The first person to tell me Im bitter because I didn't finish art school gets kicked with a stick. Or something.

You're just bitter that you didn't finish art school.

Nothing really makes me angry. There's really no point in getting angry about stuff since usually it's something you really have no control over.

Oh cool, do I get to be the first arse to say that I really make me angry? My laziness, my intolerance, my inability to say what I mean or mean what I say, my general willingness to say how shit I am but not bother to make an effort to change myself... grrr. Still, I'm getting better. By 2005 I hope to be apathetic about my faults.

And on a less self-obsessed note;
Tenacious D. Needs no explanation.

The fact that I just spent eight hours in a workplace with inadequate ventilation, putting little cards in velvet pouches (about 5000 little cards altogether) makes me just a leeeetle bit narked. Oh, yeah-- and there aren't enough seats to go round so we have to take turns to stand.

My fucking father, shouting at me because he's just had a shitty drive or fill in the blank bad day.
Myself once again leaving things to the last moment and just pissing my life away rather than getting things done. A me too there to what Lada said.
Call centers and British Telecom, where is a bunker buster when you need one, blow em up and salt the earth.

But I don't get very angry like a used to, I mean I haven't even started hitting people round the heads with an oar.

"Oh no, not this topic again" posts. No apologies, this is crap in all manner of ways.

It's simple people, if someone wants to talk about a topic, then it's worth discussing, unless it's troll then bring me a large stick.

Mouth Ulcers (especially on the tongue)

Jimminy crankshaft, the agony! Placed just so, at the back, for maximum tooth-rubbing pain and minimum accessibility. Talking and eating now accompanied by weeping and whining.

When I am Queen of the Universe I will have it fixed so that all parts of the mouth can be removed by their owner, laid out on a workbench and the offending ulcers sanded down/hacked off/filled in with meat paste etc.

Yes, it usually is. Simple people often make me angry, but I know it isn't their fault really, so then I feel bad for feeling angry. Then I have a lie down.

"Do I tell people I paint, draw, whatever? Sure. But I would never tell someone "Im an Artist." I don't tell them Im an architect either, I tell them I make windows."

This debate annoys me. Why allow anyone the luxury of judging your limitless potential on the basis of anything banal as a 'job description'. Can't you say 'I work as a waiter at Chez Whatever, but I'm writing/drawing/defecating with blue paint as well, and etc etc'. Are people who are trying to do something other than slot into ill-defined economic roles really that annoying? I'd be a bit disappointed if a waiter wasn't doing something a bit more stimulating on the side, be it yoga, golf or free-form jazz.

The most expedient thing to say when asked 'and what do you DO?' a few seconds into a conversation by some be-suited banker/accountant/estate agent is to say 'heroin, Motherfucker' before tipping their glass of Merlot on their head.

Drivers who turn right on a red who only look left at oncoming traffic without looking to the right for pedestrians. I've been hit multiple times. It's astounding how pedestrians seem to turn invisible to most drivers. It's as if most people become a different species when they climb behind the wheel.

When you write and then leave something. Two months later it's an awful piece of work and it's screaming to be sorted out but your writer's block has escalated to the point where you want to throw a tantrum because the words don't come anymore. Sometimes you wonder if it's because you post too much on a website on the internet, if it's inhibiting you, than you question if your environment is all wrong. It doesn't matter though because it just isn't going to happen and soon the thirteen pages you wrote that were your beginning will be lost forever. Failed again.

People who are angry at others based on differing world views, the first words in intolerance, particularly when they have the audacity to suggest they are open-minded and understanding where others aren't.
I suppose that almost means I'm self-loathing, how about that.

People who preach tolerance and complain about the results, the kind of folks most of us are. Sooner or later with the way politics is headed I'll be able to sum that group up in one word - liberals.

God, I hear that. I've been blocked for a year now, barring work and Upsideclown, basically since a lengthy, "oh, what's the use, the entire world's bollocked" dry spell after 9/11...

Ditto - except it's seven months for me. Without a certain distraction, it'd be driving me nuts about now... but you know how, in Superman II, Clark Kent didn't miss his superpowers 'cause he was with Lois Lane? Yeah... I need a General Zod to kick me in the spandex ass...

something thats making me angry, at no-one in particular:
seeing someone who's strong, positive, life affirming, confident and bloody good fun to be around reduced by illness to an old man at the age of 22. watching him deal with the fact that people have to open doors for him, he can't drive anymore, a 200 yard walk leaves him exhausted.

This is (or could be, depending on what you mean, I suppose) a good thing. This is a demonstration that said people are actually preaching tolerance rather than "tolerance of stuff we like". Tolerance is going to result in antagonisms arising, unless everyone in the world suddenly starts believing in the same things, which would be bad and totalitarian, and "complaining" is a relatively low-violence response to antagonism.

People who preach tolerance and then intern asylum-seekers or claim that "they" are "swamping" "our" schools, on the other hand, can fuck right off.

Writing yourself into a dead end. I have too many W.I.P's that get stuck because I really should get some plot developed before I bring out the candle wax and dildos.

Time recording. If I had the time to record what I was doing I would!!!

The phrases "I'm sorry" "please call me" and "all our operatives are busy at the moment but please hold and.."

Those bits of dry skin that you get on your fingers near your nails which you think you can just pull off but then they end up taking off half the skin on your finger and make you bleed everywhere.

People with instant cameras who insist on taking photos of me.

Intolerance

Pagans who insist they are the reincarnation of Merlin/Morgan La fey etc and Gardnerians who go on about 'oath breaking'

My entire sorry love life

All of us when we're revelling in our petty feeble bigotries/rituals of putting down others to make ourselves feel better so as not to have to muster the guts to deal with ourselves/our fears.

Oranges. Oranges make me so angry. They can't even compare with apples.

Aside from that--
~Renting an apartment without thinking to look in the fridge for rails on the shelves.
~People I don't have the energy to kick out of my life repeatedly creeping back in.
~Being foolish enough to move without asking for any help.
~Needing help.

Pfft, if you truly believe in tolerance and believe in the freedoms of others with whom you disagree, you won't complain because you don't believe they should be stopped, but you do. Don't feel bad, all of us are only human.

Yeah, but, for example, I can surely complain that the mosque being built next door to me is going to wake me up at some fucking horrible hour of the morning (and has the ugliest dome I've ever seen), without that making me a hypocrite for arguing for tolerance of mosques in general? I mean, I don't think they should stop building the mosque, I just wish the dome didn't remind me of the scary-ass creature at the end of Watchmen/.

As for stuff that makes me angry: something my dad did. In 1998. You'd think I'd be over it by now but I was just thinking about it in the bath today and it made me cry with rage. I'd forgive and forget but that would be like a defeat.
 
 
Turk
18:56 / 21.08.02
Fair enough, Deva, about your situation with the mosque, it's why any reasonable person who thinks things through won't proclaim that they are tolerant without further adding in so far as it doesn't make them unhappy. I don't have a problem when they complain.
The unadulterated nonsense of the all-loving-tolerance-is-everything crowd is what browns me off, unless they really are doormats, the only genuine conclusion their supposed approach to life can lead to.

There's also this--

To quote Haus (from a Teen Romance thread): So, first he jokingly submits her to racial abuse, then she is so pathetically grateful to him for not raping her that she decides to give him some sugar anyway, at which point we discover that the jocko scumbag can't even wrap his head around condoms, much less wrap a condom around his head. This man is the devil! And Alex is colluding in her own misery like it's going out of style.

~Colluding in my own misery like it's going out of style. Prison-style.

The fact that my fear of criticsm prevents me from punting out writey stuff that's as finished as it's ever going to be; the fact that the supposed repairmen who fix stuff around my flat failed to recognise that the crop of toadstools under my upstairs neighbours' bath was, in fact, dry rot, and thus my fucking bathroom ceiling is currently propped up with scaffolding, a situation that could have been averted altogether if they'd fixed that leaky plughole when they said they'd fixed it instead of screwing around and leaving the fucking floorboards to get saturated and OH HELL ON TOAST, WHY AM I SURROUNDED BY FUCKBAKES WHO SEEM TO TAKE A PEVERSE DELIGHT IN SCREWING UP THEIR FUCKING BLOODY JOBS? WHY?!

The word fuckbake. Not that it's a bad word but it just reminds me of everyone that I can apply it to, like a label without the politics.

Work, due to the enhanced supply of diligent fuckbakery, is driving me insane. One week left to go in which I intend to review my list of people that I have angered, annoyed, irritated, subjected to condecension, verbally abused, aggravated, pissed off and generally alienated and ensure that I haven't missed any dserving cases.

Three months of sustained REM deprivation hasn't done a whole lot for my mood either.

I was fairly mad when I heard the news that the airline for my ticket had filled for Chapter 11. Less mad when they received it.
