I like how when you do something to someone almost randomly, it is justified as a conversation starter, but when they do it back to you, it is audacity.

Mir · 02-09-2007, 05:36 AM

That is exactly my point. And then you complain that they start being agressive, when you're the one who started it in the first place.

MollyMac · 02-09-2007, 05:46 AM

It's like a pissy tangent to Munchausen(sp?) Syndrome

Mir · 02-09-2007, 05:47 AM

haha. MollyMac, are you the only normal/rational person on this board?

MollyMac · 02-09-2007, 05:51 AM

Nah, but apparently I am an easily offended, elitist bitch. *rolls eyes*. Everything's great until you say something no one wants to hear.

So, well... yeah. One of the few, the proud, the silently smirking and of drinking age.

Ah, now this pleases an old man, to see such comraderie amongst some of the most civilized, cultured and sometimes cynical of Gnet: Morrigan, Mir, and MollyMac. It be no coincidence that ye three share the same letter of your first name, for kindered spirits you be!

Even though my sundial sleepily shows only 11:06 in the morning, I too raise my glass to you three, my glass of deep and dark purple Concord Grape Juice, of Welch in its royal origin, and drink a haughty toast in your honor. And no, this is not sarcasm, but genuine admiration and affection. May our darkened and tall hallways forever echo with your words and laughter despite the tassled and dusty velvet curtains of Burgundy here in the House of Gnet.

(clink, gulp)

That was beautiful. *raises glass, wipes tear from cheek*

Very nice.

Damn psychiatry is overbooked and understaffed. Doctor wants me to see someone about the voices I hear as I'm falling asleep. And I have to get used to a new medication cuz the paxil wasn't working. I've gone nocturnal again, and I'm trying to fix it but it's really difficult. I have to fix it though because I have a slide test tomorrow in Art History and I CAN"T CAN"T CAN"T sleep through it.

You asked about the voices in Randomness, and I'm not sure if you got a chance to read my response... If you need to talk, email me at xnguelax @ ya-something dot com.

It WAS meant as a conversation starter...and i made sure i was courteous and polite...If people choose to react aggressively, then so be it...

LaBelleDameSansMerci · 02-13-2007, 04:48 AM

Personally, I say if the guy decides to be stupid, just let him be stupid. It's his problem... But then again, I've given up on humanity, so I probably shouldn't say anything...

Augh, I have that stupid slide test today, and I'm fucking tired. I need sleep. Why do I have to go nocturnal NOW? why not during reading week when I won't have any classes to sleep through? and won't have to worry about missing them while trying to readjust my sleep? I can't do this. I won't be able to finish my art project, and I'll fail. I'll fail out of art, and then where will I be? I'm too lazy to do anything. I even have issues with getting out of bed sometimes. I hate this. I hate how I have no self-control, how I don't have enough willpower to actually study for my slide test, instead of fucking around on here. I hate how I can't reset my sleep schedule cuz I can't stay awake longer than about 18 hours, but can't sleep more than an average of about 5 or 6. I hate how I'm bored of everything. EVERYTHING. I just don't really care. I do things cuz they distract me, not cuz I enjoy them or because I need them for some future thing. I'm on my third type of medication. It'd better work, cuz I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't. *frustration* I'm a complete fuck-up... Sorry.

Well, a week ago I went to the doctor because I was on my period for two weeks.

Bad enough already.

He checked me, as best he could, and beside a lot of pain when he pressed on parts of my stomach, turned up nothing.

He immediately told me to go to a gynecologist, hopefully because I admitted that I'd never had a pap smear, which I didn't even know I was due for.

But he used the words horrible death.

Which scared the motherfucking shit out of me. And I'm a feminist, I don't use that word lightly. But I was so terrified, it made it even harder to make an appointment (which I did, and it's sooner than I expected).

What kind of doctor uses the words 'horrible death'? I'm not really afraid of death, but I fear pain very much. I'd rather get shot in the head than die a 'horrible death'.

PersephoneX · 02-14-2007, 06:01 AM

Horrible death?!?!? that's actually a bit funny...i mean, our family doctor's a bit of a looney...so that would be hilarious to hear out of HIS mouth...but still, pretty scary.

Morrigan_Dubh · 02-14-2007, 06:25 AM

I think it's fair to use "horrible death". sometimes putting that kind of fear into people is the only way to get them to look after themselves. Like quitting smoking or going for a smear test.

I watched as someone in my family died of lung cancer. It is a horrible death.

MollyMac · 02-14-2007, 11:40 AM

Morrigan is right, the phrasing is a scare tactic to get you to do what you need to do. It's not dishonest, usually. Th eproverbial fire under one's ass.

Panther · 02-14-2007, 01:30 PM

Yeah, but the problem is, it made me even more afraid to call in. I would have done it anyway, but causing undue hyperventilation is not necessarily the best way to motivate someone to get something done. Getting over the fear of even going to this appointment is going to be a million times harder than it would have been originally.

Morrigan_Dubh · 02-15-2007, 05:09 AM

Meh..the truth hurts, hunny. Suck it up.

BLEED REBELION!!! · 02-15-2007, 07:16 AM

AHHHH this makes me mad what the hell does my "happieness" levle have to do with my "gothyness"? So two of the younger girls at my school are haveing problems with other people talking about them, so the teacher that is trying to solve the problem tells them that they just have to deal with it that people are gonna talk bad about them forever. The teacher says " I mean look at Amani every one talks about her but she doesnt care". And really I dont care if they talk about me it just proves that they have no life so they must talk about mine, but then the teacher goes "at least Amani's a some what happy "goth"". AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH what the hell does that mean no matter how many times I explain retards still think most goths are depressed GAWD.

Panther · 02-15-2007, 10:19 AM

Well, it is a common assumption. It's just something we all have to deal with. I've been called much worse than 'a somewhat happy goth' based on my appearance.

It sucks, but in the end, the only real solution is to either ignore it, or dress 'normally'.

How about an option C?

C) A verbal lashing.

LaBelleDameSansMerci · 02-15-2007, 04:24 PM

It's the cultural associations with black, I think. In the West, black is for funerals. Personally I like white for funerals.

K, this isn't really a rant, but I went nuts last night and had a shower in my pjs, alternately laughing hysterically and bawling my eyes out. I have to apologize to my bathroom mate cuz I left water all over the floor and probably woke her up.

Mir · 02-15-2007, 04:27 PM

LBDSM, why would you do that?

HumanePain · 02-15-2007, 04:30 PM

I too confess curiosity and concern...why indeed?
