After New Years I am going to save every last penny for a car and insurance...which I can totally do, but no more going out for me for the next 4-5 months

[††BlackRose††]

Okay the whole day today and yesterday this old woman comes over and naturally my sister and I had to be like little slaves again doing a lot of goddamned work. Sure you have to do it, but the moment I make one FUCKING mistake just ONE mistake I get yelled at about how fucking useless I am and how my mom thinks my sister is better than me.
Okay I have been up since really early in the morning. I'm tired! I did a lot of work!!! I cleaned up so much!!!! If I was that fucking useless then why did you dump so many different things so that I had to run back and forth between them!!!! I didn't know that my mom was going to go watch tv! I thought she'd be back to check on something that was warming up!!!!

I get no fucking respect from her and I know I deserve it.

[badteccy]

Ok, the pen is on a string connected to the credit/debit/ebt machine thing.
Why in the fuck would you hand me the pen if it's ALREADY ON A STRING?????
I mean, really...are people this stupid...really? REALLY???

Badteccy I have the perfect car for you for $800! A 1976 Pontiac Catalina 4 Door! Its a huge boat about 22 feet, 455 Rocket V-8. I was going to buy it but I already have a land yacht.

[korinna5555]

I hate boats..
I own one, but.. NOOO. I get seasick.
I know Stormtrooper will ask me.. it is an Optimist dinghy that my dad built.

I have hardly any punk as of right now.. I need to get on Limewire tonight.. I am on a major punk streak right now and wanting a mohawk and multiple facial piercings. As always, I would also love the opportunity to hurt George W.

I see we have some new troll-like creatures........ ugh.

[korinna5555]

My mom is no fun..
After finding a baby-sized leather jacket in NYC, I quickly figured out that if my children ever stay with her unattended, their "Mommy's Little Anarkist" onesies and their mohawks will be replaced with pink frilly dresses and bows.. UGH.
UGH.
UGH.

Gah!
I finally installed my graphics tablet.
It's a PIECE OF SHIT. It doesn't seem to have pressure sensitivity except when it wants to, it's too small to be useful, and it behaves like a seriously malfunctioning touchpad on a laptop. I try to go to the bottom of the screen for something, I end up having to drag the stylus down the tablet three times to get there. Now, imagine what that does to my ability to draw? I can't seem to get it to actually do what I want. I draw on the tablet, a smoothly curved shape that I know I can draw with my eyes closed (and indeed have done before!) and on screen it shows these horrible broken lines and fragments and scratchy mess.
I'd rather use a mouse! I'd rather fingerpaint!

I was really looking forward to installing the tablet, because I thought it would finally give me the control and fine movement that I wanted. My old tablet made so many things easier for me. But this thing is awful! It's so clumsy!

I'm not sure whether it's just me being hormonal (yes, that bloody time of the month, how it does fuck me up) or whether it's a real and genuine frustration, but after it managed to bollocks up a ridiculously simple task using the GIMP, the friendliest and easiest piece of image software there is, I ended up in tears.

I just want it to work! I want a graphics tablet that lets me draw, not some piece-of-shit thing that doesn't even register when I try to open folders with it.
Tap. Taptap. TAP. TAPTAP. Clicky-button. Clicky-other-button.
Fuck's sake, what the hell do you have to do to make this thing double-click?

Probably seems like I'm over reacting. But this was... I was looking forward to this. I love drawing. It's one of my greatest pleasures. And I was hoping I'd be able to sit down, just me and my laptop, and draw. And I can't, because the damn thing doesn't behave anything like any tablet and stylus I've used before and doesn't act like a fucking pen either.
If you're a writer, recall the frustration with having a wonderful idea for a story that you need to write down and not having anything, not even an eyeliner pencil to write with, and forgetting your idea before you managed to find one. If you draw, you know the frustration of running out of paper. Guitarists, imagine being told you were getting a shiny new Gibson Les Paul for Christmas, but instead ending up getting a shabby little thing with the neck half-broken and the tuning pegs missing. It's just so hateful and awful and I just want a decent graphics tablet, that's not so much to ask for. I had one before. Why can't I just have the same model again or something? Why the hell did my insurance have to give me this stupid, nasty little thing that's proving more time consuming and awkward to use than my goddamned four-inch-wide touchpad?

Eh, I'm looking for a small, two door car.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

But its a beast! You could fit 5 people in the trunk. I'd buy it for the engine by 455's aren't that good, they redline a 5200 rpm, I'd rather have a 454. Lot's of torque though.

Three of my good friends are currently homeless. I'm at my friends house, THEY are at my apartment. I like these guys, they're my friends... but teenagers? And completely without supervision, because my mom is out of town. It was stupid of me to even let them go there without me, but they don't have anywhere else to go. So I'm getting picked up in like two hours so I won't have to worry about them messing up my freaking place.
I'm also really sick of school. And I'm definitely getting suspended next week, because I skipped fourth period with my friend Scott, who has only three classes. He's been begging me to hang with him, so we went to Smoker Friendly, Wal-mart, Lonestar, and New World Coffeehouse. Then we drive around for a little bit. Then, I'm supposed to hang with some friends, not the ones I'm with, but others, but they kept changing the plans. So I said fuck it and came over to my friend Dave's place. But now I'm anxious because people are at my house when I'm not there.

I've said it before, I'll probably say it again. I want new friends.

Hey, Fenris Queen. I believe that we may have crossed paths on this tangled web before. I used to write for The Alibi, could never get over that evil girlfriend? She has been pretty much surgically removed from my life now. Have a good one! :^)

[lostintranslation]

Why is it that some guys can't handle friendships with gals? Or rather, why is it that certain ex-boyfriends can't handle friendships with ex-girlfriends, all they want is a relationship and marriage and all that? Isn't friendship a good place to start when trying to rebuild a relationship?

[Stormtrooper of Death]

Because most of guys now a days are pricks. I am not. Yes, it is a good spot to start, I believe.

[Xombie]

hungover. ow.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

What did you have last night Xombie?

[Xombie]

too much vodka. too much bacardi.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

I see. Well, take some asprin and I hope it feels better.

[lostintranslation]

*High 5 SOD*!!

Xombie-I wish I'd been doing what you were last night...

NEVER take any sort of pain reliever for a hangover!
There is still alcohol in your system, and that is BAD for your liver..





I can't sing well when I am congested.

[Methadrine]

A hangover is cured with water. It's the dehydration that the alcohol causes that causes the headache in the first place.

Even better, remember to drink some amounts of water before getting to bed the night you drink.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

Well, it show you how many times I've been hungover......zero! I haven't had alcohol in a long time.

[lostintranslation]

Never been hungover either, or drunk, or tipsy, or buzzed, or anything. *tear* Oh wells. I know enough drinkers that if I were to ever go out drinking, I know how to avoid a hangover, which is always handy.

[Delkaetre]

The Northern Irish goth scene is to be lamented. They won't get up and dance unless they are so familiar with a song as to be able to call it overplayed. I was the only person dancing to Rome Burns and Screaming Banshee Aircrew, and it took my dragging people up to dance to get anyone for Uninvited Guest.
Gaaahhhh! Why don't they dance? Why do they sit in their little cliques and refuse to talk and stare at newcomers and... and...
I love the people, I really do, they're great. But the scene as a whole is a nasty little nest.

[korinna5555]

I don't act drunk, I don't get hangovers..
I just drink, and drink, and drink, and eventually pass out.
What can be expected? I'm Irish and Scottish!

[Methadrine]

I don't even pass out. I had one of those 40%'ish Absolut yesterday, 350ml, which I mixed with a little cranberryjuice and I didn't even spell wrong on the net after that one. *mutters*

I did get awfully chatty with myself though.

[Stormtrooper of Death]

I love Scotland. The Exploited are from there! I'm German and Polish.
