Yeah, Paiste is kind of garbage 'til you spend a LOT of money on them.

There was a $300 Paiste ride that sounded like someone was holding on to it was like "ting ting" with no ring, if that makes sense. Ewwwww.
 
My Gears are being Ground by the weather, I window clean for a living and it has rained all morning with high winds, and there is no way i'm going up a ladder in 60mph+ winds!

This means I will possibly be a little short of my target earnings this month, which Grinds my Gears alot.

On another note, I think I have finally got the hang of Black ops, I have played 75hours online but was still getting owned left, right, and center which was Grinding the hell out of my Gears, I mean with that many hours in I should be very good :( But, I have finally sorted my load out and now get around 20 kills and 5-7 deaths on an average Team death match.

For those interested my load out is:
MP5K Rapid fire
RPG
Ghost Pro
Steady Aim Pro
Marathon (working on Pro)
Semtex
Flashbang
Claymore

I think our definitions of 'van' are different. My definition of 'van' is this:

As far as I know, a Golf isn't a van, and neither is a Scirocco, or a GT-R, or a Mini. I'm confused.

I was sorting of saying that towards the Scirroco, but I don't really know much about it.

Hopefully the Golf won't be understeery! :scared: I like Golfs! And Minis too! :p

That's odd, I came back to Black Ops after not playing it two months prior and my win/lose ration went up by .20 and my kill/death went up from 2:55 to 3:11 I think it's at.

On topic what Grinds my Gears is 9th grade, I had so much fun in 7th and 8th grade and now this year comes and just absolutely sucks. I can't freaking take it, it's depressing me and making me sad :(
 
What grinds my gears is that there's a wrapped up electric guitar under the Christmas tree that I gotta stare at for the next 10 days....
 
What's grinding my gears this morning?

There was a random pain on my top lip for the past couple of days, so I tried to see what it was yesterday. No bump, just a small patch of skin that's red and hurts. I think it might've been caused by shaving.

So when I wake up this morning, it's swollen. Now I look like the average soccer mom looking after getting a botox shot. At least it's not noticeable when I close my lips.
 
^Would a lip vitamin stick be good enough for now? It seemed to make it better yesterday.

EDIT: It can't be a cold sore, it doesn't look anything like it. I really don't see anything on my lip, it just feels irritated. Could it have been a shaving irritation spot, and me poking at it caused it to swell? All I know is I hope I don't have herpes. :scared:

Sounds like a cold sore, get some Aciclovir on it.

I had one recently and that stuff didn't work for me. The only thing I've made work is Blistx and lots of patience for it to recede.

No, if it's a cold sore moisture will only encourage it, you need to dry it out.

I don't have herpes. :scared:

It's contagious. You don't have to have it from birth like some of us. You can get it from kissing the wrong girls!!! :lol:
 
I'm in that Auto/Redneck central club again.

No videos, just guys talking about trucks and stuff. :(

Nah mate, me motor can bomb it down to corner faster than Ryan Giggs can climb out of his brother's room down the drainpipe.

Lovely colloquial speak.

I've been in a foul mood today. I'm in one of those moods where anything that marginally annoys you, annoys you tenfold more.

Cliche, and I should stop whinging, but the friend zone... it's a killer. Intolerable.

Friend zone? I'm permanently in every girls friend zone. It sucks.
 
I've got a sore throat, and I keep coughing at random times. Quite frustrating.

I agree, mostly. The Scirocco is, well, ok, but I've never really been interested in it. But the Mini, being a Mini guy, I'm excited about it!

I would've rather had a JCW or Coupe...
 
What grinds my gears is that I should be studying history. Right now.

Since I am posting here I am not studying history.

Me procrastinating grinds my gears as well.

I always procrastinate. Though do you do your best work with a limited amount of time? Because I do. That's why I haven't changed my habits.
 
Do you know what Grinds my Gears?

Better than that dude using gold first letters then bold black for his text to match his pony-idiot avatar.

^That.
 
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH.

Online racing is infuriating. After several races in F12011 where it seems I was the only one who knew how to drive, I decided to try GT5. I'm still new to online, so I keep entering rooms not knowing where to find out what cars should be used.

After being kicked out of one room for classic cars (even though I was using a 69 ford gt), I found a room entitled "nascar". I was happy and joined the room. I got in my Red Bull camry and found the room to be full of french and belgians who were all talking in French over their mics. I went out for a few practice laps after which, I simply asked over text "when does the race start?". I was kicked from the room.


AAAAAAAHHHH
 
^ GT5 online is so frustrating. I usually go for free run rooms at Spa or TGTT, but racing usually doesn't work out well.
 
Is that you getting back at me for making a post about toast after you said it ground your gears? If it is, we're even now.

Do I have a choice?

I mean you could say that I had a choice to study earlier, but I would classify it as more of a mental battle between doing work or not doing work.

I usually loose the battle and all my will to do anything has to retreat to the unconscious part of my mind. Then all that will comes back when I suddenly find out I have a very short amount of time left. Then yeah, I have no choice but to do my best. :scared:
 
Jai grinds my gears because everything & everyone grinds his gears! ;)
