I think we should have a "venting" thread. Or something. I'm super annoyed. And I just have to get it out before I explode. I apologize if this is in the wrong spot or whatever. GAH! sadfkasjfslj!



(and also, why aren't there as many people on here as there used to be?) Just curious.

I agree with you. Something made me very angry today , I need something which could help me to stay cool !

That's a very good idea, I think. Who want to start ?

They left for another forum

Ha I vent a LOT! Its great

I think we should make this a vent!!!

I'll go!!! I've got a lot of pent up anger and sadness. So I'm willing to get it out first!!!

Okay... So my boyfriend is in the army. He's my boyfriend. I'm his girlfriend. Welllllll.... some other women happen to be married to men in the army. They starting calling me "Army Girlfriend!" I'm like?! WHAT?! NO WAY!!! I know its silly to get angry over but I'm HIS girlfriend. Not an "army girlfriend". I know it sounds dumb but being called an Army wife or army girlfriend kinda bugs me. Both my parents were in the army when I was little and I was given the term "army brat". We moved a lot and i hated it. I hated all the women on the bases who would just laze around their houses all day. I know that now all women who are married to men in the army are like that but thats what I got from it when I was growing up. Make sense? Well... I brought this up with my boyfriend and HE even said... "No your not an army girlfriend, your MY girlfriend. Just because this is my career doesn't mean that makes you an army girlfriend." He's so wonderful. And he might get deployed. And I'm just absolutely terrified he'll be sent over.He didn't even want to join. His parents practically forced him because they were BOTH in the army too! Soo... its just not fair. Whew. Okay. And to top it off my mother was telling me what a dead beat he is. Andy and I have been best friends for 3 years. And just this last september before he left he told me that he's loved me for the last 2 years. And that he wanted me to know that before he left. After that he let it go and we continued to be friends. I never wanted to jeopardize our friendship but I couldn't take it any longer so I wrote to him in November and told him that I loved him too. Whew... okay. NOW... His mother thinks it was kinda silly of me to do that. But whatever. He and I are together now. When she finally saw that I make him happy she let it go. Now... my mother won't let it go... I mean I'm an adult right? I should be able to make my own choices. I mean back when I was in high school she might have been able to tell me who I was allowed and not allowed to date but I don't even live at home anymore. Gah! Okay... Vent over. God I miss him.


And thats dumb! Why'd they leave?! Hmph... I left for a little while... but I'm back now.

Great idea of a thread!

Btw, I've edited the title!

I think many of you are aware I do like to rant...hehe

But i'll stick to outside stuff from now on...

I'm mad at myself.

Cuz I'm sleepy, dead tired, knackered but--- whenever I go to bed, I can't simply sleep!! My eyes are as huge as this dude's and I don't usually fall asleep til 6am.

And then I wake up early on purpose, to be tired at night but it happens the same as the previous day.




Am going to bed, to try to see if I get some sleep.

GRRR! I'm really angry. But at the same time I'm super sad. Gah I hate the military!

I tell you what has got me mad....people who insist in smoking in bus shelters! It's selfish and i'm pretty sure it's technically illegal in the UK since we brought in the banning smoking in public places law..

Theres no smoking in public places? So where do they smoke instead?

The law states people are now no longer allowed to smoke in public places/enclosed places, which is mainly defined as:

*Bars/restaurants/pubs
*work places (any type, office, factory, even taxi cabs)
*shopping centres
*train stations/bus stations
* arenas
*football/sports grounds
* any other enclosed places, which i'm sure include bus shelters.

Pretty much means, if anyone wants to smoke in these places, they have to go outside! (and in winter, especially after the cold winter we've had, it's probably a good idea to quit!)

As a non-smoker though, it's so much better!

It must suck for all you smokers out there to be banned for all these public places.

A lot has changed in the US as well. It's strange to know that the UK has banned public smoking as well!


Anyz, sorry to hear that you can't sleep! I've had insomnia for about 10 days to 2 weeks and I'd sleep at the oddest time. I guess my answer to that is to just exercise regularly and sleep at a designated time...force yourself to sleep. Sorry for the unsolicited advice, but thought it would be helpful. One of friends had a similar problem too, so she took sleeping pills. She said that solved her problem. I wouldn't dare to take those things because I've heard of people getting addicted to those stuff.

Nah smoking in bus shelters is legal cause there'd have to be a door in order for it to be illegal.

I found this in a press release:

As from 1 July 2007 when England becomes ‘smokefree’
smoking will not only be banned in public places such as
pubs, workplaces, work vehicles, etc it will also be illegal for
people to smoke in most bus shelters also.
The new law which is being introduced to protect people from
the effects of secondhand
smoke applies to all enclosed and
substantially enclosed public places, which means that
‘lighting up’ will be no longer permitted in most bus shelters.

From what i've read, if the bus shelter has sides to it, it is illegal. If it just has a roof then it isn't.

So, it's illegal in the one I use...the shelter is almost completely enclosed! (doesn't have doors, just 2 small openings to get in and out)

It falls into the second catergory of this:

The Health Act 2006 sets out that premises that are open to the public, or are used as a place of work (by more than one person or where members of the public might attend to receive or provide goods or services) are to be smokefree in areas that are enclosed or substantially enclosed. This includes both permanent structures and temporary ones such as tents and marquees. A roof includes any fixed or movable structures, such as canvas awnings.

Enclosed - Premises are considered to be enclosed if they have a ceiling or roof and, except for doors, windows or passageways, are wholly enclosed, whether on a permanent or temporary basis.

Substantially Enclosed - Premises are considered to be substantially enclosed if they have a ceiling or roof, but have an opening in the walls, which is less than half of the total areas of walls. The area of the opening does not include doors, windows or any other fittings that can be opened or shut.

Angry angry angry!!!!! I wanna scream soooo much! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The situation at my job is unbearable. Keeps searching for jobs....

Whats wrong? Job searching is annoying.

Explain us ! What's the problem with your job ? (maybe i won't understand because i'm still at school, but no one knows, maybe i could help)

By the way I'm very sad too, because i'm sick. I'm in holidays, so it's hard to stay at home when the rest of my family is having fun on the beach.

My dears Actually what is unbearable is my actual boss, always barking like a dog! And this past 2 weeks i have been alone with all the job, the last thing i need is listen to him barking nonsense things!!
Luckily March is near and I'll keep searching for new jobs and more related to my future career, Fashion design.

Get him a muzzle! You can have my job. I hate my job. I can't wait to move.

Fashion design? thats soo cool. I wanted to go into that when I was in highschool.

I think every little girl dreamed once of this job.... I take part of these little girls
So good luck for your job, in this moment I feel lucky to be a student.

I don't wanna start teaching again on Monday!

Actually, I do wnat to but thing is thjat I just have so much to do before Monday that I know I won't have enough time to make the posters, welcome cards, plan the week's lessons and all that.

I'm in denial I guess!

I never had a day as unlucky as this one.
Someone stole my phone, my computer's screen is about to die (without any reason), and I have some troubles with my father.
I can't stay calm and just want to cry....

poor girl! so many bad things. try to relax. I know it is a bit difficult, but I am sure you will get things to distract yourself!

I just realised it wasn't very glorious to be sad for material things like that. But I stay stressed, because some other things I can't traduce in english happened yesterday and today, this week is hard ! But I try relax, and remember how lucky I am sometimes.

^ ^ Yeah, true, true. But we can't help it...well, not as much as we'd like. When our favorite material possessions are gone or stolen...it's just sad. It's probably because we get attached to our things too. It may even have sentimental meaning. Plus, if it's a really nice and expensive...the more to mourn over. I guess rich people might not care as much unless it's some family heirloom, but us regular folks can't afford another nice thing. Umm...I think I went off on a tangent. *shrugs*

I'm sooo angry at my Doctor!

I am ssooooo irritated about having to do so much with no time. I also wish I could just get a freaking job soon!
I NEED MONEY!

You can have my job! I hate it!

samus, maybe you've already answered, but... What's your job ? You often say you hate it, i'm curious to know what it consists in.

I am the General manager and head hostess head everything at a local restaurant. I HATE it.
I can't wait until I get married... that way I can go back to school.

Now I know, I hope you'll find a better job soon

Me too! I won't need one soon though.

don't you have those kind of friends that you care about and you keep sending text messages or facebook/hi5 comments and that person hasn't answered for months? I mean, I am not angry, because when we are together we have a fabulous time and we like each other very much...I don't know...since I was depressed two years ago I changed my perspective in life. I don't care for people that don't care about me...I use to get stressed and angry, but nowadays I have much to think to care about that.

I had the same problem. It made me feel bad and unusual !
But now I realised those kind of "friends" weren't real friends, and I went ahead !
I feel so much better now !

yeah, I know what you mean...still it makes me sad.

Tomorrow I have to pass a big French test, one of the biggers of the year
I'm very stressed, even if I'm good at French, because my teacher is missing since... January !
I was supposed to have another teacher today, to get prepared for tomorrow, but she didn't came ! Grrrrr..... What can I do now ?

study?

I thought those kind of problems only happened in Portugal...

I proved you that you were wrong.
I have passed the test this morning... I was supposed to answer a few questions about two texts, and write a political speech against racism... Wow
Waiting for the results.

I'm PMS.


But apart from that, and way before I was PMS, I've been feeling so down!

My dog has cancer, I feel completely useless, sad, it's unfair, he's gonna die.It's like loose a younger brother.

I´m so sorry, Tom!...
How is he now?
The other day, my dog appears to me all covered in blood, with wounds on hiw paw, eye, and I don´t know where, and he lost a tooth...his lip was falling down like a bear's and I got so worried because our Vet sucks! Aparentelly, he got into a fight with another dog over a female he's in love but he got me worried sick! He was so calm, and weak, and sad, not eating at all, (I supose it was aching), whithout all that energie he allways has...he gets me to the ground everytime he sees me...so cute!
We cleaned and desinfected his wounds and waited to see how his body would react. Fortunately he's fine and eats like he used to and with that I mean: like a vacuum cleaner!

Best wishes for your dog, Tom!

dogs fighting over a woman...sounds almost like a human!

You bet!
Sometimes animals look more human, them "humans themselves"... I loveeeeeeee dogs for their loyalty! That's not found very often around us!...
