To those people, learn to slow the fuck down. It is a funeral procession, have some fucking respect. You may not know them but be courteous, slow down and quit trying to cut in. Because when idiot drivers pull in the procession it is hard for the rest to keep up so we can all arrive to the cemetary to pay our last respects.

I was in amazement today how many inconsiderate people felt to need to cut in, completely ignore the police assistance. Unbelievable.

The exact same thing happened to me back in May when I had my little brother's funeral. Asshats kept cutting in and out of the funeral procession like they are the "King of all Cosmos" or something. I wanted to rain death upon them with the unmitigated fury of a superbeing composed of half Charles Bronson (circa Death Wish 3") and half T-1000 (the evil amorphous Terminator from Terminator 2).

That sort of thing makes me lose more faith in humanity

Did you get their numberplates? *grins evily*.. That wouldve been fucked

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-13-2005, 08:42 PM

See what you get for losing your voice for a week or two?

You get suspended on your second day at your new school for bitchslapping a freakin' nun.

I hate St Bridigine's Catholic Girl's College. ....I moved there in hope that my fears of bullying stops, but now the teachers there are close minded gits who don't want to hear an opinion, only slightly negative about Jesus.

They thought I was mocking the nun by putting a *satanic* voice on, For fuck's sake, I have pharyngitus, I can't talk in a different tone.

And I was simply stating that the bible is biased, so the nun went on and on and on about how I was wrong and then she somehow managed to insult Buddhism..

My parents are Buddhists so I got fuckin' offended and I bitchslapped her.

Now I'm sitting on the computer wallowing in my own shame and anger whilst talking to the lovely Gnetters.

ack....

Rant Ends Here, thank you for fuckin' listening.

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-13-2005, 08:46 PM

Thinking back, Dear Xng.....It's pretty humorous to think about....Getting suspended for bitchslapping a nun. Pah!

rockandrose · 12-13-2005, 08:50 PM

Demonista, in year seven, I criticised the bible in front of the whole class and got a crowd of shocked looks. Luckly, my teacher at the time wasn't so cruel and simply told me to not talk about the religion in a negative way again.

Catholic schools promote the religion. They do get offended when the religion promoted by the school is criticised.

Babe, you shouldn't feel bad for expressing your opinions. The nun shouldn't even have said such things to you.

Now give me a smile.

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-13-2005, 08:55 PM

I'm not going to shave my head but I'm cutting my hair soon!.... And you keep speaking of this sausage incident!

Rose: *smiles* That post made me feel a whole lot better, thanks love.

dreamforthedead · 12-13-2005, 09:05 PM

Demonista, I dont say this often (and mean it) but you, you *tear* YOUR MY HERO!! I wish I bitchslapped a nun. My Mum is Buddist so I know how you feel. Here have a flower @->---

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-14-2005, 12:21 AM

My question is - how do the nuns know exactly what Satan's Voice sounds like? Is there an Intro to Nunnery 101 class that exposes them to the various vocal inflections of said Hell Beast, or do they know from personal experience? Maybe you could ask them that. Because you know, if they can't prove that they personally know what The Devil's Voice sounds like, then is it fair to punish you for sounding like The Lord of the Flies? And if they do know, how?

Well there you go, Demonista - your new band name can be inspired by this!

The Devil's Schoolgirl. Baal's Baby. Voice of the Demon. Girls Slapping Nuns?

Voz de Diablo!

i'm curious, why would Buddhist parents send their kid to a Catholic school. i'm Catholic and i wouldn't even want to go.

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-14-2005, 12:43 AM

The most angry, bitter, and secretly guilt-ridden folkses I have ever known have all been former Catholics.

It scares me. Please keep the Nuns away...

tekajo · 12-14-2005, 12:48 AM

i'm angry sometimes...as well as bitter but i dont have many guilts.

Angry at the moment because i'm stuck on www.geeks.com trying to get some customer assistance to return a powersupply but it seems i'm lost in an endless loop. Tech support page -> Customer Assistance page -> Tech Support page and on and on..fuck!

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-14-2005, 12:49 AM

Ooohhh...ever try canceling service from AOL?

tekajo · 12-14-2005, 12:54 AM

No, but i watched my best friend do it once. It took her three days to finally get it done...then they fucked up her checking account somehow. That took another week to get fixed.

AOHell. Indeed.

horrorgirl · 12-14-2005, 07:56 AM

I have been up for 28 hours and in less than two hours I have to go to a class for work. In the last five days I have worked 56 hours and I will probably get over 50 hours of overtime this month. I work with the developmenatlly disabled so my job involves cleaning up body fluids,among other things. I love the clients I work with but I wish that all of them could control their damned body functions. After having to clean up endless amounts of poo in the last week I never want to have a bowel movement ever again.

I plan on going to college within the year so there is a light at the end of the tunnel........I'm just soooooooo tired all of the time....GRRRRRRRR.......

You did the right thing. Anyone stupid enough to get involved with meth like that has no business raising children.

Empty_Purple_Stars · 12-14-2005, 10:11 AM

Amen to that..

Tweakers are bad enough.. But Tweakers with CHILDREN should be sterilized..

That one hits too close to home for me..

You did do the right thing Santarea..

TeapotScar · 12-14-2005, 05:18 PM

So... I've got a rant. Topic? Feminists. And libel.

So some of you might be familiar with groups like www.facebook.com or www.myspace.com. If not, whatever- not a big loss. They're communities for people to post profiles and join groups. So I joined a group on facebook, which is a college-based site, so it was a college-based group. This group was about the feminists on my campus, and how they seem to have gotten out of control. I posted on the group page about how I think feminism is going too far by calling for equality for women in the military, and that this can be outright dangrous, since women are physically and biologically not as capable. Like, women are totally just a smart, but I know from experience- I run everyday for an hour, and my boyfriend just sits around and eats all day, and yet he could still out run me, NO problem, by a *significant* amount. And that was my basic point about women in the military. I said a few other jabs at feminism, tongue firmly planted in cheek, like about how "thanks to feminists, I'm now forced into the workplace!" And like, *obviously* satirical jabs like that.

But then the feminist magazine came out. With an article. That used my name. Their jabs? Not so satirical, not so funny, and *very* personal. And I quote:

"Don’t worry though, honey, because people won’t hold you to high standards. You’ll probably find some dead-end job (secretary, librarian, nurse) and stick it out there for a couple of years, never seeing a promotion or pay raise. Once you’ve wowed the boss with you spaghetti and meatballs (you’ve really perfected those), you can sleep with him and he will take care of you and you won’t have to work anymore. You’ll need him, for your pay is about 25% less than what Larry, the other library, a perv who slurps at you by the reference desk, makes."

This particular excerpt does not use my name, but much of it, believe me, does. And I find it disgusting that this could be published on SCHOOL FUNDED paper. Like, holy shit.

I'll start by simply saying that her pain is genuine. The fevers, bleeding and throwing up is real. The inibility for her to eat or sleep is very real. I was there every day and saw it get worse and worse. I was shocked, scared, and completely powerless. She suffers from three major health issues and none of them have a cure. All three of them individually make the body attack itself in a painful manner. When combined they become something that I simply would not have the strength to endure. I am really ashamed of anyone who has trivialized what she has endured for the last 16 years - including myself.

I can't defend some of the decisions she's made - in fact some I don't think I can ever forgive. I know there are others that feel even more strongly than I do - whether it's totally justified or not. All I can say is I tried. And I know that she tried. Circumstances and our own fears of conflict and our weaknesses and her severe illness pushed us onto a devastating path of... I dont even know what to call it.

When everything first came crashing down I was desperate for understanding. I totally broke down. I've never broken down in my entire life - I didnt even think I was capable of such a loss of control - but there it was. For weeks and weeks. It still happens. In my reaching out I talked to people I thought I could trust - I talked to people I knew I shouldnt trust. I asked questions I shouldn't have asked and got answers I shouldn't have been given. So many different versions - so many half truths from all sides. In the end I had to piece it all together on my own - sort through truth - sort through the lies and misinformation. In the end I learned that no one was completely honest with me - not one single person. The vultures were circling overhead and saw blood. Rumors became facts and, according some stuff I've recently read, it hasn't stopped. It's sad really - from all parties involved in this terrible drama. The last couple months have changed me forever and I've learned a lot about who I can trust. Sadly it's a very short list.

We may not be together anymore but she is still my friend. I don't care who doesn't approve. I see a very good friend of mine who's walked a dark path for too long and is in need of help. I see a good friend who I've hurt and who has hurt me but deserves a chance to try and make right some of what has gone so wrong. I see a good friend who's realizing just how far gone she's become and is trying to reach back. I see a good friend who wants to live. I see a good friend who without intervention is going to die.

I can't let that happen. Not to her. Not to any of my friends. Not even the friends so full of hate and impatience that they cannot see but one side of the story. Not even to my friends that would judge and label me harshly for not reacting the way they think I should. I don't have many friends but all them have my loyalty for life. It is both my greatest strength and my greatest weakness.

And for my own rant: I want the public drama over all of this to stop. Every time you guys think you are stabbing each other you're just stabbing me. I'm the guy in the middle trying to make sense of it all so I can do the right thing. Everytime one side tries to plunge a knife in the other it goes through me first - I'm begging you please stop. You may think me wrong, or that I'm making a mistake, or you may even hate me but please if there is any respect there at all - I ask that you keep negative comments and rants centered around our circle private.

i just saw this.

whoa.

just... whoa.

They sent me there because they wanted their "unruly" daughter to have some discipline...

There's no such thing as 'Buddhist Schools' in Sydney anyway, and that makes me frown.

rockandrose · 12-14-2005, 10:27 PM

Tekajo, in Australia, there are a lot of students who aren't even of Catholic origin, yet they attend Catholic Schools, it's normal really. Apparently, Catholic Schools are supposed to be more educated than public non-Catholic Schools.

tekajo · 12-14-2005, 11:21 PM

Ah, thanks for the information Demonista and Rose.

There are several private Catholic schools around where i live, i'm glad i went to a lowly public school. Each time we competed in the same knowledge oriented arena, we ( really i ) always kicked their lil asses.
