite feeling.
