I feel like a fool right now. Yesterday afternoon, (thanks to getting a waiver from my teacher about a month ago that gave us 2 free tickets to any show in the 2014/2015 season of a certain theater in my state's capital), my dad took me to see "Addams Family Musical" on stage, and of course while there were some parts cut out, (it was a fine theater but obviously not Broadway but fine by me), it was...breathtakingly bone-chilling. They even gave a reference to the original series if not the two live-action films starring Raul Julia as Gomez and Christopher Lloyd as Fester by, at the start of 1st act, the maestro using one of his hands on a board in front of the audience, (between the audience and pit), to impersonate Thing, (the disembodied hand), and at the start of the 2nd, someone else used I think a wig, hat, and shades to represent Cousin Itt. (Think a midget with a REALLY big long hair wig surrounding him completely and he doesn't talk normally). But anyway, the reason I feel like a fool is that, while singing the songs in the shower to myself, (I usually sing in the shower and get distracted cause I love music), I thought to myself maybe I could try auditioning for Addams Family Musical since I remembered the same theater I did Christmas Carol at was doing it this year, in June, BUT just a few moments ago, I realized that auditions for it...were last month. (I would've gone for the role of Lucas since I'm too young for Gomez obviously), and I mistook the audition date of AFM for another musical, (Grease which I wouldn't mind being in), at a different theater. Realizing this made me also realize that around the time of the auditions, when I should've mentioned it or insisted on going, I was too focused on other things. (I can't exactly name them honestly). I just feel like a fool in short, cause I think I missed a grand opportunity. (Granted I took an opportunity to audition for Sweeney Todd as I mentioned but that failed, as did my attempt at auditioning for the school's AFM, but still.) Heck, apparently the guy who played Fester Addams at the performance has been in some musicals at this nearby theater. The last play of the season is a 'musical' about Patsy Cline, and this one friendship she had with another woman, starring some of her songs such as the only one I know, "Crazy". Even though next season, I'll be in college for the first time, I've GOT to remember to audition for any musicals or plays that have an age range that'll fit me. (I once tried to audition for a play there that was based on a story by Agatha Christie, so of course I didn't get a role). P.S. I got pictures with Gomez & Morticia Addams, Lucas & Wednesday, and Uncle Fester but unfortunately not Lurch nor this guy who played a dancing ancestor or 'dancestor' dressed in a WW1/1920's military outfit.

That's pretty cool, Lupus, I've never been to any musical's, I was suppose to be in a third play that was due at our Church when I lived in the Southern part of Mobile, but missed out since I was sick, I'm still curious on what role I was going to be in, I know it wasn't Jesus Christ himself but I'm still curious, I could've been one of the Romans or one of Jesus' Disciples, I don't know.
But that's pretty awesome that you got a picture with the Addams Family, sorry you couldn't get a picture with Lurch though, that would have been cool to have.
Do you have an idea of a character you would want to audition for in the Addams Family Musical?

Preferably Gomez, but at my age, Lucas Weineke, (who Wednesday falls in love with ).

If you're wondering why I wasn't on today or yesterday, or perhaps the day before that:
Saturday: playing lots of Fallout 3 Sunday: Went to the movies with my dad and spent some time at his house...then came back and played Fallout 3. Monday: multiple appointments....and FO3. (That game is fun and addictive imo.)
Tuesday and Wednesday however will not involve Exploration of Bethesda's nuclear plains, but instead I will actually be going to the beach.
I did try getting on Skype on Monday but it wasn't working even at sign in so I got on Fallout.

I've noticed you haven't been very active on this board lately, Lupus. Any updates going on with you that could explain this?

Anyone know what a f*cking lobotomy is? Cause I kinda wish I'd have one RIGHT NOW! This afternoon and evening has been MIND-numbing for two reasons. (And with a lobotomy I likely wouldn't have an anger issue...or get irritated if not stressed at all, by freakin' anything).
The first is in short I got a lot of online math homework to do by Tuesday night and just one portion of one problem has SO MANY steps to do on paper just to get one part right, (Pre-calc if you're wondering). I tried doing some earlier today after school but began to break down at the BS of the f*cking class, {the homework at least}, and my 'perfectionist', strict teacher. Even freakin' banged my head against the side of the TV stand, (don't worry it's broad and seemingly wooden and I'm not bleeding....somewhat unfortunately).
As for right now? I was busy chatting/rping with a....fellow furaffinity member, I'm just gonna say, and apparently she ENJOYS mysteries and riddles. The little brat she was using in the rp we were doing was covered in mystery it seemed, (I'm not gonna say the details), but the child was like 2.5 and she was a brat because, (apparently like the person herself), the lil' equine loved messing with others, especially adults, never giving a COMPLETE or HONEST answer it seemed. Anyway, we sort of paused the rp so we could talk about what the hay was going on, (she's a MLP fan btw and the rp was anthro but involved unicorns and so on), and I couldn't figure it out worth sh!t because she was afraid of giving too obvious an answer, giggling every now and then at the mystery of it, (me somewhat taking the giggling as teasing me for not being able to figure out something mainly only SHE knew). I finally figured it out after she gave me a few more helpful hints than saying "it's realistic" and yadda yadda yadda. Unfortunately, all that beating-around-the-bush bs between her and her character had at that point gotten on my nerves, so I stopped it for the night, (she had to go to bed anyway), though atm I kinda doubt I'll rp with her again since I said NO MORE MYSTERIES or RIDDLES but she claimed it was part of the fun.
I probably scared her off when my frustration and temper was starting to be shown, (I didn't entirely swear nor always use all caps but I'm sure, unlike her 'obvious' riddles, it was actually obvious), but frankly right now, I. DON'T. GIVE. A. d**n!
Oh and if you're wondering what the answer to the riddle or mystery about the child was, she had a fraternal, 'identical' twin brother with her, messing with Annabelle and in turn me. (I only had Annabelle endure it or not ask cause the child is 2.5 years old and Annabelle is sweet and caring, but motherly and parental). In short, when my characters weren't looking, she and the twin switched places or so on, (oh and they're rather small anyway so hence why it was so easy to switch so often).
She claimed she gave me hints but, I've told her time and again, A LOT OF STUFF FLIES OVER MY HEAD! >.<
Edit: I just know one of these days, I'm probably gonna snap and either off myself or someone else, (if it is someone I Hope to God it isn't my mother.)

...fml, (for those of you who don't know, that means F*ck my life).
I've had it with my mom lecturing me about EVERY LITTLE THING I DO Wrong. Had a bout of short temper? nag. Stayed up too late chatting with friends? Nag. FORGOT or failed to do something she asks me to do, (since my brother isn't reliable worth sh*t)? N-A-G!
I stayed up last night chatting with friends, (one of them from here), going to bed at about 2am when I needed to get up at 6am (I have a loud alarm set), to wake my brother for the bus. I woke up to his alarm and softened mine, (it was about 5:55 or so), as I got out of bed and was about to shut his off but then he woke up and turned it off. After that I think I climbed back in bed, having turned my alarm off while his was blaring, (thinking it would ring until mine went off and alarm clocks really bug me).
I wake up at 9:00 and no lie, first word I said at seeing the time was "d**n it." Cause I KNEW mom would lecture me again for yet again failing to properly wake my brother up for the bus, (he also stays up late but sometimes not to the extent I do). She did something worse, when she called to see I was awake. She said she'd have to put a security lock on the PC so I can only use it when she is at home. She won't get home until 7 or so tonight but that means I have to do ALL of my PC-based homework for the weekend tonight IMMEDIATELY after school which will leave me no time for my friends in the end.
Sure I could use my iPod but she'll probably take that away too cause...you know, it's DEFINITELY the one who actually TRIES to succeed and feels bad when they fail that should be punished or lectured and scorned; NOT the ignorant, lazy, greedy, stubborn, worthless piece of sh*t son who gets spoiled just about every which way.
I could probably tell her all this but she's only react with hostility; claiming that I can't get mad or agitated but SHE can or some BULLsh*t like that. She doesn't care anyway, it often feels like she never considers the POSSIBILITY that I could actually feel bad about say, getting angry, or failing to do something, (like getting off the PC in time on Thursday nights in time though even that wouldn't work).
**** HER!!!!!!
Hell in ****ing tempted to NOT go to college for once but I HAVE to so I don't miss anything or fail a class.

Trust me, I know that EXACT feeling when I'm just like, "To hell with this, to hell with that, and d**n my parents because they're why I feel this way!"
Sometimes, they just don't get it...

Hell in ******* tempted to NOT go to college for once but I HAVE to so I don't miss anything or fail a class. I feel ya bro... Also experienced that kind of bullcrap but it "mostly" disappeared. My mom lectures me the same way as yours but I think she got tired of me and decided to let me off. [Also my dad is abroad (THANK GOD!)] So it's currently a democratic system around here but when he's here, it's full dictatorship. Though I think my age also is a major factor in the sudden change of treatment. I know you heard this bullsh*t over a million times but she just wants you to go to sleep early. It's bad for the health to sleep late so yeah, that's the reason. I know it's hard to shut down your system once you're at the peak of your activities, (trust me, take it from another pc enthusiast.) but you just have to 'cause of you don't, they'll take it away in an instant. Here's the technique: just obey her for the mean time and after some time, switch back to your original schedule. (Though I don't know if this strategy will work under your circumstances.) And tell me about those responsibilities... Awggh, I hate that word. Just complete BS.

As some of you maya know, in early November we got an Xbox One and we have an Arsenal of games for it, some from 360 actually, examples including: -Dying Light -Destiny, (my brother got it yesterday) -Fallout 4 -Sniper Elite 3 -Halo 5 -Call of Duty Black Ops 3 -Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (I downloaded it yesterday onto 360 but it can play on the One)
Anyway, I'm simply asking you guys if any of you have 360's or Xbox Ones and if you'd like to join me in Destiny, Dying Light, GTA V, (360 only on that one), or other co-op games. I know Oddy has GTA V for 360 to say the least.
In other news I plan on auditioning for the local theater's performance of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", (which was originally a novel that I asked for Christmas), in February; certainly as one of the patients but not the leads.

I swear, I should definitely, (when the opportunity arrives in a satisfactory or efficient manner), move out and live with my dad...in spite of my clearly paranoid, ignorant, idiotic mother. I don't care if he drinks a little alcohol, smokes cigarettes, or even, (as she claims), still smokes pot...those are all his decisions possibly as means of keeping calm and dealing with reality, (better than snapping and pulling the cord on yourself anyway), and also...far as I know, in the past 6 months alone I think I've overall been more stressed at and by her than I've ever been at dad, who she has in the past, actually tried to blame for certain incidents that could've just as easily been her fault...if not more hers than his.
Okay, so what has got the forum's short-tempered German Shepherd irritated this time? That is, what in particular.
Where do I start? Well since I'm on an iPod, two recent details or incidents that i did but my mom's reaction...was more negative or restrictive than it was supportive regardless of her short-sighted claims. Two considerate or kind acts and at least 1 detail of either act was something I shouldn't have done...because of how people can be or how touchy and controversial the 2nd act's topic is.
The first act was something I felt like doing I think just last Friday shortly after coming home from college, (one hour cause one class on Fridays). Several of the parked cars in my apartment complex's parking lot are covered in snow. So, I just decided to go out, with a shovel, (an efficient snow-brush was in my mom's car but she was at work), and try to shovel snow away from and off of a nearby car, getting most of the right side clear and at least half off the top before getting tired, (I was out there for like an hour without realizing until I went back in). However, since I'm not one to typically shovel snow, let alone near cars, I accidentally got a few tiny scratches on the car with the "blade" of the shovel. Feeling a little...guilty about it, I left a note that in short was an apology for the accidental scratches saying I meant to clear out the snow, including my name and apt number just to be polite, (and by the looks of a bag in the backseat she worked or attended a nursing/rehab center). I told my mom and..far as I saw it, (Not just because of my Autism as she would think), she lectured me about leaving that apologetic note due to the risk of the car owner sueing me, or her, for a tiny few ACCCIDENTAL scratches simply because of how she sees the neighborhood, (my mom that is). We don't live in the city but it's closer than the previous district...and that one was OH SO PEACHY! -.- in short, she nagged me for doing a considerate or kind act, (rather than leave the owner wondering where the scratches came from), because she's paranoid about fellow humans...if she even is one.
Now, for the second one. In short, I just read an article in the paper about a Muslim-American girl who actually attended this district's high school back in the 2000's and a question she had for Trump originally at a Republican...I think caucus or debate in Des Moines, Iowa, bringing up the subject of all Muslims being degraded for the acts of militant groups or homicidal, armed but somewhat clever maniacs who claim to be religious or Islamic. She herself on her YouTube channel in a video or two has mentioned how she's been a target of...alienation or mean comments cause she is...again Muslim but she obviously is strong enough to speak up, and continue her creative works.
Anyway 2nd act I did was email her, via iPod, a message that...in short, was me supporting her and giving her my respect. When my mom saw what I was typing she..ran her mouth about how something bad could happen to us if the Feds saw what the email said and somehow take it the wrong way...even though according to the article, Jeb Bush answered her question with respect to her.
Daft/Dumb, paranoid, AND SOBER idiot. I think I'd rather take smoking, barely-tipsy, and maybe high but fine to be around instead. In other words, Dad > Mom and I've been living with mom most my life...

Jsyk, due to my brother not cooperating this morning with getting out of bed and going to school, (and fighting my older sister when she tried to take his iPod), I don't have Internet at the house anymore but obviously it won't be forever. Nor do we have the Xbox One or one of the two 360's but without the Internet, there's no point in gaming for my brother.
I've dealt with stuff like this because of his sh*t so frankly I'm fine with it.
My older sister unplugged the two units and took them while simply took the cords of I'm guessing the router and/or modem.

Oh My, it seems your Brother's Cyber Addiction is serious! o.o
Though, rather than punish everyone, for his case, why not change the Internet Password? Or, I think it is possible to program it, so the Internet cuts off, at a set time, on set devices? I know my Family did so, for some time.
Though, what Internet are you using here. If it is not the Internet of your place?

You ever get the feeling that "civilized" folks have become useless machines and ignore and shun their HUMAN traits, (anger, the human body, FICKING EMOTIONS AND THE EXPRESSION OF THEM), my mom sure as Hell ******* has.
She thinks I'm a ******* animal what with my short temper and the physical way I express it, (on inanimate objects as opposed to myself or...others). I may have Autism but now that just seems like a pathetic way of categorizing some people who actually are ******* human, (as in they express emotions, try to be generous or charitable to better degrees than just holding open a door; doing good things cause they feel like it in spite of the risks), cause it seems that now ANYTHING about me to mom is connected to "Autism". My expression of emotions, why I do poosibly-good things, and so on.
I was just getting very tense, trying to tell her reasons why I get so tense, (granted I was just playing a game trying to have fun and the game decided to instead screw with me), which actually sums up to...both the pent-up frustration I've held in all those years at Eastern and also HER ******* STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE. But since I was getting tense or "out of control", she sent me to my room...claiming I was having an Autistic meltdown; I wonder ******* WHY.She clearly has ears but doesn't listen; she claims to be a Christian but I sure as HELL don't see any tolerance, respect, or EFFORT in even TRYING to understanding me. Whenever I open my mouth she practically nags me. I might as well be ******* mute and deaf. Either that or live every remaining d**n second away from HER. My ******* dad could understand me more because, from what I've heard, and seen...he can get pretty tense as well, in an angered way.
I didn't endure nearly a decade of One sh*tty-ass district full of lazy pathetic teachers and sadistic students, just get stuck with a ******* deaf, ignorant, worthless mother.
Oh and did I mention she claims to be afraid of me yet she constantly lectures me and gets on my case about EVERYTHING, even though, despite my temper, I actually TRY to be academically successful or "GOOD"? (it's in quotations because apparently what's good to me isn't good to her....) If I didn't have pain receptors or so on, is probably be killing or hurting myself...to ACTUALLY kill myself..not just for mere attention. Why? Cause I'm gonna be stuck with this hellish ****/WITCH for YEARS!
In other news, I am...or perhaps WAS, thinking of auditioning for a part in an upcoming stage version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in case I haven't already told you. I say was because all this BS I'd just making me lose motivation or interest to do ******* anything. I try shoveling snow off of a random person's car but leave an apology nite for accidental scratches; she lectures me cause she's paranoid and ignorant. I send a support email to a girl who's talked about a certain, relatively-touchy topic regarding American society; she lectures me cause she's paranoid of some government-related group or person coming across it and showing up at the d**n door. I TRY explaining to her why I get so frustrated, she tells me to go to my room, cause apparently I'm a ******* animal...as opposed to my brother who has attempted to harm her in the past few years, whereas all I've done is yell, get tense, and tremble in frustration, holding myself back from Slamming her face or ANYONE's face into the wall/floor, or doing anything violent to them cause I actually have a ******* brain or moral compass (I just happen to swear like AVGN when I get angry). Yeah, I'm the rabid one, here; totally. >.<
Heh...if it wasn't for the Internet I'd be stuck in...pretty much the same scenario as say...the lead character in "Johnny Got His Gun"....not able to do ANYTHING nor contact anyone, but for a different specific reason

Normally, I'd say I can relate, but I can't... well, I'm the one afraid of my mother, and really... Of anyone...
But anyways... I honestly, have no idea what advice to give. However, I do know what it's like to try to do something nice out of the goodness of your heart as be penalized for it. That much, I can speak from personal experience.
I am gonna say that I hope it gets better between you and your mother one day... I truly do. Hopefully fate will smile on you once more one day; I hope fate will hurry the hell up because you don't deserve this constant family burden, alright? You deserve better, my friend.
