Harsh, but kind of cool, to name your stolen pets after the hunters you stole 'em from/

...What?

Stupid Mage on my server is going around killing the new rares, while the hunters are trying to tame them. I told them to report the jerk.
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

I read that a few days ago in Auckland where I live two differnt bus drivers would not let two Arab ladys who wore headscarfs onto their buses. It just blows my minds that people could be so dickish like that. So what if their faith says they have to wear that it does not affect you in anyway!

Ugh I hate tear-here lines. The idea is that they actually tear where marked, yet even with precision (ie flat surface and a ruler) they always either disintergrate, leaving ugly chunks too thin to tear off without tearing the paper, or rip chunks out of my pictures.

Rest in peace mum. I really did love and miss you, even if I never got to see you.

That bus driver could be terribly misinformed if he was acting out of fear that they might be terrorists.
Or... simply being an a$$hole. :?

Why are moths and every other flying insect that gets into my room have to dive bomb my water and commit suicide? Seriously? Isn't there a better way to end it that does not involve drowning in something that I drink? >.>

A man wearing a spaghetti strainer on his head claiming it to be the confessional device of pastafarians was allowed to get his drivers license photo taken. At least some places in the world are getting more and more accepting. :P

I don't even know what to do right now. I asked my mom to take a look at the crappy edit of me as a ginger. She barely glances at it before saying "Hell no." I try and ask her to understand where I'm coming form and why I want to do this, as well as why I think it looks better than my natural hair colour. She ignores me and, honestly, I'm a bit irritated. I went through a lot of trouble to get this edit so that she could see the colour I wanted on me.

So, I give it a few hours. I go, let myself calm down, I take a bath, and I give her some time to forget about it. I come back, and I ask her to let me talk and to please not interrupt. She says fine. I tell her the following things:
1. I am sick of being blonde. I've been blonde all my life. I will not go brown. I hate the colour, I won't do it. I cannot and will not go black. That leaves ginger, which I really like, especially on myself.
2. I tell her that I am more than willing to do more edits, of a better quality, that show more shades, since she insists on callling the colour I want a "fluorescent orange".
3. Finally, I ask her to be honest with me and tell me if she even really gave it a chance. I know the colour she wants me to go to; it's darker than I want and still blonde. I really dislike the colour and she knows this.

She says that I have to wait six months and then she'll think about it. You know, this really bothers me. But I remain calm and neutral. I state that six months is a long time, especially for one to be unhappy with themself.

She goes off the wall. She just starts ranting at me out of nowhere. She says that I'm a waste of space, a failure at college, and a bum for not getting a job. She rages at me, saying that I do nothing around the house, even though I'm the one who does absolutely everything. She screams at me and says that I do nothing but hang out with my best friend, play WoW, and sit on my ass. I've seen my best friend a total of five times this summer. I'm always at home, cleaning. I don't go anywhere or do anything without her permission, even though I am nearly nineteen years old. She tells me that the only person I ever think about is myself, that every time I mention something about the vow renewal I'm only worried about me.

She's right, I did extremely poorly at school this last year. College was a shock for me, just like it was for so many others. She claimed I refuse to study. Honestly, I've never had to study before in my life. I didn't know how to and didn't realize I would need to. Now I know, and this next year will be different. I'm retaking all the classes I did poorly in, of which there were only a few. She has repeatedly told me that she is not disappointed in me and will not be unless I do not do better this next semester. I tried this last year. I worked very hard. It just wasn't enough.

As for work, I tried to get a summer job. She talked me out of applying to the same summer camp my sister is currently working at. If she hadn't I would be employed. Every single job I have tried to get in town has not called me back, even after I repeatedly called then to check up on my application. I was told every time that they had decided to rehire one of their college students for the summer. I tried.

I clean all the time. It's probably the thing I've done the most over the summer. Yet she never notices, never says thank you. I do other people's chores for them. I clean all the time.

I will admit that my room is a mess. It needs to be cleaned and I've been working on it over time. She never even goes back there, yet she screamed at me saying I hadn't done anything.

As for the vow renewal? I have done nothing but help her. She's asked for my opinions on things and I've given them to her. She told me to pick out boots for myself. I was told that they were not just for the vow renewal, so I should pick ones I really liked. It took me a few days, but I found some, which she really liked as well. She asked me which dresses I like for my sister and myself and which colour I thought it should be in. I told her and she agreed. If she had preferred other things, or if my sister hadn't wanted that style of dress or hadn't like the colour, I would have continued to look with her until I found something we all liked. However, the first dress she showed was one I really liked and it had a colour I really liked. It was a dress that could also be worn for other things. We continued looking, thinking it'd be better to keep our options open, but eventually we both decided that the first dress was the one. I've helped her look at wedding dresses. She'll show me a bunch and ask me which ones I think will look best on her. I actually chose all the same ones she did. She asked me to help decide on dinner options. I did. Every time she has asked for my help with this, I have gladly given. How have I thought about myself? I chose dresses for my sister and myself that would match her theme and would draw attraction to her.

I'm even getting up ridiculously early tomorrow to wait for the delivery of my sister's decorative surfboard to come in. I've waited three times for it to come in. And when it doesn't, do I complain? No. I just sit there and wait for them to rescheduale it again and plan to have another day of absolutely nothing.

I'm not even really that upset about the hair colour. Yes, I really wanted to do this. All I was trying to do was get her to actually think about it and see it from my perspective. No, I really didn't want to wait six months to do it, but if it was something she really hated for legitimate reasons, then I would have just found a different colour.

I'm upset about being called selfish, lazy, and a failure not even twenty-four hours after she assured me that I could never disappoint her and that I was doing fine. I almost never do anything for myself, ever. I have one thing, one thing that I want to do for me? She tells me that she will not have me in the vow renewal and will shave my head if I do it.

I feel stupid for saying this, but I honestly can't stop crying. I know she's stressed out. She's planning a vow renewal and, even with all the help I've been giving, it's a lot of work. She's changing jobs to one that pays nearly double and her soon-to-be old bosses are giving her a lot of shit about it. But she was in a good mood when I got home and had seemed honestly excited to see the colour.

God, I don't even know what to do anymore. I really, really don't.

Thanks Tyger. ;u;

I went and cleaned some and now I feel a little better.

On topic: ...Wow. Ten composition books, four notepads, one book... thing, a binder, a planner, and eight journals full of story stuff? I feel weird about that.
