I seriously doubt you'd look anything like this!

[Rick]

LOL *Trumpkin*

That's hysterical (& scary)

[Monika]

YES!! With curly pigtails...so adorable and nothing like the *Trumpkin* that's freakin scary!ROFLMAO!

[Rick]

As if he wasn't scary enough! Now sombody goes and makes a frekin' pumpkin out of him! What a waste of a perfectly good gourd.

Oh hey, it looks like I'm going to be able to gofer at a Shakespeare conference on campus this week/weekend Whoohoo! Shakespeare! I do so love me some Bard!

Oh, wait, uh, I've got to complain that I'm not getting paid to attend this conference on Shakespeare and only wont have to fork over the registration fee. (there I complained)

And they traveling company is staging Macbeth and that's not nearly as bloody and twisted as Titus Andronicus. But hey if you can't have a Titus... At least you can Macbeth with the rest of them. ;-)

[Roger]

I'm pretty cheesed off that the BBC's "Bake Off" program refused the entry of my finest cuisine creation — the Titus Andronicus Pie.

[Lori S.]

@Rick: Don't Mention MacBeth

As you can see from this message due to some Accursed

bug the Complaint Department mysteriously started Acting

up. Does anyone have some Scotch

tape I can Play

around with to try to fix the Bloody

thing?

[Lori S.]

Will
this

work?

[Monika]

Yikes! I think my laptop just got infected everything keeps repeating! I finally come back and look what happens! You better fix this soon my darling Preston!

[Preston, Moderator]

Thanks Lori, That tape got the job done. There was a bunch left over though so I will keep the extra here in the Department near my locker in the back room then we can use them the next time we need it.

AH… SSS

Sadly Sideways Syndrome, often brought on by a bout of Black Adder watching.

Just when I thought everything was going so well, someone goes and posts a nice review on Amazon for my short novel What's A Boy Supposed to Do:

[Averin]

I hate when I am excited for a book that won't be released for six weeks yet some people get an ARC and spoil it for me.

Yes. That is very annoying. The author's initials don't happen to be JL, do they?

No MS for

[Lori S.]

Ah. Sounds interesting. And still very annoying that it's been spoilered!

[Rick]

I am saddened that the Shakespeare Conference I've been attending for the last couple of days is over.

I am now suffering from Post-Con Depression, that would be Post-Conference not Post-Convention, they are similar conditions, but not identical. :(

[Lori S.]

The let down from the fun is no fun. I sympathise.

[Monika]

I'm here to complain.....I think this is the place. ;)

So I got back from a fun filled week at GRL in San Diego, had a blast the weather was HOT HOT HOT!!!! but nice so my complaint....

I'm so exhausted! I've been soooo busy since I got back I don't know which end is up and I feel like I'm getting nothing done. Oh yeah and my back is still really bothering me I think it's time to see the doctor. UGH!!!!

Hugs Monika, can't say I didn't warn you!

Yes you did but obviously not hard enough! LOL
Thank you for the hugs. :D

[Rick]

So no Post-retreat depression yet? ;)

[Monika]

Rick wrote: "So no Post-retreat depression yet? ;)"

Hahaha! I start getting that before I even leave. :P

[Rick]

Well, the doctor released me from care, according to him the thumb is healed and my stress ball squeezing is good physical therapy. But why do I have dull, throbbing ache in my wrist and thumb? Guess what? I've probably got arthritis because of the broken thumb.

Ok, that's it! Stop the world, I want to get off.

[Eric]

I wish to complain that GRL is going to be in Kansas City next year, and that means I'll be able to attend my very first one. Sheesh, who'd've thunk that at my age I still had a virginity yet to lose?

Of course, this information may be a reason for Complainers to stay away in droves, but on the off-chance it doesn't frighten you off, please let me know if you do decide to attend. Though that decision time is quite a ways off yet.

I'd really like the chance to meet some of the folks I know online in real life.

Woohoo!!!! I'll be there Eric! It will be GRL #5 for me I'm counting down the days already. :D

[Roger]

Dammit! I meant to post these under the Author Promotion bit and got confused… But just took delivery of 10 comp copies from the publisher. Good ol' Kip Nolan…

[Rick]

Damn! And all I got from Kip Nolan was an eARC. Well, I only gave him a review, you lent him Oliver Frey for that gorgeous cover, so I suppose I can understand.

I can only guess that the copy I preordered from that darn eRetailer named after some obscure tiny South American river will be winging it's way to me soon.

[Wren]

I'd like to complain that I feel like an outcast :(

Not here I hope. We're all a bunch of "misfit toys" here. :)

[Lori S.]

I've never felt like an "insider" m'self.

[Wren]

But this is on a whole new level. I feel like an outcast within a group of outcasts :'(

[Rick]

I must complain that the first time I ever felt like I wasn't a complete outsider in the US was when I attended the big March on Washington in 1993. I went alone, even though I knew others who were going, but I had a friend that lived just outside DC, in Maryland who I could stay with (I ended up adopting his cat, Nellie, when he joined the Peace Corps but that's another story). I think it was the day, or maybe two, before the March and I was alone hunting up used books in stores in and around Dupont Circle. I was headed back to my friend's place for dinner and was waiting at a platform to get on a subway. There were people everywhere, crowded around. Lot's of incoherent chatter. The murmur of the crowd filled the platform. Then there was a slight lull and someone screamed out: "If you're queer and you know it clap your hands!" at the top of their lungs. There was a second of silence and then this reverberating, thunderous applause and cheering filled the entire enclosed space. I was cheering and applauding right along with pretty much everyone else around me. Then it slowly subsided and everywhere I looked I saw smiling faces and even tears in eyes. I'd never felt like that before in a room full of strangers before. And haven't since (although I've come close). In a weird inexplicable way I felt safe for the first time in my life. I didn't know anyone's name and I was in a strange city (even though I'd been to DC several times over my life), this should have been a bit scary and a bit intimidating. But for a few moments I felt safe. And from the look on everyone else's face - they might have felt the same way.

Rick you have my condolences for experiencing a heartwarming inclusive moment.

[Wren]

id like to complain that i wish i could evaporate or melt or just disappear

[Monika]

well it's not possible so I suggest getting your favorite mood improver , e.g. ice cream, chocolate cake etc and give yourself a while :)
or rant here a bit about things that spoiled your day and maybe you'll feel better :)

I might treat myself, good idea!

[Monika]

Ha! Treating yourself to some goodies is always a good idea ;)) put some fav music on and think about nice things and it will get better :)) *hugs*

My favorite is dark chocolate with chili powder. Yum!

[Eric]

I wish to complain that I can't afford to buy or try all the wonderful chocolates that are available here:

https://www.chocosphere.com/

>sigh<

Though I have tried some dark chocolate (good for your health) of the 60-70-80% cacao range. I don't know that they ship internationally but they do across the U.S.

[Lori S.]

Mmmm, chocolate. I've had a soft spot for Hershey's Specials of long standing. Also recommend Fanny May's Lemon Creams ...

Or maybe chat to a good friend? I know not everyone has friends they can complain to. A good book works for me too.

[Ije the Devourer of Books]

I wish to complain about all this chocolate that I cant get my hands on!
