My mood. I've had a great day other than waking up about a half hour late and having to sign in at the office for being 3 minutes late, yet I feel terrible.

Oh my god my thoughts exactly. I also wanted Burnout 3 and I can't remember the other one I wanted. I think it was Grand Theft Auto San Andreas but I dunno... That's gonna bug me now.

I want NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona but they won't put it on the store!!!

Edit: oops double post
 
Accidentally knocked over the Lasko fan in my room. :grumpy: (Look it up) Now there's dust all over the floor and various items on that side. Also a piece just fell out when I opened the fan up. :sick: I hope it's not broken. It was working after I knocked it over, it was actually running when I hit it and was still running but my mom was all cautious and said not to use it. :grumpy: I want to turn it on again just to see, but it's past 11, everyone is asleep, and pressing buttons on this thing makes loud beeping noises. Especially when turning it on or off. It's really grinding my gears, I like my cool air circulating throughout my room. :( Why must I slip when getting off my bed? :(
 
When a GT5 seasonal event comes out, and it ends up being just like something you have already spent hours doing in the game
 
Turned it back on anyways. :D It works, though, it has a deep vibrating thing to it. What to do... Though, it's still grinding my gears because I still haven't cleaned up the mess. And oh! It's all over my headphones/earphones. :grumpy: Plus my PS2 controller! :(
 
Why do people worry about a PS2 controller when they have a PS3? :confused: That's like worrying about a Sega Genesis controller when you have a Dreamcast :lol:. What grinds my gears? My lack of privacy. When my bedroom door is closed, the least you could do is knock and give me a minute before you barge in. :grumpy:
 
Hey! Some people still like to enjoy games such as Gran Turismo 3 and any of the games in the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series on the PS2! Like myself.
 
Ah, my parents backed out of their promise of getting me an Xbox 360 for Christmas if I could find one under $150, so I found one and they said NO. For me, its just that today's games are so innovative, immerse, and high-quality that I wouldn't go back to my old console games (except GT1 or GT2) because they aren't as good. I just wish people would keep their promises to me, because I get my hopes up and always get screwed over. Like my Uncle promised he would buy me a computer for my birthday 2 years ago, I was the happiest guy in the world. Then he never talked to me again, and I felt terrible for him lying, and me believing him. It always happens and everytime it does, my self-esteem goes even lower. I almost died when I was under a year old, and a great doctor saved my life. There are times I wonder if I was worth it.
 
Going with people mispronouncing car names. I've heard people say Caterham as Cat er ham rather than Cat er im. Plymouth Pluy Mouth rather than Pli mith. Renault as Ren alt. Peugeot as Pe u ge ot. And lastly, Shev ro let, rather than Shevrolae. :grumpy: It's so annoying!
 
Using the phone and I can't edit my last post :grumpy:. The last part was about my wondering about my life in general, not about not having the latest game system.

The words of cold blooded killer... :eek:
 
Hey, I don't get paid to think, I get paid to dr... I've said too much :scared:. No, I do watch a lot of Criminal Minds though: because I find the mind-frame, and the state of mind a murderer must be in to commit his or her's crimes fascinating.

You have to keep in mind that murderers and serial killers are not the same.

It's very easy, if you have the mentality, to stab or shoot someone to kill them for revenge or in self defence but to plan in advance, cold blooded, meticulously how you will off someone and cover your tracks? Now that is fascinating.
 
In that case, I agree. Serial killers, successful ones anyway, are a very interesting subject to study.
 
Now, would you say that successful serial killers are the ones that get caught or the ones that get away. I always thought that there was a need to be stopped/caught for many of them, in which case the successful ones are those in prison or dead.

Happy times. :D

Many of them feel as if its a game, they walk the line, and eventually go too far (as if the serial killing in the first place wasn't over the line) and get caught. Though many just get bored of it when they become too good.

Likewise. I find books/movies/songs about serial killers fascinating. I myself have been obsessed about the Zodiac killer for years. And I mean before the film came out. Which leads me to my next point.

I think the most successful ones are the ones that get away. After decades, countless suspects across California and DNA testing (even on exhumed corpses) the Zodiac has never been caught. I have my favourite suspect, Arthur Leigh Allen, but a lot of evidence has ruled him out.

The way the letters "coincidentally" stopped when he was in prison and started back after his release, the way he wore a zodiac watch, the fact that he can be placed near the scene of just about every murder. For example, the Zodiac killed someone in Fresno, where was Allen? Fresno. San Francisco, where was Allen? San Francisco. I have no doubt that he was involved to some extent. What I don't know is whether he was the only one. If he wasn't, did he cooperate with someone or was there an unaffiliated copycat?

He was also discounted on his handwriting, although people close to him claimed he was ambidextrous.

The case is still being investigated today, although it is on the back burner. Allen's body was exhumed to test for dna evidence on an envelope that one of the Zodiac's letters were sent in. It didn't match his DNA. But is it that unlikely that a serial killer may hand a letter to someone and ask them to lick the envelope?

Edit: Before getting back on topic, here is one of my favourite songs.

You've got me intrigued now lol.
 
My crappy phone. In what was most likely an effort to make a few extra &#8364;/$/£, my phone needs a special adaptor if you want to plug in your headphones. I'm now onto my 3rd adaptor, and that's on its last legs. A replacement will cost &#8364;20. :mad:

I had that same problem with my old Sony Ericsson. It was a pain. The ones that came with the phone didn't last long. Shortly after, a friend gave me another pair. After vowing to look after them, they didn't last very long.

Gave up after that.
 
My dad told me he got news from the insurance company that they can't fix the car. This car being a Dodge SRT4 ACR. :( Hit in the front left fender by a 🤬 Range Rover. Think I'll make a thread and post pictures of it later...
I loved that little car. :(
 
My bad ideas, while walking home from school, I thought it would be a good idea to walk onto a snow bank the plow truck made. Unfortunately it wasn't strong enough and I'm now covered in snow.
