Now they're treating more like a child than ever. They keep talking about my quality of life- how do they know I won't be hit by a truck right now that collides through my living room wall? Do they honestly think I'm going to live forever, anyway? I guess it doesn't matter. It's just a pointless rant. Also, my scoliosis specialist looks like Dr. Klopek from "The 'Burbs", has incredibly cold hands, talks in a monotone, and doesn't bother to help with the open back of my hospital gown when he's done whatever it is he does. His assistant was nice, though. He acted like a living human being.

Oh, Sweetie! You have my good wishes and prayers.

ok.. i've been avoiding posting here for a bit, because i never know what to say..

Fenris, i'm sorry for your loss.. i'm terrible with words at times like this, but i do have a knack for hugs and open ears..

Xnguela, i have a friend just like yours.. unfortunately she will probably never listen.. but thankfully one day her hindsight will be 20/20..

Jane, i hope everything goes well whichever way you decide to go on your surgery... I will burn a prayer for your health ^_^

wolfie, just focus on the no more birth control evar thought and you should pull through totally fine ^_^

Now..
with all of that belatedness covered *gomen nasai!*

the bitchery will ensue..

Some of you know that i have half the fucking city of pphoenix living in my house.. and there are a couple of people i could live without being here...
Today we will discuss the eternal zit upon my ass we shall call IT..
IT belongs to my older brother.. IT is his girlfriend *it will tell you it's his wife though... IT will also tell you IT's a Japanese princess, IT was a Navy Seal and it is a registered nurse.. we both went to school for medical assisting wich is right under an RN.. she couldn't do the homework.. she has trouble helping the babysitting kids who are in kindergarten and first grade with homework O_O no lie...*
ANYWAY..
IT is pregnant out to ----------------------------------------------------------here so it's all moody anyway, tack that onto a mental health file to--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------here
and a mother that is fruitier than a nutcake...
It has been in and out of our lives for the last 4 years and everytime she comes in things get uglier than Elbryan's feet..
there is endless stress and fund expenditure and my brother refuses to get rid of IT..
We can't keeps friends.. she makes everything about her when they're here and spreads lies and rumours behind our backs..
If we have male guests over she will throw herself at them and waits till they leave and starts telling how they hit on her and how they loved her big ass and blue eyes.. i'll give her the charm factor.. but it's on;y valid for about a week.. then comes the rise of the DEMONBEAST...
This is when it shows its true childish, manipulative self centered self..
It is a nassssty hobbitses....
IT makes up stories so people will feel sorry for IT.. me and my parents have to go behind her and tell the truth of things constantly..
My aunt is coming to stay with us next week from north carolina.. normally this would be great, she is my favourite aunt and all.. but my aunt hates IT too.. IT hit on my aunt's girlfriend..and she knows all the stupid antics IT pulls on a regular basis..
It meddles in mine and my parent's personal lives.. It will pick fights between them or try to hog all the attention from my current girlfriend or boyfriend....
i hate her..
my parents hate her...
i wish she would run back to her mommy's house already..
every summer she leaves my brother some kind of fucked up way and goes off to fuck another man... for the whole summer and them comes crawling back when she can't find anyone as good as him *by that i mean willing to support her fat dumb lazy ass*
i wanna run away.. can i stay with one of you guys?? :shock:

FenrisQueen · 03-30-2005, 09:29 PM

stay with me! stay with me!

I just got suspended for two days. Yay! Apparently they care that I skipped fourth period on st.paddy's day (I'm irish. Asking me not to do anything stupid on st.paddy's day is like asking the pope not to pray.) and havent shown up for *um* any detentions this semester.

And i broke a promise to myself. I always said I would never go to a frat party, but last thursday, Pi Delta Alpha and I got acquainted. A frat boy sewed a misfits patch on my jacket! On a less cheerful note, I got drunk enough to warrant falling off a non-moving motorcycle yup.

and my familial units been arguing again. I ended up calling my friend Jordan and spending the night at his place so I could get some godamn sleep. Plus, my mom's losing her job.

The wonders of life.

Solumina · 03-31-2005, 03:00 PM

Me too!

Jane13 · 03-31-2005, 06:00 PM

Wow, Jade... I'm sorry about IT. I know someone like that, but I don't have to live with her. Good luck to you!

Fenris... interesting, but getting punished is annoying >.< Sorry for the apparant bad luck (My friend got in trouble for wearing a shirt that said "Fuck Me, I'm Irish!" on St.Pat's day...)

And thanks everyone for the support.

Jane13 · 04-01-2005, 06:07 PM

Wow, I didn't break an ankel, but I once walked into a room, turned on a light (making the room fully lit), saw a suitcase... and screamed. It was like... it processed in my head that it was a suitcase... and.. blarg 0.o

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who's done that! :lol:

It wasn't a suitcase, but other things, and mirrors, and stuff.

Jane13 · 04-02-2005, 06:03 AM

We'll have to watch out for each other... I'll protect you from your shadow, and you protect me from evil suitcases ^.^

MrMaelstrom · 04-02-2005, 06:16 AM

I'm starting to wonder what kind of meds I'm being given, 'cause everybody else is hallucinating and I ain't!!!!

It ain't fair, people. Old mods need drugs too. :cry:

TeapotScar · 04-03-2005, 01:44 AM

Raise your hand if you're completely over everything in the world.

*Raises hand*.

J'en ai marre. Je dois vivre seule, l'annee prochaine. Il faut que mes amies arreterent me traiter comme je suis moins qu'elles. Je ne suis pas d'echelle pour vous de vous mettre plus et plus haut... Je ne suis pas stupide. Je joues, quelquefois, mais c'est seulement un joue, et je pensais que vous l'avez su. Vous me faites sentir... oi je ne sais pas- comme je ne suis rien. Vous, et vous seules, savez ce que je fais... Vous savez que je sens comme rien, sans avec votre aide. Quelquefois, c'est trop. Je ne fais rien.... jamais! Alors, quelquefois, je me defends, mais quand je le fais, vous m'attaquez plus! C'est inutile de vous parler- vous n'entendez rien. D'ailleurs, vous ne vous souciez pas. Je n'aimes pas les gens qui ne pouvent JAMAIS etre serieux et arreter les affronts. Ridicule...

Je ne peux plus attendre l'ete... je vais etre seule. Je n'aimes plus la humanite. Il y a toujours un autre motif... pour tous...UGH J'en ai marre!

And most of fucking all I hate that I can't speak French for my freaking life, and I've been studying it for 7 fucking years. 7 out of 18 years of my cock-sucking, mother-fucking life... fuuuuuuck all.

*sigh*

One month...just one lousy, stinking, putrid MONTH my computer ran fine. >.<

Last month, my Hard Drive was WIPED by some virus that Norton actually missed. Zapped, killed, all data lost. Including Six. Thousand. MP3s!

And what happens? It does it again, last night!!!!

So, on to the troubleshooting that I am starting to become an unwilling expert at. It started out simple enough. The computer locked up tighter than a drum. I had to hardboot it. And when it starts to come back up? I get this lovely little DOS window saying "Invalid System Disk".

ARRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!

So, tried all the possible combinations of trying to restore that damn thing. Oh, no! That little blinking cursor on that plain black screen just blinks menacingly at me, and mulishly refuses to do what I want.

So, it's the fdisk, and reformat. Then change out keyboards to install the OS (for some reason the WinXP installation refuses to acknolege the keyboard we usually use), then install the drivers for the motherboard, and the harddrive, and then Sam tries to reinstall his Evercrack, and keeps getting the .dll error. He needs DirectX to play. So he keeps downloading and installing the DirectX, and -STILL- gets the .dll error, which means, uninstalling the game and the DirectX, and tryng a different way. It took 4 hours of trying this over and over again (and isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results?), when it occurred to me to ask him if he'd gone to Microsoft and installed all the updates, first. He hadn't. He did. The game installed just fine. >.<

But I still had no sound.

When he finally let me back on the 'puter, I asked him if he installed -ALL- the software for the motherboard. He apparently hadn't.

I did.

Guess what? The DirectX was in the drivers for the motherboard (for the video and sound cards).

Guess who just set up a special "reformat" pack, with step-by-steps of installation, in the order it needs to be installed? :P

(Sam's actually normally a very calm guy, and a damn good tech....except when it's "his" computer that goes tits-up...and I learned long ago, growing up around car guys...its better to just stay the hell out of the way for the most part)

Anyhow, I'm fixed. For the most part.

Oh, and the cause, this time? Microsoft's New Spyware scan. I've used Spybot and AdAware for ages, and never had a problem with either of them...they even play well together, now. And as long as we don't forget to keep the live update on Norton running, we don't have a problem with virii (okay, ONE time...we disabled it for some maintenance and forgot to turn it back on).

But the new MS spyware scan doesn't play well at all. We found this out on our own, and later on today, a freind mentioned that several other people he knows had the same problem.

Well, since Spybot and AdAware are a known quantity, and the MS Spyware scan wants to play in my sandbox all by itself...guess what's NOT being invited back?

And I'm off tomorrow to get a spindle of CDRWs. Fuck backing up every 6 months (which is what all the other techies say is just fine). It's going to be once a month...if not more often.

Heh. I remember my freshman year at that college - bemoaning the fact that there I was at a 7:2 girl/straight guy ratio and I couldn't even get a girl to glance my way.

Of course, back then there were at least parties. :P Of course, it was people like me, who crawled on his hands and knees down the hallway of [UGLY FRRESHMAN DORM REMOVED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT] and spent the night vomiting in the shower.

Ah, the memories.

MrMaelstrom · 04-03-2005, 09:32 AM

Yup. It was bad for me too.
I went out every night and got laid so often I didn't attend any classes and dropped out of college.

Stay in school kids.

I think you've just become the envy of every guy on this board (as if you weren't already).

MrMaelstrom · 04-03-2005, 01:57 PM

Well, they got things like jobs and money, so nature makes amends.

All I got is a rattle-snake suitcase under my arm,
I'm a mean machine,
been drinking gasoline
and baby you can make my motor hum,
I got one chance left in nine life cat,
I got a dog-eat-dog sly smile,
I got a molotov cocktail and a match to go,
I smoke my cigarrette with style...

Yes, children, it's Guns'n'Roses, so fuckin' what? :evil:

drgnlvr · 04-03-2005, 02:11 PM
