Absent, but still outraged

I haven't posted in a while due to the massive end-of-semester course load. But I'm not doing anything that I should be right now because I'm having trouble focusing, so I thought I'd put up something.

Here are a couple things that have upsetting me lately:

~I have trouble leaving the house, even though outside of the house is where work generally gets done. It doesn't help that the house is full of free food, ice cream, and Internets.

~Chris and I were on the train, on our way back from San Francisco the other day and both suffering from headaches and SLEEPINESS. Then, at around RWC, a huge group of EXTREMELY obnoxious LOOOOUUUUUUUDDDDD twenty-somethings got on and began yelling to each other.
A girl sat in front of us and participated in this yelling. Then she noticed us, despite it all, attempting to rest our weary heads.
she said, "Wow, it's loud in here. I can't believe you can sleep!"
I replied, "Well that's because I'm fucking tired. And damn you guys are fucking loud."
She was a little taken aback by my snappiness, but attempted to defend herself, "Well... it's a really big group. And it is a public space..."
"Yeah," I said, "it's a PUBLIC SPACE!"
That shut her up. She stopped yelling, and would periodically turn around and apologise and promise that the group would get off the train soon.
I feel a little bad about snapping at her, but at least it was one of those cases where it was worth it, because it really got the point across.

~My cat's been sick. *sigh* Poor little baby kitty. She's about a year old now, we think. Cats this young should NOT be this sick.
Coming back from the vet for the nth time, my mom's friend came inside. I asked, "how is she?"
He said, "Well that's why I came in. She's a very sick cat. It might be time to say goodbye. I'm sorry."
Then they explained that the doctor gave her new antibiotics and that we'd see how she does on those.
Dammit, then START WITH THAT! Don't start with, "we're putting your baby down." Jesus.

Ok, that's all for now. Extensive torture-themed outrage coming up in a week or so (first Obama-oriented outrage! Yeah! Take that Obama!).
