Something bothering you?

[Takumaru]

I'm still single. /vent

Ok, my actual vent is about college. I'm thinking about transferring to another school. The current school I'm at doesn't have the exact program I'm looking for but I could make it work here. However, I could go to a different school and do exactly what I want to do. I also have money to think about; I get full tuition covered at my current school (that's 27k/yr) but I still pay around 15k/yr which is all being covered by loans. If I went back home to a state school I could be paying 5k or less per year. But I still have the friends I've made here to think about. I feel like I'd just be dropping them and leaving them behind. If I transfer out of philly, chances are I won't ever come back. I'm so torn and confused right now. I really want to be closer to home for school but I keep getting requests from friends I've made here to be their roommate next year. Bah. This sucks.

I'm a girl you ******.

I really like how you assume everyone to know exactly who and what gender you are based off of a screen name and the content of your posts.

With that being said, I really hate assumptions (See: bias). It seems like it's been an on-going issue in my life right now. People experience this every day, I have experienced it here at SWF and among other places. People seem to automatically assume the worst about someone if they either question authority (YOU SMOKE WEED? YOU MUST BE A TERRIBLE PERSON or 1800s style: YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH A BLACK GUY? BLASPHEMER!) or if they appear to fall into a category that they don't agree with... when in fact, they aren't in that category at all.

Here I am, trying to support a friend of mine and he lashes out at myself and his other friends for ridiculous reasons... when we are in fact in full support of him, his achievements and future endeavors. In summary, drama is overrated and I'm sick of it. Just chill the **** out people, stop freaking out and jumping to conclusions when you really don't have all the right information!

Or the Las Pictoras posts for the last 8 years. Maybe that.
oh, and nevermind the forum awards last year.

It's kind of common knowledge for anyone that's been in the PRoom longer than a few months, and considering this guy is bold enough to say that I'm stalking him for infractions and mentioned me in the last like 6 posts of his, I'd assume he would at least know something about me from paying so much attention to the situation.

 

[Omis]

Well, if you liked the persuit, now there's other dates to ask her out on and more!

The problem is that we are both at the age in which you are almost completely dependant on parents for rides.

 

[Azua]

As long as the parents don't like, sit in on your dates, I don't see a problem.

 

[Omis]

Getting to the dates is the problem. My parents are usually pretty cool about not snooping.

 

[Azua]

Can't you ask 'em for a ride?

I have to drop my major. I'm too dumb to do computer science. I've been aiming for this degree for three years, so all that time and money is completely wasted. There are zero benefits to this situation. I've failed my family and myself. I have no options left. I can't start all over. I'll starve to death without a degree. Nobody will hire me. The small cluster**** of a life I had before has left me. I have nothing. I am nothing. I no longer have any redeeming qualities whatsoever and as such I cannot justify my existence. I'm tired of running 100 mph in a circle.

 

[MBreeto]

ok. I watched Tropic Thunder, and I thought it was funny, except for Tom Cruise dancing at the end. If there is a hell, it would be an endless loop of that awkward, stupid ****ing scene and I would have to watch it for eternity as I cringe so hard, I paralyze myself. Seriously, my roommate thought it was funny. NO! IT ****ING ISNT. IT WILL NEVER BE. DONT ****ING LAUGH AT THAT SCENE. You are a tool if you liked it. ok. I'm done for now.

 

[Azua]

The tom cruise dancing scene is a nice peek inside of his mind.

Take that as you will =p

That freaking blows. Though, honestly, you have to keep your head up. Setbacks are awful, and that's a big one, but you have to get past it. I know I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know, but I didn't want your post to go totally ignored.

I liken your situation to something my sister went through. She originally went for a teaching degree in college, before she started substitute teaching and realized she hated kids. Because of that, she basically had to start over. She transferred around a bit (resulting in lots of now totally worthless credits) and didn't graduate until she was 25 or 26.

Now, she's not living the high life, but she has a job at a design firm making perfectly decent money. It just took her longer to get there than it would've if she hadn't been walking in the wrong direction for so long.

You'll be alright. You just have to grit your teeth and bare it. This is doable.

 

[Coach John McGuirk]

Alright ladies, I'm sick of you playing hard to get, and making me spend money on you for a meal just to tell me you were just being nice. You know what's nice? Not spending my money for nothing. Next time, just say "even though I know that i can milk you for four or five dates' worth of dinners while smiling politely, i'm just too kind to spend your hard earned money." It's not that hard. For the same cash i spend on you, i can go to wendy's and see an adult flick and still have change to spare. See how there's no dissapointment there?

Stop letting them milk you then. That's what I did.
A lot less girls stopped talking to me, but they obviously weren't my friends from the beginning. Now I actually feel a lot better when I do spend money on my friends since I know they are sincere.

 

[mzink*]

I haven't gotten to talk to my bff in a while because her computer is busted and I'm overseas right now and can't call. I'm used to talking to her every day, we are really close and we always brighten things up for each other. Its not really a huge issue, but it has me a little down, I miss chatting with her. I hope her computer gets fixed soon.

 

[Skrah]

Well.. Lately I have been having lots of problems with my dad, and I think that I know where all these fights come from. But before I can tell you, I need to explain you my situation.

My parents are divorced. I lived with my mum for 13 years, until my dad asked me to live with him. I was very happy because me and my mum always fought and I just needed a break. So all was fine and smooth until she came.

My dad had had another wife after my mum, and as is natural, me and my sis hated her. She had issues. She always made my dad buy her kids stuff, and her son, who was bigger than me, always bullied me. After a while I got tired and punched the f*ck out of him. After that my dad and her wife fought more than usual, until they divorced. At first my dad said that it was my fault and that I ruined everything, and I was very hurt.

So when this one comes along, I decide to play it cool, since my dad's happiness is a priority in my life. I just care too much about him. Well then, all was fine, he went out with her, I met her, she looked like a cool woman, me and my sis went with my dad to dinner or something. Only thing that troubled me was the age difference. 20 years. My dad is 53 and she is 31. That was kinda fishy, but I just convinced myself that my dad was very lucky indeed.

That is, until she moved in with us. I was slightly annoyed. I mean, with a girl in the house, I couldn't do some stuff anymore. But w/e, I didn't really care. As long as she stayed out of my way. Of course she didn't.

Lately she's been very clingy, much like if she were my mother, and that píssed me off, cause she is NOT my mum. So that's when my "hate" started. Not much, simply I would ignore her when she told me to do stuff, nothing too bad. But then she started the "nesting".

She started asking my dad to buy her stuff, and even then I didn't notice anything wierd. When we went to vacations this new years eve, she would just whine and whine and whine about everything. And she didn't even pay a thing! My dad bought her the lift ticket for the whole week, and rented her skiis, and she didn't go ONE day. She acted like a b*tch and was nothing but a niusance.

We got back, and she tried to become my mother even harder. Then my dad gave her his brand new truck, and when I told him to give me her car, he said that he had to finish paying her for it! Then I overheard her telling my dad about a property that she wanted HIM to buy so she can have an investment. I mean what the f*ck! That's when I knew she that she was nothing more than a gold digger.

So I completely neglected her, was kind of mean to her, and my dad got mad, and kicked me out of the house, cause since he travels to work, I said that she wasn't my mum and that she just wanted to "care" for me cause she wanted to look good and caring, and that I'd rather be with my mum, so he said that I should start packing.

I'm sorry for the extremely long post, but this is driving me insane.

Protip: women aren't prostitutes.

Really? John Lajoie begs to differ

Rather inappropriate language, btw.

 

[Coach John McGuirk]

Protip: women aren't prostitutes.

I don't see the difference. I'm basically cutting out the middle man. Instead of giving them the money straight, i'm just spending it on the food (or even better food) than they would on themselves. In a way, dinner dates are more expensive than prostitues. At least one of these ways, I'll actually benefit. The real world is a rough place.

You will learn sooner or later my friend

 

[Martel Hammer]

Women are human beings. Human beings are unique. Somewhere out there is someone just for you. Yes, that is cliched, but it MIGHT be true.

 

[1048576]

I'll never be happy. What should I do?

Look, i'm not trying to butt heads with you, but practically everything not man-made on the planet is unique. Go fluff someone else's pillow.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

The fact that I feel like crap all the time. Aaah, it's so annoying.

But I surprised myself by sitting here trying to find something that's bothering me at the moment, and finding out that, strangely, nothing is.

 

[Circus]

Smile more.

And if that doesn't work (it will though), come to terms with the fact that your life is not monumental, and that what society has lead you to believe is success is really nothing but security. There's no right way to do this ****. We're all just going. Some of us have decided to do what all of our teachers and parents have told us we should do in order to acquire a mediocre job pushing paper and punching computer keys, and some of us are just winging it.

I know this tends to have the opposite effect on a lot of other people, but for me, thinking about the fact that my life doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things really puts me at ease. I feel safe in the knowledge that if I am "less successful" than other people in the world, they'll still die and be forgotten just as I will. This is all just a ****ing ride, so throw your hands up.

Jesus, I'm such a blow hard.

 

[1048576]

I take comfort in the fact that I can end my life whenever I want.

My unhappiness is hedonistic, not existential. I haen't slept in 48 hours and I have like three projects due by Friday. I haven't gotten an "A" in anything in months, literally. I'm crashing and burning and it sucks because I really love computer science. I want to sit in a cubicle beng micromanaged by a nitwit. That would be wonderful, but now I know I'll never get there.

And this is why they use you.

 

[Circus]

Oh, well that's a different matter. Though it still felt good to ramble about all that. Hope someone thought it was deep and insightful.

Lack of sleep compounded on top of stress and overexertion makes for one wicked depression cocktail. But if you really love this stuff, then don't let this rough patch stop you. We all go through peaks and troughs. You seem plenty smart to me, and if you have the passion, you're golden. Things just always seem impossible when you're looking at them from rock bottom.

EDIT: This is all at Numbers. Azua made me miss.

Stop trolling, Mars-. In fact, explain why you are trolling on an alt account before I ban it and give you points for flaming on your original account. That's not acceptable here, and if you don't respond, I'll assume guilt.

First you should fix your sleep habits! Then clean your room and make sure everything is tidy and organized in your life. Then smile more. Then work hard, and keep regular sleep habits!

Haha, i'm not intentionally trolling, just wasting time on the only forum on the boards that i thought i could without penalty. MY mistake.

 

[Tom]

Yes, your mistake. >:C Alternate accounts are not allowed unless you've got some kind of extenuating circumstance and the admins say its alright. Also, your demeaning attitude towards women cannot be taken seriously, and you typed it yourself, so I'm pretty sure you're trolling. Pool Room is for general discussion, but that doesn't mean you get to break the rules. Also, signature infraction!

also, Home Movies rules.

I think you just need to take a break. Nothing wrong with that right? It'll probably do you some good =D

Never let your friends attempt to "help" you in relationships. They will always mess up everything.

 

[Moy]

Talking to a cute chick who has many friends that she's always talking to.

In a high school with over 3,500 students.

That's my problem.

 

[SkylerOcon]

Alright. I run hurdles for track and the first meet is next weekend. My leg has always been a bit bad ever since two years ago where I completely destroyed the muscle and had a limp for three months while it was still fixing itself. It hasn't bothered me for a while until a few weeks ago! Now, I may not be able to run in the meet and I really wanted too... I'm the only Freshman hurdler so the rest of the team was counting on me for points. I know I shouldn't feel like I am... but I do feel like I'm letting everybody down.

This sounds a lot like me recently. Although... to be honest, I bring it on myself with lack of motivation and procrastination.

I fail at time-management.
