I had a laptop where the cursor would randomly "stick" to the top-left corner of the screen, resisting all attempts by me to be productive.

Also peterix got banned for (apparently) something egregiously stupid on his part. Like, entire new thread from Toady egregious.

The omegle thread was locked. Now, I grew sick of dicking around on omegle months before I even joined b12, and I've also long since grown sick of reading transcripts from it, but the willful ignorance of what omegle even fucking is just royally pisses me off. Having inane conversations with random people is the whole fucking point of omegle. No one, here or otherwise, uses it differently. Omegle threads, both here and otherwise, amount to "hey, post transcripts of funny conversations you've had on omegle".

I don't know, though I strongly suspect, that that was the intended purpose of omegle, but if it wasn't, whoever's behind it doesn't seem displeased with the culture that's emerged around it, seeing as how it's exactly the same today as it was when I first saw it... last year? whenever it was mentioned in xkcd. (actually, that's not true, apparently they've added to it (which really supports the theory that they're happy about what it's become...))

I don't disagree with you, but you really should be appealing this to the Adams brothers if you feel that strongly about it.

I woke up and realised it was Monday.

I didn't go to sleep yet and realized it's monday.

I just spent two hours reading TVTropes (damn you Strife, for mentioning something that made me link to it), and I need to wake up in five hours to take a shower and go to class.

Ah screw it, none of those things makes me sad.  I enjoyed the read, I'll get plenty enough sleep, and showering is easy peasy with my new shorter hair.

I love been-awake-too-long endorphins.

It sounds like he was unbanned.

I saw, I just felt no need to post it in the sad thread.

I lost my electric tuner, and all the strings are out of tune on my bass. Time to find a reference note and hope for the best. I guess if I tune one string I can tune all of them.

I woke up and realised it was Monday.

In addition.  Went to a party of sorts last saturday with old family friends.  First they ask me if I have a job.  I say yes.  Then they ask if I've written anything.  Of course I haven't.  So they nag me about that.  I suspect that even if I ruled the world with an iron fist while writing successful novels and married a wonderful wife and had wonderful children, they'd still find something to nag me about.

I'm just soooo bored! Gah. Nothing feels worth doing.

 So yeah. Received my grades for last semester a week before. Two C's, a B and a D in math. I'm going to need to retake that math class. My adviser was positive about it, very confident that I could eventually get into Maryland and do whatever the hell I wanted to do. She eve noticed a pattern that could help me next semester raise my grades. So in leaving a week ago I was confident.

 Fuck that if my dad has anything to with it. Just... fuck. And now I'm absolutely torn between blind rage at him propelling me towards getting the grades to get into Maryland just to spite the accusation that I messed up so much that I cannot hope to get in, and the crushing of my soul if that were to happen. I don't want hate. I don't want to be angry at anybody. I don't want to blame the fuckups through my life upon the guy that somehow made me the way I am now. But goddammit if he isn't trying his best to turn me into a psychopath.

 And the worst part is? Two levels of defense from ever dealing with this. First is the fact that he doesn't listen. Yeah sure we all get that as a teenager, but I KNOW that he puts no effort into listening. Even if I began to talk about what may be a problem or some confession I may have he just goes blindly into an unrelated problem he remembers I have. Or the most common problem of just not caring, me stopping halfway through a sentence and him responding as if I went through it all in whatever way he imagined. Him asking questions of me but answering them himself a second later. His hour-long speeches at the slightest little peep from me.
 The second problem is if he does hear anything I say. He'll take offense to it, seeing it somehow as disrespect towards him if it is implied that he did anything wrong. JU-

 Godfuckshithell.

 See, even now I'm going into a mode of blind rage at all this shit. I would rather suffer through this all than become that person. But now my strength is sapped by his almost constant possibly unintended abuse, and I am struggling to fight this person I do not want to be.

I envy the few lucky souls who actually do get along with their parents.

I think the best solution here is to take a step back and question what you know is right and what you should be doing.
