Easily-Irritated Persons Such As Me Gets Irritated Easily. Also, Words Can Kill. And Debates Can Cause Depression. And Depression Can Kill. So then, Any Talking; Can Results in KILLED. By the Way, Do Try to Avoid Using the Cursed Word(s) Unless You Want to KILL. ^^


Okay, that's like, one of the longest post title ever....... but meh. I like my titles to sound catchy. xD 
Can't have it not. ...does it sound catchy? :)

One of my friends just came back from her 4-days vacation to Sydney.

She bought… stuff.
She said that they were for my birthday presents that she’d failed to give in February, which happens to be the month that I was born in. I told her that she did not have to do such things. Not in that kind, considerate, pleased way, no.
I was feeling irritated.
Or was I also secretly happy?
Or was I both irritated and happy?
So was I irritated or happy?
Anyway, outwardly and on top, and consciously, I was irritated. That she bought me a birthday present.

I know I should be happy, social-interactions-wise… But I couldn’t fake happiness. I never fake happiness. Faking happiness isn’t something I like doing, and it is something I can never be stuffed to do. And it’s no difference this time.
As soon as my friend had mentioned the word “birthday”, my State of Depression just immediately decided to come back from its vacation. Well, it’s not like I could stay cheery-happy for that long, technically speaking, anyway.
Because, why the heck must people keep celebrating that cursed day? The cursed day… =*=
The damn cursed day
Psh, with the mention of that cursed day, I was put into an irritated mood for the rest of the night.
Not to mention that I came across this customer that irritated me. It wasn’t something worth being irritated and annoyed over, really. It was just a simple mistake or idiocy or retardation by the customer. However, I was annoyed.

It was a simple through-the-phone take-away order.
She ordered a certain food and then said “MILD”. It was said in a tone of voice that made me want to destroy the freakin’ phone. Did she think I was illiterate or something? Do I sound like a 5-year-old? You think I can’t understand you?
Although it’s probably because I’d asked her to repeat what she’d said, was why she’d said it to me like that. However the reason I’d asked her to repeat what she’d said was her freakin’ fault. There was this sudden background noise that came out of nowhere then disappeared quickly.
Plus, the fact that that certain dish WAS ALREADY MILD also annoyed me. =*=
She ordered a few more dishes, then she repeated the whole order again. For my sake, of course, but this also annoyed me because I was about to repeat the order back to her when she beat me to it. However it’d have annoyed me more if she’d asked me to “repeat the order back to her”, when I’m about to do just that. I’m an easily-irritated person. As expected of someone suffering from Depression, though. No surprise, really.
She went a little rushed, and so I asked, “Sorry, can you please start from the start again?”
She made this little annoyed “huffed” noise. I couldn’t blame her for being annoyed, however, because so am I. There’d be no end to this. :/
“..blah blah blah. And I want it MILD.”
Me: =*= It’s already mild, you dumbass! And it’s written down on the freakin’ menu!!! “Sorry? MILD?” I asked this just to make sure, and I was annoyed, too, ahahahaha. Although that was as far a revenge I could get because, customer is god. J
 Customer: “Yes. MILD. I want it in mild temperature.”
This sentence was what ticked me off completely. What did you just say? Are you twisted in the head? Did I just hear the word ‘temperature’ come out of this receiver? I was a bit taken aback and so I went uncertainly, “MILD… temperature?”
Customer: “Yes, MILD. You know how you have it in mild-medium-hot? I want it I mild temperature.”
She successfully made it sound like I was the idiot with half-deaf ears.
I was pissed.
However I did successfully ended the conversation without any yelling.
Good thing it was on the phone. Only some saw my irritated face. :3

Back to my friend who bought me birthday presents, which was a month and a half late, but that wasn’t the problem…
I was irritated that she bought me birthday presents, and I kept telling her that she shouldn’t have done it. In monotone.
…In my heart I knew I should at least smile when she gave it to me. But it was too hard to fake happiness, like I said…
“I got you the first volume of The Prince of Tennis and a Vampire Knight Art Book!” she says.
Me: =*=… “J…Oh, that’d have been good… except that I already have the first volume of The Princes of Tennis at home, in Thai…”
Friend: “Oh.”
Me: Why am I acting so mean? …Aargh. It was the cursed word. The “‘birthday’ present”… The cursed word, indeed.
Friend: “Well, I didn’t know.”
Me: “Of course you didn’t.”

No, I wasn’t happy at all. Really. I don’t think. Maybe I am. Maybe I’m not.
Like hell I know, and like hell I care.
…Did she misunderstand my tastes? Yes, totally. I don’t understand art. And it’s not like I like Vampire Knight that much, either. I dropped it edges ago, really. Didn’t she know that? Err… apparently not. But who cares.
She said that “I didn’t know what to get you. And the stuff that I wanted to get you, you already have, so I got you those.”
Yes, but I already have one of them. And why are you buying me birthday presents? Trying to make me commit suicide, now are you? “Easiest way out. Don’t buy me anything.” < I said that sentence like, 5-6 times to her earlier today .
Fortunately, being the optimistic person she is, she was still smiling like always. Phew.

Plus, I’ve been trying to not buy any material things lately, with the chance of me going back to Thailand by the end of the year extremely high and all.
Yesterday my mum just said “This IELTS test is impossible for me to pass” to me, so might as well deem it certain…?
Oh, but my mind haven’t really accepted the truth yet. It’s like how I’ve been avoiding thinking about Work Experience (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, check some of my earlier posts… umm, the one that says “The School is Trying to Make me Commit Suicide”…)… It will need to happen, yet I’m not doing anything about it…
Geezes.
I hate life. =*=

Someone kill me nowwwww.

Some people will probably be really offended if they heard me say that. :/ You know, those people that are fighting to live, respectively. They’re fighting to live, and here I am asking to die.
While my life is perfectly likeable. In many people’s eyes.
I like my life. I do. I just don’t like life as a whole. I think it’s a bunch of senseless, pointless crap.
I don’t even have any right to be suffering from Depression. =*=
Geezes. This is another reason why I hate life so muchhhh….

Okay. I really, really, really want to die right now.
LOL, my State of Depression is full back and rolling. :P I don’t even care about leaving people behind at this moment in time (I’m sure I will sometime after this though, but not at the moment. I know myself).
Blame the word “birthday”. And then that “Work Experience” I’d just mentioned. They’re quite convenient triggers for my State of Depressions.

Other convenient triggers includes “future”, “university”, “senior”, etc, anything about the future, really.
A while ago someone had asked me whether I’m going to do the “Headstart Program” or not. (It’s this program at a certain university where you can study a course there while you’re still in Grade 11 or 12.)
I went quiet for a moment. I might not even be in Australia by then. Plus, even if I stay using a Student Visa, I’m not sure whether I’m eligible or not… “…Err, yeah, I want to, but I’m still not sure yet…” Was the reply I gave.

Daammmmmmmmmnnn.
Am I trying to make myself depressed?
Talking about these stuff sends me into despair. :/
So why am I talking about them? =*= Well, it’ll take a while for me to get out of a State once I’m in one. Maybe you should expect a few more Depression-filled posts the next following days? :/
Or maybe I’ll force myself out of it for the time being. I have lots of things to do after all.
Can’t waste time moping around thinking about committing suicide, now can we?

I seem to have a twisted mind. A word that normally gives people joy like “birthday” makes me want to commit suicide.
…Is what I think I should say.
HOWEVER, like hell my mind is twisted. I just think differently from people…. (is that valid? O.o). I’m just a coward that has really, really, really, low self-confidence. That’s right. It’s the start of it all.
Once another friend of mine has asked me, “Why do you have low self-esteem?” when I’d told her that I have low self-esteem.
I tried not to make a disgusted face at one of the stupidest question I’ve ever heard in my entire life. It’s like asking someone who’d optimistic why they’re so optimistic. Or asking someone who’s nice why they’re nice, etc.
Like hell I could give you a proper answer. It’s in ma personality!! But I attempted an answer anyway. “Well… that’s because I lack self-confidence, which is practically the same as low self-esteem anyway…” Pauses. “Do you even know what self-esteem is?”
She shrugs uncertainly.
Me: =*= Damn. …I was pissed. :P
She tried to talk me into getting out of Depression, I think, or whatever it was she was trying to do. When I mentioned that I’m a total failure, she said that “You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself”.
Me: “Why not?”
She: “…Well, you just shouldn’t consider yourself a failure for every little mistake you do. Everybody makes mistakes.” I’ve heard that phrase so many times, I could strangle you for saying it alone. Can’t you be more creative?
Me: “…I know that. I know that everybody makes mistakes.” Yeah, even elementary schoolers know that.
She: “So you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself.”
Me: “If I don’t be hard on myself now, I really will end up being a failure once I move back to Thailand.”
She makes this sort of impatient sound. “…Now, if you think you’re a failure, then what are we?”
Me: That makes you guys total failures. But I can’t really say that, even if I think that. Plus, she’s measuring my “failure” level with only academic level. However that really doesn’t have anything to do with it. There are lots of people in this world that ends up successful without even finishing primary school. Your argument is invalid. =*= I can’t survive in life when I’m scared of just doing Work Experience. So freakin’ scared that I’m Depressed! How’s that!?? However I painfully lost that argument because I couldn’t say that I thought that they were failures. And it was simply too bothersome to explain the whole concept that came afterwards (Typing this up was also a pain, mind you). She wasn’t the type that could understand big stuff like that anyways, although it is quite simple…
I was still pissed as we continued the conversation. Don’t know if she noticed though.
Our opinions on this certain topic never mixed well. Everything she says to me, I have an argument to back it up. However I FAILED in debating and I can never come up with a proper one on the spot. :/ It sucks.
However our debates never really ended with a clear winner…

Talking about debates, that reminds me of something I want to rant about.
The friend that came back from Sydney that I mentioned earlier? She’s also the same “certain waitress” that I’ve complained about in a couple of my posts back in March.
There was this one time that I had a non-serious debate with one of my co-workers about how a sign should be put up; whether the sticky-tape should be on the inside, outside, etc.
There were several interruptions since we were in the middle of work.
My co-worker was the one who put up the sign, I got the last word in, and she put the sign up my way. Then the certain waitress passed by and asked, “Who who won that argument?”
“Hm?” I wondered. “No one…” Which was sort of true. Since I didn’t feel like I won anything, but my co-worker didn’t win anything either. It wasn’t serious anyway.
“Of course, of course,” she said, grinning at me knowingly. She gave me the look that one would give you a person who’d lost yet isn’t admitting it…
My anger metre went up sky-high. =*=
This actually happened in December last year, mind you… And yes, I still remembered it, since it pissed me off quite a bit.
Yes, I was pissed.

…How many times have I used the word “pissed” in this post?

…Oh well, my friend(s) never ceases to piss me off. x) Partly because Depression makes me easily-irritated, and partly because I have a bad personality… (unless I’ve had Depression since I was in elementary school, then it’s definitely related to my personality. I’ve always gotten irritated, annoyed and angry at pointless stuff since I was a kid. I’ve gotten better since entering middle school, but then Depression kicked in. So then, oh, back to easily-irritated with everything pointless! 8D).
…Even their face(s) pisses me off sometimes. Never mind how, ‘cause I don’t really care, ahahaha. xD

So then, so long,
From,
Mage-chan~

  1. Oh you only used "pissed" 6 times in this post, which is pretty good considering the context probably required more "pissed" perceptions.

    This may sound a bit sadist, but the take-away conversation with that woman made me laugh. I don't mean to laugh about your annoying events, but I'm sure when you look back it is a funny story to share, and I have plenty of empathy for you and what you went through (I've worked in retail before and some customers can be real retards e.g. " I want this in a size L", this is a size L, "really?", yes, look, L!)

    I don't know you that well as I only started following your blog recently, but I really enjoy your writing, so I'm glad you are around to share it. And by being around it means you were born and by default you have a birth-day. Congratulations! :)

    p.s. your Title heading IS EPIC :)

    1. Naah, I find it quite hilarious myself. :) Oh, but I really was pissed at that time. (Well, I was already pissed with the word "birthday" drifting into my ears, so, it was oil to the fire)
      Doesn't it make you wonder how some people can be so utterly, ridiculously stupid? :3 Just saying.

      Well, with that said, you've just been added to the list of "People Who I Must Not Commit Suicide, For Their Sake", or the list of "People/Things That Are Stopping me From Committing Suicide". :D Congrats, Dave! (Err, calling you Dave is fine? No, actually, I think Dave is just too normal a name. I simply MUST give you a nickname. Although I feel really strange since you're probably AT LEAST 5 years older than me... >< So, tell me that you'll be fine with me calling you by nickname. Even if I'm way younger than you... But you don't seem to be that serious type of person who demands respect from younger kids? ...are you?) ><
      And so, did you wrote it as "birth-day" instead of "birthday" intentionally? Or not? Because if that was a verbal conversation you'd have said the "cursed word"! xD
      But I'm out of my State of Depression at the moment and quite high after writing non-stop, so it's all cool. Plus, you're on my List, so what you say doesn't negatively affect me TOO much... err, probably... But, still, be glad that I'm in a good mood and that you're on my List. Otherwise you might have tempted me into suicide. :)
      (But just so that you don't feel bad or anything, you didn't... Maybe it's only when it's "verbally said"? Hmm... :/)

      I know right!?
      Epic is a cool word ...Just saying...
      I love those sort of dry, sarcastic humour! :D
      Did I mention I'm also a bit of a sadist? Well, I did say that I have a bad personality. Although people say that they like my... "honesty".

    2. Since we're aquainted now, you can call my Deevi, (Pronouced Dee-Vee) :3

      I'm happy to be on your suicide prevention list. To be honest I have been through a lot in my short life. Killing myself has crossed my mind, but it wasn't until something terrible happened to me that I understood what I needed to do to stop wanted to end my life. (however I do have many people around me that I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for if I just killed myself and left them, it just wouldn't be fair on them).

      I respect younger or older, so long as they are on the same level as me or are awesome enough to command my respect. But if that respect is broken... damn, it takes time to rebuild.

      When I wrote Birth-day, I meant the day you were born. Not in a celebratorary fashion, but once in acknowledgement that you did arrive on this planet, for good or for bad.

      For the record, I don't celebrate my birthday.

      I like the way you express yourself, so yes your honesty is a good attribute.

      oh and I'm normally not the happiest bunny on the planet, I understand that a person can only be happy for so much of the time. Same goes for feeling down, should only feel down for so long before giving happiness a chance again :)

    3. I want to commit suicide badly. But I'm sure I will never get down to doing it. For many reasons... (I have people who I'd feel bad for leaving behind, too, but, if I really become convinced and when I have the courage to really commit suicide, I don't think... a thought of them would cross my mind at all. I'm a self-centred, selfish person. :3)
      But mostly I wonder why I want to commit suicide so much when I haven't been through that many things (or maybe nothing at all). Why am I even suffering from Depression, my god?? =*=

      Ahaha, you're cool... Sorry, I've been thinking that for a while. 8D
      It's the first time I've talked to a stranger about this, after all.
      Well, about anything but anime and manga (that's usually on forums though) or if someone reviewed my story...

      Indeed...
      You sound like one of my friends trying to tempt me into getting out of trying to commit suicide. =.=" Not that I was ever convinced, but hearing (seeing) you say (type) that sounds strangely... affective?

      Well, I don't celebrate my birthday either! :)
      (Gave up on the pointless thing when I was... 12... I think...)

      Well, that's good, although I think that rather than honesty it was just me being evil most of the time... :x

      Yeah, I'm glad I still get to be happy every now and then, too, since Depression tends to stop me from being happy for too long.
      Oh, but I'm happy right now. :)
      I've got a new follower on my blog, and he's a talkative fellow (as in, you comment). What else could be greater!?
      (...okay, I can list many things that would be greater, but, technically speaking, at this moment....)

  2. Wow. This is long.

    How do you even remember all conversations with people? And how you felt?

    Once I'm done talking with someone - it's the end. I don't remember it until someone reminds me it happened.

    Was she in Sydney? A-chan, right? If so, I didn't even know she went to Sydney! That's cool. I wonder if she had fun :3

    I'm sorry~ For being one of your friends who pisses you off :(

    By the way, although the title sounds cool, how is it catchy? It's soooo long! :P I'd say it's more enigmatic? :P Jokes, jokes :)

    1. Yes. It is long. :3
      Although I'm not sure if it is the longest (?). How many words is the "Apparently, Pessimism Leads to Depression x)" post? ><

      Because I do. And I remember how I felt because they were evident feelings. I don't forget grudges and irritation. x) But you don't feel those often and you don't hold grudges, so you don't understand and don't do the same as I, ahahaha. 8D

      Yes, A-chan went on a 4-days long trip to Sydney with her family...

      Oh, it's all cool. Plus, it's not you that's the problem. It's me. Barely anything or anyone gets spared from my irritation...
      Also, being pissed off creates good, interesting things to blog about. You said you like me blogging, right? Well, then, be glad!

      It's cool, it's catchy, it's epic. >.> *raises eyebrows*

    2. True, true :)

      Burlesque: sorta means mockery. That lady was mocking your presumed inability to hear what she was asking by speaking as though you were illiterate.

      Besides, it's a cool word :)
