First post here, but I need to get this off my chest. My band and I started playing together after a two year hiatus a few months ago. We've been practicing every week since then, and we've had a few small gigs here and there. We recently got two gigs set up, one which I decided to take care of. Now, I'm not exactly a person who usually does these things, but I felt that I had the courage and self-esteem to try, and miraculously it actually worked and I had officially set up my first gig for the first time. We were planning to play [I]this[/I] weekend at a local Motorcycle Club. My dad who's a regular at there were originally the person who suggested us to come play there for the clubs [I]20 Years Anniversary[/I]. Everything seemed to be going perfectly. We had a set list with a total of 3 hours of music planned, we had transportation ready, literally everything was in order. Today, I woke up to the news that our drummer had to cancel. Somehow he had managed to book two gigs for the same day and he had to prioritize the other band, otherwise he'd risk getting kicked out. Normally, I'd be fine. Sure it'd suck that we had to cancel, but it is not alright to drop off [B]3 days from when a 20 year anniversary is planned to take place where we're on the poster to be playing [I]THREE HOURS[/I][/B]. That's three fucking hours out out of their schedule. Now I have to deal with the club owner who'll probably never let us come back because we potentially ruined the evening of that anniversary, I have to deal with my dad who's reputation is a possible risk of being ruined in a club that he absolutely loves, and my self-confidence is absolutely shattered. I can't even being to explain how I feel or what's going through my mind... I'm so upset and sad at the same time. This is awful.

It doesn't compare well to it, but how I lived group projects literally resulted in me doing everything myself and sometimes end up failing because nobody else did their part. But yeah, group projects are petty crap compared to that.

[QUOTE=Cyberuben;47869825] [QUOTE]For instance: "the curtains were blue" What your English teacher thinks: "the curtains represent represent his immense depression and lack of will to carry on." What the author meant: "The curtains were fucking blue."[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] My bathroom is blue, maybe my Danish teacher knows why I am so unmotivated :v:
[QUOTE=Antdawg;47869768]If there's no specific point in something, then there's no reason for the author to write it. It reminds me of an image that does the rounds on Facebook every now and then; it's something like the author writing 'the curtains were blue' and a teacher going like 'well that means this and that' and some wiseguy going that 'the author meant the curtains were fucking blue'. But why would the author bother to mention the colour of the curtains at all if there was no further meaning to it? It is quite obvious that it is being used as a device whether to create a contrast or to illustrate a mood or something. Congrats you admit it's easy to get good marks when you learn how to 'bullshit them', which means your marks lack substance, which means you referencing your marks actually degrades your argument.[/QUOTE] Classic writers would always describe an immense amount of details in the scenery so that they can paint a picture for the reader, take moby dick for example, every time Ishmael goes to a new "area" there's giant amounts of detail. Hell, even current writers do this sometimes, Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club) does this a lot, on invisible monsters there are several characters that are only really mentioned a couple of times at most, but are really described in detail.
It depends on the subgenre; I like my books to have a lot of details in them, even so far as purple prose if you will. I live for a richly detailed background.
Hnnng the FO4 trailer is okay but I have a really bad feeling the game will blow. I watched it feeling really excited but now I'm super pessimistic and uninterested now. UGH why do I always feel like this when I watch new game trailers?
Probably because a lot of games these days show off or promise things that don't deliver. [editline]3rd June 2015[/editline] [QUOTE]Symbolism in English class[/QUOTE] This is why I'm glad that, for the most part, I studied things that actually had symbolism written into the story for English. I can never watch Blade Runner the same way again, and I actually mean that in a good way. If I had one recommendation to English teachers, it would be to study Sci Fi more often. Sci Fi tends to be loaded with symbolism, especially old '50s-era stuff.

I feel so out of it and down today. The fact that it's been chilly and cloudy the past couple days doesn't help.
I can't stand rap music for the life of me. It doesn't help that my brother, who's going to drive me and his friends to school from now on, is going to be blasting that unintelligible bullshit at absurdly loud volumes every day. Can't wait to get my license, and eventually a car for that matter.

Over the last few weeks I've asked a girl out on a date twice, both times she said yes and then cancelled on the day. Just leaves me feeling frustrated and not really sure what to do with myself since I'd planned to be out

[QUOTE=Svinnik;47871819]was it a cop out cancellation like "i have to wash my hair" or was it an actual cancelation[/QUOTE] First time was apparently anxiety issues or something, which I tried to be supportive about. Second she said she was ill, although after the first time I'm not sure what to think, could be more anxiety, could be messing me around, could just be sick.
I have two days off because of tomorrow's holiday but I still wish today was Friday.
I have class in 15 minutes and I'm struggling to stay awake in my chair.
My earbuds died last night.
[QUOTE=Blazedol;47868071]the real fucked up thing is that you write just fine[/QUOTE] I meant in Russian. Like for example the word "распознавать" (ra[u]s[/u]pozn[U]a[/U]vat'). When spoken it sounds like "разпозновать" (ra[U]z[/U]pozn[U]o[/U]vat'), and that's how I end up writing it even though it's incorrect. Stuff like that happens thrice per sentence at minimum. It doesn't matter much on the internet but it would cost me tons of points back in school. EDIT: And ironically enough I just noticed an English spelling error in my original post.
People that put hot girl thumbnails for a video on YT just to get more views, even better is when that video has nothing like the thumbnail in it.
When your boss one) won't give you th day off when you requested it two weeks in advance for the SATs and two) won't let anyone cover for me because people have been switching too much. What Ira it matter if someone is still there and gets the job done. Stop making shitty schedules. Fuck you, Mike. This is also after he didn't give me the day for my AP exam, requested a month and a half in advance. Gave the same days off to my coworker for the same reason thoug, didn't fill out a formal request and waited until the week before.

I'm actually mad about the complete-opposite scenario because I've accumulated 70 hours of paid leave which is apparently too much (I came up on a report lol) and I was told to take a two week holiday as soon as I could organise one. They're trying to pressure all of the permanent team members with 'excessive' leave to take holidays so that the casual team members can get more hours. Not my fault they hired casuals.

[I][U][B]Prepare your juicy anuses for a wall of text. [/B][/U][/I] As you probably noticed, I've been missing for a bit, and of course it's all due to mom, I'll make a list of what went down and bold the most important things. -About 2 weeks ago, they changed the power poles in front of the house (hacking of course), and that also made the neighbors reset their router. [B]-Neighbors proceed to finally stuff a password on that fucker (I guess maybe they found out I was connected when they reset it).[/B] -Then I had no internet because I didn't have the att login shit at that point, forcing me to do all of my final project from my phone which sucked ass, because it was all web coding. (I barely had time to go to the library at school and finish it over the last 2 days, I'm exhausted.) -This pissed my mom off because clearly they hacked her research, since I deleted all of her shit from the guest account (which I only put to shut her the fuck up)the night before this happened. [B]-Eventually that escalated last tuesday after work to the point where the neighbors hacked our washing machine timer, because the wash cycle got fucked somehow. My dad then replaced the part, but then she spouted out that it was him who was hacking it, threw shit and punched him in the chest, then came at me screaming that my phone was hacking it and then attempted to smash it after I told her I was about to call the cops. -Dad grabbed my phone from her (this took like all his strength, IDK how the thing didn't break), and then handed it to me and I ran as fast as I could away from her and called the police dispatch. -The cops must have thought it was her because they always take a slow ass time to get to my house , since she calls them over the most retarded paranoid things. -Anyways the cops show up like 30 minutes later, and then they get statements from us, they were different cops than usual but they could see my mom had mental issues and that she did in fact attack both of us. We didn't press any assault and battery charges against my mom but the cops agreed that she was definitely crazy enough to get a 72 hour hold, so they cuffed her and said they were taking her for evaluation.[/B] -So we got news about an hour later that she had been sent to the ER at the hospital because of some blood pressure ting from a panic attack and her not taking her fraudulent blood pressure meds. -[B]Me and my dad ended up at the ER for over 6 hours[/B], because the place was completely packed with people who don't know urgent care exists. -We finally got news that she would be held for the 72 hours. [B]-Basically she was held there for the full 72 hours COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW BAD WE ARE AND HOW WE DON'T CARE AND THE USUAL PARANOID SHIT SHE SAYS. Even to her own sisters and mom who went to visit her there with us. The absolute WORST PART of all of this is that she is COMPLETELY NUTS and because she wasn't belligerent with any of the nurses, even though she spouted her shit, they COULDN'T LEGALLY FORCE HER TO TAKE MEDS. SO SHE GOT NO HELP. [/B] - When she was released was the only time the nurse threatened to keep her there, because she was screaming that the release papers were stealing her ID. Nurse didn't do shit though. -When we got home she was furious about not being able to have her gun. They took away her rights for 5 years or until she accepts treatment. WHICH SHE EVEN REFUSES TO GO TO BASIC THERAPY. -Luckily I'm turning 21 soon so we are transferring the gun to me. Just glad they aren't taking my dad's guns since we have a safe that she has no access to, we even changed the code to be safe and might move it to my uncles house. [B]*The only good part of any of this is that now she for sure is diagnosed with Persecutory-Type Paranoid Delusional Disorder (PDD). Also, the law is on our side, the EXACT SECOND SHE STEPS OUT OF LINE I'M GETTING ANOTHER 5150 AND A COURT HEARING TO DECLARE HER INCOMPETENT![/B] TLDR: Power went out like 2 weeks back, neighbors reset interwebs password, mom became angry because she couldn't research shit, then got more pissed, then we 5150'd her ass when she assaulted us (but that didn't work), and now I'm sitting here pissed to no end because now I have no high speed internet. Right now I barely got the DSL working, had to dig through boxes to find this ancient ass modem. It's about as slow as dial up. At least Facepunch loads ok as long as there's no pictures or vidyas. We've been paying 15 a month for this ass shit apparently and mom didn't fucking tell my dad. Sorry if this makes no sense or breaks rules or something I'm exhausted from pulling several all nighters to finish my final. Also a customer at work was being an asshole and made me cry so it's not like I would a slept well anyways. Also I'm thinking of flat out quitting my job, I do too much manager shit there and I'm not the fucking manager, just a cashier. :suicide:
The last episode of Evangelion, what the actual furry fuck.

Forgot to mention my mom fucked up my pc bios and then passworded it, so I have to take my mobo battery out later. Ugh. Also Forum Shark, just call the cops the second that bitch gets out of line. She can easily be charged with assault if she attacks your brother.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;47874929]It would take my brother to charge her for assault, I couldn't do it for him. I've been trying to convince my brother to dump her ass since she cheated on him, my parents as well, and pretty much everyone they know. She's using my brother as a body guard basically, because she is smart enough not to get physical with me because I have no qualms sending her ass to jail at the drop of a hat. Might I mention she is a compulsive liar, so that makes it slightly more complicated. btw I can her her shit talking me through the wall right now lol.[/QUOTE] Good on you for putting her in her place. She needs to wise up and stop being a little shit head.
I know it's only three (now four) days into Summer but I'm already starting to feel so bored that I almost wish I was back in school. It's not like I can go anywhere, since my step-dad is constantly out of town and my dad works pretty much all the time except on the weekends, and as far as doing stuff with my girlfriend that's out of the question for the most part because she signed up for this Driver's Ed thing which will last until the 23rd I think. It's great she's actually getting out and doing stuff and it'll contribute towards her getting her license when I haven't even gotten my fucking Driver's Permit, which is something I could work on, at least before Summer's over. Other than that, at least I'm gonna be working with my dad on Saturday so I can (hopefully) earn some cash.
