So three arsey things happened to me today, just as my mum and I arrived to set up for her school's Christmas Bazar she gets a phonecall, not only has her Auntie Celia (my great aunt) died today but the death of my cousin Frankie was front page of the local news since he died while playing a video game, and then later on during the day we get another phonecall saying that the national press turned up on my aunt's (Frankie's moms) doorstep asking about it.

Jesus effin' Christ! The Coroner herself said that it was unlikely that him playing video games had anything to do with his death, can't they just leave his poor family in peace?

And on sunday an article about Frankie appeared in the sunday mercury (a very trashy national paper) calling him a "23 stone gaming addict" which is a fucking lie, he was 6'6" and 18 stone and he played probably an average of 4 hours a day and saying that it was the video game that caused his fit. Fucking vultures. At least the birmingham mail article just stated the facts and used the angle 'young man dies suddenly' rather then use him as a way to incite outrage against the video games industry.

The articles also appeared on the newspapers websites ... my family made the mistake of looking at the comments. There are a lot of very upset and angry people around right now

I'm so sorry, Pup. That's horrible.

These trashy newspapers have to be staffed by some of the most despicable human beings that don't deserve to be called journalists.

So in the beginning of this semester, I really sucked at Thermodynamics. Like, less than a 40% on the first test bad... so I decided I would sit down and learn it. My work paid off and I made a 95% on the second test, the largest improvement in my class. I calculated that I needed at least an 80 on my last quiz and an A on the final to pull off a C in the class.

We had our last quiz last week- a two problem multiple choice quiz. He stated beforehand that there will be no partial credit awarded, so from logic, I can either ace it or fail it, since I can't get a 75 or anything... right?

Wrong. I made a 40 on this quiz. But that isn't the part that pisses me off... I got BOTH questions correct. The bastard counted off 60% for not showing my work... on a MULTIPLE CHOICE quiz!!!

So I confronted him after class and he kept rattling off the same BS about how I didn't justify my answer or show work. Now, I need to hear some feedback: am I correct in assuming a multiple choice test consists of full credit for the correct answer and no credit for the incorrect one? And that even if you guess the right answer out of the blue, you should get the credit?

I am so pissed... I may fail a class because right answers apparently don't mean $#!+

So, here's the thing. Way back at the begining of November there was supposed to be a man coming to change my electricity meter to a key meter instead of a card meter. They gave me a timeslot of 8am-6pm. I waited allllllllll day. No one came.

A few days later I get another letter telling me that they'll send someone else out in a week and a half. Same timeslot. Same problem.

So then I called them because I was like ffs guys I wasted two days already! So they gave me a timeslot of 2pm-4pm today.

The man got sent to the wrong Cooksey Road because there happens to be three around here and they gave him the wrong postcode (REALLY?!

) but two phonecalls later I managed to direct him to my door.

Only to be told that two weeks ago they ran out of the kind of meter I have so they can't change it anyway because if they use the meter they have in stock my heating won't work which would suck. Their bosses know about this but they STILL send them out to jobs that need a day/night meter anyway and waste everyone's time. So now I have to wait til the new year when hopefully they have some in stock and in the mean time I want to stab something.

My aunt just called at 3 AM. Apparently, her ex-husband had a massive heart attack earlier this evening and isn't likely to make it. They've had to resuscitate him a few times and aren't going to if he goes again. Makes me feel really bad for my cousins and his other boy.

My best friend of 16 years now can't be bothered to remain my friend because we don't get chance to see each other anymore as she's moved to far away. Apparently I'm ignoring her for other people i barely see and someone i'm no longer friends with.

My mom might have to have open heart surgery.

A beloved science teacher at my daughter's school died suddenly yesterday. My daughter described the scene as one of chaos in the halls when the teachers finally notified the students why this teacher hadn't shown up that morning.

Christmas vacation begins today.

Fell coming home last night, busted my knee (that's just the start), Went to get out of bed and my knee dislocated.... didn't feel good, so far it's done it again 4 more times... had to cancel my scout meeting so I can look for a knee brace cuz it's excruciatingly painful when it happens

Post by **Slarti** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 8:07 pm

OW! Damn.

I think I ate something questionable yesterday. I yakked at work, then again at home, then had to watch Kiley until Scott came home. I died in bed for about 10 hours before I had to be to work early today, but I still feel kind of pukey. Better, but not good.

I would strongly recommend getting to a doctor, because I can't think of much more painfully inconvenient and annoying than a kneecap that randomly dislocates. (I can even venture a guess as to which tendon and/or ligaments you damaged.)

As for my complaint, I can't go into detail, but I've experienced yet another perspective on a controversial subject. Having friends or family come out to me is nothing new. I want people to feel comfortable and be themselves around me. And usually by the time people tell me, I've already figured it out anyway, so it's not this huge, sudden revelation. (A little gay-dar can be a good thing.) But how do I offer my support to someone near and dear who's been trying (and failing) to keep me thoroughly in the dark- and who has me a little worried about this person's physical and emotional well-being? And why does it hurt that this person doesn't feel capable of telling me?

I still feel questionable from the food poisoning or whatever I had Monday.

Thought I was going to yak again earlier today...

And I just had to deal with a stupid spammer.

You know... in the season six finale of HIMYM, Lily was convinced she had food poisoning...

Turned out she was pregnant.

Just sayin'.

Stupid tumtum kept me up all night except for an hours worth of broken cracky dreams from hell, ended up with a rebound migraine for 12 hours from the meds I had to take to keep out of the ER (evil 20 hour long tumtum pain).

Kids hopped up on sugar and excitement are hard to be around when you've had one hour of sleep and have a migraine.

On the good side, I wrapped everything early this year so it's all good and ready to go.
