Raziere's Rollicking Red Raging Rant (Random Banter Thread #213)

[Teddy]

Got a callback in... gall, less than an hour. It's for this ridiculous two-person farce where each person plays 11 characters and man do I ever want this. I mean, I played 5 (small) parts in a show for this director last year; that has to count for something, right?

Wow, awesome! Good luck!

IRN:
Speaking about acting, I'm part of putting together a large party, and I'm going to play roles throughout the entire day, be it singing, acting, being a toast-master or acting even more. And I'm everything from poorly prepared to almost not prepared at all, including on the stuff I did write myself...

[FinnLassie]

After watching this video I really wanted to say that I'm done with the internet, but in reality I'm really impressed with what the internet has brought to our lives.

There is no need to be upset.

Man what is that song though it sounds awesome.

It's Nightwish's take on Walking in the Air (when Tarja was still the singer in the band). It's kinda the theme song of an iconic Christmas film that is basically obligatory tv entertainment in Finland and its country of origin, the UK as well I think. The Snowman, was it? Yeah, it is. That simple.

It is, apparently, this. Which is to say, I had the exact same thought as you, except I had a vague recollection of the name on which to base a guess (not that the first line of the song is such a far shot of a guess ).

ION:
Today we were accosted by the roars of mighty dragons (or rather, griffons, but dragons are more appropriate) dancing mating dances over our heads, but that was just sporadic, and they never interrupted anything important which we couldn't excuse. And the rest of it, I was so nervous and excited I couldn't sleep, but everything turned great, and everything I'd written myself was really well-received, and everything just clicked! Suffice to say, I've got so much positive energy cooking in me right now I could probably kill undead with a light touch, and then I didn't even drink anything alcoholic, because I need to drive tomorrow.
Which I probably should sleep for...
...
Whiiiich... might not be the easiest thing to do right now...

Ooh, awesome. I really like this song so I'mma listen to it on repeat for awhile.

And I'm going to try and rewrite the lyrics, because it's almost 3 in the morning, and I am not sane.

[LaZodiac]

Sister's pulled the final straw.

I'm just glad this is "almost too late" and not "too late".

This particular version of it is quite fun, I think (note the landmarks they fly past are all Scottish, since Irn-Bru is famously made by a Scottish company):

@Zodi: I thought your sister had a permanent reservation in the Last Chance Saloon, what's she done this time?

No use not talking about it. *rips off the band aid*

She tried to push Mom down the stairs.

[Qwertystop]

...yep, that'd do it.

Welp.

I have never felt so much goddamn rage at a single person in a long long time. I hope your mom's okay, and that you and your mom never have to see your sister again.

Mom is fine, she says she was never in any real danger. Unfortunately the hospital can't take my sister away to a padded cell to get better since that's illegal, so we have to wait until sister decides she's deranged enough to go to a therapist. All we can do is encourage her to go get herself fixed.

Sigh.

[Eon]

I'm sorry Lala. I'm here if you need an ear or a shoulder.

Just out of curiosity, I know that one of my friends had a situation similar to that and the courts were able to mandate a psychiatric evaluation/physician examination, and they were held by the hospital temporarily while a treatment plan was determined, with the possibility for extension if they found it necessary. I know the hospital cannot, to use your words, take her away to a padded cell, but is there a similar route relevant for you to get her the mental care she needs? Sorry if this wasn't okay to say, I just remembered it helped my friend's family.

Thank you, I'll throw that idea at Mom later.

Anyway in happier news, tomorrow is Episode 50 of my Skyward Sword playthrough! Gonna have some interesting stuff in it, so see you there everyone. Hopefully

[Rain Dragon]

Life got more interesting recently in both good and bad ways, but I'm feeling better about tjhings.

I have a goal for something, I just need to start but I just haven't had the time in a place to do so. It's a little frustrating even if having the goal feels like progress.

We were looking after my Grandma's dog for a day and within that time the dog escaped twice. Same dog has been here before for longer unable to escape, so she's definitely become better at it.

I'm glad your Mom is fine. I really hope the best for you and family. Someone trying to push someone down stairs sounds pretty scary.

I'd going to amend my post, I went searching for the old messages. It was held for assessment for a couple days maximum and then from there they could be held longer if they were deemed to be a danger to themselves/others and refused treatment, the physician could apply for extended holding of the patient or involuntary treatment if they could show it is necessary. Glad I could help.


I would be there, but I haven't seen all of the previous ones yet.

[Razanir]

In lighter news, my floor's government is thoroughly bizarre. We, a guys' floor, have a President, President Emeritus, Czar, Wizard, Queen, Vicereine (me), Master at Arms, and Squire.

According to Youtube's really bad analytics system if you start watching right now you'll finish just as I upload the next one!

Huh.

We only had a floor captain that on-one ever listened to.

You see. I mentioned the time the president and vice president styled themselves the dictator and court wizard. They had fun with titles.

Holy hell, it's like someone took all of the governments of the world and put them in a blender. It is somewhat scary that a university's floor full of dormitories needs a Master at Arms. :P

[Cyber Punk]

What do all those roles do, Razanir? The Master-At-Arms and the Wizard especially pique my curiosity.

[Razanir]

The Queen is a figurehead. The President, Czar, and Wizard are collectively our two voting members at dorm gov't and an officially designated backup. Because the President can't make it this semester, I declared myself Vicereine (not Viceroy, because we have a queen) as backup officially designated backup voting member. The Squire has no defined responsibilities; he just wanted the title. The First Lady is the RA's girlfriend. The President Emeritus (for life) is last year's president. The Master at Arms is the medievally renamed Intramural Chair. And the Jester is the medievally renamed Bathroom Chair (in charge of finding memes and comics to grace the stall doors so we don't have to stare at solid white walls).

You see. A few years ago, our president and vice president styled themselves the Dictator and Court Wizard. I mentioned that, and they ran with it.

[enderlord99]

Why don't you add a Pharaoh or a Sultan? Maybe also a CEO...

[Rain Dragon]

I had 20min this morning I could have done something I'd been meaning to do and spent it surfing the web instead.
Ha, great. I'm such a responsible adult! X.x

Haha, I don't quite know what this is for but it amuses me nonetheless. Sounds fun!

[Qwertystop]

I was hoping that at least one of those roles would have an official job description along the lines of "Be the [X]," just to emphasize the sheer...

bleh. I was going to say "superfluidity" as a tense of "superfluous" but that doesn't really work. What's that tense called, anyway? Or is that some other thing than a tense?

[Razanir]

Our dorm has a government, and each floor gets two elected representatives. Of course, many floors elect other local positions. We just happened to go overboard both with positions and titles.

Superfluousness. And it's a part-of-speech, not a tense; you're changing an adjective to a noun.
