So, my book might not be published after all. Mostly due to the contract being unclear and the fact I have no way to pick up contact with the publisher except for asking them to contact me. Apperently I'm also not allowed to contact them at all, which seems a bit shady. So I'm going to ask them some qeustions first to make sure it's all legit, and then after we can take a look at the possibility of publishing.
It sure blows, but it's better than getting fucked over. According to the contract they have the right to sue me for 40x the sellingprice of the book (12,50 atleast, so ±500 if they DO do it.), and instead of 10% royalties I get 4% (this is from a source on the internet, nowhere in the contract)
I'm really not sure if I want these people to publish my book anymore, it's all a huge mess
Gotta go to work in like an hour and my clothes are still in the washer. Ugh.
Angry about myself because when I am not in relationship, I decide to show interest to few girls, arrange dates etc... I don't aim for one but rather for 3-4 at same time (e.g - date of Friday, Sunday, Monday and Wednesday), so i attend all these dates and then starts more serious business like talking about next date, when we will meet and stuff.
Then out of sudden I get lost and confused by what I actually want, and end up running away from all those dates and remaining single again until next date-attack.
Guess I need to apply saying: "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" and decide on what I actually want rather than try and strike all at same time and then assume I can "pick one".
This happened three times to me now over past 2 years and this seriously makes me afraid to get into relationship.

I don't even know what everyone saw in that story. I'm a pretty emotional guy in that I feel really bad for others, but I never read that thread twice.

How EVERYONE does this. Fml.
I've been stressed recently, too stressed, I was almost sick on the walk to college this morning. The only time I'm not filled with guilt and fear and worry is when I'm drunk or high, and that's not healthy at all
fuck, my brother took my laptop charger this morning because apparently he waited until the last second to do a project and "the internet wasn't working here". kicker is that there's another charger that works with his but "it doesn't work sometimes." he usually doesn't get home from college until 8-12
I need to do my schoolwork too you asshole
I really hate to feel uncreative a day or more after having a rush of creativity. It makes me sad and feel like a dumbass.
How my stepdad is one of those people who believe Idiocracy is a documentary.
Hey everything's going well with the school project!
Got Premier installed on the computer, ready to put it aaaall together.
But here; everything is out of focus except 2 whole clips!
I'm just gonna go lay down and give up on life and even thinking about getting a grade because I'm way too fucking stressed for this shit.
[QUOTE=Miasmic;47341502]Because of my debit card being autistic and not letting me make an online purchase, I've to wait until Friday to transfer 800 dollars over to another account so I can use that card to finally make the purchase, and then wait another week to finally have my dream computer.
Fuck[/QUOTE]
when people use autistic as a synonym for stupid
like, it's not even that satisfying to say, like fuck, shit, or even retarded. like it's specifically used as an insult to make people uncomfortable
nothing against you, Miasmic, i was just reminded of this by your post.
only one hour of sleep and still I have work to do. I hate midterms...
Also been up 17 hrs and found out I have an anxiety disorder...what a fun day.
I can only get 2 more therapy appointments for the month, and then my therapist's times are completely filled until June.
constant injuries that have prevented me from reaching even close to my full potential
case in point: blowing out my back today squatting 295lbs when i was doing 450lbs a few years back
I know it's a trend that Texas is getting more liberal, but I think that's way overstated. I live in a suburb just outside a city here, and today in class, we were talking about Oscar Wilde, how he was gay, and how he was thrown in prison for being gay. The class not only had a reaction to him being gay that could be boiled down to "Ew, icky!", but they also implied he would enjoy prison rape because he's gay. Sure, teenagers will be teenagers, but how about the house I walked past today where I spotted multiple confederate flags hanging in the garage, and that's just one of the houses I've seen with these things. I remember another one as well, and I've probably seen others I've forgotten about.
We might apparently be getting more liberal, but I'm not seeing it.
this week has been one of the worst in my life, I really don't want to deal with anything right now, I just want to sit at home and sleep all day.
I went to uni to turn in a weekly lab, I got there 10 minutes late, the tutor walked past me and marked the person next to me so I said alright I'll just do some other work. An hour later and everyone is gone except for 4 people at the back and hes sitting there talking to them about how much he swears. So I just got up and left. I gotta go to work all week and put a smile on and I feel like shit inside right now.

also I watched flash gordon last night, it was a terrible waste of my time
My dad pisses me off.
He calls and tells me in ten minutes I have to go downstairs and pick up my 15-year-old sister and fucking escort her up the elevator because hurr durr young women get raped it's a shady neighborhood durrr.
Oh sure dad, it's not like she takes the elevator in this exact house five times a week, walks to school every day and there hasn't been any sort of illegal activity in this area for the last AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS.
And the worst part is, when he called me and said to go downstairs, he wasn't even there. I waited five minutes. Still didn't show up. Went back up five flights of stairs and spent ten minutes playing MWO and then my sister walked through the door. If you were going to send her up anyway, what's the fucking point?
It's fucking HOT in this room. Literally no other place in this house is this fucking bad. Can't turn on the AC because it's one of those smart ones that alerts my dad when a setting is changed and he'll turn it right off. I can't sleep drowning in this bullshit sweat.
Fenrir is so fucking easy and I hate him
So I got a new new 3ds. I never owned an old 3ds.
and it didn't come with a charger, was pretty annoyed when I got home.
Plus the damn things already got a fair share of dead pixels. Getting it replaced, but its been a pain.
miserable 4ever
I strongly believe some people are just born with a deep rooted sadness in their soul that will never heal
so are you suggesting that you have wounds that will not heal?
is fear how you fall?
are you confusing what is real
I ate mcdunnals after work. I'm gonna die tomorrow.
I don't know why people thinking they're being socially progressive keep throwing shitfits about female characters in media being vulnerable or sexualized. In my mind all this does is tack on the problems guys deal with, not being allowed to be vulnerable, on to women. It's stupid, often involves major double standards, and if followed is just going to create generic Mary Sue girl characters who can't ever be vulnerable or hurt. It's very limiting, and actually sexist. :v:
My little step brother is in the 'horror-phase' of his childhood and is absolutely obsessed with Five Nights at Freddy's and will not stop asking me what my favourite horror game is and likes to use uber in every sentence. I was stupid to tell him Outlast was pretty scary and that I nearly cried when playing it so he thought he could withstand it himself and watched an uncensored playthrough of the DLC.
Now I think my step mother hates me and that the moral of the story is I am terrible with kids. ;-;
Mom suggested that I make yet another appointment with the docbbecause Im tired all the time. She also said I cant think rationally right now which is def. true but every time I have to do something I come off as lazy which is against my intention. Im sorry I completely fail to jump up happy go lucky every time someone suggests something... Ive talked with so many people about rhis sshit now but it feels like a total fucking waste of everyones time. e erything i do feels that way. Im also feeling fucking ungratefult hat i physically cannot enjoy the things that I have whatever it may be because I have no money and Ifeel like a burden to everyone that has to deal with me Is this what being depressed is like?
I also completely forget the advice people give me all the fucking time because it doeant get through my thick fucking skull which is why I think I waste everyones time. I have 0 social skills I am incapable of making or taking a fucking joke Im just fucking silent all the time and whrn i arent im whining Bout oh woe is me

Look at it on the bright side. You can just observe the drunks doing the stupidest, funniest shit and you'll be guaranteed to remember it. And because it's Saint Patrick's there are gonna be a LOT of drunks. And hell, who knows what drunkards might become your best friend if you just hang out while they're dog buggered

i don't get why it's so hard to write a woman
most people are of the mindset that women are generally more complicated and emotional people than men, so you would figure any writer worth their space in the universe would see that as an oppertunity and use it, or, write a woman that isn't that.
So I gotta find another publisher, if only life was as easy as the sims
