― anthony, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

because i have this sucky software that under lines words and links them and i cant get rid of it :(

― chaki, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because I have very bad stomach panes, no DRUGS, lots of work with 'immediates' on it, I am not in bed, I haven't got a new job IN FACT I haf not even applied properly as I am a loser, my room is a mess, I am a slob and extremely poor. I have made my own SAND WITCHES today out of seriously strong cheddar and BRED. Cos I did not get up early enough cos I am a LAZY SLOB I did not even haf enough time to put cucumber in them. And oh my, all I want is cucumber.

― Sarah, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And I haf a SPOT!

― Sarah, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Everyone is ignoring my crappy links threads which means I am going to be forced to try to think of something intelligent and thoughtful to say if I want to get some attention.

Also I am a bit bored & frustrated with my life.

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My job is crappy and I miss my gurl (she's on the other side of the country)

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ditto.

(small potatoes in the bigger scheme of things, course.)

― electric sound of jess, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job I hate my fuckin' job

― dave q, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've just discovered the loss of a tenner. Fucksticks.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cheer up Tom, I'm sure we have at least that down the back of our sofa from when you have slept on it. Well, about 11p anyway.

― Emma, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Same as Tom. And I REALLY want it because I REALLY want to make an Amazon order but I cannot buy the CDs I want if I do not have that $10. Also there is normal teenage melodrama.

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes Maria but exchange rates mean that my loss is 140% of yours! Or something.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

NatWest bastard bank keep whacking charges on my overdraft faster than I can pay it back, so I think I'm going to have to tell them that if they keep this up they'll never see their damn money.

― DG, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes tom but late-20s-vs-teen exchange rate means that maria $10 = worth 100 x yr £10

― mark s, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes, tom, with an average income of about $40 a month, i'm feeling REALLY poor right now. I spent $10 on the movies and then lost $10.

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

TOUGH LUCK Maria that's capitalism for ya. The market values your worthless teen labour well below my hem hem internet analysis. ;)

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because L likes me but thinks I'm a psychopath cos of what I said last week.

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(deservedly so)

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah but I only work like 2 hours a week babysitting and you have to work all the time, and everything else I beg off my parents, so I've got it good!

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am sad because I am TRAPPED in the apartment due to very scary ice storm.

― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I WANT AN ICE STORM. We only have [*looks out window to check* BLIMEY CHARLZOR, is that RickyT? No, obviously not] fog. And crap rain that you don't even notice apart from the ripples in the puddles.

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd be willing to trade, Graham! You might end up like that Tobey McGuire in the movie though.

― Nicole, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

and you have to work all the time

The evidence of these boards suggests otherwise.

― Tom, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want to watch the world in slow motion.

― jel, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jel do you mean like the FINDUS advert where blonde mingy LAYDIEZ eat some mingy low fat cruddy noodle swiz for food in slow motion? I think that advert is PANTS and if life was like it I would have to END IT!

Although I would be sadder if I was the ahem NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN BABY being born to a Puegot driver in the middle of nowhere - ha obv Papworth General is not good enough for Puegot drivers who like to deliver babies in random HUTS. Watch out for that cactus! Bloody hell mother could you not get to a maternity unit? What if I was premature?? What if I died due to lack of decent medical care and instead of the driver of the car trying to deliver the baby DRIVING THE MOTHER TO HOSPITAL!!! (I assume he is car driver as he is the person out of place in this scene) MORONG!

― Sarah, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

He he! No...like the Berlin song! :)

Maybe, I'd like to watch the world in super fast motion, where all the lights are blurred and the sun sets and rises in an instant. Yeah, that'd be better.

I'm more vaguely annoyed about things than sad.

― jel, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am in the sort of mood whereby I shall probably sit in bed and listen to built to spill songs. I am going to eat my biscuits now.

― jel, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

because it's hot

― goeff, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ice storms? See, how many times do I have to say that I'm not in the Midwest for a reason? ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That guy really did look like RickyT. He's gone now.

― Graham, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Perhaps slow motion in a kind of Steve Austen sort of way - you know when he goes all bionic get the Da dee dee DAAAAH! music.

― misterjones, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ice storm = no school for me. which should be under the happy board. but i am sad because i remembered that i do go to school which means i do a lot more than 2 hours of work a week and for what reward? knowledge? pah, i don't care about your bloody precalculus, if i could skip first period every day i would.

― Maria, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

built to spill, jel? do not be sad, for you have great taste. much like meself.

― nickie, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

blimey now i am imagining being stuck on the Ilford-Liverpool St train in an ice storm like Tobey (arrrgh) Maguire. the thought has not improved my mood.

― katie, Thursday, 31 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I miss my friends.

― rainy, Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

me too.

― N., Friday, 1 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...

cos yesterday i crashed my car into another car. and then later that day my best friend got his new car taken from him at gunpoint. and now getting access to the computers at university is gonna cost me R4000. but today i enjoyed being justifiably sulky and uncommunicative to people i didnt really want to talk to.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Friday, 14 February 2003 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I am not working. i am lonely. i somehow thought i would not be sad on v day and now i am. :-(

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 14 February 2003 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm worrying myself sick over things I have no control over.

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 14 February 2003 20:38 (twenty-three years ago)

(ah that totally sucks mitch!)

I was feeling for a moment, but then I remembered that I made plans for the weekend to meet friends, so it's good.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 14 February 2003 20:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Happy 16th anniversary to me.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 14 February 2003 21:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Aww Aaron I hope you feel better :) I worked one V_Day at Olsson's--trying to pick out Rilke love poetry for a 16 yr old --to give to her beau.

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 15 February 2003 04:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Helplessness makes me sad. I'm sad cos electric sound of jim's amp got stolen, and I can't make it re-appear like magic :( I'm sad cos a friend of mine whose plans revolved around uni didn't get in, so now he has to go back interstate. I wish I had a solution to everyone I love's problems, and I don't, and that sometimes makes me sad...

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 15 February 2003 04:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Mary i saw a film and I feel better. thanks.
I hope everyone else has gotten some rest and maybe feels a little bit better than when they posted :-)

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Saturday, 15 February 2003 06:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to post to this thread right now but I can't, at this moment i am filled with positive optimism

I'll be here soon enough, though. However right now I feel like no problem can hold me back from smiling, and even though I've never had an SO, i'm quite glad that I don't have to spend any money on anyone else on V-day, as I'm broke.

― Vic (Vic), Saturday, 15 February 2003 07:09 (twenty-three years ago)

because I'm getting increasingly frustrated at work, not at the day-to-day stuff which i still enjoy, but with the fact that I have applied for five internal positions over the course of the last two and a half years and not got any of them, no-one else in my dept. has been able to move onwards and upwards either and I get things said to me like "well, if you can't get these other positions, what's the point of *us* trying?" which is all very flattering but not exactly helpful and the whole business of looking elsewhere which i've now embarked upon is INCREDIBLY stressful, as it involves taking time off for interviews but deceiving ppl into thinking I'm going shopping ect ect and it EATS INTO MY LEAVE which I need for my holidays, and I'm getting pressure from gf/friends/landlord/EVERYONE to get a move on and find something else, w/ comments like "Oooh, you should be earning far more at your age!" and.........

AAAAAARRGHH!

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 15 February 2003 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

because i did a bad thing (in addition to the one mentioned upthread) and it's coming back to me in a horrible and possibly expensive way and FUCK SHIT FUCK this has been a lousy week.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 16 February 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

besides, in addition to what I've said above, I rather hoped that this would be the employer where I could actually make a go of it, stay a decent amount of time and pay into the pension scheme and actually make a career of it. It's coming up on two and a half years, which is odd, because I was made redudant after 2 and a half years at my previous employer and the one before that. I'd have few reservations abt moving if it wasn't for the pensions issue. At my last employer, I was paying into a scheme and then was told that I couldn't transfer the money across into the scheme I'm in at the moment, which annoyed me intensely.

― MarkH (MarkH), Sunday, 16 February 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(i just want to shut everything off and curl up into fetal position. but i need to SEE TO THINGS. i need to apologize my heart, eyes and mouth dry. i need to start receiving paychecks and handing them over to people. i need a BETTER WEEK.)

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 16 February 2003 16:03 (twenty-three years ago)

i am too sad to write about why, but this could possibly be the saddest i have felt for a very very long time.

― donna (donna), Sunday, 16 February 2003 20:01 (twenty-three years ago)

i realised i stopped saying nice things to ppl i liked on ile's cheer-me-up threads

i don't know why tho — perhaps it's the war

― mark s (mark s), Sunday, 16 February 2003 23:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Because I'm bored at having to stay at home all day because of the snow. Because I'm deeply frustrated at not meeting any guys who show the slightest bit of personal interest in me. Because I don't have any sort or regular work, and although I have been getting some interviews, nobody seems to be in a hurry to get back to me.

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 17 February 2003 05:35 (twenty-three years ago)

My closest friend in town has reunited with her bf, so once again she's always busy and we don't talk on the phone at nights much cuz she's always over there.

― Aaron A., Monday, 17 February 2003 05:59 (twenty-three years ago)

i dunno why but i am. everyone seems like they have no time for anyone else anymore. (in general.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 17 February 2003 08:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Because I have spent the last three days with my friend who is distraught over her current relationship, spending as much time as I can with her, listening, sympathizing, just BEING there (which I expect no praise for, I mean, that's what you do for friends, innit?) and tonight, after she asked me to come out with her again and I spent three hours with her listening to MORE OF THE SAME, she dumped me as soon as one of her old boyfriends called and wanted to hang out. I hate friends who only want you when they need something.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 17 February 2003 09:42 (twenty-three years ago)

(no such luck.)

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Monday, 17 February 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

cos i gotta move and i cant find no where to move to in the same town im in ... my job is killing me slowly... my teenager is being very mean all the time, my dog keeps waking me up to take her downstairs at least 2x a night... and my sweetheart has gone back to his home thats 400 kms away. i feel like driving off the tunnel road into the hill

― hellbaby (hellbaby), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:14 (twenty-three years ago)

''i realised i stopped saying nice things to ppl i liked on ile's cheer-me-up threads
i don't know why tho — perhaps it's the war''

don't be sad sinkah...come out to the FAP tomorrow and we'll cheer you up (or at least I'll try). have you heard my tape yet?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:23 (twenty-three years ago)

don't be sad you all. listen to avant garde rub and be happy.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, it's well known happy music, Derek Bailey!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Money makes the world go round/ the world go round/ the world go round/ money makes the world go round/ it makes the world go round.

I saw Caberet at the weekend, which was cause for happiness, but if the song is true then my world has ground to a halt.

Money money money money/ money money money money

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

because masturbation isn't an olympic sport yet

― oops (Oops), Monday, 17 February 2003 21:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know - or maybe I do. It's like a thousand little and big things, starting back in December, and just building ever since. I'm still stunned over the loss of Columbia and her crew; I'm still weeping for my hamster; I'm feeling guilty over my house-plants having died; I'm feeling worried and frustrated and impotent regarding world affairs; I'm missing home; I'm....hmmm...enough of that shit. Really, it's just been an emotional downtrip for the three of us since December, so we don't have each other to cheer us up, as we're all being blue. Yuugg. But we'll survive and laugh and enjoy life again, I'm certain.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 17 February 2003 22:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I just haven't been able to feel any happiness lately. It's probably the combination of war worries and the pain I have been having, I don't know.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I've been enjoying myself but I've not been writing or doing much FT stuff and I feel like I'm completely drifting, which is usually the prelude to misery. Tomorrow I'm going to do as much work on the focus group as I can get away with in the new office and then go to an FAP so that should rank as a 'constructive' day.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I seem to swing between delirious and numb at the moment. Are you ill Nicole?

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:23 (twenty-three years ago)

because at the moment life is one great big goddamn disappointment after another. i suppose i'm finally getting my comeuppance.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:23 (twenty-three years ago)

my life is too routined and robotised for sadness, I am a little pissed off that this week is rag week in college, and also quite tired, but other than that pretty good.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 February 2003 23:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Because I scraped my car off without gloves and spent a very long time (with the help of two strangers) getting my car out to get to work. And then when I talked to my boss on the phone he said he assumed I wouldn't be coming in today. *sigh*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 18 February 2003 15:06 (twenty-three years ago)

seven months pass...

I feel useless today. Absolutely fucking useless. What is the point, really?

― adaml (adaml), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 03:32 (twenty-two years ago)

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 03:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite some creature comforts, the quality of my life is very poor. I have next to no companionship or people to talk to, and don't ever feel anything that could be called pleasure. My ability to interact with other people, discern and understand my own feelings, and even connect with the physical world and my own body are at an all-time low. Surely being out of work going on four months and confronting the emptiness of my life and my own being is some kind of wake-up call; if only I knew what my next step should be, or had the energy to persue it.
