Inconsiderate people (Once again) [Jan. 10th, 2008 || 08:55 am]

[Currently feeling | annoyed]
[Currently listening to |Whatever shit that stupid kid is blasting]

I'm so sick of inconsiderate people. People only care about themselves and it's really fucking retarded. Not only are people assholes on the road but they'r also assholes everywhere else(go figure, right?). I'll start out with the non-road incidents. 

People in my schools are one big pet peeve of mine. Everything they do, from the stupid meaningless subjects they talk about to the dumb places they stand in the halls. Every day during passing periods there are always a bunch of dumbasses standing in the most retarded place possible. There's a part in my school that is extremely busy. (why the school is even set up like this is beyond me, but) there are two sets of stairs on either side of the wall. Next to the stairs(between them, on each side) are the doors to the locker rooms. Between those is what used to be our senior lounge(It's now a lunch line). So, during passing there are kids pouring on and off of the stairs, there are kids going through the hallways on either side of the stairs, there are kids forming a line for lunch, and there are kids going in and out of the locker rooms for gym. So, you can only imagine how many people there are at any given time. You know how in parking lots there are some spaces that have the diagonal lines on them meaning you can't park there? Well we have the same thing on the floor in that busy area that goes up until the actual lockers start on the side walls of the cafeteria. The administrators call it the "No Standing Zone." What I don't get is why mass hordes of people like to stand around in this area during all of this busy traffic. There are people just standing around in random clusters laughing, making out, talking and/or rapping(yes, rapping.. ) about really stupid shit. The people that are making out are the worst. If you want to show PDA fine I have no problem with that, but when I walk by and I can hear you making out you need to fucking stop because I don't care how hot you are, that's fucking disgusting. Anyway, then there are the people who just stand around and block passing space. There's already a 50 foot long lunch line which is enough of an obstacle but when there are also random clusters of people around it that just makes it even worse. I have no problem if you want to stand around and look stupid, by all means feel free to do so but for fucks sake do it in a place that's not already overloaded with students! Then there are the kids who are like the people on the road. They do something stupid, you get pissed off and throw them the finger, and they give you what I like to call "the dumb face" like it's your fault. Or sometimes they'll honk their horn back at you. Example: Two people are making out in the middle of the hallway. I'm trying to get to class so I rush and purposely shove the girl out of my way to give her the hint that she needs to fucking move. As I'm walking away she yells "Some people need to watch where they're going!" at me. I turn around and yell "Well watch where you're making out, dumbass." People are so stupid and inconsiderate it's not even funny. They're just constantly getting in the way. The halls are already jam packed like a damn sardine can, so when everybody else is steadily moving to keep the flow of traffic, YOU DON'T STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF IT TO SAY HI TO YOUR PASSING FRIEND. YOU WILL, I REPEAT YOU WILL, GET TRAMPLED. When people do that it makes me think of being on the intersection of the busiest high way in the area with another minor(but still very busy) highway or boulevard. All traffic is flowing steadily when all of a sudden, a car swings and does a U-turn over the median and chases another car down only to stop at the center of another extremely busy intersection, roll their windows down, and talk for ten minutes while all other cars are screeching and racing past them almost hitting them because they're in the middle of a goddamn intersection talking about something that can easily wait until they run into them again. --Which brings me to idiot drivers. The other day there was a pickup truck with a trailer(like one you put a boat on) attached to the back of it, backed up into someone's driveway. The trailer is of course too long to fit with the truck in the driveway so it's just the trailer and half the truck in the driveway and the whole front end of the truck is out in the middle of the road. There's just enough room for one car to pass around it on my street. Now, this wouldn't be that bad except for the fact that this person lived on the corner of my street and a busy highway. So, instead of doing the logical thing and parking the truck with one side on the sidewalk and the other on the street where only a foot or so of the truck is in the road, they park it where the whole front end is in the road instead. So, as I'm coming up my street to make a turn, I have to go around the truck and swerve back to the right really quick in case a car is trying to turn into the street. The truck is parked maybe ten feet from the stop sign, which is hardly enough room to maneuver your own car out of the way when getting back on the right side of the road after going around it. So, I manage to do that, I go pick up some food, come back, and this time a car was just going around the truck and since there's only enough room for one car to get through, me and the guy almost hit eachother. So, I go home and call my dad to let him know to take the back road so he doesn't have to deal with this moron. Anyway, the next day as I'm coming home between classes at school, there's another pick up truck that was stopped in the same spot(but on the other side of the road so it was on the right side where I had to be instead of the left), with his wondow rolled down, talking to some guy on the side walk. I was about to make my turn when this huge raised pickup truck(the gigantic off-roading wheels, the lights on the top, the scoop..etc...) came up the road to make a right turn and was now in my way because the other dumbass decided to stop and talk to someone. So that side of the road is blocked by a dumbass, and the other side is blocked by another truck. I now have nowhere to turn into the street so I have to wait until one of them move. Meanwhile a line is building up behind me in the turning lane and I can't do anything about it. Finally the big truck moves and I can turn into my street. The other guy was still there talking to someone. Now look, I don't care at all if you want to stop and talk to someone on the sidewalk, that's fine. BUT if you're going to do that you need to either not do it at a corner, or park on the sidewalk instead of just stopping in the middle of the road(But preferably both).

There are SO many stories of mine involving stupid drivers but If I typed them all at once it'd take you four hours to read one journal entry. But anyway, just remember to always be alert while driving and never run a stop sign or red light. Always pay attention and realize when you're doing something stupid.

WTF MOM [Dec. 3rd, 2007 || 04:43 pm]

[I am |My room]
[Currently feeling | worried]
[Currently listening to |Nothing]

Today while I was at my boyfriend's house we were laying odnw watching a movie and all of a sudden he kind of jolted and curled up in a ball and was saying his chest was hurting him. He said it hurt to breathe and to move. Both sides of his family have a history of heart problems, so naturally that's the first thing that comes to mind. I call his parents(they ran up to the store) and they came home right away. By the time they got back it was still hurting him, but not as much as before. He was able to sit up and walk and all that with no problem, he just said it still hurt when he took a deep breath. He said it felt like a bunch of weight was on him and like his bones were closing in on his chest. Anyway, we were all debating on either taking him to the hospital/ER or his parents making a doctor's appointment for a few days from now to get it checked out. He had work soon, which was why he didn't want to go to the ER. How dumb to put your job before your health.. ahem.. well anyway.. He ended up stupidly going to work so I told him if it gets really bad and he needs to go home to call me and I'll be right there since I live really close to where he works(assuming if it's really bad where he needs to go to the hospital right away they'd call 911 first.. I just mean if he's okay but it hurts too much do move around and work to call and I'll pick him up). Anyway, so he goes to work and I get home and I let my mom know what's going on and that if I randomly rush out the door that that's why. She said she'd want to go with me because she doesn't want me to panic and not be able to drive. I said okay but if he calls me and she went out or I can't find her in the house or something that I'm not going to wait for her and I'm just going to go and call her on the way to let her know I left to get him. She was saying she wasn't going to be leaving anywhere to she'd be able to go with me. I said okay but if by some chance you happen to go out, or I can't find you for whatever reason that I'm not waiting. She kept saying she's not going out and I understood that but I was still explaining that if she's not right there next to me if/when he calls, that I'm not going to waste time looking for her or calling her to get her shoes on or whatever. Then she kept getting all mad saying that I WILL wait and I'm like wtf no I won't, I'm not going to waste time like that just because you want to go with me. If my boyfriend is going to the hospital or needs me like that I am NOT waiting. How DARE she put her preference before my boyfriend's health. If someone was dying on my floor and she didn't have shoes on there's no way in hell I'm going to wait for her to put shoes on, I'm going to get them to the damn hospital(or call 911 whatever, but you know what I mean). I just can't believe she got that mad over the fact that I wouldn't wait for her if she wasn't right there. I understand she's worried about me and wants to make sure I can drive there but her being in the passenger seat isn't going to do shit either. It's only going to hurt the both of us if I got into an accident somehow. I ended up just saying forget it and slamming my door. Like I said, I understand she'd be worried but my boyfriend's life isn't worth her having shoes on so I'm NOT going to wait for her if she's not right there.

Ugh.. Okay, well I was on my space, searching up the names of people I knew in elementary and middle school that I haven't seen since then. I remembered the name of a kid I was best friends with in Kindergarten. I won't put his real name but I'll name him Joe. "Joe" and I were beset friends. We called eachother boyfriend and girlfriend but we were so young we didn't really know what it meant and we didn't have feelings for eachother like that(or at least I didn't). I decided to message him since I found him on myspace. I asked him if he went to my elementary school(to make sure it was him). He said yes and asked why. I told him who I was and what my name was to see if it rang a bell at all. He remembered me right away, gave me his phone number and asked what I had been up to throughout the years. I told him and asked him what he's been up to and all that and it was a pretty decent paragraph of text. He didn't answer any of my questions or anything(just like what college he's going to, what's his major..etc.. just conversation). He just said that was a lot and asked me if he could call me. It was 1am so I said not right now but feel free to text and I gave him my cell number. I didn't think he'd really call me or text me much anyway, I figured he'd mainly just talk to me on myspace and occasionally send me a text, which is fine. He called me three times today and texted me once. I was at my boyfriend's house and don't feel like sitting on the phone forever because that's rude, so naturally I just hit ignore. Anyway, in his next message(on myspace, not text) he asked if we could hang out sometime to try and catch up. I said sure, maybe me my boyfriend him and a friend of his could meet up one day. Then he said something about wanting to be alone sometime but as I'm re-reading it, I think I misread it the first time. But I don't know. My point is, I don't really want to hang out with him or talk to him on the phone. You know how every group of friends has that one person who nobody really wants to be around but stays friends with them anyway beause they don't want to be mean? He's that person. He kept calling me after I didn't answer, and he keeps asking to hang out. It's just really weird now. I just wanted to say Hi and see if he remembered me, and talk on myspace or something, I didn't really want to physically see him again. I don't know what I should do about it. My boyfriend's mom thought of a good way to keep it limited to myspace, by telling him my cell phone is very limited on minutes and texting, which I might do next time he tries calling me. 

I just checked my voicemail and he left a message saying he really wants to hang out with us(me and my boyfriend) and stuff and I feel really bad. But he's really like, annoying and I don't know what to do!

IMVU FAQ
People seem to have the tendency to ask me really dumb and/or obvious questions, so I've decided to make a FAQ here on my livejournal. Please read this carefully, and if your question still isn't answered feel free to leave a comment and I'll be happy to help you.

Q. Can you make textures for me?
A. Um.. No? Why would I work hard to make textures and then just give them away?

Q. What if I pay you for them?
A. Still the answer is no. I do not want anyone selling my work whether they bought it off of me or not. Just not happening. 

Q. Can you teach me how to make awesome textures?
A. No, sorry. I don't have the patience to teach someone how to make things individually. I do, however have some tutorials available on my website if you'd like to give them a shot. I do take requests for tutorials but don't complain that they're not up right away. Each tutorial I make takes a good two to three hours and I don't always have the time to make them right away. It'll take time but requests for tutorials will be filled. And no, you do not have to pay for them.

Q. Can you show me how to do the "better butt" thing you do with your skins?
A. Absolutely not. That is my trademark and I will not show you how to copy it. Make your own custom enhancements(DO NOT attempt to duplicate any other developers trademark enhancements) and build your own name for them. Make something you can't get from any other developer so people will have to go to YOU for it. Your products need to stand out, not blend in.

Q. Do you do requests? If so, how much do they cost?
A. Yes, I do requests. The cost all depends on what kind of product it is, how much work is involved and whether or not I think it will sell. The cost for a custom skintone by me is 5,000 credits or 6,000 if you want it hidden in the catalog. For other items, depending on the work involved will cost between 1200 and 6,000 credits(or more if it's especially difficult). If I think the product will sell very well, sometimes I will fill those requests for free. I gift your requested item to you once it's completed and submitted(and I've received your payment). If I filled your request for free, sorry but you'll have to buy it yourself. 

Q. What skin is that on your avatar in your catalog pictures?
A.
It is a custom skin made by me. It is not for sale, sorry.

Q. What head does your avatar use?
A. I use the Carlotta head by V4NY.

Q. Can you make me a new mesh?
A. No, sorry. I am not a mesher, just a retexturer.

Q. How many credits do you have?
A. That is none of your business. This would only encourage hacking.

Q. I saw you bought someone gifts on their homepage. Can you buy me some too?
A. No. I gift some people who I think deserve it. Asking for one certainly doesn't make you deserve one. Also, buying me a gift doesn't guarantee that I will buy you one. If you buy me one, thank you very much but I don't take bribes to buy you gifts. If you're going to gift me and beg for a gift in return, why not just not gift me and use thoes credits to buy yourself something? Wouldn't that just make SO much more sense?

Q. Your eyebrows don't work with my avatar head! I have four eyebrows!
A. Please read all catalog descriptions carefully. To use custom shaped eyebrows, you need to purchase the No Eyebrows product by Jinx. This will get rid of your current eyebrows(the ones that are attached to the avatar) and will let you use the custom shaped ones correctly. You do NOT need to purchase the No Eyebrows product to use my "Nearly Perfect Eyebrows," but the rest of them, you do.

Q. Where are the eyebrows I just bought from you? I don't see them in the eyebrows category?
A. All of my eyebrows(except my "Nearly Perfect Eyebrows") are in the accessories category. Why? Because they're accessories, not eyebrows. They're derived from face paint. If you don't see them in the accessories category, hit the 'refresh' button at the top of your client and give it a few seconds to show up. If it still doesn't show up, try hitting refresh again, closing out the client and logging back in. If it doesn't appear within 48 hours, contact an IMVU staff member.

Q. I bought one of your products but I decided I didn't like it once I tried it on. Can I have a refund?
A. Absolutely not. EVERYONE has the Try-It pass now so there is no way you can claim that it wasn't what you expected. Not only do I provide numerous screen shots of the product in my catalog description, the Try-It pass is also available for everyone to try it out in 3D. It is not my problem if you decided you didn't like the product once you purchased it. 

Q. I accidently purchased one of your products from the catalog more than once. Can i have a refund for the extra accidental purchases?
A. Once again, no. It is not my fault you were too impatient for the page to load. Learn to be a bit more patient and that wouldn't happen. 

Q. Do you give refunds at all?
A. Nope. There's no reason for me to give refunds.

Q. Not ever?
A. Nope, not ever.

Q. Can you make tutorials for makeup like skins by developers like as Lipgloss?
A. No, why would I make a tutorial for enhancements that aren't even my style? My tutorials are for techniques I like to use. (Of course I don't show you my exact way of making skins, I need my secretive ways) If you want to learn how to make glossy lips like Lipgloss, why don't you ask HER to make one?


Any other questions or comments, please don't hesitate to leave a comment.

If you EVER see a developer stealing my products or copying any of my trademarks or styles, please notify me ASAP. I've yet to have a thief and I'd like to keep it that way, but if you do happen to see any please let me know ASAP. Thank you.

Indian Coin [Nov. 30th, 2007 || 08:25 am]

My boyfriend has this coin that we've been trying to find information on. I don't have a picture but I can try to describe it as best as I can. It's a bronze coin(goldish in color) with some kind of crest on one side with a moon, a sun and a trident in a circle. It also has this symbol(though the one on the coin is more calligraphic):
рез 
On the other side of the coin, there's what looks like a native sitting in a chair(sideways/profile view) with one of those helmets with the mohawks on them on his head, holding a trident.
After searching for a while to figure out just what language it was in(I was thinking Arabic at first), we found out it was Indian(India, not Native Americans). We found the symbol on a chart and found out that it was the Devanagari(Hindi) Symbol for the number One. I Google'd Devanagari and Hindi and found that it was Northern India. James(my boyfriend) also found out that it was more of classic Hindi rather than modern. That's about all we found. When I was trying to find a picture all I kept finding were ancient hand-carved coins. This one isn't hand-carved, it looks factory made like our US coins. it's totally round, probably about the size of our nickel and slightly thicker. As I said before, it's gold in color and probably made of bronze(more gold than copper but not as gold as gold). It's not in horrible condition so it can't be TOO old.. It's also not very new-looking so it's not very recent either. He's had it for years. As soon as I can get a picture I'll post one so maybe one of you will see it and know what it is or help look it up. Until then, maybe post links to any pictures of what you think could be it and I'll check them out. Thanks.

Today, on the way to school, it was pouring. There was a huge thunder storm, tornados..etc.. (and yes, I still had to go to school. >:O.. ) I was going through a little development to get to the main road I have to turn off of to get to my school. The rain and all had definitely let up but it was still raining a decent amount. When it's raining and you're driving, you're supposed to go a bit slower, and keep a longer distance between you and the car in frton of you because of the roads being slippery from the rain. Well, apprently this guy didn't care. He was on my ass throughout the whole development. Maybe 5-6 feet away from me. In the pouring rain. What a dumbass.. There needs to be some kind of universal signal for "get off my ass," other than the finger or yelling it our your window. Like, tapping on the brakes twice so the brake-lights flash twice or something like that. I tried that, and he backed off a little bit but only by maybe 4 feet. He was still extremely close and still made me nervous. I hate stupid people.

Also, I just went to tinypic.com to upload something, and apparently the USA is banned from uploading things because we violated their TOS. I didn't know it was even possible to ban an entire country. Wouldn't it have made more sense to just have banned the IP addresses of the people who were violating the terms of service? I mean.. I think banned the entire country, which consists of millions of people, half of which have never even heard of tinypic, or who do NOT violate the TOS when uploading things, is a bit.. dramatic. When I tried to upload something, it had the usual "uploading, please wait" thing, and then instead of giving me the image URL and all that, it just said "This country banned for violating our Terms of Service."  O_O

So now I think I'm banned from my school's parking lot and it's for the dumbest reason ever. I got my parking pass from my high school and they said if I pay for theirs I just have to show them proof that I payed for my parking pass at my high school and they'll give me theirs for free, so I'm like ok, cool. So I go up to the office at the tech school and tell them I'm there for a parking pass. They ask if I've filled out the paper work and of course I haven't.. so my high school already lied. So i get the paper work on friday and fill it out over the weekend and brought it back today to get the pass. Now the lady asks about a letter from my parents requesting that I have permission to park. As if the signature and the fact that they even call to confirm it isn't enough.. Now they need some stupid written letter. Anyway, I told my mom about it so I figured I'd bring the stupid letter tomorrow and turn in the paperwork then.. She calls the school to ask about it and to let them know not to tag my car with that giant damn sticker they put on your passenger window for not having the tag, and they're talking about the stupid letter and my mom keeps trying to explain to the lady that we didn't know about the letter and that she's saying right now that I have permission so isn't that enough and the lady hung up on her!! She called back again and talked to someone else and she tried to negotiate with them to at least give me a pass to go let me park down the street at my high school and walk back over here and she said that was 'too much trouble.' Well if it's too much trouble then don't bitch that I'm in your parking lot, you dumb broad! Anyway, so they're arguing and then the administrator or principal or whoever it was, comes down to my classroom to talk to me about it saying that I'm not allowed to park there anymore because I broke the rules because I'm not supposed to be driving on campus without the tag. I told her that's the only way I have to get here so what am I supposed to do? I told her if they put that sticker on my car I'm going to be pissed off because technically that's vandalism. And she interrupted my sentence and jumped in saying no it's not because I broke the rules. I'm like, wtf? Okay so because I broke some dumb rule means you can key my car? does it mean you can slash my tires? does it mean you can break off my antenna? Just because I happened to break some bogus rule does NOT give anyone the right to vandalize my car. I do give her credit though for at least asking me what kind of car I had so she could find it and ask them not to tag it if it hasn't been tagged already. If they put that damn sticker on my car already, I'm going to make THEM come back and scrape it off, assholes.  >:O

She said it'd take longer for me to get the pass now because of the 'rule breaking' but I'm like, pfft fuck that, I'd rather park somewhere else and walk. I don't want to even give them the chance now to "reject" me, I'm just not even going to turn in the stupid paperwork and just park down the street. My god, and I thought RIDGEWOOD was bad.. Marchman is worse!!!!

Oh yeah, the lady who talked to me also said I could get a referral now.. I was just thinking in my head as she said that, "oh boo hoo.. like that's going to shatter my 'perfect record'... " lol

I still can't believe how unprofessional they're being. I'm definitely going to have to go to the district schoolboard over this. How ridiculous.. It's not even like the parking lot is crowded and the spaces have to be reserved for people with a pass, they're at least 60% empty anyway, so I don't understand why they're making such a huge deal over it.

Well, there goes my band..

We were supposed to have a gig tonight at a place called Bourbon Street. We were the headlining band like we've been the last few times we've played there. Well, first I'll fill you in a little bit on our drummer, Billy. Basically, he's twenty years old and still has a bed time. His mom controls him completely whether he wants to admit it or not. His mom, tries to control the band, and thinks because she brings the tip jar, that she's important. (/rolls eyes) That's about as much detail that I'm going to go into about that for now. But anyway, we were checking out the other two bands that were going to be playing with us, and noticed that on one of their myspace's they said they were going on at the time we were supposed to go on. We got kind of confused and wondered if anything had been changed to where we're not  headlining. Well, we do some fishing around and come to find out that Billy sent an email on myspace to J-rock(J-Rock and Patty The Radio Girl are the ones hosting the shows on wednesday nights) saying we wanted to be switched to the second spot instead of headlining(last) because of early work schedules. We found it in the sent box on the mail page. We also found that it was sent on September 11th. I do remember a couple of weeks ago, at practice one day, Billy mentioning that he thought we should play earlier but me James and Mike all strongly objected and said that we wanted to headline. So we change the myspace password and the myspace email's password so Billy can't get ahold of the new one to make sure he doesn't do this shit again. Anyway, we try calling Billy like a hundred times and he wouldn't answer. Finally he shut his phone off and it went straight to the voicemail. I guess that means he knew what it was about. I mean, seriously though.. Why the hell didn't he tell us? DId he think we somehow weren't going to find out? I mean, obviously we're going to start asking questions when we realize we aren't headlining anymore. So not only did he not get our agreement to change it and changed it behind our backs, he didn't even bother to tell us afterwards! But anywya, we try calling his house instead of his cell and his psychotic beast of a mother answers the phone and is her normal nosey self asking "what is it about?" "is it about a gig?" IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS JUST FUCKING PUT BILLY ON THE PHONE. He wasn't home anyway though because he had practice with his other band, which in a way initiated this whole feud. But I'm not going to go into that right now. Anyway, she says if it's important we can talk to his dad, so Mike talks to big Bill(Billy's dad) and asked about the email and all that and he said HE wrote it, not Billy. Well what the fuck!? You're not in the band, why the hell do you have our bands myspace login information!? Jesus Christ, I guess your parents control you much more than we thought.. Mike and Bill get into an argument and all that, which ends up in Mike cursing out Bill for one reason or another, Cathy(his crazy mother) hangs up on Mike three times(I don't know about you but I think hanging up on someone loses the effect after you call them back.. lol but whatever), and him telling her to fuck off. I wasn't lsitening to that conversation but that's what Mike said. James sent J-Rock a really apologetic email stating that we had to cancel. This is what it said, copy/pasted from the sentbox, nothing changed:

"Hey, I hate to have to send this mail but we have to cancel our show today (09/26/07). One of our members sent you a email requesting a earlier time slot, instead of headlining, without telling or asking the rest of the band, which we just now found out about. We dont care what spot we play, thats not the reason why we are canceling, we have to get our problems solved before we can play another show, becuase similar things have happend before. Sorry for this late notice and I hope you can understand.

-Muddy Creek "

To which J-Rock replied:

"I cannot replace the you at this point, you are CANCELLING at last minute like this after requesting different time slots. If you do not show tonight you'll never play Bourbon Street again"

So even though we were very sincere and apologetic for it, he was pissed.

Mike also messaged him to see if he can get anything out about what happened:

"hey j-rock, I was just wondering when we're going on tomorrow? I noticed another band is going on at 11? I thought we were headlining, but I'm just making sure?

rock on,
mike "


And he replied:

"You guys were scheduled for second like you requested. Originally it was headlining, and you made me change everything around to accomodate you. The other bands were not happy but they complied.. Now you CANCEL at the last minute and expect me to find a band to replace you???? Like I said in the last letter, if you don't show tonight, you won't play Bourbon Street again, and I don't think you can blame me"


After that, one of them Mike or James I don't know who sent it, but one of them said "We cannot play tonight becuase we do not have a drummer. Sorry. "

And then J-rock said "It's cool, I'll just get the other bands to play longer"

Which doesn't make any sense to me. First he was all pissed off and now it's totally cool? I'm thinking it was Patty who wrote that one and not J-Rock, because they share a myspace. I replied saying thank you and that we were sorry about what happened and to tell the other two bands the same. I personally sent a message to the other two bands(from my own myspace, not the band's) apologizing, explaining what happened and wishing them good luck at the show. So, now we're not playing tonight, we don't have a drummer, and I don't know if we'll ever get to play at Bourbon Street again because of this, even under a different name. I mean, I guess I kind of can't blame J-Rock for being pissed but on the other hand, It's not like he's paying us. We'd get maybe $20 each from the percentage of the cover charge we get. But I don't know, whatever..

But now we have to cancel not only tonight, but October 12th at Alex's Place, and NEW YEARS EVE also at Alex's Place. Now, that's pretty much just handing it over to C-4(Billy's other band) since he's been booking them left and right and we haven't had a gig other than this in a month. When Billy first joined C-4, the agreement was that it would be one gig a month and that it wouldn't interfere with Muddy Creek. Well it's been more than one gig a month, they booked themselves for Halloween without telling us, so we couldn't play Halloween night, but then they also scheduled for the weekend before! So we couldn't play ANYTHING for halloween because of C-4. The last 5 or 6 gigs we've tried to schedule we couldn't because C-4 was playing somewhere and we needed Billy. That New Years Eve gig was going to be pretty good pay, too. But now we have to cancel it. I'm  sick of Billy doing things like this because similar things have happened before. But this one is just drawing the line. I'm sick of it, Mike's sick of it and James is sick of it. Billy can kiss my ass, now. He needs to grow a pair of balls and stop being such a bitch.

Impatient and/or stupid people [Sep. 14th, 2007 || 07:58 am]

[Currently feeling | annoyed]
[Currently listening to |Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son]

I am so sick of people being so unbelievably impatient, it's not even funny. I was driving to school today, and there was a stop sign at the end of my street, at the intersection of my street and the main road. There weren't any cars coming that I could see, but it was a stop sign so I had to stop anyway. Literally AS SOON AS I stop, the old lady behind me honks her horn at me. MAYBE YOU CAN'T SEE BECAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY 90 YEARS OLD BUT THERE'S A STOP SIGN; I HAVE TO STOP.  Anyway, after her honking the horn, I'm kind of easing up a little bit to make sure there are no cars coming. There weren't, so I went right. I'm about to the next block when I see this old lady pass me in a no-passing zone(it's a 3-lane road, the middle lane being turning lanes). Personally, I think once you hit a certain age(say around 50?), you should be required to retake your drivers test once every few years(like once every 5 years or something). But anyway, after I'm on the main road for a few blocks, I make a left to take a shortcut and some lady in a minivan was driving on the wrong side of the road. I was slowing down waiting for her to get back on the side she's supposed to be on(there wasn't any cars parked on the sidewalk for her to have to go around, so I don't know why she was on the wrong side to begin with), and she keeps going and all of a sudden, swerves onto the other side. My thoughts were automatically that she was talking on her cell phone or something and got distracted and didn't realize there was another car coming--though regardless, she needs to drive on the right side! They really need to enforce the law about not being on your cell phone while driving, unless it's hands-free(though even that distracts you because you're still concentrating on the conversation..). A really hefty fine would probably do it. 

I also remember once last year at school, I was getting a pepsi from the vending machine, and some girl was waiting behind me. I put my dollar in, pick my drink, and it says VEND on the little screen. Now, not before I got my drink from the machine, but BEFORE THE MACHINE EVEN GAVE IT TO ME, this girl starts putting her dollar in the machine. Look, it still says VEND, so calm the fuck down and wait two seconds! >:O People are so unbelivably impatient these days, it's not even funny. Especially on the road. Usually when someone's an asshole to me because they're in a hurry, what I try to do(if they haven't passed me yet) is look for a cop, and drive really slow when the one being an asshole is behind me. They get annoyed, pass me(usually in a no-passing zone), the cop sees, they get pulled over and get a ticket, causing them to be even later for being an asshole, on top of having to pay a fine for it. =D This makes me happy, although there isn't always a cop when you need one.

Throughout my entries, you'll notice I get annoyed very easily. For example, people standing in the hallways at my school. This is annoying as hell to me because they stand in the dumbest places. No, they don't stand in a spot where there aren't a lot of people walking through them all the time like anyone with common sense would do, they instead decide to stand in the middle of the busiest hallway in the school like idiots. I mean, you'd think that if you were standing somewhere where people were constantly running into you and splitting up your conversations, you'd move. Or, rather, that you wouldn't stand in a very busy spot to begin with. It's like, parking your car in the middle of the busiest intersection in your area, and just leaving it there for a few hours. I'm sure you wouldn't do that, so why would someone do the same thing with the hallways? Plus, more than half the time, it's stupid wannabe-gangster jackasses having "rap battles" in the hallways. Okay, now this is where I get totally lost. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HAVING RAP BATTLES AT SCHOOL? Not only is it kind of dumb anyway(to me, at least), but to do it in the hallway, making yourself look like a blithering idiot, and the "battle" lasting for only the five minutes we have between classes, seems completely pointless to me. 

Okay, I'm going to stop my rant for now, because I have to go to my high school in a few minutes but I'll post again later.

Just set up [Sep. 13th, 2007 || 05:41 pm]

[I am |Where I always am]
[Currently feeling | content]
[Currently listening to |Metallica - Wherever I may roam]

Alright, well I just set this thing up. I've had a few other accounts within the last 5 or so years, but I stopped using them at least a year ago, and I figured it'd be better if I had a fresh start, so I made a new account. It's public, so anyone can read or comment(as far as I know--they've made some changes since I was last here), so that's fine. Anyone's welcome to comment and all that. I don't know how many of my friends are going to get the URL to this, mainly because it's more of a personal thing and I don't other people I know to get involved with or interfere my problems; But if you're my friend and you happen to find me, that's fine. Just don't tell anyone what I say about them in my posts, thank you. =p

But anyway.. I guess I'll start out by changing my layout and customization and all that. I also see they've added a new about me/interests type thing on the home page, so I guess I'll check that out next. I wonder if there's a way to align the "current music/mood..etc.." and "userinfo/archive" text to the left or center instead of the right because it looks kind of odd since there's no space between the last letter and the [ or ] next to it. Eh, oh well. Not important. 

I suppose I'll make this first entry just about me and why I made this. My name is Alishya, I am seventeen years old and I live in Florida. I made this journal because I've had a lot of thoughts on my mind lately. No, I am not suicidal, homocidal, schizophrenic..etc.. I do not have a mental illness and I am not going to pour my heart out on a webpage. I made this journal because I complain/rant a lot about a lot of different things so I figured I could put them all here. Anyone who agrees or disagrees with me is welcome to comment, however I'd appreciate if you didn't start "bitching" at me. Stay calm, debate; don't argue. 

This may seem cheesy, but here are some rules I'd like people to read before posting any comments on my journal entries:
1. Don't "flame" me. What I post here is my opinion, and I'm never going to say my opinion is "right" or that yours is "wrong." Basically, don't be a bigot.
2. Please have common sense. I think this one is self-explanatory.
3. If something offends you, you're welcome to comment, however please stay calm. This also refers to rule #1.
4. While some of my rants may be serious, others are for comedic purposes(you should be able to tell the difference..). Please refer to rule number two to determine which is which.

That's about it. It's a journal, not a whole website, so I'm not going to go crazy on rules. Basically be calm when replying to anything that may or may not offend you, and have common sense. That's all I ask. =]
