Kind of graphic, don't read ahead if you don't like womanly monthly things.
Thank you, kind female housemates, for leaving the bathroom all up to me to scrub and clean. I finally conquered the bastard but it would be much appreciated if you would help out in the future. Oh, and when I lift the toilet seat to clean underneath, I don't want to have to clean out your pubic hairs and period blood. Thanks.
Less calm version: GET ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING HOUSE I CAN'T LIVE WITH THESE PEOPLE ANY LONGER... Five more months... Five more months...
and people thought I was just being OCD stupid clean hahahhahahaha no.

No...no you're definitely not. I'm anal about leaving traces of 'me' behind on the toilet cause it's fucking gross. If someone else does it...just...ew.

Honestly I couldn't give a damn if people were messy as long as they were *clean*. But they're not. And they can do whatever they want inside their own rooms but to leave public areas of the house like this... wow. I can't... I... I just... WHAT.
People are probably reeeeeeeeeeeally sick of my 'my housemates suck' rants by now but honestly I'm not expecting people to reply/read these, I'm just needing somewhere to vent so I don't end up punching their faces in. So, eh, sorry to anyone that's like 'so sick of reading this now'. (': Plus new stuff pops up all the time, as unbelievable as it sounds. Can't wait until we move out in June and I'll leave one final 'FUCK YOU GUYS' message on the whiteboard. (':
I hope whoever they have to live with next is a lot more assertive than me. Because they'll get their asses handed to them.
Oh and did I mention I made a 'subtle' hint for them to hoover last week by leaving the hoover right outside their door and when they went to hoover they literally only did the square of space between their bedroom door and the stairs? Yeah. Sooo my fiancé was like 'WTF GUYS' and confronted them about it. Their excuse was 'they didn't realise they had to do more than that'. He had to stop himself laughing in their faces. I... this... WHAT.

Snowy, I had a really awful roommate my freshman year of college, so I sympathize. In my cause, when the college would go to pair people up, they had students take surveys with the idea that similar people will most likely get along better. My genius roomie answered hers the opposite of what she otherwise would have with the idea being that "opposites attract." Needless to say we did NOT get along. She was also disgusting to boot, having no qualms about leaving dirty tissues all over the floor and not a bit shy about intercourse whether or not anyone else was in the room.

Dewclaw that's just foul. :/ This girl seems like she has no self respect whatsoever. That would just be an utter nightmare to me!
I'm so glad for my first year of uni I was in a hall where we didn't have to share rooms, we got our own small bathrooms and I had to share a hall and kitchen with five other people, but we were all good friends (bar one, who we wanted rid of asap after we realised how creepy he was to live with) so that went well. Now I share a student house with my fiancé and two other couples. Luckily they're all too busy playing video games 24/7 for me to even worry about having to hear them having sex or anything, but the downside is that the house is basically dead and void of life all day every day and no one cleans anything ever. Such a huge change from our clean, lively hall last year... :/

This is a very #firstworldproblems issue but im abit over house hunting and rejection. We looked at a total renovator (the kitchen has green carpet - seriously wtf) and cause its in a very good area (one suburb back from the beach, 20 mins or so to the cbd) and will put in an offer tonight but like 50 ppl were looking at it on the weekend...50!! We cant offer exactly what these ppl want as we'd need atleast 30k to do it up but ergh...trying to not get attached to everything we look at...

Double rant...sorry mother-in-law to be but trying to bully and shame me into buying a new dress is not a good idea! I HATE clothes shopping...I find it depressing and often end up in tears as ive gone from a size nothing to double figures. Nothing ever looks as good on me as it does on the hanger and I like sticking to things i know look ok on me. Going around a table and asking everyone if they have something "new" to wear and looking at me like "buy a new dress or you'll look dumb" is just so hurtful. Its MY engagement party and i'll wear what i like THANK YOU! Not what you want me to do...

I'm sorry, but if you are so jealous about the "IC relationship" between your former friend and the girl that said she would pair up with your character but didn't, when you threw away the one we had with our characters because you "lost interest," TOO FUCKING BAD. You aren't getting any sympathy from me.
I swear roleplay relationships in this game are like high school ones. They will be over in a few weeks and paired up with someone else.

Ugh, Wassa, that reminds me of WoW RP. >.< People got bored with IC relationships so quickly that they would just have their character pair up with ANYONE. It was so forced and OOC and awful.
Also if that "lost interest" relationship was the one with Saamid then I'm gunna be really, really upset.

Weirdest rant, but... I'm sick of all these posts around the internet from people claiming that they know what a real dragon is, and how any two-wing two-leg creature is no dragon, that good sir is a wyvern, true dragons have four legs and two wings!
I especially see these comments directed at Skyrim dragons and the new Hobbit movies' Smaug, but I'm sure it's been said to some other things, but... They're fictional worlds with fictional creatures and if their creators want to call the beasts dragons then they are very much dragons. Besides, there are plenty of dragons I've seen that don't fit the two-wing four-legs description, yet people still accept them as dragons. The Monstrous Nightmare from HTTYD. Falkor from Never Ending Story. What about Bowser?
Like, it's a damn mythical creature. Nearly every culture around the world has dragons or dragon-like beings in their mythology and EACH AND EVERY ONE is different. Some have no wings. Some have no legs. Some are giant world eating snakes. It doesn't matter, in the end they are all dragons. I'm pretty sure we have come to accept 'dragon' as the general term that encompasses all intelligent and powerful reptilian beasts.

Sadly, it was. He simply stopped roleplaying with me a while ago and went on to pair up his other characters with other players, never cutting off our relationship IC.

That kind of thing confuses the hell out of me, Kirrandria! I grew up with the Dragonology books and lots of old myths about dragons, so I always learned that the term "Dragon" could mean just about anything. Then after that, things narrowed down- organizing those dragons into categories like "Wyvern" "Lung" etc. So when I see someone calling a Wyvern "not a dragon" I want to start throwing around books and screaming "
THIS is the oldest known dragon DO YOU SEE ANY WINGS?" because dragons are mythical and therefor can be just about any shape and still be called a dragon.
And Wassa, ugh. That's... really frustrating. At the very least he should have cut off the relationship IC, just so you wouldn't be left in such a weird, awkward situation. Forcing you to deal with the lack of communication just because he wanted to go off and do his own thing was really rude. >.< Especially with a well developed and important relationship like that, ugh.

What makes them look more dumb is if you read things like the old English stories and stuff they described them as many different things,shapes and sizes because they where stories and the people who told them said what they wanted! There are no rules with things like dragons because they are not real! It's not like a centuar that are always described as Human/horse people, well most of the time.
God these people would hate the game Monster Hunter! They class most of the beasts in there as "Wyverns" .Bird Wyverns, Fish Wyverns, Flying Wyverns, Brute Wyverns....... XD
Anyway I missed the courer today because I was in town at my old animation school getting paper and that did not end well because I broke the peg hole machine by accedent D:

I hate it when people do that. And is someone saying Smaug wasn't a dragon? He was a goddamn wyvern. Sure, that wasn't his original look but it's still a dragon. Still breathes fire or some sort of element and still has scales and loves gold. Yup. He's a damn dragon.
Hell, one could argue the wind serpents in WoW are draconic decendants.

Really it all boils down too what the creator says because it's their story! If in the Hobbit they call him a dragon he is a dragon. End of story. Same with Wind serpents or anything (I'd say a wind serpent is not a dragon because they are classed as beasts in game). If it's called a dragon or is classed as one it is one. If the writer wants their dragons to be Pink flying Hippos with Nick Cage's head for arms that shoot fire then so be it! (Mind you that would be neat XD)
Evreything else someone might think can be called headcannon and you can always ignore that :3 I know I sure as hell ignore most of the head cannons I see!
I guess what I am saying is what the creator says goes. If you don't like it make your own thing up and don't piss on other peoples parade! That also means don't tell people your headcannons are cannon!
Least that's what I think.

Excuse me for butting in here but dragons are dragons... I mean, they're mythical, made up creatures. Technically they're whatever you want them to be. I *hate* people who think they're so smart that they know what 'real' dragons are. Each fantasy world has it's own version of what dragons are or can be and I'm happy with that. Smaug wasn't originally a wyvern (I even heard people whining about it at the first screening) but he looks MAGNIFICENT as such. It works for him. I even have my own ideas of what dragons could be in my head. Urg. I just hate people who think they're so clever and know everything about dragons.
Also...

Agreed...on both counts
and yeah Smaug wasnt a wyvern but they decided to do it cause Benedict Cumberbach was acting out Smaug and they liked his movements so they had him acting so you're watching him act out Smaug!
