You need motivation to do it yourself. I hate to say something like that, but I don't mean to be a dick here, just brutally honest. I know your situation is shit, I've had to deal with a shit situation that nearly left me homeless due to my inability to go the fuck outside and interact with people and find a job.
My parents constantly bicker and fight in a house of 6 other children and I'm only living with them because I managed to find a job in this small nowhere town and I don't have to pay for food. I hate my father because he's an idiot who is probably a lite version of FilmSlacker's dad (FilmSlacker man, every fucking oil worker is a hardass asshole who will belittle any child of theirs because they don't act exactly like them. My best friend's father is that exact person). and I can't say my mother is an idiot, but when they're both fighting I say they're both idiots.
Wherever you live, I'm sure there's always something going on and you have to break free of your parents grasp and look towards doing something away from them. Do volunteer work or join a club or something. Go to a church ask if they need volunteers, use them a reference if you're looking for a job. You can easily get a job just by knowing someone who is hardworking that knows more people than you.
I know change isn't instant and you realize this yourself and I'm not saying you have no right to complain. I follow this thread every day and I dearly do care about the things you guys post, but the only best way to get past anything in your way is to do it yourself. It's not easy. I'm guessing you (sandman) are at a point where you struggle to care about what's going to happen today. All I can say is that you have to think about it and think about it until you're yelling at yourself and you just do it. You can't sit on these things forever.
I deal with a lot of stupid shit in my personal life too, but I rarely get angry or mad or complain and all my complaints are trivial. The most recent thing that's made me mad is that I spent $20 for a shitty chinese knockoff (for some hardware) that didn't work. It's why I rarely post here. I only post when I'm dealing with shit that's ongoing or really getting to me.
I believe in you people, that's what I'm trying to say. Just look towards doing your best and no one will fault you for it. Don't let every tiny thing stress you out. If I did that myself, I'd be in here every day posting about how I don't get enough hours at work, how my parents still need to pay me money owed, how my parents never have any money, how there's almost never any food in the fridge, how the house is always a mess, how my brothers and sisters are so disrespectful to the house and to our parents, and how about I can't drive and how much I'd love to and so on and so forth. These things I just mentioned don't really make me mad because I don't feel they're things I can really complain about because I know some of them are simply out of my control and the other ones I have and am taking responsibility for them and taking care of them.
Sorry for the super long post but I just thought I'd say that. I love you guys, you're great people.
This bullshit "I don't need it so the technology is stupid" mentality
Hey dickwad, just because you don't need your "watch to be smart, I just need to know the time" it doesn't mean that no one can appreciate having a quick phone free access to notifications and music/call control
Smart watches aren't stupid just because you don't want one, the technology industry isn't here because of you

I want smart watches to take off because then everybody talks like a secret agent and it looks awesome.

I've barely even started my homework because I fell asleep after lunch today. And it's all due on wednesday. Which sucks because this project will take a while.
My ex from 4 years back, who is married and I think even pregnant is contacting me, trying to upset me.
She is calling me crazy, but she is the one who is tracking down an ex from half a decade back to insult them while going to become a god damned PARENT.

That is fucking awful.
I dont understand how people get crazy ex's.
Like, i have 4 or 5 exs now and i'm still really mutual with them, one of them i still see often and we have a laugh together.
Tbf though, i think them being girls and now me being gay has a factor in that haha.
I was in JB Hi-Fi (an Australian electronics store) once and they were playing some good music in the store like they usually do. BUT, every 10 seconds, a staff member would say something over the loud speaker which interrupts the music. So, for 10 minutes this went on and I was thinking, "If you're just going to use the PA every 10 seconds don't bother trying to play music in the store!"

I wouldn't call her crazy, perhaps issues with letting things go.
You can't really know what a person is capable of when that angry if you've never seen them with such anger. If you did know, it's likely you wouldn't have begun a relationship with the person to begin with, but most are able to hide such things until after the relationship is a thing or until it ends.
Besides, neither of us were really ready for a relationship when it started and I wouldn't say the poor outcome is solely her fault.

How long were you dating her before you got together?
I never date any less than a month until i call it official. Just so i can get a little hint about the cons
I went to sleep at 10:45pm and woke up to piss at like 2:15am. Stayed up til 4 something cuz I know I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. I end up tossing and turning for a goddamn hour and a half before I gave up, and now here I am, fucking tired.

Fucking shit eaters at Apple, I swear to god.
Want to change your ringtones on any phone? Just do it!
Want to change your ringtones on an iPhone? Download Zedge, then install it on your PC, then plug your phone on your pc, then sync it with Itunes, then apply the ringtone from zedge, but only if it's on a fitting format and lenght, then IT DOESN'T WORK!
Not to mention the fucking bugs that make my phone not work and I have to restart the thing just to make a phone call, and to repair the thing, you just throw it away and have it replaced.
Oh, you want a video or a movie on your iphone? Is it Mp4? No? Then go fucking convert the whole thing, and find out that the end result is shit and won't even start!
And all this shit is just iphones, I'm not even talking about macs and ipods and Iwatches and iwhatnot. All overpriced like hell too, even if the hardware is the same as on another cheaper product.
That Apple Software Update thing NEVER works for me.
It pops up all the time, i click "install items" or whatever and it just kind of refreshes the window. It will never go past it, i have to manually install the new itunes or quicktime.

I don't date, we were friends for some time and it grew into a relationship after some time as we were both lonely.
I didn't expect her to befriend my exes to mock me or to try to get me to kill myself when I was depressed.
It's unfortunate that it got that far before I ended all contact with her but it's certain I won't make the same mistake again.
I just want her out of my life, y'know (Which I have clarified to her)? But she keeps on trying to contact me while I've got her blocked on everything.

Just ignore her. And don't say you can't because you can.
I hate how when you first turn on the water in the shower, the water's ice cold. Nearly gives me a heart attack every time.
[QUOTE=kijji;47249005]I hate how when you first turn on the water in the shower, the water's ice cold. Nearly gives me a heart attack every time.[/QUOTE]
Here's a step by step guide.
1. Turn on the shower without being in it.
2. Get undressed out of the shower.
3. Wait until it gets warm
4. Step into the shower once warm.
Working on a film project for school and while we're a very well-oiled machine (if one that takes forever to start up), there's one girl in the camera department that does literally nothing all day. She just stands in the corner, not helping, not listening to orders from the DOP, nothing. The producer almost screamed at her yesterday.
I mean it doesn't affect our grade in the slightest because the rest of the camera department is nailing it, but holy shit this girl is going to get the same grade on the project on us (at least until peer evaluations time)
My lecturer pisses me off kinda, I have family-health related issues which requires me to eventually drive them to hospital (my mother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, it was found in early development so she had an operation and now undergoes last stage of it's removal by iodine radiation - not sure of all those Medical therms), she can't drive so from time to time I need to drive her to hospital, do home chores, go shopping, make food etc...) but anyway,
I am perfect student in college, never failed an exam, study from home mostly and we have this college project where you need to form group of 4 people, I am left out without a group because I was unable to find anyone free, so I emailed him saying for personal reasons I can't attend and find group, he said: Unless you come to my lecture, I can't do anything about it.
I mean okay I understand he's pissed that I don't come in but still being a dick about it pisses the shit out of me. He helped other students who emailed him about same issue (finding group) and because they come to his class he helped them.
I might just fail this project and put more effort into exam (20% project and 80% exam).
What a dick :v:
[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn;47224856]I really hate customers sometimes. Last night, one came in and started to shout for employees to assist him. It's like 3am and the guy just starts to yell into the store.
And to return a half-drunken carton of milk.[/QUOTE]
He came back again, bought milk. Took a sip in front of me and asked if he could return it for a new one.
I really rather just lock the doors at night so I can work in peace.

I woke up from multiple dreams where everyone I know turned against me and embarrassed me. It actually ruined my day.

I'm done with group projects
Does anyone else have one of those days where it seems literately everyone you meet is against you one way or another?
I'm really in a good gym routine now with my gym mates. But when i get this new job im going to have to change gyms and leave my new gym buddies because
A. i wont be able to go the tiime that they do. (mid-day lunch break)
B. its a good 15 minute drive away.
And i'll have to go to the gym near my home again which is shit and expensive. WAHHHH. Also that means i will only ever be able to go gym on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays because the boyf comes to mine on Tuesdays and Friday-Sunday (or me to his)
Teacher from my old high school killed herself in her classroom before school started (doors were locked so no kid walked in on it)
Bums me out since she was a good teacher
I have 6 fraudulent charges from Verizon Wireless and Experian.
Just called my bank but now I have to spend the week worrying about whether or not these charges will clear up.
So there's this one girl in my class that I used to be friends with? I put a question mark on that because I'm not so sure anymore. You see when I used to hang out with her and another group of friends that which by the way is completely disbanded now. She used to say she was my friend but I know that wasn't really true.
She would always give everyone more attention and would always listen a lot more to everyone else than me and that made me feel lefted out. I used to look it up to her because she seemed nice and good person to be around but after two and a half years trying to get her to like me as a friend I just got sick of it and gave up. Never spoke to her again. Which in return made me really sad because in the end she wasn't really all bad of a person. She is always caring and nice and we had a few moments once in a while. But I guess she didn't exactly care all that much about me. I'm trying to forget but I still can't cope with the fact of how friendships fade so quickly in highschool. But I guess that's how life is in the end.
Also the fact that she now most probably thinks I like her as being in a relationship ( Which I totally don't) makes my blood boil a bit.
