Venting Thread Delta - Now With Easy to Follow Rules

Fezzul: Because they're used to whitewashing and it's unusual for people to actually try to cast accurately with regard to race.

I keep remembering my failings at University (not attending University) and I feel like I could have avoided it.
And then I remember why I didn't attend even the simplest things (lectures).

Other people were the reason. They stopped me getting to sleep. Therefore in the morning I felt like death. Because I lived alone, I had no one to push me and encourage me.

Not sure if that gives me peace, or just makes me very angry.

[The Jester]

Aubergine, it sounds like your landlord/roomate person is an absolute grade A asshole. And pretending like you're at fault when you call him on his bullshit is emotional abuse.

Telling you he'll replace the stuff of yours that he's consumed and then calling the replacement (with something else) a Christmas present is also 100% bullshit behavior. I can't believe this fucker has any friends.

You're completely right to feel pissed off over his behavior and the way he treats you (and the previous room mate) because it is unacceptable.

[Amake]

Wow, you're right, we have made some progress over the last seven thousand years! We have a system where subsistence farming is not the only possible way to survive for several people. So what, we're just going to stop there? Nothing else needs to be changed?

[Darkobra]

To all the people telling ME what I am and am no allergic to: Go fuck yourself. You CAN'T be sure a house is pet hair free just because the animal isn't in the room at that specific second. You don't have the allergies yourself. You will never understand.

And yes, these allergies can kill me. Know how I first found out I was allergic? Rushed to hospital with tubes down my throat and a machine doing my breathing for me. And I've had to be very careful since.

Go on. Tell me I'll be fine. Get offended when I tell you that's not something you can be sure of and that it's my LIFE on the line. But don't fucking dare make me out to be a liar or I will make it my life's mission to destroy you.

There's a reason I've never been beaten. I plan ten different paths at once very, very quickly and am ready to act on each and every individual one. My actions speak louder than your bullshit. I have proven you wrong time and time again. I will NOT be proving you wrong by putting my life on the line to show you that I was right. Not one of my scenarios will ever include that.

Take the polite declination. Then, when pressed, take the reason. But don't dare for a second spend every waking minute of your life telling me I'm wrong about this when you have NEVER had this risk.

It's looking more likely that I'll be spending this Christmas with no form of communication. Some may consider it a bad thing but I truly do enjoy the solitude. If anything, I miss it and wish I had more of it.

[JustAName]

I'm getting that feeling again. The one that says I just creep out the people I admire and I should stop trying to interact with them online because I try too hard and it's painfully obvious and I'm embarrassing to everyone around me.

[AdmiralMemo]

Darkobra: Hit them in the pocket. Tell them that you'll come over if they'll pay for all the hospital costs of your allergies and all the funeral costs if you die. Make it out in writing and make them sign a contract.

That should scare them off.

[Bebop Man]

Reading people's Christmas lists over at The Escapist makes me feel so poor. This guy's bragging about how his mom gets him £450 in cell phones, books, consoles, games and clothing, "and then my mum always buys a few surprises". Unbelievable. I work my ass off for a whole month for 1/4th of that sum and pray for one gift from my parents while... fuck it I don't even feel like writing anymore. Fuck Christmas.

It had actually crossed my mind. I've offered them solution upon solution, alternatives to everything and even just flat out explaining WHY I can't go to their house. Not that I don't want to! I! CAN'T!

I was on the verge of playing that card and figured one of two things. It'd make absolutely no impact on their decision or it'd be too low a blow and I'd end up being the bad guy again.

Whenever I feel like that I go scream at the walls in the hijack thread for a bit, it's been very cathartic at times. I know what you mean though, I wish I knew a good solution.

Have a santa hat

I'm too tired now for jealousy.
So tired I have no idea what I want for Christmas.

My parent's PP for a gift to me is £30. Anything more I should shell out from my own pocket.
The thing is, anything I want I'd buy soonish, and rely on Christmas money to repay it.

The thing I try to remember, is that I get a lot considering other people in my area.
People who get more, their parents probably use Credit cards and are in fact in debt. I'm fortunate that my parents owe no one anything at all.
I like to think that instead of having a shit tonne of stuff from Christmas, I have future financial security. It doesn't stop me being jealous, but, it's something.

My default assumption is that I creep out everybody I interact with on our offline. So yeah, I know that feeling well...

Yeah I know, I guess I get a lot compared to other people. What angers me mostly is the lack of emotion behind all those gifts. Spoiled brats.

[JustAName]

Ptang: For bonus points, put the hat on an actual picture of me.

[Fezzul]

Good god that play was dismal.

Also, why am I having trouble talking to people again? I thought I was past the whole 'awkward around everyone' phase?

[Duckay]

I feel strangely emotional all of a sudden. Nothing really triggered it, I just feel really... sad.

I sympathize quite a bit with Fayili. I feel like everyone is judging me or hates me or that I'm an annoyance or burden on everyone.

[empath]

...so, it's 6:05 a.m.

Apparently I have insomnia.

[Ptangmatik]

Well, I did remember thinking you two looked pretty cute together in this one:


Edit: And yes, in case you're wondering, I'm worried that that sentiment comes across as creepy

Avoid watching "My Sweet 16" then.

Who wants a 4 year old little boy? Free to a good home. He's a LRR fan if that helps.

I have a 6 year old brother already.
I hear the black market is open for business.
