Also, the way I type is the way I talk, but for some reason it just never comes across in person. I could say "Listen housemate, your incessant morning chatter is making me want to stab you to death, I need to work and I can't get shit done with your mouth running with constant nonsense; can you shut the fuck up and leave me alone?" and I swear to god she would just giggle and make a joke about how she's driving me to murder, go away for five minutes, and then come back and do it some more. And then if I say "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" she'll go "OH I forgot!" and skip away. And then come back and do it again the next time a thought pops into her head.

I think it's something about the delivery. I can't seem to get enough MEAN into my voice.

What is the deal with people who can't seem to grasp the difference between TALKING and WRITING, or between LISTENING and READING? Between SOUNDS and LETTERS ON A SCREEN? Are these concepts really that hard to distinguish between?

By "voice" I am talking about the sounds produced by my vocal cords, not the style embedded in my writing.

Something needs to be done about the 30-second wait between posts. It gets me almost every time.

I'm not in pain, and I can't drink in the mornings because it gives me a headache and makes me sleepy.

No, it's the equivalent to a 6th-grader calling another 6th-grader ugly.

I can sorta Dig what Tiki is saying , when im focused on doing some thing I try to make the rest of the world go AWAY so I can consentrate ,
when im formating a ticket at work ( printer ticket) ,
and you are setting the bumpers , I told YOU to set the bumpers because I KNOW you can handle it and leave me alone to concentrate on landing the data in the fields on the ticket and adjusting them so they do,
I should not need to go get you the tools to do this , you SHOULD have the tools your self ,
I should not need to tell you the gap distance to set , its on the prints or on the sticker that is RIGHT FUCKING THERE ( On the bumper)

So ya I can sorta See where Tiki is comeing from .










Touches Tikis Ass !!

Maybe Nirvana has terrible PMS and assumes that everyone else does too. Who knows.

Well I just read about 50 posts in this thread and all I have to say is.

1) Tony has earned even MORE respect from me.
2) Shawnee HAS been out crazied
3) Flint has some serious depth and
4) STFU Tiki

I wonder if she would still consider you a friend after the fucking crap you posted here about her.

That is all.

Not fair. We all of us clash from time to time with friends, especially, if they are housemates. There must be a place to vent without hurting them. Why the fuck shouldn't Tiki talk about her here? It doesn't reflect badly on their friendship at all. When I lived with my mum after J and I split, she drove me to distraction. I am a very solitary person and I don't do chit chat unless I am 'socialising'. When it got too much I would rant about her to my best friend. I was being unfair about her in some ways, but not in others. I was likely as frustrating to be around, if not more so. My spouting annoyance about Ma didnt mean I'd changed how I felt about her. It's just offloading.

Tiki: clearly the only way for you to deal with this is, as you said, find a more concrete way of marking out your silent space. A room with a lockable door seems a bloody good idea. Might I also suggest that when she shouts something from another room, you just ignore it. If it truly is important, she'll surely come find you in the office. If it's just more random stuff she's not so likely to make a journey to say it ( I assume?).


[eta} went back and edited this staright after posting. Part of it had been rendered obsolete. I hadn't read the last 2 pages and was unaware that peace had broken out.
