This is simply a different medium in which one can enjoy books.
If you are afraid of pirating, then encrypt the files. Or only liscence the electronic copies to authorized dealers. Of course, there will be those to figure out how to by pass this. But overall, it should curtail this issue. Gosh this is the age of electronics. Get over your fear of living in the stone age already!
Ok, I'm pissed off. I was just reading a teen mag where that b&*&* Miley Cyrus is talking about how people talk about her because she has curves and big boobs. What curves Miley? In first place, you're flat, you don't have any curves and you're ugly. You're only famous because little kids like you [edit}
I really really want my friend to break up with this guy :flare: Obviously he's cheating on her but she won't listen. I have tried many subtle ways to tell her what i think of him but the fact that i don't have any substantial proof prevents me from interfering further..argh!!!
So I liked this girl. I liked her a lot. I liked her to the point where just thinking about her made me feel flustered and set my stomach churning. She was one of those girls where a person could sit there by themselves, rest their chin on their palm, and smile as they thought sweet things of her. I stumbled all over myself when I asked her out.
She thought I was cute and funny.
I don't think I've been happy like that in a long time. It wasn't something I'd experienced that much. I miss it, actually. I just miss loving someone like that. It was intoxicating to know that someone loved you that much and that you could so freely reciprocate the feeling. But she had an ex-boyfriend.
She'd gone on and off with him numerous times and they still talked regularly. They had so much history and inside jokes with each other, it was ridiculous. He was competition, and I'm not a competitive person. I never was. I did my best to hold onto her, to make her smile, but she seemed so distant to me all of a sudden. All she could talk about was of that bastard.
I'm not an idiot. I saw it coming.
I couldn't make her laugh. I couldn't make her smile. She tells me how much she reminds me of her ex. That should've been a flag but, I was blind, you see?
I tried my best, I promise you, I did. Who could I blame for my failures? It was my shortcomings and it was my problem. My problem, no one elses'. I sunk into a sort of shell around her. Depressed beyond belief. Angry and distant. I couldn't talk to her without both of us looking away uninterested. And that only made things harder and harder. There was a stake driven into the center of our relationship and the gap between us slowly became wider and wider.
She preferred hugs to kisses. She asked me what was wrong. I told her nothing. She knew that nothing meant everything. I felt like the ***** in the relationship. I pretty much was. She had me eating out of her hand. It was so pathetic.
Ugh
Lunch during the school day was one of those places I thought I could redeem myself. Say something witty without fear of falling into her ex's shadow. Suddenly he appears from no where and has the same lunch as us. We sit and eat and talk with her friends. The two of them huddle off into their little corner of the table and they snicker and giggle like best friends often do.
I could only clench my fists. I'm not a competitive person. I avoid conflict. I asked her to break up. I couldn't take this anymore. She tries to hold onto me saying that I should give her reasons why we should break up. I give her 10 and we're through.
And all of a sudden things are back to the way they were. We're friends, and all I can is see her smiling. We talk, and we giggle like school girls. She's the girl I love again.
We get back together and my hopes are renewed. It didn't last longer than a weekend. That small spark of hope, that faint feeling of tenderness in her touch, everything I admired so greatly of her, suddenly disappeared almost as fast as we got back together. I break up with her again. I can't take this anymore.
We have the same classes; I see her a lot through out the school day. I was her boy for months and I could tell that she was sad. She didn't wear her emotions often or flaunt her feelings like some girls do. But I could see when she was depressed. The guilt I had for her was so painful. Last shot for the both of us, I swear. We talk and I promise to her I'll try do better. I really think we can do this. I'll try hard. I'll change for her. Its my fault. Its my problem. Do better at what? Everything, I guess. The next day I see her and I curl up into a ball. I don't say a word to her. That was it. She breaks up with me.
I couldn't feel anything except loss. I mourned her. I still mourn her. She was my first love. And I hate her for it.
I see her sometimes this new year. She looks at me with a blank stare, devoid of emotion. I return the gaze, and I can't help but think that beneath the slightly sagging corners of our mouths there's some disappointment. Some remorse. Some sort of attempt of an apology. Like a subtle way to say that I loved you. That I miss you. That I know I shouldn't think of you. But I can't, because you're the first person I loved. But you ruined it, you piece of ****. You ruined it.
But I know she doesn't think like that. Because the one way that I could ever see her emotions was the way that she looked at me. She didn't flaunt her feelings like most girls at my school. You could only tell by looking into into her and seeing the joy you caused when you saw your reflection in the center of her yes. But I didn't see that. All I see is a dull, glazed stare from a girl I thought I knew.
I love you and I hate you for it.
I hope I can finally let go.
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think i'm going to have a breakdown if i cant ever get my pics off my memory card! My do these things always happen to me!!!:bawling::bawling::bawling:
:(
It's really awful to need someone you can never have...
Okay...I have a intense and unfathomable wrath now,I literally yearn to yell now!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A plethora and an innumerable of exclamation marks!
I genuinely want to be poised,but this idiosyncrasy pooped out.
I feel that I have already been deprived of my barbaric yawp.
I could not shout, but only wail.
Despite what they cost to keep, I suppose sentiments like the above make little brothers adorable!:rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:
LoL...ok, well I didn't know. Again, thanks for the help with my finances. One of these days I'm going to make it big and have a solar powered wheel chair made of gold for you :)
talk to you later,
Love your little(280lbs) brother--
It is WAY too easy to get a driver's license in the U.S. Has anyone else noticed that everyone else sucks at driving? I'm going to invent a device that allows me to selectively tap into other peoples' stereos so I can verbally abuse them through their cars' speakers whenever they cut me off, ride my bumper, drive too slow in the left lane or too fast in the right lane, etc.
its tough to get one here and people still drive like loonys. I think the mentality is, great! i've got my licence so feck all the driving miss daisy i've been doing! by not doing what they are ment to do they get bad habits, and things like that cause problems on the road. its everywhere.Quote:

I called the office this morning apparently yesterday was the chimney inspections which really annoys me, now I'm thinking the maintenance guy came in inspected the chimney, knocked the bird lose and left soot all over the tile.
oh...that doesn't sound really nice papayahead...a dead bird?...
i don't understand myself. i cannot understand why do i have to feel like this? why do i want to break up with him? he is a really nice guy. he may not be as handsome as i'd like him to, but i have a great time with him whenever we're together. but it really annoys me that i can't meet him more than twice a week. and what gets on my nerves even more is the fact that he thinks it sufficient!!!well, guess what, i don't!!!but is this a reason o break up? shouldn't i give this relationship a chance and be patient?God!!!! i just wanna screeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaammmmmmm!!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ok, i think i feel slightly better now.
i want god to smite all the hypocrites in this world in a very painful and humiliating way. maybe if get many people to want that same thing god will make it happen faster. people, please?
thank you.
Hospitals are full of stupid people!! I worked in one for years and I was often amazed by the ignorance of the big shots that worked there. I am not going to get into details, but today was an absolutely horrendous day. :flare: It ended up this way because the nurse ignored me and did something that was completely unbelievable. Then the doctor had to be an ---, too! :flare: Things didn't need to happen today, as they did, had these idiots just listened to me in the first place!!!!! :flare: :flare:
Hypocricy is the fastest way to learning your own problems
It's not being gay that bothers me but the fact that I loved one person in my entire life and they were straight and it was hell. Sorry no quotes to follow.
AAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHH I AM REALLY OVER PEOPLE PRETENDING THAT THEY KNOW ME AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION. Because they don't - they don't know a thing about it. So they can just go shut their faces. I'm sick of people not listening to me, and I'm even more annoyed at my inability to express myself the way I want to.
I feel better now :D
I hate my best friend/roommate's new boyfriend!! He's old and creepy and all his friends are married!!
Alright. I am convinced the world is just plain crazy! No, I take that back. I can't include the rest of the world. I have no idea what goes on anywhere else. I can definitely single out America!
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS ALREADY??!?!??!?
What is wrong with everyone?? I know people seem to want to rush everything and just get it all over and done with, but why do they? People aren't going to be flocking to stores any sooner on November 6th just because a tree is lit up!
I went down to a place called Pleasant Prairie yesterday. I drove past this outlet mall that they have there. Sure enough all of the big wreaths and garlands were up! Then I drove on into Kenosha. To my shock and surprise the decorations were up everywhere. I thought "Well, at least Milwaukee doesn't do that". I went to a movie later in the day. Sure enough the theater was hanging up snowflakes and lighting their tree!
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
I am obviously confused!! And very irritated! I worked in retail for years. I know the game. But why is it getting worse and worse every year? It used to be that nothing would happen until the day after Thanksgiving. That was nice. Now, it is all over the place in early November. Halloween was a week ago!!
It just seems to me that when people want to rush things like this, they are rushing their lives, too. I don't like that sort of thing. If they want to rush through their lives, fine. Don't do it to everybody else. I just think Christmas decorations on November 6th is sad. But that is my opinion and my rant for the day. :)
Haha.. I agree.. I saw people putting up christmas lights and decorations on Nov 1.. it seems some people think that the day after halloween is the start of Christmas season.. I personally think these people are crazy... But here in Canada it might be a little different as our thanksgiving is in October... so it's all smooth sailing up to christmas... no more holidays to interrupt... :p
haha.. yeah it is so strange when friend's go out with much older people... I don't know almost anyone who is married yet.. though that might be strange as I am 24.. I have one friend who is married and the rest, well it doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon lol.. even people I know who have been together for a few years don't seem to be planning on getting married at any point in the near future...Quote:

It's not even about him being older (he's 27, she's 19). I don't care about an age difference, if maturity seems to be fairly well matched. It's just that he's immature! If he were of appropriate maturity and she was very mature for her age, then that's one thing. But he is at her maturity level, and I have a problem with a 27 year old who wants to come to university parties and hang out with her other 19 year old friends. And his friends being married is also not a problem, if the first time we met them hadn't been in a bar with his married friend hitting on me! CREEEEEEP. Do you know what I mean though? Or am I being completely ridiculous?Quote:

I guess they just haven't really grown past the first year university phase... oh well... and married guys going to the bar to try to pick up is really creepy and sad and lame.. So, no I don't think you are being ridiculous at all.. him and his friend(s) sound like very mature people lol :p
Well, they were selling Christmas merchandise a few weeks before Halloween. I am not thrilled about that either, but I will accept that before getting all decked out with wreaths and trees and lights and snowflakes!! I do admit to liking the fact that they put the Christmas candy out early, though. It is so fresh then. :p Other than that, I disapprove of this nonsense!Quote:

I think a few times when I drank too much I even turned them on when I would get home... which must have been strange for the neighbours lol.. But I took them down when I came back and decided to sell my place.. I just figured the christmas lights in september wouldn't relly add value to my place haha..Quote:

yeah, us canadians are pretty strange.. maybe it is our proximity to the north pole lol.. year round christmas kind of thing... :pQuote:

Yeah, I thought the same thing. You can't even chalk that up to laziness. Eventually all the bulbs started burning out...a few more every night. It took awhile, but once it was over, it was Christmas time again.Quote:
