Say Anything.

'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.

Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort

This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.

So, say anything.

I was just told that the guy who fired my friend and me as well as chasing off over half the department has just been shifted to Project Manager, a position he always seemed to hold in derision. His predecessor was actually assigned to Project Manager status after making the wrong person mad.

Suck it, fucko. Enjoy that job you badmouthed that gives you no power over people.
:monkey

Jesus I'm tired of fucktards whining about shit they don't like or understand. Oh, don't like that picture, let's ban it. The world is over, let's blame the democrats. I'm a fucking dumb ass, let me use my art journal to bitch about everything BUT ART.

I wish people were dead.

hehe I rarely read journals anymore.. Mostly just the TAC girls and a select few other artists on DA.

I'm turning off all the journals of people I'm not close with, or whine about shit. Someone on DA actually named someone and called their art - porn. I can't believe the narrow mindedness.

I just read a thread on another forum about a woman whose 13YO son's friend at school is pregnant... and she's almost 13. This is what it said:

I was informed this weekend that his friend is pregnant by and 8th grade boy. The girl is thrilled...they are going to live with his parents is what she is telling everyone. She discussed how the first time hurt, but after that how she loved sex with a friend's daughter.


I read this and got goosebumps. GAWD I cannot imagine going home from work and having my Jen come up to me and say "hey mom, guess what??" And actually be happy about it!! :omg "They are going to live with his parents"... YEAH RIGHT like I'd let my 13 year old go live somewhere else... wow. This really hit me; I just can't imagine being a grandmother at my age. :faint

That's retarded. You hear about that group of girls who made a pact to get pregnant? Something like, barely 16 and it ended up being like a dozen girls? If you want unconditional love, buy a fucking cocker spaniel.

god, I cant imagine.. I was absolutely terrified at 4 years older, and I know how lucky I was that David actually wanted anything to do with me or the baby after that. *shudders and reaffirms my vow to have my little girl on BC or locked in th e basement*

Exactly! Gah, I'm still all creeped out. Jen and I have had LOTS of talks about this stuff, I think I'd feel better if we had more. Tonight. :yes

Oh!

My girlie had herself a little party on Friday night, a "Horror Movie Night". Ya, we had like 8 horror movies there, guess how many we watched? One. And noone even really paid any attention to it, except when gross parts came, and the kid who brought the movie would say "watch this!" lol

Anyway, I took a bunch of pictures, and a few of them came out like this:

Scary Picture

And I have no explanation as to why! It's really creepy, I thought it was totally appropriate ;) Some of them were kinda blurred, too, and they looked even creepier! For some reason, this one reminded me of the Blair Witch Project movie, or whatever that's called...

Darsa I think you're an incredible parent to have fun with your daughter and her friends. You must have the patience of Mother Theresa lol.

i hate having to give a client a quote only to have them not answer my email in over 48 hours.

I don't know if I'm incredible or not, but I guess my main motivation is thinking that if they're having lots of fun while I'm around, then they won't need to sneak around and see what other "fun" they can get into. I guess it stems from when I was a teenager; we lived in a big apartment complex, and the things we used to do now make MY hair stand on end. I never did any of the drinking and other foolishness with ONE exception... and ended up with a black eye. It was a great lesson to learn, even if school was a bit embarrassing the next day.

Not to mention, this way I can keep my beady eyes on Jen and her guy. They cuddle on the couch when I'm in the room but they know where the line is; I've made it EXCEEDINGLY clear ;)

Wierd that these kids feel comfortable talking to me about anything. Really, I've conversed about anything with them from sex to suicide; serious, involved conversations that include me saying "Well, I don't know what your parents would say but in MY opinion" and give them a basic overview and then just monitor the conversation from there. I think it's a healthy outlet, and gives me lots of information about Jen's friends. :)

It worked for me too, Darsa, having that kind of relationship with my daughter. I kind of stumbled into it to a certain degree because of all her friends I was the only mom with a car! :P So I wound up with having the other kids over at my house a lot, much of the time waiting to go somewhere with her, or coming back from someplace and having them hanging around afterward. Seeing how she acted with them showed me the level of maturity she had, and how she reacted in a lot of situations I may have never seen otherwise...which gave me the confidence and trust in her to help me deal with her later teenage years so well...and her too ;)

There's four fucking rolls of toilet paper. Why do you wipe your boogers on the walls?

There's two empty urinals. Why are you standing in front of the only unused toilet?

You clog up every toilet you use when you do #2. EAT SOME FUCKING FIBER ALREADY
Darsa 17 years ago
GROSSSS!!! LOL Were you typing this from the bathroom? That's the image in my head, you angrily typing while sitting on the potty...

LOL
Mileron 17 years ago
No, but they're complaints that have been stewing for a few days.

3 times in 3 weeks the toilets in the womens' bathroom have overflowed - always by the same woman - and she repeatedly clogs one or another (I've seen her hanging the signs - my desk is almost directly in line with the bathroom hall).
The others are self-explanatory :)
