Real Life Rantings! Argh! [Archive] - Page 6

Rant>>>So last week I was in France for a retreat in Bourgogne (for more details, see the outcast-chat thingy, I'm trying not to repeat again and again that German is a great language and that German people are incredible). Anyway, we arrived in this beautiful village, where there were already about five hundred Germans and German-speaking Swiss people and two hundred others, basically to get to know new people by means of, among other things,discussions about religion. The girls I was with decided that they didn't like German people, (especially because they spoke German, I think), and as they were no French-speaking people of our age, we ended up spending almost all the time together instead of meeting anyone. I finally decided that I didn't care to be the bad girl who leaves the boat and I went to sing with the others. And I must say, it was a fantastic place, the Germans even made me think that maybe I'm not so asocial after all? (After that the nice girls of my school who had come me told me that I had spoilt the atmosphere, that I hadn't even tried to fit -which was true-...) On the way back, the girls in the back of the minibus (ahem, you understand me) spent all their time (eight hours) watching one by one the pics in Jeune et Jolie and other silly magazines as the French can do sometimes -and worst of all, commenting them!!! Eight hours in the front seat hearing silly girls speaking about the new make-up advertisements and the new boyfriends of people I didn't even know (mmm, real tv, not for me). It was driving me mad. I was listening to Evanescence in the same time, but apparently it wasn't loud enough, because I still could hear them, so I started listening to the Götterdammerung and thinking of various ways to kill seven sixteen-year-old girls. Argh.

Big un-rant: I HAVE A NEW MATTRESS! I have this really bad habit of bouncing around on my bed- I don't even really notice I'm doing it, but when I'm reading and I get interested or excited, I bounce. My sisters find this hysterical and like to imitate the sound effects ('Woosh! Whump-Woosh!'). I was really bad about it when I was younger, I can kind of control myself now. But this is death to mattresses, and my boxsprings, when we took them out of storage, were a sorry sight. And my bed kept collapsing on me (the metal frame sort of has this bend in it and...), so I shored it up with bricks. Not the most comfortable bed in the world, but I made it and by heck I was lying in it. But there was a mattress sale today, so we went and got me a new mattress and I LOVE it. It has a pillow top. It's nice and firm, but cushy and snuggly at the same time. I've been practically wallowing on it all day.

Oh, Froggum, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you and your family are doing all right.

hey yay_gollum u might member me i used to be mrselijahwood we had the sam/gollum = evil? debate. yeah ur right high school does suck! especially mine!

YayGollum

10-16-2003, 02:10 AM

I have had about twenty-seven thousand debates like that, MaidenofLorien person. Please forgive me for not remembering it. *hides* oh well. Doobedoobedoo... I was talking about high school sucking an unspecified something? I missed it. oh well. Sure thing. I'll agree with you. Why not? Any evil thing that forces you to sit in rooms with boring people who look down on Outcasts can't be the most pleasant experience of all time.

BranMuffin

10-17-2003, 02:31 AM

Rant-> I haven't had time to post lately...
I'm sorry Froggum, I wish that no one ever had to deal with death but it happens. I hope you and your family feels better.

Niirewen

10-20-2003, 02:35 AM

my rant-- Lately I almost never have time to post either! I'm so busy during the cross-country season (yeah.. I run cross-country for my school..). I'm so tired and my free time doesn't exist. My life is- wake up way too early, go to school (yuck), go to practice, come home and take a shower and eat dinner, do my mounds of homework, and go to sleep way too late.. I'm so stressed out! But at the same time I know I'll miss my team when the season's over.. :rolleyes: Sorry, I know it isn't fun hearing me complain.. but I just had to rant about that.

Froggum- I'm also very sorry, death is a very difficult thing to have to deal with. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Niirewen

10-20-2003, 02:38 AM

un-rant >> (Sorry, I forgot to include this in my last post:o) Yesterday my friends and family threw me a surprise party:). I've never had one before, and it was really fun. I just had to share:D.

Rhiannon

10-20-2003, 03:06 AM

Rant: I DON'T LIKE TO BABYSIT!!!!!! Actually I do, but not three days in a row, and not on fall break, and not when I'm not getting enough sleep, and not the Sunday before I volunteered to throw a Movie Party for a bunch of kids (I was dehydrated). But the family was desperate and things are kind of rough for them right now so I did it anyway.

Niirewen, hurray for surprise parties!

Niirewen

10-20-2003, 03:25 AM

Aw, I'm sorry, Rhi:( If it makes you feel any better, the other night I had to baby-sit 5 wild kids all by myself for 6 hours while all my friends were at the homecoming dance. One of them had a nose bleed, and two of them somehow rammed their faces into the wall. It wasn't fun. But I hope it goes better for you.

Rhiannon

10-20-2003, 07:04 AM

Ack! Talk about babysitting horror stories! Bleh, poor Niri!

Kailita

10-21-2003, 03:30 AM

I hear you, Niri, I hear you...and I feel your pain. My life is so schedule/school-run lately, and I hate it! There is more to life than school, I'd like to let the administration know! :mad: Grrr. And really, if I'm not going into an occupation centered around math, what good is calculus going to do me in real life? Or trig or advanced physics for that matter? All the hardest subjects are the ones we probably won't even need, and that bugs me. Sometimes I think I will be sleep-deprived for the rest of my life...blegh...

Babysitting...I'm not even going there. :rolleyes:

Rant ---> The poetry club at my school is annoying me. The few people who run it are literary snobs, and there are a lot of perfectly good poems coming in that they scoff and laugh at, and it's really starting to get on my nerves. I mean, meter and stuff is important, but it's the feeling behind the poem and the imagery to get it across that really matters. Urgh. Today a really good poem relating Pride and Prejudice to real life came through...and even the superior snobs had to admit that it was really well-written...but they ended up not liking it, because they didn't understand it, due to the fact that none of them had read Pride and Prejudice. ??! Urgh...*stews*...

Rhiannon

10-21-2003, 04:18 AM

EVIL! Evil evil evil snobby people! Augh! Kaia needs to circumvent the system and start an outcasty poetry group! Or something!

LET'S THROW ROCKS AT THEM! WAAAAAAHOOOOOOO!

RANT: PEOPLE WHO NEED ROCKS THROWN AT THEM KEEP FALLING DOWN AT MY FEET PRACTICALLY BEGGING THROW ROCKS AT ME! THROW ROCKS AT ME! Bloody Beren calling Eowyn bloody immoral! *loads catapault*

Kailita

10-22-2003, 07:15 AM

Yes! Rocks, rocks! *Mob mentality*

Immoral...? Eowyn...?! What the...? :confused: What new devilry is this?

Turin

10-22-2003, 06:03 PM

Rant: I got caught private chatting during my Geography class, it was super imbarassing and the teacher got really mad at me so I just pretended to get kicked out and never came back. *Hides face in shame*.

Rhiannon

10-22-2003, 07:46 PM

Immoral...? Eowyn...?! What the...? What new devilry is this?

Exactly. Unfortunately, I can't kill him because Lomie is kind of attached to him. But I CAN throw rocks at him. ROCKS! ROCKS! AND MORE ROCKS!

At least now I've finally started on my Eowyn Opus. I've been thinking I should gather up all the stuff I've written on her over the past year and sort it out and put it all together.....

I didn't get everything I'd written, just the good stuff, and I still ended up with 8 pages. Of size 10 font. And then- and THEN- I had to divide in to 'general character analysis', 'Eowyn/Aragorn/Faramir love triangle and why people who think Eowyn should be with Aragorn need to be shot', and 'Why Eowyn was right to join the Riders'.

And then I wrote outlines. OUTLINES! Embracing the five paragraph essay format! Augh! I hate the five paragraph essay! I've always hated it! Must rebel! Must rebel!

...this is what English Comp 1 does to people.

So when I'm done I'll have three essays on Eowyn, which I will then meld in to one big cohesive monster essay. And then....What the heck am I going to do with it?

Rant ---> The big deal that people make out of insignificant things is evil.

Hm. Maybe I just have a strange view of the insignificant? Whoops.

Niirewen

10-24-2003, 03:19 AM

I agree with you, Yay! I hate when people have to make a big deal about everything. I have a friend who always does that, and it drives me crazy!

Turin

10-24-2003, 03:17 PM

I always did make a big deal about small things, I guess it runs in the family:rolleyes:.

Can I just do a bunch of hissing and spitting in general and come up with reasons later? It's 1:11 a.m. and no part of me is coherent right now. All I know is that I've had a FLARKING bad week and I'm hungry.

*proceeds to hiss and spit*

*hiss hiss spit spit* *spit spit hiss hiss* *HISS spit SPIT hiss* *HIIIIIISSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSPIIIIIIIIIIIIT* *HISSSPITHISSSPITHISSSPITSPITSPITSPITHISSHISSHISSH ISSHISSSPITSPITSPITSPITHISSSPITHISSSPIT*

BWA BLARG BLARFIN BLAGR BLOOF!!!!

BWEE!

*deep breath*

Ok.

AP European history is spawn of the devil. I'm a sophmore and it's a senior class. A senior class. No one in my class seems to understand the significance of that, because the only person who is a senior and not a sophmore in there is a singular person whom I believe is called David.

IB is spawn of the devil. IB being International Baccelaureate. Why oh freakin why did I get myself into that one? I'm in that blasted AP Euro class because of that stupid IB. *mutter mutter curse curse KICK*

At least I did well on my monologue.

*collapes into keyboard*

Arebeth

10-25-2003, 10:06 AM

Maybe those insignificant things are not so insignificant for them?

Turin

10-25-2003, 05:56 PM

Heh, my sister used to be in IB, I don't know why anyone would want to be:confused:. Maybe I'm just too lazy:rolleyes:.

Rant: Its saturday, that means work around the house:mad:.

Dragon

10-25-2003, 08:47 PM

*incoherent gurgles taht could, if thought about long enough, be called words*

RANT!!!--->it's saturday. I don't get 2 c any of my ppls this weekend. one friend is sick, another has to work, another is grounded. another is unavailable.another is grounded. stizzle is at another friends house bc his ppl r camping, and I didn't get 2 c him this week, and I wont c him til next weekend. I feel so alone, and trapped within the house of my mother, alone, is not a good thing. blech.

unrant--> there is one upside to this. since I have nothing to do, my dad has suggested that we go to a store that is having a sale nad get me some pants I actually like (instead of the ones my mother buys for me and then tried to convince me that I picked them out:rolleyes: :eek: :eek: :eek: :rolleyes: :o ), and then, we're gonna go to wal-mart (~*giddy giggle*~) so I can get a new cd and some better headphones

Kailita

10-27-2003, 04:56 AM

My goodness, my goodness...

Rant ---> Evil homework keeping me away from the GOO! :mad: (I hear you about the AP Euro, HG...ugh...) AP Euro definitions and 2 sections to read to catch up to where I'm supposed to read, PLUS chemistry formulas (ugh), PLUS studying for the Algebra II midterm tomorrow! Aiieee...*dies*

Hope you got your pants, D. ;)

Another (Major) Rant ---> They're making the pep rallies mandatory. Do you hear me?? THEY'RE MAKING THE PEP RALLIES MANDATORY!!!!! And I'm just a little worked up about it. :o Ughhh. How could they? *Impersonates ASB* "Awww, nobody comes to our pep rallies, they're all too busy making good use of their time...boo hoo...*pout/sniff*...*maniacal look* Hey, here's an idea...WE'LL MAKE THEM GO BECAUSE WE'RE CRAZY AND EVIL LIKE THAT!" :mad::rolleyes:

Our first mandatory pep rally was Friday. It was torture. The horror...the confetti...the cheerleaders...gahhh. *Dies* How am I going to handle a whole year of this?

I will bring a book. I will. They can't stop me. They may be able to force me to go to the pep rally, but they can not make me take part in it. *Folds arms stubbornly* *Is immovably anti-social*

Arebeth

Congratulations for making the big 1000.

~*sends psychic support waves*~

ugh, thats terrible K!!!!

I got my brother to take me home instead of staying for the pep rallies, but since he killed his car....(UGH!!!:rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes: :mad: ) it was inevitable I tell you

just being in the same building as that kills me. it's awful.

I would say bring headphones, but my experience w/ pep rallies has proved that you probably wont b able 2 hear the music....

BRING EAR-MUFFS!!!!!!!

oh-my-goshnessisity!!!

K has hit the big 1-0!...0...0....:D :D :D

Rhiannon

10-28-2003, 01:15 AM

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! NOT THE PEP RALLIES! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!! EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL!

Rant: I keep making dumb mistakes and embarrassing myself and I'm tired all the time and I can't seem to accomplish anything and people keep getting mad at me and I keep getting mad at them and my neck hurts and my head hurts and my shoulders hurt and I want to curl up in a ball and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream and scream.

Dragon

10-28-2003, 02:02 AM

wow rhi.....
that was a little confusing and, if I get the word right, incoherent? hold on *checks* yes, that's the right word.

rhi, I have a few suggestions:
1)sleep, under fluffy blankets, and a fluffy bed too, if you can find one...
2) chocolate; hersheys, kit kats, whatever
3) ice cream, preferrably chocolate (see a trend here?)
4) hot chocolate, it's been getting alittle colder lately...

I have more, but now I'm on the phone and I'm really bad at phone-multi-tasking....

Turin

10-28-2003, 03:15 AM

Rant: I have nothing to do during the day when I'm mostly home alone and I can't call my friends cause most of them are in school and during that time noones on TTF and theres no new posts AARRRGHHHH! I'm considering going to public school next year and having to put up with insane homework.

Kailita

10-28-2003, 05:01 AM

Don't, Turin, don't. It's eeeeevil...

Heh...thanks for the support. You peoples are the only ones who understand me on this issue. Everyone at school (besides my own Outcasted group of friends) gets all more-school-spirited-than-thou :rolleyes: and say that we're being selfish for not enjoying the pep rallies like everyone else. Selfish?? :confused: *Mutters* Insane social people...*stocks up on ear muffs*

Rhi...sounds like you're having one of those days...or weeks. :( It will get better, I promise. But I know how that goes. Try sleeping...it will ease the physical pain. And then chocolate and a good book and some nice music might help the rest. ;) Cuddle up with your body pillow...

Major unrant ---> I have...at long last...finally...

REACHED THE BIG...

1-0!

My_Precious

10-28-2003, 11:10 PM

The lack of money is starting to get me.
I've a wedding to attend, which means that I need to:
1. buy a gift ($40-50)
2. buy a new skirt (I don't usually wear skirts, meaning I don't wear skirts at all, so therefore I don't have a lot of them, $15-30)
3. pay for the hotel (which should be unexpensive, as my friends and I plan on getting one room and splitting the bill)

Also, I have a phone bill to pay, I want to go and see the concert of "Near Miss" and "Much the Same", so I need the tickets, and I was going to get a haircut for my Birthday...
And, of course, as usual, my both jobs gave me less days to work than usual...
*Attempts to punch the wall* Ow!

Congrats on the 1000 posts, Kailita! When I get there you will probably have couple thousand more...;)

Kailita

10-28-2003, 11:57 PM

Thanks MP. :)

Agh, the age-old money rant. Urgh. I feel for you...:(

Rhiannon

10-29-2003, 01:21 AM

Rhi...sounds like you're having one of those days...or weeks. It will get better, I promise. But I know how that goes. Try sleeping...it will ease the physical pain. And then chocolate and a good book and some nice music might help the rest. Cuddle up with your body pillow...

Two of those weeks, so far...I took a really really hot bath with the last of my bubble stuff, which was fun, but didn't relax me enough to sleep well...*sigh* Snuggling with Faramir is definitely in order. And I'm in the middle of a really good book.

But, BIG HUGE GIGANTIC UNRANT: I HAVE MY DRIVERS LICENs! WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Mom took me to the next town over to get it, and I got a nice instructer, and I didn't have to parallel park, and I passed. Yaaaaaaaaay! I can drive fine, I just can't take tests (I'm brilliant...I just can't take the SAT...). And I think men make me nervous, because I made mistakes when I drove with my dad instead of my mom, etc. Wheeeee!

Turin

10-29-2003, 05:49 PM

Unrant: I don't have a race this weekend, that means I can lay back and take it easy, get my bike tuned up and cleaned, and get my fork rebuilt. I might even be able to have some fun this weekend, though I will probably be going to a race, its close to home and I'm not participating so I can enjoy myself, though when I'm there I'll prabably be wishing that I'm racing (it kinda gets in your blood).

Kailita

10-29-2003, 09:05 PM

YAY, Rhi, that is awesome! :D I'm going to test to get my permit the day after Halloween (hopefully). *Shudder*. Some of those rules are so ridiculous..."You must park your car 18 inches away from the curb..." :confused: How are you supposed to know how far 18 inches is? Carry a tape measure in your cupholder? :o Oh well...I'll just do my best...

My_Precious

10-29-2003, 09:16 PM

That is funny, because I used to know how to parallel park before, but I never had the chance to practice, so I just look for the first parking spaces, where you don't have to actually back up into the spot. And I always end up parking too far away from the curb. Although unless you are going into the city, here you don't really see any parallel parking...
Which brings me to my next rant: Parking at my college! I actually try to park farther away from the buildings (it has a plus side--I don't have to spend 30 minutes driving around waiting for the cars to back out), because so far 2 of my friends got into accidents here. Crazy people behind the wheel!

Turin

10-30-2003, 11:48 PM

Yet another unrant: I finally got one of my machetes fixed, I had broken the tip off and I finally got around to fixing it.

Rant: My stupid 'substitute' karate instuctor made us do 80 push ups for no reason at all, now I'm going to be sore for days. It wouldn't be so bad except my arms are growing so the muscles on my arms are stretching out and they haven't adjusted to it yet. I'm really anoyed cause I used to be able to do 80 easily:mad:.

Dragon

11-01-2003, 10:37 PM

the best way to get rid of the sore-ness is actually to work out sum more .... weird, huh?

all I really know about driving is that I always place first in arcade games:rolleyes: :D

Turin

11-03-2003, 03:57 PM

I'm not really sore anymore, my back still hurts though. I've got to go again today:mad:.

11-03-2003, 06:51 PM

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! I scraped the side of my mom's car! Oh God. Please kill me. *beats head on desk* I'm at the college and I called home already...if I hadn't I wouldn't have been able to live through economics. Oh God Oh God Oh God <note: this is a prayer, not blasphemy>

Froggum

11-03-2003, 09:11 PM

Don't feel so bad, Rhi. I'm 19 and still son't have my licensce. Every time I try to drive my financee's car its disaster. One time we were driving around in the cemetary and I tried to brake and hit the wrong pedal and ran over somebody's headstone. And I put a big scratch on the bumper and rubber marks on the stone! I think we gave the caretaker some lame story about swerving to avoid hitting a squirrel. I don't remember it so well, I was busy trying to repress. My familiy still doesn't know about that little event.

11-03-2003, 09:59 PM

OK . My girlfriend dumped me today . I'm not particularly bothered as i never really saw why i said yes to her anyway as shes not the hottest i know.. one of but not the hottest . So anyway the real bad tihng im ranting about is the fact that im in trouble with a gang of thugs intent on killing me cus i was drunk and made fun of the leader who calls himself " angel " so i made fun of his name saying it was feminine and he was like " ice that mutha ****er cha mone word " so yeh . Now im hiding .

Rhiannon

11-04-2003, 01:14 AM

Heh, Froggum! Sounds awful.

I'm sorry about you're girlfriend, mr. underhill...but being in hiding is fun. You can come live in my hole with me, I've been tunneling and expanding....

And this afternoon the sink exploded, but that wasn't my fault.

2 every guy that finds me attractive is either
a) has a girlfriend
b) is a perv
c) is about seven years my senior

and of the latter, there arent many to begin w/
my mother (teeheehee) says its bc "im aggressiv and guys are intimidated" but to me that equates to the same as "you're not fat, you're just big boned"

hakuna matata anyway.............

Do they allow you to go out w/your friends? I mean, there is "friend" in girlfriend...;)

Turin

Yes but they have to know ALL the information before I go out with my friends, I think I'll ask her out anyway and work it out with my parents later;).

Go on a double date, that way it's gonna be more "friends going out" looking. Good luck, btw.

my friends have invaded the forum as some of you might have noticed. gurgle. it was for a good reason, but there were other ways it could have been handled. I say poo! grr. I'm feeling better about it now, but it made me really angry... this is my little world to get away from the big world, and they kinda brought the big world here. well, we fixed waht was wrong (if anyone wants to delve into my life, and that of my friends, check out "a little perspective could help") but grr. I haven't had much time to get one lately, the ppls at my school have brought out the humongous 6 WEEKS! MUST GIVE 200 POUNDS OF HOMEWORK EACH NIGHT! MUST OVERLOAD BRAINS OF YOUNG PPL!!! and yeah, that's not cool. it's uncool. not. cool.

wow froggum, you ran over a headstone? taht's bad.... baaaadddd..... *shakes head

shadow, it's not ur fault guys r stupid. y do u think I'm w/ stizzle? he's not a guy, he's more like a woman w/ a man-like body. I mean, he's more of a woman than I am. I need 2 find you a gay guy, so u can become really really good friends w/ him, and then convert him to heterosexuality. yeah. that would b cool. yeah... you need a gay guy.

turin, do u say not 2 ask bc u don't know, or bc you don't wanna talk bout it? bc, if u find out the reason, I can prolly give you some ways to persuade them ;)

okay, dragon, i appreciate the sentiment, but if i cant even get a heterosexual male to be interested ( except for those named, and they shouldnt count) how the heel would i ever be good enough to convert a homosexual? That takes serious sexiness, and apparently (considering previous post) thats not my strong point

Dragon

11-06-2003, 03:59 AM

well, c, the guys that are completely heterosexual are hugely, in general, idiots, jerks, and all sorts of other not good stuff (guys, remember, this is in general, and referring to boys our age) and dude? different ppl find different things sexy, so um, just gotta find sum1 interested....and....gay...

No its just that my paren't are like super christians, and they don't think you should date untill you are ready to get married:eek:, well atleast my mom's that way, I don't really what position my dad has on the subject.

Turin you are a little young to worry about that kind of stuff. Take it from me, enjoy your youth and don't worry about things that will come about later. If you still want to "date" then do what I did and do a casual type of dating with groups of people. Do not focus on only one person as that can lead to things you need not concern yourself about.....yet. As one of the few opposites of what D thinks about us, I would say to just be her friend and be there for her when she needs you. She won't forget that later on when it does come time to really date. Friend first, Girlfriend later. Plus you don't need the emotional, monetary, and psychological stress at your age. Enjoy being young it only comes once and you can't get it back(granted you could always be a kid at heart, like me).

Don't fret shadow, you'll find a guy some day.

*thinks D is a little harsh towards guys*

Oh please, Bran, don't recall it...agh, I'm still emotionally traumatized from all that drama...:rolleyes:

Anyway, yes, I have to agree with the older brother here. You speak with wisdom beyond your years, Bran. ;)

Cut the boys some slack, D. Yeah, a lot of them are oblivious and obnoxious at this age...but they'll grow out of it (hopefully ;)). And every now and then you come across some fun, decent ones...

Yo Turin, our parents sound identical, except I know where my dad stands.

I personally don't want to date, especially because of, as Bran puts it, the monetary stress :o

Turin

11-08-2003, 12:15 AM

Hmm, good advice, I haven't heard much of that lately:rolleyes:, well you have pretty much changed my mind, I'll probably forget about the whole thing in a couple days. Well back to ranting...

Unrant: I got the fork on my bike fixed and its awsome! It works better than when it was new and now it looks better too, just in time for the race. I know that probably doesn't mean anything to you guys but, hey, I'm happy.:D

11-08-2003, 03:42 AM

um...me=kidding?

there are different types of males: guys, boys, men, brothers, cousins, fathers (the ones w/ the family-typenames do not have to be part of ur family, just hafta act how that family member should act)

guys are the worst. I don't think I would classify anyone here as a guy, and none of my friends are guys, they are all brotheres, cousins, or men (in my mind anyways) so, um... yeah, pls don't take offense, I didn't mean it that way:( misunderstanding!!!

besides, most of my friends are/have been male ppls. I know this stuff *snorts* just kidding, gross generalization, I know

unrant--> I got done 2 assignments that I didn't expect to finish and turned them in and they were beautiful and they made me happy

rant & unrant--> I got a B in biology. B is pretty bad 4 me, but considering that halfway through the semester I had a 37.5 average, I guess I'm pretty lucky to even be passing. I didn't turn in about 3 papers, and so I got a lot of zeros

Continued from above post rant: Everyone is getting sick. My brother and sister got this annoying cough, coughed on me, and now I have it. My brother never gets sick, and he's had it for like three weeks, so who knows how long I'll have it? To make matters worse, I pulled a muscle so every time I cough I have pain shooting through my whole right side. :eek: :(

Turin

11-14-2003, 05:03 PM

Argh! I know, my brother never gets sick either, but when he does its not really bad, but then he gives it to me so now I feel really bad.

Rant -> Yesterday around 4 all of a sudden I started feeling like **** at work, runny nose, itchy watery eyes, sore throat. I told my boss I didn't feel too good, and she said I looked terrible and sent me home early. I thought I'd gotten some weird fast cold. Well, when I got home I started breaking out in hives and got itchy everywhere. Apparently I was allergic to something at work, but I can't think of what. All I did at work yesterday was vacuum, iron, and put costumes away, all stuff I've done before with no problem. We have two store kitties there, but I play with them all the time and I don't have any troubles, so I don't know what it was... but it kind of ticked me off, because last night after I got off work I was going to go to school and try to get my pile of homework done, which of course is all due this week, grr... so that means I get to run to school today after I go to the dentist *whine*

Rhiannon

11-14-2003, 08:31 PM

Augh, Tal! :( Nastyness. (on the other hand, a costume store with store kitties sounds like a heck of a cool place to work).

Unrant: Freeeeeeeeeeeeedom!!! Eish, this was an awful week. Work work work work work, aieee!!! But now it's the weekend, my tests are over, I have no homework, I have books and hot chocolate waiting for me at home! Yay!

Rant: I really really really want to see Love Actually, but the nearest place it's showing is an hour away and no one wants to take me or let me drive over by myself. Bah! Alan Rickman! Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson! In the same cast! The mere thought it almost too much stimulation to handle...

~*IMMUNE!!!*~

I haven't gotten sick yet, but lots of other ppl around me have.

unrant1--> T'IS FRIDAY!!!
I love the weekend. it's the weekend!!!!

rant--> I have science fair stuff to do this weekend, and I need my dad's help to do it, so I can't get it done until my dad has some free time, and I'm not doing anything else. ugh. this. isn't. cool. I didn't want to be in the science fair! it's just this stupid honors biology thing. it's icky.

semi-rant-yet-hilarious-thing--> I left my pants a belt at a friends house about 2 weeks ago. well, I haven't seen her lately, but I told her to give them to someone I knew I would see this weekend. I really need my belt bc almost all my pants are too big for me and kinda hang low if I don't have a belt, thank goodness I wear big shirts too. but anyways. this person she gave it to is now wearing my pants. taht, in itself is not so bad or weird. dbut this person is also bigger than me, and that was the smallest, tightest pair of pants I have (not that they were really tight at all, but I'm trying to get a point across) I'm sitting here, talking to my friend who originally had my pants and belt, about my pants and belt, and whether she gave it to the person, and I get a call. "um.... ur pants r kinda tight..." I'm standing here in shock. I say "that is traumatizing." it should be physically possible for this person to fit in my pants! my pants are too small for them! I think there's some sort of freaky dimensional space warp thing goin on in there, and that shouldn't be happening. pants are not meant to induce breakthroughs in modern technology! they are meant to be worn! by ppl that will logically fit in them! meaning me!

....I miss my pants...

Gandalf White

11-14-2003, 11:37 PM

LOL Dragon! :D I wish a quick resolution to that situation. ;) If I lost my only belt, I don't think going out in public would even be an option...:p

Unrant: I know it has been said, but IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!

Another Unrant: Happily, that dratted pulled muscle is feeling better already.

Aaaaaaaaugh! Stupid sister!

So tonight was homeschool teen thing, right? Cook out. Bleh, don't like cook outs. And it's cold. And it has the potential to be very very dull. And I'm TIRED because I had the Week from the Pit (the one with fire and brimstone).

And my sister wasn't going to go.

Well, then, I don't have to go either!

And then my sister is going to go.

Well, I still don't want to go!

Sister tells me I'm going.

Oh no I'm not!

So now Mom thinks I'm petty because I'm refusing to go just because my sister told me to- that was just the final straw, I really didn't want to go. Not even a little.

Dragon

11-16-2003, 03:13 AM

that's an odd thing for her to assume, are you and your sister fighting or something?

that's just....odd...

I need my belt! I've gone 2 weeks w/out it, and I hafta wear big shirts so no one can see me undywear. it's crazy

I get my belt back tomorrow!!!

rant--> my mother is making me very angry. she was very tired earlier, but she was on the computer and the phone, an dI was waiting for her to get off one or the other, I was talking to sum1 on the phone, but she needed it, so I had to get off, and then I needed to print something off the computer for school, but she was on so I couldn't do either. I asked her if, after she got off and I finished printing my thing out, she would take me to buy something, since she was tired, she said, "if I wake up a little, I'll take you." so, she got off the computer, I got on, realized that the printer was not working (GRR # 1) so I couldn't print my thing out. so, I got on the phone and called my person back (stizzle, big surprise), and we were talking, and abouta half hour later, my mom comes out of her room and starts yelling at me that I didn't wake her up, an dI tried to explain to her that it isn't my job to wake her up, but she said that she told me to. (GRR # 2) I do not believe this. first of all. if she had told me to wake her up, my brother would have heard it too, (he was next to me the whole time) and he would have been nagging me about it just for something to do. second of all, she was the tired one. I was the one with coherent thoughts. I think I would be the one to remember that correctly? grr. she tells me to get off the phone, we're leaving, I say ok, an dI'm about to get off the phone when I get a call on the other liine, it's my dad. at my grannies house. so I give it to my mom. she starts complaining about me not waking her up (GRR # 3) and that we'll be right over (GRR # 4) I'm pretty angry now, but I get off the phone, but b4 I do, I explain to stizzle y I'm mad bc he could tell I was. he doesn't like it very much when I'm mad, I think it makes him sad, and I didn't want to do that, but I didn't want to lie to him either. so, I get off the phone, we get in the car. I say to mom, "mom you said if you woke up then you would take me to the store" she says, "no I didn't, and you knew we were going to grannies all along." I said, no, no one told me we were going to grannies, and you did say taht you would take me to the store"

she tells that she doesn't want to hear anymore, or I would have to get out of the car and walk the rest of the way. (we only live 5 blocks from my grannies house)

I say " I'm sorry mom, but I don't like it when I'm on the phone, and you start griping at me for things that aren't my fault, then going back on your word."

she tells me to get out of the car. so I do. and I start walking back home.

she backs up the car, rolls down the window and yells "WRONG WAY COLLEEN!!!"

I stop.

I stare at her.

I get in the car. I figure, if I have to go where she wants me to, she better be the one taking me, cause I'm not going otherwise.

she doesn't say anything, so we drive the rest of the way to grannies. I don't say anything bc the thought just occurs to me that I really want to go to stizzles house tomorrow, and if I push it to much, then I wont get to go.

she just came in the room, and started talking to me about "how rude I was". I closed this window bc I dont' think this is something she really needs to see when I'm trying not to push it, and exspecially since she interrogates me about everything. as soon as she came in it was, "who are you talking to on the instant messenger?" "kelli."

I explain to her very slowly, using almost exactly the same words I did when we were in the car. she says over and over, "I know that you can't be happy all the time, but you need to find a better way of handling your anger. I don't appreciate your behavior."

I was talking. slowly. and quietly. how is that not a good control of my anger? what would she rather me do, shout? break things? I usually go out and hit the punching bag in the garage, but, alas, no time. I think I can handle my anger wonderfully when I need to, and I did. my mother is simply insane.

so, I am now at my grannies house, typing on my semi-uncles computer (explanation later) and I keep glancing at the door hoping she wont come in and interrogate me again bc I'm almost done w/ this post and I don't want to accidentally delete it if I panick when she comes in.

I do not like my mother. she is the center of 90% of my problems. I do not like her in the least. I do not love her. I am grateful to her for carrying me in her womb for nine months, but that is the most she will ever get out of me. she is hypocritical, volotile, annoying, interrogative, and all these other humongous degrading words I don't have the patience to think up right now.

(In a no-contact sport) #34 of theirs got so teed off that he took me out from behind with a crosscheck, giving me my soreness. Grrr, and the ref didn't see it!

Three rants and one unrant.

Rant #1 ---> I have been gone for...well, forever it seems. Maybe about a week...close enough. My computer has been sick...very very sick. Nine viruses at one time, to be exact. It's always been archaic...but it was doing crazy things...downloading things we haven't downloaded, going to sites unbidden, erasing files, converting things from English to that weird computer language...and constantly trying to get back on the Internet, even when we didn't tell it to...kind of like the ring trying to get to Sauron. I don't know how we managed to salvage it...only thanks to one of our close friends, who makes computers. So anyway, now it's fixed and has more memory and protection, along with a new mouse and keyboard. :)

Rant #2 ---> My favorite radio station...my radio station...has been cancelled out of the blue. It was such a great station, I really loved it. It was local, but not unpopular...lots of people listened to it...and it had great alternative rock. Stuff you couldn't hear anywhere else, along with all the normal stuff that people love to hear. And out of the blue, they just cancelled it, with no explanation and no warning. But wait, it gets worse. They replaced it...with KSON. For those of you who don't know...KSON is a country station. :mad::eek::mad: *Seethes*. So this is the last straw between me and the evil abomination formerly known as country music...this is war. Country is going down...:mad:

Rant #3 ---> I typed all of this up already about ten minutes ago, and my computer erased it! Urghhh...don't you hate when that happens?

Unrant ---> The money I get for my recycled bottles has always been 2.5 cents for the small ones (the ones that come out of the vending machines...I don't know what the liter size is) and 5 cents for the bigger 2 liters. But come the new year, little bottles will get me 4 cents and big ones will get me 8 cents! Which doesn't sound like much, but that will almost double what I"m getting now. I've made about twenty dollars from bottles thus far...which is pretty good, considering that I'm doing absolutely nothing beyond taking the trouble to look strange and ask people for their trash. :rolleyes: And, even better, my mom is letting me keep all the bottles I'm getting now until January, when I'll recycle them all and get more money, instead of recycling them weekly like I usually do. Which is really a step for my mom, who tries not to humor my obsessions. :D

Yeah, that's pretty much it, Rhi. ;)

Ick. Computers confustulate me. (Confuse + discombobulate = confustulate, I guess...I don't know, it sounded right...) Especially the ancient model that we have at home. The one my dad has at church is so fast and so docile...but this one is old and grumpy. Hmm...I wonder if all computers have personalities...:D

(Random off-topic note ---> Have you ever wondered if anything can be combobulated? If you're discombobulated when you're confused...are you combobulated when you're not...? :confused: *Thinks too much about this kind of thing*)

Rant: The race this weekend was horrible! The trail was so rooty that it was impossible to go fast. This trail is cursed because, 1. During the preride at night I lost my $30 speedometer. 2. My chain broke so I couldn't even finish the race. 3. I crashed really bad when my chain got stuck, my whole right side is bruised and scratched, my right arm and hand are practically one big scab(I crashed on rocks:mad: ), and I can barely type now because my hand is so messed up.

Turin:

I know how you feel. :( One year on the cross country team, I fell down a rocky hill during one of the earliest races in the season, pulling leg muscles so out of whack that I don't think they ever fully recovered that autumn. The rest of the season was pretty much shot ... I ran injured, and it showed in my times. I was happy just to keep bettering myself from race to race little by little.

And then there were my teammates to deal with. Rumor had it that I was just faking my injury to get out of doing the harder workouts. * shakes his head * So much for team spirit and pulling together in someone's time of need to offer encouragement, let alone offer the basic decency of trust towards someone who'd proven themselves in years past.

But as for you, Turin, ..... I wish you a quick recovery for your arm and hand, equipment made good as new like the Blade that was Broken reforged, and smooth trails! :)

I am now working as a cashier at the Jewel store. Not a good idea, let me tell you. Besides having to know how to ring up 50 different combinations of payments, and knowing where to place them in your drawer, you have to deal with impatient customers, cheating customers (I had to have my drawer pulled out and counted because a couple of guys said that they gave me a $50, when in reality they gave me $20. I know because I only got 1 fifty dollar bill, and it was from a lady. I have my memory, thank goodness.), customers who want every item checked for price "because it is on sale"...when it is not. And then they argue, and try to prove they are right when not only I checked it in the paper, I also called for a price check and got a sticker with a price on it.
In addition to all those fun things we know process checks in a different way, so I need customers phone # and driver's license. It's not my fault they lost their license after they got a ticket from a police officer. No, I cannot ring up the ticket instead of license. Why? Because I need a picture and your signature. No, you cannot show me your credit card of Marshall Fields membership card. No need to throw them at me. You will not shop in this store ever again? What can I say? YYYaaaaaaaaayyyyy! *cheers*
Argh. Grr.
And don't even start me on the coupons that won't scan even though the product matches perfectly. Or when the item won't scan or ring up when I type in the code. (And it always happens when the department from which that item comes is closed.)

I have a headache.
I have been watching the What Not To Wear--Don't Dress Like A Turkey Marathon yes, I know, deep philosophical choice of television shows.:rolleyes: :o for some reason, shows like that fascinate me, but watching them over and over hour after hour! I've seen 12.5 episodes today. 12! there was nothin else on. after the first two, normally I would have changed to something else, but there was nothing else!

I attempted to teach my little brother and my cousin how to oplay the star wars theme song on the organ...well, I know how to play it on a piano, but a organ was what was there. well, being as they are 11 and 12 years old, um.... they weren't so great. so the whole time I was watching What Not To Wear, I was hearing mangled versions of the star wars theme song behind me. played very loudly. in several harsh tones. over and over. my ears hurt.

and now I reiterate taht I have a headache. it hurts.

unrant--> tomorrow I get to go shopping!!!!
um, yes, that sounds a little....um... well, I don't know the word, but, no matter how boyish I am, I haven't yet been able to escape some female tendencies, one of which is a love for shopping.

Every year, around the end of november (or the beginning of december, take your pick) my family, my grannie, papa, aunt tracy, aunt diane, aunt cherry, uncle carl, and my cousins tyle and maggie(...wow.... there seems like a lot more of them when I write it down...) all go out to this huge, awesome, strip-mall/shopping center thing and do about 80 %of our holiday shopping, and well, tomorrow, that's what we're doing. YAY! ok... I don't have that much money, but tracy always gives the kids spending money, and I still count as a kid :D so:D :D :D

unrant--> and hopefully, I get to see stizzle tomorrow after the shopping experience, and that's always good...:) :D

I woke up at 6 this morning and I was cramping really badly, so I got the heating pad and thought maybe I could just use that. I lied in my bed for 2 and a half hours just cringing, an dscrunching upo and spreading ouyt trying to find the most comfortable position, until finally, I got uuup the determination to come downstairs and get some midol. I'm still waiting for it to kick in though, so I'm still hurting very badly.

I've never had Orange. Why is cherry predominant?

My routine: (Not mature, I know. I don't care!) :p

Pour the stuff, and proceed to look at it. Pour a glass of soda, or strong juice. Get something salty nearby, i.e. Wheat Thins, pretzels, popcorn, etc. Look at the stuff again. Pick it up. Think how sick I felt last time. Eat a Wheat Thin. Take a sip of soda. Look at the stuff. Move to a different part of the kitchen. Look again. Drink the stuff without meaning to, take a huge gulp of soda, and proceed not to breath for the next minute. While not breathing, cram Wheat Thins in, chew and swallow. Repeat. Ah, done! :rolleyes:

But the way you presented your rant made me laugh...sorry, can't help it. :rolleyes:;) I agree, the "flavors" are disgusting. The only one I can stomach is the grape Dimetap.

Then we drove back on Tuesday night and Wednesday for me to work today. We were able to visit a lot of family and eat a lot of food. I went hunting all day Monday and Tuesday morning. It was quite cold out but not too bad. The worst part was that it was WINDY. We had sideways snow:eek: . My face is now windburnt(didn't know such a thing existed till now) and my lips are chapped beyond all recognition. I had fun though, even if I didn't get anything(stupid deer).

And no that stuff doesn't make me uncomfortable...much. It's a natural thing and a very good reason I'm glad I'm a guy.

Riding fast trying to catch up, I hit the dug out part of a hill and wrecked, thus letting everyone that hadden't passed me before do so. when I wrecked my knee rammed into the root, it was swollen (and still is) making it hard for me to ride the rest of the race.

Gandalf The Grey

My dear Rhiannon,

Not knowing how I may help, I hope that a small bit of entertainment might serve to cheer you up?

* The wizard stands, moves into the center of the Common Room. Tosses his pipe up to the rafters, from which three fireballs come down instead, juggles them. Changes the color of each fireball hovering in mid-air, from red to purple to blue ... Playfully propels all three fireballs together in the general direction of Rhiannon ... The fireballs intentionally miss their mark, of course, as Gandalf bows and smiles ..... *

* Next, quick as lightning, Gandalf grabs hold of the tablecloth from his table, whereon sit bowls, cups, plates, cutlery, serving platters ..... Whips the tablecloth out from under all these without chipping or shattering even the most fragile dish or glass. The wizard shows the assembled crowd that the tablecloth is plain white on one side, gold on the other ..... Then, with a flash of light, Gandalf tosses the tablecloth up into the air. When it lands back in his arms, he spreads the cloth open to reveal that it now contains an image of Rohan's emblem, a white horse on a green field, on both sides ... and then gestures towards a baby oliphaunt that is now standing beside him, having appeared without explanation! *

* In the best tradition of a merry meeting of Middle Earth, introduces the oliphaunt (who as yet has no name, you may name him as you like!) to Rhiannon ... * :)

-- Gandalf the Grey

Hopefully I'm going to do a 12 hour race this february, it will be much more fun than doing the series type races because you don't have to all line up on the starting line. Hopefully I'll get a team together by then.

*Promptly hires GandalftheGray as the GOO's personal entertainer and wizard-of-good-cheer* Yay! Oliphaunts! But what kind of a name is George? ;) *Studies too many Georges in AP Euro*

*Glances at homework rants from other Outcasts* I will not go into a homework rant...I will not go into a homework rant. I would be typing all night if I were to go into a homework rant. :o It will suffice to say that school is a terror. Bleh.

I have a chemistry test this week, too! Small world. Good luck, Niirewen. Sleep, sleep, sleep! Ah, a good night's rest...that elusive luxury...

No, I think it was either part of your deep thoughts or your signature at the time (the second one, I'm pretty sure). I don't remember what it said...something about killing or death. I just remember looking at it, shaking my head, and thinking, Turin is disturbing. ;)

George is an excellent name for a baby oliphaunt. :p *is happily riding George all around the GOO wearing a makeshift turban of towels*

Oh, that was off some commercial for a game and I thought it sounded true, I think it was something like 'Its not about dying for your country, its about making your enemy die for his'. Is that not what war is about?

Major rant- I got the flu (even though I got a flu shot!:mad: ) and couldn't go to school today. I'm going to have to find some way to make up all the tests I missed, which will probably mean staying after school for several days. Ugh. I feel awful and I might not be able to go to school tomorrow either and then I'll have even more work to make up. :( I hate the flu!

Rhiannon:

I'm delighted to hear you're so happy with George the Oliphaunt, my friend! :)

Kailita:

Why thank you, kind maiden! Or should I say, "boss" ... now that you've hired me? :)

While I am woefully ignorant of most culture that people view nowadays in the Seventh Age on their palantiri, I am very saddened to hear the tidings of Jonathan Brandis and his tragic death. :(

Niirewen:

Well met! I feel for you, as I'm in the same sort of boat. Join me for a small supper and tea?

* Starts a fire in the hearth. Hangs over the blaze a large copper kettle, dented from the time it was kicked downhill by a wraith, but shiny, having been cleaned afterward by Elves with athelas. Sets chicken soup a-simmering. Places near the glowing alder logs a small iron kettle in which now begins to brew a curative tea of licorice and betony wood. *

The semester is over! You know what this means? I'M DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL!! Woohoo! *runs around capering madly* I just had The Great Ordeal, aka my Economics final that I spent all day yesterday studying for, and it wasn't even that bad.

But last night I couldn't sleep at all because I couldn't breath through my nose (no! I can't get sick! I'm going to NC!), and I woke up to...

A truck. In our yard. And neither one of my parents anywhere to be found.

It was the men come to pump out our septic tank, which has been misbehaving to the point that all six of us have only been able to use one bathroom (my bathroom, at that).

There are strange men with a truck digging a whole in our yard, I just got up, my test was in forty minutes, and Mom is nowhere to be found.

Lord God give us aid.

Then the foreman wanted me to come out and see the cracked lid of the septic tank (and fortunately I slept in jeans, so I wasn't wearing pajama pants), and this was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life because I just woke up fifteen minutes ago and I have no idea what's going on and no my husband isn't home I don't have a husband, thank you.

Mom had gone to pick of her medication and the line was really long and her cell phone wasn't getting any reception.

School ends in... 6 days!!! I don't know if I can stand it that long.

Rant: I have to do a 28 day weather experiment through Christmas, I'm going to be out of state most of the month so I have to write down my observations while driving to Texas, and even on Christmas, I'm sure I'll forget it a lot of days so I'll just have to make something up. :rolleyes:

Rant2: I just about finished typing up a lab report, then I reallized that its the wrong one!!!, I was reading the wrong one out of the book, now I have to start all over. To make things worse, its due today, and I still have to draw a picture for it and another one.

Rant: I'm getting sick again, that'll make 3 times in the last couple months.

Rant2: Pursuasive essay due Tuesday, I haven't started on it yet but it shouldn't be too hard.

Unrant: My last race is this Sunday!

Rant3: My mom is making me go to some stupid school Christmas party, and I have to dress up! She didn't even ask me before signing me up, and the worst part is, I have to spend $5 of my hard earned money on a stupid gift.

gah, my mom used to do stuff like that to me all the time, turin, but she stopped. I'm not sure how or why it happened, but I'm happy it did

rant--> I just had to convince someone that life does have purpose, it's just hard to find sometimes, and that suicide is bad. (they weren't planning on commiting suicide, in fact, I didn't actually tell them not to, but I hope that our talk had the same effect as "NO SUICIDE! SUICIDE BAD!"....yeah....)

huge unrant-->winter break!!! next friday I get out at 12:00 and then I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D

rant--> next weeks schedule is all freaky, I think all the schools in the district are doing it, but that doesn't make me any less confuzzled about it. I need a schedule. badly. I think what's happening is that you take a test for one class (sometimes 2) each day, and you get 2 hours in the classes that you're taking a test in, and then you don't go to that class anymore that week. which means that I have to live through 2 hours of kankel and rollins, but them I'm free!!!

(I will be sooo depressed by the end of winter break:rolleyes: )

unrant--> I GET TO SEE THE TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA TOMORROW!!!!!!!!, it's gonna b great. their ukranian bell carol is the bestestest ever (aka silver bells and carol of the bells)

rant-->I have all these presents to buy, not enough money, and I haven't bought any yet!

unrant-->13 (?) days til christmas!!!:D

..... I don' think I have anymore.....
