Hey, Windows Vista, you know when I drag a file to a folder, you usually put that file in it? Like you were did with the first three? Yeah? Great, so why the fuck did you suddenly decide that's not how it fucking works?
Also we had to get a new router. It's a piece of shit.

Could be worse. Could be in Wolverhampton.…Ouch.
Had an ex who went to Wolverhampton Uni. Not a nice place to even visit, let alone live in.
I bought a nice 3-bean salad from Tesco yesterday to eat, and although it doesn't expire til tomorrow it's gone bad already :[ No fair.
I apologise on behalf of the whole of retail for your spoiled 3-bean salad. Our sell-by dates are more like… guidelines.
Living in the USA (and the New Jersey Shore) between last week of May (Memorial day) spiking in July and continuing to the first week of September (Labor Day) my neighborhood sounds like downtown Baghdad or Beirut with the constant popping of fireworks.
Since I live at the shore (about a mile from the beach) I see fireworks every weekend.
July 4th was noisy. *pop* *pop* *pop* *bang-bang-bang*
Gunner co-ax troops in the open, fire! (I'd love to show then some real fireworks)
i got a new d-link router. i thought i'd treat myself, seeing as, the old one is 3 years old. it would stop traffic, and occasionally turn of internet connection. also, it wouldnt let my 360 play games online. i could be "logged on" my xbox could see the internet, and recieve, but wouldnt send. i quickly switched back to my old router. (which is also a d-link)
my friend has a wireless other company router. his is doing the same thing.
So the Fourth was great. Except someone decided that instead of my neighborhood just sounding like downtown Baghdad like bravo said, it should actually be downtown Baghdad. So now I've got .22 bullet holes in one of my tires on my car and all over the stop sign down the street. The Asian neighbors got their car totally wasted too, with all the windows blown out and several rounds through the front window into the seats. I have a strong suspicion of who it was, since one of the guys down the street has made his view that all artists are faggots and all Asians are chinks rather well known.
Well. I used to be an addict to soda. Or whatever you may want to call it.
I could drink like, a 2-liter in a matter of a few short hours. And it was getting worse and worse by the day.
So Monday rolls by, and I decide to dump out the rest of the soda I was drinking. And started a 'No soda' diet thing. I've been 'clean' for like, 4 days.
I'd say yesterday was the hardest day so far. I went to a store called Meijer with my friend, and I couldn't find the tea I wanted. So I almost picked up a 2-liter of Mountain Dew. I was so close, you don't even know.
But, luckily, I found the tea in another part of the store, bought it. And I feel I'm a better person for it.
Hopefully I'll see some results soon.
Also, girls these days seem to only want guys that are complete a-holes. Not gonna lie. I did just about everything to get this one girl to like me. I wrote her a poem, gave her MANY compliments, but nothing seems to work.
And I'm still not able to draw my comic. I need to do more scripting and such. And I'm very impatient when it comes to that. I'd much rather just start the first page, rather than script. But I think it'll make for a better comic.
Phew. That's it.
lba, you live on another planet to me. The closest we come to that where I live is the whatever-the-hell they do at night at the special forces (S.A.S.) base down the road. Sometimes with a lot of noise and helicopters. But if you ask them apparently it was either nothing at all or it was someone else entirely…

Why do people meet up in pubs? Or; why do pubs suck so much? Ok, you meet in pubs because it's neutral ground, there's often a bit of atmosphere, and there's drink to lubricate the social wheels. The trouble is that being social involves verbal communication, and at night pubs seem infested with music broadcast at just the right frequency so as to make verbal communication almost completely impossible, unless you want to spend the night shouting, lip-reading, or cupping your year and repeatedly asking "eh?" like some annoying cartoon grandfather…
…I think it's the fault of the ***king imbecile sitting there with his sound system. He doesn't realise that people don't give a crap about his inane taste in music, they're there to chat to each other. If they wanted to listen to a bunch of old CDs they'd bloody well have stayed at home where it was warm. >_<

Asshole means guys who aren't you, in this case?

Not necessarily. I'm saying most of the guys that girls go for at my school, ARE a-holes.
But I know I am not an a-hole. Considering almost every girl I talk to at my school says I'm really sweet.
:P
I'm really worried that my best friend is going to get sent to a group home. She's not even a bad kid, but apparently after she freaked out on her mom one night(her mother is very controlling, and my friend is kind of a free spirit), these people came over to talk to her about the possibility. She says she doesn't think it's going to happen, but I'm worried about her all the same. We do some stuff that adults don't tend to condone in teenagers sometimes, but nothing that should get her sent into a group home.
Also, my dad is really ticked off at me right now, which is never good. Ever since my older sister moved out, he's really the only person in my house I can talk to or stand to be around.
Randomly off topic, or whatever… As always. What the hell happened? This site has changed, and I'm sure someone, some where along the line has posted something equally retarded. But WTF? I must have been a sleep for a very long time!
I've noticed that D.D. or whom ever runs this now has added more bling then what I was used to. And the support for the bigger, badder, money making comics has increased to an all time high. Whatever happened to the support of the random comics?
It's sad to see that someone's making money off artist's that are most likely starving, and putting their heart and soul into something that doesn't get supported.
Insurance companies. 28 june 2008, I black-out and roll my beloved car of 9 years(I put 103,000 miles on my little Purple Saturn. RIP)
Now I have to go to about four doctors and get painful tests. For the first ten days I can go anywhere and see anyone without pre-certification. HA! Even in the USA getting a specialist doctor to see you within 10 days is impossible. Then I can't drive until I know what the hell is wrong with me. I have constant migraine headaches and random dizziness (that started before the accident, now it's non-stop)
And to top it off someone at the accident stole my sunglasses. :)
Thank God I can always see the irony and humor in everything because with all this I just have got to laugh. Imagine dealing with a doctor's secretary who is best described as a "box of rocks". I was laughing so hard. :)
And the unit I was in for 11 years just deployed to Iraq. Another car accident took me out of the military but I'd still rather be with them.
FIDO.
Here in the states, I've started to hear a new crop of Public Service Radio Announcements on the progressive radio station, for when the Radio station didn't sell an ad time slot. They all start with "In times like these…." and go on to list all the things all the things to look for and do, when terrorists or insane people invade your work place, or when terrorists or insane people invade your kid's school, or if you are walking in a parking lot, etc.
We are coming up on an election in the fall, the ads, in opinion, are just scare mongering for the conservative administration. They should end with "…Be very very VERY afraid, at ALL times. Remember, vote Republican, or you and your kids will die."
The PSA irritate me big time.
I'll probably seriously regret posting this, but…I really REALLY need to vent somewhere so…
I am so tired of my dad being an alcoholic. About oh, at least seven years straight (if not more) now he's done it, with vodka and whiskey mainly. He ALWAYS gets confronted by family about this…but it doesn't stop him. He's sort of tried to quit from time to time…but always immediately relapses. To top it off he has heart disease and had another heart surgery only a few years ago, and this is absolutely the worst thing he can do. I don't even know if he can REALLY quit now without killing himself.
Nowadays it's a rarity to seem him sober. It makes me so miserable seeing him like that all the time, I don't want his life to end that way, he is such a great man…
@freefall_drift - something to ask yourself:
"Who is gonna benefit if you believe in that? What will happen to me if I believe in that?"
These radio stations can be fear mongers. Its really good to double-check the information. But sometimes, double-checking the info makes it even scarier. Alex Jones predicted 9-11. Alex Jones predicted all these increases in the oil price per barrel. Alex Jones had the guts to cover Bilderberg 2008. Alex Jones isn't perfect and there are things I disagree with him on. But he sure has more credibility than mainstream media.
@SarahN - if I were you I'd put that in a comic. Seriously. Some of the stuff I put out in my comics are based on actual events (though exaggerated anywhere from 10 - 200% for entertainment value). Its a stress reliever. Trust me. God knows what I could have done if I didnt have webcomics as an outlet. :( But if ever you feel ashamed of putting that shit out here for fear that some know-it-all jerkoff might diss you for it, just pm me ok. I can take it.
@Skullbie - most often, alcoholics chug that stuff down because they think they're trying to solve a problem. Face it. Alcohol gives you that temporary "high" feeling where your inhibitions are completely gone. Where you cease to think rationally and just feel like laughing for no reason. The temporary laughter makes you feel good. And the alcoholic makes the mistake that the more alcohol they drink, the better they'd feel.
But here's the thing. When I take 2-3 shots I feel elated and happy. 4-5 I'm kinda losing it. More than that I just wanna cry for no reason. Alcohol messes up your brain. Now I understand why the Muslims banned it. I'm staying away from that shit. No more destroyers of my body. :)
Ha, Alcohol never depresses me. I'm just happy and… wobbly. Emotionally it doesn't do much, unless it adds bubbliness to my happiness :)
The next day is the reason I don't drink much. Hangovers are bad enough without them triggering my migraines. No thanks. -_-
the last time i drank was in vegas. i drank 3/4 of a bottle of jack. (from what i heard, nearly 1/2 was straight jack as i didnt mix it with coke like i normally do) i had to work the next day. i may have gotten 12 hours of sleep (or 15 hours of time that i dont remember) but the next day wasnt worth it. especially with my job. it made me so sick, that i havent drank since june 2. at all….
I'm honestly kind of afraid of alcohol. I don't know if alcoholism can run in your family, but it seems like mine has had more than its fair share of alcoholics. Two uncles, my grandfather, my grandma(rip), a couple of my mom's cousins, and it seems like it's starting all over again with the next generation of our family. It just freaks me out that I won't be able to keep it from happening to myself.
Doesn't matter how many times he's confronted or how close he is to death. He's got to admit he has a problem and needs help.
I know too many alcoholics in recovery for my own good and that's where recovery begins, if not it's liver failure like my father-in-law.
As for me I'm a beer connoissieur and since it's liquid bread, I get full before I get drunk. I like to watch the others get shit-faced, help them to the bathroom so they puke their guts out, then call them a cab, help them stagger aboard and get them home.
Yes alchoholism can run in the family in the sense that your particularly family biology will effect both how strongly it effects you and now easy it is for you to become addicted. So your fears are justified, if you family is easily addicted you might share that trait. Still if you don't drink or drink very, very little then you still won't become an alcoholic obviously.
Although there are no alcoholics in my family I share a similar fear myself and thusly do not drink.
