Hello everyopony! I only here for a little while, then I have to go to eisteddfod for choir. but for now what is everypony doing?
Got the Strict Parent Blues. I need a Pinkie Pie. That was the cutest think I have ever seen, I think.
Hey legion, don't worry, I have that as well, I know your pain, the past few days though I've been too busy to notice it, but I do know how you feel. If you want to talk about it or let off some steam I'm here for you
Thanks, Simon. If anypony wants to know, though, I probably will not be very active during the summer if my parents hold to their threat, which they usually do.
It's going alright. Today's my last day of work before a day off (hooray), and it's supposed to be cooler than it has been. I'm also going to work with a Rainbow Dash cutie mark polo shirt, with a Derpy polo shirt as a back up should I get wet from the rain. Oh, and my RD cutie and Derpy baseball hats as well. How about you? I read fro your posts yesterday that your mother seems to recognize your troubles and has let up on you. That's great news!
Oh, I know how that feels. My parents can be very strict....although usually it's through my fault. :/
What threat? I hope this doesn't involve the removal of your pc or internet D: I wouldn't survive Tell me about it I might be able to give you advice @Yami, yeah she eventually realised how much pressure I was already going through, so she stopped piling more on. I however am not allowed to play pc games or chat to friends until all homework and studying is done, makes sense, but I don't see myself surviving five more weeks of this, I'll have to try though
Is there any way to move .gif images to another location in Windows 7? When I try, they stop being animated and are stuck on just the first frame.
Unfortunately, you hit it right on the head. And the worst part is that I didn't actually do anything that was strictly wrong. Sometimes I wonder how I can even live with them, even though that's the stereotypical teen that I like to imagine that I'm not. If you guys want the whole story, here it is. Spoiler: The whole stupid story Well, yesterday I was having a relatively normal/good day. I got home from school, took a shower, and then immediately went into the porch room to relax. I was there for a little while, and then came out and had dinner. All relatively normal. So then, I got on the computer and went...well, here. I was on here for about half an hour, and was typing up a post for a roleplay when my brother said he wanted to get onto Facebook. I said give me a few minutes, I need to finish this post. He got all angry, because he thought it would take a really long time, so he kept bugging me. This destroyed my concentration, which meant it DID take longer than that. Well, meanehile, my parents were in the living room listening to the whole thing. I swear, I kept my voice cool and didn't yell once, unlike my brother, but we both got called into the Living Room anyways. My dad wanted to know why I had started a big fight. (yes, I started the "big fight". This is also normal, I feel like I am the scapegoat for most of my family's problems.) I told him that my brother wanted to get on, and that I was just trying to finish a post before getting off. He asked me what right I had to do that, when I had already been on for half an hour and my brother had not been on at all. At this, I was completely bowled over. Apparently, there is no flexibility when someone else wants the computer. Unless, of course, I was the one who wanted to use it. Because my dad himself usually wants time to finish what he's up to when I ask him if I may use the computer while he's on it. I asked him if there was no flexibility in this, and he said that no, there wasn't, not when I had already been on for "my share of the time". Apparently I am also only allowed half an hour on the computer each day, while my mom plays Words with Friends on Facebook for hours. Finally, I just gave up trying to prove any sort of point or even communicate at all with my dad, because he is always right and I am always wrong when he is giving me a lecture, and any sort of objection to his decisions at all is seen as insolent and disrespectful. And maybe it is, but my personal rule of thumb is to generally give what respect I get. I can honestly say that my dad does not respect me at all, because he believes that I am a complete fool and cannot make any wise decisions at all. He thinks that if I were to get a job, I would lose it immediately. So anyways, I gave up trying to talk intelligently and just nodded and said "Mm-hmm" while he said how addicted I am to computers and how lazy I was and how all I did was disrespect my parents and siblings. Finally, he sensed that I wasn't actually listening (I was, but it was mostly horse apples), and said that he was going to delete my account on the computer and change the passwords to all the other ones, so that none of the kids in our household could get on it at all. Hopefully you can understand how I feel right now.
wait...writing? Well the only advice I can think of here, is unfortunately as much as you may not want to, I think you might have to do what your parents say here, I wouldn't want my pc taken away. I'm not sure what the full reason is but what ever it is I suggest you obey them, I know it is hard as at this age we become naturally rebellious, I had a hard time doing what my parents wanted me to do, I dot disciplined quite a few times. Then I realised that it was getting me nowhere so I did what they asked, it was hard and I didn't like it but it made my life easier, it meant less time on my pc but it was better than no pc at all. I hope I helped *hugs* @Yami, I don't know sorry, it doesn't happen with me, by moving you mean Ctrl x, ctrl V Right?
I may have been mistaken in a dumb way. Well, the problem solved itself anyway. :derpe: From now on, I'll be using Dropbox so this annoying bandwidth problem I have with Photobucket doesn't happen anymore. But now, I must go to work. Sorry Legion, I'll have to read that when I have time at work. Bye all!
oh my...I had no idea how bad it was, I am REALLY sorry you have to go through that, I CAN however address the problem, I'll post it as soon as I'm done getting changed Spoiler: My solution Ok I think what need to happen is that the only way this solution can work is if it is discussed in a calm manner, you should one day bring it up at dinnertime, that is when everyone is together, You say "Guys, we need to talk" My idea is that you calmly discuss with them a way for there to be no conflict over the pc, my solution is a time table, everyone gets a certain time period in which they may use the pc, maybe 45 mins each. You and your brother cannot use the pc until your homework is done, then you have time period, your brother uses the pc for 45 mins, then you use it for 45 mins then mom, then dad. Then Dinner etc. OR you can put a maximum of 30 mins of pc usage at a time, this applies to everyone. This might be hard to bring up, but it could work, it would also show your family that you can address a problem and solve it, maybe giving your dad more respect for you as well. It is important that it is discussed calmly, if someone raises their voice at you, don't raise it back, also try to look like you are listening to each of their opinions, even if they are speaking horseapples. It could work, I hope I helped I have to go now.
Lol, afterwards I cheered myself up by noting that intead of storming to my room and listening to heavy metal at full volume while moping on my bed, I calmly walked to my room with fury seething underneath, and listened to orchestra music at full volume while doing my math homework. xD You can see exactly where I differ from the stereotypical teen and where I remain similar.
