CARCRASH
Why not blame me? I'm feeling left out. :(
Another thing that is annoying me right now is that I am playing Uncharted 2 and I keep getting pit against players that are about 15-20 levels higher than me and I get killed every 5 seconds.

:censored:ing snow grinds my gears. Not sure if my dad will even be able to get home tonight, because the council don't grit any roads round here.
 
My dad took the day off work, he was going to stay home, but he went to his other job...

Friday's Rant!

Where do I start? It was my final day at school today and I brought my guitar in as my band had planned to have band practice which didn't happen, but that's another story. Anyway, my maths teacher agreed that I could play it during lesson as we had nothing else to do. So I went and got an amp from the music department and merrily played it for a little less than 5 minutes, anyway to make a long story short, everybody was complaining that "It's not real music", "It sounds 🤬" and so on. I was asked to put my guitar away, which I declined as I had just got the amplifier which took a while to get and I'm not going to get an amp to play it for less than 5 minutes. She asked again, so I turned the amp off and she said that everyone wanted to listen to "Beyonce" whoever the heck that is. I told her that the amp was turned off and she could play the music, but that "wasn't good enough" apparently. She instructed me to take the guitar amp back, eventually a massive argument between myself, her and some 🤬 students. She told me to leave and not come back into her class, which I accepted. That is what Grinded My Gears today..

If she said didn't come, back, I would've flipped on her. I have no problem giving teachers like that a piece of my mind, so if I were you and ever saw her again I'd tell her exactly what I think.

@Cowboys, I feel for you, I hate putting dogs down, they are a part of the family, but if it needs to be done, so be it.

What's grinding my gears is that after setting up the perfect tune for Monza for the ALMS series race tonight, my mother informs me we'll be going to the poconos for tonight and into tomorrow. Not only will I miss the first race that I see me getting a pole for on one of my favorite tracks (I love the scenery), I won't get to see my girlfriend all weekend again. I haven't hung out with just her in a couple weeks, and in school we can talk for a few minutes between a couple classes and lunch. I'm pretty annoyed.
 
My life in general sucks. Today's example: My parents only allow me to play video games for a total of two hours a week. That's not a typo. Now today I thought I'd be home alone for about 45 minutes, so I fired up GT5, and my dad walked in on me. I'm in trouble, but I personally believe it's his fault. My attitude towards video games is that I have to play them as much as possible, and I think this is because my parents are so restrictive. I feel I always have to maximise my allotted time. It isn't because I was addicted from a young age, because I got my first console just two years ago. Essentially, though, my parents don't understand my emotional needs (hence my feeling of constant depression).

I feel your pain. I'm only allowed at weekends, and only for half an hour on both days.

I was luckily never in your position but I had a friend who was. He was restricted to (I think) 30 minutes to an hour a day. Because of that he ended up trying to play more than me. I'm not sure if he actually played more than me though.
 
My dad TRIED to get me to cut down to an hour a day on playing, but Mom stopped him. :lol: Last year I played the PS3 all the time, now I don't even get on once a week.
 
One of the underlying problems is that my father shows no respect towards me. He treats me like a pile of dirt on the floor. I don't think he has said anything nice to me in the past year. In addition to this, my mom defends him "oh, underneath that he's a nice person," she says. Well how the 🤬 am I supposed to believe that when he treats me like I should be working on either schoolwork or household work every minute of every day! I'm sixteen and he refuses to get me a mobile. I have no social life because my bloody parents try to control my life, and then scold me when I do anything they don't like. They don't realise that I'm depressed because they are the cause. Sorry if this seems long, I'm just feeling really angry and really demoralised right now.

EDIT: My dad just walked into the room, saw my wallet on the coffee table, and asked whose it was. I told him it was mine and he asked if he could have the money.

Hmm I'm going to the Poconos tomorrow.
 
My two weeks away from school for the holidays starts now. That's what's grinding my gears.

That grinds your gears why?

School was arguably the only fun thing to do for me. I don't mind relaxing but I don't want another replication from Thanksgiving. My family doesn't really celebrate Christmas either and I doubt my parents will let us have a Christmas tree and other things.

Sounds to me like you need to tell them. Tell them how you feel.


And that last part, that's just flatout wrong.

Like your thinking. :lol: I had a great teacher for about a month, a couple of years back. His name was Mr. Goonery, and he was the best teacher ever, he didn't have to do work and because we shared the same interests, we spent most of the lesson talking about guitars. 👍

Why can't more teachers be like this. :lol:

No teachers are fun.

Oh really? I could prove you wrong. My Maths teacher for the year just passed, wasn't just a good teacher, but a normal person. :eek: And there wasn't a single class where the class didn't laugh because he was 'picking on people' with his dry sense of humour. I still don't know if he actually knows all the names of the people in the class, he just refers to people as Susan. Some people get special names like, "Girl with no shoes."


:sly:



The numerous times these past few days where I've been up in the ranks in a race in GTL and then boom, I change down into second and there's too much power and the car just spins out. It took me almost 45 minutes to find a setup and get a 1:12 on Mainfeild because the car keeps spinning and it annoys me because there is always some idiot who hits you. When everyone else can get out of the way. :banghead:

I'm in a gated community, so it's very rare that I'll see you, and even so, the Poconos cover a wide range of land.

Yea figured you'd be in a completely different area.

What grinds my gears is how my dad says you feel bad enough to stay home from school but your fine to play PS3? Uhm... Yea I obviously can play even if I feel like crap..
 
From some other thread
I just made a discovery from my past worth sharing. Around 2 - 4 years ago, I was obsessed with a driving simulator called Live For Speed, it was a brilliant game and is still rather popular to this day. I used to always play on a server called [TC]CityDriving. It was a server based upon real road rules, you earned money from driving and had to obey the law, or else you could be fined by the [COP] users. I had so much fun on the server, I wasn't the most civil user though. My account was called 'cooljai' but my LFS username was 'jaio' at the time. There were a lot of rules on the server, such as ones that prohibit wrong way driving and ramming. I used a computer mouse to steer at the time.

Well, I'm back and playing.. The server is really civilised, nobody likes an accident on a cruise server..

Try and guess what happened..

This sausage eating thing is either very innocent or deeply worrying.
