GAH I am so mad that I had to completely re-install my Sims 3 games today. ._. I'm not even halfway done and I want to play so bad.

Changing the date for an assignment is fine, so long as you have ample notice. Changing the requirements, as in adding an extra 4 pages to a term paper, the day before it's due however is NOT COOL. NOT COOL AT ALL. /table flip.

Still completely stressed out at school and work. I have to cut down my hours at work because I can't handle working 5 days a week and going to school 4 days a week. Now I'm barely going to have enough money for gas.

Every year I say I'm going to get the taxes done early and every year I wait till the last minute.

I was writing novellas and other forms of literature and reading at a 6th grade level when I was four. I was considered an unofficial English prodigy. At eleven, I became fascinated with computers. At twelve I finished writing my first full length novel. At thirteen I discovered how to make a newspaper outline using a word document. So from 7th to 10th grade, I wrote and designed many newspapers for my grandfather, who has always been my biggest supporter and fan. (He was actually the first to realize that I was so skilled in literature at a young age.)

When I was eleven, I had learned that I want to be a writer when I grew up. At thirteen, I realized how much I loved making my newspaper and decided that I want to be a newspaper journalist. After writing for my school's newspaper for a while, I had decided that I truly want nothing more than to be a magazine editor.

So when I entered 10th grade, I applied for my school's newspaper because it looked similar to the writing process of my own mini newspapers I was doing on my own. The teacher denied me because I was having some issues turning things in on time, which is a big deal. I accepted that answer because it was true and applied again upon entering 11th grade. I was accepted, along with a good friend of mine, who liked writing but wasn't nearly as in love with but with slightly above average skills compared to the average person.

I immediately got shit-stories, while she got really amazing ones. I told myself that if I worked harder, I would get better stories. I didn't. I poured my heart, soul and every inch of writing skill I had into my shitty stories, turning them into great reading. The teacher even commented on how I was making these shitty stories I was assigned really good and readable.

Since I want to be a magazine editor and the work of the Features editor is similar to magazines, I kissed that editor's fucking ass. I did everything she wanted, helped her with her articles and her headlines and everything concerning the Features section. I stayed after school till 10pm with her to help her with the designs. I did this, because next year is my last year on the school newspaper. The current editor was graduating.

I was fucking dying to be the new features editor.

So the day came and I applied to be the editor. I filled it out, I read it over and over and over and over and had my friends and family read it over and over and over and over and over to make sure it was PERFECT.

Today my teacher announced the new editors. My good friend is the new features editor because she's better at Photoshop than I.

I don't cry in front of people. I kid you not I burst into tears and ran off to the bathroom. When I came back, I learned that all the juniors that are going to be seniors next year BUT ME, have an editorial position. Before I could cry again, my teacher had the fucking nerve to ask if I wanted to be the activities director, since it'd be my senior year. Activities director is a position we haven't had since 1985. What do they do? They bring snacks and plan fun activities that we'd do once a month.

Bitch, I wanted to be the features editor because IT'S WONDERFUL PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE FOR MY FUTURE CAREER! MY DREAM CAREER! I love writing more than anything in the world! Hell, I'd take the never wanted Copy Editor (reads and corrects all third drafts) or Business Manager (manages finances, advertisements and prints off the newspapers). Activities director? She also made it sound like it was similar to being the editor-in-chief.

In about a half hour, my heart was completely crushed, salt added to the wound and discovered time wasted kissing ass so that I could be an editor.

I'm with you on this one - I've always been great with languages and grammar structures. I'm just turned seventeen and I've already covered German, French, English, Korean AND Japanese, and now I'm onto Swedish. I write as well, but mostly for film.

This ties in a bit to my own rant.

Why the HELL do people say "nothing" instead of "anything"?! It is NOT proper diction in any place I've come across (except for the South-Eastern portion of America) and the people who say it sound absolutely ridiculous.

"I don't want nothing."

*facepalms*

As opposed to:

"I don't want anything."

"Okay."

I just HATE when people mess with the English language - or any language - because it's supposedly "easier" to say. I get internet slang. I don't get it when people talk L33T in real life. "LAWL DID U C DAT" is not an acceptable text message in my book. And Google Chrome, you need to update your dictionary for spellchecking! CUPCAKE AND ANYWAYS ARE WORDS.

I just cry for humanity somedays.

FYI - Americans seem to like saying anyways but it isn't really a word.

"Anyways" actually is a real word now in both my (quite new) dictionary and online - I say it all the time - but I'm talking about the improper use of certain words . . . ugh it just gets me sometimes how people can get away with talking like a three-year-old.

I'm not really American unless you count living there for a few years as a baby when I was adopted - then it was off to Korea - so I don't really know where I picked up the word. It's probably just my mangled, mixed up, thrown-together, haphazard accent. I cut off the ends of words a lot: shih is shit, uh is up, shut is shuh, either is aye-thuh, et cetera is et cehrah, and anyways - anywais - just sounds a bit better than "ayway," to me. It has a lot to do with me speaking more than one language too. French has had a lot to do with that.

But again a regional dialect is still no excuse for improper diction in my book. There are some words I will allow when in the correct context, like anyways, unthaw, fridge, gonna, brung, stuffy, and etc. All of those are previously non-words - they're in my dictionary, but some are not in an older one I own - all of them are not in the oldest one I own from the mid-20th century. My personal rule is that if you use them properly, I have no problem with their presence. But when a person starts randomly chucking similar words in a sentence in place of another - my issue with "nothing" and "anything" for example - den y'all gots a prollem.

I don't think the people in my campus knows that the Library is supposed to be a "quiet" place. But when they install XBOX and DVD/Blu-Ray players, they're kinda asking for it. It's still annoying for those who want to come to read, though.

I hate medical terminology and I hate that my computer takes forever to upload pictures.

And my finger hurts.

use your medical terminology to diagnose why your finger is hurting, start uploading your pictures and go treat your finger with your medical knowledge. When your finger is fixed, your pictures will be uploaded.

problems solved. money now plztnx.

Dang it! I can't find the disc to Sims 3! Dang it!

stop treating me like a ping-pong ball. one or the other....include me, always, or dont, ever. i hate ever-shifting ground.

Lost my broadband modem, and can't buy a new one because I registered it using someone else's IC

We're studying animal euthanasia in one of my classes. It makes me sad.

WHY AM I UP.

It's my birthday today. I have no significant other, so no birthday sex for me.

Today my government teacher went on a long rant about how our generation (I'm 18) is all bad, how our lives are so easy because of technology, etc. I agree our lives are easier, in some ways. I just hate how older people act superior to young people just for living longer. I don't have a tablet, an iPhone, a fancy cell phone (mine was like $15 and I can send about 20 texts per month), or a Kindle. I actually do call people when I want to hang out, because I don't text at all. I don't use text speak. I read all the time--at least 2 books per month, usually. I just had to take a test for anatomy on about 50 or 75 skeletal muscles, their actions, and their origins & insertions. I guess I'm just trying to say that I hate stereotypes, and that we still have to work for things (or at least I do, and my friends do). I can't accept older people thinking they are better, mostly because my parents are 56 and 57, and they don't think they are better. They're very humble, and they admit that their generation isn't perfect either. They admit that they benefit from technology too, and that our generation isn't horribly lazy just because we have Google. (I still do look things up in library books after all.)

Animal anatomy is hard. I'm not doing very good in my class.

For some reason, there's this prevailing idea that age is some sort of accomplishment. I dunno, people like to make huge sweeping generalizations about other people because fuck all, not assigning some imaginary traits to someone you don't know based on some arbitrary group they may or may not fit in is fukkin hard.

Why is treating a person like an individual such a foreign concept to so many people? Anyone can be an asshole or a good person regardless of their age.

OMG I've just noticed that I have one normal ear and one giant ear!!!

I can't believe I never noticed before... and now I can't unsee it

Just realized that my birth year for my email is wrong, and I'm much older there than I really am. I tried to change it back to the correct year, but the site won't confirm the change because "Grown ups should not pretend to become kids". dafuq???

I'm Venting About Cats Not Having Whiskers. Wth?! Stupid Sims 3 Pets

I took this The Walking Dead: Which Character are You Quiz? and it came up that I'm a Carol. =/

Life sucks.
