Someone tried to convert me to Islam today.
That same person said they were part of the Taliban and that they'd burn the Isreal flag we have in our cafeteria (we have a bunch of flags for different nations). So, I'm not really impressed with Islam right now.

He is not a good representative of the religion. He's just an idiot.

Yeah, I know  I've met a lot of nice Muslims, of course. A large portion of my school is Muslim students, so if they were all like that it'd be Hell. |

We have a copy of Zone of the Enders 2 in the store, complete... except that it sat in the sun for what seems to be years and the cover is completely bleached out and my OCDness won't let me get over that fact

If you buy it I'll buy it from you. Can you buy things, as an employee I mean? I don't care if it is sun bleached, I REALLY want that game  |

I've had bad experiences buying things for people. Sorry. :<
It's not THAT rare, though. You could search your local EB's website.

Right now, inconsiderate parents. Not mines, but others. Every weekend me and my uncle try to got to our local swap meet to make some extra cash; selling video games, collectibles, and DVDs. At around 7 o'clock in the morning I always over hear a kid asking for something small or to at least stop and look at a stall. And their always quite a few parents who simply ignore the kid or vehemently say no. That is so frickin' rude, if you bother to wake up a kid at 6:00 PM, on a weekend of all days and drag them out so that you can go shopping the least you can do is let them have a look around and let them buy something.
Also, because this just happened today, our neighbors invited us to go sleepover, they did extra work because they where grounded and finally got the parents to say yes. We go over have a helluva fun night and in the morning we're going to dual. As soon as we're setting up the father steps in and asks that he needs them for the first half of the day. They worked hard so that we could sleep over and have fun together playing video games and now your going throw that all away because you feel they could be better used today working for you? Pfft, whatever.
Finally, because this also happened today. My brother and me took our Xbox 360 over to their house, because their red ringed recently. We also brought a few games including Wet which my brother borrowed from his friend. We didn't even play it last night, and today when we open the case, it's gone. Sad thing is, this isn't the first time this has happened. My brothers brand new copy of Saint's Row 2 disappeared in the exact same manner. And I'm almost positive that it was my neighbor's sister's boyfriend considering he's the only one that had the opportunity, and most games seem to disappear as soon as he heads back to his house. What's more jacked, oh yes there's more, their f#*kin' parents treat us like thieves. They won't let us borrow any games, took us like an entire month to finally borrow L4D. And they lost my originality PS2 copy of MvC2. I'm so effing pissed right now, if I had heat vision their house would be in flames, (ironic considering their house burned down earlier this year and they just moved back in).

Whoo, that's nuts...
Like, that's a hell of a lot of shit, all that'd piss me off.
I can really relate to the kids in the first paragraph, like, it sucks. I mean, c'mon, I bet more the time my mom could spare some change to let me get a 4.99 game.

Y'know what pisses me off?
My father has been promising me money for months. He keeps putting it off and off and off, and I just learned that he got the money from his own dad and spent it on himself. What the fuck, Dad? Seriously, I've been waiting since early this year for this cash, what kind of reliability is that? And you want me to call you, making up sob stories that are supposed to guilt me into it? Yeah, fuck that, I'll call you when you stop making promises you can't keep. I wish I could say to him "you're a shameless failure, y'know that?"
That'd make him fucking happy.

That's not cool dude, he's your father. Get a job. Covering for him and your family will make you feel awesome.
EDIT: On the subject of a-hole parents of other people, there's this guy I used to hang out with who's dad is the stuff of my goddamn nightmares. I dunno how he does it, he's probably used to it, I mean for starters the guy has like ADD and went to a 'special' school. But he's a pretty good artist and their family is loaded as fuck b/c he has EVERYTHING except a Wii and that's b/c he doesn't feel like getting one. Anyway me and a bunch of dudes went to this guy's house to kill each other on Halo it was a Saturday night, fun was being had until the guy's dad walks in and FUCKING KICKS US OUT, totally humiliating our host AND FORCED HIM TO DO HIS HOMEWORK FROM ART SCHOOL. Like I said I dunno how the guy puts up with it and I dunno what you guys think, but that pissed me the Hell off, I swore to never go back to that place. Before leaving, the guy starts apologizing and bitching about how they're Evangelical and his parents would rather see him hanging around the biblethumpers like his siblings.
I dunno I just come from a different family. And when that happened, I had a fuckton of negative shit on my mind.

He doesn't live with us, so I don't think I need to "cover for him". He doesn't really deserve my love, the only thing that's worth showing him love for is for him to get me stuff, and he isn't even reliable on that.
He should quit being such a junkie and get a life.

Parent≠Respect
If a person is a terrible person, they are still a terrible person even if they are a parent. I had pretty terrible parents growing up (not the worse but far from good). I've had people tell me I should respect my parents more but I feel they have to earn it and for the most part they haven't done anything to do so.

See, I agree with Brand. I respect my mother, my stepfather, my grandparents on my mother's side, my uncles, my aunts, but they all earned it. They all worked hard to help me through difficulties, and they all showed me their love without abuse.
So, I respect them, and love them, and help them as well.
It's pretty simple.

Actually, you know what really pisses me off?
Colds.
The headaches, stuffiness, and general "not good" feeling pisses me off to no end - when I'm not so sick I'm unable to think coherently, that is.
I think I'm going to lie down.
