Another Vent Thread

[Willow My Love]

Last one got shut down again. My vent is that it took the electric company 10 hours and many tries to get my power back on. And when I called, they made it seem like it would take days!

 

[soulunsung]

It makes me crazy when I ask for help and I express that I don't understand something, I'm either told that I'm being rude, that I have attitude (when I'm only frustrated) and nobody really helps me. I mean, some people have been nice enough to help me, but right now I just feel like crying.

All I want to do is belong on these boards and I just feel...I feel like I sort of don't. I feel like ... i don't know.

 

[zobothehobo]

I don't want to go to English.

GRRRR I hate the new zShare player! Can't they go back to the old one?! You know, the one that loaded fast... the one that loaded without you clicking play and then pause first? The nicer lighter-weight one? That one? Can't they just please! I like the being able to click anywhere on the video and pausing it... but this is loading almost as slow as the flash player on divixden. Actually, scratch that, I just checked... they're at the same speed!!! God zShare! I used to love you but you screwed it all up!!!

 

[Marisa]

I am just so irritated. Then i feel like I can't be left alone.
I don't understand when you don't call someone or in the first place say you are going to call why do they feel the need to keep harassing you saying "I thought you said you would call". I swear I have a stalker now and it is annoying I am about to lay it all on the line and tell it like it is because you can only be nice and calm for so long before someone gets the picture.

My ear is killing me, absolutely killing me and I'm in seriously types of pain and I can't stand it. I almost want to cry. Geez. And I wish I had the money to go to the doctor, but I don't. So, I'll just have to make do with whatever I can do to take care of it here.

I was in class tonight, and...well, okay, I'll admit it, me and my two friends are kind of a clique, but it's not like we're rude, or we exclude anyone else, but that's not the point.

I said something to my friend Teri about what she was making (it's a jewelery designing/creating class) and this lady at the other end of the table suddenly shouted down to me 'Hey, you! Be quiet!' Even though she was talking and laughing, very loudly, with the woman sitting next to her!!

Later on in the class, she shouted down to me again and said 'You, what do you call yourself?' when I told her my name was Aly, she pointed to my design in my hand and said 'Give me that'.

What the hell?! What gives her the right to be so rude to me?! Okay, at 26 I'm the youngest in the class, but does that give her the right to speak to me like I'm a child?

She really made me mad.

I know how you feel. I know a trick though. Try gargling peroxide, and putting peroxide on a cotton swap and swabbing your ears just as you think your starting to get pain. It should prevent you from getting any kind of future pain and prevent those gosh darn ear aches 🙂

My vent?

I bought 10 songs off iTunes via my iPhone. I synced my iPhone top my new laptop and forgot to add those songs. now they are deleted. Tried to re-download the songs, and instead, iTunes wants me to re-purchase them. This makes me a very sad panda!

I never thought of using peroxide to gargle with, but I have used it on a cotton swab and cleaning my ears with it. Right now, I'm actually taking Sweet Oil and heating it up to where it's just warm and dabbing a cotton ball in it and putting it in my ear. It sorta works or it did last night, that and I'm also taking something for the pain. I just let it wear off before I took it again and it started hurting really bad and I think I got water in it, when I took my shower.

Darla agrees: Is there a free clinic you can go to?

I wish there was, but there isn't anywhere near me and at the moment I can't afford to go to the doctor. So, I'm just having to wing it by using Sweet Oil and trying to stay in the house and not let the cold weather get to my ears. It's part of why I'm so cranky, which I normally am not. I'm just hoping it doesn't turn into a full blown ear infection because that's what I'm afraid of.

ApricotAngel agrees: You strike me as quite a troubled person. Is there anybody you know you're close to that you can talk to for advice?

I am, in some ways. There are some that I could talk with, but it's hard for me to talk about what I'm dealing with, given some of the circumstances.

 

[Abbeycat]

Shoveled the snow & ice. Not a whole lot of process. I mean there was but still. I wish I could have done it better. 2-3 hour of shoveling.I think my wheels and under the car still has snowy - ice. ugh.

 

[Christopher]

Urgh, just... Urgh 😡

 

[Washburne]

For some reason I can't sleep at night. I really shouldn't be awake at 3 am. Especially if I start work at 6.30 am...

I wish you could disapprove without having to leave a comment.

You can always just write *sigh* 😉

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

The White Stripes broke up.

I am distraught.

 

[Christopher]

I want to punch something. I'm usually very passive but I am close to exploding with fury. I've already had my daily half hour swim but I want to go again now just to let off some steam. I think I made a huge mistake coming here, I'm just not an 'internet' kind of guy you know? It's not a world I'm familiar with and now I don't know if I should just go. I don't know what to do about all this, I thought everything would be easy and smooth like real life but the two mix and all hell breaks loose and I don't even know what I've done. I only wanted to talk about Buffy, I never realised I'd actually end up enjoying myself on here.

 

[Willow My Love]

Cait, last time it was three days for me. But now I'm still getting over the pneumonia I had from last month, so bitter cold and me aren't friends.

 

[zobothehobo]

I just got an email bitching me out for being part of the outer circle. Shut it people. These songs belong to Taylor fans, not just your little group people. Get over yourselves PLEASE

 

[Christopher]

In the real world I have a lot of pressure and get to interview celebrities, entertain models, host parties, work on films & TV, write articles that actually mean something to a lot of people as well as fit that around a social life in a town where everybody knows me and I never get a break or time to myself. It's always go and I'm fine with that but I just wanted to do something different. Coming on here is like a release you know, I have no responsibility and can exist in a simpler way where there is no consequence for anything I say or do and I'm not always being watched. I barely discuss Buffy and just talk here in The Bronze 99% of the time because none of you expect anything from me and just act like I am one of you. I like that and don't see anything wrong with it so why am I being labelled as an outcast for it? Sharing this forum was a bad idea and now everything I write on here is going to be under as much scrutiny as the rest of my life.

I've spent more time on the Internet (here) in one month then I have in the past few years. I think maybe I should step back and take a break. I should, right?

Darla agrees: Hmm I think you're looking for other people to tell you what to do, when you should just be doing what YOU want to do.

You're right Darl(ing)a, you're right. I'm just.. when I took my job it was just to be a writer for one magazine and it spread out to spokesperson for the company. I'm like Eve, like Hamilton. I feel like liason to the Senior Partners but I live my job. I am so lucky and privileged, I mean I've had pasta with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz you know. I am so lucky. But it never ends. Things are always expected of me. 24/7.

This forum was supposed to be an escape and I admit that now but having someone from my life come on here and read into things in the wrong way and then blame me for wanting a break from it all? How dare I. How dare I want to take such a great existence and turn my back on it for a forum? I am the most confident person I know and never doubt myself. Tonight I feel like I am the most selfish twat on the planet. I think back to when I was 15 and I was homeless, I have no right to complain about being so busy and having no free time. I have a roof over my head. Loads of friends and a girl who loves me. How dare I want to escape from all of this on the Internet?

I'm the most unappreciative and selfish person I know. I should be happy with what I have.

You're not selfish because you need an escape. Being appreciative of what you have doesn't mean you can never escape. Your first post in this quote is full of you being exhausted from all that you have to do in your real life. I understand that and you should too. Taking a break from it, or time for yourself here and there is NEVER something to feel bad about. You NEED to do that sometimes or you will crack. Everyone does. I hope you sort it out. As Darla said, it's up to you. But whatever you do, don't forget to take time for yourself to escape and relax. That's taking care of yourself.

My girlfriend passed away last year in a car crash and I've been depressed since, I decided to move on recently because I know she would have like me to be happy.

I tell my best friend that I like her and she said she likes me too but wasn't ready for another relationship just yet (she just got out of a messy one, her ex was a jerk and I looked after her) so I waited eagerly until not even a week later I heard she was dating another jerk from work, I was so pissed off that I had to hear it from people at work and not from her directly, and how all of a suddenly shes ready for a relationship!.

Now Im more depressed than ever, thinking no one wants me and that Im forever alone

Feeling like you've hit a brick wall when it comes to something and everywhere you turn, you can't get heard over the loud roar of the crowd around you.
