Here Here! I couldn't have put it better NVG! I have no resentment or bad feelings towards anyone... (well perhaps there's one person I'd like to remove from one of my friend's world!) but in the end I actually feel sorry for them - they make their own misery!Hi pepole's - I have precious moments online and am making the most of it!

mornin' drinkers.

Yesterday was a good day, on the whole. There were a couple of negative things, but mostly things went well. I got a new vehicle to replace the one I totalled a few weeks ago. I've wanted a Jeep Wrangler since high school, and now I have one. I'll have pictures in a few minutes, and I'll share them with y'all.

*wanders over to the bar and grabs a bottle of Jameson, which he happily takes a few swallows of*

I haven't seriously drank in a while, I just can't do it when I'm in a stressed mood. Neither can my roommate, so I knew he had a good day when I woke him up on the couch and he was 3 sheets to the wind.

Plus, raining, blown out from a job I applied for, just found the idea I was halfway through writing being done by someone else (though very well, Wytchcroft!)

Hell with it. Just lie me down under the gorram tap.

Yesterday, I was diagnosed with mild to severe depressive disorder. I spent the night at the district hospital. They had me bouncing from one shrink to another until I finally got to see a psychiatrist. He prescribed me a few pills, and wanted to keep me around for the weekend and the better part of the week. I wasn't exactly thrilled with this particular course of action. In point of fact, I was horrified. I let him know how I felt, and he told me that they could actually force me to stay if they deemed it to be necessary. I just about freaked out. Seriously there wasn't anything about this place that wasn't both spooky and dispiriting. Plus, the food was terrible. Somehow, I ultimately managed to twist their arm into letting me go home, and I still have the meds, so it's a happy ending, but these sure gave me a good scare. I would've went nuts in that place, no question about it.

Oh, and I think I caught a cold

*sigh* Thank god for that mid-term break, it couldn't have come at a better time.

On another note, I'm happy that things are finally falling into place for you

I'm at my parents' this weekend, so I thought I'd make a rare weekend appearance.

My issues seem to be getting resolved, so hopefully in the next week or so things will be back to normal for me. Well, locally.

Now if only I could learn how to deal with people in a manner that didn't make them run away screaming.

Glad you're having such fun with your pay rise Ems, my other half obviously knows me as she is starting to get into organisation mode for the move and has said I can have money to buy a guitar with some of the freed up money (this is a shameless attempt to prevent me buying one sooner, which I am strongly tempted to so I can spend money doing up the house, I think I can do both but we'll see). I have to say Tennant and Stewart in the Scottish play will be something to see.

With everything else going on, I managed to slip down the stairs at my apartment this weekend and I've got a lovely bruise, and a few sore spots....plus I've reached the opinion that I'm a "great friend" to several but beyond that (for the ones I'm interested in) -- I must be sending them screaming for the hills or the ocean.

I hope everyone has a smoother week than I will...

There are still a few tickets left for October! Selling out fast. It's running in London and Stratford Upon Avon.

Oh and you should totally get the guitar. Impulse buys are the most fun!

what good are asterisks or other symbols in place of a few select letters in "swear" words? are the words really that cleverly obscured that no one who's below the age of 16 would be able to tell what they are? i mean, is it really better, or more wholesome, or more "child-safe" to read that asterisk-filled type than the actual word? after all, you're still thinking the same thing (or saying it, for those who can't read without moving their lips). or do people really think (say) to themselves "deh-star-oochec-star-cks"? or does the use of these symbols alleviate some sort of guilt people feel for thinking and typing such horrible naughty things?

I've got no answer for most, but for me, sometimes it's to show how truly incoherently upset/angry I am. I mean, I could say something like "with everything that's been going on lately, I feel like a goddamnasslickingdouchebagcuntsuckingmotherfuckingloser" but "I feel like I'm a !@#$%^)_(*&^%#$%=" allows people to get the idea...and some of adults (sometimes I fall under this) are prudes. Then again, I'd also switch to "I feel like a gorramn kawaisoobakamono goutsaodetchenwah..." to describe it also. (Plus, I've got to demonstrate *ahem* "proper" behavior around the lovelies...so yeah, I've got to be a verbal prude at times.)

Well I'm not a computer expert (ha! the very idea!) but I have been told that those of us with puritanical and tyrannical jobs have software that scans e-mails (and possibly web sites?) for 'bad' words. Presumably computers get confused by such obvious ploys. That's why I usually write cr@p to my friends (Hmm, that's probably true in more than the literal sense).

Of course I still get in trouble because as an Animal Care teacher I still have to look at a lot of sites involving the words pen1s etc. I keep trying to explain that this is not animal porn but again, computers = stupid!

I know there are computer experts here. Is all of the above worthwhile or an urban myth about Big Brother surveillance computer software?

To a large part you are correct Emma, the company I work for scans emails, which causes problems as we make healthcare packaging/labels/leaflets and there are various words that are on spam lists that we have legitimate use for, which we're forever having to release etc. Computer are not intelligent, they are fast. They can process large amounts of rules but can't make intuitive decisions so essentially you can setup logic systems but you can't ask them to deal with context in the same way a human brain can.

As for HK's point, I fell into the habit on forums kind of to indicate that I don't want to offend anyone. In RL obviously, you can pick up body language etc to get a hint as to whether you are mortally offending someone and whilst I grew up in household that swore freely, I don't like offending people so do tend to modify my language depending on who I am around.

Anyway, drinks for all who wants them, sadly I have got work to do so catch you in a bit.

this is still confusing to me. whether you write "f**k", "f***", "f*ck", or "fuck", it's still meant to be the same word, you're still thinking the same word, and people are still reading the same word, so how is that any less offensive? this is the thing i don't understand. it's like people are under some delusion that the * in place of a few letters makes the word harmless and inoffensive...??

I believe that communicating on boards, as opposed to face-to-face has a lot to do with how we 'swear' here. Due to my history I have been known to truly shock people with my "bad" language. In person, I would just smile and mostly the 'shock/offense' look would fade from their eyes (and if it didn't fuck 'em - assholes). ANYWAY I think THAT (and filter-y work-type computer programs) is why all the ** or __ in some of my most favorite and often used words. Even as we get to 'know' one another online most Hoomans still need the 'facial' expressions and other body language stuff to TRULY understand what's 'meant.'
