how did anything i say infer that i cant hack it in the real world? Well you come in and bitch about the city, its inhabitants, make condescending statements about both and then bitch and moan like a child about how you can't wait to get out. Then, when asked why you don't just get up and leave, you're nothing but an endless font of facts, figures and unfounded anecdotes to form petty excuses for why its not your fault that you haven't left yet but you can't find a single word to describe what you've done to rectify your situation. Instead of sitting around waiting for life to be delivered to you on a silver platter like some private-school princess who has never had to do anything for themselves, why don't you spend some of the energy you use PMSing about your life trying to fix it? nothing has been given to me on a silver platter. i worked for everything i have. i've had a full-time job since i was 14. i worked two jobs putting myself through college while still maintaining a high gpa. so dont talk about anything being handed on a silver platter. i am doing something about it. just not right now. i'm 23, i just got done with school in may. i was going to leave in may, but i didnt have enough cash because i had just gotten done with school. and now that the economy is shit, im glad i didnt leave because i would have been more susceptible to layoffs. i got hired at the place i interned so i have over 3 years of service there. what the fuck dont you understand about i am going to fix the situation, leave, etc, just not right now because it makes no sense to do so. AGAIN, i could leave if i wanted to but this is an incredibly terrible time to do it. it's not worth the risk. im evaluating things once my lease is up in june. if the economy is better and the risk of layoff has decreased, im out. im sure i'll have several job offers (similar to how i do now) but i may not leave because of the risk. it's not that i cant leave, just doing so right now would be dumb.

I think what we're all getting at isn't "well then just go", but more of a "quit bitching and moaning" thing

i was implying that i was better than the drunk that was running down liberty with his face painted black and gold, yelling "i bleed black ang gold bitch". IF YOU AIN'T A STEELERS FAN YOU AIN'T SHIT. So no, you are not better than that dude.

Truth. The first winter I lived in Herndon there was an inch of snow, maybe two. I got onto the highway and there was a truck rolled over on it's roof and maybe a mile later there was a 5-6 car wreck. I think I just turned around and went home, I didn't want to get killed by some asshole who can't drive. I tend to stay at home at any chance of snow now because the people are fucking crazy around here. tjm718, you live in reston? I live in fairfax. What is your name and did i know you from pittsburgh? sorry for the questions i was just curious because it would be cool if i knew more people from pittsburgh down here. Well my name is TJ, I don't think you would have known me from Pittsburgh. I've only met a few people from here. But ya, I been living in Reston/Herndon going on 3 years now.

you still never answered my original question. What the hell is wrong with you? i dont have a juvenille obsession with football like most other meatheads in this city? i have enough enjoyable shit in my life to not have to get mounds of joy from a game. most pittsburghers dont, so i guess i somewhat understand. and yes, people got around today. but im sure it was anything but easy or fine. i would think it was great if 250,000 people showed up in the city for something. something that mattered, not a game, or a band for that matter. and as far as pride for my team/city: team- my teenager sister has a part-time job cleaning houses. she cleans several steeler's houses, and from what she's said, they're despicable people. and not just one or two individuals, basically all of them. they hit on her and the other employees constantly, and have things like rotten food and used condoms laying all over their places. so i dont have any sort of pride for shitty human beings like that. city- i hate it here. i cant wait to leave. the only good thing is the affordable housing. but that's a catch 22 because the housing is affordable due to the shitty job market and area. there's a reason this city has been hemorrhaging young people for 25 years. so, instead of having a juvenile obsession with football, you have a juvenile obsession with hockey; what's the difference? also, you would totally go to a stanley cup parade and that would not be lame or an inconvenience. i understand not having pride for the city, it's a personal opinion.. but i think this is way more of a personal hatred of football/looking for something to bitch about. the inconvenience was mild at best.. why hate on someone for liking football that much? you like hockey that much

im done with that point. if you think theres nothing wrong with having to clean up someones used condoms, maid or not, thats pretty fucking scummy. Well, it's nothing you could pay me to do, but I'm not a goddamned maid now, am I? i will say that i do have a maid, but i would never ever leave something disgusting like that for them to clean up.. maids should really only dust and sweep, maybe make beds, whatever.. not risk getting some kind of disease cleaning up rotten food and condoms. that's just disrespectful and obviously says a lot about a persons character (whoever those steelers might be) - i mean, if you want to live in that - fine, but don't make someone clean it up.. that's pretty gross.

um, you're both retarted. you honestly see nothing wrong with rotten food and used condoms laying around the house? i'm not talking in the garbage. i'm talking laying around the living room. if i had someone cleaning my house i would have the common deceny to throw stuff like that in the garbage. i dont care if they're big famous football players, that's disgusting. if you both think there's nothing wrong with letting disgusting stuff like that lay all over your house, you're both pretty foul. Was this found during the season or in the off season? Seeing as these guys are always practicing, studying, doing charity events, traveling, and GASP going out like normal people then I can see why their places would be a mess. i made that point last night, but you have to still agree, they could find the time to put their used condoms in a bag.

If I worked in downtown Pittsburgh today I would have either taken the day off or told my boss I was going to be late. I would have been drunk by noon either way. It wasn’t that bad. I came it at about 8:10am and left at around 5…it was no worse than usual around those times. I do wish I would have been drunk by noon, though. Allright now.. LETS GO PENS!! And YES!!!!!! What a game last night!

Andrew the point is shit or get off the pot. Either go or stop fucking whining. If youre not going to go now, thats fine, just quit fucking moaning.
Sean, Im jealous. I would have a maid if I could afford one. I hate to do dishes and dust and all of that. I would pay them extra money to put my clothes away too. Thats my least favorite chore.

. I would have a maid if I could afford one. I already told you that there are ninety eight thousand housekeepers in our area and I would gladly pay one.

If youre not going to go now, thats fine, just quit fucking moaning. i think he's just waiting for the right time and opportunity. if you know andrew, you'll know he's a meticulous planner. he also loves the cock, and has recently informed me of his desire to become a furry.
