TTBM #4? 5? I don't even-

TTBM: My dad has this annoying as fuck habit of trying to make me improve myself by giving me guilt trips and making me slightly depressed.

For example: today, he called me downstairs and showed me this video



The first thing he told me about this video was "this girl obviously didn't spend all of her time on the computer or in her room. She practiced."

He does this almost every time we see or hear someone talented. "He didn't waste his time like you. He did things."

Yes, dad. I can see that she practiced. Yes, dad, I know I have an electric guitar in my room that you got me for Christmas a few years ago, and I know that I rarely if ever practiced on it. I know I should've tried to play it more to become better. And yes, dad, I know I spend too much time on the computer or on my ipod. I know all of that, dad, and trust me, no one is more disappointed in all of this than myself.

But making me feel like an incompetent loser by comparing me to much more talented people isn't fucking helping. I know where you want to go with this. You think "maybe showing him this and commenting on it could push him in the right direction and motivate him to better himself." However, all I see in these moments is "LOOK AT HER. LOOK AT HOW TALENTED SHE IS. AND NOW LOOK AT YOU. WHAT A WORTHLESS SCREW UP YOU TURNED OUT TO BE."

And it's really depressing me, dad.

man, i fucking love eruption

she is trying way too hard though ugh
chill, lady, it's just music, not the labours of hercules

Apparently we have a pretty serious coal shortage in the UK, which means our heritage steam railways are in trouble. :[

TTBM: trackpads. I really, really hate trackpads.

TTBM: I'll be taking a break from the forum after today. I am not being forced, nor do I want to, but I feel like I need to take this break. I may check in every so often as a guest, I'll come back when I feel ready. Why I am taking this break is not because of the forum. I just need to take care of a few personal matter. I just need to break a bad habit that I have been unknowingly developing for a long time and I need to stop it. I'll miss you guys while I am away.

Sure, come back whenever you want.

BYE MOLTY. I'll save your place at table

I hate tech and not having admin permissions on this dang computer.
SERIOUSLY
I'M MOVING
FILES FROM ONE POINT OF THE HARD DRIVE WITHIN THE SAME FOLDER AND I CAN'T BECAUSE IT APPARNETLY WITHOUT ADMIN IT'S TOO AUDATIOUS AND I'M SCARED OF TICKING OFF DAD BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH I'VE BUGGED HIM ON SIMILAR MATTERS TODAY, I'M CHICKENING OUT ON GETTING HELP ON THIS.
STUPID COMPUTER. WHAT ABOUT THIS IS TOO HARD? I JUST WANT TO MOVE A COUPLE OF FILES AROUND, CALM DOWN.

We're all rebels. [ ]

TTBM: My dad is on strike from his job. Money is short. Still no sign of my sister giving me back my money or me getting hired for a job. Juggling through all sorts of appointements and things to do. I'm kinda tired.

What's he on strike for? Just because the union says? [ ]

did he realize he was in canada

Cube, you arrant rapscallion! I like the cut of your jib. [ ]

The appearance of the Cube of Reason was most fortuitous.

But the news about your Dad sucks.

TTBM: The thing about having 100+ people at a party means that you end up with a lot of thank you notes to write.

TTBM: My dogs are all being assholes.

TTBM: My Logitech Unifying Receiver broke (not even sure how), I only use it for my mouse, and the mouse still works just fine.  A new receiver + shipping would cost almost 18 EUR, when the entire mouse and the receiver together only cost 25 EUR when I bought it.

MADNESS.

Nothing bugs me today, you guys should be jealous at how zen I am right now.

TTBM: My back hurt like hell. It feels like someone hit me with a workbench or something. I can't even get up my chair.

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. I woke with this horrible pain in my side, actually, so I have an inkling of what you're going through. Have you been doing anything unusually strenuous?

So, a while ago I unfriended this guy on Facebook, on the ground I found him immature, annoying and unreliable when I asked him to do stuff. Now he's PM'd me asking why I unfriended him and I'm all OH GOD WHY LEAVE ME ALONE HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER. Really don't know what to say to him: I have zero interest in staying in touch with this guy.

Hey that happened to me a couple times, except instead of some guy, it was my mum.

God damn I hate that hag.

TTBM: I'm probably going to have the opening fanfare of Xevious stuck in my head all day/week/year...urgh...☻

TTBM: Rehearsals for my orchestra's July 4th concert start today. I'm nervous about it for no good reason.
Also I remembered something embarrassing I did like two years ago and now I just wanna stick my head through a window.
There are only so many times you can tell yourself FUCK IT I'M FABULOUS before it starts to ring a little false.
