Raaaaaaagh. Why do my finals have to be at 8AM and clustered together? It kills my studying time. Not to mention work still needs us. It makes me a grumpy panda.

My mom's rushing my dog to the vet at 8:40 at night. This day just has not worked out.

[CrystalKitten]

Freaking room mate unhooked the modem yesterday without even TELLING me... I was in my first heroic on Kyxii with some guildies... Seriously not happy. She didn't update us on when the appointment to get the new line set up either is. I'm seriously not happy with how all this crap is getting handled...

Wanted to take stepdad out for a drink, he got caught up right from when he got up and is still working right now with a number of problems hes finding in the house (disorganized, all his tools and machines are everywhere and he got frustrated so started organizing and throwing out junk) and i decide that theres no point trying to get him out of the house cause hes too damned focused on his work so i told him i was going out for a slurpee (bar is near the 7-11 we have) and he said he'd come with, so i agree and tell him the intention i had today cause he wanted to swing by the bar for a sack of beer but my intent today was to buy him a birthday drink and then he goes on about dinner which is roasting in the oven and for gods sake man, you could be a little more considerate, i wanted to take you out all day and relax at the bar and have a drink and just enjoy things and you are nagging on about how you think dinners gonna be ready soon when its not, its a big ass roast, and that you just want to skip over to the bar, get a drink, and skip on back.

You dont care for the fact i wanted to take you out for something nice since NO ONE that has phoned today has ever phoned you to say happy birthday. No one has visited to wish you happy birthday, no family or friends have called you to say happy birthday, everyone that has ever come by or phoned you wanted something from you and never once mentioned anything about the fact its your birthday today. Just ruined my whole god damn day. I wanted to do something with money that i cannot afford to spend to cheer your day up since you've been dealing with stress and shit and people asking for stuff from you all day long, knowing you cant afford to buy the drinks either cause you are equally as tight with it being the winter season but you shot it down and didnt even try to negotiate us going to the bar after we ate dinner, you just wanted to go to the bar, grab your beer, and go home, nothing more.

Edit: And guess what, the timer i set so i could see how the roast is going, it was at Medium. This is a pork roast, it has to be well done, we still have two more stages to bloody well go.

Another Edit: About 45min later now, Roast just finished (had to bump it back to the heat i had it set at, we dropped it down with the idea we were gonna enjoy a night at the bar till he started wanting to just hop in and hop out). Anyways, roast is done now thanks to the proper cooking temp i set it at, i was stressed out at him so i forgot to put the potatoes in the oven when i checked its progress so now im nuking them in the microwave so we can eat and you know, i dont want to spend forever at the bar, i woulda been happy with just 20min-half hour there and we would of come back home with time to let the roast finish cooking since it would of been at 300 degrees instead of my 375 degrees, and i'd just have to cut the potatoes smaller and throw them in the oven with some oil as i originally planned rather then have them fall apart in the juice/water mixture i cook the other veggies in since i combine them with the roast, and to avoid me having to mash potatoes which i hate.. i love eating mashed potatoes but i dont exactly like making them xD

/rant on

people who need to insert themselves into a conversation by making their "opposing view" known.

for example
person 1: "I love chocolate!"
person 2: "oh yes! I'm partial to chocolate with almonds"
person 1: "oh yes, my favourite is chocolate with caramel"
person 2: "yummy!"
person 3: "I hate chocolate, I don't like anything sweet, and nuts get stuck between my teeth, and caramel sticks to my dental work"

Really?
Did what person 3 say REALLY advance the conversation at all?
Was the input in any way NEEDED?

Tossing in a completely opposing view is not "participating in a conversation".
It's being contrarian.
Especially when the conversation is NOT about things people dislike!
We like "item in discussion".
We honestly don't give a flying f*^& that you DON'T like it.
If you don't like it, just STAY OUT OF THE F*^&ING CONVERSATION!

In the end, everyone around person 3 will just think they are a bitter a$$hole that likes to bring down the people around them.

I'm getting a new processor for my broken computer tonight, yayayayay! If that doesn't fix it, nothing will. I'll finally get to play Assassin's Creed Revelations! <3

(quote from Happy Thread)

Thought it would be that simple, didn't you? Nope. The processor hasn't arrived at the store and no one from the house is going to Helsinki later this week, so instead they'll send it in the mail when they get it. That'll probably take until Friday, if not next week.

UUGGGGHHH....

Darn you End of Time. DARN YOU.

Not only can I not get the darn trinket to drop at all..

I'm a Hunter who has not ONCE gotten Ruby Shrine and Sylvanas! Not once and she's the one with all the hunter gear!

Sometimes, I swear, Blizzard does this just to make me crazy.

EDITED: Apparently this thread is magic! Right after that, I popped on and got End of Time...and EVERYTHING that dropped was exactly what I needed! I got the rare boots off Tyrande, the bow of Sylvanas, and the trinket!

If I'm going to wake up to someone trying to have sex with me, it damned well better be my SO and not the damn cat.

I'm sorry, but this cracked me up, for a little while, until it dawned on me who you were again. Stupid cat.

I really don't wanna study anymore.. One more exam.. tomorrow at 11:30 and I've barely started studying for it.. and it's probably gonna be the hardest one.. so.. ugh... I'm so tired.. I don't want to do work anymore.. I just want to fall over sideways and not get back up... Ugh...

Only thing keeping me going right now is some Marianas Trench Ever After (yep... still going on it.. the album is just that damn good).. And the answer I gave for bonus question for my vert exam I just wrote... It asked about something that was preadapted (so.. it existed.. then came up with anew function.. like feathers were likely used as a type of "fur" until they helped hunting dinos not go splat, as some of the theories say)... I picked prehensile tails... said they helped keep animals from falling out of trees and dying.. then cause I had 20 minutes left before I could leave.. I sketched 2 diagrams of lizards jumping from one tree to another that was just too far away... One.. had no prehensile tail.. SPLAT! (yes.. I actually "labled" that on my "diagram") .. the other.. did He had a smiley face and was hanging from a branch with his tail, heh...

Ugh... Okay.. that should probably be all the break I take.. Back to studying.. seriously.. I.. want.. to.. fall over

[Miyon]

Ugh, it's ten days to christmas. I don't have time for this. On top of that, we just came home from the funeral trip, and we have to travel again the 22nd. Hope we don't get stuck again.

Apologizing to a teacher that took her frustrations out on you: Not fun.

[Azunara]

People need to let me know if they don't like me or not. It makes figuring things out harder if you send me mixed signals.

And I think I need to learn to let go. What a fatal flaw of mine. Loyalty. Too damn loyal.

Dear weather

If you don't know it's ment to be summer as we are in the south part of the world. I know it's xmas time but here xmas is allways in SUMMER not WINTER. Please I'm sick of looking out my window and seeing what looks to be winter. We have had that allready this year. I want to have my rest after my surgery in summer weather and not been wraped up in a blanket when I sleep.

I am not in the best of moods right now. Being female sucks, having a stressed BF sucks, work sucks. Got my kid vaccinated with the MMR and now will spend the next two weeks paranoid that she's going to have a bad reaction like her cousin did. Took her to see santa, and for once she's not her normal happy-approach-everyone...no, she didnt cry, but her face looked like she wanted to...took foreaver to get her to relaxe enough around him to get a decent picture.

BF has tomorrow off and instead of being happy, I am filled with dread. Have carpets to clean tomorrow, have to get up early so kid is ready to go when her grandpa comes to take her to his place for the day so i can get the carpets done. Got a friend coming over around noon to watch either stargate or McGyver or both, which will be fun. but the BF being home means that its not going to be a relaxing day...

And BF's also feeling a bit sick...so...insert <whiny lil baby omgIthinkIamGoingToDie>
I'd be more sympathetic if he werent so pathetic when sick.

I get sick and all I ask is that he keeps liquids in my drink and brings me something to eat...he gets sick and suddenly I am his personal servant...

[CrystalKitten]

I'm so BEYOND burnt out right now... My exam is in about an hour.. I'm TRYING to keep going over my notes.. I SEE the words.. but my brain sees them and says "fuck that, look at them all you want, I'm not 'translating' them for you" ... ... ... I WANT A DECENT MARK DAMNIT! WORK BRAIN! WORK!!!

I have been sick for a month now with bronchitis and for the past couple of months with kidney stones. This caused me to miss the last couple of weeks of one of my classes which I have full medical documentation for. I had been in contact with the professor and he told me I could still hand in my missing book report at the final which was only worth 35 points out of the 900 total points for the class. I went to the final last week on the date that was on the syllabus and that the school had listed, (the school sets the exam dates not the professor) but there was not a soul there. I emailed him from the school and after no response for 24 hours, I called the department head. They told me that given my medical situation and because the professor is not allowed to change the exam date they would grant me an incomplete. I got my grades today and he failed me. I contacted the dean again and she is now saying that the professor said that I had not completed 80% of the class so I will not be granted an incomplete and even if I was able to do the final I still would not pass.

Everything the professor handed back I had gotten an A grade, I had a C on my midterm and he told us that as long as we did the presentations we would get an A on them. The only thing I had missed in this class was finishing my lab hours, the book report (which he stated he did get through email and graded) and the final. I don't understand how that is not 80% of the work completed and I don't understand how I was doing so badly that I would not have passed even with the final. I formally requested a complete breakdown of every grade for every assignment, but I am so raging mad right now. I have never made a grade below a B so this hurts my GPA and I don't understand how someone could be so cruel to a person who is sick. I asked about the possibility of grade appeal but they said that I have to get a formal letter written from the doctor that was treating me. The problem with that is that since I am a student and broke I go to a clinic for people who are not insured and have low income. This means I don't always see the same doctor and they will only write you a slip that they treated you, and do not write formal letters of what you were treated for. I am so discouraged and at a loss on what I can do, if anything.

Blizzard, or at least the game, has screwed up some how.. Bf bought Cata, 3 in-game pets, and a in-game mount and redeemed them but they arent showing up in his mailbox. He sent me his info and i tried entering the codes in, everything was claimed, and his mailbox remained empty, so now i have a ticket-in-waiting to see if we can have Blizz send him the creatures. If i have to i'll post the codes in the ticket to show them that he did purchase and redeem them, if they ask that is. But they shouldnt have to, it should be in the billing history.

And i checked, its not just the one character, no character i create has mail
