You probably need to find a bilingual guinea pig. I find that helps.

BTW we've lost 3 cats in as many years. I've knocked on all our neighbour's doors, even the local meat pie company, but nothing. It's a complete mystery.

I remember one time when I was asleep when I was young. The cat decided that my face was a suitable place to curl up and sleep on. He lay over the length of my face, restricting any breathing capabilities. I woke up with quite a shock! :lol:
 
Hope you find your cat, Jai!

But my major gear-grinder for today is that I found out I have an exam for school on my birthday... at 7PM. :grumpy:

Wonderful.

Nasty.
Exams suck. :(
Most of the time you are asked questions that have no relevance to your course. :lol:

Thing is, I actually like that course (Canadian Democracy in a North American Context) most of the rest of the time! But yeah, I can't stand exams - I'd rather submit an essay or something, because exams are conceptually flawed - they have NO relevance whatsoever to anything you're liable to do in the workplace! It being on my b-day is just icing on the cake...
 
When your plans get turned to 🤬. Bro promised to enter the bowling tournament with me and said he'd put everything aside to do it. So what does he tell me? 'Can't do it, working in Oakville.' Can there ever be a time where things go right? Because the amount of times I get screwed over is too much. I am really going to break something right now. I think I should break a cd player? Yes?

Breaking stuff believe it or not is not a productive way to get rid of frustration, anger, or any kind of stress - it just makes you tired.
Took me a long time with lots of experiences to figure that out.

It's what I do, and if it makes it feel like it goes away, I do it. Becoming tired isn't angry, and I'm always tired anyway, so it's fine by me.

What's currently grinding my gears is that my girlfriend wants me to come to this school play with her. She gets extra credit in english if she goes, and she wants to take me. I hate school plays, this one in particular. It's "Almost Maine", a love story like a soap opera, involving both straight and gay scenes, not sex of course, being school, but I just find films like this almost unbearable. Going to see it on stage is going to suck, but she will be very let down by me if I don't go. The type of thing where she says "it's ok if you don't want to" but she brings it up all the time because she really wants me to go. I might go and just sleep, the auditorium seats are comfy.
 
How there's 3 other people in my class with the same name as me and I get in trouble for 'ignoring the teacher'.

No no no no! If you're going to break something (you shouldn't), don't take out your anger on some poor innocent CD player! :ouch::scared: Breaking audio devices makes me cringe....

But in all seriousness, sorry about the bad breaks. But karma will balance out for you in life - for every bad event that happens something good will occur at some point. As many people before me have said: "Good things come to those who wait."
 
My stupidity grinds my gears. I'm listening to my iPod with headphones, and I just almost freaked out because I couldn't find them. I yam dumm.
 
The fact that I need to get up at 6 tomorrow morning again, repeat the same typical school day over again, deal with the same stuff again, and just have nothing to live for but repetition until summer. Then another repetitive cycle begins. And I should be sleeping...

Ha! Wait until you get a job, then you have the repetition every day and you don't even have the summer break to look forward to.

Bronies grind my gears. How can an adult honestly watch My Little Pony and not feel like a creep? And show their support of the show on a public forum?

👍 👍 👍 👍 strongly agree! I'm sick of all this bronie stuff. It's creepy how a 20-30 year old men like MLP.

Is it wrong to question bronies sexuality?

Well considering they were made for young children, I guess they are genderless(as in 'certain features') , as are most child characters. however, one would assume they are feminine.

:dunce: oops. Well actually it still applies because if the ponies are female then they aren't, well, you know. It's just very creepy. However, if the ponies are male, then that's a different matter altogether.

👍 No problem, we all misunderstand things once in a while.
