Complaints

Okay people, here is where you and I get to yell at all the things in life that you deem totally unfair, outrageous, stupid, or just plain mean. Write me at acmedunveiled@netscape.net and tell me what really pisses you off. Here are a few of mine. I also want to add that if I seem to have singled you out to yell at, talk to me privately, I'm sure I was just venting and don't mean it.

1. Gangs. I had a drive-by shooting in my neighbourhood (Tacoma, Wa. Sunday July 5th) and everything points to a gang. Nobody was killed luckily, but at 1:30 am the next morning 4 people were killed also by a gang not three blocks from my house. 3 Fucking blocks! Please, people please, violence is not the answer. I'm almost going crazy, really on the verge of insanity. Don't do this to each other! Now for something a bit more tame...

2. People in the halls. Now for those of you who don't have crowded hallways, you really won't understand. For those of you who insist on walking really slowly down the halls, this is for you. Walk faster people, I need to be on time!!!

3. Getting a call or an e-mail that says nothing. I don't really want to talk to you when I have other things to do and all you want to do is talk about is how cute your cat is. Not saying anything (NL...) but unless I know you can say something intellegent otherwise, knock it off!!!

4. Those of you who obsess over fiction(ie:movies, books, TV, actors). Come on now, it isn't real people, it's all in your head!! Those guys are paid to look cute and have you salivate over them! It isn't real! Don't join all those horribly ditzy people who think it is real and that they're going to get those guys you see...!!!

5. People who pull rank. Come on, I'll be in the same grade you are soon enough. If I'm not cool enough for you now, then I'm sorry, but you needn't show off because your parents made a mistake and had you at all, let alone earlier than mine had me!!!

6. Notes that tell me to write back. If I wanted to write back to you, don't you think I would? I mean, if you don't write me anything but "write me a note!" then what do I have to write to you about? It's called logic, people!!!

7. No-Blinkers These are the people who turn corners, zip around other cars and generally make turns without using their blinkers. People get killed that way, you know? On the other hand, when you forget to turn your blinker off, that's also annoying as hell...!

8. Walk-arounds. For those of you who don't know what these are, you stand in a line, fighting people who you are supposedly friends with for a spot just to stand (preferably in front of them). Then you sit, grumbling and nervous until they tell you to get up and go to sign up for your classes. Then you run as fast as you can down the halls to where all of your teachers are sitting and push "friends" out of the way to get the last spot in a class that you absolutely MUST have. Then you find out that you can't fit one class in, and you have to do it all over again, only a month later and in the counselor's office where you feel like screaming at them and tearing their heads off. Not that you'd do it, but still... Do you see the problem? Everyone brings Kleenex, by the way.

I belive that's all, but I'll add all of yours and whatever else happens to piss me off this day.
