Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

I didn't see my best friend at Stepping Stones and summer is long over.

Hanyo you can pour a bucket or pitcher of water down the toilet to flush it if you don't want to stick your hand in the tank. I don't blame you for not wanting to stick your hand in there, I wouldn't want to either. The few times I can remember my toilet breaking, I used a bucket of water I filled from the bathtub instead until it could be fixed. That way you don't have to go somewhere else to go to the bathroom.

I didn't get to talk to my mom at all today because she worked her long shift and when she got home, my siblings needed to talk to her about their problems. I hate days like these. I guess I'll just spend a little extra time visiting with my imaginary friends tonight so I don't feel so lonely.

i suppose i expected too much realism from the game. the various clocks i see always say the same time, and the night sky contains a splattering (smattering?) of white dots which to not accurately represent the "heavens".

but otherwise i am very happy with the game because i like to lead my AI opponents into self defeating actions.

it is one thing to actually play the game as it should be played, and quite another thing to play it as i play it. i look for flaws in the AI logic and i exploit them. i am often seized with laughter at the actions i can elicit from my AI enemies.

yesterday i calculated (roughly (by observation)) the pseudocode that is the "chase" code of AI assailants in small cars, and i managed to almost collapse both my lungs in paroxysmal laughter when i elicited the following effect.

i was driving a boat along a river, and i came to a point where there was an overhead car bridge crossing the river, and an AI enemy in a small car saw me, and he immediately got out of his car and started firing at me from the bridge.

then i had a funny idea based upon my understanding of the behavior of enemies driving small cars.

i stopped the boat and started backing up.
i was backing my boat away from the bridge, and the driver of the small car had only a handgun, and i was receding out of his range, so he got in his car, and he tried to chase me.

he continuously rammed (and backed up and rammed again and again) the side railings of the bridge he was on in order to steer toward me, and at one point he busted through the wooden railings, and his car fell straight into the river in front of me, and he made gurgling sounds as his car sank (he died), and then i sat back down and continued my boat journey to where i had to go.

i like finding loopholes in games, and i like exploiting them.

so in summary, i was not sad about the inaccuracy of the clocks. i was just disappointed that the design team did not go that one tiny extra step in the realism department (to make all the clocks show real time)

The dentist.

To IdahoRose - I hate when that happens. My mother wants to come visit me here in Virginia again but she can't because she has to take care of my step-father and grandmother. I can understand her taking care of my step-father because he has cancer tumor that won't quit growing in his neck but my grandmother is healthy as a horse and her doctor says she's going to out live us all.

She stays with my mother because no one else in the family wants her around because she's so mean, demanding and she's a racist and she likes to create problems and start fights. She's not anything like the sweet idealist picture of a grandmother who bakes cookies, cooks wonderful Sunday dinners and makes quilts or anything like that. She's "Nightmare Granny". One of these days, I'm going to write a story and use her for the evil villian.

That's hilarious.

That abandoned feeling that I've felt around my parents, since my special interest started to show between the ages 5 and 7. I don't need to be cured of my AS, they need to be cured of their old school thinking about ASDs.

This. I know what you mean. I was completely isolated and abandoned by my parents and family growing up cause of my special interests

^Thinking about my childhood makes me unhappy (and depressed) too. So I'm not going to.

I was rear-ended while at a stop light a few weeks ago and my car insurance is refusing to pay for all the problems because they are saying some of it was not caused by when I was hit. I just bought the car new a few months ago and it had 3,500 miles on it at the time of the accident. It was brand-new and had no problems. So, I don't understand how the stuff was not caused by the accident.

Plus, the body shop that did the work apparently charged GEICO to check/fix the alignment, but never did it. Today I called them and fought with them because it's been pulling to the right since the accident and they finally admitted that "the alignment was overlooked because the guy who does alignments was out sick that day." So, they did check it for me today, but basically they committed insurance fraud.

Because my car has lost value from the body work, I now owe more on the loan than it's actually worth, plus there are unresolved problems with it still. All I did was stop at a stop light!! ! This has been a nightmare.

I've started two non Kinks related topics and I got burned both times.

my last intro to gender and womens studies lesson was yesterday. they were part of my routine and i really enjoyed them.

Catching the occasional reminder that NT's are just simply put, 360, better than me. On one hand it lights a fire and reminds me that I have to push that much harder to make ends meet, but it also reminds me that no matter how successful I am I'll still be annoying and odd looking so - I just have to accept that this part is just natural order, you don't clime out from under it, you just kinda take it and remember that they have their flaws that they take it on the chin for as well.

My computer is really acting up. Maybe I souldn't have renewed Norton.

Getting cold ass french fries. That always pisses me off.
