College rant
2004-09-21 11:03:46
Gawd I have never been so utterly mortified in my life.
My mother called a college in Chicago (International Academy of Technology and Design, I believe) not too long ago. She talked to a representative and set up a phone interview...without my knowing. So out of the blue on Saturday I get a call from this school. My mom has gone off to a hunting tournament and I have no clue about what's going on.
So I stumble through the interview, totally unprepared.
Becuase my mom wasn't there and because it was obvious that I had no clue as to what was going on, the representative I talked to was kind enough to schedule another interview, including my mom in on things. I informed my mom about the interview and I planned on checking out their website. Unfortunately, I had a shitload of homework and a job to go to.
The representative calls again. This time my mom is home but she's sleeping. So the representative starts talking about my options and what the school is like (from what he described, it sounded pretty awesome, the information wasn't one-sided either. He talked about the difference between the institute and other colleges and whether or not going to this school would be the best option for me). After that it was time to include my mom in on things (I mean comm'on! She called them in the first place. An interview was required with both the parents and the applicant, to see if the school is the right one to apply for).
She yelled at the representative! He didn't do anything to provoke her! She told him that he was pushy and that she would call the college when she felt like it and that he had no right to impose on our life! Oh yeah, Eeimonn needs to feed horses. What did horses have to do with anything!? The representative tried to reschedule and apologize for calling at a bad time but she friggin blew the guy off.
So now I can just kiss that school good bye. From the interview and other various points the representative made, it sounded like a decent school to go to. Small class sizes, the tuition is a little high, but the school specializes in graphics and multimedia.
By this time I'm sniveling and she's telling me it's not my fault that the representative was pushy (so goddamn clueless!). Then she tells me to get my ass outside and feed her friggin' horses.
I come back in later (still sniveling). She asks me what's wrong (in a sympathetic voice). I told her what I thought of the school. Then she asked me what was so great about it. I proceded to tell her and then she got mad at me. She said I should have looked at the website and then shared the info with me. She switched around from sympathetic to somehow being my fault that she got mad at the representative. Oh yeah, you also stole my monitor cable, Eeimonn! Once again, what did that have to do with anything!? *grumble* Didn't even apologize when she found out I didin't touch her friggin' monitor.
So I can kiss that college good bye.

scrapped

Meh. Due to complications with my mother's puter, my amv won't be airing for quite some time (see stupid self-centered rant below). Technically, the video is finished but it's definately not ready to premiere. Once I save up for a laptop (the one for college) I'll revive the video. I'll start from square one. There are a lot of things I want to do with the video but can't at the momement (not becuase I don't have the knowledge, but becuase I don't have the time. Funny, since it's summer and all).
Stupid self-centered rant:
There are 2 working computers in my house. "My" Pentium II processor Gateway from good old 1998 and my "Mom's" (I feel really immature for bitching about my parents all the time. They really aren't all that bad) Brand Spanking New (specializing in videos and other media) puter. Guess which one I prefer to make AMV's one.
The mum's puter has a 76 GB hard drive. Over 50 GB has been used up. Over time, my mother noticed her computer was running a bit slower than usual...Guess who suddenly was at fault. She came to the conclusion that my video clips (and just my stuff on her computer in general) were the cause on her computer slowing down (even though it's probably becuase she never shuts it down, literally, her computer stays on all day and all night). So, she became quite pissed at me (indirectly provoked anger). She told me to back up my stuff before she deleted it.
In the end my stuff only freed up 10GB. It sounds like a lot (and it is) but it really didn't make that much of a difference (my mom filled up the 10GB within a week, with her own video files. Not that her files aren't important, but would it kill her to clean out her folders once in a while?). So the only real permenant solution is to wait for $2800+ to appear in my savings account. Once the money gnome comes to visit, I can finally get my own computer (up to date puter that is).
So for now the video is scrapped and it won't be appearing anytime soon
*Stick 'em up victims squeal and cry with joy*
Becuase you've put up with my frequent rants and raves, I've included some websites worth checking out (good old copy and paste).

Annoying day
2004-07-25 01:16:55
*twitching vein*
The action above shows that this journal entry is about to become one of my selfish rants.
-Bad mood started right after mowing (o how interesting it is). The jobs just wouldn't fucking end. I kept on running into ruts and dirt mounds, which inturned caused the mower to die on me a few times. There is just no way to get that part of the lawn mowed properly. Quite frankly it looks like hell no that I'm "finished" with it, but I'm to pissy to care.
-I'm also at a loss at how to make my current amv project better (and I'm trying to find time where I can actually get some quality work done on it).
-I've been trying to get a hold of Ryujin for a couple days now. I need real social interaction (basic communtication between family and the people at my two-bit waitressing job doesn't count for much).
-I only got in 13.6 hours in (this week), at my waitressing job. Working at minimum wage + tips(death to the tip cup! I want to keep my tips, not share them with other co-workers *Hiss!*) isn't too bad when you can spend it on whatever you want. But I'm trying to save up for a friggin computer for college (a decent one, mind you. I have enough to buy a second rate computer at Dell that doesn't have jack shit on it, but I want something a bit better). Before I was working close to 25 hours. Big difference in paychecks.
Worst part about this day is, I can't unwind. I wait patiently for Saturday to come (new anime). But CN won't come in on my satelite.
[/ranting and bitching]
I apologize to those who have to put up with me. - Be amazed 2004-07-06 02:33:43 Interesting. I was just posting in a pointless VS thread and all of a sudden it just disapeared. I had no idea the mods could do that (shows you how much I know about forums).

Killing-ness
2004-07-02 12:26:46
I'm out for blood now! Oooo am I pissed! Just recently (a few minutes ago) I was going to render some video files for a friend. I click on my shortcut for Premiere on the destop. A message box pops up and says it can't find premiere.exe.
I searched my whole friggin computer and could find it...you know whay?! Because it was deleted from the program files folder. The whole fuckin' Adobe Premeire Pro folder was deleted!
And best of all I don't know where the disc is (I got Premeire on a disc from a friend).
So if your peasent village has been the recent victim of a brutal pillage or killing spree, the insane pissed off psycho that did it was me.
