Things that piss you off
Re: Things that piss you off
If your parents are going to hold you ransom, I think if possible it would be best to look into alternatives, such as having someone else like a grandparent co-sign or getting a straight bank loan. Otherwise you're just using dirty cheddar, and they WILL use every opportunity they can to manipulate you with it.
I was in a similar situation a few years ago; landed an actual office job that wasn't fast food grunt work, and my mother decided that threatening to not let me use the car to go to that job (and therefore losing it) was appropriate punishment. Even though I knew it would eventually blow over, I just straight walked out the second I heard that, ended up in low income housing for a bit, and had my old boss from when I was a waiter drive me to the first day of work and ended up getting a used car the afternoon after my first day. It's a hard road, but was worth it, and definitely would not have been worth risking losing my standing in life based on the whim of another persons mood.

Wooooowwww common cold outta fuckin nowhere
Now not only do I feel like shit but I also can't get the flu shot as I had planned and after this week they'll only barely be available on campus
So I'd have to go to a pharmacy
It stands to reason that I'd go to CVS because my family has a Caremark plan but the nearest CVS is far away from any shuttle stop and I don't have a car nor a full license to drive one
If germs were people I'd become an axe murderer

School internet is slow as balls
Also I really don't want to go to my design class because we're peer-reviewing our WIP projects and I have honestly no clue where I'm going with mine

Also I get it's a school and it's a professional setting but there are dorms that people live in, and sometimes people would like to do what they want, so please stop blocking everything so I don't have to waste cellular data just checking out a NSFW webcomic thanks

Re: Things that piss you off
Had two really good ideas for useable characters, but when I went to write them down, I could only remember one anymore, and it's still not coming back to me.
Re: Things that piss you off
Characters for what, exactly?

Groundwork for a video game I'm working on.

Oh. That stinks. I have a feeling I may run into the same problem at some point.

Welcome to the past 6 years of my life. Except for book/movie/game ideas. And also not actually trying to work on it after about a month.Tatzel wrote:Had two really good ideas for useable characters, but when I went to write them down, I could only remember one anymore, and it's still not coming back to me.
Bonus: the idea for one potential series came to me in a dream. My uncontrollable dream laid out most of things, but actively trying to think it out feels like it gets me nowhere.

Re: Things that piss you off
Went to Gamestop today to buy Smash Bros for 3DS.
They're out, but the lady said the Nintendo Eshop's having a sale, and she can sell me a $35 prepaid card, which should be enough for the game.
Get home.
Input card.
No fucking sale.
Called them back.
"I'm extremely sorry."
Hangs up.
I OFFICIALLY HATE GAMESTOP

Re: Things that piss you off
Never trust people claiming eShop sales before going in and checking yourself. A sale on release day? Highly unlikely.
That woman is nuts though. I would say it was a sales ploy but Smash is more than 35 bucks. Maybe they had to get rid of some stock?

I don't know. Maybe she was thinking of something else. There were 40% off sales going on until yesterday, apparently, but those were for other games.
