Rant Thread II

[Murder.Of.Crows]

I haven't had a cigarette in a while and I feel like I want to burn the world. Peoples voices are fucking annoying and condescending. Fuck, I don't want to do YOUR damn housework, quit bitching and do it your fucking self.

[Haejin]

Sol thanks for asking. Just hit a rough patch yesterday with the bf. but today is def. better.

[Valhalla]

^ Glad to hear today is better.

Does anyone else in the family (mother, sisters, aunts) have any of these issues?

Can you get check out by the doctor?

What sort of sick were you feeling? Was it your body getting used to non sugary stuff?

Jin sorry to hear you are going thru a bad patch.

I have no idea why, but there was a lot of fiber. Brown rice + tofu + a bunch of vegetables in a brown pita shell.

It was similar to cramps mixed with a wave of lethargy (but I'm not on my period, and there was none of the results of an upset stomach that come with my period cramps), and a ridiculous craving for sugar. So I ate some "yogurt" covered pretzels and my body fixed itself.

I ate leftovers of the rice mixture this morning (... it was good, okay? And I wasn't sureee it was what made me sick) and felt okay, so it was hopefully a one off thing.

Weird though.

My brother was like that the first time he had my black bean burgers. To speak nothing of the horror of my first week as a vegan D:

[Solumina]

It could be that your body has difficulty processing gluten or even specific grains, not necessarily an intolerance but just something where large quantities could make things a little unhappy. When you had leftovers did you have as much as you did before?

Interesting. Could have just been a once off thing - if your body isn't used to that much fibre it could have just been having conniptions. Sounds like you just put your body into a tailspin.

Maybe just watch out next time you eat something high in fibre and see if you get the same reaction.

Sounds like your body was just saying "Vahalla what the heck are you doing to me? Making me eat this healthy stuff for a change? I need some sugars now!"

MissC Sorry to hear about the meds...screw dropping dress sizes, just go for fit and healthy.

Grr, now my grandmother hates me just because I refuse to follow that damn old moronic policy of "don't talk back to your parents". I'm just fucking expected to respect my mother unquestioningly while she is free to disrespect me. Even though my grandmother and mother don't respect each other at all, hell half the time I'm stuck being the middle man in their arguments because my mother doesn't want to talk directly to my grandmother, so I'm stuck doing the whole "tell them that I said yada yada". Even though far too often I hear my grandmother doing the damn fucking asshole thing of threatening to take away my mother's inheritance when she doesn't do things my grandmother's way.

Well fucking excuse me for refusing to be the sort of person who just hates someone, rather than confronting the person and trying to solve the fucking problem. Excuse me for getting pissed off when my own mother refuses to listen to me.

With that she's undoubtedly going to rally my mother's side of the family against me, so hey there goes another group of people I care about, one fucking step closer to being a damn hermit. Makes me feel like the only way I can make everyone happy is if I blow my fucking brains out in front of everyone, since nobody wants to be around me while I'm still alive.

Seems like the more I give a damn about everyone, the less they want me around. They just tell me to go away, or hang up on me. Seems like I have two options, to be a hermit, and/or die.

[Fruitbat]

Ren darling, I want you around and I'm not blowing smoke up your ass.

Hey you and me, we can have nearby caves and be hermits together. :-D We can invite Timeless over for sword fish battles.

Stay strong dude.

Fuckin' families hey?

When a friend says to you "Don't let me be alone with Will because I will do unspeakable things that will make me hate myself in the morning" the proper thing to do is to not let that friend be alone with Will. The incorrect thing to do is fall asleep on the futon, complain about said friend and Will talking while you are trying to sleep and telling them to take their conversation into the other room and "close the fucking door", especially when the only room with a door is the bedroom.

Thank god I'm even more of a fucking control freak when I'm drunk and Will is a decent enough guy that neither of us allowed anything besides cuddles to happen.

Well, Dad's gone. At least he's not suffering any more. Now its our turn to feel sorry for ourselves.

[Murder.Of.Crows]

I'm so sorry for your lose Ape.

[MissCheyenne]

Sorry for your loss Ape. Hugs.

[Jaye Jang]

Had sad stuff stuck in my brain today. It's Mother's Day. I have to work. Can't see my family because they're working today, too. My mom died two years ago. Worried about my adoptive 'mom' because she had to have surgery. Totally bummed today.

BTW Ape, sorry about your loss.

Lost my dad 3 years ago and my mom on Thanksgiving the year before last. (My dad was understandable because he was ill. My mom was unexpected. She was tough as nails, but then she fell and hit her head...). That's why I haven't been posting much on Gmail lately. Still coming to terms with that.

[Solumina]

I'm so very sorry to hear that AD, if you want to talk please drop me a pm.

*hugs*Well I'm not sure if you believe in anything, but I'll pray for him if that's alright. I can't really provide much insight into what it is to lose a father, nor do I relish the thought of gaining such insight through direct experience. I can only imagine what you're going through, and with such imagined pain in mind I give you my condolences.

If you don't mind my asking(I'm hopeful such a question as this might even serve to be helpful to you in moving past the pain), I assume you already have the funeral planned out, if so what is to become of your father's remains.

[Solumina]

One of the pool techs just offered to pierce my nipples, how does that even approach be something appropriate to say to a coworker?

Super big hugs for you darling. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

I know it's hard babe, but you are strong and resiliant. Celebrate his life as much as you can, it will ease the pain (well it did for me).

[ape descendant]

Thanks you guys.

Well, Mother's Day is over and I'm glad. Don't have my mom this year so that's hard. Still too soon. I still go and start to buy her a card, because I forget. The worst thing about the holiday is that it brings out the nasties in my family. (Everybody's still playing the blame game, i.e. whose fault is it this year that we don't have mom anymore -- because she fell and hit her head. So, it was my fault because I should've been momsitting that day even though my mom even felt like I shouldn't have to spend every weekend sitting around with an older lady watching the Weather Channel. And it was my sister's fault for leaving the room for a few minutes, and it was my brother's fault for calling her or she wouldn't have gotten up to answer the phone, and it was my other sister's fault for insisting on putting the blasted throw rug by the radiator -- and on and on and on). Maybe someday we will all get over the massive guilit trips and finally get to the point where we'll just realize that it wasn't anybody's fault. Mom was getting on and yes she was a fall risk, but she was stubborn as a mule and she would've have gotten up, answered the phone, slipped on the blasted rug and fallen even if the whole family had been there. And if the rug hadn't been there, she would have fallen on something else. If not then, then some other time because we would have had to chain her to the bed to keep her from getting up and around, and knowing my mom she would've just bitten through the chains. She was tough like that. Maybe someday we can get through Mother's Day and Christmas, and especially Thanksgiving (boy do I miss my mom's cooking), and just enjoy the holidays again like the semiabnormal family we were before. There, now. I've gotten it off my chest finally. I feel better already. (I love this thread).

Projectile Eviction. With under 12 hours notice. For no reason, other than corn.

Anyone else see how it's fucked up to wait 'til someone goes to work to tell them they have to 'find another place to live today' and never have made a single complaint...? Never so much as discussed a problem...?

On top of life-changing fucking bullshit, people you thought were friends suddenly shift axis and freak the fuck out, almost tasering the girl you share the room with...? God.


Finding a legit place to live is so time-consuming and fucking complicated... well not complex, but certainly consuming of a lot of man-hours.

Much stress. Probably knocked some lifespan off.

i am so sick of these people.

I tried to type it in all caps, but the website lowercased all of it, making my rage look less intense. But seriously. I never want to hear about Firefly again.

I love a lot of what Joss Whedon does, but he has the most pretentious rabid fans that make me want to hate him and all his works, but I just can't. And these people are everywhere. And I can't wear my Buffy shirt without someone bawwing that firefly was cancelled.

It's been 10 years, and you didn't even watch it when it was on tv. Get over it already.

Okay rant over.

Why are so many people who were totally accepting of the concept of an open relationship totally freaked out by an open marriage?

Because people are stupid. I think it's because marriage is 'holy' or 'in the eyes of god' or something like that.

It's the same ridiculous reason some people don't mind if gay people are having relationships, but believe that no way should they be able to get married.

It makes no sense to me either. To me, marriage is just expressing your love, and upping your agreement not to leave. If an open relationship was working for a couple, a non-open marriage might change things enough to create problems. Why mess with a good thing, married or not?

Actually I think it's the fact that marrage is known for being a complete monogamous dedication of one's self to another person. As such people with that strict definition in mind can see an open marriage as an oxymoron.
