Here's another vent thread

[msfantastico87]

So I've been dreading going to my internship. Why? Because it ends at the end of next month. I don't think i'm going to be getting a letter of recommendation. My boss says that I shouldn't have tried calming the baby whale, even though I am the only one she will keep calm around. Without this letter of recommendation, i'm screwed. UGH

Also, after watching The Cove (mandatory for my internship) I cannot believe the kind of ignorant things that are happening in Japan, and no one helping out. I might need to open a separate thread about this topic because I feel very passionately about this. not only are they capturing wild dolphins for trainers to hand pick, but they are also slaughtering the ones that don't get picked to sell their flesh and masking it as whale meat. They have no idea how much mercury is in dolphin meat. It's ridiculously toxic. The human is only able to withstand about .04 ppm Mercury. a slab of dolphin meat contains 2000 ppm. If a pregnant woman consumes that, she would give birth to a deformed child. Does this not concern the Japanese fishermen?!

End Rant.....for now

zobothehobo agrees: That's AWFUL!!!!

I know. I was thinking about opening a thread to it, but i'm not sure you lot care as much as me , you know, to the point of being scary about it lol

SCREW YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I posted a video of me dancing around my room while various songs played on my computer speakers. I have really good speakers and they were really loud and close to my microphone and I guess it sounded like I edited the mp3 of the song on top of the video... but I didn't. As soon as I posted this video, the audio was disabled. I submitted a counter infringement thing and they re-abled it. I figured that meant I didn't do anything wrong (ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE TONS OF VIDEOS JUST LIKE MINE WITH WORSE QUALITY ON THE SONGS ALL OVER YOUTUBE). Today I sign in and I find out that video's been completely disabled and I've got a copyright strike. Isn't that kind of youtube's fault?! I mean if they had told me that my video was still under copyright infringement when I submitted my counter infringement thing, I would have taken it down myself. But I left it up because they told me I did nothing wrong and then BOOM!!! I get punished out of nowhere!!!!! And if my video was so wrong, but all the other videos like that aren't (including the other similar one I posted a couple weeks before the one in question), can I do it again with lower volume and crappier speakers? Or will that be considered copyright infringement too? I'm really freaking pissed! I mean youtube told me this video was ok and then I get punished because it's not?!?!?!?! HOW THE BEEP DOES THAT MAKES SENSE?!?!?!?!

Don't blame Youtube Zoe. Blame Vevo.

I am so pissed off. It's not even funny. I spent the last two weeks writing and editing a short story which I was really proud of and now thanks to my cousin it's gone! And I can't just head off recycle bin to get it back cause she opened up the file, deleted everything I wrote and replaced it with gibberish. She twelve so it's not like she could've done it accidently, she done it to annoy me. It's half that I've just lost two weeks worth of writing and half that she thinks doing that is freaking okay!!!

Not the first time she's done it either. Better hide my files more carefully.

EDIT:

Why blame Vevo?

Copy infringement wasn't really wasn't a problem before Vevo. God, I sound like one of those people who whines about it in the comments don't I? Still, kinda true...

I'm at home...sick and I'm about to watch some TV.

...wait, shouldn't this be in the happiness thread? LOL. Nah, I don't like being sick because it leaves you feeling...sick but I'm pleased to be home from school with TV watching time.

 

[xaphania]

My computer is getting slower and slower and slower. 🙁

Someone tried to break into my car.

I was upstairs trying to wait for my dad to be ready to look over this health insurance stuff that they sent me in the mail. My dad & stepmom were watching tv. All sudden, I heard my car alarm go off. But as soon as I went downstairs to my bedroom to pull on some jeans and sneakers on, the alarm was off by the time I opened the front door. I tried to look around the car. It looked okay. We have a street light across the street. So I could see some.

This makes me upset! I start to worry that the person will try it again later when s/he thinks we are asleep or something. I mean our neighborhood isn't a bad neighborhood and I don't really have anything in the car.

But now I have to wait until morning, to look around my car again and start up my car and look inside the car.

I can't help but obsess over this and worry. Because I worry too much.

prophecygrrl agrees: Whoa, that's so scary! Do you have a garage or anywhere to park it in?

I don't, unfortunately. I have to park it right in front of the house. We don't have a three car garage. Which totally sucks!!

I went downstairs to go outside to spin. After watching Chosen this time, I felt so empowered... so... I felt like someone. I was putting on my jacket and my dad asked me where I was going. I said "outside to spin. I feel so empowered. Like I can be someone, and I am someone, you know?" And he threw in my face that I'm at a community college... he took my Chosen feeling away. And I can't argue with him, because I'm not someone. But GOD I just wanna feel like I can be someone... and I did. I did... I really really did. And now I feel so... God. And I thought maybe watching Chosen again would help, but I don't know... Why does he do this?! Every time... he takes away my light.

Abbeycat agrees: Tell him, just because your at a community college, doesn't mean you can't BE someone.

That was the most amazing thing you could have said to me. Thank you Abbey. Thank you so much.

At dinner, I had so many ideas for like ten banners. I now am at my computer with GIMP open and I can't remember any of them.

 

[soulunsung]

Yuck, my ear hurts. 🙁

 

[prophecygrrl]

The narrator of Moby Dick is so freaking annoying. WTF, English homework...ugh, this is making me hate reading. Blah blah whales, blah blah "savages". Call me a philistine, I don't care. I can't stand this book right now, and I've got fifty more pages of reading to do before the night ends. Yay.

 

[zobothehobo]

Zeppo agrees: Stop opening up/elaborating to him. He can't take away something you don't give him. "Outside to spin." Why? "Because I want to." Bam. It's done.

Great idea. I never thought of that before, but great idea.

Bad day. "Just" depression(not extreme) but more than enough today. Bluh!

 

[Marisa]

People acting like they are your friends but only calling when they have a problem. I am seriously not listening to that crap anymore nope I am done.

 

[Taake]

Always having to be "the bad guy" is getting on my nerves, fine I know that as far as parenting go my main strenght is discipline - doesn't mean I think it's 'fun' or that I want to be the one constantly having to enforce the rules... no one wants to be the bad guy. Grrr... irresponsibility just really... grinds my gears!!

 

[frankie]

Finally got my mortgage sorted, and all the life assurance, house insurance, solicitor letters and renovation money that goes with it. The only think missing. The god damn house. The people selling it to me are taking forever, just let me buy it already 🙁.

 

[Carrrrgh]

I was so tired this morning so apparently I dressed myself in some ridiculous outfit, my jeans are three sizes too big, my socks won't stay up inside my uggs, I am wearing my winter snowboarding jacket what??, my hair is plopped on my head like a birds nest and I completely forgot to wear mascara.

Eesssh it's just one of those days.

Oh yes and I just remembered I have a take home midterm due today that I haven't started yet. Hmph.

 

[WakingNightmare]

Why is it that pointing out that what you just is incredibly ignorant and more than a little offensive gives your friend the right to call me bitch? I was annoyed but I said it as camly as I could. How does this make a me a bitch? How does this make it okay for your friend to hit me? Why didn't my friend for about seven years (who I took to a freaking theme park last year) stand up for me?

And last but not least, why I am so pissed off about your petty ignorance? I wish I could just not care about this.

People like you annoy me. No-one controls their sexual orientation.

Grr.

(Y'know this vent thread works really well. Better than punching a wall.)

 

[Chosen Enemy]

I'm a bit sicko and fluey. That sucks. There are things I need to do, and I'd rather doing them without my sore throat.

 

[Abbeycat]

Uhhh I don't need to tell you where I've been! I guess my dad's friend walked up to 7-Eleven or something. Just as I was parking my car in front of the house, he is walking on the our lawn. When I get inside, he asks "Where have you been?" I thought over & over, why do you care? Why does it even matter where I've been? I just said "Store" My stepmom answered my dad's friend w/ my details than that.

Because I had to go to the store to get envelopes. But I got a few extra things.

I'm 26 years old, I don't need to tell him where I've been.

My stepmom said "He wants to know what his family is up to." I was thinking, you did not just call us, his family. Because that, I am not.

Why bother poking me on Facebook and start a conversation if it's to say two sentences and then hardly anything? It makes me want to talk and then it's like I'm talking to myself :cool2:
