Lately, I’ve been looking over my posts, and I’ve noticed I’ve been REALLY snarky-even for me.
The only excuse I can offer is that I’m miserable. I’m fucking BORED out of my skull. I HATE summer. I hate Kmart, but right now, I’ve got my loans and until I can find a decent job-NOT another retail one-I’m stuck. And it’s been too damn hot to do anything, so I’m either at home, at work, on the computer, doing housework or napping. Which SUCKS.
I’m so afraid I won’t ever be able to find a job-or worse, go back to school, which I want more than anything. I’m only 24 but I feel like time is running out.
So, I’m sorry I’ve been such an anal bitch lately.
Oh, and no hugs. Please, God, no hugs. I just want to bitch and bitch and be snarky.
Hey, don’t feel so bad. I haven’t even bothered getting a job over the summer, and I’ve been bored bored bored out of my mind. I’ve been noticing that more and more of my posts are getting to be of the “crass, dark, or random humor” variety.
And, personally, I’ve hated you ever since you got more posts than me. In fact, I hate anyone that has more posts than me. All you people with more posts than me can eat out my asshole and call it candy.
What you gotta do is play lots of computer games. They’ll soak up plenty of your time.
Guin. The admins have decided to remove all of your excessively bitchy posts and the net result is, when you awake in the morning you should have only 17 posts in your count. (Actually, SPOOFE suggested this to them.)
Guin, Seeing as how I am in exactly the same situation and can sympathize, you can feel free to bitch and be snarky at me whenever you please, I don’t mind at all.
Please don’t despair. I’m 37 and I’m on my second year of college.I thought I’d never get here.At 24 years old I had two kids in diapers and one on the way. It was a long road, but I survived and only came out better for it. So will you.Some people may tell you at 24 you are too old to go to school, but I’ve read your posts you have a good head on your shoulders. It does not matter when you end up going back to school because when you do you WILL succeed and you will be no older than if you decided not to go back.
If you are sorry because of the posts directed at december don’t sweat too much; worry only about the ones in the Gay marriage thread! I remember that the Pit thread regarding how he misquoted the Guardian on the Israel-Palestine violence has even right leaning dopers giving him even more bile for his latest stunts. I should have flamed him down there also! http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=130904
Of course it was amazing the number of posters, in the gay marriage thread, that replied in december’s favor by saying “I am not aware of december’s posting metods” and many looked like they were veterans in these boards! Such ignorance! For shame!!
I guess december does deserve a targeted apology. Yet, this is borderline: since he has not reposted his “gay marriage announcements: good” thread in Great Debates I am beginning to think it was his intention all along to provoke a poster to jump at him, Do know that I will still think his dubious good OP was an oddity compared to his recent posts.
But wait! I was meaning to make you feel better! ignore most of the post so far!
24 and feeling that time has run out? I am 36 and now I wonder if I should feel more down!
Too hot? I am in Arizona, usually doing 110 degrees! I should feel more down!
I work part time in a small shop doing computer design, but mostly I have to operate a screen press that requires lots of physical work. . . Well I don’t feel so down because at least I do not need to go to a gym.
Bored? You guin? The poster with more fans than any I know? Nobody is your pen pal? I wanted to know you better that way but my procrastination and shyness makes me a terrible pen friend… ok, now I feel down!!! . . .
Hang in there! Remember that it is not only the past, but also the future that will need historians!
Hey, you’re young, he’s an experienced and wily campaigner: Lessons learned - you win wars by choosing the battles you fight and don’t assume he’s always going to be predictable.
What you seem to be doing here is saying personal circumstances affected your judgement. Maybe. But don’t think of whining, just take it on the chin, apologise if appropriate and remember.
Or there’s always the option that if you don’t have more to contribute than “fuck you,” you could always, you know, not bother at all. I’m not the smartest or the best person around by a big stretch, but I try not to post if I don’t have anything to SAY. Being in a shitty mood is excusable; everyone does it. Spraying your shitty mood across a public area isn’t. Your own thread? Go for it. Someone else’s? Remember the Platinum Rule:
