Real Life Rantings! Argh!

[Niirewen]

Aw, Rhi. :(

Here's my long, collective rant:
I've been on the verge of breaking down pretty much since school started (but it hasn't happened yet, fortunately). I have so much work for my classes, I just don't have time for it all. I'm stressed out about cross-country in general. I have NO free time, especially on weekends. Family life is not good. I'm so busy and stressed. The major problem, though, is that people are expecting so much from me. I don't have time to hang out with friends and they make me feel guilty. People are being so over-sensitive to me but expect me to let them walk all over me. I am getting tired of it.

Today my mother started harassing me about the back-to-school dance this Friday. No, I don't want to go. I don't have time. I don't like dances. I'm sorry that spending hours in a crowded cafeteria full of drunk high-schoolers freak dancing is not my idea of fun. Why is that not understandable?

Tomorrow is my first cross-country meet. I am very excited but also very nervous. Very nervous. Wish me luck!! :)

[Turin]

Rant: We've been without power since saturday. It's been really boring, forutunately we have a generator so we can take showers :o.

Unrant: We just got power back today, its so nice. :D

Unrant: I've been out of school for the last week thanks to the hurricane :D.


I hate hurricanes, in the last month 2 have come through and theres gonna be another, they suck.

[Niirewen]

How are things going for you, Turin, with all those hurricanes? I hope it's not too bad.

Rant: The most we've gotten from Ivan is a lot of rain-- it's been raining all lastnight and today. And I have a race today. :( It's supposed to be raining all day, and my race is last, so I will be sitting outside in the rain all day before I run my race. :(

[Turin]

Its not going too bad, we're fortunate not to have any damage to our property. Our area was only hit with tropical storm force winds, but theres still a lot of uprooted trees and downed powerlines.

Unrant: Its been a long week in school and I'm glad its the weekend :D.

[Rhiannon]

Unrant: I'm home for the weekend! I have a Batman shirt! I have new jeans! I did well on all THREE of my tests last week! Aaaaand, we adopted an Irish Wolfhound!

My parents had wolfhounds (Huan and Garda) before they had children, but Huan died when I was three, and Garda when I was five. We've wanted another ever since, but never got the chance (they're expensive and breeders are picky picky picky). But we have connections with the Irish Wolfhound rescue agency, and when we heard that there was one that needed a home we jumped at the chance. Duncan is three years old, "wheaten", which means he's cream-colored, and weighs 160 lbs. It's like having a bear in the house. He's very sweet, though, like most wolfhounds are, and seems to be adjusting to his new home just fine. Even the cats are adjusting quickly.

[Turin]

Rant: I HATE being home on friday night, it just sucks, go to school all week to sit at home at the end of it. Since my mom decided to run off with my brother's truck we're pretty much stranded.

Unrant: I benched 160 today, thats my new max(as well as the weight of Rhi's dog :P).

Rant: another hurricane.

Rant: I come back to the forum to find a dozen Bush bashing threads by Lotho, I don't even bother reading them cause its all **** anyway.

*(The stars do not indicate a bad word, its just one that the system decided to filter)

[Gandalf White]

Rant: I come back to the forum to find a dozen Bush bashing threads by Lotho, I don't even bother reading them cause its all **** anyway.


Just take courage in the fact that whenever someone has the time to go get solid, actual evidence against his propaganda he withdraws from the discussion. :p

[Gandalf White]

Rant: I just found out I failed my first exam today. I was expecting to, though; Theology just doesn't interest me, and everyone thought the test was incredibly hard.

Unrant: It's not bothering me in the slightest. :cool:

[Rhiannon]

Life. Is. ****. Or at least it is this week. Overall, college life is pretty good, but this week I am incredibly busy AND PMSing AND not getting any sleep AND my brother is grouchy AND all my friends are just as miserable so I have no one to complain to, AND there is a lot of general self loathing going on.

But it's improving--last night was really bad, but I sat around and talked with my next door neighbor, who is an awesome chick, for two hours and it felt really good to just talk randomly.

[Turin]

Rant: I grow weary of one post newbies posting pointless threads about nothing and thinking they're original but have actually been posted hundreds of times before.

Well, I guess I should be nicer, I was one of them once too :p.

Rant: This week sucked, school sucks, most of the girls at my school suck :eek:.

[Niirewen]

Rant: I haven't been around in awhile.. I've been so busy! It's crazy.. I'm so busy during the week with school, cross-country, and homework, and on weekends I usually babysit almost non-stop.

Rant: My mom keeps pestering me about college stuff.. scholarship essays and interviews, mostly, and I'm starting to feel guilty about procrastinating so much. But all this stuff involved in applying to college is just too much. I really don't know how much more I can take.

Unrant: I turned down a babysitting job (for once) to go to a Highland Festival/National Book Fair (haven't decided which one) with my mom this Saturday. Should be lots of fun!

[Niirewen]

*is trying desperately to bring back the real life rantings thread*

Unrant: The girls cross country team qualified for state championships! The race is today! I'm so excited! (Also very nervous.)

Rant: The weather is freezing today! It's about 40 degrees and we have to run wearing tank tops and shorts, ahh! At least it's not raining nonstop like it was yesterday.

Unrant: I've finished all my college applications! Wohoo! :D

[Rhiannon]

Rant: I am going to be dead by the end of the semester. *keels over*

[Lomelinde]

rant: I am going to be dead now. *keels over also*

[Niirewen]

No, stop dying! It's lonely enough around here!

Rant: I had to get a new transmission for my car. $2000. Ah.

Unrant: I'm going on my school's trip to Italy this summer! I am so excited! :D

[MacAddict]

Hullo peoples. It has been many a time since I have visited this site, and it will more than likely continue to be that way, I just have no time to hang anymore. If anyone whats to get in touch with me or see what I'm up to these days go over to http://madseacowpro.deviantart.com you can find me there anyday. So until I stop by for another visit, each of ye farewell.

~MacAddict

[Turin]

Hey there ho there(in the words of Coach z), since Mac posted here I might as well too. And as for me pretty much the same thing applies, I'm either at school or doing homework. But I find time to visit on occasion :cool:.

[Niirewen]

We're all just so busy these days! Currently I'm enjoying Thanksgiving break, though. :)

[Turin]

Rant: I saw alexander, don't waste your money, unless of course you support homosexuality. The movie had no plot, only one good battle scene, and way too many homosexual inuendos. Collin Farrel used to be one of my favorite actors until this movie, he plays a confused king who doesn't really know what he wants and keeps pushing for it until everyone hates him. By confused I mean, he apparently doesn't know if he's straight or gay because he gets married and then goes off to and sleeps with men. I really wish I had left in the middle and got my money back.

[Niirewen]

I haven't seen Alexander, but I have heard several times that it was awful, so I hadn't planned on seeing it. I did see the Incredibles and National Treasure, though, and liked them both!

Rant: Spending my entire Saturday writing 50 million scholarship essays is not fun!

[Lomelinde]

rant: went to go see The Incredibles over break but it was sold out. all of the showings.

unrant: somehow managed to finish a huge project in time to present it today (Monday)

unrant: tp'd someone's house. (then cleaned it up an hour later, but it was fun anyway) :D

[Niirewen]

Rant: I got a job and now it seems like all I do is work. I have so many projects and tests before winter break and I have almost no time to do them. I'm going insane. I don't sleep enough and I don't usually have time to eat either. This is not good. But I think I'm going to quit after next week because I'm not going to go through this during midterm exams.

Okay, I'm finished. I really had to rant about that.

[Turin]

Unrant: I went to see the Spongebob movie a couple weeks ago with some of my friends. It was awesome. Being the Spongebob fan that I am, it's strange that I waited so long to see it. I also met one of my good friends that I haven't seen in a year.

Unrant: We're out of school for the year.

Rant: The usual, homework, science fair project. Especially homework over Christmas break.

[Rhiannon]

*hug Niri*

First semester of college is OVER. YAY. Finals are OVER. YAY. I talked to my parents tonight, and they got my end-of-semester grades (finally)--All As. 4.0 GPA. YAY. I worked so hard to get that 4.0--I'm happy. Rhi is one happy outcasty chick. I'm also exhausted, but I don't work again until after New Year's--YAY.

RANT: No Inuyasha tonight, and the last episode was a big cliffhanger. And come Monday I won't be somewhere with cable, so no Cartoon Network for Rhi. Which means no Inuyasha. And no Wolf's Rain, come to that. And no Family Guy. Or Futurama. THE HORROR!

[Niirewen]

Rhi!! I've missed you! I'm so glad you're not dead! *big hug*

Rant: I'm working a ridiculus amount of hours next week. It's going to be very exhausting.

Unrant: My winter break starts Christmas Eve. It's not a very long break, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Unrant: We just got our first snow tonight! It's only about an inch, but I'm still excited.

[pipin]

rant: my cd player broke and I just got some kind of monster

unrant: I got me a X-box

[Lomelinde]

rant: five days until Christmas!

unrant: five days until Christmas!
ps - it's snowing!! (this is uncharacteristic southern weather)

[Niirewen]

Yay for snow! We were very disappointed that school wasn't cancelled today. It was so cold-- below zero degrees with wind chill. Brrr.

Rant: It's Monday. :( 3 more days to go until break starts. It seems like forever.

Well, I've just finished working a seven hour shift after a long day of school, so I am very tired.. I'm going to bed..

[e.Blackstar]

Grar. No reason for it, just a general grar. (isn't that an amusing word?)

[e.Blackstar]

Rant:its cold in my house and I have to find a 300+ page book to read for English and I am bored and no one is on AIM.

Unrant:ITS CHRISTMAS!

[Niirewen]

Well, no one's been around here lately, but I'll post anyway.

Unrant: We're having our first real snow of the winter right now. It's very pretty.

Rant: This week is exam week. Ahh. I have physics and calculus tomorrow, which are my two hardest subjects. :(

Unrant: I spent this past weekend at camp. Unfortunately it was the last time I can go, but I had a wonderful time.

[Turin]

The first two weeks of school after the break were hell.
I kicked off the year starting my science project. Personally, I thought it sucked, plus I left like half the stuff out of it.
Surprisingly, it made it to the science fair which was this morning. It has been a long day. I started off at 7 when I got up for the science fair, stood in the library for a couple hours waiting for the judges. After that I went to 1st period, PE, English and then Geometry.
I'm so glad the week is almost over.

Unrant: I got to go snowboarding last weekend, it was so awesome. I just decided to try and kill myself (not literally) on the slopes so I stayed out all the whole day and boarded just about every slope in the place. My butt is really sore right now as a result :D.

Anyway, just thought I'd check in with the old GOO.

[e.Blackstar]

argh argh argh. just had finals week and a hard play rehersal. more of thoseon order for the weekend. eep

[Niirewen]

Yay, I didn't actually expect anyone to respond to my post. I'm glad some outcasts are still around!

Unrant: Exam week is over!!! And we have a three-day weekend! Horray!!

Unrant: I got to go snowboarding last weekend
I went skiing last weekend and had lots of fun. I hope to go again before this winter is over.

[Maeglin]

My finals week just ended and I get a 3 day weekend as well. Too bad it's supposed to snow starting this afternoon into tomorrow and I'm gonna get about 2 feet! What a waste of a 3-day weekend, being snowed in my own house watching movies! :mad:

[Niirewen]

I'm in the same situation. It started snowing this morning and it's supposed to keep going for most of the weekend. I was hoping to get out today but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I'm bored already.. I'll have to find some way to entertain myself.

[Turin]

Rant: I've been slacking a lot in my exercising in the past month or two, I really need to start training for the next race.

Well, it's me and it seems like since I left the GOO disappeared. I miss it.

[Niirewen]

I was just thinking the same thing today. It's very sad. :(

Well, today was not a very good day, so I guess I'll rant about it. It was bad from the beginning. It's that time of the month again, and I woke up feeling awful, but I had to go to school because I missed school on Thursday (and we didn't have school Friday). And of course I didn't have an absence note for missing school that day. I didn't eat breakfast because I felt yucky. When I was getting ready to leave this morning I realized it was snowing but we still had school. And then it turned into rain and it's been ugly and depressing out all day. I'm getting senioritis and I've been slacking off a little lately and I feel like there is just so much work to do and I can't take it anymore and I just want it to be over already! But it's not! It's only February! And I keep looking forward to spring break, but that's a whole month away! Anyway, I didn't get such a great grade on my Euro History test because I didn't answer one of the essays because I didn't read all of the chapter, but my teacher said I could re-do it or whatever, so that's good. I just finished writing it with the help of my textbook. Okay, I think I'm finished. That was a really long rant!

Are there any other Outcasts still out there..?

By the way, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, even if you think it is an evil holiday. It's okay with me, because people give you chocolate. :p

[Maeglin]

Ahhhh senioritis, I'm getting it as well. Too bad I have a project that I haven't finished yet due on Wednesday, huge test on wednesday that might get moved to Thursday, and another huge test on thursday which may turn into 2 huge tests because of what I just said. Latin and Russian history, I don't know why I chose 2 such difficult classes for my final semester of high school, but I did and now I'm stuck with it. Well at least I get all of next week off, so that should be a nice break, but then its 2 full months without any more time off other than Good Friday. I guess I shouldn't complain, but rather be enjoying what little time I have left in high school, its just hard to do with so much work on my hands.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)

[Niirewen]

High school. *sigh* Can't wait until it will finally be over.

Hang in there, Maeglin, I know how you feel! It will all be over soon! (At least that's what I keep telling myself.) :)

[e.Blackstar]

RANT: Have a crapload of homework and lots to do tonight...all of yesterday's makeup work, tonight's homework, Taekwondo, play audition, about which I am VERY nervous...

another rant; my english teacher assigned not one but TWO essays today. DUE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! And I'm already uberbusy!

[Elendae]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

*Bangs head on keyboard.* 6yvbc565tyb. that's kinda interesting, but hurts.

Oh the summer blues, especially where I am. Hot, miserable and a ton of work to do around the place, and no pay for it.

[Niirewen]

The ranting thread is still here! Horray!

Well, I don't really have anything to rant about, I was just really happy when I saw this thread. :)

Are there any Outcasts left?

[e.Blackstar]

*raises hand* Ooh, me! I'm a Outcast! :cool: Weeeeeeee! :D

[Elendae]

I guess I'm an outcast in my own mind, but.... what specifically is an Outcast, with the capital O?

[AraCelebEarwen]

*stumbles in with a crazy look in her eyes*

AAAHHHH!!! :mad: No body's on right now!!! oh :o sorry. Hi. How are you? :D Have you ever gone to The Fat Balrog, Christian Cup or anything? Sorry, but I'm soooo bored right now! I want to get back to my RPGs but I have to let the others go first! I just got back and was really hoping that someone would post or that I could find something interesting to get in on. But it must be getting to the end of summer 'cus it's just been rather calm around here. I would get into some of the discussions or something, but just don't really have much I could contribute! I guess I should do some more studies on things or something like that... But you must be rather tired of my rantings by now, so I shall finnish this and go look for something to do... :D

*Looks around and starts to walk off*

Oh, and this might be a fun place if I ever need to 'let it out' again... not that I really did this time... ;) :D but that was fun! Thanks for getting this going!

[Niirewen]

*raises hand* Ooh, me! I'm a Outcast! Weeeeeeee!
Yaayy! e.Blackstar! (I still think of you as Treyar.. :rolleyes: ) I think we are the only formerly official Outcasts left.. :( I miss everyone from GOO..

I guess I'm an outcast in my own mind, but.... what specifically is an Outcast, with the capital O?
To answer your question, Elendae, there used to be a Guild of Outcasts, back when there were guilds. It was the awesomest guild ever. Sadly, it does not exist anymore, and most of the original Outcasts aren't around that much these days. But there are a few threads from the GOO floating around here.. like this one!

AraCelebEarwen, that was a very interesting post! Feel free to rant here anytime! I know what you mean about things being so slow around here... Anyway, no, I haven't been to those places (The Fat Balrog or Christian Cup), but perhaps I'll pop my head in sometime.

[Tar-Elendil13]

I have an unusual rant to make. I HATE HATE HATE that the Confederacy didn't win the war of Northern Aggression!!!!!! Bad Lincoln, turning a ruthless invasion of the South into a moral crusade over slavery, which it obviously wasn't (Lincoln at first promised he would not interfere with slavery) and then towards the end of the "Civil War" he ordered that Generals should burn basically everything in the Southern Countryside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gaaah! That constantly annoys me that the awesome south isn't free from the North. I hope mods don't consider this rant too political, because it has to do with 130 year old politics. Anyway, my rant for the day. The South will Rise Again!!!!TE13

[AraCelebEarwen]

*Takes a deep breath...*

My head hurts, I can't think clearly and my creativity level is at it's absolute low! Over the last two day I managed to write three not very short poems, but now I can hardly keep my eyes straight! aaahhhhh! :mad: I think I've got a cold, I HATE colds! Even posting this is hard! WHY CAN'T I THINK?!?!?!!! :eek: :( I can't even draw anything worth the time it takes to go from mind to paper! And where did everyone go anyway?! I know you can't always get on here, but I like to at least have a post to work from! *sniff* I hope you will forgive my insanity, but is this not what this is here for?! :D

*sighs, wipes tears away and blows nose*

[Niirewen]

Aw, Ara, feel better. :(

My rant is this: I am supposed to get my provisional license taken off on August 9th (right now with my provisionals on I can't legally drive after midnight) but it is on a Tuesday, and the office is only open until 4:30, and I have to have a parent with me, but my mom will be working then. So I will have to wait until Friday. :( I know it's not a big deal but I'm still upset.

[Tar-Elendil13]

I have another rant. I despise the Cardinals. Is it because they are nine games ahead of the Astros? No. They have to be smug about it. And I hate that last season they destroyed the awesome Astros one shot at the World Series (for non-baseball people, this is the equivalent to the Superbowl). Grrrr. So annoying. I have to get back to the Astros website. It's game night.

TE13

[AraCelebEarwen]

Aw, Ara, feel better. :(

Thanks! :D I'm getting there! ;) :D

[e.Blackstar]

Treyar, huh Niirewen? It's been awhile since that name popped up!

TE13

Oooh, I have a rant now. :mad:

You see, there's this kid named Tar-Elendil13, and, well, he hates the cardinals. And you see, my sister and I love the Cardinals. They are cool. No, beyond cool. And I won't bother to bash this kid's team (the Astros) because, well, because I'm a nice person (plus they're already nine games behind and that's surely enough punishment). :cool: So there.








I feel so evil. :p

[Tar-Elendil13]

Another two Cardinal's fans? My Karate instructor is one too. I feel sorry for you guys.:D You probably don't feel sorry for me, but that's ok.

TE13

[e.Blackstar]

:D





REAL LIFE RANT: I am going camping this weekend but rain is forcasted!

[Turin]

Rant: School starts monday! My summer has been pretty crazy but its still sad to see it end.

Unrant: I'm goin to a party tonight. Though I have to find someone's house to stay at because of my parents.

[e.Blackstar]

School starts MONDAY, Turin? :eek: Holy cow! You poor thing...I don't start for another month!

[Turin]

Yeh, aint it great. I live in Florida and we get the effing shortest summer in the world.

[Hammersmith]

Shorter than four weeks?

[e.Blackstar]

Dude, who gets FOUR WEEKS? That's horrible! :mad:

:o

[Hammersmith]

Well I stretched to six when I was in school, but my younger brother informed me they've dropped it to four in some English schools.

[e.Blackstar]

That's AWFUL! :( *shrivels with pity for the poor limeys* We get from June 8th (or thereabouts) through September 8th. :o

[e.Blackstar]

Arrrr! My friends and I are getting together today, but one of my bestestest friends that I haven't seen for almost two years just emailed to say he can't come! Alas....fie and damnation! :mad:






:o

[e.Blackstar]

Hark, a triple post! *grumbles* 'cause nobody ELSE ever rants...

Okay, this isn't so much a rant, but...

my friend's mom died last week. I just learned of it today. I am visiting my extended family in a different state, and I feel incredibly awful, not only for her but because I can't be there to give her a hug. :( :( :(

[yhwh1st]

Hark, a triple post! *grumbles* 'cause nobody ELSE ever rants...
I'll rant with you. Nobody at home takes any of my rantings seriously because mine are so rare and short lived.

Stupid jerk of a dentist! :mad: :mad: He told me I wouldn't have to have my wisdom teeth pulled, *in a mocking voice* I have plenty of room back there. And what do I hear from my new dentist?!?! I have to get them pulled!!! I go in for a consultation in a few days then next month I will have all four of them out. I guess I'll have plenty of time to think up new things to post, if I'm not too groggy from the pain medication that is.:mad:

[reem]

Oof...that's heavy...
How's your friend holding up? Have you spoken to her yet?
...I can't even begin to imagine how she feels. Losing a parent is no small thing...
Thoughts and prayers, e.B. *hug*

Ach, don't worry about it, Yhwh. I had two of mine surgically removed last summer (jaw too narrow for them to grow); didn't hurt that much during the opperation. Just make sure you don't do all four at once, or you won't be able to chew a thing for weeks. And I found that drinking apple juice instead of water is much more comfortable on the stomach during those first two weeks. The pain (a constant dull throbbing) will come after the anaesthesia wears off, but it's not so intense that you won't be able to do anything. I spent most of my time reading to take my mind off it. Brushing your teeth will be a bit of a chore, though; won't be able to open your jaw wide enough for the toothbrush to get in, so I recommend getting a smaller one just for those first few days. The biggest downside of the whole thing is that your face will swell like in those Japanese cartoons:p Very amusing, when you look back at it, but not when you're going through it:p Better do the thing during summer holidays or something ;)

I emailed her and she didn't respond except with the link to her mom's obituary. :( I called the girl who told me though, and she kinda explained the situation. I told her to give Dani a hug for me and tell her I was sorry I couldn't be there.

She used to be active on the forum as Thindraug_2 so if anyone wants to drop her a line or anything her email's probably in her profile.

Thanks reem. :o

[AraCelebEarwen]

*trips into the room crying* Why can I never get my spelling right!!?!! :( I know I'm dyslexic and never got spelling english!, but I love to read and write! You would think I'm old enough to know how to spell, but nooo! They point and laugh they do! No help! No help at all! I refuse to stop writing, but I hate that I can't spell!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :(

Unrant: I am getting better... slowly, but I am! :o


(And you know I'm praying, Black! :) )

Thanks for the tips reem. The problem is, that I am having all four out at once. I should be able to deal with the not being able to open my mouth much. When I was about 10 I had a swollen and enlarged lymph node surgically removed from the right side of my jaw (my Dr. said it was cat scratch disease). The Dr. went inside my mouth so I wouldn't have a scar on my cheek. I had about 4 or 5 stitches inside my mouth. couldn't eat solids for about a week or two.

From what you say, it sounds like my face will be about twice the normal size. *bangs head on keybord* I'll be hiding out under my sheets for a while next month. :( :eek: :(

[reem]

I emailed her and she didn't respond except with the link to her mom's obituary. I called the girl who told me though, and she kinda explained the situation. I told her to give Dani a hug for me and tell her I was sorry I couldn't be there.
I'm sure she'll appreciate it, e.B. The important thing is that she has friends and family around her. :)


Thanks for the tips reem. The problem is, that I am having all four out at once.
Oh...erm...well, that's not too bad either, I think *uncertain grin*. My older sister did all four at once. ...She survived...but she was the one who told me to do two only:p
It can't be too bad. You should be alright if you're sticking to non-solids. You'll have to get used to sleeping on your back for a while, though, what with the swelling on both sides.

From what you say, it sounds like my face will be about twice the normal size. *bangs head on keybord* I'll be hiding out under my sheets for a while next month.
Heh, well, I won't lie to you, it really does look like something out of a Japanese cartoon. Totally surreal...in a weird, freakish sort of way:p Just be mentally prepared. And keep those icepacks close!

*trips into the room crying* Why can I never get my spelling right!!?!! I know I'm dyslexic and never got spelling english!, but I love to read and write! You would think I'm old enough to know how to spell, but nooo! They point and laugh they do! No help! No help at all! I refuse to stop writing, but I hate that I can't spell!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Don’t worry too much about it, AraCeleb:) You’ll get over it soon, because: “I am getting better... slowly, but I am!”;) Just keep working on it, and don’t you dare stop writing!!

As for my personal rant - I’ve too much work and not enough time to do it, but I’m no mood to get started on it… ‘Procrastinator genes’ deeply embedded in my genetic makeup, I’m afraid *sigh*. And uni’s starting next week, so that’s more work to deal with. Bleh, shall go read to take my mind off it all :rolleyes:

[Turin]

Unrant: We won the football game last night 63 to 0! That was a freakin' awesome game followed by a freakin' awesome party.

Rant: You prolly know what happens the morning after an awesome party :eek:.

Rant: I suck at cross country.

Rant: I'm really out of shape and I have a 13 hour race in 2 weeks.

[e.Blackstar]

Congrats on the game! What position do you play?

[Turin]

Somehow, I knew that my post would be interpreted like that. I don't actually play football, when I said we I meant my school's team. Sorry bout the misunderstanding.

[e.Blackstar]

aaaah. :rolleyes:

[Niirewen]

Rant: College is very stressful. I had a nervous breakdown today.

[yhwh1st]

Rant: College is very stressful. No kidding! :rolleyes:

I had a nervous breakdown today. I'm sorry. What happened?

[e.Blackstar]

Grrrrrrrrr.

Just generally annoyed at people. *borrows Elgee's retractable claws* :mad:

[e.Blackstar]

Aaaaaah. I'm really sick (hacking cough, sore throat, stuffed-up head, blah de blah) and school starts tomorrow. I really really don't want to be sick for the first day of school! :mad:

[AraCelebEarwen]

*leans back in chair; thinks about getting some coffee or tea; rubs stiff neck; decides to post in rant thread; can't even think what to write here...*

My mind is driving me crazy! I can't think of anything to write and even if I do, nothing stays around long enough for me to put it to words! :(

*rubs face; gets out of chair; walks into kitchen; heats up some water; makes a cup of coffee; mixes in a pack of powdered coco; sits back at desk...*

I can't even think what I want to do with the pictures I was working on! Elgee and Smitty will just have to hope I get my mind back soon. ;)

*sips at soothing drink; looks at clock; thinks about dinner; sips again at drink; tries not to think about wanting to write...*

[e.Blackstar]

GARGH. :mad:

I need a job.

I need a hug.

I need Elgee's retractable claws.

I need some loud music.

I need chocolate.

[Daranavo]

I can not help with the job but I can offer a hug if you need one. The White Stripes have a new single out, Doorbell or something. Sounds very loud so crank it up. Chocolate should be easy enough to find. Keep your chin up Black.

[e.Blackstar]

Yay for friends. Especially ones who make me laugh... ;)

'm feeling much better.

[e.Blackstar]

Grar. 'nother rant.

One of my bestest friends got kicked out of his house here, and so he was living with his Dad a few hours away. Well he has to leave is dad's now, and he needs a place to stay. I hope he can find someplace close...and soon. I miss him :(

I! CAN'T! THINK!!!!!! :mad: :mad: I want to get this crazy story going and have gotten as far as a profile and an idea for where to start but I CAN'T GET IT WRITEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! My head hearts! I don't have anything worth my time to do! I'm getting tired! What's with not being able to sleep and why can't I find anyone to talk with?!!!!!! :( EEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! I'm BORED AND DON'T WANT TO NOT WRITE OR WORK ON MY ART!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

*screams into her pillow and the speaks in a muffled voice* Hey, this thing's soft!... *yawns and starts to wanders off* Maybe if I don't think about it..... :rolleyes:

(have any of you ever seen the 'Screaming Room' thread?! I just went through some of it! :eek: :cool: :o :D Makes for an interesting read.)

[AraCelebEarwen]

Well, I got further with that story, but here's the new rant: AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: WHY DOES THE 'UNDO' KEY HAVE TO BE SO DANG CLOSE TO THE 'SAVE' KEY!???!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Stupid computes anyway! The whole thing vanished!

Slight unrant: I did at least think to be working in two places, one was just further then the other. :( *grumbles and scuffs off to try to think where she was*

[e.Blackstar]

Rant: I'm at school. It sucks. I'm hungry and tired and sick and I want to go home. :mad: Grrrrrrrrrrr.

Unrant: I'm wearing the coolest pants on the face of the earth. ;)

Also...I get to hang out with my pretty-much-bestest friend tonight. And a bunch of other good friends on Saturday. Woot! :p




But grrr anyway. :cool:

[AraCelebEarwen]

*mumbling to self* Why am I posting? What do I have to post here anyway? Headache... Maybe that's it... anything else..? Haven't written anything in almost a week or more! Want to write... Draw? Longer still for that... Why can't I draw lately? No ideas maybe..? Oh well... Just rambling now I suppose... Slightly tired... almost bored... That has to be part of it! Want to write! Just... just write! Almost anything really! Maybe I'll go to the Battle Grounds... Should I let her win or lose this time..? *sigh. Starts to wander off*

[e.Blackstar]

Uber-rant (sorry for the lack of umlaut):

Our computer is broken! And it won't be fixed for AGES! And the school computers don't let me do anything! And I haven't the time to go to the library!

:mad: :mad: :mad:

[AraCelebEarwen]

I HATE COLDS!!! :(

Advil and hot tea are helping and my soft, warm cloak is really nice right now. It's not too bad or I wouldn't be on here, but it's not at all doing me any good! :( I don't want to have a cold!!! I don't have time for it! *sigh* Good thing I have a day off... *pulls hood up hiding her face in shadows and takes a sip from a steaming cup of tea before sneezing*

[e.Blackstar]

Rant: My friend is being weird. Dar knows what I'm talking about, methinks. ;) Anyway...it sucks. And deserves a rant. Thank goodness for the Ranting Thread!



*sucks in a double lungful of air* Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cool:

[AraCelebEarwen]

*pats Black on the shoulder* Ya know, I think this thread would have been long gone if not for the two of us. And in the way of letting it out and moving on, here is another moment of stress relief.

Looks like my cold has come to stay (as most do for me this time of year :( ) and I've about had it with the stupid sniffles!

I'm sore and tired from spending the last few days on my feet, running around and trying to keep up. One is expected to do their best and push themselves to be and do more; smile at all times and for all guests even though some would rather chew you out then show any sign of appreciation... *moan*

*takes long breath and locks teeth* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *huff*

unrant- At least it's somewhere I like working, much better then flipping burgers and asking if they want fries with that. ;)

Next thing, I am so bored!!! I don't have anything I can think of to write; nothing comes to mind to draw, can't even focus enough to get anywhere if I did have something to work on. I need something fun to do! I thought of doing a post for the Battle Grounds but don't have anything, almost started something new over in Writer's Resource Center but couldn't think what it should be and all... Just sick, tired and bored. I guess that's about where I am right now... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH HHHHHHHHH

[Turin]

Rant: I did absolutely nothing this weekend,this is the first time I haven't been to a party on friday in like 2 months. I'm also home alone and extremely bored, plus I'm not even allowed to have anyone over.
Rant: I'm tired of being single and I've been getting screwed over a lot recently.
Rant: School tomorrow.
Unrant: All A's and B's on my report card.
Rant: Mom's still not happy with my grades.
Unrant: Homecoming was extremely awesome even though we lost the football game.

[YayGollum]

Greetings, people. Huh. I had thought that this thread would have died with the rest of my Guild Of Outcasts stuff. Maybe there are still other old Outcast threads about that I haven't noticed? oh well. Looks like these AraCelebEarwen and e.Blackstar people have brought this back? Am achingly pleased to have provided a place for people to rant, yet again. Of course the Outcast thread thing that I cared about the least is the one that lives. :rolleyes: oh well. Have fun, crazy people.

[Elendae]

Sorry Yay, But twas I that revived this thread. Not your little conspiracy group of AraCelebEarwen, Hammersmtih, E.blackstar, Wraithgaurd, Daranavo.:cool:

Rant--> I am so sore from work today.

[YayGollum]

Why sorry? Anyways, thank you for answering my question. I, of course, did not assume that it was those people since I didn't actually go back to check. They were just writing about it. oh well. :rolleyes: Also, they are not my little conspiracy. They are creepy. All ganging up on people all over the place. *hides* :rolleyes:

[e.Blackstar]

*makes a fist* Better watch yourself, Yay. ;)


RANT: Parents are evil. 'nuf said

[Hammersmith]

Not your little conspiracy group of AraCelebEarwen, Hammersmtih, E.blackstar, Wraithgaurd, Daranavo.:cool:
I've never posted in this thread before. I'm a conspiracy now? :confused:

Also, they are not my little conspiracy. They are creepy. All ganging up on people all over the place. *hides* :rolleyes:
Oh my dear Gollum. You have no idea. :)
That little yellow guy's pretty much the most sinister smiley around. I need one with a slyer face. My kingdom for a sly smiley!

[AraCelebEarwen]

*A little girl sits curled up on the floor. Her head bowed and face almost hidden. Everything seems lost in silence for a little voice is the only sound and though it seems a loud cry it is no more then a whisper.* "Why... why would you do that? I care... I care! That's what friends do!... they care......" *Her face sinks to her knees and she shivers at the chill that wants to claim her. A single tear runs down her cheek. Darkness sinking in around the little figure, here ears ring from the silence.*

[Niirewen]

Rant: Finals are this week. :( I am so tired of studying and I just want it all to be over so I can go home and have a nice, long, relaxing break! Only two more days.. but time seems to be just dragging on and on..

[e.Blackstar]

Rant: YAAAAAARRRRRR school has been going on just long enough to be DEVASTATINGLY boring, and I am a few dozen dollars in debt but need to go Christmas shopping.:mad: :mad: :mad:

[AraCelebEarwen]

Going silently insane........ Want to write. Should find something fun to do... No one's around to write with, so that isn't going to work... Can't think of much to do on my now just now... That's sad. Maybe I'm tired... Cold? oh yeah. hmmm... Bored. yep. Evil word but so true. I NEED SOMETHING FUN AND ENTERTAINING AND... AND... *huff* I know what I would like... If only I could figure it out.

WRITE! POEMS, STORIES...! SOMETHING!!! Where has my mind gone now?! It's lost I tell you! LOST! *runs off crying and mumbling to curl up in a corner*

[Corvis]

Awww! Man! Christmas is in a few days and I haven't bought anything for my family yet. There's going to be nothing left!

[Turin]

Don't worry, I haven't bought anything yet either.

Unrant: I'm finally getting away from this place and flying out to Texas today for Christmas. After Christmas we're driving to New Mexico and snowboarding for 2 days.

Rant: I'm not going to be home for new years eve.

[Rhiannon]

Rant: Everyone in my whole entire family is CRAZY, and we're all crammed together, along with our two big dogs and two cats and my aunt and my grandmother and whatever relatives show up (which they do, at regular intervals), in my grandmother's house for an indefinite amount of time because we do not have a house--they sold our old one while I was gone, and didn't find a new one to buy before they closed on the house, and still haven't found a new one, because things keep coming up whenever we make an offer (most recently the peope whose house we'd like to buy couldn't get a loan to buy another and therefore cannot move out). And all of our Christmas traditions have been thrown up in the air and the majority of our belongings are in storage, and did I mention that everyone is CRAZY? I'm pretty sure that my mom and my sister are about to start eating each other, and I keep considering strangling my other sister with her braid...

At least we love each other, right?

On the plus side, all of my gifts were purchased more than a month ago while I was gone, and are now all wrapped, and on Monday I'm going to hang out with some good friends of mine all day, and in the spring I'm going to be a bridesmaid, which means I'll get to wear a spiffy dress and have an excuse to buy some insanely awesome heels. Also I borrowed Firefly from some fabulous friends of mine.

And I have twenty-four hours to write a short story. The concept is, mostly, solid in my head, but I'm not sure how to get it all down. I'll just have to sit down and do it.

[e.Blackstar]

One of me friends got me a pressy (a good one!) and I didn't get him anything. ****.:rolleyes:

[yhwh1st]

I just want to scream and cry at the same time!!!! My wallet was stolen just last Tue!!!:mad: I lost EVERYTHING! Even my ID (which just happens to have my SSN on it):rolleyes: :mad: Perhaps I should explain that last part. All military dependent ID cards have the dependent's SSN and the sponser's SSN on it. *runs off crying: "I'm going to be the victom of identity theft!!!"*

[e.Blackstar]

Divine bovine, Meg's back! I hope it's for a good long while, m'dear! The forum's been lacking without you!

Poor dear. *hug* I lost my wallet a few months ago too...not fun, not fun at all. :(

:o

[yhwh1st]

Weeeeeell... *glances down sheepishly* I actually popped on on somebody's computer. :( Things are starting to settle down around here though, so I might see what I can do about getting on once a week (at least)

Edit: love your sig dear! haha! my sister types like that!

[Niirewen]

Rant: I'm taking a history class over winter term at community college right now while I'm on break.. and it is really intense (it's a 3 credit course crammed into a month). I won't go into all the details, but I felt like complaining about it, just because I'm supposed to be having a break after my crazy fall semester at college, but I'm spending all my time doing work for this class.. but I suppose it's my own fault since I signed myself up for it, so I really shouldn't be complaining.. oh well..

[Wonko The Sane]

I'm pretty p!$$3d off with my boss. She's THE most annoying woman I've ever met.

And there's no danger of her ever seeing this because I don't think she watches movies with a plotline more complicated than "See Spot run. See Spot catch ball. See Spot lose ball. See Spot find ball again. See Spot lick boy's face. The End." Let ALONE read.

[AraCelebEarwen]

So here I am... Minding my own business... when... http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b54/AraCeleb/faces%20in%20a%20box/a050.gif

Alright... So nothing really happened, but I had to. :D Sometimes you just have to, ya know? :eek: ;) :rolleyes: :)

After all, I'm only a little sick... http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b54/AraCeleb/faces%20in%20a%20box/o045.gif

[Turin]

Rant: I'm sick of school, everything sucks.
I just watched The Truman Show and realized how much that really could be my life.
"Its been a while" by Staind pretty much describes my life word for word.

Rant: I almost got arrested the weekend before last. Don't think I'll go into details on that one.
Unrant: I didn't get arrested the weekend before last.

[Niirewen]

Rant: Spring semester just started on Monday, but I feel like I've been back for so much longer. I miss my dogs a lot. I also miss not having to eat cafeteria food every day. I miss my friends back home. But mostly I'm not used to having classes again, and schoolwork is once again taking over my life.

Oh yes, the main reason I was ranting is because I am taking chemistry this semester. I hate chemistry. My high school teacher was insane and I will forever be afraid of chemistry.

[AraCelebEarwen]

:eek: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :mad: STUPID THING ANYWAY!

I was chatting with a friend when the program not only quite but then wouldn't let me get back in for a good ten or so minutes and when it did let me back on everyone was gone!

I'm going to go cry in my corner now... :(

[Noldor_returned]

I'm new at this, but here goes:

That stupid crazy frog is annoying me! It isn't even a frog! It's a purple toad looking thing, that reckons it's hilarious to run away from police making idiotic noises to music. Then there's the fact that people think he's funny and cute! He wears no pants, the sick freak. I hope it dies a horrible and painful death, because it deserves to. Seriously, that is the most annoying song I have ever heard, and people have it as their ringtone. WHY??? I think that shows a supreme sign of stupidity! And now he has that annoying remix of that other song, with the same things! Rip his not-frog head off! I hear the songs too much!

[e.Blackstar]

*has a D in her English class*
I'm dead meat, seriously. :o :mad:

[Noldor_returned]

*out of context* A "d"! In english? That must have been hard to do.

[e.Blackstar]

I got an F on the study guide, and a 0 on the sonnets. :eek:

NOT COOL.

[Noldor_returned]

I have another one:

Why is it that when they give the 'M' rated warnings, they sometimes go "may contain some coarse language" or "may contain adult themes". That annoys me, because they would have had to have seen it to know whether or not it had to be M! May contain? It either does, or it doesn't, it isn't just some special once off!

[Niirewen]

I hate chemistry! It's bad enough that I'm taking it this semester, but I have to take it next semester too! I thought I was finished with chemistry after high school! And I have a huge exam tomorrow..:(

[Noldor_returned]

Now you've got me started...
I hate science!!! Fullstop, period, the end and any other ending word you can think of. Why do they teach us stuff we don't want to learn? I mean, have of it is useless, half is useful and the other half I hate. I don't want to learn it, and would rather spend the time actually doing something I wanted to learn about, like history or drama or computers. Then we have all these assignments that we have to choose the topic for, conduct an experiment on, and then I finally choose a topic, and I have to DEEPEN IT!!! What more could I have done for the crazy thing??? YAAAHH!!! I hate the subject. I think it should die a horrible and painful death, like throw it off a cliff, then shoot it several hundred times then drown it and after that run it over with a steam roller. And having crazy teachers who don't know what they're talking about doesn't help either!!!! I HATE SCIENCE!!!!

[Rhiannon]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH I HAVE A WEEK AND A HALF LEFT TO COSTUME AN ENTIRE SHOW!

...A SHOW WITH A BIG CAST!

And this week is spring break. Which means everyone is going home. Which means everyone is not in the costume shop working their rears off. I'm taking a bunch of stuff home with me, as are a couple of other people, but it's really stressful to realize that I won't be able to be on top of everything for the next week--it's vital that these things get done, and there's every chance in the world that they won't. And there will still be a ton of stuff waiting for us when we get back next week.

But on the other hand, thank God for spring break--I want to see my family's new house, and sleep for more than four or five hours, and hold a cat, and hang out with my friends, since we actually live near them now! and read something fluffy.

[Noldor_returned]

How'd that production go btw? Anyway, this has been a long time coming...

I HATE COCKROACHES!:mad: They are so creepy and are almost invincible, it's like they can't ever die out. And I have been having my own private war with them.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in Drama, when all of a sudden this baby roach came onto my shirt, which I didn't know about. Somebody said, "hey, roachman," and I was like WHAT?!?! I had cockie on my shirt! So I yanked my top off and didn't put it back on until the roach was dead, and no longer on my clothing.

Then, just the other day, a big one was on my shirt and I did the same trick, out in public on a picnic with my family and Majimaune's. I don't think anyone else saw me, but you never know. Garrr...they really reallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyreallyre ally annoy me. I kill them whenever I have the chance.

[yhwh1st]

'Roaches 'roaches 'roaches! I'm a Navy brat and my folks like to tell me about the house we lived in when I was born. It was in Fairfield, Ca. Military housing (what else?) a place called Rosavelt Terrace. Here's a little hint as to what this is about. My mom called it Roachavelt Terrace. I'm not kidding. That place was infested with roaches. And instead of bombing all the houses at once, the military would just do one house at a time. So, the roaches would just scurry from one house to the next and never die. My parents finally got fed up when they found a roach in my crib. We moved shortly thereafter.

[Goldberry344]

Real Life Rant:

At my school, girls like to be stressed during finals. So they stay in the library for days at a time and DONT SHOWER. Therefore they smell while I am trying to study.

Don't you think that one can take time out of their final paper writing time and shower? its not THAT time consuming, really.

[YayGollum]

I muchly agree but am still a bit skeptical. Are you certain that they just never showered, to begin with, and you are just now noticing because you happen to be stressing just enough to keep yourself stuck in an apparently stuffy library with several of them for longer than you are used to? oh well.

[e.Blackstar]

Finals finals finals.
Gah.

[Goldberry344]

Finals finals finals.
Gah.


seriously, the fact that i had finals deserves its own real life ranting. Smelly chicks is like beating a wounded puppy, the wounded puppy being me.

[Rhiannon]

I'm home for the summer.

The new house is smaller, and I have to share a room with my fourteen year old sister.

I need a job badly.

Last semester sucked. I had a breakdown, gained ten pounds, and got a B.

Bleh.

[Daranavo]

PFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTT!!!!

All this whining, I WISH I was back in school and had finals!!!!!!!!!

Wait until you are out there and discover REAL pressure!

*Has no spit left otherwise he would add another pfft*

[Rhiannon]

Good thing you're not bitter about it ;)

[e.Blackstar]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Anyway...

[AraCelebEarwen]

I don't even know why I'm here... I just am and you can all just put up with it for as long as it takes you to read this. Otherwise, stop now and go do something else.

*headdeskdeskdesk* I can't think, don't feel like reading, can't sleep well, don't have enough time to crash...

And I've been trying to write and really want to write for a few days now but I can't get anything down. No.. Scratch that. I can't even think of anything clearly enough nor for long enough to be put down.

I need a vacation! I only wish I could... More likely then not, it'll only end up being an in home down time day instead of the week(s) of wandering that call me.

AAAAAAAAAAAH! *kicks the wall* *runs away to curl up somewhere else*

[YayGollum]

The feeling is understandable, even though mine usually goes along the lines of ---> I have plenty of cool ideas and even time to write them down but none of the energy to transfer them to paper. Can't find a good secretary that can appreciate me enough to help me out, either. *sniff* :rolleyes: Also, sorry about this, but, at least for my more Tolkien type stories ---> I read all of the Tolkien type stuffs that I could find already. I have moved on. I stick around this place due to loyalty, at least at the moment. I plan on rereading Tolkien type stuffs once every other as well as newer interest has been given its own full attention, so, as soon as that happens, you people will probably get a lot of new and crazy ideas out of me. *runs away*

[Turin]

Relationships suck... or rather, the relationship I'm in sucks but I can't get out of it without hurting her and myself...

On the other hand, I can drive now, which makes things a whole lot easier. Gas money is hard to come by.

School starts next monday! AAAARGHH!! thats way to early. I have to go to Illinois for the remainder of this week which sucks...

Well thats about it without going into too much detail.. Life sucks for more reasons than I mentioned.

[Noldor_returned]

Yeah. Man, not many people have heard of this most probably, but I'm doing Tournament of Minds, which is basically designed to test relationships and send 7 people beyond stressed. What happens is you are givne a problem, which you have to solve over 6 weeks. In the six weeks, you have to write a script for your solution, make props and costumes and keep up with all school work. Unfortunately, people lose a lot of sleep, and so thye begin yelling at each other. I'm sort of stuck holding the team together, and there's another 3 1/2 weeks to go. Add to this all the school work of two School Certificate subjects, SRC involvement. So I'm stressing out, and once this is over I've got about 6 weeks to study for School Certificate History and Geography, then it's straight into Captaincy elections. That is non-compulsory, but no-o0ne in the school would believe it if I didn't run. And I want to.

[Saucy]

new RANT; its 2:34 in the morning. and the world seems dead. this forum seems dead, all the forums i frequent, my messenger list, my household. dead dead dead!!! i am dismayed by this because iam lonely, unable to sleep and have 1 hour and 40 minutes left of my all-night-a-thon.
Iam rediscovering myself through the magic of boredom.

[YayGollum]

My last visit to this thread was a while ago. oh well. Greetings, all. You know what's evil. You probably have a few ideas. One that you might have jumped on yet is my current home. The evil Florida and its sickeningly nice residents. Argh, yo. First of all, it's too hot. Is not now still the winter time? Maybe we're into spring, but I was definitely over here in the winter time, wearing t-shirts and sweating. Unnatural. More annoyingly, though, the humans here. So full of disgusting sunshine. Always being polite. Smiling. Ick. You can't trust them! Sure, a few could be genuinely nice, for some reason, but how could you believe that they're all as nice as they seem? This state raises my paranoid hackles.

[Rhiannon]

Well, Yay, you know what you have to do--kill them! KILL THEM ALL!

I hate school. Hate it hate it hate it, sick of it, want it to die. Except for Creative Writing and Modern Fantasy. They're okay.

Also my car died on me, which is bad, because I live off campus and I have to rely on my roommates from transportation, which is inconvenient.

[YayGollum]

*gasp!* Murder is not the way of the Outcast! I shall merely mutter about their annoying habitses. No large deal. They can be entertaining, every now as well as then. I must remain hopeful that they will follow my example. :rolleyes:

As to school, I am no expert on the horrifying problems at your school, Rhiannon person, but, sure, school is evil, except for the parts of it that I liked. :rolleyes: My Ethics class was probably my favorite, mostly because a lot of class time went to free discussions. :D

As to transportation, Garn. My overly generous aunt as well as uncle in the evil Florida are getting me to practice driving. I have never had the desire or need for a car of my own, but they insist that getting one of the expensive things is somehow important. oh well. Whee! <--- said while breaking the law by going past the speed limit, just because it's fun. :rolleyes:

[Noldor_returned]

I hope you didn't write that while driving...which brings me onto my point...

Australian driving laws suck. Or, they will suck from the first of July. Currently, Learner drivers have to only do 50 hours and one year of practise. But, the accursed people who think that this isn't enough have decided to increase the hours up to 120! That's one hour every three days, which is possible, but having to pay for driving lessons and petrol is not good, so why they can't just leave it at 100 hours even? I doubt whether from an additional 50 hours, an extra 20 on top of that will make much difference.

The reason behind it is that there have been too many P-Plate crashes and teen deaths on roads. This may be true, but if the laws were kept all these fools that drive and race their lives away will eventually be eliminated. Sure, it's cruel, but it's their choice to drive so fast and illegally. And I don't see how this will prevent the number of accidents. Sure, you'll be more experienced, but drivers are more cautious of Learners, so having more of us driving around could make a bad situation worse.

In case you were wondering, my b'day is in August, which will be when I gain my L's (hopefully).

Unrant ---> Well, at last, after two years of attempting to get the thing, I have obtained my dream job. All must go out as well as celebrate in my honor. If you didn't already read it, it's the job of the unit secretary, ward clerk, health unit coordinator, or whatever else they might call the thing where you live. Very fun. I don't understand humans who don't love hospitals. And it's a twelve hour shift in two ICUs at the same time, so I will have plenty to keep me busy. I have been beaming for no apparent reason ever since I got hired, creeping everyone out. :rolleyes:

Well done, Yay. Doesn't sound like my kind of thing, but as they say, find a job you love and you won't work a day in your life. Something we should all aspire to!

[chrysophalax]

Huge congratulations, hatchling! Too bad I had to hear about it here, rather than firsthand though...*grumble* Which hospital and which units??

[YayGollum]

Ah, I deserve little praise for such a minor accomplishment. Much higher goals should easily be expected of me, of course. Anyways, I very unfortunately didn't get the job that I was looking for (a Post Anesthesia Care Unit at Lee Memorial Hospital :( ) and ended up with some Coronary/Medical Intensive Care Units at a place called Southwest Regional Hospital. It shall be challenging and, therefore, very entertaining. Twelve hour shifts, my favorite, since I'll only have to work for a few days a week, then get to sleep in and have fun with doing nothing on days off. Mostly night shift, which gets me extra money. The two units are on different floors, which means that I'll still get plenty of exercise running up and down stairs the whole time.

[Barliman Butterbur]

...I don't understand humans who don't love hospitals.

Hospitals are no place for sick people! The rise in medical costs has actually forced a change in basic hospital architecture: Now they put the finance office right next to the recovery room...

Barley

[YayGollum]

Got it. As a Unit Secretary, that's not my fault, yo. sorry about that. *hides*

Anyways, my Rant ---> I have shuddered at the friendliness of Floridians plenty of times before, but it is only now that I have a Nemesis that embodies it! *gasp!* :rolleyes: Sure, I informed everyone to rush out and celebrate my hiring, but I am still technically in training, and mostly under this Nemesis. They probably stuck me with this guy because he's seen as so sickeningly nice. Argh. I am getting better at all of my little responsibilities, haven't had much in the way of complaints except for one thing from this one dude. ---> I have been informed that I have an attitude problem which makes me unfit for the job, in his opinion. Ick. This dude has been called sickeningly sweet (a quote) even by fellow Floridians. So, in order to get past this horrible bit of training where I would merely be working nights away from this evil, I shall have to attempt to be a horrible liar. Lots of wasting time with silly little conversational formalities. You people should know that I am delightfully anti-social. I care about professionalism before friendliness. I am never deliberately curt or rude or anything, besides maybe a bit of sarcasm. oh well. Toss me some advice, you fellow The Tolkien Forum Dot Com humans.

[Noldor_returned]

Yay, if you're about to say something you shouldn't, don't! Now onto my rant...

Why is every demographic group complaining about not being treated properly or fairly? Sure racism exists and I have no problem with that and that sort of thing, but when people take it too far or blow it out of proportion, it really gets up my nose. All those people who want to sue for people over 50 years ago calling a CHILD'S SONG Baa Baa Black Sheep, get a life. If you looked at everyone else, there are people who have it worse off than you. What would you use the money for? Personal gain? Why not donate it to people WHO REALLY NEED IT? THE WORLD DOES NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING!

And thanks to Barley for bringing my attention to the fact this problem does not lie in just humans. Animal cruelty is everywhere or so they say. People who feed their dog chicken bones WHEN THEY DIDN'T KNOW ARE A MENACE TO SOCIETY! Get outta here! People who feed their dog chicken bones it's wrong, but then when all these protestors complain about dogs eating chocolate it's so annoying. Look, if it takes a year or two off their life, does it really matter? And since when is it their problem anyway? If the owner cared, they would ask their vet or find out. LET OTHER PEOPLE RUN THEIR LIVES WITHOUT GIVING YOUR TWO CENTS WORTH! EVERYBODY IS SO DAMNED DEPENDANT MY GENERATION WILL NOT SURVIVE! Nobody knows how to do stuff. Well, some do, but not many. I'm not kidding. Some of my friends, who are over 15, do not make or pack their own lunch. WHEN WILL THEY LEARN? EVERYBODY IS BABIED IN CASE THEY CAN BE SUED OR SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS! JUST CARE LESS ABOUT THE NOT SO IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF LIFE! CARE MORE ABOUT GOOD THINGS!

[AraCelebEarwen]

I can't belive the only way for me to get on here while away from the elder's place of residence is to fork over anywhere from 2 to 5+ hard earned bucks an hour for online time!

AND I'M WILLING TO PAY IT!!! :eek:

I need a laptop!

[Noldor_returned]

I don't know if I've posted in here about my Maths teacher, but I'm just about ready to kill her. I missed the basics to parabolas, and then she tried to explain it and she couldn't. So I'm sitting there not undertsanding anything and she moves my girlfriend who was next to me doing nothing wrong. The one of my other friends moves next to me and 20 seconds later he is also moved, and he did nothing as well.

So later, she asks why I wasn't doing any work and my answer, "I don't get it. You didn't explain it properly." This was probably a mistake on my part. She tried to explain again. After looking at diagrams in the damned textbook I got it, without the stupid moles help. But after she knew I still didn't grasp it from her explanation, she asked me to go through it on a more complex one. WHY!!!

Let me give you an example of her explanation, as best I can: y=x(x-4). You have to substitute the x with a number so that y equals zero. So let's try zero. How does that work yes good *writes 0 above the first x*. Or what about 4? Does that work? Yes okay *writes 4 above the second x*.

At this point I am lost and I start asking why there were different numbers for x. And she starts saying 3 and -3 are different numbers and I'm like I know but HOW CAN 4 AND 0 BE THE SAME? So she continues on about the threes and I'm fuming YELLING BACK NO YOURE NOT LISTENING LOOK THERE YOU WROTE DIFFERENT NUMBERS ABOVE THE X's!!!! So she rubs out my evidence and says, "Just pay attention."

I almost lost it. I just sat there, and had to take all her stuff, while she moved everyone else and told me to learn from her when I have never done that.

Did I forget to mention that about a month ago I was moved from the back corner to the front corner where I couldn't see the board properly in an attempt to get me to do more work. Two lessons later I was moved to the other back corner, and a week later moved to my original position. HOW IS ANY OF THAT USEFUL?!!!!! I'm about ready to walk out....GAHAHAHHAHAHAGGG

[YayGollum]

Huh. Well, it sounds as if you know how to do the stuff, at least from the book. Her teaching method ---> Annoy them so much that they do their own research so that she won't have to waste as much time on some kid who skipped a few classes. :rolleyes: As for the moving you around stuff, I don't know. Maybe you're just too annoying, and she feels as if keeping you focused on her annoying you will keep you from messing with other students during her class time. I was never too sociable, so I wouldn't know much about that.

My Unrant ---> Ah. I, with very few video games and zero systems with games to be found anywhere but the internet, just had a craving for some old video game music (my main reason for buying any video game. I guess that a good story and entertaining characters would be next. Gameplay? What do I care?) and checked around for a bit. Yay for this internet place and people who somehow stick that music into their computers! Reminiscence. *marches off with old video game music humming*

[YayGollum]

Hm. Well, greetings, YayGollum person. Having all kinds of fun? Oh, I hope so! Ah, so delightfully anti-social! Anyways, a Rant --->

Nasssty holidays! Is that why this place is not so busy, at the moment? Sure, there are humans in countries that don't celebrate the holiday that is currently going on over here, but I have happened upon some humans in this country that enjoy paying attention to other country's holidays, for some reason. As if we didn't have enough of the things to dodge. Or is it that Transformers movie that everyone but myself is off watching? *sniff* I hope that it's horrible! :rolleyes:

[Maeglin]

I've heard that it is absolutely horrendous. That doesn't mean I won't go see it anyway, if only to relive some childhood moments.

[YayGollum]

Absolutely horrendous? Dang. And I wasn't even bumping into anyone with reservations. oh well. I didn't really want it to be horrible. I put one of the little rolling eyed dudes! And I know someone who is planning to see it before I'm planning to see it. If that person informs me that it's horrible, I probably won't see it. I understand that the stories get changed around a lot. I'd merely be hoping for loyalty to the old personalities.

Also, an edit, mostly because of an Unrant ---> Okay, so, holidays are evil and annoying, except for the part where other humans are crazily as well as uncharacteristically generous with things like food <--- *written with a happily full stomach*

[chrysophalax]

*snarl* Tired of needing surgery on my rapidly failing joints. *snarl*

As to your above post, Yay, I'm going to see Transformers Sat. night, so if you're not going before that, I'll give you a quick review. *is jealous because you probably got some of Gus's cooking*:( Lucky!

[Noldor_returned]

From what I've heard people say it's great, although I can't confirm that as I haven't seen it yet. Also, I would just like to point out that this thread has reached, in terms of pages, one gross, to use the Hobbit-term. That's a lot of ranting people.

[yhwh1st]

Araaaah! :mad: I got written up yesterday at work for forgetting to have a customer sign a credit card receipt! Sure it's not good, but it's not the end of the world either! All that sig on that slip of paper signifies is that the store is guarenteed their money. If there's no sig it doesn't mean they won't get their money! It's not like I did that on purpose either! And it was just the one time too! I don't like my job anyway and am looking for something else, but I like to think I still try hard to do a good job! I think I can honestly say that I try my hardest at everything I do.

My boss has been in a bad mood lately, most likely, because so many people keep quitting. Gee, I wonder why? I've been there since Feb and a total of five, plus one almost, have left.

Oh, oh, this gets even better! She called me in to work early (giving me a half-hour's notice!) to receive my write up and didn't want me to clock in! That's illegal! The company could have a huge law suit on their hands from that. Fortunately for her I anticipated her and clocked in before she asked that of me. If corporate found out about this it wouldn't surprise me if she got fired. I'm not one who would do that but I've never had much respect for her anyway. She is only 22 and is very immature as an 'adult'. (Nothing against 22 year olds, but most people who I have met are not very mature at that age and should not be in a position of authority where it is easy to abuse that authority.) In all honesty, the only respect I have for her is the respect due to her as my manager. I have no respect for her as a manager, just as my manager. Does that make sense?

Can you understand now why I am so infuriated? *fumes* :mad:

*wanders off in search of Looney Tunes in hopes of being cheered up*

[yhwh1st]

YayGollum started this thread and I think it's fun to remember where we started. Here's his first rant.I believe it. So does high school. So does high school people telling you to get into a college. :rolleyes:

Or here's another one of the first few.

Which is always cool. Anyways, I gots me a rant. Poor Smeagol. Now that he's out of school, his evil mom is making him get a job. He wants to stay home all day and watch TV! :rolleyes: oh well.

[YayGollum]

Argh. Humans always employing their YayGollum summons! Greetings. I wouldn't know if I ever mentioned this in this thread before, but oh well. ---> When I made my first Guild Of Outcasts at some other website, I came up with a few threads to populate it. This was the only one that remained a constant. My original Guild Of Outcasts eventually moved to some other website. The Real Life Rantings thread is the only one that is still used, pretty much. :rolleyes: When I made up the sister branch at this place, I figured that this thread would be found useful again. It seems to be the only thread to have survived the deletion of the Guild Of Outcasts. Garn, yo. This idea for a thread was merely an afterthought. What about my Middle Earth Outcasts thread or my The Place For Misunderstood Artists Who Are So Misunderstood That Even The Other Misunderstood Artists Misunderstand Them threadses? oh well. :rolleyes:

[Noldor_returned]

I think that last option as a thread title works, but only in the way it doesn't. Too many people wouldn't post just because they didn't understand what it was about.

Hmm I believe I have mentioned somewhere in this thread about my abysmal maths teacher. Well one of the last topics we did was parabolas, and we finally had a test on it today. So of course half of us didn't know it because the teacher of course, can't teach. I tried learning it myself, but it didn't get me anywhere. Anyway, the point is about 2/3 of the class didn't know what they were doing and so failed. I got 6/14 right...the lowest mark was 3...the highest was 12. And just to make matters worse, there was YET ANOTHER LETTER SENT HOME OVER HOLIDAYS!!! I was extremely annoyed at this as we'd been given some holiday homework already.

Don't believe she can't teach? We're doing surface area and volume. Out of 4 questions done as a class she's gotten 2/4 correct and we're on 4/4. One she didn't know what she was doing, so myself and a friend set to work working out the answer. And surprise surprise, we cracked it before her. Somebody tell me that we don't need a teacher.

[yhwh1st]

AAAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM SO FRUSTRATED WITH MY DAD RIGHT NOW! I MEAN, SIS AND I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN CLOSE TO MUCH OF HIS FAMILY, IT DOESN'T EVEN REALLY SEEM AS IF THEY REALLY CARE IF WE'RE AT FAMILY GATHERINGS EITHER! AND FOR HIM TO GIVE US HUGE GUILT TRIPS JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GET WHAT HE WANTS! MAKING MY SISTER FEEL HORRIBLE FOR TELLING HIM SHE'S NOT COMFORTABLE AROUND HIS FAMILY BECAUSE THEY IGNORE HER...IS...I....ARRRRRAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

(thank you YayGollum. I feel a little better.)

[YayGollum]

As a matter of course, yhwh1st person. As for family troubles, I have no problems with merely forgetting about them.

A Rant as well as an Unrant ---> Okay, so I finally broke down and bought myself a Nintendo Revolution (also called Wiis, but I prefer the old name). Who cares? So what? I'm still an evil miser. It's not my fault. One of my old roommates bought one when they first came out and eventually persuaded me to play this one game on it. She moved away before I had a chance to finish the game, though. For a while, I said, "No large deal. Mayhaps I shall rent the system as well as the game, merely to get the thing finished."

I forgot about it, but when a craving to finish the game arrived, I called some rental type places and found that they no longer rent video game systems. How long has that been going on? I remember renting a Nintendo Sixty-Four, at one point, I believe. oh well. I shrugged and uttered, "Oh, okay. I do not require that particular video game. I have others on my old PlayStation One. Those can satisfy me, if ever I feel like playing a video game." But, after playing the few PlayStation One games that I own, the craving came back with a previously unknown intensity.

With my evil miserliness, I took to prowling the game stores that I knew of. Glaring at the sought-after game, but mostly at the empty shelves where the system to play it on should have been. I may have mentioned a passing interest in the product to a few of my more internet savvy relatives, as well as the desire to learn how to order the thing via such mysterious lanes, but mayhaps my hints were too subtle, my desire too guarded. oh well.

After much growling and whimpering, I finally began calling game stores, merely to find that they were no longer ordering or reserving the things for anybody. First arrived, first placated, I guess. And myself, with zero game stores within walking distance (or a car)! I got the thing, though, when somebody suggested calling some store I had never heard of. That place had it. I am now playing the game. It's cool. But ---> Garn! What shall I do once it's over? Miserliness is good! I'll have little use for the thing, when I'm done. oh well. :rolleyes:

[yhwh1st]

As a matter of course, yhwh1st person. As for family troubles, I have no problems with merely forgetting about them.
Ah. But this is something that is brought to mind every time I see or talk to my dad. And he calls all the time. It's one of those things that seems to never be very far from my mind. Grrr! Don't get me wrong. I Love my dad more than I can ever say. I'm just so angry and frustrated with him anymore. You have no idea how sad that makes me. :(

[YayGollum]

Argh, yo. Roommates. I've had awesome and horrible ones before. Here is the current rant: Had one for a while, got along well enough. He decided that we should move into a bigger and nicer place with three rooms, after a while. Not so that we'd pay less by finding a third person. He just wanted a prettier place. I merely look for a roof, but I went along with his idea because I am made out of mellow. He assured me that we'd be able to find a third roommate easily, since the place was so nice looking.

Some annoying episode with some other roommate later, we got another. He was much quieter and seemed at least halfway decent, but I guess he found a better place or something and decided to leave. He attempted to hand my crazy roommate what rent money he owed for the time he'd stayed, but the guy got mad, picked up the other guy's computer, and threw it at him. I was at work at the time. I guess the guy dodged the computer, but it and a door got broken, and my roomate was tossed in jail.

He's been in there for a while now, and I am getting tired of paying all of this money for a place that's too big for myself. That guy isn't getting out of jail anytime soon (there were other things that he was wanted for, I guess). I am looking idly at other places to live, but I'm kind of on a lease that'll keep me here for nine more months. I suppose that I should look for another roommate. The crazy one is on the lease as well, and I wouldn't know how to get him off of it. Ideally, I'd get out of this lease and move out of this horrible state of Florida. :rolleyes:

[Echo]

If you have an understanding landlord, you might be able to get the crazy roommate removed, at his cost and not yours. Also, breaking a lease, depending on what state you live in, can be easy or hard. I broke a lease at an apartment (I lived there by myself, so there was no one staying on at the place) and wasn't charged a dime. But I think that's unusual. In any event, though, you're not without options. Just be glad you weren't home at the time! :eek:

[YayGollum]

My landlady does seem quite nice. I'd be more worried about that crazy roommate coming after me for revenge. Towards getting out of the lease myself, from what I have seen, it would be easiest if I could find some people who'd like to move in as I move out. The landlady just needs to be making money off of the place. Of course, that doesn't work for the horrible as well as evilly self-centered and anti-social sorts. :rolleyes: But oh well.

I've been working for a year at this place, so I should look decent towards most places that'd be hiring for my position. But! ---> Would I have to commit to some cool city and move there and get a place and everything, then hope for the best on lots of interviews over there... Or! ---> Are there such things as interviews over the phone? That would be fairly awesome, but I would think that the face-to-face sorts are more likely to work. :rolleyes:

[Echo]

There are such things as phone interviews. I have done them before, and I know of people being hired just by their resume, references, and a phone interview. It's not unheard of. :)

[Barliman Butterbur]

Today I am in a terrible state.

One of our closest friends is dying from TWO kinds of cancer. We are going to be celebrating his birthday in a few days.

My wife is suffering from mysterious and severe pelvic pain, and we don't know why. We'll be seeing the doctor in a few days, and I just hope her medical coverage will suffice to solve the problem.

I snapped a tendon in my finger, had surgery, and will need therapy to recover its use to whatever degree might be possible.

There's more, but that's enough for one rant. :(:mad:

Barley

[YayGollum]

Go for another, then. Which finger is messed up? The ring finger of your least used hand seems like the best one. And how was the birthday party? Or has it not happened yet? I would think that it would be an especially good party.

My own rant: Well, I talked at my landlady, and I was correct. I gots to find out where humans congregate and attempt to advertise my place to them. I don't have to worry about my roommate. Now, who knows where all of the great hospitals with tiny one bedroom apartments, great restaurants, libraries, and at least one bookstore within walking distance are? Or at least all of that stuff but without the within walking distance part, but with a decent bus system instead? I'm looking at Washington. Not only because it has always seemed like a cool place, but also because it is very far away. :rolleyes:

[chrysophalax]

Actually, hatchling, you can apply to most hospitals on their website where they'll ask you to fill out a resume. After that, they usually decide on a personal interview after they weed out all the undesirables.

Wow, Barley, what a string of bad luck! I certainly hope you had a good hand surgeon, that tendon stuff can be very tricky. As to your wife, as you know it could be a myriad of things but I'm glad you're not some of those people who think it'll all "just go away". Think positive!

[YayGollum]

A continuance: My landlady has annoyed me. She said that she'd find out about dealing with getting my jailed roommate out of the lease. She called back and was only able to tell me that, no, I am not allowed to throw his stuff out. She recommends that I put it in storage or hand it to some of his relatives or something, then stay here and find new roommates. Sure, while those are options, she didn't find the information I asked for. I wanted to know how I could get out of here as soon as possible. I wouldn't be able to do that if my roommate is still on the lease.

She told me that he signed some alias of his on the lease, but she's not sure if that counts or not, and that I would have to deal with it in some court. Sure, I can understand why she would wish to stay out of problems which could be dealt with merely by her tenants, but I informed her that I wouldn't be able to live here for much longer. Seems like she should know what to do about getting rid of someone who can't pay his rent. She says that she'll call me back.

My options now seem to be staying here, trying to pay all of the bills by myself, calling the jail to see when my roommate might come back, if he doesn't, I'll just have to stay here and look for roommates, either lying to them about the sort of person who might come back from jail at any moment or telling the truth and having most people decline the offer of having such a person for a roommate, if he does come back, I'll have to deal with his craziness and lack of money for all kinds of things again and will still have to look for other roommates to pick up slack.

Or! ---> I put his stuff in storage or hand it over to somebody who knows him, I advertise this condo out and get someone to take over my lease, and I move to some tiny and cheap place in some more habitable state with no hurricanes coming for me. But for that, my landlady would have to get that other roommate off of the lease. Why would I deal with court type things? That stuff is expensive and time consuming. *sigh*

I am sitting around, hoping for good news from my landlady. If none arrives, what is my plan? Staying here until the money runs out is what she wants me to do, apparently. Or, at least, finding some new roommate to help me out. One who won't mind living with the other one when he ever gets back. Or, most preferably but still quite unlikely, finding two people who wouldn't mind dealing with the guy while I run away. How's about I just wait for her to call me back with whatever information she's got, and if it isn't so great, I'll tell her that I can pay for one more month, then I won't be able to afford it anymore. She'd prepare herself for finding new tenants, I'd prepare myself for finding a better place, and I guess that she'll have to deal directly with the problem of my roommate. :confused: oh well.

Check this out, Yay...it might give you someplace to start from. Also, my advice would be to get hold of your roomie's friends/family/anyone who knows him and get his stuff out. Then call a local legal aid counselor (they're free) and see what needs to happen to get him to sign off on the lease. Thereafter, if you have to stay there, check out your next roomie thoroughly!

[Narya]

I'm sick of my life... :(

[YayGollum]

Sick of life? But life is that which doles out opportunities! A sickness is a problem to be solved! Solving problems is a pleasant distraction! Yay for the joy of yet another intelligent solution! <--- The statement once the goal is reached. No? oh well.

Unrant ---> After almost a month up in this new place, I've only gotten one interview. They told me that my references said all kinds of nice things, that they'd like to hire me, that they have a need for unit secretaries, but the budget has no room for more. This could be a lie. I am not sure. I shall keep trying. In the meantime, though, I have lots of time off for checking out the decent restaurants in the area. I just had me some good potatoes. *pats belly* :D

ha ha ha. Doles out opportunities, ha? Hmmm... I'm waiting for mine. So far, all that I have are problems. Solving problems would be easier if there were actual solutions or options that I could choose from. Here, right now, I have neither, and so I hate life.

But, hooray for the Internet and imaginary friends that I can mingle and play with. :D

What kind of potatoes? How were they cooked? I love potatoes, too, baked with lots of garlic and herbs. Yummm...

[YayGollum]

They were composed primarily of awesome. The menu didn't advertise specifics. They were boiled, smashed, then combined with the powers of garlic and pepper. A wonderful texture. They left plenty of lumps and skin in there. I hate it when they puree the things. I usually add my own pepper, but these people knew what they were doing, so I left it alone.

Towards Ranting, though, I'm not imaginary. You are, most likely. *eyes dart about suspiciously* Well, at least I know that the Firawyn person isn't imaginary. :rolleyes:

You sound imaginary, do you know that? Even when we're chatting, you sound EXACTLY the way you type-which is scary sometimes. I'm wondering if you act like that in real life--guess I'll have to ask Fir for the details.

I not imaginary. You have heard me more than once, T. :p

[YayGollum]

Yes, but the government! It possesses technology that I do not comprehend! Probably stuff that they've even kept out of the science fiction novels and films! You know, they are good buddies with the lizard men who live under Earth's crust. Those gray aliens are lies. Hm. But why would they wish to deceive me? Why attempt (but fail!) to make me think that the Narya lady (and probably the others, too) is real? To distract me from something else? *quickly logs off*

You know, they are good buddies with the lizard men who live under Earth's crust. Those gray aliens are lies. Hm. But why would they wish to deceive me? Why attempt (but fail!) to make me think that the Narya lady (and probably the others, too) is real? To distract me from something else? *quickly logs off*

Why is it always about lizards? Don't you think that the cockroaches infesting the planet could very well be aliens? It seems impossible to completely erase them from the planet, which means they are smarter than we think they are.

And I am real. Just too poor to travel. :(

*notices that he is still here* Dang. oh well. What? I like lizards. And something that's been hanging out under our feet for a while is more interesting than aliens. Anyways, if cockroaches are aliens, then what are lobsters? Merely arthropods that happen to be quite similar to some super intelligent insectoid aliens? Or should we be more focused on the lobsters hiding out in the ocean, where they hold their grand councils? Cockroaches would merely be the spies? Argh, distraction. You wouldn't travel even if you had the money. You've got relatives to tend to. Ugh. Or would you have to bring them all along?

Lobsters holding grand councils? ROTFLOL! Well, okay, I'll admit that they do look like something spawned from Saturn, but using annoying insects like roaches as spies isn't exactly smart. They get swatted the second someone spots them. I swat them several times until every tissue and limb has disintegrated from their hideous carcasses.

As for the traveling, I would travel if I Had the means to ... if only to see that you are a real person and if you really speak this way in real life :p... but yes, I would love to see places outside of this small, typhoon-ridden country. I want to see Florence, Athens, Ireland, and the Swiss alps which I heard are no longer that snowy thanks to global warming.

I don't have to bring all the relatives with me. Maybe just the monster.

But, oh well, RANT MODE ON: I don't have that luxury! RANT MODE OFF.

Then again, there are millions of people who can't afford water or food, so, I'm still good.

Ah, so you prove my point! Cockroaches are not especially intelligent. Lobsters don't seem especially intelligent, either. But still. There could be some alien overlord of the ilk of Ender's Formics that's merely absorbing all kinds of information from the things before they are swatted or boiled and served with potatoes.

I made a rant came full circle. :rolleyes:

Anyways, if you had all kinds of crazy money, wouldn't it make more sense to just have someone bottle the air from the location and mail it to you, along with some famous chef of the region, that you might savor its flavors? What more do you need? But for humans that you're looking for, yes, it is best to speak in real life.

Potatoes with roaches? hmmm....

Okay, this one didn't make sense... but then again... oh, nevermind!
