:wall: OK, so I'm running late for my first job this morning because problemfriend#1 calls to tell me she thinks the police have gotten bored with peeping in her windows and have cut the wires to her air conditioner and it's going to hit 100 degrees f today. Then my car breaks down on the way to work. I reschedule my job (that's a long story but I'll skip it), get the car in the shop and borrow my mother's spare car. Then I go to see pf#1 and see the lines to the air conditioner have clearly been chewed by her 4 dogs. I also see the window the police have been peeping into is at least 11 feet off the ground. Then problemfriend#2 calls, he is in a rest home recovering from back surgery. He wants me to come and get his bank card and take out cash to pay his overdue phone bill. So I go to pay the phone bill and all their computers are down and also the bill is $25. more than he had me withdraw money. I get a mystery call which I can't answer because I'm out of minutes because pf#1 and pf#2 keep calling me to either do favors for them or listen to their delusions. I just wanted to get this written down because if I don't I'm afraid my brain is going to start leaking out of my ears. Back to work. :evil:


It sounds like you spend all your time running around after people. Your time is important, especially if you need to go to work. Perhaps tell these friends you will help when you have some spare time.


I actually do that but after a bit of time they start in again. The thing is both of these people genuinely need help. I am happy to help them I just don't understand why I'm the only person he can trust with his bank card and why I'm the only friend the other one has. This is a problem when everything piles up at once. I can handle a little bit at a time but I can't handle the car breaking down plus taking care of two people's issues plus work. I really wish I could cry. It would make me feel better. But I can't.

I think one thing you said is important- "piling up". It is like these people's problems and helping them are being concertinaed into a small space of time that they dont fit in to. If you help them, they should wait until you have the time. And they should also try and get others to help too, it is not fair if it falls on you all the time.

Is it really the worst film remake ever?
Well I'll NEVER find out at this rate if this stuuupid thing downloads any slower, I started at 8 this morning, it is nearly half 2 in the afternoon and it's only 62% loaded!


Is it a torrent? Torrents piss me off.


Yep it's a torrent. When I downloaded the film last night the sound didn't even work, it was completely silent. So I've downloaded another file of the same film and this one is just extremely slow.
Are there any other file types you download films with? Or are they all torrents.


Torrents just suck in general, I've quit downloading from them altogether really ever since I had issues back when I was still back with AOHell (AOL), it would just take literally 5 days just to get a film and a day sometimes just to get music, so I stopped since then.


It's also extremely easy for the copyright police to track you that way. Using HTTP downloads makes tracing everyone who downloaded a file near impossible, unless they decide to raid the site and go through IP logs on the servers, and even then the server would need to be configured to keep long term IP logs, and your IP would need to not change before the details are obtained from courts.

Long story short, streaming and download sites are a lot safer than BitTorrent.

However, BitTorrent was created by an Aspie, so don't diss it :wink:


I knew that. :lol: Good thing I actually stopped using programs like BitTorrent, LimeWire and all that, I'm surprised nothing has ever happened apart from actually getting capped a few times, but that never really harmed me anyways.

I totally agree with you with the streaming and download sites, that's why I started using that method instead of actually using the things like BitTorrent even though now it would literally take me about less than a minute just to download a 500MB movie clip, might be faster on BitTorrent.

But Sky Broadband are really picky and they would just instantly cap you just for downloading stuff and I rather avoid the nightmares tbh, but I also actually buy some of the albums and songs through iTunes if the songs are awesome, only 79p for a song, sometimes 99p if its top quality and listen to them on my iPod Touch.

Aspies rock when it comes to inventions, even a aspie created Windows, even facebook, I must actually give some credits there.

(Or did I get it mixed up?)

Some people on Facebook were trading stories about John,a deceased mutual friend on Facebook. She said they were in a diner together and the waitress said something very rude to John and then said " I hope you don't take offense.". John said, "Madam, I have no use for your fence." RIP John. :)

Every time I have a genuinely good time somewhere, I always get really sad for ages after it's over. :(

I want to go back to last week.

I think that it's time for me, to take a bath. I'll be back, in half an hour.

I watched The Butterfly Effect again. I like that movie.
