Alya's journal

Someone shut them up.

Dear deity, if you exist,

Today sucked. Yesterday sucked. That whole past week? Also sucked.

In fact, I'm pretty sure 90% of my days have sucked since... late June.

In conclusion: You fail.

Sincerely,
Alyanumbers

ETA: Hello power outage just as I was saving my game!

Someone on my LJ flist posted this:

I'm in a shitty, shitty mood these days. I wish I could say I'm PMSing or something, but, uh, I don't actually PMS. I just get these wild moodswings for no reason sometimes, and they're not made any better by the fact the government SUCKS, and uni SUCKS, and they CAN'T MANAGE TO STAMP A LITTLE PIECE OF PAPERWORK IN FIVE FUCKING DAYS AND I WON'T BE DONE WITH MY NATIONAL ID APPLICATION BEFORE RAMADAN AND SUCK SUCK SUCK!

*fumes*

Things I rarely do that I have done in the past 48 hours:

• Ranted at a friend over the phone for calling me when I told her not to.
  
• Insulted someone's parentage on UFB.
  
• Driven a Student Services employee to near-tears by yelling at him.

... I think I'll go have some chocolate.

Oh, and my eldest (first) cousin is leaving Egypt tonight, and I'm coping badly. :/

You know, I'm usually convinced that the average IQ on the wank comms (and on JF in general) is much higher than in the greater part of the internet.

So between the latest Twilight wank and this, I hate JF today. D:

I'm sorry, but LOL.

What the hell? Okay, I can see where 'More Romantic Than You' might be a reference to what is, after all, a large TS2 fansite. But 'Los Pescados'? And 'Arr, Mateys'? Really?

ETA: Oooh! That looks awesome!

Just got home. Was at my cousin's farewell party. I've had so much fun, which is a change from moping in a corner or sitting with 50-year-olds all evening (what I did the last couple of times I've been to a party). We played a game we call Mafia, and omg so many people accusing each other, and shouting and arguing, it was hilarious.

ETA: gah omg i think i've trapped myself in my dress. It has a fly on the side and it won't open. HALP.

It used to be the flame ridden environment of usenet that kept a lot of women away. It was a harsh realm.

Oh, STFU.

Also, newsflash: because one loony decided that slash is Evil and Anti-Feminist, and makes absurd points, doesn't mean sexism doesn't exist in fandom. Or, you know, in RL. blackjackrocket, I'm looking at you:

'There have been studies done showing women treating babies wearing blue far better than the ones wearing pink.'

I'm assuming those were the only colors used. Also pink is an ugly color. It looks like spitup and undercooked meat--two very gender-neutral things.

Oh, and, from the OP:
While I share your frustration sometimes with women who conform to patriarchy, this is behaviour that I do not blame on individual women, I blame it on men who uphold the patriarchal system and force women to conform to what they see as acceptable behaviour.

There you go, it's not society as a whole that is patriarchal, it's All The Men's Fault.

Make it stop. ;_;

I hate my new fandom more than I did my old one. Given that my old fandom was Harry Potter, that is pretty impressive.

To sum up, the new Sims Expansion Pack has green-skinned stereotypical witches in it, and some Wiccan chick is taking offense. Everyone thinks she's being ridiculous, including me.

Now, what I don't like is that some people are making arguments such as, "I knew a Wiccan person and they would not be offended by something like this", "People get offended too easily by stupid shit; it's just a game!"

Not the right argument to make, people.

Also, the same people who were like, "What's wrong with a teen Woohoo hack? Teens have sex in real life, sometimes with adults! It's REALISTIC!", are now going, "She made a rape hack? SHE HAS QUESTIONABLE MORALS!"

It's such a stupid, stupid fandom. :(

I decided to check out fandom_discuss, and came across this post.

Wow, some people sound like assholes.

Actually, I don't know why there's a 'wow' in that last sentence.

My dad has just discovered cat macros. He's spent two hours on I Can Has Cheeseburger already.

Would have posted to unfunnybusiness, but for some reason, they seem to believe I'm a troll, and not just a guy who occasionally shoves his foot in his mouth. Besides, I don't remember a "funny" requirement for the lounges.

Phailsinensis stared at his computer screen. He didn't get it; why were they all calling him a troll? All he said was that trolling was protected under freedom of speech! He was defending freedom! And now they were all making fun of him and explaining to him how wrong he was. They don't understand him; nobody does.

A single perfect tear rolls down his left cheek. Phailsinensis looks out of the window at the night sky, dark like his soul.

He decides to make a post to random_lounge. After all, it only had most of its population in common with unfunnybusiness, so maybe someone, somewhere would understand him, and the deep pain in his soul.

He was only defending freedom. Why do they hate freedom?!


ETA: Oh man, I'd written this before he deleted my comment. Now I wonder what he'd have done if I'd posted this to his post... Deleted the whole post, maybe? XD


ETA 2: OMG SOMEONE MAKE HIM GO AWAY.

I have no idea what the point of this post is, except to say I've been up all night, and am now about to take my bike to the repair shop, then ride it around my neighbourhood. I haven't done that in a while.

Anyway, I hope I don't faint while doing that? Because I have no idea what will happen if I pass out in the middle of the road in a deserted suburb.

Um.

I'm not very coherent when I haven't slept.

This made me giggle. Sorry, Fishie.

Ladies and gentlemen,

( Cap of the latest faily post on C_W )

It was deleted a few minutes after it got tagged.

I'm watching PotC. For the first time. Just finished the second and starting the third.

Okay, July is not my month.

I hurt my shoulder two nights ago while I was getting in bed. In fact, hurt it so badly that I need painkillers to sleep.

Tonight I have a migraine from hell. And I'm still on anti-histamine, which means that I am both really sleepy and unable to sleep.

Someone shoot me.



Also, wtf, there's a Facebook group called "Prettiest female eyes on Facebook". They organise a beauty contest based on photos and shit. WTF?!

One of the pictures actually made me gasp in shock. :(

ETA: Is... is this supposed to be some kind of surprise? Genetics have always worked that way, people.
Watch out for simonym in the comments, too: I love that the father doesn't care about their skin colour. <3 Racial diversity rocks! Er, yes, kudos to the father for having at least the minimum of human decency, I guess?

I don't get these people.

Can't wait to be done with fucking Zyrtec so I can stop walking around like a zombie. Just three more days.

I like being home. No one's yelling at me here.

My eyes are back to normal now, so yay! But I still have to use eye drops and take anti-histamine tablets. Those tablets make me so sleepy, by the way; it's been ages since I've slept that much. 14 hours per night, wtf?

But anyway, I'm so happy I can read and use the computer normally again. On the other hand, I don't want to see sunlight for at least 3 months now.

On another note, I saw Ramadan lanterns in shops today. Ramadan isn't for 6 more weeks, so I was surprised to see them that early. But it's nice; I like their colours and lights. I think they add much-needed cheer to old, grey Cairo.
