Topic: Anger management thread

I don't have a system to play TFU; and all my friends brag on how awesome Vader is in it. And decapitation with Force Lightning. :( :( :(

Oh no, that really sucks MH :( You will have to play it at your friends houses.

I was not happy that it was not released on the PC though :(

Probably just as well; you'd have to have a friggin PC from NASA or somethin to handle it properly.... or at the very least a much newer/better PC then I've got

The force unleashed arrived today, a big yay you would think. It would have been a huge yay if it had worked. I put the disc in the Wii and nothing happened :(

Thankfully they are going to send out a replacement that will arrive tomorrow. I was really looking forward to playing that though.

I still would have liked for it to have come out on the PC though.

Wish I could focus on games right now...

You will again Terra (hugs)

Idea! (nvm about that)

Games kept me sane through many years now. I don't know how crazy i would be if I didn't have any. 

I hate having limitations on how much I can physically accomplish. I don't have the energy to go do my photo homework.

yep, i hate LA for not releasing TFU on PC either.

I hate the fact that I don't own it yet......but my time will come

I no longer want to play TFU because my friend told me how it ends...I don't like it. Shakk Ti has a weird death too...

While I am really, really enjoying playing The force unleashed I am really annoyed by how the game saves. You can save it at any point but if you leave the game it will take you back to the start of the level. This is not good for me as I do not always have the time to complete a level. LOL at this rate it will take me an age to finish the game.

I also still get not get past one bit in Knights of the old Republic due to one bit not loading up :(

I was once climbing my way up the social ladder with ease, but now, I'm trying to grab hold of the bottom rung because of some Dumm Esel (Translate that from German to English if you don't know) Who apparently hates me. For no reason. The people who I once thought were friends and held the highest respect for now hate me and are trying to get me to leave the school. I only have about three friends now who don't believe in the rumors spread by the person and don't hate me.

That sucks. What were the rumors?

Someone in my study hall broke a calculator, se we can't talk in there at all for the rest of the year.

I'm not really sure. I know that he started it though...someone that now hates did mention the dude told it to him. And Draco, that sucks about Study Hall. My school doesn't have it. We hav a period where we can roam the halls and study if we want.

Sorry MH. I feel your pain. sorry vod. Since they already have made up their minds about you, confuse them by using some nice clever insults in Mando'a. You can then feel better about yourself.

I can't prove it, but I was having trouble with this jerk on DeviantArt (which has loads of other problems I don't want to get into) who told people bad things about me, so I can feel your pain. I can't prove it and he is banned now, but I know that during the height of this mess, he posted a journal saying about how I'm a horrible person (but not WHY I'm a horrible person, of course), and all his friends automatically belived him. And the next thing I knew, almost no one was visiting my page. So its not hard to imagine how your situation worked out. But, if they're going to stop being your friend because of some rumours they automatically belive, then they're not very good friends.

Anyways, one thing I'm really mad about at the moment is the sudden appearence of CHRISTMAS ITEMS!!!! It's not even October yet, but I'm already seeing candy canes, chocolate santas, candles that smell like pine.... And I know I'm going to be seeing even more things appear within a few weeks. Especially late October. You know that last year, on the VERY first day of November, there were already Christmas songs on the radio?!?! And thats not all. The night before (Halloween), they were ALREADY pushing the early Christmas sales! >_<

YES I HATE THAT TOO!

I hate they start pushing the di'kutla holidays down our throat! Shabs vode let us enjoy the time we have, not rushing to the next contrived form of capitalist osik.

I'm not even someone who hates Christmas. I really like the cheery holiday time of year thing in December (provided it doesn't involve me in stores getting shoved around as I try to find a gift for my folks), but when its October and even September, I really just hate it. I even hate it when its early November. Its just...no. Just no. Not until I've watched parades and had a crapload of turkey, do I find it acceptible for them to start this.

And yet the very next day after Christmas, almost everyone puts their stuff away and throws out their trees when people have time off and thus, its the time to enjoy them the most. What ever happened to the 12 Days of Christmas?

Im a believer in that too Cecilia.... Christmas season starts and can only start the day AFTER thanksgiving ( probably my favorite holiday). Christmas decorations can then go up. And they should stay up until New Years Day. Thats when you throw out the tree and take the lights down and go back to normal life.

I agree with you two, it's just insane how early they start marketing holidays.  I work in a grocery store right now, and they had Halloween decorations up over 2 weeks ago, and i though THAT was early.......  so trying to cash in on Christmas NOW is just insane.

My husband is a huge Christmas Freak and when the grocery store I work at got mini Christmas trees in on Wednesday he was super excited. He loves Christmas a lot and keeps some decorations up year round and our plates and cups are christmasy and etc. He would have it be christmas year-round if he could.

Now, I like Christmas, just not a lot. I used to hate it actually, before I met my husband. The store I work at is one of the 3 busiest stores in the entire company. (and seeing as that company is one of the country's biggest chains, that's saying something! We're owned by Kroger) Yet it's also one of the smallest and one of the most highy understaffed and we have a boss from hell. So I usually spend the week before any holiday piling on the stress and then the day of and the day before the holiday I usually spend it rushing to the back so customers can't see me crying. It's just that bad. And then the music that plays at work, around Christmastime all the songs repeat at least four times a day. Tell me that wouldn't make you hate christmas music.

And then my husband made me happy about Christmas once more, I mean I still do hate some parts of it such as the repetitive music. And, though I won't tell him so, I, too, hate it that stuff comes out so early. It's September. We have an entire section of Christmas stuff in next week's add at my store. And at the same time we're still trying to sell a patio set or two that's left over from summer. It's bad to have this stuff up so early because you can not enjoy it. After three months of looking at the same christmas stuff it gets old! And then when Christmas does get here it's like, "Eh, oh, it's here, um, yay. Let's put this stuff away now, finally." And having the candy up so early isn't such a good idea too. For Halloween you buy the candy to give to kids on Halloween so why would you buy it in August? For Christmas I guess I can see having a party or two and needing candy in late November or early December. But no one's throwing a Christmas party in September. Except maybe my husband, but meh. I don't understand it, maybe he just had really great christmases as a kid or something and now christmas makes him think of a time of innocence before he had to stop being a kid and was thrown into a hellish life. (he had a rough start, but now he's doing good)

I know I rambled on way too much here. When I said I should stop posting right after I wake up I really should stick to it! I'm not fully awake here, so sorry. I know I didn't really complain about much, I more talked randomly about stuff.

We just get to complain about life? Hell yes.

I go to a military college (enlistment was my choice, college was my parents', so we kinda compromised) so you can argue that I knew what I was getting myself into and may not have a right to harp about all this. In this college I cannot refer to myself as I, my friends as they, or ourselves as we. We are now "this recruit" or "these recruits" or "that recruit's M14". We cannot talk outside or across halls or in the mess hall. When sitting we must be upright on the front six inches of our chairs. I wake up at 0430 every morning for physical training, which sucks because I absolutely hate mornings. We have to stare straight ahead whenever not in our rooms or an academic building, they call it being "locked on". We have to greet officers whenever we pass them, but we can't move our heads or eyes to look at their rank so it SUCKS when we pass one without greeting and get reamed out to no end.

Everywhere we walk has to be in the gutter, roads are a privilege. We can only move in straight lines, turning only at 90 degree angles, it's called "squaring", and it sucks and takes forever to get anywhere. Despite that little tidbit, God forbid you show up at any time other than five minutes early to anything. We cannot use facebook, myspace, skype, AIM, or any instant messaging system. Cell phones are prohibited, but we are allowed a single ten-minute phone call home each week. We cannot nap during the day in our rooms, and they have to be pristine each morning for inspection which is ridiculous because they'll just conjure dust out of nowhere to yell at us about even if we dusted that desk like literally two minutes before they came in. There is a rule about this place they've never mentioned but one I've created and believe is, for the most part, true: Recruits can do nothing right.

I don't usually like complaining, but I have to admit that felt good.

do what i do during study hall, go to the library or another place.

They start putting the Chrismas items out so early, but they don't put  out the eggnog untill a week before.

That really sucks Scifi, but I'm sure in the end it's worth it.

Damn SciFi, I got a taste of what you're going through, but I couldn't imagine having to go through that for years *you're in college, so I assume you're going to be stuck there for at LEAST two years, probably more right?*

You're absolutely right with your rule, Recruits CAN'T do anything right.  Not really a bad thing, it's just a pain in the butt.  Take some time to stand back and look at your situation and remember that all the people who are messing with you had to go through the exact same thing if not worse, and that they're 1#. giving you your right of passage *face it, nobody's special, and if you want to earn the rank and titles they have you gotta just suck it up*  and 2#. They're teaching you valuable lessons that anyone in your profession will Need: precision, attention to detail, and a tolerance to stress.

And of course what i had to keep reminding myself:  'If I can't handle this, which is really nothing but annoying, how am I going to deal with combat where I have friends and people I'm responsible for dieing around me?'

Not ripping you in the least for feeling the need to let off some steam, far from that man.  Just reminding you of the bigger picture     :)

I'm sure you do fine ner vod.  Good luck with classes, and hope this helped in some way     :)

Enlistment might not have been the answer. You might have tried ROTC or something so you can be an officer. I'm sorry to hear about your mornings, I'm basically the same. You should maybe try to get to know your officers so that when passing them you could recognize them. That's what I do. I'm sorry to hear of your predicament. Good luck with college.

mmmm, premature halloween candy isle :P

Grrrrr Devil Boy ordered a £700 laptop on my credit card without telling me. Thankfully it is sat still in its wrapping ready to be returned for a refund.

"And then the music that plays at work, around Christmastime all the songs repeat at least four times a day. Tell me that wouldn't make you hate christmas music."

I already do. Except for some songs, Christmas has the WROST songs. Really bad. Like, "what were they THINKING when they wrote this?!" bad. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer bad (by the way, how in the world did a song THAT bad be made into a half hour special? o_O).

" I work in a grocery store right now, and they had Halloween decorations up over 2 weeks ago, and i though THAT was early.......  so trying to cash in on Christmas NOW is just insane."

At least thats the equivilant of the Christmas stuff start to appear in mid November as a pre-Thanksgiving build up. I can deal with that better then seeing the first corner of the store dedicated to Christmas. And the Halloween stuff isn't full blown out yet! And I really like Halloween too. Candy like Easter, but more of it, and its more interisting to get it. Easter would be the worlds boringest holiday if it wasn't for the candy. Plus you get to dress up, and not in fancy clothes like Easter.

"Someone in my study hall broke a calculator, se we can't talk in there at all for the rest of the year."

You think thats bad? Some idiot at my old high school got mad and threw a chair through a window. The librarys solution was to close the library during lunch for almost 2 months (which was just about the entire rest of the year). The next year, it was almost never opened during lunch. Which was stupid because in the past, they only closed it on Wednesdays due to teacher meetings in there after school (which I never even understood THAT). So their solution was, rather then make sure people didn't throw temper tantrums, was to just not deal with any potential problem at all. Which made checking out/returning books a MAJOR pain. Not to mention the guy librarian was sexist (but thats a story for another day).

I hate it when stores push any time of year 6 months before it is even here. Like RIGHT after I got out of school in the summer. A week after school ended for me they were already pushing back to school supplies! I hate it! They rush every season and if you don't buy it then when they FIRST put it out, when that time of year then comes out, there is nothing left to buy cause they  have moved onto the next holiday or whatever.

Actually, I'm a dairy manager, and I ordered in our first egg nog for Thursday. I've already sold over a case. Two other stores had their egg nog in on Tuesday. And it's not just the Pumpkin Spice, it's the regular too.

This used to very much annoy me when I was at school but now I have younglings I understand. They are not advertising to annoy but for the parents who need to get the stuff in ready.

I do not like early Christmas advertising. There is too much pressure for one day of the year.

I need a damn job.

Yeah i get that! ( I just need MONEY!)

I hate the state of NJ and all the red tape and money it takes to sorta survive here.

I hate college too. I learned that I am too old to be on campus any longer, AND that they don't know their butts from their hands. Took nearly 3 hours today to get a few pieces of the puzzle that is me trying to get registered and maybe graduate this century.

I hope your situation gets sorted out soon.

No job -yet-, also, there's a little mistake in the first resumes I sent, so, 50 companies have typos about me; table-top might stop coz we're not enough ppl; and I'm starting the fun part of the month. Today (thursday) really sucked, lol.
:P

And friday's not a dream either. My new crush (rl) just took the way to the trash. Not my week
:P

THOSE SUNSOF BETCHES! dang I need to friggan throw somethin...... GOD DANG YOU GOODGAME YOU BALD PEICE OF CRAP!!!!!!!

lol u mad?

I think he is, lol. Glad that he yells it here instead of ripping someone's guts off. Would be ... bad, I think. :P

I am cooled down now, thank God. I really needed to get that out of my system.

Yeah, just normal. Sucks that you had to quit that. Now what will you do?

I'm sorry, but what is BOE? (I know nothing about sports)

Board of Education? Just guessing. Might not be that at all.

Oh. I was homeschooled so I don't know a lot about how regular schools work.

Don't know much about american schools either, our system up here is different.

How is it when you are homeschooled? Do you still have to do it early in the morning? Get the same kind of strict schedule and all that? I've always wondered what you learn when it is not in a public school. There's much less wasted time I bet, since the teacher doesn't have to waste time on classroom clowns and the likes.

yeah board of education is most likely what karson meant, probably budget cuts or something.

the eternal dull part of things

Yes Goodgame was cut because he was the last hired and he wasn't that good a teacher...BOE Board of Education....bullshit really

That sucks man, are there any other sports teams you could join? (Assuming you still wanna play something else that is)

nope

Karson, are there any other kids in your area who wouldn't mind an in-formal game? I know I've played 6-person baseball before.

Terra, We'd do our school books after breakfast usually sometimes we got a later start, and it didn't matter a whole lot about getting up early. No strict schedule. If we took a day off (or a week if we went on vacation) it didn't matter. And we could do it in the summer too, or over the weekend. I remember some saturdays I just sat down with my science book for a while. And if I felt like doing english first one day, great, if the next I wanted to do science first, great. What I think I liked best was the ability to take as long as needed. Math is my weak point, so if I had to spend over an hour of it I could. We got about the same subjects I think, math, english, science, etc. I had started biology but I don't think the others had yet, when I left home. Some subjects were just unnecessary so we didn't do those, such as advanced math, none of us learned that, and we didn't do a whole lot of physics study. See, my mom's weak point is math as well, but my dad is awesome at math but he left when I was 9 so even my grasp of multiplication is shaky. My mom taught us to cook and play piano (though I sorta stopped learning piano I can still play a little though), and she can actually play pretty much any instrument so one of my brothers learned guitar and I thought about taking up violin cause it's not hard (to me anyway, after a 10 minute lesson I played a beginner's duet with my mom). We were always in the library and sometimes my mom would pick historical books for us to read (I really got addicted to the Dear America books). And she would read to us every night, usually from the classics. We traveled a lot so she taught us how to read maps. And in our travels we went to places like the space center in alabama, and various museums, once we went to DC, and we went to a lot of zoos and parks. We almost always had a garden so we learned about weeds and stuff. And my mom taught us how to build, like, chicken coops and such. (we've almost always had chickens) But our schooling was a bit more informal than some people's. I've known other homeschoolers who do have a set schedule. And some who pushed their kids hard to get them GEDs at 16. And some who bought all these tons of books (whereas we mostly got ours from the library or were donated to us from local schools) and programs and stuff.
