My boyfriend had a really violent seizure and he was hospitalized... thankfully, he was discharged recently. But, he's still in a lot of pain and i feel really bad for not being there with him...

If you have a good reason for not being able to visit him,  then you shouldn't feel bad.  The most important thing is that you know he's okay.

I could, if my parents would let me. They dont exactly approve of our relationship... not because he's a guy, but because he's a bit... older. He's 22, and I'm 16...

TODAY WAS **censor** TUBULAR.

Working from 8:00 to 1:30 (after midnight) as a security guard at a medium-popular "international" open-air event for trucks with 33°C temperature and cloudless sky just rocks.

Tl;Dr: Some people are jerks, thinking that security is responsible for organisation staff's mess and unavailability.

First thing to point out: we are 3rd party company.
Second: I was assigned to west technical gate. Me and my colleague were responsible for letting in only technical staff's and cleared vehicles plus we normally let in people on foot with already bought tickets.
Third: there are only two types of documents we accepted: tickets (everyone, with no exceptions, multiple clearance levels) and car passes (permanent or one-hour).

Multiple times, there were people coming to us without the documents. Most of them had no problems going along with our instructions, but some others tried to be nice or to start a argument, just to get through "quicker". Arguing about them not having clearance usually took them more time than going back to the ticket office. They generally blamed us for it. "How do you don't know that we are allowed?" and such or for not informing them about the need of documents.
One of them even thought that we are making jokes of him and threatened us by recording the conversation with them and reporting it to the police. Cops laughed him off.

Big part of exhibitors kept using hooters, most of the time during evening. People could have lose hearing - that loud it was. Event rules prohibited that. After some time I decided to go on a patrol, explaining to people to stop. Most of those say they didn't saw the rules, let alone read.
That also caused a fight between the exhibitors (no. 1 reason of cops arrival). After the cops' arrival and interrogation of everyone involved, they said that they reported everything and haven't done shit. Why? Because within state law this event is not classed as mass event, so everything has to be done by staff (even we, security, can't do much). And what staff did? NOTHING, because they don't know what to do with them.

THIS IS A MESS.

I hate Xbox. I finally set it back up to play some good exclusives I hadn't in a while (Halo, Halo, etc.) and the FPS is so slow I can barely play. Didn't realize how much difference it made until I had to go back. I also can't load up large maps or campaign missions because it "Failed to load content". It's vanilla content, that shouldn't have any problems! The thing crashes when I navigate menus too fast, and the voice feature is so broken I couldn't even say good night to Grey because we wasted so much time trying to make the stupid things work.

The whole me hurts so much and my vision keeps going from fine to blurry all the time. I'm all out of things to eat and would have to try and drag myself over to the store, but I don't feel like I'd make it. So the other option is to order a pizza and have it delivered here.
Thing is that I could eat for a week for the same price as one pizza, even with my coke addiction taken into account. I really wouldn't be able to afford this so I feel awful for even considering it.

Screw the warranty and open the casing. It might be full of dust.
