Was looking at some of my PMs, when I almost accidentally deleted them, because my iPad screen started bugging out, with it constantly pressing down on some delete function I couldn't see while I kept exiting out of that page.
yaaaaay
Why does my screen keep doing that? Seriously, it bugs out so often it's not even funny.

I would, except not really, except my school uses these iPads for books.
I literally have no choice but to keep this.

Following on spacecat.

Almost want to join a monastery just to see if It'll magically make me gain direction in life.
But then I feel like they might want me to believe in things.

And I feel like I'm always surrounded by people who don't repress a damn thing.  Who are always willing to tear everything down and make life completely dysfunctional for everyone with reckless abandon if they don't like something.  And I've always felt like it's fallen on me to be the reasonable go-between who keeps things operating between all these crazy fucking people, or swallows my own baggage down because the other party is not capable of doing and the results will be catastrophic if someone doesn't volunteer to be the mature one.

Guh. It's like my childhood in half a paragraph! Also, my friends in college! Maybe it's not the drama I hate, but the necessity of clamming up about my own problems whenever it rears its mangy head. Bay12 has really been a lifesaver in terms of being able to express what I'm thinking and that sort of thing, but it sounds to me like you guys have it worse because forum posts don't really do it for you. Which is kind of understandable; I just don't have many people to talk to anymore, whereas it sounds to me as though you have less of a problem with absence and more of a problem with a very present and malevolently oppressive social reality. Or something of that nature.

... gosh this is an uncheery post. *fart noises for instant humor*

Also, perhaps having learned from my example, final exams are coming too quickly. The exams themselves are less threatening than the looming horde of semester-long projects, at least one of which is in "How am I even going to do this" mode, and the others merely in "How am I even going to find time to do this".

So my parents have been talking about changing their cell plan for a couple months now, and they told me they would be keeping me on the plan. The other day I got an email from my dad saying, "Hey we're changing over the plan and we won't be carrying over your line anymore. Your phone will still be active for a week and then it won't work anymore. Here are some alternative options that all cost money that I know damn well you don't have. Have fun."

Thing is, I kind of need a phone with unlimited minutes to get a job, and I need a phone with unlimited texts to keep in touch with certain friends. I can get a free phone, but it'll have limited minutes and limited texts. Thanks, Dad, for making a tough situation even tougher.

Dick move on his part....

Ask him if you could pay him the difference of what it would cost to keep you on the plan? Assuming he's keeping the unlimited minutes and text?

That's probably what it secretly boils down to anyhow, money. (sigh).

I'm sure they're just passive-aggressively trying to kick you from the nest.
Nothing to worry about.

In other, far less important news.
Eldar codex came out. The genre has died. Bring back the CEO. I'm on the verge of throwing out my whole collection.

Allee doesn't live with her parents any more, last I knew. It seems to be more a case of "We have money, but we don't want to spend it, so we're going to make you pay for this instead, even though we know you can't."

[GiglameshDespair]

Why not ask to be taken off the contract, then?

[Rolan7]

I think that's what they're doing.  Which is a shame, since it's cheaper to just pay a share of a family plan than to get a plan of your own...  Helps if the family is reasonable and cooperative.  Instead AlleeCat's are being dicks, no surprise there.

[Descan]

... What part of "She can't afford to pay for a phone" means "Hey, take her off the contract and force her to pay for the whole phone!" is a good idea?

I'm sad that AlleeCat's SimNecromancy is on hiatus.
