Sorry to hear about your cat Jai, hope you find him. My gear grinder is how I don't have any money. I bought a PS3 and just paid the last $20 of it off. I only have $23 and feel so broke. Plus I want a wheel and seat for GT5 so it'll be a while till I save up enough money for one.

That's good! Kids that actually save up money usually have to buy everything themselves because they CAN buy it, but when you have $0.00 most of the time the parents will buy them things out of guilt.

@ilikewaffles11: What are you complaining about? You have a PS3, play it! Plus you have 26 dollars. For crying out loud, I have a PS2 thats starting to run bad and 0 dollars. Yeah I complain about not having this and that and blah blah blah, but when you have this and that yet complain about it, I don't know anymore. And you're not broke. You want to know broke? Talk to my father who is $20000 in debt. That's broke.

Oh Now I feel bad, I do play the crap out of my PS3 if that makes ya feel better. Didn't mean to offend or anything.

@ParkourVeyron I buy pretty much all the stuff I don't really need, IPod, games, PS3. I gotta pay for all them by working with my dad and allowance or what have you. I can't stand the spoiled kids in school whose parents buy them brand new Camaros, yea I'm not joking. I'd be lucky to get a $500 dollar Celica and I'd be happy with it.

Get off the internet for one. :lol: Then see how it goes from there. Get to sleep soon!

Still not asleep. :( And I'm going on and off of my iPhone, boredom keeps me returning.

I see where you're coming from. But we can't judge if Jeremy is right about the Mclaren F1, or any other supercar because we have never driven them ourselves. You're right though, Tiff is a better driver, but Jeremy provides a more entertaining review for the people who don't know much about cars, and just want to be entertained.

James does say very funny stuff, it's just people don't get it because it's too complex for most people that watch Top Gear. So they say he isn't funny. But he is.

True enough.
 
Stupid drivers. Today, after school, a soccer mom in a Buick Enclave decides to get out of the jammed lane that she is in, to join one of the other, clear lanes. So, she makes the wise decision to jump out in front of dad and I, and we're heading 35-40 MPH. Brakes got a good workout there. Dad and I gave the lady a pair of dirty looks at the next stoplight. :dopey:

Holy frickin' crap that's a lot! With that much money you can buy whatever you want! I make $0.00 period and my savings are slowly slipping away. :( Christmas and my birthday are the only times I really receive any gifts, I may get $20 here and there but that's about it.

Yea but I pretty much gotta do everything my parents say at that moment. But still $10 is still a lot and that probably gets me more than working because with school I can only go in for about 2 hours.

I make $0 usually, but I'm lucky, my dad payed me for working for him. I got $80. I get about $100 or so every December because I have my birthday, and Christmas and the family doesn't know what to buy, so it's money. Along with others. I feel damn spoilt now! Thanks unfortunate people. :( :p
 
Lol. What are you talking about $10 a week is $40 a month which is $480 a year. Strippers make that in like half an hour.

You're welcome, now I can go and show this thread to people that say I'm so lucky.
Click to expand...

Maybe you are more lucky than you think. I'm not trying to criticise you or anything, and I have no idea what is going on in your life, but being 'lucky' doesn't necessarily mean being wealthy. Good health, intelligence, friends etc...
Always look at the bright side. Find positives.

Ahah you have $0 and nothing worth value. Who are you hanging with that says you are lucky, the homeless?

No friends. I'm sort-of healthy, and I have clothes and a roof over my head, and a PS3, etc, but no friends.

I don't really "hang" with anybody, it's my family that gives me crap about everything.


I'm saying that in comparison I don't have near as much money or possessions as some people, some people think I have the best life possible, but I'm actually in the middle.

A tenner a week? Jeeeeeez. I only get a tenner a month, and most times my parents forget. Not that I actually buy anything. I just wait for Christmas for anything I want.
Edit: 1500 posts. :D
 
Slow ass loading times. Biggest complaint. All I wanna do is watch a movie and I can't because it takes forever to load. Right now in trying to watch a Chris rock stand up comedy movie and so it's hilarious. You know what makes jokes less funny tho. Having half of it said than having to wait 10min for more to load and hearing the rest.

Shaving ain't so bad. Do it like a game or something. I enjoy shaving. Quite fun actually. :sly:

Nor is it a must, just let it loose & look like a hobo! :)
 
What's Grinding my Gears is not having enough time lately to Grind my Gears here :lol:

Currently, it's flat-pack furniture. Now I have no problem assembling said items (Engineer, both electrical and mechnical) but I do get irritated when I have to re-drill holes and counter-sink bolts that should have been done already! :dunce:

The best one of all was putting the futon together, literally none of the holes lined up! What monkey drilled the holes?! It took an hour to re-drill, and basically re-design the whole chuffing thing! made me rage hard.
 
When a friend asks you and another friend to hang out and you and that other friend have to play a concert so you can't go. :(

I love the cold. I'm not a hot-weather person, I love how the cool breeze feels on my skin when it's 30 or 40 degrees. (F)
 
I hate the hot and the cold. I like it when the temperature sits around 10-15°C.
