Negative Events & Occurences

[Worm Mad]

Okay, I'm fed up with all these individual threads about good things that have happened to people and bad things that have happened to people. It makes more sense to have two threads dedicated to anything that has happened (Pets, computer trouble, whatever) rather than filling the forum up with them. So, this thread is for anything bad that happens to you. Consequently, all discussion of everyday things that you feel negative about should be discussed here.

[thomasp]

Got straight B's in my AS exams - would have liked straight A's ;)

[philby4000]

My coputer's messing up again.

My dad's accidentaly (and hopefully temporarily) bankrupt.

And I've lost my favorite ruler.

[BetongÅsna]

My 3D card fan started rattling, so I've had to lose my computer for 3 days to get it fixed. Stuck on an old one. Bad back still here after being attacked by idiots.

[SargeMcCluck]

My first bad thing of 2004 - The bloody Catalyst 4.8 drivers.

Let's just say losing 9 hours of my day, getting ****ed off, and losing 30 gig of valuable data isn't my kind of fun.

*******S! :(

[philby4000]

my mouse just made a "POF" noise then a "Squeeeep" noise.

My computer mouse.

[SupSuper]

Doom 3 has screwed up for no apparent reason :(
Another game to add to the "permanently unfinished" list.

[Squirminator2k]

No laptop, and buying a new Graphics Card just so I can play Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, only to have PoP stop working for no reason whatsoever a few months in.

[Zero72]

Same old mental and emotional problems from the same old event, off and on... on more than usual as of late for some reason.

Lots of places to put money, not enough money to put everywhere.

Starting to seriously doubt that I'll be able to make it to the OD get-together, despite how much I would love to be there.

Pikkul can no longer use MSN Messenger. Or Trillian.

[MonkeyforaHead]

More serious computer malfunctions than usual.

Just discovered that PayPal won't let me make any purchases without a credit card, even though I just spent about 3 weeks following the f**king procedures that apparently WOULD let me buy without one.

Start of a new school year. :p

Oh yes, and my only pair of headphones broke, and simultaneously the regular computer speakers decided to stop functioning...

[AndrewTaylor]

Just discovered that PayPal won't let me make any purchases without a credit card
Really? They let me.

I use my debit card. Haven't got a credit card, and frankly don't want one.

[BetongÅsna]

Really? They let me.

I use my debit card. Haven't got a credit card, and frankly don't want one.
I want to pay on Ebay in cash, but can't.

[AndrewTaylor]

Why can't you use a card? I mean, I would assume you have your own bank account, and they mostly gome with at least a debit card.

[BetongÅsna]

I don't have my own bank account. I'll be getting one soon, but probably without a card.

[MonkeyforaHead]

If you read the fine print on PayPal where it asks for your credit/debit card number, it turns out that only debit cards with the Visa/Mastercard/American Express/etc. logo on them are accepted... which means I'm out. :(

[Star Worms]

ok, this is very off topic, sorry but I don't want to create a new thread for it.

Yesterday my mum went into the supermarket having taken me round Cribbs Causeway looking for new bed linen since my room is being done. She hadn't given me the keys to sit in the car so I waited outside (since if I went looking, she'd probably exit the shop when i didn't notice). While I was standing by the exit a man gave his daughter his credit card, she looked 10/11/12 and asked her to go and buy him some cigarettes.

[AndrewTaylor]

Maybe he was an undercover reporter.

[BetongÅsna]

Did you see her come back?

[worMatty]

Cigarettes on a credit card? In a bed linen store?

"With my reputation?"

Euan, this is what LiveJournals are for.

[Zero72]

I had another lousy day of work.I was pulled aside and warned that if my perfomance doesn't drastically improve within the next couple of days, I won't have a job by the end of the week. When I left work in the pouring rain, my car battery was dead because I had left my headlights on. An hour later, I got the car jump-started and came home. I turned the car on again after a while to let the battery charge a little more, and I forgot to turn it off for an hour and burned half a tank of gas. And so here I sit, slightly damp, quite nervous about the likelihood of keeping my job, and very dejected.

[Xaositect]

Hmm where to start, I have barely done my Thesis, just had a horrible fluid mechanics exam, my room mate is sending me insane, the stress is giving me insomnia, I have many major assigmments, one of which is 10000 words...Arghhhhhhh..Engineering the quickest road to insanity...Ohh but this is bad occurences not just general crap so ...ummm....heres something....I cut my finger trying to open the sweet N sour sour sauce of my chinese food....:(

[Zero72]

I have no job. I will not be updating my website. I cannot afford broadband. There's officially now no chance in hell at all of making the OD get-together even if I changed my mind. Everything I've been looking forward to since getting my job isn't happening. All of the security and freedom I had are gone. I, again, am just a bum spending all of his time holed up in his room in his mom's house.

Just what my unstable mind needs right now.

[OldSkoolCrazy]

That really sucks Zero.:( I really hope everything will turn up better for you.

[Blinx]

Being despised again. It's SFFM again.

And you lost one of the legs on your trousers somehow. :rolleyes:

You lost a leg of your trousers? :D How did you manage that?

[UnKnown X]

I almost fainted today because of lacking air. I couldn't see shiznit (was all white and unstable) and I had next to no balance on my way to fresh air.

And I almost threw up in the church!

[SupSuper]

school starts monday. more details later.

[SargeMcCluck]

I've got the flu. I'm supposed to be going to Huddersfield tomorrow, to the Uni Open Day and to meet up with M3ntal again.

This SUCKS. :-/

[rambo_6]

I don't like english class. :rolleyes:

I just don't.

[FutureWorm]

I don't like english class. :rolleyes:

I just don't.I love my English class. *runs off to read Michael Crichton novel which was assigned reading*

[OldSkoolCrazy]

English isn't all that great. I prefer math, history, and science. I'm usually bored out of my wits in English class.

[K^2]

Power went out in the half of my house. The important half. The one with the computer and the bathroom. Anyways, I got a chain of Christmass lights to work as an extention cord from the other part of the house so that I can finish my AI assignment and make a few useless posts on the forums. The glow of the Christmass lights chears me up a bit, so it isn't all that bad.

Edit: This is just getting more and more interesting. I tried connecting the stereo center, and that knocked out the fuses in the Christmass lights. Fortunatly, I was able to find a replacement. At least, now I know that PC+Stereo Syste > 3 Amps.

[SupSuper]

Oh I'm sure there will be some bits that you'll see as negative. :p Even if not now.

[Kjatte]

Probably, but don't be so negative ;) (wait, in this thread you can :eek: )

[SupSuper]

x = -2147483648

it can't get any more negative than that :rolleyes::p

Acutally, you can't get more negative than x < -(infinity) (x is less than minus infinity)

My girlfriend is in london and won't be back untill this thursday.. I miss her so badly! :(

Rainy day, train late, missed bus, eventually got home and found that I can't open the drink I bought because it's too fizzy. :eek:

There's gotta be a conspiracy going on in the places you work at. Seriously.

That's okay. I wasn't happy there anyway. As it turns out, Telesales (and, I'd guess, Sales in general) doesn't really seem to be working for me. I should get into something I'm good at... probably an IT thing. I think I'd be good on a Helpline of some sort, considernig I'm good on the phone.

I've already applied for a job at NTL in their Credit Control Department, which means if you fail to pay your NTL bill I might end up giving you a call. If I get the job I also get free digital cable, too. Sweet.

Buddy, I had to leave a workplace due to it being crap. Immature/annoying employees who treat me bad (I'm used to being treated bad so much I'm immune now to it.) IMO being home playing online games and chatting on msn messenger is by far friendlier to me than being out in a workplace. I'll probably get a job at home selling my used Music CD's though Amazon.ca/Ebay. Yes being at home or out with friends and not having a job made me happy, but it would be nice to have money though and to help/support my family with their bills.

On another note, one negative event happen at the fair yesterday, you see my friend got harassed by some immature idiotic girl who in the end made him upset and mad. Oh and someone lost a wallet.

Sorry buddy, been busy this week

[Squirminator2k]

I noticed, but I thought it would be rude to point it out.

I remember I was away due to work and not been to the forum in a while. Then Kjatte made a Where is he thread, I was anxiously wondering who he was talking about... it was me, was really appreciated that he made that thread and the concern content in it. Believe me I would have made a thread asking where you were but aside from attending a wedding it was a busy week. Sorry

People do care but don't think they would admit "I care about you Kjatte" I, S2K, and Kel are your friends 3 friends are better than none right? :)

[SargeMcCluck]

And I'm offended that you instantly assume that just because we don't post about you not posting that we don't care about you. That's such an immature view Kjatte. I'd expect that from a 12 year old, not you.

Agreed. "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I may as well go and play Worms," or something to that effect.

[Kjatte]

That's just how it feels allright?? Geeze, let me have an opinion. It seems i'm wrong though.

What are you talking about? We love you, SupSuper! (and no, not in that way - you sicko)

Now, we really need to stop having people saying that nobody loves them or we'll all end up doing some kind of nauseauting group hug. :p

[Run]

Woah. I avoided this thread like the plague because I thought it might contain horribly depressing news from every corner of possible depression, but it turned out to be a rather good laugh. Most of the last two pages did, anyway.

That sounds rather sadastic, actually...

I was supposed to sleep over at my girlfriend's house. Her parents wasn't home either. First we were at a friend of her (and mine) and watched two movies. During the end of the first one i started feeling hot in my chin and forehead.. then i started to shiver and feel cold though my body was warm.. (I think you know where this is heading =P) so because i got a fever i had to go home! Bloody typical!

[FatWhitey]

Gained some weight (yes I know being fat is title to my FatWhitey name) but you see, I've got a small noticeable gut which needs to be lost. And the thought of exercising and eating healthy is a tough job for me to do, well not tough but more so of the fact I'm a lazy lad who does not bother doing anything anymore(need to start getting out of the habit of being isolated) (aside from playing PC games, this forum, and msn messenger)

[FatWhitey]

This is not so much an event but it hurts me (cry sometimes over the emotion of not being able to see them), thus being a negative though.

You see, I miss two certain and good friends of mine, no they did not pass away. But rather I've not seen them in a while.

First off is a beautiful lass named Kristen Bell, we met each other back at Brother Andre (my High School) back in 11th grade cooking class, now her being pretty was a bit nervous of speaking to her, thinking a pretty girl like her would ever or actually speak to me. So one day in cooking class we got our yearbooks and I really wanted her to sign mine so gathering up courage and confidence I go to her "Kristen" "Yeah?" "Want to sign my book?" (I was scared of her rejecting me of saying no) but to my surprised she let out a "Sure" when I got the book back I read the enclosed signing "Hey Buddy, hope you are having a good time in this class, I'll speak with you more soon, later" next is what not only shocked but astonish me "Love, Kristen" I really felt warm and happy that day. So as the months turned to weeks we did not really speak to each other much, because me and her fell in with different crowds, you see she was part of the popular group while I was with the freaks and geeks. But having to add her on MSN Messenger there was one time where I ACTUALLY got the chance to finally speak with her, what a great day that was. But now she comes on so rarely I'm feeling sad about this, she truly is a great and nice girl, and hopefully we will speak again soon.

Lovely woman number 2. I was working for a retailed department at my local mall. First time I met this woman was when she came back to the store, she looked like someone whom I would hang out with in High School (a pretty lady) she me and her agreed to have lunch together on break. I thought she was in High School to me she looked around and about 20 or so but was actually 36! I was surprised that a woman of her age was so pretty and...I'll admit have a gorgeous body as well. And as usual I liked her, she had a great personality and such a pretty appearance, but found out she is married and has kids that did not stop me from being friends with her though. One time a fellow employee was telling me of how her husband is somewhat a controller, now you lot know me of being a hero/brave and noble, I wanted to do something about this and help and protect her but there was nothing I can do. Couple of weeks I finally ran into her at the retail shop, not exactly ran into her but noticed her, she gave me a hug and a warm welcome back (I quit the job) I honestly love her so much...in a good friend way, I'm hoping of us two getting a picture together. Her name is Najot which I found unique and interesting but I RESPECT fellow friends names whatever it may be.

I'm going to the mall, to the store where Najot works and hopefully I'll see her again.

This concludes my tale of my two pretty yet good personality girl/woman friends, I needed the story to be let out.

[FutureWorm]

I wish you the best of luck with Kristen, and also a good friendship with Najot.

[FatWhitey]

I wish you the best of luck with Kristen, and also a good friendship with Najot.

Thank you, I apprichate the support and the wish and yes I'm hoping best of luck with Kristen as well, and a well mantained good friendship with Najot.

[Newt X]

The last month has been one of the best months for me in the past...long long time, except that i'm getting a god damn C in chemistry cause my lazy ass decided not to do his homework for a while. but i can't complain cause it's completely my fault. ;) In fact, i don't even know why i'm complaining, 'cause it doesn't even bother me. Oh well. :p

I can't really think of any other bad things.

Oh yeah. i got a haircut (my second one since last christmas) and now i sorta look like a goof, but my girlfriend likes it, so it's all good. :D

Damn. I'm probably cheering this thread up way too much. I gotta think of something bad.

Oh yeah...my grandpa. He's got alzeimer's. He barely even remembers who my mom is sometimes. she has to tell him. It's making her and her sisters pretty depressed

[Newt X]

my gf's grounded for the second time in 3 weeks, but it's actually a good thing, as you can see in my post in "good occurances"

[Star Worms]

I hate this time of the year:

Halloween and Bonfire Night. It's probably a bit late to complain now but who cares?...

On Halloween morons come round your house asking for food. Why can't they just bugger off and leave us alone? I thought children are taught not to talk to strangers, let alone go round to their house asking for food.

Secondly - Bonfire Night. What a crap excuse for a celebration. A foiled attempt to kill the king. People only celebrate it so they have an excuse to set off explosives. I wouldn't mind if it was just for one day but it's for several weeks now. People set them off weeks before and weeks after, and at night too. Someone should just ban fireworks in back gardens alltogether. All it does is cause trouble.

Anyway that's my rant over:p

[thomasp]

I had my 3 interviews at Cambidge University today.

My 2nd interview was awful :( and probably cost me a place there.

They'll probably go arround checknig to see who gave out what kind of candy and cross refference that between candy that different kids in the neighborhood got. So you need to use something really common.

just be like

"i intend to become a lesbian as well. will you go out with me?"

she'd probably just think you were crazy then. :p
In a similar story of pure stupidity, a friend of mine once tried to chat up a friend of my girlfriends. He asked her out and she said, "I'm sorry, I'm a Lesbian" - which was true. He then responded, "That's okay, I'm bisexual" - which may not be true,w e've not figured that out yet. Suffice to say if he was stupid enough to think that he could go out with a lesbian on the grounds that he's bisexual so it must be okay, then he shouldn't be allowed to breed.

And that's why every girl he's asked out since has become a Lesbian. True story.

Not a good plan. A friend of a friend of mine became a lesbian and I haven't seen him since, which is for the best, I expect, because I couldn't take her seriously.

Wow. That's one gender confused person.

[Run]

Maybe he/she is also a transexual, and had the operation while AT was typing his post?

[K^2]

No, it makes sence. He said that his friend, who apparently was male initialy, since AT says that he has not seen him since the described event, became a lesbian, which would, in this case, require an operation. After the operation he is now a she, and that is why AT couldn't take her seriously after that.

2004 is striking again. I have this friend. We're not exactly close friends or anything, but we go to the same high school and such.

i am going insanely depressed! basically, i don't feel like doing anything, i don't know why i give a damn about anything, and as far as i care, i would just lie down and die. but of course i won't, i'm too much of a wuss to do anything to kill myself.
the thing is, i can't come up with a reason why i'm so hugely depressed. actually, i can come up with a million reasons, but they never effected me before. so why now? why the hell am i like this?!? everyone tells me it's just a phase, but if i keep being bummed out like this, i'm completely f***ed up. it's effecting my studies, my fun, my life!
basically, it's like everything is absolutely and completely boring. always doing the same things. always going to school, studying, playing games, eating, sleeping, etc. it's an endless spiral of boredom. hell, not even playing games makes me go all YAY anymore. nothing excites me. it's like overnight, all my happiness and fun is being taken away, disappearing, just like that. and more and more, i'm being like a zombie. i'm ending up with nothing.
and every single fantasy thing (comic strips, cartoons, movies, games, etc.) seems more and more MUCH BETTER than reality, and that reality is simply more and more something so insanely monotonous(sp?) that i just can't put it with it.
that's probably why i sleep a whole lot on weekends. because in dreams, fantasy come true. and that seems to be the only time i'm happy lately. as soon as i wake up, ZING, i'm depressed like hell.
it's like there's simply something missing in my life. i mean, i never, ever, was like this. hell, i couldn't ever write this much about me, i mean, it's starting to sound like some lame LiveJournal or something. and to top it all, this is only happening in 2004.

[K^2]

Actualy, reality as you observe it is a direct result of the functions of your own mind, so in a way, it is almost like you create your own reality. It isn't exactly the same as it all being just in your head, but it is close.

When depressed, if you know why you are, try to change these things. If you don't, just try to focus on thigs that are of more interest to you. Not much else that you can do.

I've been in and out though depression so many times, and have thought of killing myself due to what has happened this year but there is people here who I won't hurt so decided to stay here although I've thought of seeing my dad, dog, aunt, and my dad's mom up in Heaven sometimes
Sometimes I escape reality for the game life, used to take Morrowind and that was my life, friends, etc
Do you know what you are missing? I'm missing a girlfriend...you know a girl companion to love, support, care but as true as it sounds no girls really bother to speak with me
Not to seem like an ass or to brag but I've got the fame, friends, love and care but sometimes aside from that aloneness takes over
Felt the same way as real life as you did Dan, hopefully 2005 will overrun and dominate 2004 like, 2005 is on the forumers side sort of thing
Hopefully you'll cheer up soon, being depressed is a very terrible and awful thing to go though, I feel your pain buddy

yes i have felt lonely many times, even with friends and all. problem is, usually you grow fond of people similiar to you in tastes and such. and... well, i doubt i'll find a girl similiar to me. specially in this country. i mean, a girl gamer (or even more doubtful, a girl that doesn't like RPGs!), in Portugal... nope i seriously doubt it. specially seeing the girls in my school, they're the sort of "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT REALLY CUTE GUY EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". you know, lots of annoying screaming and running and such. bleh.
yes, like you said, depression comes and goes. but it's still very annoying, and keeps leaving you sadder and sadder.

[Paul.Power]

I've been a little bit depressed and angsty (yes, I know, a very rare thing from me) lately when I suddenly realised that at heart I've always been an all-rounder, and that all these layers of specialisation (first into the sciences, then the physical sciences, then maths) have stifled me a bit. Don't get me wrong, I still love maths and science... but I've also remembered recently that I used to love to do almost everything else as well. A few choices here and there, and I could have been specialising in anything from chemistry to history to writing to drama. I'm a bit worried at heart that all this may be the root of why I'm not doing so well at University, because maybe at heart I'm one of those people who's really a jack of all trades and a master of none.

*addressing SupSuper*

The only thing I can really recommend is that you try something different, something you don't normally do. Make an effort to do something or learn something new. I can really give specifics, because I don't really know everything you do already but for example:

Learn a sport (If you aren't in great shape, try and find one that isn't too physically demanding, such as Golf, Table Tennis or Cricket). Even if you're no good, it'll take your mind off things. Best of all is if you can find an analogue of Churchill College's Random Sports society, where we just play silly games with no keeping score and no competition (my demon Rounders pitching aside).

Look at a subject in which you aren't doing so well, and try and better yourself at it - see if you can get a grip on what's really going on. Or try and find two subjects that appear unrelated, but that you can find links between (I really loved it at comp. when we were doing Animal Farm in Eng. Lit. and the Russian Revolution in History - so many parallels).

Tradition demands a third example, but I can't really find one except the one that's already been stated about girlfriends.

Why do you want a girl similar to you? I belive that girls who are similar to you make good friends, but not good girlfriends. Also, could you pass for someone older than your age? You might consider looking for girls who are a little older than you. It might solve the "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT REALLY CUTE GUY EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" problem, or you might have to just get used to that.

If you only talk about things that you're interested in, and not pay attention to anything else, then yes, of course. Just try to pay more attention to what people are telling you. Even if you aren't particularly interested in it, try to see it from their perspective. That way you can easily carry on a good conversation even with someone very different from yourself. And if you can just sit and chat with someone for extended periods of time, you are allready half way there.

what many people tell me is that i'm a one-topic person, i only talk about the same topic (guess what it is? ;)). not true, i can talk about many topics. i just don't know much about other topics to talk for a long time about them.
ok, i can get a bit carried away when talking about the same topic and ppl may find it annoying, but it doesn't happen always!

You remember I mentioned my friend the apiring lesbian? (For reference, she is without doubt the worst lesbian ever. Doesn't seem to have quite got the hang of it.) She is almost exactly the opposite of me. She's the kind of person you'd describe as "bubbly" had the word not been hijacked and bent until it meant "fat and irritating and impossible to shake off" (I seem to recall mentioning her as well).

I've often found that people I'm attracted to aren't like me. Frankly, few girls are (particularly since Daria is only a cartoon). But it does help if they have similar interests, as it gives you a good place to start talking from. If not, then discuss your respective opinions of popular cinematic experience Breakfast At Tiffany's and once the ice is broken you might be able to develop a common interest by introducing each other to new things until one of them sticks. If not, then good luck; it may still work. But I find having someone different than you with similar interests is good because you get a proper discussion about stuff, with different opinions in it. But then, different opinions lead to fights, so...

I give up. People are a problem.

[Newt X]

i didn't shave, and now my chin is fuzzy. :eek:

on the topic of girls, i'd just say be patient, and get to know some girl, and then ask her out. if she says no, then she says no, but you never know till you try. on the other hand, my relationship advice may not be the best. i didn't even ask my girlfriend out. she beat me to it by one day. :p plus, it didn't take much for me to get to know her, since we've been great friends since kindergarten.

[SupSuper]

the thing is, i don't know any girls to be attracted to. as a matter of fact, my class doesn't even have any girls this year!

i'll probably post other negative events later, stay tuned ;)

[Newt X]

wait a sec. you don't have any girls in your class? gah! i think i would die. anyway, there are always girls outside of school, if you look.

[Traxada]

well speaking from a depression point of view, ive been there and got the blood soaked t-shirt. But mine was luckily a phase in my younger years, but ive gone through again a few months ago unfortunately. A close friend of mine has medical depression, meaning he has to take pills for it, so if you go through a phase of hating urself and coming out the other side without a prescription, count urself lucky.

[K^2]

the thing is, i don't know any girls to be attracted to.
Now that is a scarry thought.

[AndrewTaylor]

the thing is, i don't know any girls to be attracted to
I have too many. You can have some of mine if you like.

[SupSuper]

Now that is a scarry thought.now you're finding out the magnitude of my problem :p
I have too many. You can have some of mine if you like.i already have a friend which seems to know half of the school's girl population (well at least the sane part of the school's girl population).

the main factor for me not having a friend girl (not the same as a 'girlfriend') is that 90% of the girls i've known (were in my class) were really annoying and mad girls which i didn't even want to be in the same room as them.
the other 10% were already taken :p
the other factor is, i hardly talk to girls. i simply can't find something to talk about with them. i never had a friend that was a girl (not the same as a 'girlfriend').
when i had girls in my class, i said "hi", "how are you doing?", you know, the typical. not much else to talk about.

ok, enough about girls. i had another negative events to report, hadn't i? yes i did. basically, it's school. this year (which i blame it sucking because it started in 2004) is being hell. why? because, for no apparent reason, i'm getting lousy grades in my tests. and since this is my last year of school and in the end of it i've got exams and stuff, it's REALLY gonna count. and if i understand the stuff, and study lots and such just like for all other school years, why are my grades SUCKING SO BAD?!?
to make matters weirder, i'm only getting bad grades on subjects i'm usually very good at. the subjects i suck at, i'm becoming good at them. so it's all twisted around. I'M DOING GOOD IN P.E!!! P.E. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!

oh, and to show you how serious my grades are being, um... here's the ones from my latest tests (grades go from 0 to 20):
Physics: 4.0
Chemistry: 9.6
Maths: 7.0
Portuguese: 8.4 (ok, this one i usually suck at. still, not this much. but still, it's poetry poetry poetry this year, so that explains it).
Electronics*: 15
Drawing**: 18

*well this year we're learning Electronics. the subject is, translated literally, Lab Techniques of Physics. basically, it's like Physics except that you spend 90% actually experimenting what you learn in labs, instead of just learning the theory and doing exercises like in regular Physics.
**don't know how to translate it. it's got perspectives and crap like that. translated literally would give you Drawing and Descriptive Geometry :confused:

Oh, remember my first post on this forum? Well I did something similar on the internal staff forum at work complaining about an aspect of my job that I did not enjoy. That was in the morning. By 3pm in the afternoon I was in front of two team leaders and the two people who trained me, being told that my jbo was in jeopardy. Which, I've been assured since by my Team Leader, it isn't. But I've learnt my lesson.

[SupSuper]

let's see... my day today:

- i completed sucked at my 2nd Maths test. me and probably 90% of the class. i tell you that teacher dispises us.
- P.E. was interesting. playing soccer and rugby outside, in a muddy field, wearing t-shirt and the temperature was freezing, and of course and the ocasional rain.
- my parents keep ****ing me off. it seems they actually want me to become agressive and curse at them or something. seriously, sometimes i just want my mom to STFU!
- i finally found a flash tutorial website (http://www.cartoonsmart.com) which seemed perfect for me. it had everything i wanted to learn. and theeeeen... i found out i needed a credit card number. ho-hum.

oh, it seems my body's self-heating system is busted. so i'm freezing... *dies*

It doesn't necessaraly have to be that 2004 is absolutly bad, it could be just bad compared to other years. So if in 2005 you'll win millions of dollars in a lottery, 2004 will seem to be pretty bad. For the rest of us, it will be a normal year.

toy story slinky dog sounds raw as hell, though.

i don't even know why i'm stressing so much about what to get her. knowing her, she probably wouldn't care one way or the other, but i want to get her something that'd actually mean something. oh well. i still have a few weeks to think of something. she loves music, and i've got tons of music on my computer. we share musical tastes, so i'm probably gonna burn her a lot of that for her (cause i'm too goddamn broke to buy it). i just need to think of something to actually buy her other than blank cds. :p

i've braced for impact, and so far it doesn't look good. we're going somewhere at 8 tonight, and i don't know whether i can't wait or whether i wish it would never come. the 4 hours between now and then are going to go so slowly. basically today has been a huge pile of ****. last night i only got 4 hours of sleep, and this morning i had absolutely no appetite.

but it was wierd. today at school, she was acting normal around me for some of the time, and then later in the day it was like...i don't know. not normal. it hurts. this is the girl i've loved since kindergarten, and i thought she finally loved me back.

i probably sound pathetically overemotional. that's how i feel. i feel like crawling into a corner and exploding.

i probably sound pathetically overemotional. that's how i feel. i feel like crawling into a corner and exploding.Don't worry about that, I had to wait a whole week for an "I'm flattered, but I don't think it'd work", and it's quite astonishing how different I felt from when I'm my normal, cheerful, rational (well, I say rational...) self.

[Newt X]

ugh. i'm leaving in an hour and 45 minutes. we're going to a play, and i'm going to talk to her beforehand. it's wierd thinking that by the end of tonight, our relationship will have undergone a drastic change either for the better or for the worse, probably for the worse.

wish me luck. these past few hours have been dragging on and on.

[K^2]

i probably sound pathetically overemotional.
No. That's about the ammount of emotion one would expect in such situation. Just being human there.

[FatWhitey]

Was suppost to go to a Christmas get together with a group of friends, but my depression robbed the chance to have gone
Ah well, there's always the next Christmas get together on Dec 17th

[FutureWorm]

What? K^2 is human? ;)

[Newt X]

What? K^2 is human? ;)
no ****ing way. ;)

i've decided that i'm not gonna keep on worrying for the next hour until i leave. this is life. there are highs and lows. this entire year up to this point has been a high, so i'm overdue. plus, whether ellen remains my girlfriend or not, we've been great friends since kindergarten, and i'm sure we'll stay that way no matter what. we've been through some crazy stuff together.

[FatWhitey]

we've been through some crazy stuff together

Getting stuck at the local kid’s amusement place, having to resort to playing in the ball pit only finding yourself telling Ellen it's disturbingly comfortable? :p

Best of luck how the whole Ellen situation works out, you've two been though tough times and this one will eventually overcome soon

[Newt X]

That's kinda crazy. minus the telling her it's disturbingly comfortable, we've done that (a few years back, though). :rolleyes:

Hey, I thought you were over your depression?

[FatWhitey]

Hey, I thought you were over your depression?

Nope, it comes and goes each day

[Newt X]

well, i talked to ellen after the play (very good play might i add) and...wait a second. **** this i'm in the wrong thread. read positive events. :)

[K^2]

What? K^2 is human? ;)
There is a human part to me. I tried destroying it, but your kind is surprisingly resilient. So I just keep my emotions in check to prevent myself from doing anything stupid.

Edit: I still end up doing stupid things occasionaly.

[Kjatte]

What's bothering you buddy?

[FatWhitey]

What's bothering you buddy?

What I've told you on MSN Messenger

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forumers of the T17 board

I'm having a bit of a dilemma and I'm in big trouble

You see...

Me and three buddies planned a Christmas get-together on the 10th, and we were all excited to see each other, see what we got each other and basically have a good time. On the night of my leave, my depression took over enabling me to attend. I told one of my buds who was attending I had to be excused due to my "illness" and said all right, told him sorry to disappoint you three but will be going to the Dec 17th one. And now it being Saturday, been scared to go on MSN Messenger to talk with them let alone explain my depression, so to the girl bud that planned and organized this I wrote this email:

I'm truly sorry I was not able to attend the Christmas get-together
The illness I had, was depression I just did not want you three to see
The condition I was in, know I let you three down and feel like such a
******* for not being able to go
To make it up to you, I'm bringing something in which everyone
Can enjoy, just a way to make it up to you three
You must be mad/upset at me it's understandable
I'll definitely go to the 17th one though, don't worry
Hopefully you three don't hate me too much

It's 8:44PM and not an email from both the girls I've sent duplicate emails to. This situation has gotten to me and can't forget it, I really messed up.

[K^2]

Ev, you worry too much about how people would react to what you say. Most people would be very understanding to your situation, and I'm sure your friends are among these people. They probably just haven't checked e-mails yet, or didn't find anything to reply. Just go on MSN and talk to them.

You're right...

But they're busy on saturdays, going out and such so tomorrow morning would be for the best

I'm just thinking of them being mad and upset with me, even if they will be it's understandable

[Kjatte]

Gotten an email back yet?

[FatWhitey]

Gotten an email back yet?

Nope, not yet

[Newt X]

we had a power failure at school today which ended up increasing my history class by ****ing 20 minutes, but it shortened math class, so it's all good. one of my friends was showering after gym when the power went out, and he found himself in a pitch black locker room. wow that'd kinda suck. :p ;)

[K^2]

That is trully horible. Now if that was a shorter history class and longer math class, I'd say it belongs in positive occurances.

[Newt X]

lol. they're my 2 least favorite classes, so it sorta evened itself out. :p

[MtlAngelus]

Why do people bother teaching/learning history anyways?

[K^2]

Beats me. I don't even belive in history.

[Traxada]

Why do people bother teaching/learning history anyways?

i dont know, in the vain hope that there is a glimer of intelligence in the masses of teenage adolscents who seem to think that knowing how to say your as ur is oxford degree material. Or maybe its the sense of futile despair

[Squirminator2k]

Amy isn't back from College until Friday evening. I miss her :-(

[Newt X]

i haven't really done any of my homework that's due tomorrow, and i honestly have no intention of starting it any time before 2 days from now. i know it's my own choice, so it's not really that negative cause it's completely in my control, but i was just trying to be on topic. :p i did finish reading high fidelity for school today, but that was the only homework i did.

[Squirminator2k]

Sorry to hear that, bud
She'll be back tomorrow evening. But that's 34 hours away, and it'll feel like an eternity. I guess playing The Sims 2 and Serious Sam, as well as helping my Mum (who can't walk very well) do ehr shopping tomorrow morning, will help pass the time.

[UnKnown X]

I had a term test today on Tuesday and I almost cut off my finger yesterday, and I stuck a pen into my hand on purpose.

Sarge: I forgot to click the "Close thread" button :p


On the subject of Negative Events, just after I went on a mass-deleting spree, my broadband connection decided to go to sleep. I still haven't got it back online.

So, I had to delete about 25 posts on a painfully slow dialup connection :mad:


My BB connection better come back soon...

[Run]

And again you delete my non-flaming post.

Surely that's a negative event too? Moderator power abuse? I feel it should be noted here. In the Negative Events thread.

[thomasp]

And again you delete my non-flaming post.

Run: That post still exists, I've just hidden it from member's view.

The post in question was part of the flame war, and I feel making it visible will just help to fuel the flame war fire, rather than letting it die out.

Please continue this discussion via PM.


For the record, unless Sel completely removes the post, I can still retrieve it and make it visible, so don't worry.


Please, can we just drop this topic now. If any more posts about the flame war are made, I will remove them. If you disagree with this, please send me a PM rather than posting in this thread.

Thanks and Merry Christmas :) *


* That's probably the wrong tone for this thread :rolleyes:

[K^2]

By this standart you should remove your own post, since it talks aobut the flame war.

[FutureWorm]

He deleted my post, which complained of censorship.

BUT I SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!

Fascist.

[Kjatte]

It's the thomasp regime! All bow! Bow or be deleted/"hidden"! ;)

[Squirminator2k]

Oh, that's unnecessary. Okay, so in his original warning post he was a little unnecessarily blunt. But let's face it, the way this thread has dissolved into mindless flaming no Moderator or Administrator in their Right Bloody mind would've left this to go on. If you ask me, I think Thomasp is doign a cracking job as a moderator, and I bet you'd all agree with me if it didn't directly affect you.

What people need to remember is just because we've been about longer than some of the others doesn't mean we've any more Rights than they do.

[Kjatte]

I agree with thy!

[AndrewTaylor]

I went to Osset yesterday afternoon.

Accidentally.

Well, it was dark and the bus windows were filthy and I haven't gone that way in about a year, so I missed my stop. I knew it was bad when I saw the signs saying "WELCOME TO OSSETT! HA HA HA!!! and the huge jagged red rocks and fire.

[SargeMcCluck]

Those jagged red rocks and that fire are really annoying. I wonder if they're there BECAUSE of Team17? Maybe they don't actually make games, they summon them from a demon netherworld and then just sell them off!

That's it! I think I've solved.. wait a minute, someone's at the door. They look like they are bright red with a pitchfork and fire near them and such. I'll be back in a fe-

[AndrewTaylor]

I do wish you'd stop getting killed. You had us all worried last time.

[Squirminator2k]

I had NOTHING to do with it, I swear.

Everyone is out of school for Christmas Break today. Except for me. I still have to go to school next week through Wednesday.

[Paul.Power]

Why do people bother teaching/learning history anyways?Well, I found it interesting , particularly when I did it at GCSE.

Mind you, the grand list of Comprehensive School Subjects I Have Never Found Interesting stands at... um... well, none, actually. Even Art had its occasional moments. Oh, hang on, PE was fairly rubbish (although I got the hang of its counterpart, Games, by GCSE). Welsh was farily dull most of the time, I guess, although that too had its moments.

[Test Zero]

I have next Monday and Tuesday.
Same here!

[SupSuper]

well what can i say... there's nothing better to start holidays than windows breaking for the Nth time.
basically, it commited suicide. it forced me to install SP2 and, as usual, gave me an error in the middle since one of the files was in use. then it tried to undo its changes but that gave an error too so it left windows half-upgraded which, needless to say, broke it :p

and as it seems, my custom Windows XP SP2 cd no longer has the "repair" option (it can't even remove other installation), so now i'm stuck using a NEW windows installation while there's ANOTHER windows installation broke in the computer. also, this new installation doesn't like ATI's drivers, says they're incompatible, so i'm stuck at 640x480 16 color. ugly way to see things let me tell you.

so basically, i've had it! i'm switching to Linux and leaving a working Windows installation for whatever doesn't work with it. like games. and that's that, i've permanently had it! :mad:

[FutureWorm]

Get a Mac.

:p

[SupSuper]

Get a Mac.

:pi'm not made of money you know. Linux is free :p

[Paul.Power]

I've had really achey knees and ankles over the last couple of days. Probably I've been pacing around too much (as I am wont to do when excited) during the Test Match.

[Newt X]

i went in to the doctor to get a little mole thingy removed from my shoulder. it was quick and painless, fortunately, but it seemed like kinda a waste of time.

my shoulder's numb right now and i can poke it with things, so i guess this could fit under positive events as well.

[Zero72]

I've had really achey knees and ankles over the last couple of days. Probably I've been pacing around too much (as I am wont to do when excited) during the Test Match.I feel ya. I work around on a concrete floor all day at work. It beats the hell out of my knees.

[Kjatte]

I shouldn't be up this late!

[Zero72]

I have to work from 4:30 to midnight tomorrow... well, technically today, Wednesday... and Thursday. :(...

And from like 2 to 6 or something like that on Christmas Eve.

I better friggin' have the 26th off.

[SargeMcCluck]

Apparently Amazon.co.jp don't ship software outside of Japan. This is annoying, as there's some software I wanted to order from there. And I also managed to translate enough of one of the other items I wanted to find out that it's a marketplace item. Which is terribly doom, I'm not buying it from marketplace. So that's two of the seven items I'm going to order unorderable. Unless I find someone who lives in Japan and is willing to ship them to me.

Grr.

Ouch. That's really too bad.

Reminds me of how Amazon.co.uk wouldn't ship Worms 3D to the States.

Same thing I believe - Amazon.co.jp don't ship:

toys & hobbies
software
games
game consoles
electronics
home & kitchen items
adult products


Outside of Japan. Which is doom, as at some point I'm intending to get a Japanese PS2 and quite a few Japanese PS2 games. So I need to find someone trustworthy that lives in Japan. Hmm. Maybe Tetsuo will know someone... *will ask him*

[BetongÅsna]

Damned Amazon. Would it really do them that much harm?

[MonkeyforaHead]

I better friggin' have the 26th off.
Dunno exactly where Zeor's been over the past day and a half (and I'm not about to pry, since it is just winding down from Christmas), but I talked to him briefly before he vanished and yeah, he got today off... because he was laid off.
