Babies spit their dummies (pacifiers?) when they scream/cry/wail. Hence, "spitting the dummy" is a colloquialism for chucking a tantrum.

Messing with my groove: various members of my family are having a hard time due to various circumstances, and I feel pretty helpless about it...

I've been arguing with a man (who I'm fairly certain is insane) in the Malazan Empire group on Facebook on and off for the last god knows how many hours. It's 5am in the morning now (almost), where did i go wrong?!

Firstly, they're obviously a moron because we all know you're bloody brilliant and secondly, send them my way so I can inform them just how pathetic and insignificant they are before throwing them off a cliff! Pay them no mind Gaes, you don't need a false friend like that and they don't deserve a real friend like you!

I *was* rather annoyed, but figured that if someone can't be rational then that's their problem not mine!
And thanks, I think you're pretty awesome yourself

Gaes, i have the perfect plan.

Return the very same email. But change your name to theirs.

Ah, if only I'd checked here first before sending a reply.
To be fair, I was polite(ish) with my response, kinda......

Not a clue how it happened but I have wrecked my right leg to the point where I can hardly walk, and even the slightest movement is agony... Probably something not right there...

The sheer amount of bullshit you have to lie about in order to gain even the smallest amount of employment.
Excruciating how the position may just be shelf-stacking or working the tills yet you still need to pretend you love every single nut and bolt that make up the company.

'I want to work with your company because I can do the job and require finance for food.' - Why isn't that enough damnit?!

It's a warped world when you have to lie to gain employment.

End of Rant.

Sounds like a compressed nerve. Might be in your back, actually.

Perhaps a massage from the spouse tonight would help - in conjunction with an ibuprofen and maybe a heating pad all up and down the leg and on your lower back as well.

I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

Going out on a limb there, are we?

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I'm tired. Really, just tired. Physically, mentally, emotionally. I could probably curl up and sleep for the next decade.

But I can't. I've got an exam in 7 days. THE exam. The last one.

I can't do it alone, but being at home certainly makes it feel that way. I really just don't function well when it's an hour+ each way, and any number of dollars to see my friends. Any number of dollars, I really just cannot afford. I see them infrequently, at best. And it's always got to be a grand production, since it's so much of a schlep - never 'hey let's grab lunch' or 'hey, go out for a drink?' or even 'play some Left 4 Dead?' it's unsatisfying. I haven't just hung out with anyone, except my brother, in probably 3 months.

I really just want to be done, be out, be anywhere but here. It's slowly draining the life out of me. My father's supportive, but he's married to my mother. And she's killing me in small increments. I really wonder at what point I stopped being a son, and started to be an employee out of which she expects performance, blind obedience, and attention to her every whim. Except it's worse, because her employees never have to deal with her when she's drinking.

Hell, the best thing I've read in 2 weeks was a fanfiction story that I enjoyed chiefly because it was a story about finding a happy home with a mother that cares.

If there were anywhere for me to go, I would.

Stormy has just depressed me, wish I had wisdom for you

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

This just made me irredeemably sad.
