Hmmm... My current Pat Hate is becoming of a running gag for every fricken year. The Melbournian Winter. The weather itself was like a purgertory between the cold freezing atmosphere for countries like Canada and Northen Europe and the monsoon season in the tropical countries. Except combine the worse of it. Whaaa, how does that even work?!?

Maybe I'm using a bad analogy there, but think of this way. Imagine a cold winter day in Canada, but minus the snow for constant rainfall almost every single day. Unfortunately the closest thing when it comes to snow is a small frost patch on grass on a early cold morning.

Unfortunately the closest thing when it comes to snow is a small frost patch on grass on a early cold morning. I suppose it depends on how you define cold. We cold rains around here in the winter. But those are on the warmer winter days. It's about time I added a beef to the list. My doctor. I caught a case of vertigo in December. If you don't know what it is, just imagine your sense of balance being thrown off because something in your inner ear got thrown off. I spent Christmas eve and boxing day in the emergency room because I quite literally thought I had something truly serious happening. You don't want to know how sick I felt that first week. I was on short term disability over it fo r2 months. Then I sorta got better and was able to mostly function until this month. Now it is back. I'm a bit wiser now and I asked my doctor about physiotherapy. From what I have heard from other sources it can usually take care of it. My doctor is like "Oh that is a good idea". Thanks lady, you get paid 100.00 an hour and I have to suggest my own treatment? Meanwhile at a conservative estimate I have lost about 4000.00 in wages this year. If all goes well I will be rid of it by the end of August and I can go back to being miserable fixing peoples laptop cards over the phone. Ah...that almost felt good.

I hate just how bloody addictive Civilisation 4 is, there's a reason why I'm up at 5am, and that reason is my leadership of the great Native American empire.
God help me when Civ5 comes out next month XD

Here's one that, I admit, nobody here can really relate to:
Trying to get your four horses' feet trimmed when it's 106. At 7 p.m.. You know, when it's supposed to be... cooler. At least the new mare (who's in my avatar pic) didn't try to have a temper tantrum about it. (She's smart, but opinionated.)
Oh, and horror movies that try to be smart and scary but fail miserably. Yes, "The Haunting in Connecticut", I am looking at YOU. "Hey, your older brother just got cut up and is bleeding everywhere, but you kids stay in the SAME FREAKING HOUSE IT JUST HAPPENED IN while I follow the ambulance to the hospital." That's some BRILLIANT parenting right there! Its one upshot is that has a decent soundtrack.
Why do people insist on staying in such places? If I'm placed in such a situation, I promise here and now that I will say out loud and quite publicly, "Screw the mortgage. I'm getting the kerosene and matches together! Now go get the marshmallows!"

That would be your first mistake. Everyone knows that it's the person who goes off alone who gets killed next.

The parents in 'Poltergeist' always were incredibly stupid like that, too!
The house is haunted and seems interested in their little girl. So what do they do? Stay in the house, react with mild curiosity, and have the girl help performing amusing tricks with the ghost.
Then the girl is taken into another dimension. The parents bring in an expert, over the course of several days, whilst they and the other children remain in the house.
Finally they get the girl back, and everything is cool. Get the girl out of the house, right? No, the mum goes to take a bath and the dad goes to work - leaving the little girl alone in the same room she was originally abducted in.
Then the house quite rightly folds in on itself to kill them all.

Why is it when my personal life resembles a Category 5 sh*tstorm, my frigging ex who ripped my heart out, all the rest, suddenly f*cking shows up AFTER YEARS not even giving me the goddamn time of day?! WHY?! "Hey your brother might be dying, they told you you can't donate a kidney because they don't think it will help now, and your mom's not handling it well? Want sex?" HOLY $*%& YOU GODDAMN $*%*%&& #&%&((%&&^ $*%&@()!$&%&%&! WHY NOW?!? Being an #*$&&()@ to me last time wasn't enough or WHAT?! Yeah you left me for a MARRIED woman, you $*%&%& dumbass. Guess that didn't work out so well for you, bastard!
You have NO idea what I just did to my knuckles and my vocal chords! There is not even CLOSE to enough Captain Morgan in my house right now!
I need to clean up a bit before I have to explain what happened to the walls.

Yipes. Hope things get better, and soon.

Bloody hell, Chantress. I'm sorry to hear about all of this...
I suggest you kill the ex. What is it about ex's and their having-sex-with-the-person-whose-hear-I-broke-is-a-good-idea theory? To any ex's (exes?) reading this - it's not. Don't offer.

Wow Chantress....that's just wrong on too many levels. Kick him in the quads. Show him the door then get drunk. I have nothing else to say except wow just wow.
@ Buch, you obviously have no contact with the average douchbag male. You see in their private fantasy world their ex-girlfriends are just patiently waiting in a corner for them to come back for the express reason of giving sex when asked. They do exist and I have known some such.

Actually I was talking about one of my own exes... a woman, but yeah. I know allllll about that kind of behaviour and it isn't necessarily male. It sure is lousy. Makes you wonder what you saw in them.

Ah yes, but how many people know it is for real and not the invention of bad prime time comedy?
