Complaints/Confessions Department
 
Howdy, folks!
Ever have something really really really annoying happen, but you couldn't complain about it cuz no one would listen?
Ever do something that you later regretted, and wish you could make up for it?
Well, that sucks.
But! As an alternative, you can post and questions, complaints, or confessions right here!
Enjoy!

My week has/will be terrible. Terrible amounts of homework. I won't bother with much detail. I'm having naggy feelings about a girl. Because of random shit, I can't get a haircut on Friday like I wanted. Very,very little sleep. Extra band rehearsals after school. Bah. I've complained to a couple of people about this already, but no matter what the circumstances are, work piles up no matter what this time of year.

But hey, I've discovered I like the old blues music alot. A good point. Hoorah.

One time some stupid lady call the cops saying me and my buds where in her yard. the cops came and took us home. You can tell I got grounded for a month. I was not even in her yard but we would call her an old witch sometime. Another thing is my big brother dan went out with this one girl. After a year she came back asking my brother to go out with her when he said no she told the cops he raped her. he's going to jail in a month. that bitch ruind his life. If I could I would go to her house and punch her or shoot her.

Hobo 03-25-2004 05:01 AM

I've been having a half average half shite week. As with Majic, girl feelings and shit, along with coursework and Tom being a dickhead.

Dit-oh. Really annoying

Love...Evil thing eh?

Mac the Janitor 03-25-2004 12:13 PM

Wow, you guys seem down.

Be a Positive Pete, not a Negative Nelly!

:p

Anyways, my week has been great...I just asked out this chick I've liked for a whie, and we're hitting it off pretty good...and I've had like, no homework. At all.

Life is good.

Majic 03-25-2004 04:59 PM

Tomorrow is Friday. In the everlasting words of McDonalds "i'm lovin it'.

Oh, and Mac, I hate you:p

Dave 03-26-2004 08:52 AM

I have always had a secret thing for the fish sandwiches they serve at my school. They are most sincerely awesome!
Ahh, yes. Lately, things have been going great! I can most assuredly say that now that I am not thinking so much about my ex,
LIFE
ARE
GOOD!

Majic 03-26-2004 01:56 PM

Today is Friday. I went several pleasant hours without being online, had a kick ass day at school, and I'm off to a friends house whenever they happen to return to their abode. My week of hell over, praise the lord like an ethnic choir women!

Joshy 03-26-2004 02:02 PM

I did my speech... and it sucked... i hate public speaking!

nads 03-26-2004 02:02 PM

I learned one awful thing these past 2 weeks: Don't slack off. I've got a project and an essay due Monday and haven't started either.

Dave 03-26-2004 02:32 PM

That sucks.
I know how it is, too: I had a project due today that we were given a month to do, and I started it this past wednesday. Luckily it was a group project, and we did pretty good when we presented it.

oddguy 03-26-2004 02:41 PM

Life is working for me nicely. I'm looking for a job at the moment and hoping to get employed by somebody. Once that happens, I'm planning on getting a car so that I can be mobile. After that, save up enough cash to move outta my house. Nothing wrong with home or family, I just crave independance lately.

GrigtheSlig 03-26-2004 04:05 PM

Grrr...

My friend set me up with this girl, we went out for 4 days, and my friend broke up with me for her! WHAT A BITCH! And now I don't even know if my friend is going to hang out with me anymore because he hangs out with her all the time!

I'm happy now...

GrigtheSlig :D

Mac the Janitor 03-26-2004 05:36 PM

That is...really weird, Grig.

Care to elaborate?

GrigtheSlig 03-26-2004 08:31 PM

Sorry about the ranting, I think I just needed to get it out of my system... and yes, I will elaborate....

Cast of Characters:

Grig=Me
Ryan=Best Friend
Mary=Girlfriend

My best friend, Ryan set me up with his friend...Mary. So Mary and I went out for 4 days... On the 5th day, I'm just about to call her, when Ryan calls...

Renactment of Phone Call

Ryan: Hey Grig...
Grig: Yeah, what's up?
Ryan: Mary breaks up with you...
Grig: Ok, whatever...
Ryan: Okay, I gotta go...

*Ryan hangs up

So, now I'm worried that my best friend won't hang out with me anymore because I'm not going out with Mary... I didn't even like Mary, I just like having friends! How annoying is that?

Someone get mad on my behalf! :fuzmad:

GrigtheSlig : pissed :

Dave 03-27-2004 12:32 PM

Well if he's your best friend, but he won't hang out with you because of this girl, what made him your best friend?
Did he like this girl? Did he want to go out with her? Did you ask him to break up with her for you?

Mac the Janitor 03-27-2004 07:48 PM

Yeah, was he only friends w/ you to get closer to Mary?

Are you sure she told him to say this, or do you think he made it up for some scheming reasons?

oddguy 03-28-2004 09:46 AM

Grig tells me that Mary and Ryan are best friends. So with Mary not wanting anything to do with Grig, he thinks Ryan might do the same. That's what he was trying to say.

Mac the Janitor 03-29-2004 04:04 AM

I have a complaint/confession/whatever. I guess you could call it a mini-rant.

My last ex was co-ray-zee.

She is THE definition of rebounder. Seriously.

Oh, and after I broke up w/ her she'd try so hard to get me jealous and shit, even though it wasn't a sad/mad breakup...I still wanted to be friends w/ her, but apparently she just wanted to "get me back" for breaking up w/ her and not crawling back.

And a couple of weeks ago she hacked into my LiveJournal, changed everything, put some pretty mean stuff in there for me, and posted some fake entries pretending she was me.

Sorry, I just had to get that out.

I'm done now.

Wil 03-29-2004 05:36 AM

I have enough work and revision to pad out a couple of large school terms, and a remarkably short amount of time to complete it. However, this isn't the first time it's happened. Indeed, it's been much like this for a long time, now. You know what really sucks? I used to be able to work, but then at some point during L5 (darn you James) my motivation started slipping, slipping, slipping. My work ethic plummeted last year, and now I'm really paying the price, even though it's not actually my fault, damnit!

And everyone jokes about it. Pffft, like they know the suffering I'm going through. I mean, I can joke about it to a degree, but they just have to take it too far, or rub it in. I know they're just amusing themselves, but it hurts. Anyway, just wish me luck: I got a fair amount done today, so there's that much less work to do now. ;)

Oh buddies, have I got a lot to complain about. Expect me back.

Hobo 03-29-2004 06:00 AM

Ok this confession si dead serious, Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, well not since I was past 11 anyway.

For the first time in ages, I am totally happy with the way my life's going: My complexion is clearing up, I've managed to find a style for my hair, my friends are being nice, especially Tom, I seem to be doing really well with my GCSE's and best of all I just seem to be able to enjoy life, even though I have found even more flaws with the human race than ever before.

Statikk HDM 04-01-2004 10:15 AM

I'm having one of the roughest years ever. My grandfather(who's really been my stand-in parental figure) has been diagnosed with cancer again and I'm getting a lot of hazing at school. I've had over 300 dollars with of videogames and peripherals along with 80 dollars stolen, all of my books and possessions have been vandalized, my hours have been cut in half at work even though I'm owed nearly 30 dollars in back pay, and I'm just barely passing Math after I bombed the last 3 tests.

ClaireBear 04-04-2004 10:19 PM

Pooh times!?

How many characters do I get in a quick reply!? :)

Being made to feel like crap by a load of avatars and signitures!!!!!

Having another out break of nerves on Saturday night!

Not having a real Easter Holiday! (I get 2 days!)

And there's a whole lot of other stuff but... I'm not into total cathartic release.. some things are private!

ANN NEELY 04-07-2004 12:28 PM

I'm the artist at school, and EVERYONE wants me to draw something for them. Such as Dragons, Neopets, Poke'mon, Oddworld (Which I'm ok with drawing all the time), Invader Zim, and so on and so on. I can't get any time to draw for myself! People and their demands! I'm not there to fulfill their every request, ya know? Draw a dragon, draw me, draw a bunch of grapes, Ugh, I'm so sick of it! And some kids even claim that they drew the picture, which makes me really mad. I'm about ready to ram my paper folder down their throats.
Good to let THAT out....

Dave 04-08-2004 12:15 PM

Start to charge for doing pictures for people you don't like and for pictures you really don't want to draw.
At least that way they paid for the pictures that they claimed to draw.
I guess.

ANN NEELY 04-08-2004 12:19 PM

That sounds good. Or, I could signature my drawings in pen.

Codek 04-14-2004 07:25 PM

I've had a pretty shit week too. I took the car in to have it serviced this week, and when they jacked it up, the dunce they had working for them released the bolts for the nitro injection canister. It fell right down to the ground, knocking the nozzle off the end, and the whole thing shot off like a missile into some other guys BMW.

Didn't do any harm whatsoever to my car. I got a new nitro, and sent the bill to the garage. But that place got shut down because of that. Just because of one idiot mechanic. They were the only place near me that serviced racing cars without charging some obscene amount of money for it, and now that fag is probably driving around in a BMW laughing about how much money I will have to pay to get my car serviced.

Mac the Janitor 04-22-2004 03:15 PM

I know this thread is kinda old, but it's a real good idea.

Plus, I have something I've just gotta talk about.




I just got off the phone with my girlfriend.

We broke up.



Holy shit...this feels worse than anything else. This has to be the worst breakup I've had. Shit. As emo as it may seem, I'm bawling my ****ing eyes out right now.

Oh my ****ing god. She was the most amazing girl I've ever met. Holy shit.

It's all gone.

Shit.

At least it wasn't anything about me or us though.

Oh, and the best part is that next monday is (or was) our anniversary.

And Saturday is her birthday.

We were going to do something on Sunday to conjoin the two events. I had the most amazing night planned. It was just gonna sweep her off her ****ing feet.

But not anymore.

God this is shit.

(I'm probably gonna get so much crap for this post, but I don't give a damn...I had to get it out.)

Majic 04-22-2004 05:38 PM

In response, I could say something such as "Don't worry, in time it'll pass," or "There's plenty of other chicks. She wasn't good for you anyways." But any second glance shows nothing except for blatant false sympathy and a gaping lack of thought large than the San Andrea's fault. Thus, instead, I'll try to say something that'll actually mean something after 2 weeks:

If you actually confide with someone now, early on, preferably a female, it'll work out much better. A sleep deprived state helps quite a bit, I might add, due to the lack of effort capable of being put into hiding, embarassment, etc...

Codek 04-22-2004 10:05 PM

Damn Mac, that's not a good hand.

Well you're only 15 and all I can say is don't worry over it too much. Yeah sure it may've been good, but you're way too young to be expecting anything like that to last.

Sorry to hear about it though, I've had the same thing happen to me before and it wasn't nice. But I got over it, in fact it was pretty easy once I'd accepted it. So just hang in there, you'll find someone else, and if it was really meant to be, she'll come back to you.

I know it hurts Mac...

but... this may be the first time but it probably won't be the last time this happens!

If you figure you'll marry when you're what?... late 20's... thats a lot of girlfriends from now until then unless you're really lucky!

Its nice that you had such strong feelings for this girl and that you're not afraid to show them... time is a great healer though... you'll be fine.

Don't really know what to say... I didn't "date" til I was 17... I didn't kiss a til I was 16... I was a virgin until I was 18!... I feel so inaddequate around you guys... you do so much so soon!

*looking back at Death's post*

EDIT:

Jesus D! You may as well have said "You're 15 you faggot... you can't love her... grow up.. no wait don't... you're behaving way above your station already!"

Have you heard of sensitivity!?! :angry:

Mac hates it when people "diss" or make refernce his youth!

Codek 04-22-2004 10:17 PM

I started going out with girls when I was 14.

I always knew that it wouldn't be serious. Right from the very first moment I knew. I guess I never really felt bad when they dumped me. In fact I remember one time when I was actually glad to be dumped so I could start going out with her hott friend! :D

And actually CB, I wasn't saying anything derogatory or condescending about Macs age. I was saying more about the fact that most people his age aren't looking for anything long term. It can freak a girl out if she is getting into anything serious when she didn't intend to. Trust me.

ClaireBear 04-22-2004 10:20 PM

Well... :blush: ... Its different for girls... isn't it? I mean... 17 thats not too old is it?... is it?

I didn't date when I was younger because of what you just said... all the lads were just wanting to get laid!!!!

That.... and the fact I was in the top ability group, had braces and ecsma (spelling!)

And... girls do want serious D! It just depends on what you mean by serious... if serious is fumbling first time sex in a park behind a bush... then "NO!" we don't want "serious"

If its dates, parties, long talks, cuddles and kisses, laughs and fun... then at 14/15 we want serious! :D

Exactly. 15 year olds aren't quite the same as 18 or 20 year olds. It's not that big a difference in terms of time, but it is in maturity. Mac is ahead of time in terms of his maturity. He is a very mature person for his age. And that's unfortunate because he will probably be very alone in that. There are not many mature 15 year olds in the sea.

ClaireBear 04-22-2004 10:39 PM

Hmmm...

I dunno about that... there are so many many images and idols out there for the younger generation to follow... when I taught in a secondary school as part of my Primary education degree... I saw a lot of what I called "faux maturity".

I pointed this out to a member of staff who managed PHSE and counselling and he agreed... a lot of the "more mature" kids could talk the talk and walk the walk but really they'd love nothing better than to be still playing with their plastic toy cars/dolls at 13 or playing footie/tag and bloc til its dark in the street when they're 15 rather than... drinking til they spew and having to hold their "girlfriend's/boyfriends" hand when out in the town on a Saturday!

Society has forced them in a false maturity through fashion media and the behaviour of public icons... they all feel the need to behave in a "mock adult" fashion... he (and a lot of other child psychologists) blame this for the huge rise in early teen depression.

Imagine constantly comparing yourself physically to those stupid American teen dramas (Dawson's Creek for one!) characters who are meant to be 15/16 and are played by 25!!! year old actors! Then look at the media's presentation of teens... all well dressed, loads of friends, money, banging each others brains out!!!! Such ideals are false... the stress of competing to be "NORMAL" must be monumental!!!

*CB steps off soap box*

Sorry... I have very strong views on this matter, as an educator I see the results... it ain't pretty.
