What the shit?

SERIOUSLY

         

Clean me

[E.O.T.]

0.K.

          recently i've been hankerin fer a hunk a family feudin thread, to do some cut-up fun/ splicing/ re-arrangement writing fun. cuz i enjoy that. but i'm bummed because this lacks the piss n vinegar to go the necessary two dozen pages to make that kinda writing project fun.

REALLY

          the only folks who bitch and whine like what the OP is after, are the folks who pretty much hold the board together while all the change comes n goes. You, NIGEL, of all people (!!!) ought to understand the need for crabby senseless aggressive meltdowns. it never goes anywhere, everyone tries to figure it out, it morphs a little and then it turns into soft porn. hotel principiadiscordia.

INITIALLY

          i thought the OP was meant to be ironic. because it's bitching about bitching.

[E.O.T.]

DID

          you notice that the first part of my previous post mentions the word 'fun' three times?

THERE'S

          no place like home

LESS OF THAT GNOME SHIT THSI TIME!

HE'S MAH WOMP GIMP, HE LOOOOVES IT.

I was going to just leave, but I have too many things going on here right now, so I can't.

So this is to address Nigel, and all of her knowledge of me and what I do all day.

Yes, I do post things in OB, and for the most part try to make light of my issues. Here's what I don't say. I have time block losses. About 25% of the time I have to go back and see exactly what I posted. These are a result of the medications. I also have several mini seizures every day.

And while in your words I am sitting here doing nothing all day, I am actually writing my book, cleaning the house, paying bills, going to the store, taking care of 4 animals, preparing meals and any other number of things that come up during the day.

I can hardly move because of the constant pain. It requires a great deal of work to maintain my concentration level at the point where I can function.

As far as my collecting unemployment, yes I do. What choice do I have? I expect disability to be approved any time. Again, what choice do I have? You are the one who chose to be self employed, so don't blame me for it. Sorry your life is so shitty.

I had to deal with that when I was self employed.

I expect you to go all fucking emo about this post so have at it. I have removed you from my fb friend list and I will hereafter completely ignore you here and elsewhere our paths may cross. I don't need this shit in my life right now.

In the future, if you don't like what I say, then ignore it, or don't. Makes no difference to me at all.

But don't think you know anything about me, you don't.

[Adios]

I have removed you from my fb friend list

Oooh.  Cold, man.

Silly, I know, but cutting all ties is cutting all ties.

Oh, for fuck's sake. How clearly can I say, AGAIN, that THIS THREAD IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU?

Jesus fuck. Not about YOU. Do you get it yet? Wake the fuck up. You are not the center of the universe. Stop taking everything I've said, WHICH ISN'T FUCKING ABOUT YOU, and proclaiming that I said it about you. I addressed YOU in another thread. THIS THREAD addresses THE OTHER PEOPLE.

NOT

ABOUT

YOU.

What a fucking ego. And how childish.

[Doktor Howl]

I think we should all fight amongst ourselves, while the fucking monkeys fuck our lives up.

That seems to be the perfect thing to do.

There are no allies anywhere.

"The forum is ruined" because:

1. "You people aren't doing anything awesome, and what you're doing instead is stupid and worthless."

2. "Nobody joined in my thread/project, so you guys are assholes and suck. I'm deleting what I posted and never posting anything again."

3. "It got quiet in here; I guess nobody cares/the board is dead."

GUILTY AS CHARGED, YOUR HONOR.

You and a fuckton of other people. Which is what has sent it skyrocketing to the top of my list of shit that makes me not want to spend what little free time I have here. I know I'm not contributing much of value to the board right now, and I don't even love being told how much I suck because of it. I think that you, Charley, Vexation, and Cramulus have all pulled some variation of one of the peeves on my list in the last couple of months, and you're only the ones whose names I remember off the top of my head. Because I like you guys. Even though Charley apparently hates me because he thinks this thread is just entirely me trying to slyly, indirectly rag on him. Because that's, you know, so ME. Indirect and shit.

I can't speak for any of them, but I'm just prone to losing my shit.  I think I'm just bored these days.

(By "these days", I mean "since 1979".)

But I don't think you suck because you haven't been writing, or anything like that.  You have glass to make, a new-ish BF to be with, and a passel of kids to bring up.  I MISS your writing, but it's not like I PAID for it.

I mean, WTF is this?  Communism? 

As far as anything else I've said or done, just chalk it up to me being an ass.  I seem to have a habit of that.  Or so my daughter says.

I'm glad you're not mad at me!

One of my local friends is pissed at me because I haven't been hanging out with her. She says I'm ignoring her texts and phone calls. I tried to make plans to hang out with her, and she never replied. Another friend thinks that because I told her that I'm not free to go have coffee or chitchat during the day because I need to work, that means I don't want to talk to her anymore.

I'm like, man, yeah, I know I used to have a lot of free time. And money. But I don't anymore, and it sucks. I'm not doing it on purpose.

This seems to be the standard disconnect people have when dealing with the self-employed.  It's also one reason many people fail at being self-employed.  Without a boss to stand over them, they can't make themselves work.

And they assume that your schedule is flexible, though every successful self-employed person I know keeps a fairly rigid schedule, for the very purpose of avoiding excessive procrastination.

So, yeah, do what you gotta do.  I miss having you around as much, and I miss your writing, but you have to take care of business first. 

We'll still be here when your schedule clears.  At least I will.
