You know what really grinds my gears?

Hannahmation: EWWW!!! :shake: I would probably kill my brothers if one of them did that to my MacBook!!! (Which I don’t have yet, but I will get one someday.) I’m not even nice enough to let them look at stuff of mine… lol. (Ok, I’m not that mean… but you probably know what I’m talking about.) And another thing: why is it that brothers touch stuff and it leaves behind a grimy film???

What grinds my gears is when my brothers (who are 12 and 10) talk “butt talk” around their friends, and it is sooooo disgusting (not to mention immature) and they don’t shut up when my friends are around, too. Also, they barge into my room whenever they want to tell me something “funny”. (It’s usually something really lame. :unamused:)

Ahh, but you have to love brothers, no matter how annoying they may be. :stuck_out_tongue:

Boys only wash their hands when told to. Trust me. :wink:

My mouse pad. My laptop is 10 years old (not that much younger then me), with a lot of wear and tear on it, but it usually works perfectly. But lately, for some reason, sometimes it does that thing where you bring it up and it ZOOMS back in the other direction. But that’s not all, no, sometimes it works fine until I try to click on something with the button, and it zooms in some random direction. Well, I could do the thing were I just tap on the mouse pad, but what if I have to scroll down? It’s really annoying!

What I really hate right now is even though my stupid godsforsaken cell phone has a lock, it continuously calls random people, creating even more embarrassing moments in my life. I fear it may one day call 911, seriously.

But - what really weirds me out is, when I don’t answer, people don’t bother to call back. Something could’ve happened to me and … well, I know no one likes to jump to such a conclusion, but if something did happen to me, they’d be sorry for not calling back to check, or to even try and contact me about it. :stuck_out_tongue:

little_chef_eva09:Oh I know what you mean! I didn’t want to let him, but since our home computer was getting fixed, I felt I should be a good sister and let him. ha

And my brother does that ALL the time; barging in my room to tell me something. And really, it’s rarely all that funny. Well, to him it is, not to me.

Rac_Rules: That sounds like it would be annoying!

FONY: Your phone has a mind of its own! And that is weird that people don’t call back. Hopefully nothing bad ever happens to you then!

FONY, Rac_Rules, Hannahmation, & little_chef_eva09: I can see how those things can be irritating! Glitches with technology and brothers can really get on one’s nerves.

Sigh, what I’m panicking about right now is that my computer is still trying to settle down, so I might as well just unload the files little by little. But so far, the videos are unavailable- apparently they still exist, but they just won’t show. The computer probably can’t take downloads now because I’ve tried countless times today to download lost programs again and it just ignores me. Grrr…
I simply must get a DVD ripper ASAP because I only have a short while with a certain rented DVD to turn to an MV.
I don’t think I’ll make it!! freaks out inside

Sorry if it sounds like most of my issues involve music videos, but what really is getting me infuriated right now is YouTube deleting my top favorites one by one. They were some of the most awesome tributes I’ve ever seen, and the users worked hard on it, I can tell. The lip sync was almost perfect, the clips match the lyrics. It was just flawless.
And they did put a disclaimer up and did NOT make it for profit but to express fandom, and yet YouTube removes it anyway. Why? What gives? And what’s worse is one of my favorite MV makers, who loves Disney with all her heart and shows it by doing music videos, is now suspended by YouTube. What the heck?! It’s not like they uploaded the whole films- they’re FANMADE, people!!! :imp:

I don’t know…YouTube is just seeming cold-hearted crueler and crueler with every amazing video they take off. :imp: And what makes no sense at all is that they take off purely fanmade videos that does no harm whatsoever, and even suspend the people that made them, and yet leave the uploaded full movies alone.

It’s just getting to me. What if they do that to my music videos (that is, if I can make one) or to anyone else here? Just thinking about all those people have gone through to make the videos possible…it just sickens me to think that YouTube treats it like just a bug to flick off their screen.
:cry:

phew…okay, deep breaths. rant over.

BDD: I was just about to complain about that. :laughing: Apparently, now, after Youtube has taken down or muted most of my videos, they are telling me that I’m in danger of having my account deleted. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s a waste of time, but … I’m just going to try again if they do delete me. :laughing:

Stupid that they’re deleting accounts and videos because they know people convert the videos to mp3 — I did that to a song that was virtually impossible to find, on CD or iTunes, and … well, you can’t fast forward the song because it’ll stop working and cause your iPod to freeze. Sooo … why the heck does Youtube care if people download songs illegally? It’s really not worth it … especially if someone’s video has audio from a film in it, like some of mine have. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m about to make a music vid… and I’m hoping to post it up on YouTube… wonder how long that will last, by the way you guys are talking. :unamused: Do you know of any other movie hosting site that I could turn to?? :confused:

FONY: That’s it? That’s the reason why YouTube [stoneheartedly] did all that deleting and ruining and messing with people’s hard work?
If they go on like this, soon YouTube videos would be extinct, I tell you, extinct! Then what’s YouTube for anyway? I’m sorry to hear that they’ve done it to you, too. It’s just pure selfish of them. I can’t take any more of this. Someone’s gotta do something…

little_chef_eva09: I’m not sure. YouTube has always been my #1 site for video (watching). Doesn’t MySpace also host videos?

BDD: Yup. xP They’re horrible. It all comes down to money, it seems …

And myspace is garbage for hosting videos - I always immediately get my videos removed because of the audio used in it, and I’ve only posted a few. I really don’t think it’s worth it to try, especially since the amount of people who actually watch videos on myspace is limited. Everyone goes to youtube for that.

Well… theres this guy at school and every day he punches me for no reason. Sometimes just once, other times I get several bruises. I do nothing to deserve this! But everyday at lunch I get punched in the arm or the gut. Once he hit me so hard I thought he had dislocated my shoulder.

little_chef_eva09: I’ve heard that this is a good site to host videos. One of the people I am subscribed to on YouTube moved to Vimeo because her fan videos kept getting deleted. vimeo.com/

mo: Ouch! That’s not good at all! You should probably tell someone about it; a teacher, counselor, etc…

mo: You really need to notify someone immediately. Don’t let this keep happening to you! Don’t let this guy get away with ths!

Hannahmation and bright dot-dasher Thanks for your concerns, but he’s been busted before. He gets suspended every once in a while, which is always nice :slight_smile: I’m not sure what keeps motivating him, must be some weird kick he gets out of it.

You should wear clothing that could give him static shocks, he’ll soon stop :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve been doing calculations for the last five hours, which is pretty darn annoying. I’ve often hated maths as it is, so doing all of this was a proper nightmare. And now i have five hours to sleep before i’m up and out again! Sheesh!

All for a holiday, too. I sure hope it’s worth it.

Today I went on a bike ride. A BIG one. Today I got ready, put sunscreen on, and we set off at 11a.m. At 3p.m., after 4 full hours of biking I said “I’m done”. I called my mom and she picked us up… 30 miles from where we started! I was SORE!!! But that’s not the worst part. My acne meds make my skin very thin, which sunburns easily. I am BURNED! So I sit here… sore, tired, and on fire. I don’t know what I was thinking! I knew I would burn! It really grinds my gears! :angry:

mo: I’m jealous of your long bike ride! It’s too cold and snowy here to ride my bike. My acne meds do the same thing so I know exactly how you feel! It is really frustrating.

I just need to vent.

My Girl Scout troop had a big all day ski trip planned tomorrow. We were going to drive all the way from Virginia to Pennsylvania and everything, and we needed 15 people to get the affordable deal. Well, my mom called one of the families today, and they told her they “decided not to go.” What does that mean? Yep, the entire troop can’t go, since we now have under 15 people and the company wont give us a break. Some people are just so inconsiderate!

Rac_Rules:That sucks. I know how you feel…it’s not fair. Some people think only of themselves…

I need to vent,too. (Again, it’s a technical issue).
My MV making progress has been like a rollercoaster lately. And not a fun one.

One day, I’m on a roll and all my videos are saved and show up perfect. But since it’s late in the night and I have school tomorrow, I save it and shut the computer off. The next day, throughout school, I am excited because I keep thinking of how glad I’ll be when I finally upload my first video to YouTube.

Then, what do I get?

The next day, all my videos stopped working. GAH!!! :imp: My plans have once again been delayed.
