THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD!→[More:]
THE SPRING HINGE ON MY GLASSES BROKE AND NOW THEY DON'T FIT RIGHT AND THEY SLIDE DOWN MY NOSE AND IT'S DRIVING MY CRAAAAAZY!
I'M HUNGRY! YEAH, HUNGRY! AND I CAN'T BE BOTHERED GOING TO THE DELI AND I'M ANNOYED WITH MYSELF FOR RUNNING LATE THIS MORNING AND NOT HAVING TIME TO PACK MY LUNCH!!
ALSO, I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TODAY AND AM ALREADY BEHIND. GAH!
ALSO, WHEN YOU CALL A BUSINESS ON THE PHONE AND MUMBLE ONE WORD WHICH PROMPTS ME TO SAY "PARDON?" AND THEN YOU SAY THE ONE WORD AGAIN ONLY REALLY SNOTTILY, I'M GOING TO THINK YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE! FUCK YOU AND YOUR BAD PHONE MANNERS!
ALSO I AM GOING TO GET A T SHIRT PRINTED ESPECIALLY FOR FREQUENTING MY BUILDING SOCIETY. ON IT WILL SAY "DON'T FUCKING TRY TO SELL ME ANY KIND OF TWATTING LOAN, CREDIT CARD, EXTRA ACCOUNT OR ISA. ALSO, QUIT IT WITH THE FAKE FRIENDLINESS - WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOU COULDN'T GIVE A RAT'S ARSE WHAT I'M GOING THIS WEEKEND, HOW I AM TODAY AND WHAT I'M LISTENING TO ON MY IPOD. JUST GIVE ME MY BASTARD MONEY SO I CAN LEAVE."
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO IS SCREAM "YOU ALL SUUUUCK!!!" AND FLING PAPERS ALL AROUND. I HATE TO SAY ITS A SICK CHILD...THAT COULD BRING THEM BAD KARMA.
SICK ME? I MIGHT TRY SICK ME, THO.
MY LEFT LEG HURTS, AND HAS FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I UP AND JOINED THE YUPPIEST GYM HERE IN TOWN AND NOW FIND THAT BETWEEN WORK, PARENTING AND OTHER DOMESTIC FIXIT-COOKING CHORES, THERE IS SCARCELY TIME TO GO.
I GOT THEIR LATEST ALBUM BUT REALLY CAN'T GET INTO IT AT ALL AND CAN'T SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT. I DID GET THE LATEST JOSH RITTER ALBUM TODAY AND ALSO THE BAT FOR LASHES ALBUM AND THEY BOTH SOUND PRETTY GOOD.
THE LATEST ALBUM IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST MOUNTAIN GOATS ALBUM THAT I DISLIKE. YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE WE SHALL ALL BE HEALED AND TALLAHASSEE. THEY ARE MUCH BETTER. IF NOTHING ELSE DOWNLOAD THE SONG "NO CHILDREN".
I STILL LIKE THE MID-90s SHRIMPER TAPES FROM THE MOUNTAIN GOATS THE BEST, AND THEY ARE STILL OUT OF PRINT, BUT I HAVE 2 COPIES OF HOT GARDEN STOMP AND THE HOUND CHRONICLES, HA HA HA!
I HAVE HAD A HEADACHE FOR 5 DAYS NOW, I THINK IT'S MY NECK AND I HAVE NO MONEY TO GO TO A MASSAGE THERAPIST. IT BETTER BE MY NECK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR A TUMOUR!!!
AND WHY CAN'T THIS CELL LINE DO WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO! JUST F*CKING KNOCKDOWN RAD9 ALREADY!!! YOU'RE RESISTANT TO ALL THE RIGHT DRUGS SO WHY CAN'T YOU JUST EXPRESS THAT FREAKING siRNA!!! MOTHERF*CKING HELL I HATE YOU!
SO IT'S LUCKY THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD, THEN. YOU BASTARD ALBUM REVIEWERS GIVING GREAT REVIEWS TO BANDS YOU THINK ARE TRENDY EVEN THOUGH THE ALBUM IS RUBBISH. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR REVIEWS AND CRAM THEM UP YOUR COLLECTIVE SPHINCTER. WELL, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN GOATS ANY MORE. I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND ONE OF THOSE OTHER ALBUMS, BUT ONLY IF IT'S £5 OR LESS.
ALTOLINGUISTIC: NO, THE HALIFAX. ESPECIALLY THE GUY WHO I *ALWAYS* SEEM TO GET. NO MATTER HOW UNINTERESTED, OFF-ISH AND SARCASTIC I GET, HE WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. I EVEN TOLD HIM I WASN'T INTERESTED IN ANY OTHER PRODUCT AND HE *STILL* WOULDN'T ACCEPT THAT AS DAMN CLUE TO SHUT THE HELL UP. AARRGH!
I CANNOT JUST CUT AND PASTE EIGHT PAGES OF COPY WHEN YOU WANT IT REORGANIZED. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS "FLOW," PEOPLE; YOU CAN'T JUST JAM UNRELATED CONCEPTS NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND ASSUME PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND THEM.
MICROSOFT WORD AND OUTLOOK BOTH HAVE SPELL CHECKERS. SO DOES GOOGLE! WHEN YOU ASK ME HOW TO SPELL "BUREAUCRACY" FOR THE 3rd TIME, I USE FREAKING GOOGLE TO FIGURE IT OUT! WHY DON'T YOU???
OH, AND ALL THE HOUSE STUFF SEEMS TO BE OK NOW!!! WHICH IS REALLY GOOD!!! BUT IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL EVERYTHING IS SIGNED AND WE'VE ACTUALLY MOVED IN SO STILL A BIT STRESSED!!!
THE COMPANY PRESIDENT CAME IN TODAY, AND I WAS UP AT 4 AM TO GO IN EARLY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. NOW SHE'S SO PLEASED THAT SHE'S COMING BACK ON TUESDAY TO DO A LIVE COMPANY BROADCAST. SO WE HAVE TO PLAY GAMES AGAIN TO MAKE HER THINK WE ALWAYS LOOK THIS WAY. AAARRGGHH!!!
I'M FUCKING TIRED AND HAVEN'T SLEPT WELL IN FIVE DAYS FROM THINKING ABOUT EVERYTHING FAR TOO MUCH AND I GET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OUT OF IT AND STILL HAVE TO GET UP AND HUMP IT TO WORK AND BE PRODUCTIVE.
I WANT TO WAKE UP TOMORROW AT 2 IN THE AFTERNOON IN A SPACIOUS HOTEL ROOM WITH WIDE WINDOWS, WHITE PILLOWS AND THE SOUND OF LAZY SEAGULLS FILLING MY HEAD.
IT'S 2.30 AM AND THE BOYFRIEND IS STILL AT WORK. BOO! I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO SNOW ENOUGH FOR ME TO CALL INTO WORK TOMORROW. AND I LOST THE LITTLE SPACE FILLER THING THAT GOES IN MY LAPTOP WHEN THERE'S NO MEMORY CARD IN THERE IS MISSING. GRRRR...
