The Rant Thread...

[Dameon]

I'VE BEEN RANTING ON OTHER THREADS, AND IT WAS MOSTLY IRRELEVANT. SO I'VE WRITTEN THIS THREAD.

TRY TO USE IT SPARINGLY, BUT IF YOU FEEL LIKE A RANT, THEN THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO NUTS...

SO:

WHAT REALLY MAKES YOU ANGRY?

[Dameon]

For me, it's the terrible government we have in this country and the terrible decisions it's made. Taking a bad idea like economic rationalism and taking it to it's even worse extreme!!!

I can't wait till the election!!! (Not that Labor will be much better, I feel another rant coming on, but at least Latham is able to make policy decisions without checking with George Bush whether or not it's okay)

If Howard gets re-elected, ya'll will know on election night, even those of you overseas. Because you will be sure to hear me scream.

What makes me angry:
MY MOM COMPLAINS AND THREATENS TO TAKE AWAY MY VIOLIN BECUASE I DON'T PRACTICE AND SHE DOESN'T HEAR ME DO IT. OR SO SHE SAYS I JUST DO IT WHEN SHE ISN'T AROUND BECUASE SHE CAN BE CRITICAL AND NOISY DOING CHORES. THE VIOLIN IS A HARD INSTRUMENT. I DOUBT SHE COULD PLAY IT. SHE COULDN'T REALLY DO IT WHEN SHE TRIED. I SAY LEAVE ME ALONE GOOD WOMAN AND TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU DO KKNOW ABOUT!

don't get me wrong i love my mom but... it is aggravating. when i ask her if she wants to hear me practice she says no!

tis a long debate between us may never be solved.

rant from elspethseeker greviously annoyed.

[Glynnavyre]

I hate Boys... I mean I'm not gunning for the girls (If thats what your thinking!) But trying to go out with somebody is such hard work...

I hate being single... I've been single for over three years now. At first it was the decision I made because I'm life was going nowhere, I didn't know what I wanted to do, I was the biggest desporado walking the streets (I can admit it now) and everything was just a big mess. So I decided so sort my life out and being to truely start to love myself which I did and now eventhing has worked out so well... Then a few months ago I decided I was sick of being single and I was back out in the relationships gain... So now when everything seems up and down with this guy and I ask myself "Why does this have to be so hard?!?"... Why can't I just wake up tommorrow morning and already be in a steady relationship and be maintaining it instead of trying to make a whole new one as I'm trying to do now!?!

I'm sick of it... Boys smell!

Thankyou for letting me rant...

[Elspethseeker]

Glynna! wait come back kayt yhas your solution. Kayt tell her about your scociety!

[Dameon]

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say:

I HATE ACNE!!! I HATE IT!!! HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! STUPID ACNE!!! I'M EIGHTEEN!!! IT SHOULD BE DYING DOWN BY NOW, BUT NO!!! ACNE, BLOODY ACNE!!! ON MY CHIN, ON MY FOREHEAD, ALL OVER MY NECK, ON MY SHOULDERS, MY BACK, UP MY NOSE!!!!!

ARGH!!!!

I HATE IT!!!

im sick of this bloody cold weather! global warming my butt!

My rant...

I'm sick of not being able to trust anyone. Glynna I was the same as you, I hadn't had a REAL relationship for ages, and I'd made the decision to not have any more because the problem was obviously inside me and had to be sorted out...then this lovely gorgeous Kiwi guy comes along and offers the world to me...and I'm still all screwed up.
But I can't trust him...I can't trust my parents, I can't trust my family, I can't trust my other friends. I like people to leave it all up to me so that at least I know it'll be done right because if they stuff up, they could jeapordise something special...I dunno. I need to TRUST PEOPLE! But how do you trust people when you're best friend who you thought would never betray you pulls the carpet out from under you and says you mean nothing?! How do you trust your parents when your dad has never been there for you - why should that change?
ARGH!!

final rant: people are stupid and I hope I never have to work in anything where I meet and greet people ever again. Stick me in a cave with a computer and let me go to town on it. I'm sick of dealing with ignoramuses.

Ok, cool, thanks for the rant thread Kayt, that felt good ;D

[Elspethseeker]

Yes Kayt I am with you all the way i finally started taking medicine for mine but have stopped becuase it is so complicated. actually not too bad try tea tree oil helps. i found a tea tree oil wash really helps. Check it out.

[Elspethseeker]

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

[Dameon]

Well, it's 11:41 and I have just had absolutely THE worst morning, EVER in the WHOLE of Today, and I just thought I'd come here and rant!

So I had a History Lecture at 10:00 right, and it's nothing but how to use WebCT and log on to the computers and stuff FOR 50 MINUTES!!! I nearly died! HOW OLD DOES HE THINK WE ARE, LIKE 5?

IT DOENS'T NEED A STEP BY STEP WORKSHOP, PEOPLE!!!

So I had nearly an entire page of doodles. I drew a swiss cheese, and a spider and a scary martian and my poodle and a worm and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Then I had some things to do round campus, so i went to pay my HECS, and I was third in line, but there was this annoying girl in front of me who spent like 10 MINUTES talking to the cahsier about this and that and getting what bricks were explained into her and I was like COME ON!!! All I did was say "Is this form okay?" and the woman said yes and I stapled it together and put it in the box, took like three seconds. I swear, towards the end I nearly strangled the stupid girl! I know I sound like an aggravated, intoleran impatient little sod, but what about a bit of consideration, woman!
There were like 10 people in line behind me and judging by there aggravated faces and frustrated groans I was not the only hurried one with better things to do and other places to be.

And then I had to go back and get money from the ATM and then go further to pay for my brick, but THANKFULLY the line wasn't that long, but it seemed everyone in front of me took twice as long as I did. I'M NOT EXAGGERATING! They really took a lot longer than me! Why is that?

And then I had to go all the way up to the third floor of haydon-allen, and you have NO IDEA how far that is, to collect the Brick I'd just payed for.

Then I had to go down and into the next building to sign up for an presentation tick for ancient history, and all the tutes only had two topics taken so far, EXCEPT MINE, which had only a couple left. And it's not that I don't LIKE Euripides or anything, I'd just like to have had a bit of choice.

Then I had to go to to the bookshop and get two textbooks, the FINAL TWO and they cost nearly as much as all my other books put together. And they're SO heavy! and then i came here to have a rant but I couldn't get a computer for FIVE MINUTES, even though I was willing to settle for a Mac.

Then I finally got this one and I had trouble convincing the computer I had a full account to use the net, but I did. So now I'm here, ranting at you.

I'll stop.

Not all in all such a bad day, and gee I must sound whingy, but it was just one of those mornings that was so FRUSTRATING, you know what I mean, when everything is just inconvienent the whole time!

Okay, thus concludes my rant.

KSL

[Glynnavyre]

I feel like ranting... But it's ok I'm only going to choose I of many topics to go on about...

Is it just me but does it feel like IC keeps starting new series before she finishes old ones... Like somebody said in th 'Rage Winnoway' thread that they hope she doesn't start another series before she finishes some and i thought... well what a good point cause I'd be really annoyed if she started more books and series without giving us something more of OC or LS... I soppose I'm not a writer and I don't know whats it like to have many, uncatchable thoughts buzzing around in your head at one time but... you know...!

I know she is not looking foward to finishing OC because it will leave a certain emptiness but sometimes we all have to bite the bullet...
I do look foward to the next book and I know the anticipation is there for a reason but I did feel like having a rant and even a rave...!

[Lix]

its the first day back at uni and im too sick to go

[Dameon]

Glynnavyre and Elixa, your grievances are both much more valid than mine!!!

Then again, irrational moaning is what rants are all about!

KSL

[Glynnavyre]

I love your ranting Kayt!! You lead such an interesting life... It's better then what I do which is spend A LOT of time at home... especially early in the week cause I work mostly weekends...
Please Kayt... Rant on i say!

[Dameon]

I just got an angry email becasue I said I can't go to my friends' 19th.
It's nothign personal. It's not that I don't like her, or that I wish to slight her.
But she's going clubbing and I simply can't handle that.
I wasn't the only one berated for my lack of attendance and if anyone asks me about it, I will simply tell them that I didn't reply, because I felt what she did and said was immature and unworthy of an equally childish response (which is what I would have sent her), and that I ignored it. Except I DIDN'T ignore it.
No! Thanks to being berated for my agoraphobia and inability to go out because of anxiety attacks, I am now in the throes of ANOTHER attack, thus proving why I'm too sick to go out in the first place!
Thanks. Thanks a lot.
She's mad at me for being inconsiderate. What about her behaviour? She knows perfectly well that I have a fear of going out, which gets worse at night. I explained to her when she invited me that I'm simply unable to bring myself to go to a club. And I'm not the only anxious friend who got reprimanded. She was responding to a very apologetic email from my best friend (also agoraphobic), and all she replied with was abuse/
I meant her no offence, but she failed to return that good will. I was deeply and genuinely sorry when I apologised that I couldn't make it.
Sadly, she was not consulted when whatever JERK powers that be decided to make me too terrified to engage in ordinary teenage behaviour.
WELL, I WASN'T CONSULTED EITHER, SO LET'S TAKE A BRIEF MOMENT TO EXAMINE WHO IS MORE DEEPLY AFFECTED, SHALL WE?
I didn't ASK to be mentally ill. I didn't call out "Hey you! Handing out the personalities! Can I be phobic about being attacked by strangers? Because that would be real cool!"
I would LIKE to be able to go out clubbing or drinking with everyone else. I'd like to be able to walk to the shops by myself, like normal people do. As if I wouldn't appreciate being able to go into town without wondering which of the other bus passengers is carrying a gun.
But I can't.
I cna't enjoy a holiday, because I panic and want to go home. I can't meet any at Uni, because I can't bear to be there unless I'm safe in a lecture theatre, tutorial or computer room. I can't go to a public library without feeling like I'll cry. I can't walk down the street witout fear of being attacked or murderered!
But I better change because someone else feels inconvenienced!
I'M SO SICK OF BEING SCARED OF EVERYTHING!!! I'M TIRED OF BEING SICK ALL THE TIME!!! I'M TIRED OF NOT FEELING ANYTHING EXCEPT FEAR, GUILT AND HATE!!! I WISH I COULD BE ANGRY RIGHT NOW, BUT I CAN'T, AND ALL I CAN FEEL IS FRIGHTENED AND GUILTY, LIKE I'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG AND I HAVEN'T AND I'M JUST TIRED OF IT. I'M TIRED OF BEING PATRONISED, AND TREATED LIKE A CHILD OR A FREAK! JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS, DOES NOT MAKE ME A TOTAL FREAK! LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE AS SICK AS ME, SOME ARE WORSE SO HOW ABOUT EVERYONE JUST GETTING OFF MY BACK AND LEAVING ME ALONE AND NOT MAKING HARMFUL AND INSULTING REMARKS ABOUT MY ILLNESS!!!

I'm sorry. I just really needed to get that off my chest. I feel much better now. Thankyou for letting me have that time. And thankyou for being among the only people who never berate me or treat me differently for being sick.

[Elspethseeker]

OMG kayt your friend was horrid!*hugs kayt* it will be alright. someday maybe they will have something to help you get over that fear entirely. I am soo sorry. Your friends was very inconsiderate!.*drink som choca maybe that will help a little*gives her a cup*

[Glynnavyre]

Rant on, oh lady Kayt... Rant on...

[Rilla]

I need to rant.
So here i go...
I'm really really annoyed with this girl at school right now. At the start of the year, she was the only one i new, so we sort of clung to each other, but now she is more interested in these other girls, and she doesn't have time for me anymore. I'm happy she can make new friends, and they are my friends as well, but does she have to act like i'm not there at all? The only thing she said to me all day today was "We're in room 39" and that was only coz i asked her. Can't she at least tell me where i can find her during recess instead of being left alone like a social outcaste? I feel like screaming and bursting into tears at the same time.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!
Ok thats the screaming part taken care of...

Oh, Kayt, I've found a really good thing for acne is Rose Hip Oil. I had really bad acne, and now its nearly gone.
And your friend is a git.

[Miska]

OMG! rilla! kayt! *BIG HUGE HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!* thats so awful!!!! *sends frypans out to get them* u poor things! and i was just goin to have a rant bout lix's battegames game for the moonfair! IM OVER WRITIN IT UP! *sigh* but i only have 4 to go!!! argh!!!!!!!!!

[Lauren Hedgehog]

*hugs for Kayt and Rilla*

i'm also in need of a good rant. i'm tired and i'm grumpy and public transport stinks and is slow and aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
i'm just tired. and all because some stupid lecturer convinced me to do five subjects this semester just so i could do her 'special' course. now i have 30 HOURS of in CLASS work each week plus because of the public transport system i spend in excess of 3 hours traveling to and from uni each day. And something that didn't sink in when i was deciding is that if i have more contact hours than i'm going to have a lot more bloody work to do at home aswell, aren't I. i just feel so overwhelmed with work and i've only just finished the first week

although now that my rant is over the extra course is the funnist of the lot and i love the university life. i have so much more freedom (even if i have no time in which to enjoy it) and i have great fun with some of the clubs.

isnt it jsut he best! but always the case - make room for enjoyment! lectures come second! (but NO ONE heard me say that ok!)

[Duria]

ok, i've been saving this one, it's been brewing up for two days, it's gonna blow:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

my friend is in a church youth group, she's not at all religious but anyway, i odn't really think it's any of my business.
now she invited me to a concert by a band (whose tour is paid for by the church), ok, i've seen enough of these things go bad to be wary, but we were promised that they weren't trying to sell our souls to god (interesting thought though)

so there we are jumping around, losing shoes, getting sprayed with water from a strange person's mouth and the music's ok. (mostly ripping off pop punk) the type of 'rock' you'd find on triple m or something (i'm a j girl, that makes me a music snob) suddenly stupid, stupid, chirtian rap guy tells us to sit down and shut up.
he spends at least quater of an hour making sure everyone's sitting down (on the shoes and water bottles and people) and not talking at all.

THEN he talks for at least half an hour about what a sad life he's ahd and why jesus is his friend and how freaking hard it is to have you parents split up.

i'm sorry, but when i'm sitting on at least three legs that aren't my own, bracing myself against the stage so i don't fall on top of my friend, soaked with sweat and water, wit blistered feet and tense calf muscles and had some strange guy keep 'accidentally falling' on top of me in an effort to grab my arse, i don't want your bible reading.

don't get me wrong, i have nothign against any church. if they want to believe something FINE believe.
but that's their truth, not mine.
and when i pay in an effort to support an unknown band (as we all should) WHY THE HELL ARE THEY LECTURING ME ABOUT THEIR GOD!!!!!!

i don't want their god to save me, i'd prefer to have a red hot try at saving myself first.

so before you try to tell your audience what's right, think about their truth firsts.

and for future reference PLEASE realise that the pit isn't a place for a deep an meaningful.

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

p.s. i'm sorry it you're religious and upset that i'm bagging out your thing. i DON'T think i'm any better then you, but i sure hope i'm not any worse.

[Elspethseeker]

Duria i know what you mean same thing happened to me except les extreme and we had couches fun but a little boring. Many ppl were there and all believed in god. what is the point if they are all believers the part that sucks is not the speach they are interesting but the rest sucks.

Rilla I had the same situation sort of happen to me when i tranfered groups. the last group were backstabbing me and all kinds of cr**. so I went to another group my friend came over after awhile we were on rocks not really speaking and stuff. when I approhed her it smoothed out. try it. it may help.

[Duria]

elfseeker head shrinker.

has a ring to it don't it?

thank you for your sympathy mistress
