THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD! →[More:]I HATE IT WHEN I'M AT WORK ALL DAY AND CAN'T JOIN IN MECHA AS MUCH AS I WANT TO SO THAT WHEN I COME TO ADD MY COMMENTS TO THINGS THEY ARE SO OLD THAT NOBODY READS THEM.

SO GO TO THE PROPOSALS THREAD AND READ ABOUT HOW GEORGE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM BECAUSE IT MADE ME CRY HAVING TO WRITE IT AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE WRITTEN IT AND NOBODY EVER READS IT.

Oh, essexjan. That's so sweet; I sense he was a little nervous.

I'm so sorry.

I HATE WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE.

posted by amro 18 April | 14:38

OMG. ESSEXJAN! THAT HAS TO BE THE SADDEST THING I HAVE EVER READ. YOU GET MAJOR HUGS AND YES, SOMETIMES GOD SUCKS.

That makes what I was going to shout about pretty much irrelevant so I won't bother

posted by LunaticFringe 18 April | 14:40

so sorry, jan.

and here is my shouting :
I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY JOB CONTRACT IS NOT BEING EXTENDED ('BUDGET', BUT REALLY BECAUSE MY BOSS IS AN ASS.) I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB ANYWAY BECAUSE I HATE THIS ONE BUT IT IS TAKING SO LONG AND I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING YET AND AM SCARED AND PISSED OFF AND JUST IN A GENERAL STATE OF SHOCK.

ALRIGHT: WHY, OH WHY HAVEN'T HUMANS INVENTED TELEPORTER-TYPE MACHINES YET? I MEAN, HONESTLY...

posted by LunaticFringe 18 April | 14:55

OH MAN, IF I HAD A TELEPORTER....

posted by matildaben 18 April | 15:03

SOMEONE SAY TELEPORTER? MIKE, MIKE! WHERE ARE YOU?!?

ALSO, HUGS AND BLESSINGS FOR JAN!

posted by Specklet 18 April | 15:05

SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THERE'S A PURPOSE TO LIFE BUT I'M NOT SURE I BELIEVE THAT ANYMORE. SOMETIMES, THOUGH, I GET THE FEELING THAT WHEN SOMEONE FIGURES IT OUT THEY GET TAKEN AWAY SO AS TO NOT LET THE SECRET OUT.

I AM HAVING FUN TROLLING ON METAFILTER. DON'T TELL ANYONE. SHHHHHH. I'VE JUST ACCUSED ATHIESTS OF NOT BEING GREEN. AM WAITING TO SEE WHO WILL BITE.

posted by seanyboy 18 April | 15:12

Essexjan, I actually just clicked back here to see if you had posted that, since you promised to, so you're not forgotten! Really!

posted by occhiblu 18 April | 15:14

I WOULDN'T WANT A TELEPORTER. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN EXTRA EYE ON THE TIP OF MY INDEX FINGER.

AND MECHA ISN'T SLOW ANY MORE BECAUSE I CLEARED MY CACHE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS I THINK.

posted by essexjan 18 April | 15:14

YES. IF I HAD A TELEPORTER I'D BE HOME BY NOW.

posted by NucleophilicAttack 18 April | 15:15

YOU HEAR ABOUT SHOUTING THREADS A LOT BUT THEY ARE REALLY JUST THREADS FOR SHOUTING. I HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY HEARD A THREAD SHOUT.

posted by Eideteker 18 April | 15:22

I CLEARED MY CACHE RECENTLY AND METACHAT IS STILL SLOW FOR ME!

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DIP INTO MY RESERVE MONEY TO GO DRINKING/DANCING WITH THE GIRLS ON FRIDAY, BUT I CONSIDER THAT MONEY WELL-SPENT!

I'M SAD BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO PROPOSED TO WHOM WHEN MY FRIENDS CHRIS AND KELLY GOT ENGAGED, AND SHE'LL HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR SEVEN MONTHS THIS SATURDAY. I DO REMEMBER THE WEDDING CEREMONY, BECAUSE I WAS THE PHOTOGRAPHER, IT WAS ON HALLOWEEN AND I WORE CAT-EARS WITH A BLUE BUSTIER AND A VELVET LONG SKIRT WITH A SLIT UP THE SIDE.

I WANT TO TELEPORT TO VEGAS RIGHT NOW SO I CAN GET A BACK MASSAGE FROM CABANA BOY MIKE.

I BOUGHT TWO BOTTLES OF WINE FOR A TOTAL OF $7.56 AT TRADER JOE'S THIS AFTERNOON AND AFTER THE GYM TONIGHT I'M GONNA LAY AROUND AND DRINK IT.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 18 April | 15:39

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ESSEXJAN (about no one reading your stuff...).
A little help, anyone? (didn't want to shout that.)

posted by Hellbient 18 April | 15:42

I'M SO TIRED, AND MY BOYFRIEND IS SICK AGAIN, AND I WANT TO FLY TO THE UK AND THROW ESSEXJAN A DINNER PARTY WITH LOTS OF WINE AND HUGS.

posted by muddgirl 18 April | 15:48

NO WINE FOR ME, OR YOU WOULD SORELY REGRET IT, MUDDGIRL. SOBER JUST OVER 7 YEARS. WOO. YAY.

posted by essexjan 18 April | 15:52

I WAS AT THE DENTIST, SPECKLET, MY SWEET, BUT I AM HERE NOW! O, FOR A TELEPORTER! I'M GOING TO READ JAN'S STORY NOW!

posted by mike9322 18 April | 16:04

I AM TIRED TOO, AND MY BOYFRIEND IS SICK TOO, AND I THINK I AM GETTING SICK CAUSE I CAN'T BREATHE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATHE REALLY PISSES ME OFF!

posted by Fuzzbean 18 April | 16:05

AW, JAN, YOUR STORY TOUCHES ME. SO, SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I WAS STILL LURKING AT MEFI WHEN YOU POSTED YOUR ASKME QUESTION ABOUT THAT - I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL JUST NOW THAT THAT WAS YOU. HUGS.

posted by mike9322 18 April | 16:09

IF I HAD A TELEPORTER I'D BE HOME BY NOW.

YOU AND THAT FLY.

posted by essexjan 18 April | 16:22

ADD A FEW DROPS OF EUCALYPTUS OIL TO A BOWL OF BOILING WATER, FUZZBEAN, AND INHALE THE VAPOUR WITH A TOWEL OVER YOUR HEAD. IF NO OIL, ADD A TEASPOON OF VICKS TO THE WATER.

posted by essexjan 18 April | 16:24

I'M LOSING! LOSING! ARGHHHHH!

posted by seanyboy 18 April | 16:24

OH AND FUZZBEAN, YOU SHOULD REALLY START TAKING AIRBORNE- IF YOU DRINK IT WHEN YOU START TO FEEL SICK, YOU WON'T GET SICK, OR IF YOU DO, YOU'LL RECOVER FASTER. I SWEAR.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 18 April | 16:28

I GAVE IN. I GOT CALLED SOME NAMES THOUGH. BUT I MADE SOME FRIENDS.

posted by seanyboy 18 April | 17:17

WHEN PEOPLE SAY TO THROW A TOWEL OVER YOUR HEAD OVER A BOILING WATER POT, ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT OFF THE STOVE FIRST?

I"M DRINKING 16 HANDS WIND AND IT"S YUMMY.

posted by chewatadistance 18 April | 17:26

I HAVE TO DISAGREE, JAN! MENTHOLATED PRODUCTS MAY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN BREATHE BETTER, BUT THEY ACTUALLY MAKE YOUR MUCOUS MEMBRANES SWELL!

AIRBORNE!

posted by Specklet 18 April | 17:31

I DON'T KNOW WHAT AIRBORNE IS!

TELL ME SO I KNOW FOR THE FUTURE AND THUS WON'T GIVE DANGEROUS MEDICAL ADVICE AGAIN!

posted by essexjan 18 April | 17:38

IF I HAD A TELEPORTER I'D BE HOME BY NOW.

YOU AND THAT FLY.

EJ FOR TEH WIN.

posted by Eideteker 18 April | 18:05

THIS IS AIRBORNE. I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT BEFORE BUT MAYBE I WILL THIS TIME BECAUSE MY LUNGS REALLY HURT. OR ZICAM. OR SOMETHING SMELLY. OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. I WILL BE VERY VERY VERY PISSED OFF IF I HAVE TO TAKE ANTIBIOTICS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY KEEP GIVING ME ALLERGIES AND I HATE TAKING THEM.

I HATE WINTER. AND I HATE SHOWING MY APARTMENT. I BET THAT IS WHERE WE GOT THIS NASTY SICK FROM STUPID PEOPLE IN OUR APARTMENT WHO DO NOT WASH THEIR HANDS PROPERLY. I HATE PEOPLE.

BUT NOT BUNNIES. I LIKE BUNNIES.

posted by Fuzzbean 18 April | 21:27

I HATE MY PROFESSOR. SHE IS A WRETCHED OLD COOT WHO CAN'T TEACH, AND I WANT TO PUNCH HER IN THE THROAT. SHE RIDES EVERYONE ABOUT EVERYTHING, AND NOTHING WITH HER IS EVER POSITIVE. NATURALLY, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT HOW MUCH WE SUCK.

SHE HAS NO PATIENCE FOR ESL STUDENTS AND BERATES AND EMBARASSES THEM IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS AND MENTORS (NURSES AT THE HOSPITAL). SHE HAS NO MERCY.

I HOPE SHE DIES IN A CAVE, SOMEWHERE, ALONE. SLOWLY. SAD, LONELY, AND REMORSEFUL. I HOPE SHE CRIES AND NO ONE CAN HEAR HER. I WISH HER FAMILY COULD KNOW HOW ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE AND SMALL SHE MAKES HER STUDENTS FEEL. FOR TEACHING A PROFESSION BASED ON COMPASSION AND CARING, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE'S GOTTEN SO FAR.
