Points on both sides here, as it's way too subjective at present.

Despite the best efforts of the bonehunters and Cotillion & co, I suspect it's still infected.

I don't know if it is against the code of conduct or not, it is just very hard to take those complaints about your ex seriously when you talk like that BK. Though as many of us do, I imagine you are just on here to vent... just don't expect sympathy from at least the female population of the forum talking like that.... and I hope you don't talk like that to your children!

My groove feels like it is getting another cold

And I am not overly happy at the moment... I have gained weight, don't like my environment at work, have a lazy housemate who is starting to get on my nerves and just generally lack motivation. This weekend I hope to find it again... but I hate feeling so apathetic and down... STUPID GIRLY BRAIN (I blame the girly brain for all of this).

Been there, AIJ, was listening to one of my musical CDs that I once did and I realised how much I miss doing live theatre. Been far too long. And even when I last had the chance it was all tech work cos no-one else knew how to tech a show!

But seriously, I want to do it again, just don't have the time what with shifts at work etc...

Food poisoning. Threw up at 3am, tried to sleep for an hour, threw up again at 4am, still feeling shakey and my tummy hurts. And it's cold

A true friend would offer to suck the poison out.

I'm just happy the Bonehunters lived up to their name on this occasion.

No, it definately belongs here.

He's obnoxious and smarmy and I just want to push my boot through his face.

What's worse is I suspect that he is going to be a constent companion given what I have heard about spin-offs and the such. I was really hoping he might die tragically at the end of the first season. Oh well, we can't get everything we wish for.

got a call from the people who ran my internet while I was in Uni.
They want their money.
now, this isn't surprising, since I haven't received a sing,e bill form them Since September, when I got the damn thing. Keep in mind, everyone in my rez had to get internet from the same provider, and THEY all got regular bills in the mail.

I mention this fact to the lady on the other end of the phone (i'm in the middle of the city, on a long-distance call on my cell phone at the time).
She tells me, I have been getting ELECTRONIC BILLS.

they were being sent to the myhtical e-mail adress I got when I activated my account. and, naturally, never used again because why the hell would I need another email account.

naturally, I have 0 recollection of this account, or its password (given that I've seen it once in my life, in late September last year).

Now, i'm not averse to paying htese people. they have provided me with unlimited bandwidth and high speed for 8 months. (they think it's 6 for some reason, go figure). In fact, when I first signed up with them, I had my credit card ready to set up automated withdrawals and everything. but, NOOOOOOOOO, the guy said "we'll send you a bill and you can set it up yourself through your bank or something".
And then the woman wanted my credit card number, OVER THE PHONE. I'd have no issue with this, except, i'm in the middle of the city, walking home. I ask her "can you call me back in 40 minutes, once I get home?" NO. can you call me tomorrow? NO.
Oh, and they expect their money by Friday, and I have to call them.
never mind the fact ti's gonna cost me long distance, never mind the fact i'll have to spend 30 minutes being bounced around departments.
And I don't even know what my account number is, because all that paperwork, as well as the modem is packed away back at uni, and I won't be seeing it for another 4 months.

goddamn idiots.

Meh, either work out a payment plan, or just pay them when you can. Because basically what can they do - repossess all your downloaded pr0n? Stop you from using another provider? Unlikely, as they'd have to go through all that credit related and debt chasing nonsense to do that. Give your name a bad credit rep? Same again, they have to jump through hoops to do that, giving you time to get your shit together.

Well, in any civilised country, that is ...

Take his ass to court, sue him for interest, and sue him for court costs. So, basically treble what he owes them already.

Pay it off ASAP, Ment.

Edit: Drama in the thread as well. Meh, I swear like a sailor on here and haven't been called out for it anywhere, even in the Discussion Forum. Self-moderation is the key, and if you don't like someone's statement let them know, as done here, and let them either self-moderate or not, accordingly. I believe Illy called me out for a fairly substantial blast on Felisin in the HoC Forum which made me sit back and rethink the entire situation again, and I'm glad it went down that way.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

But...he's *meant* to be like that! And he's from the 51st millennium. XD

And no, he's not a constant companion. Without spoiling, he isn't involved in most of Ten's run.
