The Vent Thread

[pan_dbgt01]

There is such a thing as a healthy addiction. An addiction is only a problem when it starts to dictate your life.

Tell my husband that! OMFG.

Snowed :/
Not that its all bad, just the sudden hyperventilation that comes from being out in the cold causing you to cancel clients is what is junky about it. It only happens from the cold snow too, nothing else. Its like my lungs can't take some frost.

[Otohiko]

Bah, you guys ruined my venting that I was gonna do today. I thought I'd engage in some sort of cathartic pathos on how I feel about my solitary life and rage at the way things are going at the moment, but now I just feel defeated and ronery. I guess all that's left for me now is to sit at home and listen to melancholic music and give no fucks .__.

Happy Valentine's, y'all

[EvaFan]

oto I used to be just like you and while its still not my place to say this, the only one that can change that is you. You can still get help though, my friends took me out to do stuff cause I wasn't very assertive, didnt go to things alone. I met my current girlfriend through my brother for crying out loud. So ya, its ok to rely on friends and family to meet people. I also agree with the people saying valentines day isn't just about a significant other. While I was out today I saw people just hanging out with friends too. Just don't look at it too deeply and enjoy the day doing something you love, could be as simple as reading a book from an author you really like. Hell I'ma spend the rest of it gaming cause its mah second followed by some damn homework.

Also since this is a vent thread:
Jebus it was dreary as hell today, drizzling rain and cold as hell all day today in somerset, kentucky.

It's alright oto, go ahead and complain O:

Completely unrelated to Valentine's day, today has sucked.

Work-wise, I was hit like a damn train. 25 returns to assemble, 15 new returns thrown on my desk (with the 30-odd returns at home STILL left to do), got a 45 on a damn cost test, and my brain is just generally melted.

Oh, and I'm forever alone. >:|

BUT, I'm not going to let it bother me.

Just gonna take a deep breath and deal with what I have control over, and not stress about it.

My speakers died (or rather, the cord must have a short in it or something, the audio comes out garbled). I can plug my headphones directly into my computer and it sounds fine, but their cord is too short to make that a viable option. Not to mention one of my monitors is dying. It's an old one, so it's not entirely unexpected, but I've gotten used to two monitors.

[Ileia]

Scratch that! Adam just bought me both new speakers and new headphones as a very early birthday present. The monitor is still problematic, but pfff, I can deal with that, whatevs. Especially compared to not having sound. D:

In my religion, we do not observe V-Day. So I have to say I had no idea when v-day was. Funny thing is, my cute loli co-worker decides today of all days to offer me a ride home instead of letting me catch the bus and FOR SOME ODD REASON I SAID NO.

WHAT THE F***IN SH** IS WRONG WITH ME??!!

I wish I could look at it that way, but I can't. It's even a cultural thing. As something I grew up with, that's not subject to debate, and I'll always look at it kind of deeply and philosophically.

I think in all of this, if I have to make one disclaimer, and particularly to my friends - remember, I really have a vastly different cultural background, experience and outlook. That doesn't mean I can't relate, and that doesn't mean I'm so different that I have to run around waving my "I'm speshul!" flag and not have anything in common with anyone. But at the same time, I may be a lot more psychosocially different than people realize - particularly those of you who grew up in North America, speaking only one language.

It's alright oto, go ahead and complain O:

I started to, and then I realized that my vent was getting to be around 4 pages long (not even kidding). Then I looked at it and realized that it was waaaaaaaaaaay too personal and I would not want to post it.

So I think I'll leave it as is.
God this was not a good day for me emotionally ~__~
Could always be worse though

Hope everyone's had a good one and we can now move on from this subject, lol.
