Complain about all!

I'm getting desperate about my making-of YK Live #11 DVD that I haven't received yet... When two other parcels shipped later arrived meanwhile :wet:
Click to expand...

Okay, it finally came home today. According to the markings on the enveloppe, it went back to Japan with no reason provided, then returned to the French Post to get a reason for the return, but to be actually delivered...
The disk was loose in the box (which in itself is quite crappy, hardly closing), thus it got plenty of tiny dents on it, I first tested it on my computer which doesn't recognize it at all, but it actually seems okay as it is read with no issue so far on my DVD player (which I bought for a ridiculous amount of money but still seems to be able to read pretty everything correctiy, even DVDs that aren't well recognized by my Blu-Ray player)
So, everything eventually ends well!

It feels like I pulled something in my left shoulder and all the way down my left side. I know that's weird. Well, I got Botox on Monday, and it still hurts. They do down your shoulders a bit for migraines, since it's all connected, or at least that's what they think with me, because of my Scoliosis and surgery. Ugh. I want one day without any pain, is that too much to ask?
 
I know, double post. But I got little to no sleep last night and I think it's due to my mattress. I can't get comfortable on it, and it hurts when I wake up. I've only had it for a couple of years, which isn't long, but it's a Bamboo type which is supposed to be good for people with back problems. But so far, it's making my back worse. Might go today to get one. I can't wait to actually sleep again. (Yes, I do try and go to bed earlier since I can't stay up late anymore. Getting old, going to be 30 this year! Ahh! heh) I'm just tired of everything right now. I need a long nap today.
 
my roommate and I wanted to move to a different dorm next year but, while there are rooms with one bed not occupied, there aren't any with two. orz.
 
My self esteem has dropped rapidly. I feel stupid, ugly and worthless. Its hard cause if I say i like something about myself society thows it back at you saying youre self obsessed so apparenty having low self esteem is normal. But how is it normal just looking in the mirror and hating every single inch of yourself?
Sorry for being a drama queen I just needed to rant, theres nobody to talk to
 
^ That's understandable. I'm getting sick of the "you'll be more successful if you have more self-confidence," thing too, which is something that successful/lucky people who don't have many difficulties to deal with always say. If you don't fit in a certain mould, are well-connected or simply in the right place at the right time, finding a job and getting on in life is hard. Self-confident people just strike me as cocky and hard to deal with because that confidence forces everyone else to go along with what they say even when it's wrong. I find them intimidating and 'fake', if that makes sense.

When you have people criticising you over and over again, it's perfectly natural and logical to lower your expectations accordingly, but it's hardly fair. There seems to be a real problem in society right now (at least in the country where I live) that values image while at the same time being really harsh on people for no reason. It makes no sense to me either. What about the important things, e.g. being honest, respectful and open-minded about what makes a 'good' person, and not being jerks to each other?
 
^ I have to agree with you, especially since it appears that many people these days are employed without sufficient importance being placed on their being honest in carrying out their duties.

Isn't it more important to be understanding than confident without understanding?
 
I am so tired. I couldn't sleep because I was in pain and crying last night. I am so sick of this back and I want a different body most days. So I am with you magicmagia. But it's because of my back and other problems. I want one day where I am perfectly fine, with nothing bothering me. Is that too much to ask? Hope I am okay for vacation on Sunday.

Edit: I wish I could be stronger...

Something that's a minor annoyance rather than serious this time: I ordered a vinyl record from an online store and, after waiting a week and a half, they send the wrong one. :wet:

What turned up today was the latest record from Russian Circles, who are a band I've heard good things about. I'll probably really like it, but...it's not what I ordered and I can't really afford to go and order the same thing again in the hope that it'll arrive!
 
^did you contact the store? I feel like they would send you the right one since it was their mix up

Wish me luck in finishing a report for history today.
Especially since it's still in the notes stage
Orz
 
^Best of luck then!

Yeah, I sent them an e-mail to tell them that they sent the wrong thing. It's weird how long it took to arrive - it's a UK store, but orders from Amazon and even CDJapan don't take as long as this did. My best guess is that they're a small indie company, but it's still a nuisance.
 
Got back our first exam in environmental history. Ahhhg I'm so mad because I was .5 away from getting an A (on the 40 pt scale of how it was graded)

I love how I can get an A on a paper for hist 493 when I only get a B for hist 124...orz

(Ignore me, I probably sound really vain right now)
 
Just when I thought it was going to be sorted out, the reply from the record shop went along the lines of "the item you want is out of stock and we can't get hold of it." :vortex:

Well, thanks for nothing. As soon as I get my refund I'm steering clear of that place. Seriously, what decent shop tries to sell stuff they don't actually have? I've tried looking for the same record elsewhere, but it looks like a choice between importing or going without. :stupidtable:
 
I have never posted on this thread before, decided to give it a shot today.

My course mate, X, confessed to me one month ago and we are now dating. X stalked me to a point of finding out my intense love towards Kalafina. I would, ever since, share with X stories of Kalafina and how great they are. Whenever there's something released related to Kalafina, I would get very excited and happy. Sometimes I would share those post/pictures/videos to X. Two days ago I shared to X a snippet of Keiko replying "I prefer girls" when Wakana said she likes to hug her infront of people. This is where the strange part takes place. X didn't reply me and today X said that it always hurts X when I talk about Kalafina or Keiko. I was very surprised by this statement and I said that X shouldn't be hurt because I'm just idolising them. I also said ill stop sharing Kalafina related information with X if it bothers X but X said that " its ok" and that X is " getting used to it". But I insisted on the fact that I won't tell X any Kala related info from now on. Then X brought up a tale on how X has a friend that looks and acts like Keiko and asked if I would date her and I replied no because she is not keiko. Then X said "so you would date Keiko if we are not together" and I laughed and said that she doesn't even know if my existence so it doesn't matter but if I could then I would.

So, can someone tell me if I did something wrong or is X overreacting it? How should I handle this situation? Thanks
 
No, some people are just sensitive to this kind of thing. My family is, while I have gotten used to my friend having a girlfriend, it took some getting used to. She is so much different now than she was in high school. But we are still good friends. I think people should respect other peoples' preferences and not get all weirded out, but I can understand that it is an issue. So you did not do anything wrong, I am just saying others might get a weird impression of the statement.

I had a zombie nightmare last night. It's still weirding me out since I remember all of it. I hate it when I remember dreams like that. I've been doing that lately too.
 
@Smoshes I find it odd that your friend is "hurt" by your talk about Kalafina. I know most of my friends would be uninterested if I talked about them, so I don't. Maybe your friend feels like you are more concerned with Kalafina than that person, hence why they feel hurt? It feels like overreaction on their part, not quite understanding the "idolising" part of being a fan

current complaints from aki: need to prepare for the exam on friday (which I am not looking forward to because I struggle with writing concisely) and need to read an entire chapter of geography tonight
I miss having free time to draw. orz

@Smoshes I think it could be that X has low self-esteem and is probably feeling a little insecure about your relationship, especially since there's another person he/she knows that looks and acts like the person you idolise so much. Maybe X also feels a little down because he/she expects to "rank" above Keiko in your heart since both of you are dating? Sorry I can't offer much advice since I've never been in a relationship before, but I wish you the best of luck in your relationship with X :bow:

I'm also having a little problem of my own. I have a crush on my classmate :...:
 
Thanks guys stating your opinions on the matter

@aki gambateh! geography can be dry at times :/

@a-chan aww go stalk him/her! haha i kids i kids! hope he/she is as nice and kind as you are :DD
 
good god I am completely lacking in motivation to study right now. I keep going to all the sites I normally go to, over and over again.
I really want to sit in bed and watch tv
......and I'm getting tired but it isn't even 10 yet lol

I blame this lethargy on the fact that I don't have any classes tomorrow

update: I've given in.
now the question is, do I want to watch downton abbey (which would count towards homework, actually), border, or the new lupin III movie....
