Um, okay. That's all for today, because I'm losing track of what I'm writing, but this was fun. Let's do it again.
Goodie. Aren't we all lucky that SOMEONE'S computer is being a jerk today. It's just the perfect inspiration for another rant!!
COMPUTERS: 2003.01.07
I HATE COMPUTERS!!!! They're evil and jerky machines. I mean, I was having a perfectly decent night, and then AIM goes and signs me off!! I mean, what's that all about?! Now, I have to talk to my friends through email!! And I'm writing this rant!! I wasn't supposed to do another one today!! I was supposed to relax before I went to bed. Now, I'm mad!! And I won't be relaxed!! This is upsetting I tell you!!!
First thing about computers!! They're dumb!!! I mean, they break down because of one measly virus. Okay, who invented viruses anyway?? I know that they weren't made naturally. And you know what else? I bet they came from computer manufacturers. I wonder if I'm the only person that's ever thought of that. I mean, think about it. They know all about computers, and this way, if a computer gets infected with a virus, who would think to blame the manufacturer? Well, that's a good idea, I think. Also, we all know that people built machines so that they break. I mean, it's all about the freaking money in the world. Build a computer to break juuuust after the warranty runs out, just so they don't have to give any money back to the consumer. We all know that. I mean, come on, money, don't even get me started on that.
Another thing. Pop-ups? Sure, they're sort of different from computers, but they still come on computers!! They're just as bad as the telemarketers!!! Actually, they're worse!! The only thing that they don't do is come around dinnertime… well, unless you're eating your dinner at the computer. That would be pathetic though. Anyway, who came up with them?? They're the most annoying thing in the world. I mean, you'll get like 700 pop-ups, just from clicking on one link!! It's the most annoying thing!! And then, in the process of trying to close them all, you'll end up closing the page that you wanted to get to!! And then you'd have to go through all that again. A point that I can make, is that there are some good pop-ups, but only the ones that you can actually make pop up! But, with my pop-up blocker, the ones that you want, don't pop up!! It's annoying!! Now Javascript doesn't even work anymore!! It's aggrevating. And when I want to leave a review at FF.net, I can't!! I have to go through the process of closing down the pop-up blocker, then opening the right page, then going to the right chapter, then pressing the review button!! It's almost a waste of time!! But I feel like I should leave reviews!! But it's almost less time consuming just to go to my email, open it up, and email the author. But then again, what if the author doesn't recognize my email address, and they don't open up my nice review?? That just bothers me.
And again! With the AIM!! That's really pissing me off!! It just signed me off, automatically, no warning whatsoever. Then, when I emailed my friends, it was only me!! No one else is signed off!! They're all still on!! And it's not just AOL or whatever, their AIM is working too. Apparently, one of my friends got some message of error after trying to IM me. I mean, I feel bad, because I just signed off without warning, but not like I can get on to apologize to them because the daggon thing isn't working!!! I even downloaded the newest version, thinking that my old version wasn't working. CRAP!! What if what my stepdad said is true?? What if Comcast really is going to stop supporting AIM?? That would NOT be cool!! That would be as cool as me being infected with Ebola. And that isn't even a funny thought. I like to talk to my friends! Sure, I may be on this blasted machine a lot, but most of the time it's to talk to my friends!! And if I can't do that, what can I do?? I can't spend all my time drawing!! Sure, I could probably write more to my stories, which I haven't done recently (bad me), BUT I WANT TO TALK TO MY FRIENDS!!! MIS AMIGOS!!! You get the point!!!
Let's see what else I can say. Oh yes. This piece of junk that I'm on, it's only like three years old, yet, it acts like its five hundred or something. I hate how technology becomes obsolete so quickly. This thing, it's so slow, and I even have a cable modem!! Another thing. This is only a 9.5 gigabyte computer. I have to delete things all the time. And since I'm the one who's on this thing the most, I get all the blame for all the problems!! I hate that!! And because of that, I haven't downloaded anything in at least the passed 3 weeks or so, besides the new version of AIM, which isn't seeming to work either. My brother, on the other hand, is loading all sorts of games and stuff into this thing, and I think this TAB maker (it's music for guitars and basses) that he just uploaded into the thing made it all messed up again. But no, don't listen to me, IT'S ALWAYS MY FAULT, ANYWAY!!! That upsets me!! I think it would upset anyone!!!
Anyway, I don't think that I should be getting all mad about these things, but I am!! I mean, I like to talk, as you can see by these rants. I wrote these both in the same day. And in not too long a period of time. Anyway, I think this is long enough for now, but I'm sure there can always be supplements added later.
Ai yai yai!! It's another rant!! But what can I say? When something irks me, I get really upset. This time, we're talking about driving.
Driving: 2003.01.08
I am so pissed off at my driver ed. Teacher again. What is it this time you may ask. It's pretty much the same thing. But, you may not know what this thing is, so, let us start from the beginning.
It started halfway through first marking period (for the record, as I write this, it is almost the end of second marking period). I was a normal 15 year old girl, sitting in Driver Education. Then, my teacher calls me up to the front of the class at the end of the period to give my me green card (so I can go driving). Lucky me, I thought. So, the first two times I went driving, it was fine. The next time, it was just a lucky break, and I went when I wasn't scheduled to go. That time, I didn't go with my partner, for she was sick. When she came back, she talked to the teacher, who scheduled her with another one of my friends. TWICE on the same day!! That left me with no driving partner. And since I'm supposed to stalk the guy to get him to schedule me, I'm in deep crap. Why, you ask. Because I never see the guy!! He teaches at another school as well, so he's got to get my class in driving, and teach at that other school.
So, weeks later, I see him. And he tells me that he'll schedule me. I give him my green card so he can, and I don't see him again for another couple weeks. Supposedly, I was supposed to come driving with some of my friends, but I wasn't! So I just observed!! That took care of my observing, and left my timings different. (See, you're supposed to do seven hours of observing, and seven hours of driving) So I had 6 hours of observing done, and three hours of driving done. And that's the way it was left for a long time. And for weeks after that, he told me he'd schedule me! And it didn't happen. So then, he said that he'd have me done before Winter Break. Guess what, folks! It's after Winter Break, and I'm still not done. Here's where it stands: 7 hours of observing, 4 hours of driving. Wonderful, huh?
Monday, I saw my teacher at lunch. That's when I decided to confront him. I walked right up to him, and he was like, "Oh, I heard you wanted to go driving." Being the nice person I am, I just nodded, and didn't say anything. So, he told me to go to the office after lunch, and he'd schedule me. So that's what I did. And I was scheduled for today. Guess what. It didn't happen. He cancelled me for some people that he scheduled AFTER me!!! That was really upsetting. Luckilly for me, he scheduled me again for four periods tomorrow. Hopefully, I drive for at least three of them. Then I can get my Blue Slip (so I can get my permit). Sure, I still can't get my permit until February (neither can some of the other people he's finished that have started after me!!), but I've been driving for so long, that I should be done!! It's at least been a whole marking period that I've been doing so!!! And the thing that irks me the most, is that he's even finished people that he started taking out AFTER me!!! I mean, sure, they may be able to get their permits before me, BUT I WAS DRIVING FIRST!!!! He should finish me right quick, and then get on to them!!!
Ok, and then the next thing that pops up, to make my day even worse, is that the other Driver Ed. Teacher is going to start taking people that haven't even taken the course out driving!!! I mean, this guy, he finished people up really quick!! It's so unnerving, that people are getting done so quickly and here I am still driving.
And these people (and yes, they're younger than me). A lot of them are my friends, and I should be excited for them, but there are still people that need to get finished driving. Or am I just the only one?! I heard that there are other people that need to get done, because they're older, but their grades down support them, so they aren't allowed to go. I can understand that. But it still isn't fair to those of us who actually had to go into the course and wait so that we could drive. These people don't even know stuff about the road!! They haven't taken even one note!! Let alone a test!!
The worst part of it is that I have a real problem with jealousy. And I know it, and I hate it, so I try not to show it. But COME ON!!! These people haven't even taken the course yet, and they're already going to be driving. They'll probably be done even before me!! I mean, I really don't even know how to put into words how much this is upsetting me!! I've told my mom, and she agrees with me! I should be finished!!!
I know my friends will say "you have to find him!! You have to stalk him!" and I always say the same thing! I don't see him! When am I going to be able to find him!! So that's why I took that one opportunity up there.
Ugh, I could go on and on again, but I think I'd just keep repeating myself, saying how it isn't fair! But, I think that I should stop for now. I mean, I hope you people aren't sitting there thinking 'what a brat' I am. But, I truly feel that I'm not being treated fairly about this. And I hope that I've actually made some good points, seeing in relation to how long I've been driving compared to other people.
Ugh, I haven't written one of these in a while, but I was sort of compelled to today.
War Rant – 2003.03.20
What the freak?! I can't believe that our country is now involved in a war. You know, I don't know about the rest of the people in my generation, but I planned not to live during a war!! At least not during my youth. Now that plan is dead, and it's all because of that idiot Bush!! And what's worse, is that we could be dead in like three weeks! How depressing!! I'm so ticked off. I mean, not like it's a little gunfight like the wars were back in the 1700s. No, this one is a NUCLEAR war. We're all going to die of radiation from the freaking bombs that are going to land in our country. Our world is going to be a pathetic wasteland. And it's all because of people. And then they wonder why I say that I hate people. That's why!!!
People are so for affirmative action, they just want all sorts of violence. That is so not the way to go. It's so bloody sick that that's all people think about. Yes. Let's be violent. Let's go kill people. I do NOT want to live in a world like that. Personally, I'd like to get the hell out of America. I'd like to hop on the next plane to Australia, really. No one hates them. But no, since I'm only 15 bloody years old, I have no word in the decisions that go on in my house.
And now, as I said before, we're going to be dead soon. Who knows if I'm right, but if I am, I am going to find Bush, and I'm going to haunt him in his sleep. That's right. I am so opposed to this war, just like at least half of the country. You know, Saddam, he hasn't done crap to the U.S. in years. Give it up, Bush!! We know you love your daddy, and all, but find some other way to get on his good side. Getting him killed isn't going to help you get closer to him.
Okay, I am not the 'Proud American' that everyone says they are. I admit that I'm not. And I know people who are like me. We don't want to say the pledge or whatnot, but you know, we still don't want war. I'm a pacifist, and pretty much everyone that I know, minus one person who is nuts, does not want this war. We're a generation full of kids who just want peace between all the countries in the world. War doesn't help this. But thinking about it, no war won't help it either. Isolation would actually probably be the best solution, but people are so accustomed to the world trades and all that, so isolation couldn't even happen. You know what? This world is just in the pits.
I hate this world that we live in. The people in it suck, and our country is run by an idiot that won't listen to his people. That is horrible. I'm not going to commit suicide or anything to get away from this shit, but you know what, I don't even know what to think. We're in the freaking pits here, and it pisses me off. Not like I can even say anything that could make some sort of difference, so I'm sitting here writing this rant that probably doesn't even make any sense. I'm just making myself angrier by writing this too. I hate this freaking world, and I just want peace. Is that too much to ask????
