The Official Rant Thread

[Cheezdude]

Arrgh! my older brother is such a jerk! Today he decides to alt+f4 me while on the computer. Then He demanded to know why I haven't responded to his e-mails, the last one I got from him was in June. Now, he's annoying me while I'm sick and what's worse he gets his jack assiness from both sides of the family, he's not just a jack ass... He's a super jack ass.

Marley's your brother?

Atma.

You are AWESOME.

[Josiah]

Ok, ok, be nice.

I just downloaded Google Chrome. From what I've seen I believe I may theorize that it is made of love! So fast!

[Giga-Gar]

er, wrong thread.

[Astral Omega]

Okay, rant tiem.

I am 18 years old.

I am told I have to vote or go to jail, I'm allowed to attend nightclubs, drink, I have to fill out mountains of paperwork for everything and everything else expected by an adult.

I'm also woken up early becasuse it's "chore day" or because I have to do some housework while people are out or because I can't just sleep the day away or some crap like that.

I just can't wait to move out and get my own place. I need somewhere I can make my own decisions like the adult I'm expected to be.

I will be able to stay up late talking to my friends on MSN and not have to worrry about getting woken up early then being tired because I've only had 3 hours sleep and being told it's "self inflicted."

I DO NOT CONTROL INTERNATIONAL TIME ZONES! HOW CAN I TALK TO MY FRIENDS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN THE MOST SUITIBLE TIMES ARE EITHER WHEN I'M AT WORK, WHEN I HAVE TO GO OUT TO DO BUISINESS LIKE FRACKING DEALING WITH CENTERLINK AND OTHER CRAP ADULTS ARE EXPECTED TO DO OR WHEN I'M ASLEEP!?

I tell you, I typed a bad word there and then backspaced. THAT'S how unhappy I am right at this very second.

Angry Astral is Angry.
Sleep Deprived Astral is also Sleep Deprived.

I feel trapped here. I just want out. But the world runs on something I just don't have so I can't go anywhere. I feel like I will probably be treated like a CHILD until the day I die here of old age, still with my parents.

Now, I'm tired and cranky and I'm going... OH NO! That's right I CAN'T go back to bed even though I worked until MIDNIGHT last night and then I couldn't even talk to my friends because of a FRACKING THUNDERSTORM meaning I had to turn the computer off.

AND I have to start work and hour EARLIER tonight because of a huge christmas party we have to deal with being so early.

I better get off early tonight. I'll probably end up breaking something if I don't. I can only hope my mood has improved by the time I get to work.

THANK GOD I DON'T WORK TOMORROW!

Although I was informed that tomorrow If I stay up until early hours of the morning I can't just sleep until I wake up... No, I'll get woken up so the rest of the family won't have to "tiptoe around me." I need to catch up on a few day's worth of sleep here or I'm going to get ill. I know it. It always happens.

"Well so do I," Mum says because she's had to get up really early to take Dad to work the last few days then had to stay up for the other kids to get ready for school. Ha! Maybe I should throw that "It's self inflicted" thing back in her face. She's the one that got married and had a family after all.

My exam today was cancelled due to mass power outage that lasted a good 2 hours or so. The exam may be delayed up until the 20th. I booked a flight home days ago for the 11th. I might have just lost over a week of my Christmas holidays, which I was planning on spending at work, so I could get some money and actually do something besides lurk in my room on msn 24/7. I just want to get home and enjoy life, not sit in my residence doing nothing for a week, waiting to do an exam that was supposed to happen today. This seriously sucks. Oh, and all the snow melted again, but it's still freezing out.

*Edit: 500th post.*
*Edit again: Crisis avoided, the exam was rescheduled for this sunday! *

Alright, this is going to be a stupid rant, but...

I HATE my computer screen. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!

Why? Half the time it takes on this odd yellow tint! I can't sprite or do anything color related when it takes this tint? All blue colors turn black (except the lightest shades) under this tint, and every other color is distorted.

It's being worse than usual. I want to go finish my IPA Apprentice sprite, but the computer won't return to normal. I feel like I'm sitting here....waiting for the window of oppurtunity....but it won't come! Gah!

I need a new one for Christmas.....

That's what I got last year. It was installed when I got up and it had a bow on it. I used it until I opened my gifts. =D

I did say I would.

So, first thing bugging me. Today was first day of finals at my college. I got up at 7 AM, dressed, ate breakfast, and left for my exam (which is located at the other end of campus). Got there and found out that the room I was SUPPOSED to be having my calculus final in was already occupied by chemistry students. I got very confused (and worried, because it was 8 and exams started then), wandered all over the building trying to find where my room was, failed, walked over to my friend's dorm since he was nearby, and tried seeing if I could borrow his laptop or something to check online, but he was either asleep or at an exam of his own.
In a rather desperate attempt to figure out where the heck my math final was, I walked halfway back across campus and visited the hall where I usually have math lecture. It was also occupied, but not by my class. The guy in charge of that room suggested I go down to the library (which was only a few minutes' walk away) and use the computers there to look up my class. I did.
Turns out my math final isn't until WEDNESDAY from 7-10 PM. - -
I'd confused my math and art final times. We technically turned in our art finals last Thursday, so our TA told us we didn't have to go to the assigned final time. I thought THAT was the one I had on Wednesday, but it turned out to be the one today.
So I'm rather annoyed I didn't notice this beforehand and so save myself a lot of walking and stressing out.

Ahem.

Second thing that's bothering me. It's not contributing to my annoyance very much, but it's still there.
After what we just said in the New RP Discussion thread, someone goes and makes ANOTHER RP without first asking everyone else if they're interested in it. Sure, the creator of the thread is a new member. But in my opinion, that isn't a valid excuse. In fact, being a new member means you should have read all existing threads already, or at least looked through them. Find out the preexisting rules before accidentally breaking one through ignorance.
I don't have anything against Spoinky personally, and I'm not trying to flame anyone, but this type of thing just really gets on my nerves.

I'm done. Tell me off if you want.

[Cheezdude]

Today. We did a experiment in Science involving eggs. I got some egg yolk on my shirt. My mom saw a egged car. She saw me. And she assumed I did it. I told her to phone my Science teacher and ask him about the eggs, but she wouldn't. And I'm in trouble. v.v

[PoikSpirit]

Explain it to your teacher tomorrow, I'm sure he'll understand and you can ask him to write a note for your mother. This process seems to usually be the other way around, doesn't it?

[Giga-Gar]

Oh how I loath this day. first of all, I do not have the patience for a monologe, so option a is out. second of all, I do not like the incensed option, which to me equates to flaming.

Josiah, aside from the first two days, this is easly the worst and hardest week or randomness(or is it...bleh. I want to be original, not cliche!). I mean, come on! No verbs! verbs are one of the esential parts to an understandible sentince! Become Easly Incenced Day! That might as well be "Flame People Becaused I Said So!" I'm going to stop right here, because this is turing more into a flame then a rant.

[PoikSpirit]

You know what Gar! I enjoyed it! I mean, if it weren't for challenges you'd still be playing Pong, or even stickball! Plus, it was rather amusing floundering for verblessness. So whether you liked it or not, you should at least respect the challenge of it! Also, I'm wondering if surviving this makes us any stranger a person. (See Say something random thread.) Then again, considering how strange we all are, I don't think that's possible. So, what I'm trying to say is "Thank you Josiah, darn it." Because thanking is hard to do when incensed, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to properly portray a cliché Aussie accent! G'day mate!
Now, a cliché British accent I might be able do, but that wouldn't be too much of a challenge. Or would it?

[Silver]

It's quite a mystery to me why you people got so upset about being easily incensed... getting upset does not equal flaming. It was supposed to be funny. You know, like, "Today, I ate chicken for lunch." And then you say, "How could you do such a thing?! That poor chicken! You're a horrible, carnivorous beast and I'm going to tell PETA on you!" That's being easily incensed. You see? That's not offensive. No human being is that stupid, aside from PETA, who was referenced as a joke. It's not the same as flaming at all when the word "easily" is added there. The fact that you take yourself so seriously is what gets me incensed...

Or is it? Who knows, maybe I really do think you're a horrible beast for eating chicken. Did you even eat chicken, I wonder...?

[PoikSpirit]

Maybe some people just don't like incensedness. Maybe they're sensitive to synthesized emotions. Maybe these people are the ones who cry at sad movies. Ever think that? Although, you're right. It was all just for a laugh. It is a little silly, but just like sarcasm, not everyone enjoys a twisted but good-natured poke at convention. Don't know why? But hey, the world takes all kinds, don't it.
