Thanks, I'll take the hug. It's good to know I haven't messed up to badly here. I want to thank you guys for your great advice and commiseration. I wish Saddiction was a therapist, maybe in a past life. Oh well.

I'm pissed.
So, I was in history class, working on my project. Some girl's project is basically the main religions of the United States (Essentially, she's doing Fundamentalism: The Movie). Alex and I (One of my partners in the project) were asking people what they were doing (We're doing Modern Warfare. It's fun). So, she told us, and then made the statement, "We're covering stuff like Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses, which aren't true Christians".

Always intrigued by religion, I asked her, "What makes them not true Christians?". She responded that they didn't follow the Bible, and they were true Christians. I got into a debate with her, eventually pointing out that Christianity had taken elements of Paganism and other religions (Mithras and Appollonius of Tyana).

Then, she made the point of saying, "Oh, those were just written".
I pointed out that the Bible was written too.
She retorted with, "But they were inspired by the spirit".
I replied with, "Oh, I'm feeling the spirit now, I think I shall make a holy decree".

Needless to say, she got offended, because I was insulting her religion. Here she was, going on about how Mormons and Jehovahs witnesses aren't true Christians, and now she feels insulted? I call bullshit.

Here's mine. It's a double whammy today!

First off, I'm not so much mad as I am a bit frustrated. Being teased and all. (Not like nya nya. Just running jokes and lewd pictures.) I really miss the person who's teasing me. (for 2 reasons which shall not be discussed)

Secondly, a bunch of Jrock bands are doing a show Friday and Saturday night in Los Angeles and I'm not going because I'm doing the "responsible" thing. Jrock bands like NEVER come to America and yet there they are!! In Los Angeles! The closest they'll probably EVER come to performing in the states and I'm not going. It's not because I don't have the money. I do. I don't even have to work that evening. I'm just being a (dumb, stupid) "responsible adult" and not "wasting" my money. *cries a thousand and one tears of sorrow*

Cell phones. I hate them. Only handy for emergencies in my book.

Don't take or make a call while driving. Next time I will not try to avoid you swerving into my lane because you see your turn lane coming up in less than 50 feet. I'm sure my grieving family will feel so much better with the knowledge that I died because it was so important to get the details of what time and where your going to meet up with friends.

Your brain can't process both things at one time.

Don't take, make or continue a call while being waited on in a store or a restaurant. It's rude to the person waiting on you, it's rude to the people who would like to be waited on, it's rude to the person your talking to while your being waited on.

Your brain can't process both things at once.

And PLEASE! Do not hold up one finger as the just a moment sign or mouth to me, I'm sorry, I know this is rude while trying to complete a transaction. One day I will reach across the counter, snatch the phone from your ear and snap that thing shut. Now who's being rude?

I pity the Mother's who gave birth to these people who were born with a cell phone attached to their ear. It must have been very painful.

I just can not fathom how society ever managed to get along without cell phones for so long.

I have a cell phone. Only because he got it for me for Christmas one year that way he could get a hold of me when ever and where ever. HA! I just let voice mail pick it up. If it's important I will direct connect when I am not busy. All I ever hear every month is Quit calling people, you use up all the minutes. Umm, it's not me. I call my Mother once a week on Sunday. During free time. It must be the Dachshund. I just know she is calling that German Shepard over across the way while I am showering.

I would go if I were you Dax. I think there is an old Chinese proverb that goes something like:
"when you earn a dollar, spend half on a loaf of bread, and with the other half buy a rose".

Assuming that "Jrock" means "Japanese Rock", if it's any comfort, in all probability they will come more often in the future, rather than less.

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! Help me! I have had to relocate to accomodations that only has dial-up! Arghhhhhh! I can't lurk happily at G-net anymore!!! I am going through withdrawal!!! But, my relocation has been for a very good, if sad, reason. I have been forced to leave my home because of an abusive relationship, and I had to protect my little girl. So, I whine about trivial things right now. But I know that I am now in a safe place. I miss reading everyones posts. Hopefully I'll be able to pop in every now and then.

Breathless Horror · 05-25-2007, 05:15 PM

Awww *Hugs* My head would explode if I couldn't lurk here! I hope everything turns out for you babe.

On an unrelated note: I'd just like to say that I have never before seen such caring and compassionate people. Though I have never met any of you, I love you all. You take the time to console people you have never seen in a time when sometimes even friends turn a deaf ear. Your compassion shines out like a beacon in the night of human suffering.

I sure hope so Drake. Yes, I do mean Japanese Rock. This is the first time (since my parents let me do whatever I wanted and I started driving) that I've heard of them coming so close to home. I was especially looking forward to seeing Miyavi and Alice Ruin.

Dir En Grey is playing with the Deftones sometime next month. I'm not too fond of the Deftones, but I like them enough toput up with them. Especially if I get to see Dir En Grey. I really want to hear Clever Sleazoid live.

raggedyanne · 05-25-2007, 07:31 PM

I always spend memorial day weekend with my mom's best friend's family. They are slowly coming to terms with my non-conformist dressing style, but I have to keep my mouth shut about my religious and political views. I hate not being able to participate in any conversations, but I also really like these people and don't want to offend them!

Tismine · 05-25-2007, 07:55 PM

As long as you're polite, and make logical statements, I highly doubt you'll offend them. In fact, you will probably impress them more. Someone who speaks their mind in an intelligent fashion is so much more interesting than someone who does not.

Oh my gosh, I hope you and your cute little blond cherub are ok and everything works out for the best. I think she is in good hands with a mother like you.

Splintered · 05-26-2007, 12:56 PM

I made a really stupid move, and I'm kicking myself in the head for it. I actually got all the paintball gear I wanted. This should be a good thing for me, and I should be happy. But I'm realizing that the price I'm paying for this isn't just on the tag.

Basically, yesterday was my 16th Birthday. For, it, I'm getting a bunch of mods for my gun. My parents are paying for extra, more then they normally would because it's my sixteenth birthday.

The thing is, is that I don't really get a long with my parents. I don't hate them or anything, it's just been that at the most critical points in my life, they haven't been there. Our conversations have been reduced to talking in passing, and any major talks we have are when they sit me down at the dinner table, which usually results in them yelling at me, and driving me to the point of tears where I go off to my room.

So, my plan was to keep myself from taking as little as possible from them, and earning as much as I can until I turn 18, and if by the time I turn 18 they haven't made any type of improvement, I'd keep them out of my life because I don't need them keeping me down any longer.

They offered a lot of money, and in some sort of greed-driven haze, I took it. So now the parts are on their way, and I can't cancel the orders. I've basically broken one of the key points. Now every time they yell at me, they'll bring up, "Remember when we bought you the...".

It feels like I've forgotten myself, and what I wanted so much. I feel horrible.

Tismine · 05-26-2007, 03:11 PM

Oh.
Fuck.
No.
I'm pretty apathetic about most deaths. However, there is a point where I care. I hate it when children die. I hate it. They are innocent, they don't fucking deserve it!
I was just watching the news when a brief segment came on about a 4 year old boy. He was living with his mother's boyfriend while she was deployed in Iran. He beat the child to death using a belt. Police found him in his bed, dead from injuries to the stomach and head. How can anyone do this? It was a little kid! An inncoent child! Somewhere, a mother is grieving over the loss of her son. Her little baby boy. It's different when the person gets older. The person has lived some, and become tainted. A child is young. They are pure. They haven't had a chance to make mistakes. And yet, people kill them. I don't want whoever did this to be killed. I want them completely and utterly destroyed, both mentally and physically. I want him to pay.
Rest is peace, kid.

Minyaliel · 05-27-2007, 09:50 AM

I HATE working in a team with people who can't do things properly and who only seem to shove their appointed work over to others. *looks furious* How the bloody hell am I supposed to finish my own work _and_ clean up this fucktard's mess?! I've only got 24 hours to deadline, dammit! *feels the need to kick something very hard*

Mir · 05-27-2007, 10:00 AM

ROAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I feel much better now thanks.

heretoday_gonetomorrow · 05-28-2007, 03:46 PM

Soo...I hate thinking about the future, but I do all of the time. I'm so afraid of failure. College is just around the corner, two years away...it's going to be so hard to get the money, and I try hard to get good grades...but they're not the best, not as good as some of my friend's grades, will I get into a good college? Will I be the successful lawyer I want to be? It's a scary thing to think about the goals I have and how I'm going to achieve them. So ends my rant.

HumanePain · 05-28-2007, 08:19 PM

I don't want to think about the future either, but in my case I am talking about tomorrow. Back to work. Ugh. (Today was the Memorial Day holiday in the U.S.)

I want to stay home and read Elizabeth Browning and Charles Baudelaire while listening to The Cure instead of going to work. :: pouts::

DeathChii · 05-28-2007, 08:20 PM

parents being close minded and horribly stereo-typical... -_-

Miss[T] · 05-28-2007, 08:52 PM

I am tired of my mom always saying I have to be god damn happy, she doesn't get how my life is, she doesn't know how much she and the rest of the family have ruined it for me!!!!

I'm also tired of everyone looking down on me, since they do it for no reason too. Everyone is just to God damn stuck up.

Girls in my school need to get a life. Boys are way better friends because they're never critisizing you, they never care what you look like, and you don't have to always talk about "hot" guys, like seriously people get a normal life!!!!

raggedyanne · 05-28-2007, 10:39 PM

It seems a clueless ex-friend of mine gave my abusive ex-boyfriend my current contact info so now he's emailing me. I was with family when I opened the first message and naturally that sent me into a bout of bad temperment. They of course wanted to know whats wrong, but when I moved he threatened to find and kill me if I said anything. A couple close friends just know that I've been in a bad relationship before, but only one friend knows everything and now I'm worried about her. It's not like he can really come kill me, hopefully. Still, it's just my friends that I'm worried about. Not even sure if he knows she knows, but the ex-friend who gave him the info was pretty pissed at me seeing as right before she left I had just broken up with the evil dude and her boy thought he had a chance with me so he dumped her but I of coarse rejected him because he was a bastard. There's all that stress added onto the fact that the guy I like at my new school now knows I like him and when we see each other tomorrow who knows what will happen. Not to mention I'm barely scraping by with enough credits to get promoted to grade nine. JOY! blah.

eternalcrimson · 06-02-2007, 07:20 PM

…So today I was walking home from the video store and this car drove by me and called me "F A G G O T!” I’m being serious for a moment. What are they expecting to happen when they say that? We already know that I am gay so that means that the person saying that is stating the obvious which makes them a fucking moron. Not to mention, are you trying to scare me? <HA! HA! HA!> It would be one thing if I was in the closet like you but I’m not. Why don’t you take your fucking Acura Integra and shove it up your chulo ass. You coward! And that’s another thing, if you were a man at all you would have said that to my fucking face as oppose to just driving by and running away like the little pussy that you are. Give me a chance to fucking punch you in the nose you Catholic conformist. We all know if the world thought and dressed just the way you did this would be a perfect world where we could hang pink fuzzy dice from our car <F A G G O T!>

On the lighter side of news while walking back from the video store after that lovely comment that wonderful brave asshole gave me, a Chihuahua was following me home. I was trying to get him away from me because he odiously had a owner. I ran and he would follow me. As I crossed the street he was running ahead of me and almost got ran over by a SUV. I had to scream at him so he would get out of the way. We were almost at my house and I was sure I was going to have to adopt this dog when the owner pulled up and took him away which was a shame. I was starting to get attached to him

.

HumanePain · 06-02-2007, 08:33 PM

Sorry you had to endure such idiocy. The Chihuahua was smarter than your drive by antagonist. People who have to put someone down to make themselves feel more macho are shallow oafs.

DeathChii · 06-03-2007, 08:19 PM

I am torn between my current and my ex... I don't know what to do... I know it's horrible... I feel horrible... if anyone can give me advice with out making me feel worse then I already do, I will appreciate it so
