It irritates me that I find things irritating to the extent that I find them irritating. Dylan and Lee both have the patience of saints, it would seem. Dylan's suitemates even compared him to Buddha. That's pretty damn cool. Anyway, I used to try to stick to the mantra "Let it flow over you like water over glass," inspired by Bruce Lee's philosophy that one should be like water. As he often said, "When you put water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you put it in a glass, it becomes the glass." I'd like to be a lot more zen about life in general, but for some reason, I've recently become a lot angrier, a lot more irritable, and a lot more foul-mouthed. Simple things irritate me nowadays, and interactions I used to enjoy have become tiresome to the point of pain. I also find that I mutter to myself a lot more, like I used to in high school. In fact, now that I think about it, in general I've become a lot more like I was when I was in high school. A downgrade, it would seem. At the very least my interpersonal interactions have remained relatively unaffected, so I suppose that that in its own way is a good thing. But I find myself becoming increasingly more and more tired of daily life. I'm not sure whether to say I've become lethargic or melancholic. Perhaps both. At the very least, Elizabethans would say that I have an excess of melancholy. Haaaa... I should take steps to revitalize my life. Perhaps one of the Catholic Center's retreat. If I become more in tune with God, perhaps I can become more in tune with life. _________________

Borders, you have earned my ire. Therefore, I demand that you die in a fire. In fact, I demand that you retire and expire in the mire of my dire ire fire. Anyway, as you may are be aware, Borders puts security strips in their manga. They're thin white strips that stick to the pages. Most of the time, you can carefully remove them without damaging the page. But today, Borders pissed me off. They committed the greatest sin. One of the strips was stuck so hard to the page that the act of removing it tore off some ink and in fact tore a hole through the page. What the fuck, Borders? My copy of Maid-sama vol. 4 is ruined now. Ruined, I say! And Barnes & Noble is absolutely no help in finding a replacement. I had to go out to Books-a-million to get another one. Bastards. Gonna return the damaged one when I get back to Athens. Fucking Borders. _________________

The Office of Student Financial Aid is a terrible, annoying place. I submitted my FAFSA, sent in my verification forms, discovered I'd made some pretty big mistakes, sent in TWO corrected versions of the FAFSA and waited. Two months later, still no financial aid. I email them. They email me back saying I need to fill out a form they'd never told me about and send it in because there was a discrepancy in the number of people in my household (one of the mistakes that had to be corrected. I forgot how many siblings I have.) I send it in, and did some more waiting. Still nothing. I get an email saying I have to pay tuition by August 6th. Ok. Not much time, is it? I email them again. They reply and tell me I have another form I need to send in, again one they'd never told me about, before I can be considered for financial aid. I look at the form. It's about information pertaining to my original FAFSA, with all of it's mistakes. I email them back, saying that it's no longer applicable. They look at their records. They don't need the form anymore. They haven't needed the form in months, they just forgot to mark it (much like they forgot to send me the forms in the first place) Finally I get an email from them saying that I shouldn't need to send in anything else. I just need to wait again because it will take 7-10 days for my request to process. Of course! Right before I need to pay tuition is the perfect time for this. I acknowledge that I should have emailed them sooner, and not effed up so bad the first time, but seriously. At least pretend you're making the effort to help. I shouldn't have to remind them of how to do their job. They're the ones that know what I'm missing, not me. I can't magically intuit this stuff any more than I can make my tuition grown from a tree. Pah. _________________ You know what, I'm entirely too cool for a signature.

Unlimited. Unlimited. Unlimited unlimited unlimited unlimited unlimitedunlimitedunlimitedulimitedunlimitedunlimitedunlimitedunlimitedUNlimitEDunLIMITedUNliMITeduNLiMITEdUNLIMITEDUNLIMITEDUNLIMITEDUNLIMITEDUNLIMITED UNLIMITED FUCKING BULLSHIT!! Goddammit, I knew it was coming, I just fucking knew it, goddammit! Continuum Shift has unlimited fucking characters, and even more of the goddamn pieces of shit. There's now Unlimited Rachel, Unlimited Hakumen, Unlimited Ragna (goddammit), perhaps Unlimited Lambda or Mu, and Unlimited Hazama. GODDAMN UNLIMITED HAZAMA! I was just playing the fucking arcade, and he shows up as the final boss. What the fuck?! It's arcade, not score attack or story mode. Fucking hell, that bastard is even cheaper than that fucker Ragna. What the fuck?! How is that possible? How the fuck can he chain an attack string INTO a Distortion Drive and then CONTINUE his attack string? And what's this, he has a LONG DISTANCE GRAB DISTORTION?! What the hell?! And it's not like Unlimited Ragna, who actually had to cross the screen to grab you, allowing a possible interrupt. Unlimited Hazama just says, "All right, I'm gonna have some green rings shut up from the ground and grab, hit you a couple times, bring you over to me so I can hit you a couple times, and then throw you across the screen after hitting you some more. And he's got regular distance grabs too, and again, he doesn't go to you. You go to him. And he's got a fucking aura that drains your health. Ragna had to hit you to drain your health. Hazama just drains your health if you're within a circle centered on him that takes up a third of the screen. So, I have to avoid the grabs, avoid the regular attacks, get next to him, and try to beat him up enough to overcome the health drain, and all the while hope that he doesn't come up with some bullshit counter in the middle of a chain? Goddammit! _________________

My stupid fucking headset has started crapping out on me, after owning it for only two years. I think the connector pins must be bad or something because it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting randomly no matter what USB port I have it plugged into. This wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have to restart the fucking program I'm running in order to get the sound back because of the retarded way this thing works. Meaning, if I have it plugged in and I start Firefox and open a couple of tabs to let videos buffer and they get halfway done and I hear a little "blip" sound, it means it's disconnected itself and I have to restart Firefox and plug it in again in order for it to work. This wouldn't be too bad either if it didn't keep happening. Fuck you Logitech and your shitty technology.
Also I wish my dad would stop freaking the fuck out when I ask him more than two questions at a time. "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW?! WHY ARE YOU ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS" he screams. "BECAUSE I WAS JUST CURIOUS YOU BASTARD DON'T MAKE SUCH A BIG FUCKING DEAL ABOUT IT"
And fuck my Internet being randomly slow as fuck. _________________ Spit out your Stride gum and chew another piece already.

Urgh. I really hate my stomach right now. Not sure why, but it hurts like a motherless son of a gun. Either it's my diet, which has been pretty crappy lately, or my living condition, which lacks a shower curtain and therefore forces me to use Jared's when he's not asleep/using it.
Also, I hate Micro$oft because they won't let me freaking preview the picture packs and themes for games I like. I don't wanna download something I can't freaking see, you twits. According to their forums, they're "aware" people want to preview those items, but they've said nothing about actually making a preview system. Jerks.
And Hazama, you bastard. How dare you, sir. How dare you mess with Noel, Goddess of Love and my heart. If you weren't so...unlimited...I would so kick your ass with reckless abandon. At the very least I was able to practice EVERY character's Astral Finish on you. Take that, bastard. How's it feel to get beaten by Carl, huh? Big scary man, gets beat by a kid who plays with dolls. Suck it.

I really hate how much I forget these two simple adages:
Never argue with idiots. People looking on might not be able to tell the difference.
Arguing on the internet is like the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still a retard.
I've lost my cool--what little there is of it--too many times online, and now I really do feel stupid for the arguments I've had. _________________

Goddammit. I loaded up my save files in Fate/Stay Night, and it looks like I didn't copy the files from when I had beaten Unlimited Blade Works. Damn it, now I have to replay that entire part again. I don't even know how far I still have to play. Oh wait, yes I do. Damn it... Oh well. More time with GARcher. _________________

I hate. I don't hate anything in particular. It's more that I just hate. When I look at something, I feel hatred, but I don't feel hatred for what I'm looking at. When I think of something, I likewise feel hatred without feeling hatred for that of which I am thinking. There simply exists within me the feeling of hatred. If I were to hate anything, I would hate the fact that I hate without having anything to hate. So I just have a roaming hatred. I hate it. _________________

I hate the American medical system and its insurance companies and its referrals and its soulless bureaucracy. I have been having a somewhat worrying health issue for a week now, and when I finally saw a doctor this morning, he did a cursory examination and told me he wanted to do a procedure that I couldn't have done here at home since I'm going back to Athens tomorrow. He couldn't schedule me to have it in Athens, which means I have to see a doctor in Athens who could THEN schedule me to have the procedure. So I try to find a doctor in Athens who takes my insurance, and they either can't see me until weeks from now or they require a referral from a primary care doctor, despite the fact that my insurance doesn't require me to get referrals. The last place I called wanted the referring doctor to call them to schedule the appointment, but the doctor's office I want to refer me doesn't want to do it because they're not a primary care provider. So this means I have to either wait to get seen for a potentially serious issue, or I have to go through two different doctors before finding out what's wrong.

I've been getting seen for the same issue for two years. I've seen at least eight Doctors about it within that time frame. Insurance companies hate you, and don't want to pay the right Doctor to get the job done. _________________ 'I'll be the one who'll die wide awake from a sleeping medication overdose' -- Kainien
