Whiners Unite

[M!$H]

I owe you all an explanation for my absence. :S

I haven't been posting as much as I usually do and while it's partly due to my schoolwork taking up most of my time (combined with cleaning and maining my tiny little dorn room), there have also been some other factors which I feel like whining about.

So feel free to whine in this thread about pretty much anything because I'm going to whine right now HARDCORE.

1. I'm sick. I've been sick for almost two and a half months now. I had a cold for three weeks. Started getting better. Got another cold. Then I got a UTI. Then I got another cold. Now I HAVE ANOTHER UTI. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SHOOT ME? I'm tired of taking pain medication for my UTI and peeing bright orange!! Have you ever peed bright orange?? It's disturbing!!
2. My sister had an incident the other night. She sent me an IM on MSN and was like "i'm home alone, i can't move my neck, shoulders, or head. brian won't answer his phone. what should I do?"I told her to call 911 but did she listen to me?? Nooooo. She drove herself to the hospital! Drove herself...COULDN'T MOVE HER NECK, SHOULDERS, OR HEAD. Now she's in a neck brace because apparently she was having severe muscle spasms due to stress and migraines.
3. I've become obsessed with Disneyland. OK not a whine, but seriously, it's getting bad.
4. I HATE SCHOOL.







Now it's your turn. Whine. Whine until you can't whine anymore. I feel better now. Much better.


OH and I have a paper cut on the like webbing (?) between my thumb and finger on my left hand. And my shoulder itches really bad. And I have a cut on the palm of my right hand where I was trying to put an oversized push pin into the wall of my closet, but because the wood is so damn laquered, it's like trying to push a pin through a rock. So the pushpin broke and oversized pin stabbed into my hand. I screamed like you would not believe.





Life sucks right now, seriously.

Awww well that's crummy:( Sorry you have been sick. Sucks to be sick.


hmmmm my only two whines are:
1. Lost the filling in my front tooth so I look like I fel off a turnip truck AND I have to go to the dentist

2. I am a corporate slave

[M!$H]

lol turnip truck.

Since they say misery loves company, I thought I'd chime in here. (Kathy steps up to the mike stand, head bowed, wiping a tear on her sleeve, violins playing in the background. She pauses for a brief moment and begins to speak)

"Friends here at P&V central. I have a confession. While I am very happy for those across the ocean lucky enough to be seeing the Sex Pistols live at this historic time, whilst the band celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release of NMTB, I cannot help but feel a little melancholy and a whole lot sorry for myself as I will once again be missing out on seeing the band who has meant so much to me since 1977.

You see, it was about this time, 30 years ago, that I as a young lass, having seen this amazing foursome in a fan magazine, marched over to the local record store and ordered that lovely pink and green album in return for a pile of dimes, quarters, and wrinkled dollars - yes, my hard-earned babysitting money.

After waiting what seemed to be an eternity, the album finally arrived, was smuggled in and out of my home to my friend, Gina's house, where we played it to our heart's content on a turntable in her basement. Then I almost had a heart attack upon finding out my mother threw out my small collection of magazines bearing photographs of the Pistols, as my heroes were deemed inappropriate for our conservative household by our family's matriarch. Thank God in heaven she missed the motherload, my album, which had been stashed away in the family stereo console.

Shortly thereafter, yours truly heard the joyful rumor: THE SEX PISTOLS WERE COMING TO AMERICA!!! Oh my heart leaped for joy!!!!!!! I knew somehow, someway I'd make my way to New York or Boston to see them. Who knew, they might even play Philadelphia! Then I learned the rest of the story - uhhh, they're only playing down South! (thud) WHAT THE???HUH??? COME AGAIN??? In a million years, I couldn't imagine the Sex Pistols coming to the U.S. and skipping all the major venues up north in favor of playing the deep South. Whose brilliant idea was this???

Well, that's not where it ended. On noooo. The record store owner tells me something like, don't worry about it kid, the South is just the first leg of the tour. They're going to add shows up north during the SECOND LEG OF THE U.S. TOUR.

And here I am, 30 years later, waiting for that damned second leg of the U.S. tour. Oh I know they played the U.S. since '77, but in every case, they were just too far, or cirumstances in my life made it impossible to attend, etc. Bottom line is the same result: I never got to see them.

Last week, when I watched John & the guys, great as ever, ;Dplaying "Anarchy in the U.K." on TV, I told myself I'd surely lose my mind if I ever had the chance to see them play that song live after all this time.

Sure, there's been rumors of a U.S. tour in '08, and I've gotten my hopes up, but nothing. It's like, deja vu, haven't I heard rumors that the Pistols will play here only to be disappointed??? I'm starting to think that I will never ever get a chance to see them play live. The way I feel now, I figure with my luck, they'll announce some gigs in the area, and then cancel, or break up again like they did in '78, etc., etc.

This is just more than I can take! It's unfair I tell you, unfair!!!!!! "

I don't know Snoogs about that U.S. tour.

I've gotten my hopes up recently with all the rumors about them extending the Holidays tour into the U.S.

Here we're well into November, and still nothing about them staying together after the current upcoming shows in Brixton etc...

So call me a doubting Thomas. But based on all my past let-downs, until I find myself at a venue in the same location with the guys, I'll believe it when I see it!!!!

Okay this is not a whine but a question. Your album was pink and green? I ordered the re-release and it is yellow and pink but I have a beaten up copy that I found at a thrift store that is pink and green. always wondered about the color difference. Oh and I got my front tooth fixed. I am no longer sporting the "Jerry Springer Trailer Trash" look!

[M!$H]

lol trailer trash!!! have you ever heard the song "White Trash Beautiful" by Everlast?

"White trash beautiful...trailer park queen..."

SUCH A GOOD SONG

It's pink and green for sure - also has a sticker with "submission" on the back.

Congrats on the dental work (trailer trash LOL!!!)
