The $%*! frustration thread

[skylark]

The Last Story getting pushed back...

My lack of focus keeping me from doing more than I have with my Sea of Dreams story cause I just have to listen to game music for hours on end before playing just 30 minutes of old games before getting new ones, and bllggrrphhaaaaaaggg~ (rant)

Coming back here when interest of the series is at its lowest, causing another blow to my story-writing morale...

Having to type all this crap on an iPad when it's so much easier to take notes on a normal computer and I don't have to share the damn thing with the rest of the household...

Having both in-home computers blow out, resulting in the need for said iPad...

Sitting in a house when it's 95 FUCKING DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!!

.....okay, I think I'm done...

Oh! *ahem*

The Republican Party in general.

Okay, now I'm done...

[Thought]

Really good books.

They're so hard to put down when there are other, very important (or so I'm told) things to do.

[Katie Skyye]

Drop me a note when something cool happens around here again. I guess I just miss the good old days...

[Mr Bekkler]

Maybe somebody should start up a new RP or something...

[Acacia Sgt]

That would sure be nice. I kinda miss participating in one here, it was fun when the interest got revived but now it's dead again. Hmm, that reminds me, I once considered the idea of starting one of my own but then my time got very busy. I still have the stuff, but I guess it'll never take off.

[Kodokami]

Not a bad idea, actually. I wouldn't know where to begin, however, since I never participated in the RP here before.

[Acacia Sgt]

Not even sure myself if it counts as a frustration... but in a way I kinda am so...

So today was finally the day our new President takes charge.

...

We're doomed...

You're in.....Egypt?

No, I live in México. However, let's say he isn't (or wasn't? Maybe they are no longer THAT vocal about it) quite well liked by good portion of the populace. Unfortunately not enough to not win the elections back in July. I didn't vote for him either.

It's not even about being disliked. For example, during an interview, he was asked about 3 books he has read. He had nothing for an answer.

Amusing to see when others poke fun at that (heck, even the now ex-President laughed when he was asked that same question some time later before answering), but now this same guy will be our President for the next 6 years. Don't know of others, but I certainly don't look forward to it.

[Schala Zeal]

Six years? Ouch..... As it is, I'm fearful of going into Mexico. I hear the drug cartels target tourists to murder as examples to their affront.

Something "cool" just doesn't happen usually because of THAT attitude. XD

If things need to get cool, you gotta return and BE cool.

[utunnels]

Ah, memory cache error again.
When did that happen last time?

Maybe it's because I don't watch the news enough, or maybe I have watched enough but... that's the first time I'm hearing that.

Ah, memory cache error again.

I think it was a few months ago, don't remember exactly. What I'd like to know is what makes one able to log in or not during them, since I know some can.

[Nangbaby]

Not sure if this should go here, but I'm frustrated with myself.

I'm frustrated because despite my cynical attitude, deep down I have unrealistic expectations, goals, and dreams.  Yet both my skillset and my knowledge-set are so completely bankrupt, and my aptitude for learning is minimal.

[FaustWolf]

...deep down I have unrealistic expectations, goals, and dreams.  Yet both my skillset and my knowledge-set are so completely bankrupt, and my aptitude for learning is minimal.

I think the great dreamers all share feelings like this at some point in their lives. I'm glad you chose the word "aptitude" and not "will." I've always found that the former can come in time, as long as I had the latter. It's also helpful to find a community that's willing to nurture your interests even though you're just learning the ropes of whatever skillset you're trying to acquire -- that is invaluable.

Besides, if you made those CT-style Terra and Locke sprites, I'd say you're hardly at a loss for skills. I'm so envious!
