The not happy thread

Exactly what I thought when I found out. Cheese? My favorite food. Ice cream? Who doesn't love it? I don't drink milk ever, but I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without my cheese.

Pretty soon I'm not going to be able to eat anything at all. I've got acid reflux, I'm allergic to most fruits, vegetables, and nuts as well as other random things, and now lactose intolerant has been thrown into the mix. Hooray.

 

Why must I constantly prove to my parents that I'm passionate about acting?

Does a soldier have to drag a bloody corpse to his superiors, to prove he's passionate about being a soldier?

(Admittedly, that was a crap analogy.)

 

You might have to act to prove that you like acting, but if you mean verbally convince then I'm right alongside you throwing bloody corpses at your parents.

 

I REALLY can't believe how totally self-absorbed some people can be. They honestly believe that their trivial little victories should be world news, and that your friendship with them only serves as another ear for their gloating, whilst they disregard just about everything you say in favour of skipping your part in the conversation just to get back to talking about themselves. And then they wonder why it's so easy to get irritated by them.

 

I don't understand how some people can have such a short fuse. You apologise to them, they act like it's fine, and when you try and get a conversation going they explode again. And when you've apologised for that they find another reason to have a go at you, and when you've apologised for that they find yet another reason to be pissed at you, and then, finally, when you've told them that you want to be their friend and you'll do everything they asked they say: "That's not nearly the point. I'm not interested."

Well you know what? Screw it all. I'm tired of having to act like a bloody feelingless lump so that everyone else will pretend to like me, then tell me how much of an arse I am. They don't like it, tough.

 

Yes ... people truly suck.

 

Dan, I'm sorry to hear you're upset. You are always so peppy and smiling and what I would only assume is happy, so when you are unhappy, all I want to do is give you a hug and say that it's going to be okay and make you feel better.

If you want to talk, just let me know --I'll log on to MSN or Facebook or something, and I dont have to say a word --you can just say whatever you want.

Like Rumpole said, people do suck, and I'm not about to pretend that I'm not one of them. But I try my best, and you try your best, and that's all either of us can ask.

Ashleigh, sorry to hear you're upset too. Bad nights all around. The same offer is extended to you as well.

For all the bitching I do around here, it'd just be heartless if I couldnt offer a shoulder to cry on or an ear to scream into every once in a while, especially for people as nice as the both of you.

 

Not very happy.

Pretty much snapped at everyone thats close to me within the last 24 hours.

Funny, how one person can anger you and get you so raged up, you bark at everyone (Half of them were through emails, which makes it a little more sticking)

I need a good cave to live in me thinks.

 

The $$&%* skunks are again crossing the space next to my house to travel between wooded areas, and even when they aren't upset, they reek.

Happens every time we get a warm spell, which of course when I have to keep the windows open.

Gag!

 

^ Ditto.

 

I dont have anything nearly so personal to whine, about, but I'll tell you --for a nongamer, even I can say that EA definitely screwed up bigtime, and I really hope someone lost his (because, with a stunt like this, it can only be a masculine mind behind it) job. Though I wouldnt hold my breath.

EA is coming out with a game called Inferno (heavily based on Dante's epic, of course), and to promote it, attenders to a recent convention were asked to "commit acts of lust" with the scantily clad models, take a photo of it, post it on facebook, and whoever got the most comments or something wins "dinner and a sinful night with two hot girls, a limo service, paparazzi and a chest full of booty."

Not unsurprisingly, the slogan for the game is "Sin to Win."

Of course.

*@^#$(@#)$(&!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What's even more offensive? They've taken one of the greatest works of art ever composed, one of the greatest expressions of world culture, and made a video game of it. The ridiculous advertising campaigns only drop them further down the circles...

Edit: It doesn't surprise me it was EA though. They were the ones who decided Mass Effect needed the special type of anti-piracy protection which keeps me from installing it when I have to reset my computer. They are the worst.

 

Yeah... generally when EA tried to make a game associated with art, it goes badly. they should stick to C&C.

 

That is exactly what I got out of reading the Inferno. It is obviously a terrible game if the best way they can draw attention to it is with the ridiculous contest you mentioned. Will they ask for the most offensive Mohamed cartoon once we get to Paradiso?

 

?!?!?!?!&*(#%#*&#&@(*)@&*@*(#&### !!!!!

WTF is the world coming to?

 

The water heater broke. I had to take an ice cold shower. Grrr and brrrr.

 

Ugh, that sucks.

I'm so close to finishing a 13 page account on my vacation in DC, and I think I'm done for the night, which makes me mad, because I've procrastinated enough on it, but it's come to the point where i just can't do anymore for the day, y'know? Like i need to recharge for tomorrow.

 

^ I had the same thing when ours broke a couple of years ago, Rump.

I will never forget the aching in my head after those cold showers....youch.

 

Any chance the heater just happened to start working again?


On the bright side, I learned to take a very quick shower.

 

Those are never good. I had the same thing happen earlier this year in the middle of winter. It was a bad time.

 

Noope, 'fraid not. It had to be replaced lol. Fingers crossed that you don't have to replace a very expensive heating system, lmao.

 

I feel so guilty for procrastinating, but there's nothing I can do anymore tonight, so it's irrational.....but come on...... blech.

 

I rent so the landlord is getting a phone call EARLY tomorrow.

Hey, what happened to your avatar and sig?

 

Interesting typo

 

Ah, good.

I'm not sure really, they went walkabouts.
