The $%*! frustration thread

[x_XTacTX_x]

I'm blowing off the rough draft due tomorrow for my paper

And I don't even care

Aww yeah


[spoiler]kill me[/spoiler]

[KebreI]

Okay three pages done and taken care of. The part the kills me is the turning raw facts and ideas in to sentances, paragraphs, and pages to write.

[placidchap]

I have a paper due this coming week...not very big though, only 2-3 pages...but its the first paper I've had to write in a few years.  I have to say that finding the raw facts is the hard part....turning them into a wad of BS is fairly easy for me.

edit: forgot the frustration....incompetent coworker.

[teaflower]

Yikes, three pages gone? Ouch. Now I feel okay about the page and a half I had to hand write. My hand writing sucks, by the way. I should totally scan in a piece of my writing.

Current frustration is me freaking out. I'm in the special ed class I take and to make sure I can still come here, I'm cycling between typing here and going to an empty tab, minimizing the window, and going to a game of solitaire.

And I keep losing.

Try FreeCell. Once you get the hang of it, the puzzle-solving feeling will become addictive.

[teaflower]

It all just hurts my brain... I'm trying to keep a low profile, but kids next to me are Googling 'can you get pregnant on your period' and getting hit with the school fire wall. I'm so glad this site isn't blocked... I'd go mad if it was.

New frustration! The fact that I finished my story. Why?

Because I now have nothing to do other than be here.

The Gamecube games we have suck ass, man. We have Hit and Run which I'm bored with, Luigi's Mansion which frustrates me, Super Mario Sunshine which frustrates me, Sonic Adventure 2 which freezes and I've beaten too many times to count, Melee which is no fun alone, Tiger Woods which isn't for me, and some wrestling game.

We need games.

Time to start an edit pass. On to draft 2!

[teaflower]

I'm waiting for the people who said they'd read it to do so. I.E., Nerdy. He has yet to get back to me.

Damn. It's really coming down out there! Fun.

If I have school tomorrow, that's my frustration.

If they are women and Googling that question please hit them for me.

[teaflower]

They were guys. I didn't have the heart to tell them that if a girl got pregnant during her period she wasn't human.

I despise morons.

[FouCapitan]

Hit them anyways for failing 3rd grade biology.

I'll have to remember that though, in case I ever decide to put together a top '10 stupidest questions ever asked list.'

[hiddensquire]

@Ramsus: In that case, you've increased my level of respect for you.  Again.

Current frustration: No Internet at home after a forced government move to a new location.  Typing this from an Internet cafe.

if you think that was bad, when I was in High School, I was talking to a group of girls about a females anatomy and used the term 'labia'

They had no idea what I was talking about.

[Zephira]

High school women are just plain silly.
I admit, it took me a while to be able to accurately point out where each piece of the anatomy was. I just didn't care that much, but at least I knew how everything worked and what the terms meant.

And for a new frustration: KebreI's signature. It gets me every time
Oh! And female anatomy and proportions. I can't get the arms to look right, argh!

Without knowing the first thing about your art, I might venture that you're drawing the shoulders too narrowly and the upper arms to skinnily, which I venture because it seems to be a common mistake (or sometimes even a stylistic device) in contemporary art. The quest to draw females thin as the imagination dares leads to some obvious breakdowns in plausibility--just look at Kid at the bottom of this page. I won't even talk about her midsection; her arms are wrong because the upper arms are about half as fleshed as they ought to be, and the elbows are exaggerated. There are certain angles at which the elbow can outsize a slim upper arm, but until you get to that skill level you're better off going with the more obvious choice of emphasizing the shapes that should be there, and not the shapes that can be there.

Since this is the frustration thread and all, I'll add how frustrating it is that pop culture seems not to acknowledge the existence of females between the ages of 16 and 40 who are not chronically ill from underweight, nor females whose shoulders are wider than a thimble.
