Rants: Everyday Venting

[Maine]

It erks me to no end when the media casually uses racist/sexist terms.
For instance, tonight's viewing included;


'Reverse racism' Because apparently, racism is only something white people to other ethnic groups. Are you serious?


"They basically acted like hetrosexual gay men." Enforcing that any man who chooses to take particular pride in his appearance, must be borderline gay. I mean, that doesn't even work vice-versa.


WHY YOU DO THIS?! STAHP.

[Alexei]

I started at university and now my parents are calling me a liar when I say I've only received a couple assignments. It is literally the 4th day (the first day was orientation so I didn't even have any classes) and they're saying I'm going to fail out because I'm not doing my work.


....Yeah, okay. 

[Midnight Madness]

The arrogance of so many "elders" is sickening. Acting as if their age has bestowed some godly power upon them. Bah. Just because someone is getting on in years and have "experienced so much" doesn't mean they know a blasted thing.

For example, closing windows on a hot day is met with. "I've been doing this for 35 years, it works better this way." Well whoop-de-freaking-doo. So, I'm going to be refuted simply because this is how you've done it for so long? That really is only a bolster to the idea, considering it's the only way things have been done. Try doing it differently, maybe things will go differently. That could go with anything.

Age ≠ knowledge

Knowledge is something you work for, you have to find it. Knowledge does not magically find you, you have to find it, you have to gather it. I'm sick and tired of being treated like someone who doesn't know anything just because I'm 19.

I don't like being sick! RAWR

It's bothering my that I  can't clear the 150+ messages on my FA because it's in read-only.
So much for only 48-hours of work >>

[Xionist]

My best friend I've known for the past 5 years can't seem to take a hint when I tell him I'm not interested in the military. He constantly berates me, telling me I'm stupid for wanting to do something as risky and dangerous as going to college. I've told him constantly that I didn't want the military, and no matter how much he tried to sugarcoat it I wasn't going to sign.

[Midnight Madness]

Xionist, I know how you feel. My Grandfather constantly does this, bugging me about going into the military when I have absolutely no desire to sign up. He passively tries to convince me all the time, and sometimes comes right up to me and says I am doing no good for myself by not joining. Can't even sign up, doctors told me I have a specific form of asthma that prevents me from excessive aerobic work/exercise, but he insists, saying "Oh you don't have that, the doctors don't know anything."

It's real shit when someone refuses to accept your differences and disagreements. :I

[Nobi]

There are two people sitting across the table from me in the library, and they won't shut the hell up! I feel like breaking the guy's computer in half over the girl's face and jamming her sunglasses down his throat, and then tossing them both out the second-story window!!

[Georgisaur]

I'm so <censored> fed up of depression. I just want to be happy again.

[Nobi]

Some of my friends seem to think that I can just call in to work or ask for a day off anytime I want, with zero notice. I've told them time and time again that I need to ask for days off at least two weeks in advance, and then get approved for it. But they keep inviting me to do things just a few days into the future; days on which they SHOULD know I'm working.

Post Merge: September 25, 2013, 11:43:39 PMSo for my creative writing class, I'm to write a short scenario in which two characters want different thing, creating a conflict. The problem is, I find it much more enjoyable to write about furs than humans... Of course, if I do that, my professor probably isn't gonna know what the hell I'm talking about.

[The Past]

I don't see how writing about anthropomorphic characters will be an issue, Nobi. It's done all the time, long before the existence of the fandom. Heck, when I was in Creative Writing, most of my stories had anthropomorphic animals in them, and my teacher loved em.

My step-mum's baby has been being sooooo annoying since it was born. The worst part is I don't have my own house or anything, so I can't really run away. I can't even imagine how it must be for her and my dad...

[ZaraRa]

nobi has so much to rant about poor darlin' :C

I wanted to adopt a cat from the shelter, so I kept on asking my dad. I approached the matter in a  responsible way but he was having none of it and kept on storming off. Charlie Boy has gone to a new home (lucky for Charlie, wish that beautiful boy lots of luck ) but I'm still really mad at my dad because he wouldn't even discuss it.

I'm assured to get Pokemon Y next week, but I don't have the money for a 3DS/2DS. I might be able to get it, but I have to wait until at least the seventeenth. Likewise, everybody wants me to play GTA V with them, but I don't have my Xbox, a TV/Monitor to use and it'll be pretty pricey to ship the Xbox.
