Things that piss you off

PARADISE FUCKING LOST

I have Paradise Lost to read.

For fun

I've tried reading it a couple of times for amusement myself. I blame Neil Gaiman.

Work is pissing me off and wearing me out. =/

Also, read the World War Z page on TVTropes. *shudder* *whimper*

Me too.

I didn't have a lot of friends growing up.

 

[Max Payne]

still have nowhere to live, still have no money, still putting up with Dad's bullshit, and I can't draw because there's no room or convergence to do it comfortably.

Don't have my tablet stylus either.

We get an inch of snow for about a week :[

Last year during Christmas holidays we were in Vancouver to fly to Hawaii, right when you guys got that huge dump of snow. Our flight was canceled. I mean, of all the places to get snowed in, that was the last place I expected it. And of course there's only like one snowplow in all of Vancouver, so driving anywhere required a death wish because none of you seem to know how to drive properly in the snow. XD

Oh and you should all move to Winnipeg, clearly.

...

Actually, no, you really probably shouldn't. Unlike you like getting stabbed, lots of mosquitoes, and living in the coldest city in the entire world.

Though we are the Slurpee capital of the world 11 years running. Woo!

 

[Joker]

...I wouldn't mind living in the coldest city in the world.

...but the stabbing raises and eyebrow.

 

[looneymoon]

Vancouver is pretty pathetic with dealing with snow. As soon as there is more than an inch everyone is like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WHAT DO WE DO.

It makes me think it kinda fails as a Canadian city. *cough*thehockeyteamsuckstoo*cough*

...but it's still decently awesome

Yeah, dubious distinction of murder capital of Canada several years running. And do you love the cold or love snow? Because we don't actually get a whole lot of precipitation here.

I actually really like Vancouver - my aunt and uncle live out there so I'm usually there once a year at least. I can't remember the name, but that big park you have (there's an aquarium there, and it's full of ginormous redwoods) is absolutely gorgeous. And there's this awesome harbour market we always visit when we go, where you find what are quite possibly the best baked goods I've ever had.

Don't worry about the Canucks. At least there will always be the Leafs to make them look good. And at least you have an NHL team. /wrists

@thread: Dell customer support. *has been transferred five times*

 

[Joker]

I like the cold, PERIOD. =D

 

[Dana Scully]

In that case, if you could survive the summers (30-40oC for 2-3 months) you'd love it here - or anywhere in Alberta/Saskatchewan/Manitoba, really.

 

[Joker]

40 Celsius?

Shiiit, that's weaker than the Texas summer 8D

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

I WANT CHILL SUMMERS AND CHILL WINTERS WHERE DO I GO

 

[Madame Mayor]

Hey, hey what's all this then? Living close to Toronto means I must love the Leafs and hate everyone who doesn't even though I don't watch hockey.

 

[Winter]

quit fucking riding my ass about not being in college

[looneymoon]

I WANT CHILL SUMMERS AND CHILL WINTERS WHERE DO I GO

CELADON CITY

...I mean, Vancouver. I mean, it rains quite a bit but the climate is pretty moderate. Gets cold in the winter and kinda warm for 2-3 months in the summer.

Also i don't really give a shit about hockey and even I know the Canucks suck. I admit that Luongo is pretty sexy though. HOWEVER my liking for him is purely shallow and has nothing to do with any sort of hockey fanaticism

 

[Bex]

Of all the days to not get any sleep and freeze my tits off in this shithole house, it would have to be the day i need to get up at 7.
Fuck you, stupid bed and equally stupid cold.

 

[Joker]

Got no time with Penelope ;.;

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Hey dudes, how you guys been? (It's not like I DIED, folks, lol)

You know what pisses me off? Or rather what has been pissing me off lately?

Getting close to someone that constantly uses humor as a defense mechanism. Or whatever it is.

Yeah so basically, long story short, I've started talking to an ex (not that one) from a long time ago again. We get along well, but the problem is basically is that she uses humor as a shield for EVERYTHING. Literally every conversation she wants to have is something that's funny or something. Great, yeah, I like laughing too, I can make her laugh, she's funny, yadda yadda, but after a while it does get tiring and I'd like to actually talk to her, about well, anything, really.

The ratio of 'something funny' conversations we have to 'something/ANYTHING not funny' is like, a million to one, and she has the nerve to say that I'm 'awkward' when we hang out because I'm unable to actually maintain being funny for several hours straight (I literally do not really know how to initiate regular conversation with this person anymore). It was the first time in forever that we hung out and I was so used to the 'JOKE ABOUT LITERALLY EVERYTHING' girl that the 'ACTUAL PERSON GIRL (who still fucking joked most of the time)' knocked me off guard and I pretty much acted awkward turtle the entire time.

I've known this girl a real long time (we haven't spoken for a really long time, years though, until very recently), we have a history, and we know each other pretty well, and well, I kinda want to be able to be able to actually make decent fucking conversation once in a while. She's not stupid, she's not vapid, and she's very intelligent, so I know that it's there.

I'm willing to put in some work towards this, because I'm curious to see where it goes.

Well there are probably a few outcomes here, which is mainly either eventually you can overcome that defensiveness and get her to talk honestly and seriously, or everything gets exasperating and she continues to either be an obscure brick wall in which case she doesn't know what she missed out on.

Unless you are the god of patience in which case the cycle of humour and exasperatedness perpetuates.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Yeah well, I mean...

I guess my whole frustration is how to get her to let her guard down so she wouldn't use humor as an avoidance to however she's feeling. I am willing to bank (and it has been pointed out by other people, for what its worth) that she is still into me. I won't lie about my attraction to her either. However for a number of reasons I can surmise she uses humor to avoid whatever she wants to say or however she wants to feel. Which with me, is a lot of the time.

Worst case scenario nothing ever happens and we move on. Plenty of fish in the sea. But as for now I'm not one to let an opportunity slip past me so if this situation is solvable I'd like to give it a try.

Being mistaken for a boy.
Second time this week.
FUCK

Also I'd like to elaborate here that well, it's not my JOB to break down someone's emotional fortress, so I don't plan on being exasperated for only so long. However I do figure it's about time for me to calm down the humor from my end and see how she responds.

 

[Vossler]

My phone getting lost. Shit I payed 180$ for that thing.

 

[Alex Strife]

The fact that my mother will be having surgery on friday, meaning she's probably going to have cancer AGAIN (she had cancer 5 years ago), and the fact my father lost his job today.

I will pass on explaining what these two things mean together because I imagine people here are smart enough to find out.

 

[Dana Scully]

Fixt.

Coworkers passing off the shitty jobs they don't want to do to me just because I'm the newest person here.

 

[Joker]

^ dis here

Also, being so frustrated that I actually give up.
