The Not Happy Thread

Stupid Bioware Forums! I can't access the Mass Effect Spoilers page (post in it) unless I register my game.

WHY!? This is a scam, I'm telling ya! Why can't I simply go post in the spoilers page? What if I had a question about the ending of the second Mass Effect game!? I'll have to either register the damned game or be quiet about it.

*sics Sheperd on them*

 

Complete noobie here... but whats wrong with registering the game?

Also you could just ask other people in other places. The internet is a big place and for popular games like Mass effect there are going to be forums and websites dedicated to it and such.

Though why on earth would you have to register it anyways? I mean what could be the benifit of it? You'd think it would annoy more people. Then again I guess I could see it as a nice weeding tool. Get rid of the idiots and annoying peoples. Not that I am calling or hinting at or whatever that you are an idiot or annoying. lol

 

Poor you. Hope you feel better soon!

Hope the tests went okay, and you're feeling better.

 

I am so sorry to hear this. I hope that whatever is the problem, it is cured and clears up as soon as possible. I will be thinking of you until then. As for creativity, remember not to push yourself too hard. Do other creative things other than writing or painting if it's too difficult right now. Sew or string beads or read or come up with recipes that may or may not turn out well ( ), listen to music or sing your adaptations of favorite songs... etc. I find that pushing myself makes it worse, so when I turn my outlet to a different activity that still requires some degree of creativity or imagination, I find that whatever I was struggling with earlier falls into my lap a bit easier when I'm not upset over it.

I'm just busy missing my dog like crazy. I think I'm going home next weekend, but it's not soon enough. I miss this energetic, three-year-old-behaving, goofy, snuggling, barking, jumping ball of love.

HOW CAN YOU NOT MISS THIS FACE?
My heart hurts.

 

w176, feel better soon!! Do you know what the problem is?

Merc, awesome dog. Way cute.

I've been feeling queasy and off this week.

 

Next door taking the piss again. Starting their crap 'music' at 8am on a Saturday, cutting into my lie-in. Going by the noises next door, it's a house party. Wonderful.

Because just listening to drum and bass ****e at antisocial hours wasn't enough, they're now going to spend the whole of the weekend having all kinds of drunken ****tards gallumphing around the house making even more noise, making the processed beats and repetitive bass louder and disrupting my sleep even more.

If it gets to 11 tonight and they're still at it, listening to crap and ****ing like rabbits on viagra, I'm going to bring in the police. Because it's gone far enough. And on Monday I'm phoning the letting company and informing the landlord of the breaches of the conditions of the contract. Hopefully the landlord will evict the brain-dead, part-time ****ers.

Apologies for the bad language. However, considering the context, it's the best chance I have to vent.

 

Well it's almost Midnight, almost bed time. Pity it's like 30C in the bedroom. and more muggy then i want to admit. Will sleep with the window open. I've been told the winds are on the way.


Apparently two pigeons farted. I look forward to it.

Oh, and i think i pissed my partner off. You hang around, become annoying and you annoy aome people. You want to spend some time alone, to read, write and you know bum around, and yeah...you piss them off as well.

Eh!

 

Last night kinda sucked. I had the show in Yuba City (37.7 miles from home). My right contact was bugging me the whole way. I took it out at the theater to see if it need rinsed. It had a little tear in it. I tried putting it back in anyway, but it hurt. It even hurt after I took it out. I think I scratched my cornea a little because my eye still bugs me a bit this morning. So I did the show and had to drive home with only one contact. It was trippy. Had to get gas in order to have enough to make hte drive back...my card was declined. I just put 216 dollars in the account on Thursday and haven't used the card since. Don't know what is going on. Delayed late fees from when I overdrew by 7 cents two weeks ago? I only had 4 dollars on me so I had to borrow some cash from a castmate I know for fact is unemployed. Embarrassing. Going to the bank today to find out what happened. I have two prescriptions waiting for me at hte pharmacy...gotta pay for them somehow. End of rant.

 

Save Our Libraries day today which sadly I forgot about otherwise I would've gone to my local library and supported the protests against the proposed closures of libraries. Anyway, I hope they don't close all these libraries they're proposing to, it is rather sad. :/ We need libraries.

 

^ Say it isn't so! That is shocking. I should have gone to my library today.

 

I wish it wasn't so. They're proposing to close certain branches in the UK. :/ Don't think it's happening where you are in the USA luckily for you.

 

Still, I have heard some recent grumbles of it here. My library has been well funded through the years, but right now with the economy, it hasn't been doing as well as we would like. That is so awful to hear about in the UK. I pray that never happens. It would be too tragic.

 

Makes it sound more selective than it is. Cash strapped councils are basically closing whichever they can get away with. As many as they can get away with. I think the Isle of Wight are closing something like 9 out of 11 libraries?

It's an utter disgrace, and if they weren't already on it, Eric Pickles and Ed Vaizey would have made it onto my "people I want to punch in the face" list for this alone/

 

Woah, so Isle of Wight gets left with only two libraries? That's awful. The only other figure I've heard is that they're closing 14 of 26 libraries in Doncaster (it's been given the go ahead). :/

 

It's an utter disgrace. Kate Mosse was on the BBC saying that libraries are the only 'public indoor space' where people have free access to services. She's so right. Libraries are so multifunctional. It's not just books but internet too, book groups, other services.

The Tories are wearing me out. I don't know for how much longer I can stay this mad! Today with the whole "multiculturalism isn't working" thing... don't get me started.

Personal gripe now: when you organise 'girls' nights out and specifically say "haven't had a girls night out in ages etc etc" then ONE of us (always one!) brings along her boyfriend! Unbelievable! And another thing, why would a self respecting man tag along to a girly night?

 

Aw, Mina, that sounds like a terrible day indeed! I had some trouble with my contacts too the other day, but I think it was because of the shampoo I used- my eyes started tearing and hurting a lot. Hope your eye feels better!

And having your card declined is no fun either... never had it happen to me yet, but just imagining it sounds like a nightmare. I hope it's nothing too bad and that it'll function again soon.

 

Omg, that happened to me. I was so annoyed, and yet another girl in our group, who is supposedly a friend, had a go at me for being annoyed that I was now expected to make conversation with this girls bf (who is an utter mysoginist arsehole btw) and his weirdo friend! Hate it when people do this!

 

Women make odd jokes about how men think only with their genitalia and should always bow to whatever their harpy girlfriend wishes.

This annoys me. I should start making jokes about how women belong in the kitchen or the bedroom...maybe the nursery as well...nah, not original enough...

 

I don't think I've ever made a joke like that... and I probably spend most of my day in the kitchen. But I'm just a strange girl.


As for my not happy... well, I'm just not happy. I feel rather lonely- even with my ginormous family around.

 

I'm sorry you feel lonely lyd

*hugs*

I ended up leaving school early yesterday which means I now have to make up two tests, but leaving was definately the right decision...I honestly don't know how I could have made it if I didn't. The part about it that sucks though, is i feel just as miserable and sick today as I did yesterday. And since we're having a super bowl party tomorrow I've spent the morning doing housework which definately has not done me any favors. Not to mention I still have to do more chores and do my homework...

 

Your parents make you do chores with you're sick, Yellow? That sucks. Tell them to give you a damn break.

Hope you feel better soon.

Lydia, sorry you're feeling lonely. Sometimes having people around just doesn't help; I feel my most vulnerable and lonely in crowds.

 

I just realised I bought Alpen this morning.

This makes me actually old

 

Sabreur, I have a shirt that says "I should be in the kitchen." I like to wear it around my dad's family to see if I can get a rise out of them, but they probably just see at and think "good, she knows her place."

I'm sorry to all of you having bad days. Was going to multiquote, but I'm on several different painkillers, so I'm a little loopy.

Until today, I had never been in so much pain that it made me throw up. Now I have...and I'm not a fan.

 

Lydia: Sorry you feel lonely. It sucks.

yellow: Hope you feel better soon, and don't worry too much about house chores as your family should really give you a break.

Dante: Do you mean Alpen as in the cereal bar brand, or something completely different? :S

hiddennovelist: Sorry you're in so much pain, hopefully you get better soon.

 

The thing is, would you deny that some men base their whole attitude to women with certain parts of their anatomy? That's what women are commenting on.

I don't think that's a licence to make sexist jokes about how all women 'belong in the kitchen.'

I think you've missed the point.

@Ash re the girl's night invaded by men. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with having nights out where you've specified that everyone is to bring their partner along. It's when everyone has purposefully come out to spend time with friends and then they have to entertain the 'weird' boyfriend. And why is it always the weird one? Lol. Before anyone thinks this is sexist - I'm sure exactly the same applies to men having boys nights and a random girlfriend comes along.
