The Not Happy Thread

Just ate McDonald's for the first time in ages. I think i want to be sick now.

I guess it's my own fault.

 

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, I guess I'd know what it's like, and yeah, long distance is definitely not easy.

 

Ah I know what you mean about long distance relationships. I'm currently in one and it's not easy. But I like to think it's worth it. It can really mess some people up though. Perhaps if you keep talking, then when you're out of uni you can have a go at things? I don't know. I do know what you mean about the whole incapability of meeting people nearby. Fingers crossed you have some luck soon!

Hope you have some luck soon. But remember having a boy/girlfriend isn't everything.

 

England isnt a huge country, wouldn't really call it a long term relationship.

Too bad though.

 

I have been laying awake for more than 6 hours now trying to sleep. I can't.

 

That sucks. Sometimes just clearing your head by browsing the internet for a bit or reading or writing helps. Hope you get to sleep soon!

 

Dante, long distance can work providing you have money to fund the travelling, and you've actually met one another (so you know it'll work). The faster you get it off the internet (if it is an internet thing) or the faster you get a routine going, it works. It might be harder for you because the distance is quite a bit further than Matt and me, but we live about 100 miles apart when we're both at home, and about 100 miles apart when we're both at uni.
However, it's not a good idea to invest your heart in something doomed to fail, so I guess your head's in the right place.

 

Awww...now you've done it, Speedy. I just got done wrapping my mind around the fact that England =/= Great Britain. Great Britain's the whole country and England is a section of said country and you go on and say "England isn't a huge country".

I'm a confused Hylian.

 

Great Britain is made up of England, northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales - all separate countries in their own rights. I'm not an expert on geography, but I think that's the basics of it. England is a country within Great Britain and the United Kingdom, and it is rather small.

A lot of Americans always say "Britain" when they mean "England". That's why I get peeved when people say "British accent" - there is no such thing!

 

Yea, that's what I figured.

UK= The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
---> England
---> Scotland
---> Wales
---> N. Ireland

Britain= Encommpases them all.

 

Yeah, so I don't get why you're confused about the size of England. The way you phrased it before made it sound like you think Britain is England.

 

Well, he did make me kinda confused. All good now.

 

My sister and her fiance just found out that they could drive up here for next Monday and Tuesday. It will be the first time they've ever been up to visit us. And I close both those days. I tried to get people to switch shifts with me, but two of them can't and one of them just won't. Kind of upsetting.

 

Maybe they can hang with you at the store, you know follow you around, and throw print cartridges back and forth and zoom on the office chairs.....maybe.

Good thing I do not have to start my job this week, I have been afflicted with a hell of a cold...and so I cannot ride my bike too...

 

I want to replay Red Dead Redemption, want to play John Marston again, but then the memory of my ultra stupid move of deleting my old 95% completed file comes back and the knowledge that...this was the second time I accidentally deleted a completed file. I've got a small yearning, but not the desire or will to once again replay the missions to get back to where I once was.

 

;c I'm in sooooo much pain right now. I'm not sure how but apparently I got an infection or something in my lip; now it's just swollen and painfully burning and it looks preeetty bad. SPOILING MY DAMN FACE!

This is irrelevant to everything on this thread but I'm not happy so I'm posting my unhappiness. ARRRGH!!!!! I can't even eat anymore... );c owowowowowowowow!

Does anyone else ever get that feeling that their body just hates them? I've been in like constant pain for almost two years now. Euch...

;___; Carry on whilst I flail in pain. -flails-

 

Have you been to the doctor? They may be able to help.

Sometimes I think fate hates me because dirt and other crap tends to fly right into my good right eye (or at least attempts to). Seriously fate, this is the only eye I got! Stop trying to kill it!

* I'm pretty much blind in my left eye. If my right eye goes, I'm gauranteed to be marked as a legally blind citizen, cane and Braille typewriter all. At least there's technology so that I can still surf the internet (and post here. :3)

 

Damn, how did you get such deteriorated vision in one eye? D: I have **** health all over due to my body having some weird reaction to that freaking retarded HPV injection the damn government gave all the girls. (We were the guinea pigs apparently, which they failed to tell us).

-Yeah, I went to a pharmacist and she said it might be an infection or an allergy, but due to the pattern of appearence of said hideously painful lip issues, it may be more likely to be an infection. We shall see I guess... ;__; But I don't have anything for it. Maybe I'll try putting ice on it...-

 

I was born with it, as well as severe hearing impairment in both ears.

 

Well if we're talking Great Britian then it's a fair size, but England itself you could go from north to south in 12-15 hours?

England, Wales, Scotland (and ireland?, maybe not anymore), is the United Kingdom, also Great Britian.

But England can still stand on its own.

 

I'm greatly pissed off because so far, I've got several short-stories written and no one I know will review them for me. I showed it to an aunt of mine (who only read one) and she said it was good and liked. And my mother, who has been the only constant reader. But both of them are my relatives, so I can only trust on their opinion till a certain point.

I've sent it to five friends, none of them read a single line. I think the one I am pissed off the most with is my good friend Luiz, an excellent poet. However, a few weeks ago he sent me a short-story of his for me to review, and I did it. It hurt me badly though. He is an excellent poet, but a terrible short-story writer. He wrote in such an antiquated Portuguese that I felt like vomiting. I literally had to force myself to sit still through the story's 27 pages and drag to the end. It was torture. And then I gave my humble criticism as polite as I could - I told him I didn't like it in a nice way, and why, and what could be done to "fix" it or "improve" it. After such a traumatic experience as reading his story was, I asked him to read a simple 7 page story I wrote (which I posted here in the forums). And guess what? He hasn't read it yet. I asked him once if he read it - won't ask it again. And as for my other friends, they are usually people I do favors to every now and then, and now they can't give up 40 ****ing minutes of their time for me.

And so I decided to post it here. But still, four days have gone by and there has been some views, but no replies. What pisses me off more is not to be told that I am a bad writer or a good writer - it is the fact that I am in complete oblivion as to which of the two I am. Since nobody who is outside of my family circle won't read it, I can't really know it, and that is what makes me nervous. Oh well....guess I should be an asshole to my "friends" next time they come asking me for a favor.

 

I hope your cold goes away quickly!

I told my sister she should just come skate around my store while I close. I'll be the only manager there, and I'm almost done there anyway, so I really don't care...

I hope the pain goes away soon. I often feel like my body hates me, so you have my sympathies.

Dude, things like that always seem to happen in situations similar to yours! It's like the dirt knows what's up...tricksy dirt.

I feel for you, dude, it's pretty crappy having friends who are there when they need a favor but gone when you do. Where's your story posted? It'll take me a little while, since I'm finishing one review for Kyle, then doing one for Link, but I'll review it.

 

Hello hiddennovelist,

Thank you, I'd be very grateful if you'd do that. In fact, I'd be grateful to get any opinion from someone who is not related to me. It's under the horror session - entitled "The Portrait". I think it's the fourth thread.

 

Davi_Alan: I'll review your story in the next couple of days. When I review, I usually do those without any reviews first so not sure why I didn't see yours.

I've always hated the fact that I've had to wear glasses for most of my life. (Although more people seem to be wearing glasses...) I'd hate to go blind, I don't know what I'd do.

Glad there's technology that allows you still to do what you want, and hopefully your good right eye won't get any worse. (I just thought of this crazy idea about how you could invent this little protector thing for your eye so nothing flies into it..)

I avoided getting that HPV injection thingy. I was meant to get it at school, but then I was like 'no, I'm getting it at my doctor's' and then I just never arranged it. I was a bit wary about getting it considering it hadn't been out long (can't remember if I was the guinea pig year or not).

Hopefully the infection isn't too serious and doesn't last much longer.

 

So I'm beginning to work on an old, failed-novel attempt of mine (now I'm using the phrase 'long story' as I really hate the word novel) and as I'm writing it, I'm wanting it to be good, but no matter how I write the odd line, it's nothing compared to how I Want to write it. It's getting me down.
