THIS IS A 3-POINT SHOUTING THREAD! →[More:]
1. FOR THE MOST PART I ENJOY LIVING BY MYSELF BUT SOMETIMES IT SUCKS DONKEY BALLS. TODAY I HAD TO CHANGE THE BULB IN MY SECURITY LIGHT. I WAS AT THE TOP OF THE STEPLADDER ABOUT 10FT OFF THE GROUND WHEN IT MOVED SLIGHTLY. MY STOMACH LURCHED AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO TAKE A HEADER ONTO THE CONCRETE. ALL I WANT IS SOMEONE TO HOLD THE LADDER FOR ME OR TO CATCH ME WHEN I FALL.

2. MY HEALTH HASN'T BEEN GOOD THIS YEAR. PART OF THAT IS DOWN TO ME, BUT MY PSORIASIS IS REALLY BAD AFTER THE SHINGLES I JUST GOT OVER. I FEEL LIKE A LEPER.

3. MY FAVOURITE OLDIES STATION WHICH USUALLY PLAYS GREAT 70S MUSIC HAS ALREADY GONE OVER TO NON-STOP CHRISTMAS HITS. FUCK YOU. I WANT MY DISCO MUSIC WHEN I'M IN THE SHOWER AND THE CAR.

1. I HATE SELF APPRAISALS. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE. DID I MENTION HATE?

2. I HATE THAT I NEVER GET TOGETHER WITH MY LOCAL FRIENDS (FORMER COWORKERS) UNLESS I PLAN SOMETHING. I'M NOT AN EXTROVERTED PARTY PLANNER. WHY IN THE HELL DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO FREAKIN' DO IT???

3. I HATE THE REWARD FOR DOING A GOOD JOB IS MORE WORK PILED ON. I WAS VOLUNTOLD TO HELP PLAN THE STUPID DAY-LONG SEMINAR ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON (WHICH IS ALREADY TAKING 125% OF MY TIME).

1. I REALLY MISS HAVING MY MOM AROUND TO
LISTEN TO ME AND GIVE ME GOOD ADVICE AND A REALITY CHECK IF I NEED ONE. I FEEL SO BOTTLED UP.

2. I AM GLAD MY DAD IS SO HAPPY WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND BUT IT RAISES STRONG VISCERAL FEELINGS OF PROTECTIVENESS/DEFENSIVENESS TOWARDS MY (DECEASED) MOM WHEN HE GOES ON AND ON TO ME ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL SHE IS. I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THAT.

3. LAYOFFS AT MY COMPANY. HOPING I DON'T GET THE AX.

1. MY FRIENDS ARE LIKE CHANGE YOUR HAIR! WEAR EARRINGS THAT I LIKE, NOT ONES THAT YOU LIKE! THAT'S AN UGLY TOP! OK, THEN DON'T COME CRYING TO ME WHEN GUYS DON'T LIKE YOU. GUYS I KNOW, FROM WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME, ARE NOT GOING TO REJECT ME BECAUSE MY EARRINGS BEND THIS WAY, AND NOT THAT WAY!

2. I HATE THE HOLIDAYS WITH THE PASSION OF A THOUSAND FIREY SUNS.

3. I REALLY MISS HAVING MY DAD AROUND TO LISTEN TO ME AND GIVE ME GOOD ADVICE AND A REALITY CHECK IF I NEED ONE. I FEEL SO BOTTLED UP.

1. MY LEFT EYE IS WORSE, THE ONE I HAD THE SMALL STROKE IN BACK IN SEPTEMBER -- JUST SUDDENLY COULDN''T SEE (ALL BLURRY) -- AND THE HOPE WAS IT WOULD CLEAR ON ITS OWN, BUT IT'S NOT, AND THE DOCTOR WANTS TO TRY INJECTIONS, IN MY EYEBALL! AAAAAHHHHHHH!

2. CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT. TOO TIRED TO EXERCISE. TOO TIRED, PERIOD. BLOOD PRESSURE'S STILL TOO HIGH. THEY WANT TO EVALUATE ME FOR SLEEP APNEA, FOR THE ARRYTHMIA. NOT SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT THAT. I NEED DENTAL WORK, BUT I CAN'T GO OFF THE BLOOD THINNER YET, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY OR TWO. SUCKS GETTING OLD.

3. NEEDLE IN MY EYE! AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
