Don't Hate The Hater, Hate The Hate! - Part 13

[redmarvel]

I hate that christmas is getting closer and I don't think I'll have enough money to buy anyone anything.

Are you completely, totally broke, or do you have a small amount of funds?

When I had a small amount of money and a large number of people to buy for, I would go to Staples. I bought desk calendars for all the adults and packages of pens, pencils, highlighters, and pencil cases. Then divied the former into the latter for all the younger kids.

Buying big packages of stuff and divying it up can be a great way of saving funds.

For example, buy a box of individually wrapped chocolates (Hallowe'en candy boxes are fine) and buy red / green / white fabric at a fabric store (cut off ends) and sew up "stockings" and fill them with chocolates.

btw I hate the new itunes update/layout

I'm getting used to it, but their attempt to clean up the interface just made everything harder to get to. And the iTunes store interface is pretty much just a cluttered as ever.

And you can't just drag files onto your device from outside the library anymore.

 

[SpideyVille]

I would refuse

The relationship between my mom and brother is similar to that of Raymond and his mother in Everybody Loves Raymond. She babies him but he doesn't really complain even though he stays away whenever he doesn't need something. And in the few times that she does refuse, he throws a hissy fit and gets all mad despite putting her in inconvenient situations.

i can't figure out how to show the album artwork next to the songs in my library, which is integral to my ocd

That's why I stop using itunes. Besides, I actually was one of the few who enjoyed the Zune. It just worked better for me.

They took that and cover flow out of 11.

Closest you'll get is looking at the library under one of the other tabs like Artists

 

[Shemtov]

I hate That the first 3 Google results for videos relating to my culture are pornos.

this is not good

i don't really think i have OCD per se, as I don't have really strong overwhelming compulsions but i am completely redoing my music collection (12k+ songs) and wanted art work for all of them

I don't find it funny when people joke about hving OCD. It's serious disorder, nd is not laughing mtter.
I know tht's not wht you meant, but IMO, it's s offensive as joking bout having Cancer or Down Syndrome.

i wasn't joking about it, didn't laugh about it either.. i've not been diagnosed, so i can't say for certain that i have it or not. have you been diagnosed with it?

i may not have full blown ocd, could have a mild case, or a functioning case if i have it at all. there are certain things i behave compulsory to, organizing my computer files, music files, tagging them sorting them etc is one of them.

we'll agree to disagree but i don't see OCD as an equal to cancer nor down syndrome

 

[Anubis]

I know right? WTF?

 

[Shemtov]

have you been diagnosed with it?

Yes.

 

[Mace Dolex]

I hate how expensive toys are getting, just saw a Knight Rider KITT car 1/15 scale with working lights, sounds for $49.99 at Toys'R'Us, I mean 50 dollars really?!

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I've had a crap love life. You'll see where this leads in a second.

So, i've been talking to this girl, and she seemed really cool. Like, one of the coolest people ever cool. I told her I liked her, and she exclaimed she knew. So, I asked her if she felt the same way. Then she blocked me on facebook. Turns out I picked another ***** to go after.

 

[PyroChamber]

Are you completely, totally broke, or do you have a small amount of funds?

Small funds, Christmas time doesn't mean the bills stop.

Also, I hate that I brought enough groceries last month to last at least 3 months; only to see that I've already gone through half of it.

The same thing happened to me once, except through AIM. I messaged a girl in one of my classes and we had a nice conversation where we bonded over the fact that we both had siblings in the Marines, and she thought it was really sweet that I babysat my nephew. But a few days later, I found out that she blocked me after a friend of mine showed me a pic of his screen that showed that she was online.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I just find it odd that you would do that. Like..at least say no or something. That's pretty freaking extreme to just block someone and cut off all ties for that. Ironic, as she even admitted she felt bad for all the people that were asses to me, and then did this. Lol

Yeah, like I've gotten used to rejections in my life, and I've learned to respect people who can be direct about it. But I really hate it when girls, or people in general, tend to pull your strings or act flaky. Like in recent years, every girl that I've bene interested in has turned out to be flaky once I started to show interest in them, and every time I would try to make plans, they would give me the runaround, and that's a quality that I've learned to have a low tolerance for.

I also hate how this girl asked me out a few month ago and I tried to tell her no in a nice way, but my friends thought that I was harsh for being direct.

 

[Marx]

I hate that I burnt myself on my stove trying to cook dinner.

Exactly. I understand not feeling the same way, but jesus. Don't be such a *****e about things, you know?

At the risk of being a nolanite, I do feel like he was spot on with what he was trying to say sometimes, even with Joker.

"They're only as good as the world allows them to be. You see, their morals..their code..dropped. at the first sign of trouble."

Do you cook? I've found that to be the best way to save on food. I haven't gone out in over a month, maybe two. I go to Aldi and load up on eggs, broccoli, sweet and regular potatoes, olive oil and onions. Chicken breast I get about once a week. If I stick to it (this is the hard part ) I can eat pretty well on 25 dollars or so a week without resorting to eating stuff like ramen.

I only cook on my days off, which is 2 a week, half of the stuff I buy is meats, vegetables, fruits, pasta, eggs and stuff like that which tends to last a bit longer. The other half is usually "fast foods" like anything that's microwavable or just snacks like cookies, chips, etc.

The problem is I never have time to cook before work, therefore when I get home late at night the fast stuff is right there for the taking. And I try not to go through it quickly, but as soon as I get home (even if I eat at work) I'm hungry right away.

 

[Anubis]

So buy fast stuff for the morning. Like sausage sammiches or instant grits.

I can honestly say that Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Gotta eat something. Anything. Fruit even. Give you that energy to get you through the beginning of the day.

....That or Meth.
