    I'm annoyed a certain publisher is still selling two of Dan's book without having the rights to them anymore. I've found them on a number of different sites still for sale, and it has really annoyed me. I have bookmarked all the pages so that Dan can email her over the next week and have them removed. Very aggravating that I am now spending my night hunting online for more markets she is selling his books one still.

    it really is an annoying feeling having something that you wish to talk about, that has been bugging you for a while now, but you are simply unable to talk about it with anyone because you know for a fact that no one will even begin to understand the sheer frustration that this thing has caused you and how this is the one and only thing you have a very strong disliking for. This thing you have an even bigger disliking for then your deadbeat ex partner...

    You can talk to me about it if you want to, Tor! I'll try to understand.

    I was hanging out with some people from church and I had a panic attack and it was just awful. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

    I don't like hanging out with large crowd of people myself. I have a panic attack every time. :(

    Internet, please stop disconnecting every minute or so. It is rather annoying.

    Also, getting frustrated at my drawing. I can't seem to draw Picard (from Star Trek) right, mainly because I can't draw noses, so it ruins the whole drawing. Bah.

    And it just sucks. Doesn't it?

    I wasn't with a big group. Just about 5 people. :/

    Edited...

    I have been working on things that have been difficult. Someone finally knows about a secret I have been struggling with for a long time. I feel ashamed that someone knows but it was strangely therapeutic to have someone who understands give me a hug and say that if I need anything at all, I have a friend.

    I cant get my mind off of it now though.

    Awwwww, Merc. :( *hugs*

    I know my opinion doesn't really matter here, but I think you should talk to her. Or someone, at least. I don't know what your secret is, obviously, but surely it would help to have one person to confide in. I can't imagine trying to deal with something difficult all by myself.

    Thank you. I feel like throwing up. Like I've just started to open Pandora's Box and I don't know what's going to come next, and part of me wishes I had just kept quiet because even though I am not 'okay,' I have gotten by for a long time and sometimes even feel very happy. And part of me is just so hurt and confused and not only wants but needs to sort things out. And I have never before felt this... angry.

    Well, I hope you're able to. And if you ever need to talk to someone, about anything, I hope you know you can talk to me!

    This makes no sense to me, that's what upsets me so much.

    Recieving a write-up at work for actually doing my job.:mad:

    Absolutely amazing.

    I don't like large crowds either. My family likes going to fairs and open markets. Yay, shopping. :(

    Aw, Eun, I can relate. I draw, and so does my brother. He recreates quite a few Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, too! If you ever really wanted some help, I'm sure I could lend a hand. ;)

    Some crazy@$$ itch-with-a-bee who used to harass me on a pet forum years ago until I lost my temper and got banned, has somehow managed to track me all the way to the Books on Demand forum. First thing in the morning, I read her post in a thread it doesn't belong, full of insults and disclosure of information that isn't hers to share. Really what right does that crazy woman have to disclose my years-ago username from a years-ago community along with calling me a "mentally ill" person? It was her fourth post so far, and in her introduction she said that all she wanted here, was reading samples - which you can find anywhere. Gotta wonder why she truly came. I reported her to the admin for stalking and harassment, I hope sanity will smite that headcase.

    And, not my problem but I'm making it my problem out of solidarity, a basic value in Israeli society: An Israeli student in Italy got attacked by Palestinians who threatened to kill him and meant it. Nobody tried to help. The house mother of his dorm even said he should be kicked out for causing trouble for that poor Palestinian by reporting him to the police. I can't believe this modern day attempt of getting rid of the Jews by complacently letting others do the killing, hasn't elicited war yet. I mean it's obvious, the only three countries where Israelis and Jews can expect some basic protection (like regular citizens...) are Israel, Germany and the US. Everywhere else authorities seem fine with the idea of "poor poor muslims" butchering us. You think police cared when someone smeared "Jewish whore" on my window which is just one step away from smashing it, entering my place and raping and killing me? Oh well, I'm Israeli, nevermind, let me die!
    Gotta wonder who's really oppressing who. Us the Palestinians in klutzy self-defence or vice-versa with international support (doing nothing equals approval equals support)..?

    Thanks. I'm not a Star Trek fan, but I was drawing it for my boyfriend's birthday card. Decided to scrap the Star Trek theme and go for something else. :p

    Woken up at 3am by two housemates coming in extremely drunk.

    Words will be said when they get up (probably after I've spent a few hours in uni - and yes, I know it's Sunday).

    ^ That happened all the time last year when I was living in halls. It drove me insane.
    Hopefully after you've spoken to them, they'll be more considerate.

    My condolences. I have some experience with being a victim of cyber-stalking, though I doubt anything as bad as that. It can definitely be extremely irritating. Expecially when they're spreading lies about you.

    Also, someone put that on your window? Wow... If I saw that somewhere I would be positively trembling with rage. And I'm not even Jewish. Hearing about the way some humans treat others based on race, nationality, or religion, is positively revolting.

    Thanks. That's Brussels for you. I don't wanna know what would have happened if I'd left the window blinds up and the window unprotected. It's a very high population of muslims in my area and the newspapers already picked up the growing antisemitism in this country. Hmmm may I offer a theory...
    Oh well. 2 more months and I'm going back to Israel. Israel may be surrounded, but not yet invaded by enemies. Belgium is safe to call Beirut.

    Anyways, that's really not the worst case of cyber stalking. The other headjob went as far as faking an orbituary of me and send it to Facebook so they'd memorialize my account and declare me dead to my friends. Very tasteful considering a classmate had just died a ghastly death and my profile pic showed me as my recent character in a horror movie - a butchered, bloodied nun. And a memorialized account can't be accessed so until I got in touch with all of them, my poor friends though a) I was dead for real and b) THAT was gonna be my condolence profile pic for eternity.
    Why? Oh, I just asked him a few years before that, in the public section of a pet forum to please stop sexually harassing me via private messaging. Turns out he's mentally ill and really doesn't seem to know he's annoying the life out of people but that doesn't make it much easier to tolerate. So I'm not sueing. But Heaven have mercy on him if he catches me on PMS. Haven't heard of him in months though. Not that I miss him :D I was in touch with his equally annoyed college proffessor who promised me to take it up with his parents (the guy is in his 50s but not mentally) and I guess that worked.

    Oh, you live in Brussels? I'm from Belgium too, and I'm traveling up and down to Brussels these days for my exams. Luckily I've never had any problems going there, even though they say the neighborhood I pass through is a bit... creepy (Anderlecht, Bruxelles-Midi).

    I'm really sorry for you, though... I can't believe some people are so selfish and full of hate.

    I am stressed. Tomorrow is my last day before my math exam. This exam is basically two years of math-knowlegde and I kinda suck at it.
    When I did it last year I failed at it, but well, I knew I would. I know it better now, but I'm not sure if it's good enough. I'm just scared to forget anything and I can't shake off that nervous feeling- even if I'd know it better.
    Sigh. :(

    Yup, Midi - not much better than Schaarbeek!
