My dad is REALLY depressed right now....he says he never wants to work in such a horrible industry where everyone is a tool that is used up and thrown away....
I'm really scared that my dad won't even LOOK for a job now...V_V
I mean, what is he going to do, all alone in the house with everyone at school (my mom luckily got a job working at a kindergarten), and me away in Santa Cruz?!
I mean, we do have guns in the house....what if he killed himself?
I'm really afraid right now because he's just in a horrible horrible place right now. My dad never had any kind of job before he got the one that he worked 25 years at...he's getting older...he sounds like he's lost most of his hope.... *cries*
I've tried so hard to make my dad proud by doing all the housework and getting phenominal grades in school and taking care of him and such, but it's really not helping him........ crying

Talk to him. Maybe you really don't have to worry, or maybe what you fear is true and you can get him some help. Ask him directly, no beating around the bush. Just talk to him.

I think it's primarily up to him to make any kind of progress: your helpfulness is a part of it yes, but to me it seems like he just needs a push to get himself in the feeling that he can go get another job. I would have a long, serious talk with him and try your hardest to get through to him. Compliments, prior achievements, facts, etc should be used, just to make him realize he can go out and get another job just like anyone else c an after being laid off/fired. smile

Hopefully everyone can get the general drift of this. But don't feel any particular need to read it or anything. I just felt like saying it to make me less pissed.
I'm really annoyed right now. Y'see, I'm the sort of person that doesn't get stressed too easily. If left to my own devices, with no reminders or excessive interuptions, I can get everything I have to done without getting stressed out about it. Now, apparently a certain maternal figure in my immediate family just doesn't notice that, doesn't care, or resents how difficult it is to stress me out so works her hardest to do so. Anyways, she wastes hours of my time basically telling me she thinks I should drop half of my extracurricular activities because I won't have time for them, but claims she isn't even hinting that I should drop any of them (Yes, saying, "How are you going to have time to do all of that stuff? It doesn't seem like you will." and stuff like that isn't even hinting that she might want me to drop some of my activities), telling me every little detail of what I have to do, and when I have to do it, stopping me from doing these things to tell me that I need to get these things does, reminding me of other things I have to do while I'm trying to finish things I really really need to focus hard on, and similar things. Plus, instead of telling me she just doesn't want me to do something, she tells me I can and then manipulates my schedule somehow so I can't. This stresses me out, and makes it impossible for me to concentrate on anything I'm trying to get done. It's really aggravating, because the last time I tried to tell her this, she said something to the likes of, "Well, if you would get it done, then I wouldn't have to keep reminding you."

You know, my mom does that often, and what I realized works is that I look at her in the eyes and ask:
"You know what would be nice, mom?"
She would go: "No, what?"
And I'd reply: "It'd be nice if you got off my case and let me do things instead interrupting me to tell me I have to do what I plan to do anyway. I would like it very much, mom, if you'd back off, thank you very much."
And then I'd be on my merry way.

Just another of Koiyuki's Infamous BitchRants. XP Scarlet Jile The Japanese spend excessive amounts of time in study. With an educational system that all must begrudgingly admire, they are undoubtedly of the world's most brilliant people, able to fabricate incredible technology that leaves other nations dumbfounded. Things like... Japanese Hentai. Wait, hold on... what? These people could be curing diseases and solving global issues, but instead a considerable few have decided to make the most vile pornography I've ever had the misfortune of almost witnessing. Who the ******** wants to see a little white girl get raped by a giant tentacle monster? Obviously more people than we should be comfortable admitting, since the fanbase for these painfully ridiculous "cartoons" is gigantic. The Japanese aren't soley to blame; these pathetic little American kids duct-tape the corner of their eyes to the back of their heads and wear shirts that could say anything from "I'm a stupid, filthy American" to "I like tentacle monsters," but they don't have a damn clue because it's Japanese, making it automatically mysterious and cool. You people need to either: A.) Forget the porn; you're too young. or B.) Find yourself a good girlfriend and have frequent, real-life SEX. Now make with the extended discussion! *time for Koiyuki's infamous b***h rant mode* Alright, so you think Japan is the devil because they make animated pron, eh? Well, to start with... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!That has got to be one of the most idiotic statements I've heard in my 5 months here on Gaia. For many, many reasons. One: They're not the only country making porn. Hell, America is probably one of its biggest rivals in the porn industry. And Two: This is NOT the worst end of the spectrum. Theres scat, theres bondage, theres the infamous pron type where someone is always killed by the end. And guess what? More than 80% of those did NOT come from Japan. And Three, we could be doing the same s**t but are we? NO, we're here typing away at a computer screen earning virtual gold for an avi we cant even hold or feel. And somewhere out there, someone might want to see a little girl get penetrated by tentacles, and you know what? thats their business, not yours. Does it effect you when someone buys a hentai? Does it effect you when a tentacle monster gets his? Does it effect you when some random person beats off to it? NO, it does not. And if getting a girlfriend does solve everything, then i suppose i can just go up to a girl and say, I'm horny as hell, lets go somewhere and get it on like rabbits *although sometimes this actually works* And besides that, what ******** right do you have to tell these people whats right and whats wrong? People have the right to choose what they want to watch and what they don't want to watch. You don't like what someones watching? Change the ******** channel. Go to a different webpage. In short, don't watch it Yes, child porngraphy is not great and yes children get raped in hentai, but consider this, would you rather see it happeneing on the screen or in your street? 'Cause if these people don't get off to some thing, they're gonna get off with some one. And to those that say its unreal...its a ******** cartoon, how can you expect it to stick to any ground rules of reality? Use common sense here. And i must say, pron is a good way to escape from the bullshit and backstabbing we call reality. And if men are the dominant race in hentai (or in general) Guess what? If women had more of an influence, men would be saying the exact same s**t. and women would not relinquish their power for a damn thing in the world; hell, men haven't yet, have they? And to those that say porn leads to rape, i say, yeah, it can happen, but a lot of rapists have had great child hoods in the good schools and away from all that nasty nasty porn, and they may seeem to be happy and carefree, and you know what? They still turned out to be some of Americas most notorious rapists, murderers, and just plain sociopaths in history. If i need to remind anyone of John Gacy . *shudders* Pornography may be a cause, but its not the only cause of these kinds of horrific atrocities. And to those that think these porn people are the scum of the earth, guess what? Even though they may draw porn or act it out for a living, they still have to make a living, and this is the only thing they know that can help them do that. They eat, they breathe, they sleep, they feel, and they cry, just like you and me. Hell, half the porn stars in the industry you probably wouldn't take for one at first glance. There may even be a few roaming around Gaia somewhere, lurking at this very topic. And this world may be filled and filled with sex, but you know what? Thats of our own doing. We made the pill, we made the condom, and we made every possible measure to ensure that we dont have babies when we screw, and so what do we do? We go at it like rabbits. And the more it improves, and more we test it and test it. The ad men saw that sex was selling like hotcakes, so they started putting sex in their videos and products commercials, and low and behold, the sales went through the roof. And the more sexy the stuff got, the more money they had to stuff their pockets. Simple, plain fact: Sex sells, and we love every bit we can get our hands on. And you know what? Unless we stop buyin', it won't stop sellin' And i don't see that happening any time soon. Personally, i think this is a great thing for us as a whole. We can come out in the open about our desires just a little more, we can share our love of this stuff with others, and we can get into a mixed marriage without worrying about a Lynch mob beating down the hall doors. You wanna keep you're old and outdated views? Fine, just leave the rest of us more open minded folk alone, ok?

Oh yeah, I remember now! That was the ignorant butt-sniffer that said this to me:Scarlet Jile Nobody takes you seriously. You have a chick with really big knockers in your sig. He's one of the big guys over at The Gaian Press. And one of the biggest idiots I've cared to pm in Gaia. I swear, the ignorance some people possess is astounding. How come he has followers everywhere? I mean, I'll check it out, but if The Gaian press is as onpen-minded as he is, I don't think it's any good.

Sad thing is, here's how he blew me off in the pm conversation. Not once did he take me seriously. Once I read it, I realized that people like him are nothing but simple-minded fools who'll only hear what they want to hear...Scarlet Jile Lord Vyce Scarlet Jile Nobody takes you seriously. You have a chick with really big knockers in your sig. Says the guy who can't be taken seriously for having a card game for a sig. Look, you ignorant fool, I can have anything I want in my sig as long as I don't offend or violate the TOS. I'd prefer to be taken seriously by the content in my posts, instead of the content in my sig. So do us all a favor and shut the ******** up, maggot. I send this, you know, in case you never visit the thread again.That's a good story. I like boobs too.

All right, I'll take advantage of the opportunity to rant a bit here. I'm sick of my sister thinking she's fat. She's annorexic/bullemic and some days is too ashamed to even to go school because she thinks people are constantly looking at her and thinking that she's fat. Of course, nothing anyone can say will change this... I understand that it's a much deeper issue than her just thinking she's fat. I'm just sick of it. She deserves to be happy and the only person preventing it is herself.

She deserves to be happy and the only person preventing it is herself. Maybe you should take the harsh way and say that the only thing keeping her from being attractive is the fact that she's too skinny and it makes her seem unhealthy? Sorry. That would be a bit too harsh. I'm just in a weird mood.

I bet he's really a pretty young teenager who's trying to make himself look good by making obnoxious comments. He probably gets followers from that same group. Besides, even if he isn't younger, he has the maturity of a particularly bratty little kid. He'll fail in life. That is my prediction.

That would be a bit too harsh. I'm just in a weird mood. Believe me, I've tried telling her that girls with some meat on their bones are much better than stick figures! Thing is, she isn't stick thin anymore... she's been binge eating. She used to purge the food by running (some girls purge through throwing up, she never has) but ever since she got a leg injury she hasn't been able to do that. It's not like she's fat. She's slightly overweight. She just thinks that she is.

My mom did that once to me Freshmen Year. I nicely told her in an affrimative way to ''let me choose what I want to do when I want to do it. I'm no child, thank you Mommy Dearest. *Shuts door*'' and she let me do my own thing from there on. Sucks that your mom is overcomplicating things for you, Chiku. sad
I think you need a serious talk with her. By serious, making sure she knows you mean buisness and you know what you are doing. smile
