Rants: Everyday Venting

[MrRazot]

And what make is it?
does it have any electronics?

Ok so right now I've been contracted to do a journalism piece (seriously xD morons. Contracting me of all people-) Now admittedly I aint getting paid for it. And they want it to be some serious work- a minimum of eleven pages for the online edition and a single page for their printed ed. with room for their illustrations.
Perhaps I should explain- the college I'm trying to get into has a monthly publication. A friend of mine volunteers at it- overheard one of the guys mention that they were looking for a new subculture piece from somebody new, to broaden their base or some nonsense.
This friend of mine let loose that I was a furry.
So I got a call (unbeknownst to me) and offered the piece. Well yippee ki yay, right? Wrong. See they know what furries are. Dont care too much either- what they want is an interaction piece between furries and bronies.
So now, I, a non-brony and obligated to immerse myself into and observe the brony subculture. -_-
I have until August fifth, and they want me to be excellent at it.
Myeh.
Ah well. Maybe this is less negative than "myeh".
Either way it gives me an excuse to read some twisted fanfics and listen to more mind-clearing black metal than ever before.
Because remember kiddies-a soul lacking bile innundated with love and compassion, well, that leads to cupcakes.
I know...

I'm not allowed to go on my lawn for a week because we got new sod

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

32" acoustic, in near-mint condition, no scratches or dents and amazing sound. Comes with a capo that has never been used and two picks. But now all these people are being morons...I'm not giving it up for less than 85 dollars, but now everyone's on my case saying "Can I get sixty for it?" "Are you willing to bargain?" Ugh. Luckily, I might have found one person willing to pay full price, but I pissed someone else off because I told them I found someone else and I am going to sell it to the other person instead. Now he's trying to convince me I originally posted it for 85 and not 100, which is total BS because he messaged me and said "What's the lowest you're willing to go?"

A bit of advice... Never tell people how low you are willing to go. Let them (or tell them if they ask what your lowest price is) make an offer and you can decide if it's within what you want for it. Like the people who are asking if you'd take 60 (which is stupid to ask if you'll take almost half of what you originally posted it for), they're making an offer, even though they're bad offers.



This rainy weather is making me lazy and that's not good, even though I like rainy weather.

I feel like all of my art sucks lately. All of it. I'm so mad at myself I could spit bullets. Instead I just keep drawing crappy pictures over and over and over again.

[Count of Cutesy]

I feel like my Hypochondria is coming back.

I have broken my mouse some how... overnight... when I wasn't using it

[MrRazot]

I feel empty...

Several things are bugging me, currently. Nothing really bad, but still annoying. ._.

For one, my Xbox is **censor** over. It started freezing every ten minutes, in the middle of playing GTA with Shuishe and our friend Mark; I thought it was just an issue with GTA, because it hadn't happened at all with Skyrim or Halo: Reach; but oh no, it was the system itself experiencing a breakdown. And it now has the red ring, legitimately. Well, at least it's an excuse to get a new Xbox; I have one of the original models.

Second thing, Shuishe's father. I've never met the guy, but from what I do know about him, he's irritating. Shuishe describes him just like how I would describe my Grandfather. Bigoted, assuming, cantankerous and **censor** "holier-than-thou." He's also a labor addicted mule (considering how stubborn he is about it), according to Shuishe. He works dawn 'till dusk, doing things of no importance, most often being heavy labor, and dragging his family out to work just to work them. Not once have I really heard him make an effort to gather the whole family to enjoy each other, in fact, he apparently argues with the family on a daily basis. I can understand that, maybe, he likes to work. No problem, but he acts like everyone has to enjoy working, and if they don't something's wrong. He will drag Shuishe out to work on projects that serve next to no legitimate purpose but to occupy him for hours on end, all day sometimes, all other plans for fun be damned. Oh, and if Shuishe says she doesn't want to work, even one day when she's been working every day for a month, he gets angry with her and takes away her electronics and sketchbooks. ._. So she's afraid to stand up to him when she doesn't want to go out and work. I cannot put any real dislike on the guy, but I can air grievance in the fact that he constantly drags her to do shit she hates doing.

2 things:


1) Had to quit my job at Goodwill as a donation door attendant because it was too hectic.


2) I'm taking a driver's ed course and I'm terrified of taking the driving test next week because I'm afraid I'll get distracted and end up splattering a little kid all over the pavement.

[Bigieu]

One of those depressing days where I can't get my focus off of how much of the world thinks it's all about them and their personal gain, no matter what the cost and no matter what issues they turn a blind eye to.

I'm taking a driver's ed course and I'm terrified of taking the driving test next week because I'm afraid I'll get distracted and end up splattering a little kid all over the pavement.

The test is sooooo easy. Just remember the most basic rules of driving and you'll do fine. Stop at reds behind the line, check the mirrors/blindspots a lot, keep a distance from whatever's in front of you, don't speed, two hands on the wheel, pedestrians get right of way and so does oncoming traffic. Remember that and you got a license.


Good luck, man.




...and I actually had a pretty good day today.

[anoni]

  Today's been bad, really bad. I woke up with a really bad stomach pain, I get these pains like once (sometimes twice) a year and they are the worst. Honestly, I couldn't even move, the pain was so intense, all I could do was curl up in bed sobbing. My mum was around, she was staying for a bit and gave me some medication that was prescribed to the doctor last time this happened and now I feel a bit better, but the pain is still there just much more tolerable. But the problem doesn't stop there, my mum and the guy that's been living with us Phil, have gone to Adelaide for the entire long weekend, so if this medication wears off or something or I get sick again, I can't rely on them, they are in a different city. Then my dad comes over, to check up on me, I was looking forward to seeing prometheus with my dad, we used to watch a movie every other day, but we stopped that, so I was hoping we could start again. I was wrong, because he booked the tickets without me, he booked a ticket for him and a ticket for his girlfriend and didn't book a ticket for me because I was sick. He could of waited a day, he has nothing on tomorrow, he could of waited until tomorrow. The tone he used when I asked him why I did that was so, hesitant it's almost as if he didn't want me to go... I told him to book me a seat if there was any seats near him, even if I am sick I just want to see the movie with him, even if his girlfriend is there.

...I'm sick, alone and I feel disappointed

Wow man, that really blows. =( Its cool that you still have a good relationship with your dad from what it sounds like. I wish my dad wanted to spend time with me, NOT working or yelling about something stupid that gets me up in arms.


It sounds like your dad wanted to take his gf out on a date OR the gf wanted your dad to take her out. I'm not sure if whether or not she had something to do with your ticket not getting booked but in my experience (if she's evil, that's what happened, I'm like 80% sure), the girlfriend usually complains about third wheels, friends who tag along, and family coming along on events that she'd rather be at only with her boyfriend. If you miss the times you shared chillin with your dad, book time with him when his gf isn't around. Cuz she was prolly like "omg i wanna watch prometheus with you!" and your dad in his head is like "damn...I was supposed to see that with my boy..." but probably accepted the idea under pressure of her possibly getting mad.

I wouldn't be quick to get upset at your dad, just ask him when he's free to do something else that's equally as cool as Prometheus and tell him it's "Father and Son time...so there."

[anoni]

Well the good news is, I eventually did get to see the movie.
I convinced my dad and his GF to book me a seat.

Bad news is I somehow screwed up my back and now it really hurts
thanks for the advice though
