Very funny Shadow man.

Any way now I've got something new to rant about.If any of you seen the ad for the neew transformers series and felt like apart of you died. Well I'm pretty sure everyone has. So anyway, I can't believe they changed the animation style!
Transformers is apart of American Culture And Messing with the animation is a crime among fans!! Sure it has the original autobots/decepticons from the original,But it looks like it was done by the artists for "super robot monkey team hyperforce go!" Whoever committed this crime should pied and be blasted out of a cannon for making Bumblebee look like a girl!

Okay, I was trying to make this stupid turn into my school parking lot this morning. Since I had less than five minutes to get there before the bell rang, I wanted to get into the lot between the third and fourth cars that were driving down the other lane. That meant I had to go rather quickly. Unfortunately, due to the angle of the sun in the sky (but mostly 'cause of my rushing), I totally missed noticing a pedestrian trying to cross the same place I was about to turn into. I missed him by about half a foot. He was screaming at me, yelling, "WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" I sorta yelled "SORRY!" back at him, but I don't think he heard me. It made me feel really bad, 'cause I really should have noticed him before chancing the turn, and as it turned out, another minute or so would've still gotten me to school on time. Plus, it was the first time I'd nearly hit someone, so I dislike driving even more now.

And as if that weren't enough, something else happened after school that got me into another bad mood. I was sitting on a bench reading while a (male) friend of mine sat nearby, watching me. He was kinda wanting attention, but I was more intent on reading at that moment. Then these two girls walked over. I'll call them A and B. B sits down and goes "Hi." After we greet her too, she asks, "So, are you guys really together?" Both of us told her no. She turns to A and goes "See?" A went, "No, really, they are! See, he likes her, and she likes him!" I tried explaining that it might seem like we were an 'item' only because I tended to hang out more often with guys than girls, but thanks to a rather inappropriate comment my friend made, A and B now refer to me as "player girl."
It pisses me off. It really does. I know I shouldn't get all flamed up over this, since I'm about to go to college (where I'll no doubt be teased even more about things like this), but I can't stand being accused of flirting or having a boyfriend when I'm just trying to talk to my friends. It's a sort of reaction that I've had ever since elementary school. Back then, guys were much more interesting than girls. They'd run all over the playground playing...I don't know, cowboys and ninjas or something while the girls sat in circles playing house. Which I found extraordinarily boring. As a result, almost all of my friends were guys, even as early as kindergarten. Some girls in sixth grade decided to tease me about it, finding me every day at snack and asking me why I played with boys so much. They also said I was flirting with a classmate when in reality, we were comparing the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. >>

Sorry. It got really long. But I'm really having a bad day...I think I'll go take a nap. - -

I remember it being pirates and ninjas, this stuff is everywhere :)
Also im not trying to P.O. you in anyway, its just...that was a funny line!

I'm aware of the pirates and ninjas thing that's everywhere lately. But I clearly recall it being cowboys. I don't think the pirates moved in until later. Or I'm ignorant. Or it was cowboys and something else, not ninjas. @.@

Dang memory failures.

Never call yourself ignorant like that. True ignorance comes from people who are unable to admit they actually have flaws.

Which brings me to a little rant of my own. You guys should be glad you haven't seen the spriting community like I have. It has officially gone to hell. The sad thing is that nobody wants to actually believe this to be fact. (Save for a few individuals) Which sickens me really. Especially when I read a post with the following statement. And I quote:

Forums are built and die all the time. Get over it

It's arrogance like this that makes me wretch. Especially when it comes from people who pretend they're /b/tarded. No I'm not one myself, but I know a poser when I see one. My friend Merku is a real /b/tard. Whereas all of the jerks found at MG only THINK they're /b/tarded just by reading some choice articles on ED and attacking others just because they're different. It's like High school all over again. Or rather like High School MUSICAL. Where if you don't "Stick to the status quo" you're gonna get humiliated and laughed at and called LOLCOW until you're banned for being the victim and not the antagonist.

I'll say this though. One of the big perks about being shunned from all of these once great places is that they'll now blame me for anything that goes wrong with them. And I'm just sitting here laughing my butt off!

Whee...I'm back with another rant. This time, sadly, about my maternal grandmother. I'm not sure if you guys remember, but I was being forced to move out of my room this past summer in preparation for her return from China after about five years. Well, I got my room back, and my grandma sleeps downstairs on a sofabed. But that's not the problem. The problem is that as a kid, her parents spoiled her until she got this messed-up mentality that she's the most important person in the world. And now, in her 80's, she's depending on my mother to provide all the comforts she's used to having. She does nothing but sit around all day, watch TV, read, eat, and sleep. And she sleeps at, like, 8. Which means for another three or four hours the rest of us have to be extremely quiet.
Not only that, she's driving my mom insane by constantly sighing when other people are around. As my dad has work and my sister and I have school, that means she's sighing while my mom's around. My mom hates that. She'd love to just ditch my grandma at one of her siblings' houses, but my grandma wouldn't like that. In fact, the only reason she's back in the US at all is because she threatened to slit her wrists and kill herself if she stayed in China much longer. She criticized her house there as being dirty, and said everyone else living there was noisy. Meanwhile, our relatives that actually own the house don't care about her at all; they just want the couple thousand dollars my mom sends over every year. In short, my extended family is a bunch of conceited (censored)s that don't care if my grandma lives or dies, just so long as they don't have to worry about her.
On top of that, my mom has started ranting about my grandma to me (or my dad) whenever it's just the two (or three) of us in the car. Which I guess isn't too bad because I'm never the one driving; I'd have gotten distracted and crashed long ago. But all her rants ever do is make me dislike my grandma more. She calls people's houses dirty/untidy, or says the people there are mean or selfish, constantly calls my mother's house the best, and then is surprised when she notices those people don't like her. My mom is also feeling..."bad"s not the word, it's rather worse than that. Basically, my mom has acted the nicest toward my grandma out of everyone alive that knows her, and yet my grandma is calling her a disobedient child. It really hurt my mom, and when my mom mentioned this to me on one of those car trips, I got mad too.
Just now, after dinner, my parents got into a shouting argument over my sister, who's been doing rather badly in her piano practices. My mom wanted my sister to hurry up and practice the piano for an hour before my grandma went to bed, 'cause both of us kids have found doing ANYTHING with my grandma around tends to be very unefficient. My dad yelled back at her to stop nagging her daughter and to let her eat, to which my mom yelled more stuff that's started to slip my memory already. My grandma totters by and, since she's more than half-deaf, asks, "What is it? Why all the shouting?" I was very, very, very tempted to tell her "It's you." In English. 'Cause then she wouldn't know a (censored) word I said.

Yikes. She's 80 and she still thinks she can do any thing she wants without reason? I'm sure glad my grandmas arn't like that. Wanna trade? My mom could put her in her place just like that.

That sounds like a very cliche' soap opera. Or a cartoon. Cant remember which right now

Ok, off topic a little but... So Mandi, can you speak Chinese?

Post by **BionicleMandi121** » Sat Feb 23, 2008 5:21 pm

Yes. Obviously not at the level I can speak English, but technically, Chinese was the first language I learned. Just...since I started using English a lot more, I got better at it faster.

Wow, she walks all over your mom, my God! Tell her to stop talking about what she (your mom) wants to do about her and start doing something about it!

And on my rant, I just had permission to use the computer, and to my suprise, my dad deleted both GrandChase and Trickster, I downloaded Trickster on Xfire so thats a relief, but not Grandchase, Also when my dad downloaded new security for the computer, when I play CoD4, Its slow as heck! Not what the master sniper is used to, plus the computer is starting to get slow for some reason... IM P***** OFF RIGHT NOW!
