Random bitching and moaning...

unforthI have to do a few rants, just ignore it...
Goddamn fucking Monroe County Public Library. Not only do I have to pay for the book that was in my car when stuff got stolen (the graphic novel of "Road to Perdition") but I have to pay 24 fucking dollars for it, because it's cover price plus all this bullshit processing fees. And they don't take credit, so I couldn't pay them today (but they at least put some hold thing on it so I won't owe them even more money). Normally I'm pretty forgiving and understanding, but this just seems low, making people who have already been fricken ROBBED FROM pay twice cover price for a book when the point of borrowing it from the library was to save money! Like, if I could afford the fucking book I'd have gone and bought the fucking book. And they fricken lied to me, too, when I talked to them about this before, they said that I only owed them $14 dollars (cover price) which I was willing to pay. It's just such a fucking mean, non-user friendly, asanine store policy. Grrr...I mean, okay, they are a good library, and I'll probably just shut up, pay, and continue to borrow books from there - $24 is a small price to pay for a good library, right? - it just seems to lame somehow.
The people in my class can't understand basic division. This stuff is EASY, and they're giving me dirty looks for typing while the teacher is talking, but he already explained it in an e-mail, and he's walked us through gahtering the data like 6 times already. I can't believe how many people still don't seem to get it. I mean, sure, this has no bearing on me, except that I have to listen to the professor go over it again, and feel bad for typing in my LJ instead of paying attention, etc., etc.
My mom has decided that she seriously dislikes the one site for my wedding that I like the best. I spent the better part of an hour not just to dismiss the site I like out of hand. I can't figure out what's so bad about liking the place that costs the least best, but she's managed to convince herself that there's something wrong with it. This isn't as frustrating as the other stuff, because I at least convinced her to give the place I like a chance, but still. Aaaaargh.
Okay, I feel a little bit better now, sigh.

3. Sorry to say this, but havin parents involved in wedding planning is a -big- mistake. You can't win in this situation, you really can't.

Date: 2006-03-02 12:39 am (UTC)The biggest problem we had was MJ's parents wanting me to change my name. In general, having our family involved was a great blessing. They said, "What do you want us to do, within reason?" and then they did it. My parents hosted the reception at the house, made/paid for all the food (this was mostly my dad). MJ's aunt made our cake. Everyone was super-helpful and supportive except for the name thing and it really made everything perfect.
Not all families suck. Mine was REALLY AWESOME when it came to our, wedding.
Not that they aren't a pain in the ass sometimes too. :)
