Things that make you wish you weren't alive

[pippichan]

I'm sure that everyone has ever experienced embarassing or annoying things in their life. So, instead of keeping to yourself, why don't share them here for others to laugh at your misery? ;D

You can give comment to other's misfortune (or not) but you must name your own thing everytime you post. And since this is just for fun, make your reply as funny and wacky as possible. Ok? So, here we go...

Getting stuck among old people who enjoy talking about nothing but their diseases.

[iwakami]

Hmmmmmmm, that sucks.

Uh......(me?)..............................................................
My cd player broke today......(its an mp3.........all my fav music are on mp3 cd's).......My sister was cursing at me earlier.She;s a witch.................(I share a bedroom with her and a younger sister........their underwear and crap is all over the place...............that is all.

[rhein]

i wish i can join. but the nosy ppl will know... *grumble*
hey, that's it. i've just named one, didn't i?

yes, it's being stuck around nosy ppl who don't even regard me as a friend but so nosy abt me, invading my privacy like they want to know me better. that sucks isn't it?

sure this thread is a good way to release stress. it's also a way to know that everyone has their bad days too, not only you, ay?

btw, you haven't told us your best bad day, pie. you had one, don't you? the splash? sure everyone here will laugh abt it. i do. all the time. sorry! but you said it yourselves that we could laugh here.

[pippichan]

I think getting splashed isn't very bad. How about when I bumped my dad's car into the neighbour wall? Hm, surely it was very, very bad. Thank God my neighbour didn't sue me!

Eh, iwakami, if your sister is a witch, it shouldn't be hard for her to tidy your room, right? Just a swing of the wand and everything will be in order. ;D

[Teahouse Keeper]

You bumped your Dad's car into the neighbour's wall??

Gosh, Iwakami, don't any of you clean up the place? Where's the palace maid? The butler?

[pippichan]

Yeah, I tried to reserve but ended up crashing my neighbour's wall. ;D I'm a good driver, am I not?

Btw, teahouse keeper, you haven't named your misfortune. Are you a person with good luck all the time? Ah, I envy you. I always have bad luck on my tail.

[iwakami]

Butler? Maids? I WISH!!!
Nah, I clean things up. 3 people in one room, and only one (me) cleans up the stuff. Its just hard to keep iot clean all the time with school and other junk.

Hmmmmmm........being shit on by a bird does not make you feel like living. (LOL!!!! I had it happen once....and I was a mile from my house....I had to walk home. -got there 30 min. later)

[chateaubriand]

haha i had the same misfortune , iwakami. i got shit on too when i was in new york. are american birds really like that?

[pippichan]

Poor iwakami. Has someone laughed at you while you're walking home?

Walking absent-mindedly and bumping my forehead into a hanging low tree branch. ( It happened in school yard and there were some boys seeing the incident and laughing at me )

[Shoe]

I wish i had never ripped this girls bag with one of those sharp things from a sharpener. I did that when i was in year 6.. about 4 years ago, and it still haunts me...

[rhein]

ah, shoe, it's the girl you like, ay? why dont' you turn the incident into a blessing? that's if you still like the girl. it gives you the chance to go near her. just find out what kind of bag she likes most, then buy one for her. go to her w/ the bag. tell her that you felt really bad for what happened. you've been thinking abt it eversince. now you think you can try to make it up. so you've been saving your pocket money to buy it for her. she'll be glad and flattered, i'm sure. if she didn't find you a nice guy and interested in you, then at least she'll consider you as her friend from then. then you can start approaching her and making her likes you.

[rhein]

hmmm..., what abt being pushed off track by a car. the driver surely couldn't make use of his reaview mirror. or worse yet, got hit by a half-drunken motorbiker? luckily i wasn't alone that time. i was w/ my bro. he was driving. otherwise, it'd be creepy, you know. so late at night, motorcycle got hit and still gotta deal w/ two half-drunken scumbags. wow, hell no...

btw, just an advice iwakami, next time you cleans up the room, why don't you put their crap on their bed? well, actually, better yet, under their cover bed? that way, they will notice it only at the time they wanna go to bed. it's surely an annoying thing. ;D

[Shoe]

Well, i would buy her a new bag and say im sorry, but i haven't seen her since the last day of school when i was in year 6, well.. thet goes to prove how dumb i can be.

ok, lets see.. oh yes, back in year 8... when everyone found out i liked watching Sailor moon.. it was embarrasing.. and it was even more embarrasing because i go to an all boys high school. I had to just say i don't like it anymore and watch other anime to prove it... which worked.. but i still like Sailor Moon..

[Teahouse Keeper]

HAHAHAHA!!! Pippichan, you walked into a tree branch!!! And what's worse, the boys saw!!! What were you thinking about?

Hahahaha...Chateaubriand, I think birds everywhere are the same, whether you're in America or elsewhere. I know, cause I got crapped on too I hate birds when it happens. I feel like killing them all. Why can't they look first before letting it go? There are trees. Why can't they do it there?!

Drunk bikers and that weird driver.....Yeah Rhein, it's too bad you got to meet them. Dangerous.

Ah, Shoe, you poor fellow. Not being able to reveal your love for Sailor Moon even though you like it so much. I can understand how you feel. Are you still in that all boys school? If you're not, you can watch Sailor Moon all you want without people saying anything.

Hahaha....bad luck on your tail all the time, Pippichan? Well, it's not that I've good luck all the time...It's just that I don't think of these things as bad luck or misfortunes. These things happen Once I saw a man walk right into a glass door with a loud bang on his head. Gosh. It must hurt. He didn't see the door because it was so transparent

Thing is, it's not a matter of feeling silly. What's important is watching where we're going because sometimes, it can be dangerous.

Mmm.....so far, I've been crapped on, splashed by cars on rainy days....what else? I've hit my head on a low TV in a bus. It hurt but luckily the TV had rounded edges. I've fallen in public before. It hurt like hell. The floor was slippery and my sandals were worn out. I'm sure there're more, but I can't remember at the moment

[Shoe]

actually.. i've gotten over the obsession.. but i still like the show.. and im still in that all boys school.. now that i found out my friends also love anime as much as i do. w00t!

Another thing.... ah yes.. My family. My family is south american, including myself. My mum and dad are divorsed and i live in Australia with my mum and her family. One think they all have in common is that they are for some reason really racist towards Asians,

i really hate them because of it.. and they know that i hag around asians and most of my friends are asians.. It pisses me off how they continue their racists towards them. Because of that, it makes me wish i was born to another family, or that i weren't born,

[pippichan]

I wish I had been there to see your glorious fall, teahouse keeper!

Emm... what was I thinking? I don't remember exactly. It's just that my mind's so occupied at that time.

Oh, The Shoe, it's really bad to live among racist family members while you're not. *nod* I know how you feel. But I think I must give you a credit because you stand up for what you believe. And maybe someday you can change your family's racist opinion and attitude towards Asians.

Mmm... this annoying event happened some christmases ago. There was an exchanging gifts at school. I got a big, nice-wrapped one, see. I was so excited, thinking that 'At last! I've got a good present!' But you know what?! Once I unwrapped the wrapper, there's another wrapper and another and another .... It took - more or less - fifteen minutes for me to discover the present. And it was .... a small package of peanuts!!! GRRR!!! I wished I had known who the sender was!

[Teahouse Keeper]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I love the person who gave you that peanuts present Pippichan!!! It's definitely someone who knows you Excellent X'mas present!!!

Hahahaa....yeah, I knew you'd laugh about my fall These days, I walk more carefully and always tend to look at the ground

Hahaha!! So Shoe, the guys at your school love Sailor Moon too?! Well then, what are they making fun of you for? It's great you don't have to hide your feelings for the anime anymore Now, you can watch it with your friends.

Oh, so you're South American, not Australian.....I see. Which part of South America are you from? Why is your Australian family racist towards Asians? Did something happen to them somewhere?

*frowns* Yeah, it was quite shocking to hear that your folks are racist towards Asians. It's really a pity because considering Japan alone, your folks are missing out on all the good stuff I suppose they don't eat Sushi? Don't use Japanese brands for their equipment?

Yeah, I agree with Pippichan that it's great you're standing up for your own beliefs. It's great you've Asian friends. You should be proud of yourself, Shoe. I'm proud of you

I think changing racist attitudes is very difficult unless something really drastic happens. Maybe even if an Asian person rescues them from death, they will still keep their racist beliefs.

Believe in yourself, Shoe. It doesn't matter that your folks are the way they are. It's great that you were born and we're happy to know you

[Shoe]

Actually, my whole family is South American... i was born in Australia... along with my 2 sisters.. we were the only ones in our family that were born here in Aussie and it's us that aren't the racist ones. My family is from Chile. It's not just my family thats racist towards Asians, if you go to Chile, mostly everyone would call you Chinese.. and they make fun of the Asian languages.. i've heard them while i've been there, thats why i hate going back to that country. Last time i went i had a terrible time. That was last year for chirstmas. My mum also thinks i shouldn't go back. Good thing she understands me now..

About my friends... i made them like Sailor Moon, they never liked it because they repeated too much of it on normal tv, but in cable, they went on to the later episodes,.. i had them taped and let my friends watch it.. and they liked it.. but now the "Sailor moon era" is kinda over, we are in the "Initial D era" lol




Another thing i wish i weren't alive is..... my shyness....... i hate it so much.. because of it.. i've missed out on great opporunities.. Like this one time.. I really liked this girl.. i didn't have the guts to go up to her, so my friend called her over and told her that i had something to say.. so she looked at me and waited.. but i never said anything. She then walked away and went home (this was after school by the way). Well.. thats all i remember....

[pippichan]

Well, I don't have to go to Chile if I want to be mocked as 'Chinese'. Here, I've been enduring it all my life time. It's tougher when I was little but now, I just take it easy.

Oh, The Shoe is a shy guy? I don't think you're shy here. ;D Hm... in order to cure shyness, I think you should practice more to speak in front of public.

There were times in my childhood when I was shy. But now I'm quite shameless!

Em... what's my next misfortune .... em.... Ah, I'll post it when I remember! ;D

Walking with your eyes at the ground, teahouse keeper? The next thing happen to you will be "Hi, tree, meet my head!"

[iwakami]

One that makes me wish I werent alive is an empty feeling.

Cant really explain it.....but its between frustration, anger, sadness, happyness.........
Your face will be blank, your head, stomach,....everything hurts. And you try and make yourself laugh but it doesnt work..........

Those feelings make you wish you werent alive....


rhein...(i think it was you) Nah, no one laughed at me while I was walking home with the bird shit on my head.........At least no one that I know of.....OH! Yeah my sister laughed.........I ended up getting home in 15 minutes instead of 30 and she got home after me.....I didnt feel like being around her.....................yeah.

[pippichan]

Hahaha.... iwakami, it was me who asked that question.

Empty feeling ... hm... that happens to me too. Em... what about confusion, iwakami? Have you ever felt that somehow you can't define what's exactly you want with your life?

I guess I'm desperate to find something more before my life's over. But what is it that I'm longing to find? Seems I can't figure it out.

[rhein]

hmm... racist, huh? yeah, like pippie, i also got lots of bad experiences regarding that too in my life. but i've seen such bad things from both sides.

once i was on my bike w/ a friend of mine who's chinesse but not look like one. we went through an alley. it's full of native ppl. my friend got through there easily, got no harrassment. me? well... i had to speed up my bike to avoid not only their annoying harrassing remarks... but also... their harrassing hands... fortunately i wasn't mature yet at that time. otherwise...
i got out of there alright. but i tend to avoid such places now. i'm mature now and my very fair complexion makes it worse. *shaking head* but sometimes, some of them are confused, am i chinesse or western, ha... ha... ha...

but i can't hate all native ppl here though it's not the only bad experience that i got regarding discrimination and racism. i know that not all native ppl here are bad. some of them are very nice. i got a very nice native best friend. she and her family are kind and nice to me. and i've seen discrimination done by my relative to their native servant and her daughter when i spent holiday there. it's awful. i tried to stop it but i couldn't. i still feel bad abt it. luckily the servant and the daughter know that i am not like those racist relative of mine. so they know not all chinesse ppl there are bad. the daughter even asked me to remain the same. "rhein, you're nice, don't change, ok. don't be like them", she said when she told me abt their decision to leave the house the next day. then she hug me. they asked me to keep it as a secret. stealthily, very early in the morning, they left. they only said goodbye to me. i don't know what has become of her now. hope they're ok. she said her mom was going to find a job out of island.

well, such attitude is very hard to change. so the shoe, i can only ask you to remain the same. don't change and be like them. you know better than that. and lets hope someday your racist family can understand and know better.

ah, yeah, iwakami, i felt that too lots of the time. do you also feel occupied by loneliness? doubting yourself? such feeling can only ceased when i'm occupied w/ other things like listening to music, reading, singing. what do you do when you feel that way?

btw, have you payback your sisters? ;D my suggestion's too annoying perhaps? to stuck all your sisters crap under their bed? ;D

[pippichan]

Hm... how about this? Finding a dead insect - and it's big - in your meal? YAIKK!!!

Happened to me just this morning when I ate my breakfast. A good way to start my day!

[Teahouse Keeper]

Heeheeheee.....Pippichan found an insect in her meal. What insect? I guess the meal must have been from some unhygenic seller? Or did the insect just drop into the soup?? Hahaha...Why did it happen to you?? Must be because you were thinking of me banging into a tree with my eyes on the ground

Gosh, I didn't know you guys had so many troubles Personal ones as well as with people around you who are racists. I didn't know you guys had such a difficult time in real life You guys are really strong.

I wonder why people are racist towards Asians.....

I guess we all want to find a certain path in our life. We feel a sense of loneliness or emptiness in our lives. I think it's a feeling that many people around the world share in this modern age. It's a sense of being without direction, meaning and purpose. It affects many young people of the modern generation. Some time back, some Japanese anime producers came to discuss anime and they said that Japanese children don't know what to do or where to go with their lives. The producers hoped that their anime will encourage and help these kids.

I don't know what's the cure for those empty, confused and lost feelings we feel. If I did, I would bottle it and sell

Ah, Shoe, so you're Australian. I see. I didn't know Chileans are racists. Strange that they should feel that way towards Asians.

So you "trained" your friends to like Sailor Moon and now you're all in the Initial D era

Your shyness will probably go away as you grow older, Shoe You're still very young and there'll be many more opportunities for meeting girls. So, don't blame yourself too much

Ah....Rhein, you've very fair complexion?? Like snow? Yeah, it's quite sad about the servant and her daughter. Luckily they met you. Even though you couldn't help them, I'm sure their hearts were still warmed by your friendship and kindness.

[Shoe]

hehe, thanks to all for.. "cheering me up". haha. I feel much better.

Oh yeh.. another thing, it was on the 24th of december 2004 (Christmas Eve) at 11:30pm.. My whole family except me went outside to celebrate x-mas by popping those party poppers and lighting those sparkle stars things. I told my mum "It's not x-mas yet, besides.. you might wake up the neibourhood and it's embarassing" and my mum said "ok, fine. you stay here and get bored", so i said "fine". Everyone was outside.. and started annoying me...... on purpose.. because they were right outside my window and my grandma singing REALLY loud like if she was drunk. It was both embarrassing and funny at the same time. Then they come in saying they went over around the neibourhood when they were only outside my window.

oh well, it was kinda funny.

[pippichan]

Well, teahouse keeper, the meal happened to be from a pretty respectable restaurant. Hm... I think I'm gonna sue them... ;D Ah, it's got nothing to do with me thinking of you banging your head to a tree. Truth is, that thought cheered me up when I was upset after finding the insect!

I suppose you've never encountered problems like ours in life? Hm... you're a lucky person.

[pippichan]

*frowning* I never thought that mice - or should I say rats? - in my house are actually kinda fond of chewing dustfeather and furred doll. I only knew this earlier that one of my teddy bears had been ripped inside out by those annoying rodents! Oh, poor teddy!

Woow ... someone's playing 'Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy' by Tata Young!?? *about to look up to see* Eh, why stopping it??!

[rhein]

it's stopped coz you're trying to see who played it. ;D

well, teahouse keeper, it's always difficult to be different. when you're around those ppl who are racist when you're not from the same race. going against the wind blow is hard as you'll get a very hard blow each and every time you try.

i think what everyone wants in life is sincere love and understanding. but sincerity has lost it's meaning lately. lots of hypocrite ppl. but anime's always cheering. ;D

[pippichan]

Yeah, going against the wind blow is hard. But always going where the wind blows ... *shaking head* it's not for me. All my life I've been taking the harder path and... I still don't know what I'm really fighting for here. But giving up isn't an option either for me.

*nod* Being different isn't easy. I remember when I was little, everywhere I went there were always people mocking me 'chinese' or making some awful - sometimes envious - remarks about my appearance. There were times when I really wished I hadn't had fair skin and slanted eyes. That I would trade anything just to have darker skin and bigger eyes. Haah... I really like to go to some place where racism doesn't exist.

Sincerity has lost its meaning .... hm... sounds like something from Darren's song, eh, rhein?

[iwakami]

being sick, in your pajamas and have visitors over and they are in your room while you are in the computer room.
