Rants: Everyday Venting

[Dax Declan]

I feel so utterly useless and pathetic

My dad can't decide on what to do about my hard drive. He's afraid to spend so much money on a SSD, doesn't trust ordering even a basic hard drive online, and now he wants to get an IDE to SATA adapter so I can use my old computer's hard drive and not take the risk. The thing is, that's an old hard drive. Chances are it will crap out at any moment, plus it has even less space than a friggen new SSD would, less than 100GB if I remember correctly.

"Well, hard drives last for about 5 years"-- Sure, but I friggen used that drive for over five years before I got my current PC in 2011! It already reached old age and ran like a snail before I stopped using it, I don't want to boot it up again, manage to install Windows 10 and move over my backups, then find it corrupted or failing a week later. Screw that.
Also, did I mention less than 100GB? Yeah.

I even said I'll pay for a new drive entirely, but he's still so hesitant. I want my poor PC back, damn it!

I'm using an old X.P. laptop right now. Really slow, but surprisingly still works okay for simple stuff like forums, Skype, and writing. At least I got that.

Youtube is about where it draws the line, apparently. Oh well, I got my tablet for that. Thank you, first world!

Sorta awkward when the person you like likes your best friend

[★Amethyst★]

Was wearing some new shoes that hadn't been worn in yet so I slipped while running down some stairs and banged my elbow really hard on the funny bone. It hurt a lot and left a pretty good sized bruise.

Also have a bit of awkwardness with a friend who I really like hanging out with, and he kind of likes me but I'm not into him romantically at all. He knows I'm dating someone right now and I make sure not to lead him on at all but it's still a little awkward when I feel like I'm being a friend-zoner

My air conditioning broke on the hottest/most humid day of the year.... I wanna die because of this heat. It's the middle of the night and it's still just as hot

I feel ya'. I've had an air conditioning outage that lasted a few years. I also hate trying to get to sleep when you feel like you're sweating. It stinks >_<

[Ræfóa Aldrnari]

I have no air conditioning (I guess it's a more common thing to have in America), so when I try to sleep, it usually gets way too hot for me to be able to. Last night, it took me about three hours, just to fall asleep, mainly because of the heat. I have my window open a tiny bit, but I don't want to open it any wider, since bugs n' shizz flies in all the time, when I have it wider open.

I've had five years of experience in playing a Brass instrument, and I still don't know how to play that damn enigmatic black and white keyboard NIGHTMARE.






Makes me feel stupid, that I have one and I can't play it, But hey, atleast I can enjoy the music produced by other people

[full rant removed] Long story short, this hard drive BS only further delayed my ability to fix personal issues.

New rant: I can't focus on writing. My mind keeps going back to my stresses and stupid daydreams.

I'm feeling awfully torn right now.


Mom recently called and asked me if I'd like to join her on a road trip to Lapland, like the ones we used to do ages ago before everything really went to hell.
It's been ~8 years since the last time I went there, and I'd really really love to go.


But on the other hand, unlike last time, there's possibly going to be several drivers rather than only mom, which makes me worried she's just going to use that to her advantage and hit the bottle. If things go to shit when I'm several hundred kilometers away from home, there'll be absolutely no way for me to get away from it.
And if her SO decides to join, they'll just bicker and argue about everything for the whole trip, which is -also- something I'd rather not have to watch.


I think I could really use the change of scenery, and the landscape is usually really beautiful at around this time of the year, but knowing how things usually tend to end, I don't know if it's worth it.

I will just say, I have seen you visit your mother multiple times while I have been on this forum, And each and every time (which I know of) you have expressed regret afterwards, and wished you had not gone.

Perhaps that's because I mostly watch the rants threads though, so you know, I kinda only see the stuff people say that is negative :L

For as long as she's not drinking, she's usually ok to be around. The main issue is just that she seem to always start drinking when there's an opportunity for it, and that's where things go bad. That particular scenario would be impossible if she's the only driver. If her SO and/or my brother joins, there'd potentially be three drivers, which could be an issue.

But then again, I am jumping for the worst case scenarios and talking about something she actually cares about more than drinking. It's just as likely that it'd be smooth sailing all the way.
Nothing bad ever happened during the trips we went on in the past, and that's pretty much the only reason I'm even slightly hopeful this could actually work.
But then again, that was many years ago.

Or then I could just wait a few more years and go on my own trip. With Monopoly. And Moomins.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Cheza! There you are! I've missed you.

[Nrein]

My roommates finally moved out, but they've kept a bunch of stuff left over, including but not limited to a bunch of trash, toiletries, moldy dishes, and furniture.
I offered to Move their stuff to the spare room so I can get my living room back, but I got told no because that would make it "harder."
So now I have to wait until they decide it's an acceptable time to get their stuff out for me to clean the rest of the house and make it nice again.

Not happy.

My cat broke out of My back window while my dogs were out and when I went outside to let them in i found her laying there panting and growling. The dogs harassed her and bit the hell out of her legs. She was covered in dirt and really scared. I managed to wrap her up in a sleeping bag and get in the bathroom. She growled for a long time out of pure fear. I tried cleaning her up but she's so sensitive I can barely touch her. I kinda rinsed her off but she's still kinda dirty on her paws. Her legs look beat to all hell her stomach is scratched up. She's alert now and no longer growling. Now she's just looking at me and making sad noises of I touch her owie spots. She will not drink water for some reason. She keeps trying to move. And I don't know what to do. Im so scared
