Basically, this is a place for where anyone can
rant, scream, let it all out, blow off stream, etc.
about any problems that they are having that they just want to get off their chest. ;)


**RULES**

1. Must adhire to all Menewsha rules, needless to say (I hope anyways.).
2. The ONLY thing you can't post about is people, which you can post here Letters You Can't Send. Everything else is free game.
3. No one word answers, meaning you can not just say: SCHOOL. You have to elaborate more than that. So, get it all out.
4. If you have advice for someone, feel free to give it out!! =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will start off first.

I wish that people would learn that people if you do not have something nice to say, DO NOT say anything at all!! Telling a girl she is fat is EVERY time you see her is not helpful. IT IS CRUEL!!

Remember the golden rule: Silence is GOLDEN but, duck tape is SILVER. =)

(just a warning, this could get a little racist. I don't mean to offend, but this really bugs me...)

Dear asians. Please please please learn english when you come to canada.
I would really like my english road signs back. I don't mind the english AND korean signs, but the plain korean signs? That's just... just... Rude!

If you leave your country for a better life, don't bring it with you! None of us did! (Except for the noble british people and the french)

okay, so i recently lost my seasonal job and have been out of work for almost two months now. and its not THAT bad because i still live at home, but when i was working, i paid for groceries- but now i dont have a job!!! and my mother keeps pestering me on finding a job, but i cant find one, and the places that are hiring, i either cant get to (because i dont drive) or im not quallified for, and my mother doesnt think thats a good enough reason not to apply for jobs.

i have five+ friends that are out of work and not in school, and my mother has been searching for a new job for almost a year now, and she still thinks i can find work.


and 18, okay, i just graduated high school, i feel like im losing my youth, because i have to support myself and my mother, and even though its just the two of us, we barley make it... and we cant even get hel from the gorvenment because my mother "makes to much money" does the govrenment know that we dont have any food in the frig. or in our pantry??

@Rainbow2009
Here are some things that I think can help you out a little:

1. I would suggest apply to as many places as you can (even if it is seasonal, they can always decide that they want to hire you full or part time later).

2. I do not know if there are any near you but, job agencies are a good place to start too. They might be able to point you in the right direction. That is what my mum used and now she has had that job for over five years now.

3. Your previous high school can help you create a good resume.

4. Get good references to go along with your resume!! People who know you really well write the best letters versus someone you might have only had one class with your freshmen year of high school. You can even give them a sheet of paper with things that you have done (jobs, projects, groups, etc) so that you can be more specific. These can give a lot of detail to what they can tell your future employer about the kind of person you are.

It will be alright hun, you will find a job. It just takes time.

Until then, just take a deep breath (and release it). =)

P.S. It was no problem, I am just glad people are actually using it. I know everyone needs to just blow off steam at some point. I just think this is a wonderful way to use it. That way, you feel better and earn gold at the same time!!





As for my rant of the day: Why is it that people have to take multiple courses that have nothing to do with their major?! It's not only a waste of time but also money!!

I can understand one of each (college writing course, a science with lab course, a mathematics course, a history course, etc) to just give you a base line. But, I do NOT see the point of me requiring me to three sciences courses (two with labs), three history courses, three social sciences when my major is ENGLISH?!?! It is one thing, if I choose to take those courses because I want too but not because I am forced to.

Now, I know some classes can overlap each other but still.... I have friends who are science/mathematic oriented majors and only have to take college writing I and college writing II. I do not think that is really fair to us who are not in those majors. Plus, science courses (with labs) are worth four credits versus other courses with are worth three.

Here's another thing, ENGLISH majors at my school have a limit on the amount of credits you can earn in English courses (seventy-five). To my knowledge, no other major does. Is that fair?? I do no think so.

Seems to me, that everyone who is not a scientific/mathematics major are not only being disadvantaged but, are also seriously limited in their education....

OK, I think I am done for today!! *whew*

I see where you're coming from, and I agree that, should someone choose to move to a new country or community, they should at least make an effort to learn the local language. This goes for English-speakers moving to Asia, or France, or anywhere that English is not the official language.
However, I'm not sure I agree with the "don't bring it with you". I personally love seeing other cultures, and I'm glad immigrants hold on to aspects of their own ethnicity. Sure, it's frustrating when they come up to me and expect me to speak their language, but there's no reason they should forget who they are when they move here.

As a person, who was born in the United States to first-generation immigrants, I definitely would say it is nearly impossible to just to "not bring it with you."

Different cultures, are so deep rooted into within our minds that it is hard to just give those traditions up. It would be a shame to lose any culture, as they are beautiful in their own right.

Imagine having to give up with you think is your culture, like hockey for Canadians, the eagle for the United States, the Mount Fuji for Japan, Egypt's history, and so on. Just think about it, all these things make up a part of someone's culture, and to lose that would be like losing a piece of themselves.

That's exactly what I meant, although my sleep deprived brain may've prevented me from making it clear. I've lived all my life in a culturally destitute area, and I would like nothing more than to see some more ethnic variety around here...

Also, shockingly, I really don't care much for hockey.

Colleges never tell you outright how much each class costs nor how much everything required for classes are. Costs for college are rising faster than most average north american incomes and gets worse esp. since dollar devaluation and a poor economy just make the situation even more expensive.
I was in Kohls (I think that's the name) and noticed that EVERYTHING is made overseas in third world countries. I thought to myself that if those jobs were brought back here and and made to pay decent wages then the economy could turn around, people would have jobs and can save up, and again n. america would be a producing continent once more as opposed to being one full of consumers without jobs, poor education, and hopelessness.

Compulsive lying ,. Here i am being 100% honest and there they are being 100% fake. how am i suppose to believe something when i have all the evidence to know its a lie. Why even bother to be friends with something that ain't real. so here i am giving up a lie .

A friendly soccer game turning in to a cut-throat tournament. Gawd.

Here I am just coming back from a two year hiatus of playing because people have invited me for a 'friendly match' and halfway through the game it turns in to an elbowing and tripping competition. Friendly game my arse. -_-

Having to go to school even though you are sick. Definitely not a fun experience!! =(

I watched a tv-debate and I've got a few things to say.
How can you think all that shit, how can there be any solidarity let in you, Crap I don't even have the words to say how fucking arrogant you are. Your politics is all about pushing people down, make them feel aweful. Do you really think that making sick people work is gonna get them better!? Well I don't get how you can stand for those things!

School.
Some people have to be in every conversation,no matter what,i mean no one was even talking to them and they butt into the conversation,sometimes i want to slap them so hard.
I hate people who stereotype,at school people think its so cool that there Emo.Its not really,its really stupid about what they think.I mean seriously not smiling because that's not what "Emo"s do?! Seriously they need to Google Emo and find out what it actually is.And then im called Goth because of my HAIR?! What planet do you come from? Seriously? I can die my hair bright pink and no-one would really care but when its purple "Oooh No Shes gone goth!" WHAT THE FRICKEN HELL?!GET A GRIP.ITS JUST HAIR.

Dislikes feeling overwhelmed because of the sheer amount of school work college expects you to accomplish along with having at least a part-time job, eating, and sleeping. There are seriously not enough hours in the day/week.

Haha, my favorite thing in the world, ranting! Okay~

Kathi, I know you're my boss, I GET IT! I know that whenever we have 9 people at the counter you can go off on your own and have a conversation with whoever you wish. I get when we're super busy you can just go upstairs and remain there for hours on end. You don't have to inform us each time you do so, we get it. You're useless anyhow.

What's up with all the signs around?! We can't have on that says our hours, but we can have neon pink signs that tell us at what number to cut at? Half of us have been there for 2 years plus, myself almost 5. WE KNOW!

Also, for my editor. I know I have things due! I know my one comic has been overdue a week now. I understand. I have college and my second job as well, just like things on sites to do. I know they should be done sooner, and I'm trying my best here. I know I have an event in the New York City con to go to and I know I have to prep for that. I'm getting there. That doesn't mean you can call me at four in the morning before a test and bug me, or show up at my house and invite yourself in while I'm at work! >< I'm getting there. Then, when I'm doing my work, you're literally on my shoulders watching. Pressure! I love you to death Mike, but you're driving me nuts and I'm only one person. You told me to set all these things up at the same time now you're surprised when it's becoming too much.

I could go on and on.... I'll save more for later.

Dear Law Enforcement in Canada,
Please start doing your job. I have watched you tear down innocent people just to make yourselves look like heroes while the real criminals run wild and get away with their crimes.
You will charge a 19 year old mother for defending herself .. but you wont charge the girl she was defending herself from for underage drinking and drug use.
You will charge a 20 year old girl for standing up for what she believes in, but not a 24 year old MAN for throwing her at a wall and throwing a chair at her.
Are those crimes insignificant? Are we not important enough to have our cries for help heard?
What defines a criminal?..

How can you say you're just doing your job when you are clearly not.

MAJOR RANT ON ITS WAY!!

It's like being in a black and white world and you're the only one who can see the rainbow.
It's like being forgotten.
It's like being invisible.
It’s like being part of a masterpiece, but the artist thinks he’s made a mistake.
I’m fading away and no one notices.

It’s lonely here.
They all have they’re friends and relationships. I wonder if I’ll ever truly belong. If I’ll ever have what they have. If I’ll ever be worth it.

They’ve forgotten. I’m not here anymore. I’ve faded away into the background. I’m lost.

They’re sitting around all laughing and cracking jokes with each other. I keep asking myself, why can’t I do that? Why can’t I act like them??

Will I ever achieve my dreams or will they be just that, dreams?? Something to fantasize about but never put into practice. I feel like I’m coasting along, and I’m losing everything. Like, I’ve gone from one big moment in my life to the next and not even have the chance to catch my breath. So much so that, I’ve forgotten how to breathe.

It’s lonely here. I know that they’re out there having a blast. That they’re making memories to last a life time. Will I be in any of them?? Will anyone stop to think, “Why isn’t she here??” for more that a minute?? Beyond the “Oh, why didn’t you go?” Because then I would have to respond, “I just didn’t feel like it.” When I know I gave you a different impression earlier. That no one bothered to even ask, “Do you need a ride?” Well no, considering all my friends have boyfriends now, who I don’t know and I feel awkward asking... Hell, they could have called considering they’re all freaking super glued to their cells phones. But hey, even blood has forgotten. Before they’d assume, now, nothing. That HURTS. We used to be so close. I thought we could talk about anything. I guess I was wrong. They’re more concerned with whose pants they’re getting into than just, anything. When was the last time they sat and watched the rain or go through an old box of mementoes??

I feel cut off. Everything that I’m used to, is gone. “It’s always raining inside my head.” It’s like no matter what I do, I will never be good enough. I will never be one of them. All I’m good for is a few laughs, someone to make others feel good and feel better about themselves.

I get sick every time someone says that they’re FAT. Especially, when people comment on what I eat/times that I eat and my weight, because what every teenage girl wants is to be told, “You’ve gained weight.” GEE, thanks. I haven’t noticed, my clothes keep getting tighter. There are some serious scars on my body. People have asked if I’ve been attacked by some wild animals because of my stretch marks. Even my freaking DOCTOR!! Forty pounds overweight. Have you seen my family?? Genes aren’t exactly helping much. It’s not that I don’t eat healthy foods. I’m just not active. I don’t like sports because I feel slow. Forget contact sports. Nature doesn’t agree with me either. Summer is horrible, bugs, allergies, and every girl around you looking smaller than you and showing off their body. It’s not that easy. The one thing I love-swimming just makes me self-conscious. I’d rather hide under the waves. And people wonder how people get EATING DISORDERS.

Clothes, styles, is something else that’s f***** up. I LOVE black and “punk,” “emo,” and “goth” stuff. It fits me much better than that prep crap everyone tried to SHOVE down my throat. They don’t care about what people think of them or about what or who you are. They care about you being honest. I wrote in my yearbook that I dislike FAKE and NORMAL. It’s true. I like those that push the limit that break boundaries. So why is it, that the people that say that they’ll love me no matter what, try to force me into something that I don’t want or like??

HOMOPHOBES-A group of people I HATE. Let me make this CLEAR, since when does it matter, how and who someone screws is anybody’s business?? Seriously, does it matter in a job profession who someone goes to bed with on their off time?? Because, honestly, I don’t really care or want to know about anyone’s sex life unless it’s a story I’m reading, straight, gay, or otherwise. Let’s add icing to the cake, it’s been around for THOUSANDS of years. For more reasons why I hate homophobia, check my FANFICTION.NET profile.

RELIGION-I hate religion. It is a man-made belief. I don’t need you SHOVING it down my throat. Especially, the HOLIER THAN THOU attitude. And for the Catholics/Christians/whatever, JESUS was JEWISH. He only became a prophet when he was 33 and before that he was a CARPENTER. He had a LOVER and he WASN’T MARRIED. Let me tell you a piece of advice at teacher once told my class, “Read the bible, not as a religious text. As it has some of the best war stories.” Read it, it has some of the STUPIDEST things. Believe me. You’d be surprised how many people are committing SINS.

Is pissed that I have a floor set on Halloween so not only can I not go out like I planned, but I am miss seeing a close friend I haven't seen since she moved.

*is majorly bummed* :cry:

Why am I still awake at.... *checks clock* 3:46am?! :cry:

Damn you insomnia!! :illgetu: You screws up all my sleepy sleep time. :sleep:

I am just about to the point where I just let it all go. My mom is really just making me sick. It's little things she does that let me down.

For example:
On Wednesday, she got mad because she said that we never did anything we were expected to do as her children, even though she does everything we expect her to do. She said she was going to have to stop giving us so many priviliges and do only the basic things.
Okay, so the next day comes around, and my two little sisters have a mandatory flag meeting after making the team. When we're about to leave on the bus home, my little sister tells me we're car riders. I'm tyring to stay out of trouble, so I tell her that I don't care and that mom didn't tell us that, so we should go home on the bus. When we get home, my mom is sitting there in her car, with the flags in there and our little sister is standing in front of her. She says that she knew that this was going to happen. And then she tells me that is made a Jacka** of myself for saying that to my little sister and that I was only thinking about my self.
All the while i'm pretty upset because she did all this to test us and when we did wrong she got uberupset.
She makes me so MAD!!!


Estoy a punto del punto donde acabo de permitir todo va. Mi mamá realmente sólo me hace enfermo. Es cosas pequeña que hace que me falló.

Por ejemplo: El miércoles, ella se enfadó porque dijo que nosotros nunca hacíamos nada que fuimos esperados hacer como sus niños, aunque haga todo que la esperamos hacer. Dijo que iba a tener que parar darnos tanto priviliges y hacer sólo las cosas básicas. Bien, así que se recupera al día siguiente, y mis dos hermanas pequeñas tienen una bandera obligatoria que encuentra después de hacer el equipo. Cuando estamos a punto de salir en el camión en casa, mi hermana pequeña me dice que somos jinetes de coche. Tyring quedarse afuera de problemas, así que la digo que yo no cuido y que mamá no nos dijo que eso, así que debemos regresar a casa en el camión. Cuando llegamos a casa, mi mamá se sienta allí en su coche, con las banderas ahí adentro y nuestra hermana pequeña se para delante de ella. Dice que supo que esto iba a suceder. Y entonces me dice que es hecho un Jacka** de yo mismo para decir que a mi hermana pequeña y que yo sólo pensaba de mi ser. Todo el tiempo yo soy trastornado bastante porque hizo todo que esto probarnos y cuando agraviamos consiguió uberupset. ¡Me hace tan LOCO!!!

"I think I might GAUGE my ears."

I cannot stand it when people use terms incorrectly. It's a huge annoyance for me, and lately it's getting ridiculous. It's so rare that I meet anyone else who knows the correct terms that now I nearly have an orgasm when I'm speaking with someone and they say "stretched ears/lobes/earlobes."

"Gauge" is a measuring unit for the thickness of wire. You're not going to measure your ear, morons. You're going to stretch them.

I told a group of acquaintances of mine that I was going to stretch my earlobes, and they started gagging and commenting about how "sick" and "gross" it sounded, while I was confused because they each had stretched their ears to at least 4g. After a few moments, I described to them what stretching your earlobes is, and they did the whole nod and "Ohhh" shebang. They then added, "You mean GAUGES," and laughed and looked at each other like I was stupid. I won't be able to describe how irratating that was for me, and I just wanted to rip their plugs, tunnels, and tapers out from their ears. But, instead I paused, laughed in their faces, then proceeded to explain to them that they are wrong and what's the correct way to say it.

I almost don't think that people should be allowed to stretch their ears if they don't know the proper way to say it. The majority of the time when I say that I need to size up or clean my tapers, fellow ear-stretchers ask me what I'm talking about. I'm starting to think that body modifications are getting trendier by the day, but even more so ignorance is.

I'm feeling extremely frustrated/depressed lately because I'll be leaving home in a few weeks to go to Texas. Of course, I still have my responsibilities piling up on me (going to school, getting into shape for training, choir, etc.) and I really just want people to stop bugging me (at least for now). Plus, I have to sort out this mess that conflicts with my leave date too (I was scheduled to leave before my college finals).
