I've said it before, I'll say it again...

I really hate myself.

That is all.

What happened?

I was born... </melodrama>

My therapist asked me to write a letter, it dredged up a lot of feelings that were best left buried.

If the feelings were dredged up, it means that you were suppressing them instead of dealing with them. Over time, stuff like that festers and rots you away from the inside. Hopefully, this will start to help you heal.

So I've started doing Let's Plays and I just got my first one done, with editing and everything finished. Now that's all well and good, but the file size is huge and I honestly have little to know knowledge of video editing, except that .avi files get fucking big.

So apparently I've got to figure out how to compress the file with little damage to the quality and I have no idea what I'm doing D:

There's these new things called MP4s or something.  It's like MP3 but for video AND it's 1 better.

After thoroughly enjoying Batman, so far I'm quite disappointed with Justice League. It's like they pulled out all the B and C plots from the various comics. Last episode I saw was them saving Gorilla City (filled with talking gorillas, natch) from a gorilla supervillain with mind control.

I'm hoping it gets better. I've seen some decent clips from the show; I guess I just have to get past all the crappy stories with aliens and Aquaman and shit. Well Aquaman was kinda cool, cutting off his own arm and all, but the plot in that one was still boring. Also the entire show definitely needs more Batman.

It feels like awfulness incarnate, such things, but once such feelings are out and gone, it's like a weight has been lifted off you.

One of these things happened to me. I used to be a very unhappy, repressed person; nowadays I'm happy and confident. I went to a therapist for a while.

11pm, was about to go to bed, and the council workers decided right now was an absolutely awesome time to start jackhammering the street right outside my bedroom window. ;_;

I feel sick. And hungry. And it's tiring and headache-inducing to haul myself downstairs to cook some instant noodles.

Might as well sleep through the night to prevent myself from feeling that crunching feeling you get from starving.

Someone (who has nearly been sued for harassing a teacher in a previous incident) has posted a public post on their Facebook wall that told my friend to go kill herself. Multiple people have liked it, and were very rude to her today. I am furious, she says not to talk to the person who did it at all, but I'm not sure that I can do that.

You could simply bring it up to the principal and have them expelled for cyberbullying. They take things like that very seriously nowadays because it's a big issue. I wouldn't confront the person head on because that just incites more of the same, but if they truly are a terrible person (I knew a few racist/anti-semite white supremacist types) that deserves to have their life ruined you certainly have the power to do so right now.

Boss says I'm too stressed after me and him had a dissagreement over how to handle something time sensitive.

Spoiler:  story (click to show/hide)

Boss and me were both remoted into the same person's computer, that happens sometimes, and since we are both working on multiple things we usually don't notice. 

The person, apperantly not knowing we were still working on it started doing things.  Me and my boss both reacted at the same time. I released keyboard control from the remote and tried to type a message to the client telling him we are still working on the system.  My boss tried the more direct method of fighting the client for mouse control.  I guess he figured that if the client saw the mouse jump all over the place they would get the hint. At this point he says that he told me he has it under control, I guess he knew I was also remoted in.  I must not have heard him.

He lost the battle for mouse control when I released keyboard control, because it drops mouse control too.  I started typing the message to the client through my console and my boss re-enabled full control from his end.  The message ends up half-typed into the clients excel spreadsheet.  I figure I must have misclicked the control release, quickly ctrl-z my mistake, and release controls again.  At this point the client does indeed get the hint.  And my boss starts walking over to my station after discovering I released control again.

Boss is greatly annoyed, tells me to take some time off because I'm too stressed, and tells me that I need to work on paying attention.  I attempt to explain myself, but only get reprimanded for talking back.

So now I have a free week off I guess.  Busy as all hell at the shop, so I'm pretty sure this is the worst time to give half the tech staff a week off.  But I guess it's his decision.  Would have been happier if we would have just laughed it off like we usually do when something like that happens, instead of things becoming all insubordination-y.

@quinnr: One reason I don't do facebook.   Isn't there supposed to be all this serious stuff about cyberbullying in schools now?  I got out lucky for social media stuff not existing back when I was in school, but can't somebody in charge be told about that?

Though I suppose that may also not help so much.  Even if someone else reports it, she'll still suffer the backlash.  Might be the same with a confrontation.  I guess it depends on what kind of school it is.

He didn't put her name on it though, it's one of those things where he said something along the lines of "People shouldn't do things if they don't know the whole story and if they do they should go kill themselves." He probably learned from the last time when I sent in an edited picture of a teacher to the vice-principal. I will likely try anyways, he's blocked me on Facebook but his page is public so I just have to log into my brother's account to see it.

Just don't lose sight of the fact that when ya get out of high school the only thing that matters is your grades. I've only been in university for just shy of two years and I really don't care much about anything that happened back then. Sure there were assholes, but I'm just glad that they're working at a fast food joint being forced to respect all the people they hate. And while it's nice to think the world has a sense of justice, the best thing to do is move on.

If I'm not making any sense it's because my heart's beating out of my chest because I'm leaving for a final right now. Good luck with your problem, but I've gotta focus on mine right now =p

[GlyphGryph]

That's not the only things that matter that you get out of high school. Extracurriculars can be a big deal, learned skills, and even good friends.

But enemies? No, people who treat you like shit tend to either disappear or mellow out as they get older.

(Not that drama ever stops, but at least it tones down... and honestly, this sounds a lot more like typical passive-aggressive drama than cyberbullying, but I don't know the whole story)

Me: I Just can't remember what this one character is. Brain, gimme the answer!

Brain: Sorry bro, I'm full of fuck.
