Let's see... revenge fantasies based off of news articles, check. Making fun of Darwin Awards candidates, check. Super-hindsight towards situations, check. Yep, you've all done the same things I have. Get off your fucking high horses. Yes, I was intentionally being a jerk to makare. I don't like her. She does the same thing to me all the time. You're telling me some of you don't have an ounce of schadenfreude when something bad happens to me? I know she'd purse her fat lips in glee and waddle around the room in a happy-dance before exhaustion. So once again fuck off.

Dave, how bout another dead baby in the washing machine joke?

Come to think of it, I'll put her on ignore as well. I'm sick of hearing her constant whining over every boring detail of her equally boring life.
The difference, Mr. Wozel, is that we joke about things that are impersonal to us. The dead baby joke? Nobody here knew said baby or the family. When you had bad things happen to you how many people came out & made a fucking joke about it? None. Did they want to? Maybe, I don't know. But they were HUMAN enough not to. In fact, I remember that when you posted said bad things you got nothing but compassion and support. DId certain individuals bring it up later in an argument? Yes, and they got slapped down for it just like anyone else would.

Justify your terrible behavior any way you want but you know it was wrong.

I'm not trying to justify anything. What I posted wasn't nice in the least. But I'm not sorry about it.

I started today with my mom waking me up warning me that she is thinking of kicking my sister out today. She didn't want it to upset me. Well, I don't know if it does or not I've been saying just lock the damn door for the last two days. But I guess it does upset me because why can't we have a normal fun holiday with our family. We have actually been excited by the prospect of her being in jail over Christmas so we don't have to worry about her. How fucked up is that?

I'm always so happy and excited to come home but at times like this I honestly can't remember why.

Nostalgia, perhaps? I know that's the reason why I keep going back to my parents' place for Christmas, even though it always involves a certain level of stress and arguments about getting everything done in time as well as melancholy due to my big brother and his wife not visiting. Again.

Also, I'm keeping an eye on this thread. Currently in neutral Medium Turquoise.

Aw red as impending doom is kind of trite... I thought you were breaking the mold.

Nevermind sigh.

YES that is exactly what I was thinking.


That is for the mod with too much time on his hands.

Last night our microwave died. Today my NVIDIA GeForce 8800 gt video card died. I'm now on motherboard graphics with a single monitor. Which means:

No WoW.
No Minecraft (no open GL for the motherboard graphics)
No New Vegas.
No working from home (I need 2 monitors for that).

Fuck my life.
 
Never help anyone!

Because of some design work I did on the side for some groups locally, I've been asked to co-chair recruitment for the BC Seniors Games. Sure, I'll just stack that on the list of things I'm working on. :(

Doesn't pre-ordering WoW: Cataclysm get you money off on a new Nvidia GeForce? Might wanna look into it.

It's not so much that but the fact that a new one is about $150-200.

You seem really down in life. Perhaps I can encourage you to create an advice thread in my subforums with some gory details to what is going on since you seem to be always in such a mood. I'd be more than happy to reply to you regarding my true and unhibited feelings about how I feel about reading your depressing posts and perhaps encourage you with some words of Jaydom? :)

It'll be more interesting than forcing myself to reply to people discussing Dutch Ovens, that's for sure.

In general I am not down in life that is why my "depressing posts" can just stay in the rant threads where they belong.


Not sure how a post about mod text colors is depressing though but to each his own.
 
The first clue about depression is not knowing you're depressed.
You either log on this site to decompress your RL issues or you don't realize you are.
That's just my opinion.

What have I said here in the rant thread that means I'm depressed? I just talk about the stupid, sad or annoying crap that happens during my day.

Now, why don't you tell me a little bit more about those ducks?
