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

Same thing I would have suggested to Eran, but again your religion gets in the way. Jim Beam is your friend.

I appreciate the thought anyways

Fey, despite being a pathetic excuse for a tropical storm, is wreaking all sorts of havoc with my departure schedule.

Welcome to senior year. Saddle up.

Thanks, it's going to be a wonderful journey. Please kill me now.

Muwhahaahahhaa. Mine was 10 times worse. I didn't even start applying until after Christmas. And I took SAT I and II late, and I had to take SAT I twice. And I was doing the IB at the same time. It was living hell. I got like two hours of sleep a night, I would go to sleep at 4 and then wake up at 6 and then go to school and run around trying to get things done. And in between that were things like the extended essay, internal assessments, big lab things that took over my weekends, I had to go to bloody skool on weekends to finish my work. I would spend as many as 4 hours in school on Saturday.

SUFFER!!

I'm taking the SAT I twice, I took it once in the spring and now once on October somethingth. And that sounds like pure hell.

I rant that people always try to make it seem like thier problems are worse than anybody elses. Like there's some kind of suffering contest going on.

You think that's bad? I have groups of people come up to me on the street and ask me to decide which of them has a shittier life! All you have to do is go to another website!

That's easy. The one without the dog, right?

Man, no matter how much I love Java Bean, I liked her a lot better when my mom was her primary caretaker. I raised Chloë, so she's very well-behaved, but my mom hasn't been strict enough with Beans. The little booger has no leash manners, and I have to keep the poor baby in her crate during the day because puppy-proofing the entire house is not an option, and Beans is a chewer. Can't bring her to work, either, like I do with Chloë, because of her bad manners. No leash manners at all, so even though it would be better to take Beans running with me at night, because she's got more energy to burn, I have to take Chloë if I want to go any faster than one mile per hour.

Le sigh.

My trip to Utah has decended into a fit of madness.

The initial reason for me coming was to say goodbye to my Grandpa, who has terminal cancer. Ever since the tragic death of my own father, my Grandpa has pretty much given up, and you can see it when you actually see him. I love my Grandpa, but being with him now is a pretty surreal and depressing experience...because clearly nothing I can say or do (or really anybody for that matter), can really change his mind or his state.

Plus, my Grandpa was recently flat out robbed by some greedy daughters/other grandchilren, and his estate is being torn apart in a feud between power hungry other relatives that stretches the bounds of Basic Human Decency. Its even more strange, because very few of his remaining possessions have actual monetary value. Its about Power and Fear.

Finally, now my sister is in the ER here at the U of U with a breathing problem, and everybody is terrified as to how this might affect her baby.

Its been 72 hours of pure madness, and I'm the only healthy/somewhat sane party in this whole bunch. I'm not sure how much more I can take

Yeah, High School is HELL.

I hate it when people do stuff like this. You're not old, so you don't know what hard work is. Give me a break, it's a pathetic attitude coming from a different generation and perhaps a different socio-economic area. There are different pressures and different expectations placed on you. Grow up.

I feel for you. I can only hope that all works out well for you. I hope your grandpa gets the respect he deserves. It's sickening that in our day and age people must fight over minor physical possesions. All you can do is make your grandpa feel that you do indeed love him. (which I'm sure you do) It sounds like he could do with a close, personal friends at the moment. Believe me, you'll feel better for it in the long run, even if the heartbreak is more intense at first.

I also hope your sister and her baby pull through. I've experianced a couple of scares similar to this, but all have been ok in the end. Hopefully, you will be the same.

And never ever give up. You can take a hell of a lot more my friend. Although you feel horrible now, when it's all over you will be a stronger, wiser man.

I hope I didn't make you feel worse.

You're right, I have different pressures and expectations on me. And they don't compare to those placed on High Schoolers.

Well starting tomorrow night if there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask. I've also got plenty of relatives in the area and I'm sure they'd be willing to lend a hand. If you want my cell don't hesitate to PM me.

That's what I thought too. A year ago. A whole year's worth of different pressures and expectations.

It's really not that bad, and you'll survive just fine.

Guess what? You can rant about them in this thread. I'm doing about mine. Don't troll, rant.

EDIT: When I think about, these kind of posts annoy me more and more. They're non-constructive. I'm guilty of them too, but that doesn't make it any less okay to do. If you feel annoyed by them, offer something constructive as other users have done, don't be an ass about it, but some people just like to laugh at others. It's okay, your penis is still small.

 

[choxorn]

I too am annoyed by people that think you need to be older than 21 to have any understanding of how the world works.

I used to think that way until I was over 21. You'll change too.

Yeah, now that I'm over 21 I know that nobody has any understanding of how the world works.

I'm not annoyed by them, I'm amused. Amused to the point that I fell on the floor laughing.

Here is a constructive post: Have some thick skin and don't get so pissy when people point out your deficiencies. Sometimes they will do it nicely, but not always, and depending on what line of work you chose, maybe never.

Okay, answer me this. What was the point of you coming into this thread, quoting me, and saying ROFL? Was it constructive criticism? (That would be a weird way of constructively helping someone.) Was it to troll me? (This seems to be the correct answer looking at future posts.) The fact of the matter is you went out of your way to make fun of my "problems"? I have pretty thick skin, but this one got to me because you seem to think your problems make mine look marginal. Maybe they do, but that doesn't give you an excuse to marginalize my problems on an internet forum on a rants thread. You must be either making up for something or you want to ignore your own problems. To each his own though.

Not marginal compared to mine, I don't really have any problems. Marginal, period, and I was ROFL that you and silver seem to think High school is "hell." Now that is funny, if you can't see that, then...
