Rants: Everyday Venting

[The Past]

Usually (at least where I am in the US) what people are worried about is the second hand smoke, not the smoker. Outside it shouldn't matter, but some people still think a small whiff of cigarette smoke in the open is going to give them instant cancer. Dramatic, but ech.

[Denimonster]

Yeah. I can't say smoking isn't as bad as what people make it out to be, because that's not always true, but a little bit isn't going to harm you unless you're exposed to it every day.

On another note, I have no sympathy for people who fake being mentally ill.
I could write paragraph upon paragraph on this subject, but I'll just say this:
It is not cool, exotic, or amazing to be clinically depressed, bipolar, or to have dissociative identities.
Being "insane" is not cute or funny. These are serious conditions and should be treated as such. Getting distracted easily doesn't mean you have ADHD, and "social anxiety" is not just shyness.

I could justify this with explaining that I've experienced most of these things, but I haven't, so you're just going to have to trust my terrible judgment. Mental illness is not a trend. It is not there to be exploited by over dramatic preteens who think their life "sux" and write shit about their feelings and trying to overcome "the darkness".

I'm supposed to be over the stomach virus I had today, but I'm still unable to go an hour without using the toilet. Everything keeps flowing out, and I don't want to go to bed now because I don't want to do anything in the bed, and I really should have been working on essays for the past weekend and have been unable to due to this damned inability to hold it in. I just want it to end.

You shouldn't stress Cifero. If you're sick than you need rest.

<Insert long, multi-paragraph rant about family and their shit>

To be honest I don't like being around people when they're smoking. I tend to walk past quickly since smoking smells badly and I can't stand it very well. Plus inhaling the smoke is also bad for my health.

Yeah, I'm the same way.

Uh oh. It's that time again.

>insert everyday rant here<

Honestly, I always find it funny how people tend to react when they find out I smoke. It's always either them not believing that *I* would be someone smoking, or them trying to convince me it's bad for me, or the usual "You shouldn't *have* to smoke to get [insert thing here]"

I joke about how my first retail job drove me to smoking [cigars], and that usually after a full shift I would have one. Then it's always "You shouldn't need one to relax after work, you have a problem." I mean, I wonder if they say the same thing to people who drink their one glass of wine or one bottle of beer. And it's always funny when people try to tell me about how addictive it is. Well, fun fact, I've gone weeks, if not months, without wanting or needing to light up. Same thing with drinking really, which I went a whole year without doing. It's just something that I do occasionally, and enjoy, and helps calm my nerves if things are too tense. Besides, there's much more unhealthy and illegal things I could do for the same results!

OT: My roommate has been an ass about my mate and I leaving even a single dish unattended in the kitchen, yet today I get home to an *pot on the stove with dried, crusty, smelly mac&cheese.* I put it in the sink to soak, but I'm gonna be interested to see what he says about it, if he doesn't just end up washing it. He had the nerve to say him and his GF shouldn't have to "parent" my mate, but he doesn't work even, and we let them move in as a favor.

[Cecilia Peromi]

I'm going to tell you what I said earlier today. Just be careful.

[Nrein]

I'm pretty careful with it. I don't do it in excess and I don't really do anything too extreme. Ironically it's because of my family always smoking indoors that a case of tonsillitis I had actually ended up turning into an almost-killed-me-medical-marvel. So I know the risks, but, oh well.

[138]

I can't find the style of skateboard I want. Darn.

[The Past]

A relative shared a post on Facebook that may mean I won't have a good time if/when I come out.

[Cecilia Peromi]

Oh Gevnry... You should just do it. Think about yourself and what would make you happy. It's not worth being afraid and miserable. It's not.

[Nrein]

Personally I never "came out" about my orientation, but I've never really kept it a secret either. Where I live, and the family I have (outside of my parents/grandparents), a lot of bad attitude is still held against anyone not-straight by the majority. So, I usually just don't say anything, unless anyone asks, in which I'll just tell.

Granted I never even like, told my parents. One day I just ended up living having a dude around and they were fine with it.

OT: This four day mini-vacation felt so short x.x I can't wait until Spring Break to have a proper vacation.

I tried to talk to a supposed friend about something he had been doing that was hurting me and now he said hes gonna kill himself ad wont answer back. See this is why I know im meant to be walked on. Everytime I stand up for myself shit like this happens

[Setcho]

A stomach bug, then migraine with a side of sprained neck.


Oh boy what an Easter, hopefully it stops before my birthday on Thursday.
