    I would write, but when I'm this angry at someone, my writing tends to come out really bitchy...I'm not sure I want this recorded in writing. ;)

    And I'm actually kind of a huge, judgmental bitch, so there are a lot of people that I dislike, but most of them don't get under my skin unless I'm forced to be around them. With my sister's fiance, however, just hearing his name...or anything connected to him, for that matter...is enough to make me want to punch something. It just really bothers me that my sister is so willing to let some unintelligent, racist *sshole take control of her life and tear all her potential down to nothing.

    Two answers: First use the anger to write a "bitchy" theme with a character. 90% of my battles are written when I am pissed.

    Second I have an uncle who is a bigot and thinks the world of his family and absolutely could care less about the extended families. For example he is the kind of person who would schedule his Daughters graduation party the same day as yours because God for bid any body should think that anything is more important then his little princess stuck up snobby daughters graduation....I stop now cause I am getting pissed just thinking about that worthless man.

    Moral: I feel your Pain Sister!

    At least it will be over soon. BTW -- Turns out essay scores aren't actually all that important in the long term anyway.

    Wait, is the one who's name begins with an R? Or someone else?
    Anyway, I'm sorry... maybe you should punch him and it'll make him better. ;)


    @ Dizzyspell: Wow, that must suck- what exactly is it that gives you the allergies?

    Thanks.

    I guess I just want/need, someone to blame for now, in hope it helps me deal with what's going on. It's hard. She began the trial drug today, apparently we will know within a week due to side effects the drug will cause, which they will need to give her drugs to stop those symptoms if they show up. If there are no symptoms, she isn't on it. I know deep down the government isn't to blame if she gets the placebo or the real drug, but at least there will be someone/something, to channel the anger at for a little while should the worst case scenario happen. Thanks. I'm off to cross my fingers and hope with all my heart she is on the real drug. Especially now that my 7 year old knows what is going on thanks to an idiot who said it where he could hear... :(

    I can kind of understand what you are going through there. I have often sat there imagining myself getting an electric knife and shoving it into the eye of one of my sisters partners. Among many other horrid things as well. He is a horrible, horrible man. Massive hugs to you. You are a good person, try not to let him win. You are better than he is. Massive hugs.

    I'm really nervous about my math grade -- it's at a 59% and with only 2 weeks left, if I don't get it up to a 60% by the end of school, I won't get the credit for the semester. I'm nervous -- I really need to get my grade up, and if I don't, I don't know what I'll do. :eek: I don't want to do summer school or credit recovery next year.

    I'm glad you can understand. Thanks for the sympathy.

    No, that's my younger sister's fiance. He's totally rad.

    Unfortunately, I didn't see Clint (the d-bag fiance) while we were in Arizona, since he and my sister don't feel the need to respond when we try to get a hold of them...otherwise, punching him in the face would have been good. :)

    Thanks, Tor. The electric knife thing sounds like a good idea...but I'll try to restrain myself.

    Don't stress too much, Gi! Just study hard for whatever work you have left, and I'm sure you'll pull your grade up. You can do it!

    When I'm pissed at someone, I form a plot where something really, really bad happens to them and my protagonist has to help them.

    I just ask myself: "What's the worst possible thing one could do to this person that'll tear them to the core?"

    Once I find that out, I plot it out.

    Thanks Heather. :) I'm meeting with my math teacher after school today to talk about what I can do to pull my grade up. Hopefully something productive will come of that discussion.

    There's something I want to do but many things in life are holding me back. It hurts a lot. It's even stopping me from writing which makes me sad.

    Math is tricky for me as well, even in college I had to visit the tutor center or meet with my professor. Math has never been intuitive to me, perhaps it is the way it is taught, or I'm just dense. Good luck.

    I hope meeting with your teacher helps. Math is hard for me, too, so you have my sympathy. Just keep working hard, though, and I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Send it to me, I'd love some rain!

    I've had extreme heartburn for the past three days, and it's starting to get really irritating. Saturday night, we went to a bout for my sister's roller derby league, and I almost had to leave early because I was fighting back the need to throw up. Practice tonight will be an interesting affair...

    ^Ooh, yikes :| I hope you get better soon, Hidden.

    Uh, well, if I could, I'd give you our whole week's worth of rain. But I don't think that'd be possible. :D

    I've just seriously had enough of it. Last year the whole month of June it rained and only stopped for three days. I think our weather is following the same pattern this year only a month early :(

    Thanks. Lucky for me, practice tonight turned into a free skate because apparently no coaches were available...so I'm spared trying to skate while my esophagus is on fire.

    Damn, that is a lot of rain. Our weather has been surprisingly nice so far, breezy and cool, but not a lot of moisture. It's starting to climb up into the nineties now, though, so our awesomely good weather is probably at an end. :rolleyes:

    My boss is an utter douche. I went to work yesterday really under the weather, like woozy and not able to focus on any meetings or my computer and I almost fainted but for the sake of my wages I stuck it out. Today I went in, still feeling awful, and I realised there wasn't actually any work to do. I thought about staying and being paid for doing nothing productive but then decided I ought to go home. SO I asked him for the day as holiday and DENIED because he wanted me to work on a campaign I haven't looked at for 6 months, which updates every two weeks, and I have no resource material for. I should add if I did any of this work incorrectly I stood to lose £250 of my wages. So I suggested I do a campaign I'm familiar with, DENIED, not enough work on it and he wanted me on the other one. So in the end I said stuff the days pay, I feel ill and walked out. So I'm probably going to be in trouble tomorrow but I hate that place and him and now my head hurts but I feel better for venting =D

    It really irritates me when bosses pull sh*t like that...my ASM at my old job used to always tell me when I came in feeling a little under the weather that it would be better for me to stay home and not get everyone else sick. Then, on days when I was too sick to come to work, he would talk crap to me when I came back and act like he didn't think I was really sick. ...? People can be such a-holes.

    I hope you feel better. :( And that you're not in too much trouble at work.

    It's official. I am the bane of all laptops everywhere. My new laptop, as I've mentioned before, is now a feista house for trojan viruses. My old laptop, which was already on its way out to begin with, has finally died.

    I've had it. I've had it with laptops. Clearly I can't keep up with one for more than a year.

    You know you can clean up the viruses and your new one will be back to normal, right? What kind of anti-virus software did you have installed on it? Because it sounds like you might want to look into better protection...or stop downloading risque material. ;) :p

    I'm on a public computer, and just noticed that there are specs on the keyboard that look suspiciously like skin flakes. ew ew ew....I brushed them off but the fact they were there is still gross.
