Random Rants VI: See, this is why we can't have nice things!

[choxorn]

Recharged. But other than that, I want to send all of my old pics to a memory card for the phone I want. Which will be the same type I will have.

Wait, is there some kind of warranty? Wait, it doesn't apply. Crap.

choxorn are confused.

Come on, Az! Tell me you couldn't make a list of the things you loved about life and break into song at the end!

Probably not. I hate singing. On the bright side, I'm no longer feeling as incredibly emo as I was the other night. On the down side, I'm still incredibly tired.

I have something resembling morning sickness....its kinda weird. I feel really nauseous in the morning but it goes away by the afternoon. This has happened for the past 3 days or so.

Procrastinated(ing) too much on this stupid extended essay. I hate IB so much.

Nobody cares about why Japan joined World War II.

Haikus piss me off.
So you have the ability to count.
This doesn't make you a poet.
So piss off!

Haiku's are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

That's such a great one. It's probably my favorite haiku of all times.

But BTW, it was not invented on this forum. Proof here.

I meant that I got it from the forums. (here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=271985)

To stay on topic: It's summertime and the weather is horrible, cold and wet!

Edit: Haikus piss me off.

Now that's five syllables, with some think and puzzling you can make it in to a Haiku!

Well, they're fun. Like mad libs. Making a haiku doesn't make you a poet any more than taking a black-and-white photo of a frickin leaf makes you a photographer. But the stupid picture might be cool anyway, in a superficial, braindead, just-walking-by kind of way.

PS The ability to rhyme does not make one a poet either.

PPS Or the ability to write what is structurally a poem.

PPPS Eff emo kids.

PPPPS I still like haiku.

Don't forget go to the bathroom.

With all that PPPP, I'm sure it's an emergency by now.

I am unbelievably pissed off right now.

You probably know I have Asperger's Syndrome, so I have an IEP for it. I want to make changes to it. So I tell my mom the changes I want to make and one other thing. Keep this secret, and only tell it to dad. Her reply: "Not even *insert name of my case manager here, we'll just call him Pete because his first name is not Pete*?"

"Not even him."

A few days later, she asks the question again. I reiterate my point and say that I don't want you to tell Pete because I want to keep it private.

Same thing happens a few days later. But then, a few days later, I hear a message on the machine. It started out like this:

"Hi, this is Pete again. I'm just calling to talk to you about Ben's changes to his IEP. Call me back when you're home. OK? Bye."

At this moment, I went ballistic. I mean, there's a large difference between when to respect privacy and when not to respect privacy. I mean, searching through, say, my bureau to check if I have bad things (e.g. weapons) is good. I wouldn't get pissed about that. But I specifically told my mother not to tell him because I wanted it to remain private.

I will have a discussion about this when she gets home.

P.S. Anyone says any derisive, rude, or mean comments directed at me, they will immediately be reported to the moderators.

Mean: "Dear God, I should kill you for that rant."

Not mean: "I would spank you if I were a parent." (Props to this user for shifting my viewpoint a bit)

Reminding myself.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

What exactly is an IEP?

Also, have you ruled out the possibility that your mom told your dad who then told pete?

 

[silver 2039]

Not mean: "I would spank you if you were a parent."

I didn't know you were a sado-masochist.

but why is haiku so popular, not, say, iambic pentameter or trochee?

 

[choxorn]

IEP= Individualized Education Plan, which is politically correct-slang for "this person has something that means his ability to learn things is different" Or something like that.

Dear god, I should kil... never mind.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Dare I ask why Pete shouldn't know about a change in this IEP? As your case worker, shouldn't he be aware?

 

[D'Artagnan59]

For one year. At school. So he's now my ex-case manager.

Also, that was a typo. I'm not a sado-masochist.

And I have ruled it out because my mother confessed that she told him on the phone.
