Rant, moan, rave and share - for all your chatter, natter, and wildebeest needs
@Seventy- I dunno man… you get to have a really dinky looking car and aeroplane with headlights… Is that really the best of both worlds?
This is my fave weird looking aeroplane: The Edgley Optica …flying eyeball.
So yeah. High school is a fucked up place.Nono, High School is awesome.
Best thing to happen all day. Makes me feel good to be a freak so I don't have to deal with people like that as friends.Those are words of genius! Please immortalise them in the lyrics of your next song in some form (as long as it sounds funny and not emo).

Went to bed after 5 am, got up after 8 am… Need more sleep. -_-
THEN on the topic of the holocaust she said the following (word for word):"I don't get it. I mean like why did they attack the Jews? Why didn't they attack the Americans? I mean like Americans are like greedy and terrible people. We like are greedy and terrible. I mean like attack the Americans, not the Jews. I mean like the Jews are all cute and stuff."Best thing to happen all day. Makes me feel good to be a freak so I don't have to deal with people like that as friends.
However I do have to deal with other people as friends who are a little "off".
That's funny, a girl in my art class said some dumb stuff about the holocaust today too. There are a couple German exchange students in that class. For some reason the topic turned to racism and one of the German guys said something like "I like everyone." She said "Except the jews, right?" I think it was supposed to be funny but then she kept going, about how could anyone ever do that and they should be so ashamed, and so on. I felt bad for the German guys and very embarassed for her.
[spoiler=Rant about disgusting furries]
So I was thinking of hitting a few thrift stores around here to find Pokemon plushies, of which are insanely overpriced on ebay. I go onto /vp/(maximum cancer pokemon board) and the first fucking topic is a guy rubbing his crooked dick all over a Zorua plushy. T_T
What. the. fuck. Now I don't even want to touch my own plushies because who knows if some pedophile went into wal-mart and rubbed his filthy wiener all over my toys hoping some kid would pick them up.
The guy even had a dildo shaped like a fox penis(for real, picture evidence and everything) and said the plushy 'mounted him'. Good god i hate furries so much and i'm pretty sure 99.99% of fox dildo sales are from them. >:[

Day was nice beyond that. Happy valentines day!

But that's not a car as well.

i wish my high school was that awesome.
It takes getting used to, but once you get over the initial hump it's an amazing tool. I have a intous 3 and I really like it. I'v had it for around four years and I've never had any problems with it, besides the drivers needing to be reinstalled, but that's more windows than the tablet.
As for the bamboo, the way I understand it is that the touch is a big touch pad, the pen is like a normal tablet and the pen and touch are both.
That actually makes sense! Thanks :)
I have my volito2 since the end of 2005 (I think they dropped in price then cause Wacom was getting rid of the stock or something since they phased them out pretty quickly afterwards) and right now I do all my inking and coloring on it so I have to start thinking about a new tablet BEFORE this one breaks. Any disaster happening to it means no more comics for a bit!
Speaking of comics…
Two pages inked yesterday, hoping to get three done today (one down, two to go).
the following is a debbie downer. so i will post it in small so no one else will get sad unless they intentionally read it.
one of my friends came out and said he needs some help about suicide. Ever since my dad killed himself (almost 8 years ago) i've found it to be the most selfish thing a person can do. and i take that stance very aggressively. I'm glad he finally admitted it. That's a harder way to deal with your problems, but it's better than leaving your friends alone.

PREACH IT BROTHER!
I whole heartedly agree with you on that for very similarly reasons.
I'm not in a spectacular mood right now. My future father-in-law decided to tell my fiance that he is fat. Now, neither my fiance nor myself are particularly skinny and we could always drop a few pounds, but we are nowhere near as large as the rest of our families. His parents are morbidly obese and my dad and his brothers weigh around 300 lbs each. So it is really a pot calling a kettle black.
The thing that is bothering me is that his morbidly obese dad calling him fat really affected him. For the past two days he has been stressing like an anorexic teenager. And going crazy with exercising and only drinking water.
And now he is starting to bug me too. Telling me to exercise more and what not. Now, I'm not a big exerciser, but I have been steadily loosing weight just from having a bit more self control when it comes to food.
Though I see room for improvement, I'm really confident in my looks and body shape, and don't see the big deal of stressing over it. My wedding dress is already quite a bit looser since I bought it in October and at the rate that I'm loosing weight, it well be comfortable by May.
The main fight that we had was over how I am happy with how I look and I don't want to waste more time than I need stressing about it. I already am a full time Master's student in her last semester planning a wedding. I don't need any more. He took this as me being apathetic. He called me fat several times and left for work totally ignoring me.
Is it so wrong for me to have good self esteem and be content with my body?
I was supposed to go to a pep rally at school today. Instead I just went home early, worked on my history paper for a while, and then ate ice cream cake in the shower.
A very successful afternoon, I think.

Niccea, that situation sounds pretty nuts. Hopefully it's just a little freak-out on the part of your fiance and he'll calm down soon. It sounds to me like you're doing a pretty good job of juggling stuff right now.
Is it so wrong for me to have good self esteem and be content with my body?Yes- you're a woman. That isn't natural. The cosmetic industry, women's magazines, daytime TV, and the dieting industry would collapse overnight is this sort of thing started to spread! o_O
It sounds to me like you're doing a pretty good job of juggling stuff right now.…
In the context of a woman being proud of her body, that line has humorous associations :kitty:
@Niccea- the trouble there is a simple case of projecting one's own problems onto someone else so as to feel better about oneself. The problem with that is it can be contagious: Your chubby father-in-law to be did it to his son, who in turn did it to you. Thank goodness you're immune! ^_^
ate ice cream cake in the shower.Didn't the shower melt the cake?
As for the fight with your fiance, Niccea. I would blame the nerves on that, cause in all honesty nobody has any right calling someone, who's in the process of loosing weight, fat. Before long I expect him to realize what he did and come apologizing.
Also, let him know that when he isn't eating anything, his body goes on starvation mode, which will make him more tired, and burn less energy per day. Also, the body will start preferring to burn muscle over fat. That means that when he finally gets sick of his Nazi diet, and resumes normal eating habits, he's going to gain weight faster then ever, since it takes time for your body to resume normal performance rate.
The best way to loose weight is to eat normally(yet healthy) and exercise. That way he'll build muscle and increase his metabolic rate.
P.S. This little tidbit came from someone who lost over 60lbs in a single year and an additional 30 during the following year. I'm still loosing weight, albeit much slower, since I'm close to my prime weight.
Is it so wrong for me to have good self esteem and be content with my body?Why even ask this? Of course it's wrong. >:[ Have heavily photoshoped glamour mags taught you nothing?
But Ozone is right, he is pretty much projecting onto you. But on the flipside there's nothing wrong with encouraging him by joining his exercising.
Speaking of which i've rode my exercise bike like…5 times since christmas >_>
ate ice cream cake in the shower.Didn't the shower melt the cake?
No. I am an expert at eating in the shower. : )
Also, congrats on the weight loss!
@Skullbie: I actually have an exercise bike at home but I go to the gym and use one there because otherwise I just sit at home all day like "oh yeah I'll do that in an hour…"
I tried riding an exercise bike once as a kid but my fear of falling from stuff made it a rather feakishly terrifying experience, never climbed onto another one since then, heh.
Edit: I seem to be falling into the pace of inking two pages a day. Now if I could both ink the two and then pencil two further pages and do it consistently daily, that'd be amazing.
Well he called and appologized. Partly because I told him I did my exercising after he was gone.
Best part was, during lunch earlier he had drunk water, and he was regretting it at work. He was still really hungry and already wearing down. I'm kinda proud that he resisted the temptation of a Dr. Pepper in favor of water, but I was trying to tell him that a ham sandwich and water simply didn't have the calories to get him through the day.
But yeah. I do understand his concern. I'm at home during dinner time and have a balanced meal. He is stuck going out to eat cause he works from 1 to 11. It should be ok for now.
But, I'm seriously thinking about having a talk with his mom. There are several times when I wish his dad would keep his mouth shut even if he is trying to motivate his son.
I've lost 5 pounds since October just by moving in with his parents.
Well support in these things is always good. My wife is the anti support, I need to change my diet and lose weight. Whenever i try she not only doesn't support me but tempts me with thew things I shouldn't eat and moans when I try to get everyone eating more healthy food.
My will power only goes so far and she's a bad influence.

Eating nothing is just gonna cause his body to shut down. If he's desperate at loosing weight fast, he should find something that's filling yet tasty enough. A bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and couple of hardboiled eggs will give him loads of energy for the day and keep his stomach occupied for a good while. The eggs is a good booster and the oats will slowly release energy over the day. A bag of baby carrots is a tasty snack between meals.

If you guys can make a big enough meals for dinner, then he can take the leftovers with him to work. It's cheaper then going out for lunch and usually healthier (depending on what you had for dinner).
And I'd say no on any kinds of soda. I gave up that crap 2 years ago and haven't regretted it since. Had a glass of soda for Christmas, and that was just because we have a tradition on mixing malt and orange soda for the Christmas dinner, around here.
Also, congrats on the weight loss!Oh, thank you but it's not like it's a recent thing. I've been relatively thin for a year now. Plan on staying that way too.
@Skullbie: I actually have an exercise bike at home but I go to the gym and use one there because otherwise I just sit at home all day like "oh yeah I'll do that in an hour…"
this is similar to the reason i go to the gym in the mornings, instead of afternoon. because then i sit around all day and say "i'll get around to that" but i never do. if i make it a first thing, then i can't avoid it all day.
I'm going to try a new diet. it's going to be hard for me. it's called the caveman diet. my buddy's been on and off the diet for months, and then from january till now, he actually stayed on it (other times were mere days), and he's lost over 15 pounds. I like the idea of it, because i know i need to be cutting breads anyways (my weakness) and it provides me with all the meat i can handle.
