Losing badly against the Khorne Daemons in BloodBowl.
I can steal hear the screams of the fallen...
Also I'm bummed out by the fact that I have to pay £150 for my college and my mum doesn't have a cheque-book, so now I have to find out another method of paying(if there are any).
And I have to submit the money by the 26th, otherwise the college assumes that I rejected their offer.

Also, as a side-note, I showed some of my less-stupid friends in school the Jimquisition Desensitized to Violence video(the one in which R.Budd Dwyer commits suicide) when they were stating that they "could easily kill another person"/if they had superpowers they would use them "to kill everyone"(I was concerned too), to prove that they couldn't and that the brain can separate fiction from reality.
I had made it clear that it was supposed to be treated seriously, yet they acted like ape-shit monkeys laughing and making jokes about the senator's death.
On of their responses was "but I don't want to be sad!" Fair enough, but why did you watch the fucking video even when I specifically stated that it is disturbing and supposed to be treated seriously.
The day that I was convinced that I am surrounded by fucking neanderthals in my school.

No, though I am hoping to start going to a technical school this summer.lacktheknack said:
As far as saying this, it's because when put next to total acceptance love and grace no matter what we did, people fail in comparison. People are people, they are sinners and selfish and most people have standards far above themselves and are unwilling to trust or forgive others.
That being said I actually posted this here not because of how sad I am, but to tie in with the happy thread I posted in today.
While this was indeed my saddest thought of the day, I am not sad.
The love of the creator of the universe and our saviour Jesus Christ beats that of a woman...that being said I am guilty of sin in that I wish I would also have the love of a woman.
Today was my first day of work this week, and it was the first of seven in a row.
I start work at 4:30am. Only six more to go...

I have never understood how people can do that. Or Birthdays for that matter, you'd think you'd keep a note somewhere or something.Aris Khandr said:My girlfriend forgot our anniversary.
Try and look at the positive. If she doesn't like you it's not your fault. Nothing you can do to change it. That's much better than always wondering.Necron_warrior said:A Girl.
A girl I like.
A girl I like displaying lesbian tendencies.
A generalisation much?Phasmal said:
Just had a massive fight with my now ex girlfriend over some nasty business.
Can't stop bawwing my eyes out.

I said you were generalising. That is, making a sweeping statement while ignoring everything else. Like perhaps that there are many more instances of gamers being decent to female gamers than there are those that aren't. Your wording suggested a certain degree of victimisation or discrimination, that being a female gamer is not a pleasant experience due to the community.Phasmal said:
You are looking at the minority of assholes while ignoring the majority of decent people who do not treat female gamers badly. You say that the community is a shit place for women when the majority of the time it isn't.
That is not to say that when people are assholes it's any better, but that doesn't change the fact what you said was a sweeping statement about the gaming community.
That is a generalisation.
I know what you mean. Especially episode 3 and 9 onwards. One of my favourite anime's ever though. Then again, I must be a masochist because I like bittersweet things.teebeeohh said:
Damn, you have my sympathies. I've had it happen to me and it was horrible, I know how you feel.Baron von Blitztank said:
Very well.Legion said:
Allow me to amend my original statement.
`The gaming community still being a shit place* to be for women**, and people acting like they are better than `those guys` when they fucking are `those guys`***.`
*Not all the time.
**Not all women, not all the time, but a large enough amount in my experience to warrant still being sad about.
***In my personal experience.
Hopefully now that will unrustle some jimmies.
How mature.Phasmal said:
How about:
It makes me sad knowing there are many people in the gaming community who make it an unpleasant place to be for women. Especially people who act like they are better than "those guys" when they are "those guys".
And voilà, you have expressed your point in a mature and polite way while retaining the same idea and without generalising the gamer community as being sexist arseholes.
I sincerely doubt that if anybody had said something the way you said about a negative female behaviour instead, that you wouldn't be reacting along the same lines that I am right now.
Sorry, but I can't even bring this up with anybody without getting the `it's not everyone!` speech (when I never said it was).Legion said:
Excuse me for not adding a million disclaimers to everything I say, thinking that people might be intelligent enough to know that unless I've said I'm talking about everyone, I'm not.
Moving on from that, another thing I get sad about; people who see harassment going on and do nothing about it. I know speaking out might be scary, but it's the only way anything will get done about it.
Well...more like morose, really.
Was deeply thinking of the people that I have affiliated with in the past and present.
Could have made some better choices back then. Perhaps even been a better person.
Oh well.

My grandfather's wife don't have much time left, and I'm pretty sure he will be joining her pretty soon afterwards. I don't really have any people that I can hang out with in this town I'm in, except some relatives, who are some great people but not really my kind of people. A girl I showed interest for didn't feel the same, and it's once in a blue moon I meet women I develope interest for.
And I really don't have anything that makes me feel happy.
