[QUOTE=kijji;47013593]There are some FPers who I've gotten to know relatively well who I would like to meet with in person one v. one and feel safe.[/QUOTE]
On a similar note, I would be willing to meet up with any FPers here who are going to be at PAX East this year. I am only going to be there on Friday March 6th though. PM me if you would be interested, since none of my IRL friends are going, and I find conventions more fun if you have a friend to chat with. I will also be in the BYOC.
I'm frustrated by my own ragequitting.
Whenever I'm drawing or doing something else that requires skill, precision and/or patience, I tend to get frustrated really easily if I fuck up some tiny detail too many times. Even if the drawing doesn't end up looking that bad, I'm still never satisfied by the end result and I just throw the paper into the paper shredder.
It's probably why my flash animation hobby never really got off the ground. For some reason I just have this desire to make some sort of content (music, art, videos) but my inability to not flip the fuck out when I make mistakes has stopped me from doing so.
So a friend of mine recently heard about these three girls who used to bother me a lot during sophomore year and a large chunk of junior year. I tried to explain to him that they used to do all sorts of shit to mess with me, from giving me love letters in class to trying to make me cheat on my ex-girlfriend, and how I completely refuse to even be in a relationship with them because of all that. My friend, however, is too stupid to realize that and he's acting like an over-sized child over the fact that I don't like them. The only reason he says I should date them is because they're physically attractive and that's it, and he says I'm a dumbass for not liking them, despite the fact that they don't have their act together, are grade A narcissists, hyprocrites, and so many other things that I hate in people, that I just refuse to be in a relationship with them. It really makes my blood boil when people try to tell me who I should date simply based off their appearance than anything else.

Good for you for staying away from that shit. It always sounded ridiculous when my parents would warn me about girls like that, but sweet fucking jesus they were right on the money with their warnings.
[QUOTE=Human Brutality;47013173]People who are condescending to those who are doing them a huge favor, saying that the person they are asking for help was "obstinate" about helping them with this massive job.
On another note, my friend's PTSD recovery is still moving along, and her agoraphobia is slowly being overcome, and we have begun working on the other main symptoms, that being her hyperawareness and intense paranoia.[/QUOTE]
If it's not too sensitive to ask, what trauma caused her to have PTSD in the first place?
This fucking bullshit:

Because I got a key from a reseller, since there's no fucking way I'm buying this game at full, 70$ price.
I don't know yet if my copy is still functional or not but if it's busted, I'm adding Ubisoft in my "Video Game Companies that can eat a dick" list and never buy shit from them again.
Winter can fuck off now.
Legitimately bad teammates in Smite.
I'd hoped that after the first time I told them to not go deep on their own they'd listen, but nope.

She was deployed in the Middle East, a Gunnery Sergeant in the USMC. She is one of three survivors of an ambush, and was captured for close to a week. During her capture, she was raped and tortured (this was based on reports of her injuries and what little she was able to tell them due to incoherence), further details of which I am not at liberty to divulge. She was found because the other two survivors made it back to their CO, who led a search party to find her and her captors. When she got back to the States... she was... broken and shattered. A shadow of a person. She will likely never have anything close to a normal life again, so the best I can do is help her along. She came back in October of last year, and only now is she able to see multiple people and hold a few minutes of conversation with friends and family. She is staying with my family and I because her family is unable to support her, due to financial trouble and general animosity between her and her parents.
I have grown used to being asked, and what I have written above is the same thing I say every time someone asks because it is what she approves of me saying. I will say no more because this is all she wants to tell.

Fix'd that for ya.
Today marks the first day of my last high school year. Didn't sleep so I'm feeling groggy as fuck. After having seen American Sniper a couple days back, which honestly caused me some internal distress (not sure why) I'm feeling all kinds of stressed and panicky right now. The fact I didn't do all to well last year doesn't help a whole lot either, but I guess things will unfold as they go.
How often I fuck shit up for my team in any co-op based game.
I am the worst fucking teammate.
I have a love/hate relationship with grinding in games.
It absolutely sucks when the grinding required is straight up demotivating and it feels like you put the first piece of a 1000-piece puzzle in place after you've slogged away at it for hours, and if the reward isn't satisfying then I'd argue that's straight up bad game design. I've played stereotypical Korean F2P MMO games where the grinding goes completely off the rails once you get to an above average level.
... But at the same time, I kept playing it. The ridiculous requirements made that level-up satisfying. Thing that really got me thinking about this is how the last few weeks I've been trying to level up in Red Orchestra 2 to get the hilariously fun MKB assault rifle. I really enjoy the game regardless, so the "grinding" was fun and all. But even then, when I finally got my hands on the thing today it was just really rewarding since I had worked towards it. In a game where otherwise you have the choice between SMGs with typical assault rifle mobility and deployed machine guns with typical assault rifle damage it's truly a gun that makes you very happy that the class limits usually means there's at most a handful of them on the map :v:
So I guess grinding doesn't make me mad by default, but 95% of the time it's just annoying. I can understand it in MMOs, and it's certainly a good way to make rewards feel rewarding. It's just a mechanic that really needs great rewards to feel like anything but a complete chore.
[QUOTE=Deathtrooper2;47013543]God man that sucks, my old pastor (I'm lutheran) use to have a different view instead of yours, he thought that basically that stuff sucks, but mostly kept it out of his sermons. He mostly said stuff about biblical stories and about how we should care about ongoing wars, he was a retired vietnam war veteran and military chaplain, i think he was a Marksman in a Spec Ops group in vietnam. (and his son is a navy seal). His idea to that stuff was if you did stuff like abortion, homosexuality, remarriage, or any other stuff like that is usually wrong, But if you believe in God and Jesus. You are basically fine.
Its like him saying that God knows you do some stuff wrong anyway, but still loves you.
I still find it ironic that my old pastor was a Marksman in Vietnam, and his son is a Navy seal, i remember he told me about a year ago that his son was after an African warlord.[/QUOTE]
Honestly, while my Mom and little brother aren't, I'm probably going to end up Lutheran.
The longer I sit through this asshole preaching his politics the more I go "I don't care" and the more I go "I don't care" the less respect I have to him and the less respect I have to him the less I care about any non-political thing he says. He's doing the complete opposite of his job.
It also probably doesn't help that as soon as I stopped giving a fuck and let loose the floodgates of allowing myself to do shit I'd never normally do that I actually have friends and my life seems a whole lot less stressful now.
Anyway: other shit that gets me mad:
My teacher's making me read The Crucible. It's not that I don't like what it's based on, it's not that everyone says it's bad, it's not that I know I'm going to have to write multiple reports on it.
It's the fact that she's monopolizing the time I'd spend reading other literature I actually give half a fuck about.
I mean I could just cram and speedread and get the book done with in a day but it's not like my retention would be anything more than the general basis of what's happening and I'd just come off like all I did was go to Sparknotes. I understand that book reports and shit are part of going to school, but why the fuck can't I do one on a book of my own damn choosing?
this whole kitty#### death reminds me about how a popular student died of cancer in school and virtually everyone in the school was distraught about his death, even the teachers were incredibly upset about it. I was sad too, honestly. The entire day was pretty much just about him.
But no one but like a few people seem to give a fuck about anyone else dying, for example a young girl who was really good in school died in a horrific snowmobile accident and no one but her friends cared about it.
I'm not saying we should stop caring about people's deaths it just annoys me that people don't care about other people's deaths.

if a person i don't know dies, i don't really care. a ton of people i don't know die every day.

I would probably agree with you with changing over to Lutheran. Because mostly the main idea on how Lutheranism works is that it only works with belief, not that "do good things and get into heaven" mumbo jumbo that you get from the Catholic church or the Southern baptists. I do remember my preacher saying even nonbelievers can go to heaven so thats a plus side.

Thousands of people die every day, and we become desensitized. It's easy to just accept it being a normal part of life until it happens to someone you know and love. Like, since December I've had a totally new look on life and shit.

Hell, I've been considering it since like last week in fucking AP World History when the teacher explained what it was :v:
One thing that always bothers me is how much of an asshole my dad is, he always shoves into my moms face that he can do whatever he want becouse he is the only person that brings money into the house, screaming and yelling at all of our faces, just becouse my mom left her job 24 years ago to raise me and my brother
Fuck me, im in a bad mood again

we had a similar thing at my old school, a teacher committed suicide, and there were loads of things in memory of him, but a non-liked teacher passed away from cancer, and no one gave a shit

It's going to seventy fucking seven wednesday. Great winter here, just love having to turn on my AC in fucking january. Fuck spring, because there's no way in hell it's going bellow 90's and summer is going to be hotter than hell.
Fuck this state.
How suddenly sometimes sites and videos and pretty much everything takes forever to load, sometimes not even loading or my internet randomly going out, yet i have under 100 ping in online games at the same time. What the fuck is going on?

I pretty much gave up to play any sort of game that requires teamwork with randoms. Payday 2, Left 4 Dead 2, TF2 you name it. People are so impatient or plainly ignorant most of the time. I just play with friends now at least I can rely on them.
I ended up puking my guts out last night because I didn't pace myself while drinking. Long story short my boyfriend was playing some nerdy marvel game with his friends, and then I got bored as shit of playing on his computer, so I had one whiskey that turned into like 6 or 7 shots. Normally that's my limit, but because I didn't really eat all day, and then decided to chug the stuff, I felt like shit. Then when I ate dinner too fast... yeah.... Anyways I remember most of what happened but my boyfriend said I was crying while barfing. I can kind of remember whimpering that my mom was gunna kill me and something about cops. But holy shit I barfed so much. I also ate hot cheetos before I started gettin' shitfaced, so that was even worse. :v:
Also since I was in no condition to drive home last night, I got in trouble again for staying over. Lost the car for 2 days. It's annoying because now I will have to walk to work and wake up early. Just glad my mom doesn't know I drink occasionally.

Trying to sell a phone on ebay.
some person full of shit from the US tried to buy it.
First they said that they were in New Zealand for a holiday or some shit but wanted me to ship to US
Now they say that they're buying it for a missionary in Nigeria

And they claim they sent me the payment when I haven't received shit, and now I received this email from 'service@intl-payservce.com'
[img]http://i.imgur.com/yV0YGd9.jpg[/img]
Which uses a completely wrong name and the payment was not $220
And nothing is actually in my paypal account.
Fuck I hate ebay
When you buy something moderately expensive and remember wanting something different and they didn't give you a goddamn receipt.
I guess Ebay works
and now I receive an email from ebay saying my account could be terminated
People who beat around the bush and don't get to the fucking point. All this lying and putting on a face bullshit when they could just say it to my face and say it as it is.
Fucking university man, can't even trust the people I live with and everyone seems to have some thing against me all of a sudden. Things were so much easier at home over the holidays.
