Large meals... hmm, do biscuits and tea count?
Usually I eat around 6 or 7 PM... of course I sometimes fall asleep right after dinner, but my "normal" sleep time is around 10-11 PM... unless I have schoolwork or am otherwise up later.

Yeah, but funnily enough I've adopted some very stereotypically English characteristics... including the accent apparently. Which is strange considering I've only been to England twice. I do go to a British International School which might help explain that
My girlfriend always says that sometimes when I get into a philosophical mood I'm like a female version of Giles (if you ever watched Buffy you'll know who I'm talking about) and that I start to speak like a ninety year old. Not sure whether to be insulted by that or not, but oh well
I guess I'm just a bit eccentric that way.

I got a rant!!!
Months ago my sister and mom bucked heads (It was mostly my sisters fault) over this boyfriend and my sister got sent to my dad. My dad hopes that she finish school and whatnot before trying to run off with this boyfriend who got her pregnant by the way with my niece. The boyfriend to put it simple is a wannabe nigga with 2 babies on 2 different girls (My sis and another girl) Who likes to spend money on stupid shit like cars and right now he and another guy are trying to pay for a 2000 a month condo and not to mention he has anger issues. My sister has been planning for a while to leave home and go with the boyfriend but she told my dad that she would graduate first but then my dad found out from a co worker who told the boss at my sisters job about her plan to leave in February without graduating (My sister has a big mouth and tells her shit to people who she doesn't need to tell) So my dad wants to send her back now for something that me and my mom has warned him about for 3 months.
Not only do I feel like he is dumping my sister on us again because she won't do shit his way because he is being a big baby (I'am pissed at him). But the real person I'am pissed off the most at is my sister because This wouldn't have happened if not for her big ass mouth. 1 month ago my sister told this girlfriend of hers something private and then the girl told her mom who worked with my mom and told her and so I already warned her about this and she won't fucking listen!!! Boy crazy idiot!!!!
My dad tells me that he will send money to take care of alana (My niece) because he doesn't trust my sister because she might give the money to the boyfriend. I mean he doesn't get along with my mom and he distrusts and is pretty much done with my sister.
So.............. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

The time is artificially limited because most of it is taken up by school, and this is the only thing that makes it valuable. If you're always tired, maybe you should sleep. Don't doctors often recommend that sick people stay in bed?
Unfortunately, you can't do that because you need to work so that you don't fail at life!

I suspect you're right, and I have realised this too... but sleeping too much (and therefore missing school on occasion) has consequences for me, since as long as I am under someone else's authority, I cannot truly be free... and yeah, therefore I need to complete my school work, whether I feel sick or not, or else I have to face the unpleasant consequences. I do not so much care what happens to me, as much as I care how it affects other people. I already have a very strained relationship with my father, and most of my friends (who simply do not understand me and my actions), and I'd rather not worsen this if I can avoid it. It hurts me more when I see other people hurt by my actions than if I am hurt by them directly.

When would you stop caring? My father doesn't beat me; he just yells at me and gets really angry, but the fear that it creates must be similar to that that beating me would create.Will Wrote:Oceanfall Wrote:-I sleep too much overall, therefore wasting valuable time.

My father has a really explosive temper, so yeah, he does yell at me a lot, and has, on occasion, even physically struck me. But he always comes back and apologises when he does so, and I know how much stress he himself is under. His brother recently committed suicide, and his sister died in a coma a few months before that. He also continues to support my mother, both financially and emotionally, even though she has done some unforgivable things in her time. I have seen him break down into tears when he thought that no one was watching, and even though I feel like I hate him at times, I cannot bear to cause him any more pain. He honestly thinks that I am harming myself by acting as I do, and since he does care about me, it hurts him to see this. Maybe I am just too emotional, but I cannot forget all the sacrifices he has made for me, all the little things he has done for me, and all the times we had together, especially when I was younger. I just wish I could somehow make him understand that I am not trying to cause him pain, but that I am trying to avoid pain for myself... but every time I start to explain myself to him, he comes back to the same point, and so I'm stuck in a seemingly never-ending cycle which just appears to get worse and worse over time.

Try writing it to him in a letter... you're pretty good at explaining yourself in writing, so as long as he reads the whole thing, it might get through to him.

Ugh...it's almost impossible to keep my mouth shut on this matter, I swear. So we're all at the Grandma's house on my Mom's side of the family, sort of the magnet area for a family reunion around holidays. And every time in between I sort of forget about the matter but every time we get together again and I see it, I start to get furious.
I have this Aunt and Uncle...they have two little boys about two years apart. And the Mom is just one of the greatest most caring people I know, and sometimes the Dad is a good guy to have around...but more often than not he's just an explosive asshole around his kids. His patience is in short measure and while he's never violent with them, I really have to classify his actions as emotional abuse. I wasn't sure at first because my Mom was so gentle with us that at first I thought it might be an alternative parenting style. But different or not, he's not healthy and he doesn't treat his kids or his wife right! And all the cousins watch it, as well as all the other Aunts and Uncles but none of us say a goddamn thing! I mean I felt like I was hoarding his kids all day to try and keep them away from him. But even then they're kind of bratty and I can tell their behavior is because of how he treats them. It's just...ugh. No, I'm not the best person with kids. But I do have this intensely maternal side of me that just wants to rear its head and steal the kids out of his care and take them where nothing can hurt them.
I just...I hate that no one talks about it. And I hate that I can't say anything. Childhood development is crucial. You raise a kid to be spoiled, he'll be spoiled. You raise a kid to be scared, he'll be violent and paranoid. Doesn't anyone get that? There's this whole argument about nurture vs. nature and I'm willing to bet that nurture plays the larger part. I'm also willing to bet that the larger part of nurture is established before they even get to school! I just...ugh...
I'm done.

Fuck the government.
Fuck it hard up the ass and with a broom. Bristle side inward the ass. The government is a lying piece of crap. 9/11 was an inside job, and wasn't a work by terrorists. We're now at war because of this; people are dying at extreme rates in the Middle East; among those are our troops forced into Iraq by Bush, the same troops that'd rather die for our nation. If they knew why they were really in Iraq, would they want to continue dying?

This isn't so much a rant as it is a bitchfest. Tomorrow I have to act in a play my theater class is putting on. We started preparing for this play on Monday. So we had a week to work. So far it looks DISMAL. The stagehands can't seem to do what they need to do, the vast majority of the actors can't remember their lines. I'm hiding behind a fucking table half the play whispering people their OWN lines. Lighting is FUBAR due to an assload of lights being broken. Plus, when people fuck up, they freeze, like a deer in fucking headlights. I do NOT want to end up ad libbing the entire play, like I did during today's little practice. Plus a number of the actors don't even know their cues. It's just so damn frustrating. I've got my shit together, but a lot of these people can't seem to at least carry their own weight. I play a guy named Fishbait who sits behind a table for half the play, runs around as a ghost in a bedsheet, then has one monologue, and a few other lines. I'm not a major character. I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SPEAKING HALF THE LINES OF THE ENTIRE PLAY.

Rest of your life?
If you kill a large amount of people, there's no other choice but to kill yourself, the "rest of your life" would be until the end of the killing spree.
Anyways, yes, that is true. Perhaps the better question is 'Are they worth fucking the rest of your possible life over?'
I hope you understood that. =/
