Honestly you sound like a 13 year old girl. There are millions of other people that own the same shoes as you.
This is totally, inexplicably dfferent.
How is it different?
I did explain above actually...
It's a pair of shoes. Does it matter if you two have the same pair? Will the world end if you both wear the same shoes for a day
Will the world end if I die tomorrow? Of course not, but it matters to me! ;_;
It's a pair of shoes. They're mass produced and sold to millions of people. It doesn't matter.
I wouldn't care. If anything I'd be like you have nice style.
*we have
Did this meme exist already?
It does now! hahaha
It's about time then. Also, not funny!
Not to you, but as long as I think it is, that's all that matters! hahahahahaha
Sure, that's all that matters to you, but others don't care about what matters to you.
Just like I don't care about your stupid first world problems! hahaha
It's a good thing I didn't ask if you cared.
likewise! lol
i lol'd
as did I! loooooooool
Good, expect I never talked about whether I cared or not. And this is my question, so by default, we will be talking about my issue if you're here.
Except*
The whole question sets about explaining how you're upset over this #firstworldpromblem so I'd say you care. Then you ask if I, as a peep, would care about this. Here is my answer... https://i.imgur.com/rVhTU0X.gif hahaa
I asked if you would care about having the same shoes as someone else in the family, not if you cared about my problem. Ha! You'd say I care, but I never told you directly, did I? And like I said, you are in my question, so what else are we going to be talking about other than my problem.
Well, this was fun... Oh, and I hate that stupid gif, you should too.
"It's really upsetting" but you don't care? ok. I told you that gif was the answer to the question, it wasn't about not caring about your problem. lol
I know, I'm just saying that I personally hate it. It annoys me... which I guess is the purpose of it.
Yeah, girls can be sexy when they're angry, but I don't know why I'm bothering to do this here.. the devil makes work for idle thumbs I suppose!
Well, I wouldn't know, but I'm not angry. And I will refrain from ever showing my anger from now on.
Bothering to do what here?
THIS!
This... Talking? So, you're saying you rarely have conversations with people on here?
oh no, I do, but usually when they last this long it's with someone more enlightened and engaging.
You have an internet full of anything at your disposal and you can't find other things to do. Right... Nice try though.
that's just sexist of you to assume I can't multi task!
You said, "the devil makes work for idle thumbs," meaning you're not doing anything else. Your words, not mine. But if you are multitasking, why would you waste your precious time on someone so unworthy of it?
And I never assumed anything, but even if I did, that's not sexist cause I don't think girls are that good at multitasking either.
not anything else, anything productive. my thumbs are idle and I'm on the internet fucking with you, explaining to an idiot why it's not possible to drill to the center of the earth, sourcing 90's hard house, watching highlights of the monaco grand prix, this is probably coming to a close though.
It doesn't matter whether you're doing nothing or nothing productive, the same words apply; you should be able to find something or someone more enlightening and interesting. I've definitely enlightened you though, just for the record. Not that I really care...
you haven't enlightened me, you've just fed my superiority complex and reaffirmed me. hmmm, maybe that's what was going on subconsciously all along.
We both know I won the first... whatever it was. But you just go on believing whatever it is you need to believe, as it makes no difference to me.
I find hilarity in the fact that you need someone as low as me to reaffirm you. Really says more about you than it does about me, but what do I know, right?
so the prize is self delusion? I'll take the poison for you if I must. With the affirmation, it's about the contrast, I marvel at the size of the gap.
First of all, this wasn't a serious question, notice my use of excessive "likes." Also, I don't need a prize; my realization that you're not as high and mighty as you think you are is enough for me.
How are you measuring the size of this gap? Do you expect me, or even yourself, to just take your word for it? I'll let you marvel on that. And while you're at it, go do something more productive to do with your wonderful mind. I don't want to keep you from solving an actual world problem.
Find*
you've been putting more and more effort into logical strand of thought as I have paved the way for you, I am proud to have dragged you down that path, kicking and screaming, to a point where you are now on an intellectual parity with the third grade. but all this heavy masonry work has taken it's toll and I don't have the stamina I used to, someone else will have to finish the job I'm afraid.
In other words, you can't find a good comeback, so you resort to insults. Very nice. Badbye! ๐
you can't assume the next slab of the path into existence, I wasn't resorting to anything, just doing as I pleased.
Sure... Anyway, quite some time has passed, so hopefully you feel like doing something else.
The to do list has been checked off, so you'll be pleased to know I'm kickin' about unproductively again, scouring other forums for liberals to upset and answering my fan mail on GaG ;) lmao
I would be pleased, but there are still so many problems in the world that I just can't.
Yea, I'm afraid that might be what your to-do list partly consists of.
Nooo, the to do list was productive, I swear it! lol. This online stuff is all just bullshit, but it's strangely enriching! Try not to let all the problems in the world get in the way of being pleased for me, I guess it's all relative, but if I can find it within myself to take pleasure in the asinine, then so can you! lol
I guess I should believe you for no reason at all. There's no pleasure in any of this for me, I'm just too lazy to do anything else. And since I did wish you a bad day yesterday, then I would say knowing that you're pleased isn't the best news for me.
They do say no news.. is good news, so I couldn't resist!
Sure, but that's not good enough for me. I wanted great news! Something that you really care about going wrong, like hearing that your fish died or that you lost a debate... which would probably bother you more actually.
I would never let my fish die, or anyone else's for that matter. I once had to save my mother's fish because she couldn't be bothered to look after it. I passed the tank and noticed it was at the surface gulping for air, she didn't give a fuck. So, as it wasn't really my responsibility to take on for the foreseeable, I took a bucket and transported the fish down the road to where there was a fish pond in one of the front gardens. I was only about 8 so instead of knocking and asking for permission to give them a random fish, I threw it from the street into the pond... now THAT is a pressure shot! They saw me though and assumed I was up to no good. The man of the house chased me up the hill, but I had youth on my side! lol.
I lose the odd debate, but usually it's against dumbasses and it's because I allowed them a pyrrhic victory! lol
I do feel bad now, poor fish shouldn't have to pay for my desire to see you suffer.
Asking them is exactly what you should have done, and if they declined, then you could have risked it and thrown it into the pond. You obviously didn't care enough... ๐
Of course, anytime someone else wins, it's because you "let them win." You're just so generous.
Yeah, my caring was definitely waning around that age. George Carlin said, "inside every cynic is a disappointed idealist".. I'd be inclined to agree.
Au contraire, I'm acting selfishly (yet again) to preserve my poor heart, I have no idea what my blood pressure is these days but it's gonna be high if my resting heart rate is anything to go by. I'm not exactly clinging onto life but there's no need to make the time you are here more painful than it needs to be! :p hahaa
So, you're a cynic because you've been disappointed by others or by yourself... or both? Probably both. I think I'm half a cynic. lol I mean, you can tell people do things selflessly sometimes, they just like/don't mind when they can gain something from it, like bragging rights. But then I wonder, when they do act selflessly, even on instinct, it could be from a desire to see themselves as good people, which is pretty selfish in a way. lol
Oh, I know you're acting selfishly, but I would argue that it's for an entirely different reason. Also, if you're serious about the blood pressure thing, then I feel pretty bad. ... Which means I must go back and reread all the rude things you said to me. ๐
The thing with the fish was 100% altruism, I've done a few things like that when I think about it and the empathy that remains in me I can only see as weakness! Of course if you can win hearts and minds through regaling the tale you're bragging, but that wasn't my motivation and I wouldn't go out of my way to do that sort of thing for the approval of others; as I'm a bastard and I see it as negative, it's just a silver lining if you can at least make other people feel conflicted about you.
I'm disappointed by the system really, other people are pretty disappointing but that's easy to accept. Naturally I think pretty highly of myself and can only feel my life (with my ability to appreciate life on a much more profound level than the majority) is being stolen from me by the necessity to earn a crust through cooperating with dickheads in a job I hate. I knew from a young age I'd be slaving away merely to exist.. unless my brilliance is fertilized by a bit of luck at some stage.
Well, I don't kill bugs unless I really have to most of the time, and I don't brag about it, but it's because I feel sad about ending their life if I do, which is a little selfish since I partly care about how I feel when I do it. If I didn't feel an ounce of sadness for their life, and still didn't kill them even though they are an inconvenience, then that would probably be true selflessness. lol Also, I think there are some positives to empathy. And are you saying you've never disappointed yourself? ... That's pretty hard to believe, no offense.
Right, naturally! What made you realize that from a young age? And what job would make you feel as though your life isn't being wasted away?
I'll get back to you on all that, I'm not feeling as energetic as I was earlier and it's bedtime. MWAH!
You need energy to type? That makes sense... Goodnight! ... Or, I should say, badnight!
Yes! I need energy to think, our conversation happens at the end of my day when I'm running on fumes really, I can't sleep until I'm thoroughly exhausted!
I get frustrated/angry with myself when I think I should be doing better, but not so much disappointed.
I realized life was going to be shit when I sat and thought about stuff as a nipper- I suppose I'm naturally perceptive and sensitive to my environment.
If I had my time again, I'd go into medicine, but it's too late now. Meh.
I think that answers all your questions.
... Or I must be asking some pretty thought-provoking questions! ๐ (Don't be mean, I'm just kidding.)
Yes, but I think that anger/frustration could come from disappointment. That's probably just your way of expressing it, I guess.
It seems to me like you were just highly pessimistic. I get realizing your life will not go as you wanted when you're at least in your late teens or early twenties cause you've pretty much developed into the type of person you will be at a time when it's probably best to decide what you want to do with your life and make things happen for yourself. So, unless you really had no chances, for whatever reason, then I don't see how you would be so sure of that at such a young age. It's like you set yourself up for failure. What's your current occupation? If you don't mind me asking.
I was quite optimistic as a young girl, about almost everything, but that was a time when I didn't really have any internal restrictions. I changed a lot over...
... the years, and for the worst. So, looking at the way I am now, I definitely don't see things going the way I would've liked them to. But, oh well.
I'm humoring you! lmao
I duno about the disappointment, I never really feel like I'm incapable when I fail so it's more like ffs, I should be able to do this, that's why I'm angry/frustrated.
I lived in a shit area surrounded by no-hopers, with an insane mother and father. I realized this early on and knew it would be a hindrance.. but I decided to try nevertheless and was, academically at least, brilliant! lol. It was in my late teens that I ran out of energy, there was just too much bullshit to juggle, I got pissed off and threw in the towel.
At the moment I work in TV, I do all kinds of shit, mainly live broadcast... it's the buzz! lol. But I've reached an impasse with regards to remuneration so I'll hit the office as a BA once these pesky exams are out the way!
You don't have to. I don't want to put you through that kind of pain! ... Maybe.
But isn't it an even bigger disappointment when you know you could've done it, but didn't? At least for me it is.
Well, your mother couldn't manage to take care of a fish, so I see what you mean. Did they treat you as badly as the fish? ๐ At least this could serve as an explanation for your unnecessary rudeness!
That's not so bad. You're just way too negative! Plus, if your age range is correct, I don't think it's necessarily too late to go into medicine, especially if you're as smart as you say you are.
It's not a disappointment because I know I'll try again and again until I do it.
If I'm honest I'm rude because I'm inconsiderate, I don't mind when people are rude back, in fact I enjoy the banter! It was a pretty shit updragging, but I don't really attribute that to the way I am as a person, I probably would have been this way anyway, it's just the knock-on effect practically speaking.
I'd have to quit work and study for the next 8 years, it's not realistic. I might want a wife and kids one day, I probably couldn't acquire those in my late 30's.
I'm weary of all this giving, I want to receive quid pro quo, what's your story?
Right. Except for the medicine thing. not that I'm using it against you or anything. ๐ ... But, then again, that was out of your control at one point, in a way.
I think you take into great consideration how others are feeling, and you like making them feel that way. And yea, probably, but people tend to fully blame the parents for the way the kids turn out... I thought I'd try it. lol
No, it's not very realistic, but there are older people than you in my college classes and they seem to be doing okay. But I'm guessing you're smart enough to know what's best for you.
Also, nothing interesting. I like talking about you a lot more!
With the medicine thing I didn't even start, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and I got all self indulgent at a critical time, I fucked it off and took an easier path. If I'm fed up I seek out a distraction, my distraction was easy money, partying and drugs. I got a job at a softcore adult entertainment channel and ended up getting sucked into the industry, I went along willingly though. It was great for a while, but the lifestyle is unsustainable for lots of reasons.
I do consider how others are feeling, but their emotional well-being isn't of paramount importance to me.
People do blame their parents for emotional scarring, I think they need to accept some fucking responsibility for their own actions.
Ultimately I'll make the sacrifice, if I did an alternative job I loved I'd have no money, that isn't a great prospect considering the cost of living these days. So I'll do something I can't stand to earn the necessary six figures, hopefully I'll just about be able to afford a family with a roof over our heads and the weekends will have to be enough.
I want to know what you're studying and what you want to do for a living!
How could that lifestyle possibly be great? I think I'd rather die than get into that... and I'm not even sure if I'm kidding. Was it great from the beginning or was it purely a distraction at first?
Yes, and you seem to like making people feel bad, if only a little. ... Not that it worked on me. I did call you a bastard at one point, but you've probably been called worse.
What's an alternative job that you'd love?
Fine, I'll spill. I'm studying premed, so my "story" is pretty much the opposite of yours. There.
haha, I did camera work/directing on softcore stuff and solo stuff, then I moved into producing, so I wasn't having sex on camera or getting near other dude's junk. It was pretty much great from the beginning. The softcore stuff was live broadcast, so we had 5 different channels and sets with girls doing their thing, behind the camera there was a party going on. It was like the best private club you could be in (for a dude). Especially as I moved up quickly and stood in the gallery shagging girls and doing drugs at the same time. There were glamour models, pornstars and strippers, their friends would finish at the club and I'd let them into the studio. It was fucking sordid! hahaha
Being called a bastard is sweet music to my ears!
It does sound gay, but I'd probably rescue animals and run an animal sanctuary, take in neglected donkeys, go out and untangle deer from fences, rehabilitate hedgehogs... that sort of shit!
Well, make the most of it, don't end up like me.
having said all that, the industry is a spiritual vacuum, I learned a lot and it couldn't be that great because I'd never go back to it. lol
Yea, well, people do usually pick something they enjoy as a distraction, so that makes sense. I just got the worst imagery ever! Clubs aren't my thing, so that kind of club would be hell... Though hell does sound like a pretty cool place, so that's probably not the best comparison! lol
I should've known you'd like it, so I take it back!
That's nice! :-3 And you've kind of been doing it since you were 8. You have quite the experience! ๐ Would you rather do that or the porn stuff?
I try, but I'm mostly doing it for my parents. ๐
Oh, and isn't it past your bedtime!
And I just read the part where you said you wouldn't go back to it, so never mind the question.
The problem with clubs is the people and the security- dickheads ruin the experience and security means you can't take your drugs at will! So if you're at a place where you can do a line when you feel like it and all the people are awesome (bar a couple of bitches) then it makes for a good night.
I ain't into that shit anymore though, some people get trapped and addicted but I had my fill and moved on. I don't work in porn anymore, I'm freelancing around in more respectable institutions.
I'd rather save animals than work in porn. lol.
Lets face it, you could be doing worse, you'll be alright financially, the work isn't meaningless bullshit alongside assholes... and depending on what you do exactly you'll be making your mark on the planet in a positive way. Your influence and it's ripple effect will live on after you are gone. I like the idea of legacy.
It is past my bedtime, I don't know what I'm doing anymore, coherence is becoming a problem! lol
Yea, sure, that's the problem with clubs for me too! ... Nah, I just like more peaceful, isolated settings. lol
You have quite the willpower! Most people don't.
Definitely a question I haven't had the pleasure of asking before. And phew, good. You're not so bad after all.
I've thought about all that. I like helping people, I just don't like the hospital setting. lol Plus, I really like art, but my parents say I'm not outgoing enough to pursue it. lol And, pretty much like yourself back then, I'm at a point where I don't really know what I want. I guess I don't really want anything as much as I used to when I was young.
Well, then, hopefully you have fallen asleep, and won't reply to this.
lol. I just brushed my tooths so as I did! I will give proper answer tomorrow, I do run it to the last and think you deserve more than garbled nonsense.
" You're not so bad after all." I will now have nightmares. See you tomorrow. MWAH!
"I will now have nightmares." Then my work here is done!
You seem to forget English , grammar and probably who you are when you're sleepy. I've never come across this before. Weird.
To quote Charlie Sheen: WINNING! I did not have nightmares last night.. or at least, none than I can remember.
Fatigue does have a peculiar effect on me. When I sleepy, eccentricity and delirium sometimes abound. But usually I just go into primitive caveman mode.
You said yesterday "I don't really want anything as much as I used to when I was young." Why?
You shouldn't quote someone inappropriately! I mean, I have science on my side. I can just say you did and you won't have any proof otherwise... even if you didn't.
Like I said, weird! Have you always been this way?
I'm not sure. But I think we've talked enough about me.
I should pick MHO! But I'm not sure who to give it to, you all were just extremely helpful!
You don't know me, but I would have thought you'd have gleaned that I have no sense of propriety.
Nice deflection, I don't appreciate the fob off, although my lack of appreciation elicits zero fucks I'm sure.
I have not always been this way, I used to be eccentric and delirious the whole time, not just when sleepy!
One doesn't need to know you for too long to pick up on that. Nonetheless, you should know that that won't stop me from informing you.
I was not deflecting! ... I was simply devating the topic from its intended purpose. :-p
Huh. You must've been a pain in the butt as a child. That didn't have an effect on your grammar the way it does now when you're only sleepy, did it?
Me sleepy again now. I had a strange sense of humor as a kid, I used to speak in note form, so with poor grammar.. and I used to write like that too when we were supposed to submit work. It used to infuriate the teachers because they knew I was capable, I didn't do it all the time see, so they knew I could write very well when I wanted to. But I'd go through phases of doing that and there was nothing they could do to make it stop. They should have let it go, but they took the bait, from a kid! lol
What time is it for you? You should go to sleep, I don't wanna have to carry the burden for your moodiness tomorrow.
So, they cared and you used it against them. Typical!
I did go to bed last night, but it wasn't because you told me to. I am moody whether or not I sleep, I must maintain a prickly exterior!
I saw teachers as screws and school as prison, the teachers were idiots! lol
Sadly, I cannot predict the future, so I was trying to ensure that you would to the best of my ability. Not that you would listen anyway. I guess I should've said, "severe moodiness." But that probably wouldn't have made a difference.
I liked school and some teachers. Now I don't really like school much... and some teachers. I hated the teachers that would fool around and not actually teach us anything. ๐ก They were idiots? How hard can it be to teach elementary school?
I thought they were useless when it came to teaching, well, to everything actually. I dated an elementary school teacher a while ago, I used to chortle to myself about it.
Was she as useless as you thought she'd be?
Why did you do that exactly?
She was kinda smart but I never saw her in action at work so I don't know how good a teacher she was.
It was amusing to be dating a teacher, I can't put my finger on why.
Yea, people can be smart, yet not smart at teaching.
I'm sure you mentioned this to her, so she could join in on the amusement!
I think it takes a certain type of person to be effective in educating others. Not everyone is capable.
Of course I said nothing to her, it was something just for me! haha
I agree. The people being educated also differ a little, so you have to know how to make it understandable for mostly everyone. Tougher than it seems.
I think she would have found it funny! Or she'd break up with you. Either way it'd make for an entertaining story!
She probably would have found it funny, but I couldn't say fo sho. I know women are fickle over stuff like that so I didn't wanna risk rocking the boat, I wanted a bit of stability at the time.
I learn pretty visually, I had a good enough memory to get me through without doing much work.
Yes, PEOPLE can be fickle about stuff like that. :-p
One of my professors made the class take a test on what kind of learners we are to improve our learning skills. Apparently, I was primarily a kinesthetic learner. Visual was a close second though. I pretty much already knew that, I just didn't know the exact name for it. lol
You're welcome for the HMO, by the way. I was going to give it to the anon, under 18 girl, but I thought I'd reward you for wasting your time on me. :-p
I was coming to that, but I didn't want to seem too enthusiastic about it and thank you straight away. But cheers! :p
You like the hands on approach! I think visual is just called visual.
Whats up with this question anyway? You come across borderline sensible, the theme of the question seems juxtaposed to your character! lol
So, were you waiting till I turn 30 to thank me? I don't need a thanks though, I was just kidding.
I really do, it's much more fun. It just takes me a while to get started on something cause I'm so lazy, but once I do, I get really into it. No, I didn't know the name kinesthetic. lol I'd be worried for myself if I didn't know the name "visual."
I could say the same thing for you... about your initial comments, that is. A person can be sensible and have moments where he/she is not just because. I wasn't kidding when I said this wasn't a serious problem though. I was really, really bored!
I just thought it was obscure and funny that you'd ask this question. People are sometimes not what they seem at first glance.
I'm feeling sleepy again. I had quite a big dinner and I find that pretty soporific these days. Must be a sign of old age!
I asked a question once about a guy writing his phone number on a piece of paper and giving it to me to call him, obviously. Then I went on about how I wasn't sure if I would call him because the paper wasn't folded properly and the handwriting wasn't presentable. That it made me think he didn't care about me cause he wasn't trying hard enough. People's reactions were very amusing on that one!
Everything seems to be soporific for you. Why do guys around your age always seem to be calling themselves old? So annoying! I wonder what you're going to say when you actually are old.
I will be calling myself a geriatric, if I make it! A lot of dudes notice a definite difference in how they feel around their mid/late twenties, you actually start to feel mortal in terms of hangovers and it takes you ages to warm up for physical activity, you don't recover as well either. That's why I feel old.
Yeah, I have asked stupid shit in the past just to fuck with people, I don't rate the majority of users here very highly tbh, this is like visiting the zoo online.
*you don't recover as quickly
I can only hope that term will be used properly. ๐ I really shouldn't though. That soon? I thought those signs would start around early thirties. I wonder if girls feel much of a difference; I haven't noticed any complaints so far. Can't wait to find out for myself!
That's nice, but I just do it for me. I don't care enough to fuck with anyone. :-p Also, that is extremely offensive to animals! Take it back!
true, animals are much more sophisticated! I was at the zoo recently and I fed a chimp a coke bottle, I like to think I made his day! Enjoy the perks of youth! You can still stay out all night and do the next day on just one hour of sleep, you can still eat badly and it doesn't make a difference, you don't have any wrinkles! lol. I miss being in my early 20s and it only feels like it was yesterday!
I haven't been to the zoo in forever. Not that it's that great anyway, they barely let you touch any animals. Well, I accidentally killed a bunny when I was little, so I... lose. I think it's because I let it out in the sun for too long. You'd think someone would tell me not to do that. I like to think it wasn't my fault!
There is not much to enjoy, other than the given. I should be thankful, I suppose. When you think about all the days/moments that have passed, does it really feel like it was just yesterday though? For me it doesn't. But maybe I'm just saying that cause I'm young.
A friend at school had a pet rabbit and a pet ferret, he thought they'd make good friends, the ferret killed the rabbit in front of his eyes! I remember him telling me, full of sadness, I laughed at his tale. You should try and have a good time, life is fucking cruel and can be harsh sometimes, so you gotta seize the day and not take the wrong shit too seriously. And yeah it does all feel like yesterday, I remember it all so vividly!
I just laughed too! ... I guess it's one of those things where you have to be there to really feel it or I'm just as horrible as you are. :p
My life has been pretty consistent in its dullness. It's kind of like the no news = good news phrase! Well, I remember my past vividly too, but I still think it's been quite a while when I think about all the days that have passed.
You're probably not as horrible as I am. I think your perception of time warps as you get older.
You'll be pleased to hear I had a horrible weekend! :p
How did you manage to get three upvotes! Now I feel like I should take mine back... but I can't! ;_; As expected, people lack sympathy. :-p
That's relative! I guess we'll never know.
Yes, people say that, but I'm in doubt about it. I do believe I'll think that life is short, as they say, when I look at it as a whole, but not when I look at it thoroughly. Did you feel this way when you were younger? If not, then I probably have my answer.
Then I must know what happened! I could use some uplifting news right now. ๐
Peeps be diggin ma patter!
When I was younger the summer holidays used to last forever! The school year used to last forever. Now a year flies past and I find myself saying... I can't believe it's this motherfucker's birthday... AGAIN!
I was persuaded to go to some gig, I knew it would be shit and I felt vindicated when the band started the din. I watched an acquaintance get arrested and then had to explain it to his girlfriend, who blamed it on me and caused a scene, this attracted the attentions of some idiots who made a half arsed attempt to rob both of us. Fan-fucking-tastic! I love people so much!
We shouldn't comment anymore so that it doesn't get bumped up and people don't get the chance to see it, resulting in no more upvotes! ... If only I cared that much.
It seems I won't be changing my mentality too much then cause time does seem to go by really fast, in general. Yet you don't say that when your birthday comes around? lol Or are you referring to yourself in third person?
That sounds thrilling! ... So, to paraphrase, I should be pleased because you got to see a band play, you didn't get arrested and didn't get robbed? I think your friends suffered more than you overall, so I can't be too pleased. Anyway, I'm surprised you could be persuaded! Was his arrest your fault?
People never do what they SHOULD do, it's human nature.
I hate my birthday, I hate other people's birthdays, I hate Christmas, I hate weddings, I hate any event where having fun is a prereq.
I found the experience vexing, I hate being in such close proximity to such stupid bullshit.. surely you enjoy that? His arrest was not my fault, between bars he and I went to draw out some cash, he was in a mood and kicked somebody's push bike, right at the same moment as two plain clothes police officers came round the corner of the road we were cutting through. He tried to draw me into it as the cuffs were going on, I stood there with "fuck sake" going through my mind. His girlfriend was just as idiotic. Idiots attract, it seems! lol
More often than not, that is true. But I wouldn't say never. Why SHOULD I stop talking to you though? I'm already wasting my time on here regardless. A conversation can't make things any worse.
It's not necessarily a prerequisite to have fun, it's just expected because that's what it was intended for. If it was a prerequisite I wouldn't be eligible to participate in any of those events cause I find them to be a waste of time/tiring. Though I have to admit Christmas does make me feel a certain way that I can only describe as warm and fuzzy. ๐ I think it's mostly because of the night lights. Plus, it's not like we actually go anywhere, so I don't have much against it.
I'm assuming you mean literal close proximity because you are on GAG; I don't know if there is anything more stupid. Also, I don't know. I find a certain pleasure in chaos. It might be because I'm not around it much, but who knows.
So, you clearly don't like them. ... Why are you friends with them?
I duno, I'm beginning to feel sleepy again. You should stop talking to me because this is pointless, but that's also a reason to continue in the grand scheme of things. A conversation could make things worse, you seem savvy enough, but there's be a chink in your armor somewhere which could possibly be exploited if I was feeling malevolent enough.
I see those things as a waste of time/tiring but probably for different reasons. Christmas is for women and children, it's only for men when they have one or both those things in their lives.
I'm here on GaG out of morbid fascination, when I've had enough I bugger off to reddit or outside for a cigarette, that was not an option this weekend.
I'm friends with one girl in that group, our friendship was withering and dying on the vine thanks to my reclusiveness, so I thought it wise to give it a trickle of attention.
It is pointless, but the alternative is another pointless thing, so it doesn't really matter. I'm confused... why is that a reason to continue?
I believe I know exactly what you're referring to and you could not be more wrong. But before I tell you why, I want to know if I'm right. So, tell me, where do you think that chink is?
I get why it's considered for children, but how is it considered for women? The gifts are for the children, Santa Clause is made up for the children, the stories are for the children. If a women didn't have children, what reason would she have to celebrate it? Overall, as long as you have some type of family/friends, you can celebrate Christmas. Also, care to share your reasons for thinking they're a waste of time?
So sweet of you! Too bad you couldn't muster up a bit of enthusiasm for her...
Uber sleepy now! Everything pointless, if all is pointless, may as well continue this.
I was referring to nothing specific, so not wrong! You have not been probed beyond initial inspection, you are not forthcoming so I decide not bother, but I could have done, not that I would have been an evil bastard if you were forthcoming, but we never know, or I will but you won't.
Girls like da prezzies, they like the warm glow of the lights and the cosseting that time of year evokes.
I will share reason tomorrow.
Me sullen, she like!
Nightynight! MWAH
Everything pointless. Yes!
I have told you some things, but nothing you could use against me through a computer screen. If I knew you in person, or I thought there was a chance to know you, I wouldn't have told you half the things I did. I'm a very cautious person! And you wouldn't be malevolent. Why? Probably because it would take effort that you aren't willing to give.
Sure, women might like it a little more than men, but it still doesn't make Christmas for them because of the reasons I gave above. Plus, are you seriously telling me that you don't think the world looks nicer with all the lights (except for the colorful ones... those suck) shining at night? That doesn't require having anything but good taste. As for the presents, my family hasn't done that since we were little kids. Personally, I don't like presents anyway because I don't trust other people to know my taste and it just feels uncomfortable getting things from others! (To be continued...)
As for the cosseting that time of year evokes, I'm sure men like that too, even if only a little. Though you'd probably never admit it, but whatever. I'm done trying to prove my point.
Despite being uber tired, your train of thought was quite clear. Shocking! Nightynight, old man.
Wassup?
Well, this is really awkward... and you're good at guessing.
I still have a headache and the excitement is doing it no favors! This has also exacerbated my superiority complex!
... I was trying pretty hard to seem different too, without seeming like I don't speak English. :p Is there a chance of you getting amnesia so you forget everything I just said on the other post?
In what way has it exacerbated your superiority complex?
lol, I'm just a fucking genius.. although it's been said by several people I'm the dumbest smart person they ever met, and now they languish in Guantanamo! I duno what I'm on about.
Don't worry about the other post... I struggle a bit sometimes with reassuring people so that's all you get!
When something cool and unusual happens I tend to think it's me rather than fluke, this is cool and unusual so it has indeed fed my massive ego! :p Hang on I gotta take a shower, back in 10!
Hey, I could've guessed it was you too, but your age range had me messed up, and you knew the story. You had an unfair advantage! You're quite the liar though, it seems. I guess I'm right in not trusting people so easily.
That doesn't make me feel any better, but you get an A for effort!
Isn't a superiority complex hiding feelings of inferiority? :p This little occurrence is quite unbelievable though, it really must be just you.
I can't remember what was said in the other thread but I still think my powers of deduction rule! I am indeed skilled in the art of deception but it took a bit of practice I suppose, although I'm actually a man of principle and don't indulge in messing people around who don't deserve it. I spose everyone has principles though, it's just that they're personal and what one person sees as morally acceptable another would see as morally abhorrent.
Meh, don't worry about it! lol.
Maybe a little bit. Yes, the tapestry of my life has been rich so far, but I'm uneasy about it all.
I showered for ages but I had to condition my hair!!!
"I can't remember what was said in the other thread"
Is this your clever way of making me feel better? You're good!
Yea, but some people could be wrong in what they see as morally acceptable/abhorrent. Also, what makes you uneasy about it.
lol Don't worry, you were rather quick. Ohh, and I'm kind of busy at the moment, so I can't reply too quick... not that I do that anyway.
Not at all, my short term memory isn't up to much mainly down to tiredness but probably partially down to all the persian rugs too. lol
I spose that's a matter of perspective if you wanna get philosophical about it.. but na, some people definitely are wrong! haha. I think the reasons behind the unease are complex (ish), maybe it's coz I wrote life off as a kid and then a load of cool shit landed in my lap and I couldn't believe it. Also it's the peaks and troughs, I can't remember who wrote it but I do remember the quote, it was actually about fishing (lol) "long periods of watchful inactivity punctuated by moments of dramatic intensity" I always liked that quote. Most people plod along and and chip away at the coalface steadily, I do fuck all and wait for inspiration and then it all kicks off!
Rather quick? Tryina say I didn't shower properly? :p
You're right, you're not that clever. I gave you too much credit.
haha I knew you were going to say that. I'm glad you agree, but at the same time, none of it probably matters... in the grand scheme of things. So, it doesn't really matter if you're morally right or wrong.
"A load of cool shit landed on my lap"
Such as?
I've never went fishing, but this quote almost makes me want to try it. How did you come across it?
No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend your method of bathing. I'm sure someone of your smarts can shower efficiently.
I am a pseudo intellectual! lmao. I have a love/hate relationship with eloquent discourse.
There is no morality, only morale!
I guess it depends on your point of view.. to me (at the time) having a networky job in television and going clubbing and taking drugs with the "beautiful people" was for the good looking, popular and well liked.. it's a lifestyle I thought was out of reach. Of course once you've done it you know it's all bullshit, although I learned a lot.
I used to go fishing with my dad when I was a kid, I was really into it actually, eventually more than he was and I think it pissed him off when I was in my early teens and he'd have to ferry me around on the weekends to some random stretch of river or a lake. I remember the quote from a tv series about fishing that was on when I was like 5! lol. It was all idyllic and soothing! haha
A shower isn't so much about getting physically clean, it's a motherfucking spiritual rebirth!
lol I think they kind of go hand-in-hand.
Oh, you couldn't find anything else to be a part of that was for the good-looking, popular and well-liked? I don't need to have done it to know it's bullshit. I know from second-hand experience. Though that's not the main reason I don't engage in such activities. What did you learn, how to use drugs properly? :p
I thought you might have read a book about it, close guess. Do you have the show to thank for all you know about fishing today?
So that's what took you so long! ... Don't try to blame it on the conditioner.
I can't think of anything. In a way it's a bit harsh to write it all off as complete bullshit but it's definitely superficial and dangerous.. the pleasure and the euphoria, although you might argue it's artificially induced, is very real. They call it ecstasy for a reason, even if what most people get isn't really ecstasy.. it's some shit or another! I don't wanna end up sounding like a druggy, so I shouldn't go on about it! lol. I suppose the job and the scene taught me a lot about people, or at least confirmed some things for me, sharpened up my social engineering skills as it were.
To be fair I did read a lot of angling literature, some of it's really soothing and digestible. I have a stack of books about fishing! lol. The technical elements I taught myself mostly, I learned the basics from my dad and went from there.. he noticed I learned to tie complicated knots quickly at an early age and decided I was of a "practical bent" haha.
That conditioner was to blame for a chunk of the time, it said three minute miracle! As I'm me I decided I'd leave it on for like 9 minutes and get thrice the miracle!
It's basically early morning here now, I vow to return barring shit that's out of my control. I feel a shred of guilt for not returning the last time, luckily I'm cream crackered so I shouldn't lose any sleep over it! :p
I couldn't think of anything either, so I left it up to you. Anyway, I guess I look at the bigger picture. I wouldn't trust myself to be able to just let go of drug use like you have. Plus, it's all too time/energy-consuming. I suppose it makes for something to put on your resume. :p
Were you close with your dad or was it strictly business between you two? lol
As long as your hair has experienced thrice the miracle, nothing else matters! But is thrice really enough? You should go longer next time. As for me, I don't think there's ever been an instance where I left conditioner on my hair for the specified amount of time. I think I tried once (to experience the miracle), but I was counting in my head, so I'm sure I sped up the process. lol
It's morning here too, but only because I'm across the world at the moment. I barely slept four hours, though I'm in a similar disposition. Don't vow to return cause your importance to me is seeming exaggerated. :p
Tbh it was at least challenging, after years of not really having an evening at home and a good night's sleep because you're either working or partying at night and you're used to being high on whatever it's hard to let go of.. I had some strange feelings I later found out were the beginnings of panic attacks but I never let them take over, it was just a case of taking a breath and focusing on something then realizing that feeling welling up inside had stopped.. you've created one calm moment for yourself so you can create another one. It's physiological too, you feel sick and weak, it's grim. I got through it all with endless cups of tea and marlboro lights lol. My sleepโs fucked up now though.
I'm closer to my father than my mother, the old man made sacrifices and worked like a mule. He gives a strange cocktail of extremely good and pretty shit/irresponsible advice, at some point I learned what to take and what to leave.
Ha, thrice was aiight but I suppose I could have left it longer, it was a new conditioner though so it was pretty effective. I find I have to keep my hair guessing and switch it up with products, you wouldnโt have thought that makes sense but Iโm convinced it makes a difference. I think god was temporarily out of hair when he made me so he used a mixture of polyester and wire wool instead! But I donโt believe in god like that so I blame it on bad breeding, lol! Ha, I always experience the miracle, the conditioner gets left on while I take care of the rest of the body, itโs been on for long enough by the time Iโm done.
Youโre across the world? So Iโm guessing youโre jet lagged? Welcome to the twilight zone of sleep disorder! But I like feeling big and important, surely this is painfully apparent!
I don't know if this is the same, but my dad wanted to give up smoking, which he did. And when I asked him how he was able to, he told me he did it by focusing elsewhere for about five minutes whenever he'd get the urge to smoke, then the urge would stop. And that you have to keep doing this till the urge is no longer there. Your description kind of reminded me of that.
Ah, so you ask him for advice to get an idea of what not to do. Interesting. lol
I've read that somewhere, though I still don't switch them up until they run out. I would do that too, but I don't care much for conditioner (cause I'm so lazy :p) so I always debate at the end whether I should put it on or not. Now that you know all of this useful information, we can move on. lol
Polyester and wire wool? I do hear those are in higher supply and lower demand when creating people. You don't believe that god crafted the "amazing" creature that is you with polyester and wire wool? B-but it makes so much sense!
No, I've been here for a couple of months now, I'm going back "home" tomorrow. I actually went to bed extremely late when I was home, so once I came here I would fall asleep at like 11 PM. It worked out pretty well, though it didn't last long. I was back to sleeping at 5 AM in no time.
Sure, I've noticed, but you should aim for someone of higher worth to see you as big and important.
Yeah, it's just focus and willpower. Having spent a lot of time on drugs and around other people on drugs I think addiction is just a lack of those two things and it's hard for me to see it as some disease the individual has no control over.. I think that way of thinking just absolves peeps of their responsibility.
Kinda, lol. The bad advice is usually with career stuff, like deciding what to do at a certain time in a certain position.. he doesn't realize he's a big fish in a small pond so what he'd do I couldn't do- they'd just get someone else.. so I have to play the game with a worse hand; compromising, bluffing and deceiving all the way.
It'd be nice to think I'm a divine creation, but I think we're all a random occurrence.
I am curious what you're up to and where the other side of the world is relative to you, I suspect "home" is in the USA but that's purely because most users here are Americanos! lol. Your sleep pattern is similarly messed up to mine then, interesting. lol
I want EVERYONE to see me as big and important, if I had my way I'd rule the world! Also, I will be the judge of your worth, your stock is performing well so far and exceeding market expectations... not that my judgment would mean all that much to you, even if it bloody well should! lmao
Yea, but it's hard work. Not everyone is willing to put in the effort needed to overcome the addiction.
I don't know, maybe your father knows more than you think he does. How did he become a big fish in a small pond? Was it luck, family connections, or was he simply more nourished? :p
I think we're all random occurrences too, which doesn't make me feel special, but oh well. Also, I was wondering, in what way do you believe in god?
I am up to nothing really. My parents decided that I needed a vacation, so here I am, in Europe, seeing some extended family. I'm currently living in the US, but it's not where I'm from, which is why I put home in quotation marks.
Similar in what way?
My little brother has a desire to rule the world too, so you're gonna have some stiff competition. Just warning you. lol
So, you think I'm a worthy product? ... I don't know how I feel about being compared to an economic transaction; it's never happened before.
Then I suppose those lazy bastards can continue through life in a haze of drug addled surrealness.
It's unlikely! lol. Na he's a specialist apparently, this is gonna sound bizarre but I don't know what he does exactly, he works in security.
I don't believe in god in a religious way, it's just a word for whatever is responsible for our being and I think that's beyond our comprehension and always will be. The interesting thing is the odds of us existing here are so small considering the conditions necessary, then there are the questions hanging over matter and consciousness.
That's cool, did you enjoy your vacation?
Similar in that I often don't get to sleep until 5AM, because of working nights so much I'm nocturnal!
I suppose he can have it once I'm done with it, it'll be pretty much burned to a cinder anyway.
You should feel good about it, although I'll admit that was abstract. lol
They can and they will...
Huh, maybe he's a secret CIA agent!
I pretty much think the same thing, but I just say that I don't believe in god when I don't want to go into detail about it... which tends to be a lot of the time, lately. Do you mean whatever is responsible for all beings? If so, do you think there is anything beyond this "god"?
"... the odds of us existing here are so small considering the conditions necessary"
Care to elaborate?
It was fine, but I'm back in the US now, sadly. ... Not that there aren't any positives to being here. I guess you have to sacrifice some things no matter where you go.
So, when you used to say that it was past your bedtime, you meant about six hours past it? lol
Sounds good to me, just wait till I'm dead. ... Nevermind, scratch that (which I could technically do, but whatever), It would make for a pretty cool experience and death, so I'm ready whenever you are! I figure by the time this happens I'll be old enough anyway! :p
Feeling confused about it feels more natural, so I'll stick with that. ^_^
lol, have you been having the "god debate" a lot lately or something? I mean responsible for everything. I suppose the word god make us think of some divine entity but I don't think it's like that at all, to the point where believing that it's judging or controlling us is too much of a stretch for me, so is praying. What do you mean by beyond god? There's probably a lot in the universe we don't know about and it's beyond our perception, but I'm not talking about ghosts or anything.
I once read that the probability of cellular life evolving was about one-in-10^40,000. lol
I get the impression you prefer Europe over the US.
Yeah, that's how long it takes me to get to sleep sometimes!
I don't really plan on being old and ruling the world, so I'll probably have to give up soon and just stick with ruling a small hill or a patch of land or something, a chateau in france would also be good shit!
Yes and no. Yes because it's been brought up, no because, as I said, I've been avoiding going into detail about it. I've been around my cousins and some of us have differences in opinion.
Yea, it's pretty ridiculous. It gives us humans too much value considering we didn't even exist at one point. I mean that if you think something is responsible for everything, do you think anything is responsible for that something? ... If that makes sense. lol That's interesting, I'm gonna have to read up on that.
Yes and no, again. I just prefer the place I live in Europe over where I live in the US. I guess partly because most of my extended family is there, which means I have more fun... cause they force me to. They hang over my head asking me to do something with them, and after a while of rejecting, I sometimes give in. While here, I've pretty much cut all contact with my friends once I started college. I think I might be a slightly extroverted introvert...
... even though that's not what I got when I took one of those personality type tests once.
It all makes so much more sense now. Why haven't you been able to fix this problem? Assuming you didn't have it before the drugs.
That is probably more realistic, all things considered... Maybe my brother will have better luck. :p
Ha, there's some people you don't wanna have a discussion with over the big questions because they're just so infuriatingly stupid! lol. I duno, I think some kind of non-understood phenomenon is the motivating aspect of all existence, having an ultimate end of the trail is probably way too simple.
That's me all over these days, I just chill most of the time and it takes harassment for me to go out. I could totally be a recluse and not mind! Or at least be a recluse for a while, I think if you really cane it on the party scene you go off it and prefer pursuing quieter things.
I duno about those personality tests, you just inspired me to take one and I got estj.. the explanation reads a bit like a star sign.
I have no idea but I'll have to sort it out soon, I'm tired of being tired. I took medication for a while but it didn't really do the trick.
A chateau is totally realistic! lmao
I would put it in a nicer way... but yea, pretty much. I remember when I was there a couple of years ago and had a conversation about this with one of my cousins. I asked her a question, that I can't recall very well, and her answer was, "You can't ask that kind of question." lmao Instead of just telling the truth, which is that she doesn't know, or making some type of hypothesis, like you just did. Some people are in complete denial.
You made a complete 180. I've never been a partier, and if I do go out, the most I can handle is a about two hours, if even. At that point I start complaining about wanting to go home. lol
I don't know about them either, just took it out of pure curiosity. How accurately did it describe you? lol
When do you usually have to wake up? Also, do you actually try to go to sleep on time?
Whatever. I didn't want to crush your dreams completely. I'm not that cruel! It's okay, if my brother makes it, I'll make sure he gives you your very own chateau! :p
I think having the "seeking" inside you is a good thing, most people ponder these question at some point or points in life, saying you can't ask the question and living in denial will probably leave you ignorant of some things. I got a lot out of the research into philosophy and religion when I was in existential crisis years ago! lol.
Yep, I've lost the social cog a bit but not entirely, I guess these days I'm an ex extrovert. You think you'll ever do a 180?
Those things are very complimentary in their analysis.. perhaps some of it is true! lol
It depends on work when I have to get up, I'm winding that down now to move onto another phase so hopefully I'll establish a routine. I have tried but it's difficult, I'm worried the problem has become physiological and I'll end up hunting mice for a living as a barn owl nanny or some shit.
My hopes and dreams dashed! How could you be so cruel? *sniff* I bet you have got a little cruel streak running through you, although you're probably more interested in subtle mischief than outright cruelness.
My big brother wanted me to go see Straight Outta Compton with him last night... Ugghhh
Yea, and I prefer not lying to myself/others when it isn't necessary. I wanna know more about your existential crisis... So, tell me!
Well then, welcome to introversion. I used to possess more extroverted traits way back when. I was more outgoing and crazy, now I tend to keep to myself, but I've always had interest in pretty much the same things. If you're asking me if I see myself becoming a party person, then no. The biggest rotation I might make is 30 degrees.
Maybe there's just nothing negative about you... Oh, who am I kidding!
Let's not let it get to that. lol I'm trying to help you, but you're being way too general about it. Have you tried not sleeping for a night, reading a somewhat boring book while laying in bed the next night, then waking up early? Reading isn't the only thing books are good for. lol
I promise you a chateau and you think I'm being cruel! You want a country of your own, don't you? Well, don't push it! :p
I'm only cruel if someone provokes me, which is pretty difficult to do, I think. I've done my fair share of subtle mischief when I was young, but I've been a good little girl for a while now. ^_^
Straight Outta Compton! lol, I'd have thought that would definitely be your cuppa tea!
I used to get pretty depressed, thinking about it objectively it was more than the whole teenage angst thing. I used to sit and ponder at a young age and that turned into wondering what the point was, so I was looking for a reason to carry on. It boils down to perspective and choice. I remember a study that showed depressed people have views which more closely match reality than non-depressed people, I think in a lot of cases ignorance is bliss and that's the brute vs intellectual theory. Having said that I read a book back in the day that explained the world's knowledge is like a great library and it's important to understand how much of it we've never read and will never read, so you if you're an intellectual you can't make an informed decision anyway, even though the brute vs intellectual thing was more down the lines of what one feels than what one "knows".
You have to understand the way of things, life can be such a sad story but you don't necessarily have to feel bad about it; "transcend and include". In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter anyway. I took what I needed and I'm comfortable with being a finite epiphenomenal consciousness just doing his best.. some of the time. lol
Thanks, I enjoy introversion as it's much more self serving and a lot less effort. So your interests haven't changed at all but you have?
The list of negative things is loooong, but the "meh, fuck it" side of me just finds that amusing.
I've tried missing a night of sleep and working during the day, then I get home around 6pm and feel like I could sleep, but if I did I'd wake up at like 2am, so I stay awake in order to go to bed and wake up at a reasonable time in the morning... then I get a second wind and I'm be awake all night even if I just lay there.. I've spent three days without any sleep before. lol.
Yes please, I haven't decided on a country yet but I'll get back to you!
Yeah, yeah, I believe you! :p
At first it sucked. I wasn't paying attention cause I didn't really see the point of the movie... Or at least the point didn't seem movie-worthy. Then I figured out that it's based on true events/people, so it sort of gave meaning to it and made it watchable. I became moderately interested in knowing what happened back then. It was pretty annoying how the beats of the songs were consistent throughout the movie though. I'm not sure if that's how rap songs were back then or if the moviemakers were just too lazy to come up with something different. Have you seen it?
I guess I've always had the mentality that you currently have about it all. I mean if there is a point to us, as a whole, being here, then it doesn't really matter because I'm an insignificant part of that. As for the point of me being here as an individual, that can be whatever I want it to be, within reason. I sort of disagree with the whole "ignorance is bliss" thing. I mean, I think I'm more often depressed over the...
... things I don't know than those which I do know. It could just depend on how much you care, but I'll have to think about it some more.
How is it a lot less effort? I know I have to give more effort when I'm doing extroverted things but that's because I'm naturally more introverted. Yes, I still like doing the same things, I just prefer being alone more.
I did the whole sleeping during the afternoon and staying up all night thing for like a week before. I actually liked it because I was already awake and full of energy by the time it was morning and I had to get ready for the day. My parents said it wasn't healthy though and eventually I went back to normal naturally. You should do that sometimes, it's better than no sleep at all. Three days! The most I've gone without sleep is one day, a million times, thanks to college and my procrastination skills.
You have plenty of time to decide. Choose wisely.
Was that a sarcastic "I believe you"? If so, do you not believe that I was slightly mischievous or that I am a decent person?
... Yea, I think this comment is long enough now.
I just watched the trailer, I duno if it's something I'd go to the movies for, I'll probably watch it online though.
I think ignorance is bliss for a lot of people, they don't think about it or don't want to think about it. But I agree with you about the things we don't know being depressing, I think there will be new discoveries but we'll never fully understand the universe as it's just beyond us.. in the same way a chimp will never understand how a computer works.
I suppose it's less effort for me being an ex extrovert, I go out less and spend more time alone. I usually feel like I've got to make a bit of an effort when I'm going out but these days it's not as often. So if you used to be a bit more outgoing and crazy what inspired the change? I take it your're more interested in things you can do by yourself rather than team sports or something? lol
Yeah sometimes I take a power nap, I think it's pretty bad for you to go for long periods without sleep. At the end of three days awake I was hallucinating and getting a strange dropping sensation like when you're on a rollercoaster.
It's a tough choice coz I really like good weather but I also like seasons.
I thought YOU were being sarcastic! :p lol. Na, I can tell you've got a mischievous streak and I can also tell you're also a decent person.
For what it's worth, I don't recommend going to the movies for it either.
Yup, and for some reason, it bothers me that I'm going to die without getting the answers to these questions. Sometimes I feel like the main reason I want to live for a long time is to see what the world will be like in the future... Which I think is pretty weird of me.
I guess it's more effort and less self-serving based on the fact that it takes more energy to be extroverted, but it's similar to introversion because a person that is extroverted enjoys doing those things, so they're really doing it for themselves too.
I don't know. I have my theories, but I'd rather not share them. One: because it would be a long story, two: because I'm probably wrong anyway. Yea, I'm more interested in things I can do on my own. I don't like dealing with people... and I mean that in the nicest possible way!
How long are these power naps? Also, hallucinating of what? Sound like fun, you should have let yourself drop and go to sleep. :p You need to listen to your body, mister.
Then the choice is simple. If you pick some place with all season, you get the good weather for a while too. If you pick a place with only good weather, you'll miss out on the other seasons. Although you could always travel whenever you miss winter, etc. ... Wait, why am I taking this so seriously? lol
How are you so sure?
I guess I'm really curious as well and it's actually a motivating factor for me in the odd healthy choice I take. lol
Yeah but if you're an ex extrovert so much of it is really familiar and routine so extroversion really isn't that challenging, you just recognize it takes more energy. Also you get a different kind of nourishment from introversion.
I'm interested to know these theories if you can be bothered but I can understand if it's a bit too tricky to go into.
Do you think you have a touch of misanthropy.. in the nicest possible way? .. because I do. lol
A couple of hours is enough, I feel like shit but it tides me over. I listen, I just choose to ignore it sometimes.. some people have been very, very impressed by my ability to be all Zen and stoic!
The choice is really cultural and also it's in the fine detail.. like between damp cold or dry cold. If your brother really does take over the world I will totally remember this conversation!
One thing I've learned is that people will surprise you, you can have someone down as one thing and they'll throw a curve ball.. I've got an open mind because I really don't know a lot about you, but my suspicions in terms of anything negative haven't been raised yet. I'm an excellent judge of character so that should really be an affirmation! lol
What do you mean by the odd healthy choice you take?
It does take more energy. Introversion is pretty easy, which might partly be why I prefer it. Who wants to make life more challenging than it needs to be! How do the nourishments differ, in your humble opinion? :p
No, I cannot be bothered. It algets too personal for my liking.
I can't say that I do. Maybe if you tell me why you have a touch of misanthropy, I can be enlightened and follow suit.
If you feel like shit, then a couple of hours is not enough. Sorry to break this to you.
Have you narrowed it down to a couple of countries yet? And explain the reason behind your choices... Or not. Whatever. Except you won't know who he is, so he might take over the world and you'll be totally oblivious of it. :p... Okay, maybe not totally, but you get the point.
I guess I should be flattered then. I can't say that I think so positively of myself, but that's because I know me. You know more about me than probably most people though.
gets*
I'm talking about going for a run occasionally or cutting off the fat on my bacon coz I think it'll help me live longer! lmao. Or maybe not coz I got pretty drunk last night and now I'm hanging like a beyatch.. I feel sooo sick! lol
It's just a different vibe you get from social input compared to doing stuff by yourself, I enjoy my own company a lot these days because I've found myself to be so witty and charming!
I think most people are rapacious vapid idiots, present company excepted! :p
Fairy 'nuff.
Hey, it's better than nothing.. I COULD go back to doing speed and then who the fuck needs sleep anyway? lol
I can't decide between Italy, France, Britain, Japan and Australia. Which one would you pick?
Yeah you should be flattered! lol. What makes you say that?
Ah, I do none of that. I haven't gone out running since gym class in high school. ;_; Although I look fine, I've noticed that I'm not internally healthy at all. I get tired rather quickly, I think, when I have to go up a few stairs, etc.
lol So, you have conversations with yourself, good to know. Sorry if I'm interrupting you from that. :p
I guess you have higher expectations of people. I don't really feel anything for humankind, even though I agree with your assessment. Who was your "present company"? :p
Better than nothing is not good enough. You would need it, you just wouldn't want it. Here's another idea, why don't you just sleep longer?
I'm not qualified to answer that as I haven't been to all of those places. I'd feel responsible if you picked the one I chose and it didn't work out for you. I don't want to have to carry that kind of burden. :p... Which one would you pick?
If you think I should be, then I won't be, just to spite you. :p Because I could be better/do more.
... My current goal is to fit everything I have to say in one of these comment boxes. I'm doing pretty well, apart from this.
lol, I used to be in pretty damn good shape but now I'm getting kinda flabby so I go for the odd run to feel like I'm doing something about it. In reality my lifestyle is shocking and I should sort it out. It shouldn't matter but the type of people who obsess over fitness really put me off and I struggle with being a part of that even though I'm just an individual working out.
Yes! I have Wilde-esque dialog with myself!
I do kinda but that doesn't stop me from just seeing other people as animals most of the time.. but animals that act with malice so they don't get my empathy in the same way something like a chaffinch would.
I can't always get the sleep because it doesn't happen then I have some commitment or another so I can't just stay in bed and show up like hey y'all sorry I'm late I had to catch a few extra Z's! Or then again, maybe I could and should!
I've never been to Japan or Oz but they look cool, of course I'd visit before making a decision. I'd probably kick all the morons out of Britain and live there, but it's close between there and Italy.
I feel so spited :( HA! :p
So could most people, I mean look at me!!! lmao
You know what they say about goals, aim high! You can fit your thoughts into one box, I believe in you! :p
I can't even get myself to pretend I'm doing something about my health. I applaud you. I'm put off by that too, which I think is perfectly reasonable. I would go into detail, but I have a goal.
Weirdo.
That's what I meant; your expectations are high, but they're not reached. I think most people are neither good nor bad at the core. Maybe you're just blinded by the chaffinch's cuteness. :p
Excuses, excuses.
You didn't even mention France, so that's out. I wasn't in favor of it anyway, since I've been there and I didn't see what the fuss was about. I was going to say Italy, even though they aren't doing too well economically. I've always liked it for... reasons. Plus, we'd sort of be neighbors.
Exactly, so could most people. Which means I consider myself just a bit above average. That's nothing to be happy about.
Let's not add this "goal thing" to the conversation cause it adds more to write about. ... As you can see, I take my goals very seriously.
Well I'll move things along to the next box and open the floor to more detail!
I don't think my expectations are high per se, it's just the cretinous nature of people means they often can't meet even the lowest of standards.
Reasons, reasons!
Yeah Italy beats France hands down, I can't tell you how much I dig Florence, for reasons! :p So you're from that neck of the woods but the mystery remains! lol
I'm conflicted over where I rate myself these days.. but a bit above average at what, are you talking about everything?
Yeah I rarely take goals seriously, but that increases my success rate.
Thanks for the help! See what happens when people work together. Anyway, it's just not attractive when someone works out so much that they look like a bodybuilder. I like a more natural look. Also, that lifestyle is just not appealing to me.
What kind of standards are we talking about here? They might not be high, but they're probably a bit higher than they should be.
Reasons and excuses.
Tell me these reasons. Have you been to Italy? Yup... try to guess. I want to test your deduction skills. Anyway, you're definitely the bigger mystery around here.
No, not everything, just what we were talking about... I'm ranking myself on how decent of a person I am cause I like making myself feel bad.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, my parents got a fish tank while I was in Europe. And I, unlike you, am taking very good care of not one, but 8 fish. :p
I've seen what happens when people work together; crying and screaming! My brother got huge once, he looked like a white version of one of those 100m sprinters, it was an incredible transformation actually. I was never that big, I didn't pump iron in the gym coz it's boring. A lot of people are like slaves to the gym and I can't be doing with that kind of shit! I went climbing instead so I had wicked all round strength and flexibility.. but that's a long time ago now! lol.
Thinking about it I don't know what I expect, I just know I fairly consistently don't like what I see when I leave the house.
Cause and effect!
If I must... I like it because it feels right, it certainly tastes right and it looks right.. yeah I've been to Italy. I went to Rome aaaages ago, Sicily aaaages ago and Florence a few years ago, Florence made the biggest impression. But what if I guess wrong? lol. I don't think I'm that mysterious.
So is this like standard self deprecation or are you committed to melancholy?
Cool, what kind of fish? You take that back, I saved that fish from certain death!
Crying and screaming, why? Are you crying/screaming? Because I'm not.
You have a brother! I got the impression that you were an only child for some reason... Maybe cause you're so full of yourself. I like your method! So, I'm getting that now you just wander around doing nothing?
I barely see anything when I leave the house, but that's probably because I live in a boring place/mind my own business.
What was it about Florence that made the biggest impression? Also, if you guess wrong, I won't kill you. Promise! I might just stop talking to you. :p Well, to me you are... slightly.
Does it have to be one or the other?
I don't know. My dad doesn't know. My brother doesn't know. I'll have to look them up later. Five of them look like sharks, two of them look like normal fish, and one of them barely swims around, sucking on the algae, apparently. I just searched that up and it says it's a Chinese Algea Eater. My brother left the first one in the car while he was at work and it died.
I will not. In fact, you've proven to be slightly worse than him in the fish maintenance department.
I deviated from my goal for a second cause I just had to say that.
I was just alluding to teamwork in general and how much I hate it. lol
You're not the first person to think I'm an only child and you probably won't be the last. lol. Yeah, pretty much.. except I don't wander; I stride purposefully thank you very much! I do plan to start training again but I've gotta lay down a bit of a foundation first due to old injuries and also shed a bit of flab. It feels like such hard work at the start though, especially when you remember doing certain things with ease and now they feel so difficult.
You're lucky, it's pretty crowded in my city and such a large proportion of the population seems to be uncouth and aggressive.
It was the feel of the place, I like the architecture and the ambiance. The food markets were amazing too being a bit of a foodie. The people all seemed cool, the weather, evenings on the roof terrace and you can hear the Italians at meal time being unmistakably Italian. I felt pretty tranquil when I was there.
Brain says Swizzy, intuition says Austria. But which to choose? lol
I suppose it could be both.
Look, I saved that fish's life, I know it, the fish knew it, and you know it too! lmao
I know, I was only kidding. Teamwork in itself is good, people make it suck.
Well, I guess it's also because you mentioned your mother and father right away, but it took you forever to mention your brother. Now, I wonder, why is that?
I can see you getting something to eat while striding purposefully.
Old injuries? What were you up to back then? Yea, don't get used to it; it's gonna get even worse. :p
At least it makes for something to write about. Though I'm very close to a certain city where I've seen some strange things/people...
Sounds nice. Unmistakably Italian? I'm guessing that means they were being loud or something?
I wasn't going to say anything if you guessed right. But since you guessed wrong, I'm going to say that your brain and intuition both suck. :p You had double the chance to get it right and you blew it.
I don't know that at all, and neither do you. :p The only one that really knew it was the fish itself. I guess it's something I'll always wonder about.
Teamwork sucks, it's all about individual achievement and kudos! Teams are just full of dithering freeloaders.
Don't read into that it's just the way it went. lol
Something fattening to eat AND something cavity inducing to wash it down with!
I was snapping my shit up.. various ligaments and tendons. So is this a city where aliens try and sell you death sticks? Yeah they were loud but somehow it's forgivable when it's in Italian.
I just had a look on the map thinking where else neighbors Italy? I suppose you could be Slovenian but since I blew it I guess I'll never know! :p You can't exactly blame my brain for sucking, it's been through a lot. I'm not sure what to say about my intuition though. lol.
I would call the fish as a witness if it wasn't such a logistical nightmare!
My point exactly, that people make it suck. If everyone worked hard, there would be more people, which means more brains, which leads to higher achievement than if you were to do it alone. ... Or something like that. :p
You should read more into things. I will explain why later.
It doesn't sound good, but I'm sure that's what makes it appealing for you. I can't really judge you for it though, since that's probably what I eat daily.
Where you doing this for fun?
Maybe, it hasn't happened to me yet, but you never know.
Yea, food does tend to make all creatures excited. I'm personally only a foodie for good food. I'd rather not eat than eat something I don't like. It's one of the reasons I prefer my native country.
Explanation time. If you notice, I said "sort of neighbors" before, which means not exactly neighbors, that eliminates Switzerland and Austria. So, I can blame your intuition for sucking, which is linked to your brain. :p Anyway, wrong again, but it is East of Italy.
Were*
But that achievement is shared so it's not as good! :p
I'm good at sussing stuff out, I've been described as "savvy" before but I do try hard to mask that.. as time goes on it's becoming easier and easier as the mask gets more comfortable and I get more stoopiderer! I try not to read into stuff though coz that can lead to getting the wrong end of the stick. These days I mostly take things as they come and live life perfunctorily.
I seem to crave what's bad for me, there's probably some subconscious self destruction going on! lol.
The actual climbing was awesome, the being injured was utter bullshit!
Pfff, have you seen how many countries are east of Italy? I'm frustrated with this now so I will throw a satisfying childish tantrum and put all my chips on you being from China. Now if you'll excuse me I have some foot stomping and writhing to do! lol
Remember what I've said before, or what I should have said before if I haven't already... It's not about you! :p
Sure, but not reading into things can also lead to getting the wrong end of the stick. It's probably best to be somewhere in between. lol At the risk of your head exploding... I can see the savviness. I know I've learned some words/phrases I haven't heard of before, apart from "stoopiderer," so I guess I should thank you for that. Why would you try to mask it? You should take it off immediately cause I'm imagining the movie The Man in the Iron Mask, and it's not pretty. :p
Really? Like what? O_O
Ohh, going to the gym is starting to seem just a bit more appealing. Were you ever close to dying?
Whatever, you're not supposed to know exactly where I'm from. I simply wanted to see what you would guess for... academic purposes. :p Take your time, cool off. I know being wrong is quite new for you. :p
It's ALL about me, to me! :p
Yeah the middle of the stick is where it's at, then you can twirl it like a baton! I want the explanation as to why
I should read more into things, or was still getting the wrong end of the stick the reason?
My head hasn't exploded but you're responsible for a few new fissures. I want "stoopiderer" to make it into the OED and I want the credit for it! I mask it because I think I'm overestimated sometimes and I don't like the pressure, what with my head being on the verge of exploding! Besides, the mask is an improvement! lol
These days it's mainly junk food and cigarettes, although I'll quit those things if I decide to get back into training.
I had one close call while I was "trad" climbing, so I gave that up and stuck to sport climbing and bouldering because they're a bit safer.
I think you threw me a red herring because "sort of" is easy to miss, it's like small print or something. I do have a hard time being wrong, hence the tantrum! :p
Oh, so to no one important then?
Maybe I could once I practiced! Well, it sort of was, but it feels wrong for the stick not to have a right end, so we'll go with reading into things being the better option. Plus, reading is always good, right? :p
I agree! How can we make this happen? Although I'm afraid it might bring out the stupid in people cause a few won't know how to spell it... I like the irony! What would its formal definition be?
Oh, well don't feel pressured to come up with new expressions because of me now. :p Don't worry, I believe all the bad things I say about you should heal those cracks right up and make it as new as a baby's brain! Or do I need to get meaner? You know, to help you out! I won't deny that I might also take some pleasure in it, so it's a win-win. ^_^ I would also suggest going to the hospital before this becomes the cause of your death and makes it on the news! o_o
At least you won't need to get dressed up for Halloween. What type of mask is it?
Hate cigarettes! Though I wasn't against taking a puff of it when I was like 7 years old...
Well... get descriptive. What happened?
If I made it too obvious you would have guessed it's not those three countries, or at least I hope you would have! Are you saying you don't read the small print? The smaller it is, the more reason to read it! Let this be a lesson.
I'm the most important person in my life so that's all that matters! :p
Get practicing! There's that "sort of" again! Reading is definitely good I can't argue with that, well I could but I don't wanna.. coz sleeeeepy!
Of course you do, how could you not? I think it just needs to make it into common parlance and they'll put it in, so use it as much as you can and I will do the same. I will think on the definition but for now we'll just go with "comparative adjective: more stoopid."
Being mean to heal the cracks and make it as new as a baby's brain is all good and well, but how do we make it as powerful?
But I want to go out in spectacular fashion!
Yeah I hate dressing up after an allergic reaction to some face paint back in the day, just going as me scares enough people anyway. You remember the mask from the film "The Mask".. well it's not that one! :p
Yeah, smoking repels a lot of people but in my book that's good! My buddy is an immunologist and he said recently I should really stop so I've been thinking about it.
Basically it was only my second time climbing outdoors, I went straight for something difficult because that's just what I'm like, I listened to nobody and I found out when I was up there how it's possible to fall off and how true "you don't want to fall from there" was. Long story short I battled through and made it without falling off but I really did think I was gonna bite the dust, never had my senses been so heightened! It did make me realize life is kinda precious. A buddy died in Yosemite a couple of years ago and it left a bit of a hole in my life, the contrast and the realization you'll never see that person again are what hits you.
I would hope so too! lol. I have someone else read the small print usually!
Oh, so what you're saying is it doesn't really matter at all then? lol
I should... tomorrow! I somehow knew you would at least be thinking that, but, you should know, there is a purpose to my vagueness. You're sleepy? Thanks for the warning. I won't be expecting you to make sense in the upcoming comments.
Fine! I'll risk sounding like an idiot for you, but I expect to get a quarter of the credit! Extra small print of my name will do just fine. People won't be able to read it anyway, so it's not asking for much. :p Since it's "stoopider... er," wouldn't the comparative adjective be somewhere along the lines of "more than more stoopid"?
As powerful as a baby's brain or as powerful as your brain is now? ... I'm guessing you means the former, but just making sure because there is a difference.
I think that would be a perfectly spectacular way to go out considering it has never happened before. Your name would forever be remembered as the person who's brain exploded from being so...
... smart that he got never-ending compliments.
I only ever dressed up once for Halloween. Other times I always stayed in the house giving kids candy for... reasons. :p You look that bad, huh? ... I really wish I had that effect. Seems interesting!
I can handle people who smoke, so it doesn't repel me, I just don't like it for other reasons. That's all he said? I could have told you that! ... Did he run some tests on you or something?
You went from making me subtly smile with that "life is precious" crap to making me slightly gloomy with the death of your friend story. But, yea, I can relate. The only person that's died in my life so far is my grandpa. My other grandpa died five days before I was born, so it doesn't affect me as much, though I still shed a tear over it once when I was young. It's quite stupid. Anyway, so you need to actually do something in order to realize it's not smart. lol Not a sign of healthy brain activity. :p
Ah, a personal assistant?
It matters a great deal, you know if I wasnโt around the sun wouldnโt even come up tomorrow!
Messaging you was the last thing I did last night, then I conked out, after brushing my nashers of course. I wonder what the purpose behind the vagueness is. Iโm usually pretty vague with people but in my case itโs because I donโt think they deserve (or can be trusted with) more accurate information!
You will sound like a genius, also you will get 12.5% and like it! The extra โerโ is just there for added silliness/irony but I suppose you are correct.
I did indeed mean the former and yes there is a difference, but the difference is not in my favor.
When I pop my clogs I want it to be on the news and Iโd also like a minute of silence observed around the world, annually, on the anniversary, weeping is compulsory! I donโt think thatโs too much to ask.
You donโt like the actual smoke or what it could do to you? He told me if I quit now I should have the same life expectancy as a non-smoker, so I suppose itโs tempting. He also said that out of all the stuff you can do (he knows about the all the stuff I used to get up to) smoking is the worst lifestyle choice of all of them.
I wasnโt really that close to my grandparents but I was sad when they snuffed it, that sadness was more for them and my parents though I suppose.
Yeah, I can only learn through antecedent stimulus! :p
I just pass it on to a buddy, Iโve been working in media though and those contracts are apparently not worth the paper theyโre written on :/ lmao
I don't know if I believe you, but I'm not gonna question it. :p If this is the case though, you need to stop smoking for the good of all man/womankind. Out of curiosity, where would the sun go? And how was the sun around when you weren't born? So many questions to ask!
I figured that. No, I don't think you're undeserving of information. You could be untrustworthy for some of it, but I don't know about that yet. I'm just not always in the mood to fully explain something, so I tell part of it and the rest remains a mystery.
You know, someone asked yesterday if they were stupid on here and I was going to correct them, but I wasn't sure of the grammatical rules yet. You really need to come up with them and inform me. Or is your goal to get rid of the word "stupid" completely? Fine. I'll get 12.5, but I will not like it! I might like it if you bump it up to 12.6% just so I can feel like I had some say in it. :p
Why is the difference not in your favor?
What happens if we don't obey? I'm gonna need some eye drops or one of those menthol tear sticks then. What would you like for us to think on that moment of silence? Do they have to be good thoughts?
I don't like the fact that people choose to put smoke in their system when it's completely unnecessary. I also don't like that people allow some bastards to make money off of their stupidity... not that you're stupid. :p What makes it worse, cause it's done more consistently?
Why weren't you close to them? I'm the closest to my grandma from my mother's side. I would always go to her for help when I knew my mom would yell at me about something I'd done if I told her. My parents, especially my dad, were very strict.
I don't know how you've made it this far in life!
You should've passed this conversation onto your buddy then. He might have noticed the "kind of."
I think it would just cease to exist along with everything else. I'll give up the cigarettes and maybe just vape a bit of weed! :p
I would consider myself trustworthy. Having said that I understand you feeling that way because that's how I am with people and it takes a long time before I trust someone. Sometimes I am in the mood for mysteries! lol
Hmm, I suppose we'd keep stupid and maybe describe "stoopiderer" as slang. That way we could steal the grammatical rules that apply to "stupider". Damn I'm good! As a good gesture of business I am prepared to concede.1%
I think babies have more powerful brains than I do! :p
I recommend onions! People who don't obey will pay the ultimate sacrifice.. they will be frowned upon!
I agree with you smoking is stupid. I expect it's because it's the most consistent habit but then again alcoholism is lethal in the end and that's pretty consistent too. So I don't know. Maybe I'll ask him when I next see him...
I'll probably get an interesting scientific answer.
It must be awesome to be close to a grandparent. I never saw mine much coz the family just weren't that close. It's not like I never saw them at all but I think it was less than other people's families. Do you think strictness is a negative thing? My brother's kids are sweet and everything but I think he gives in too easily with them sometimes.
Neither do I, I put it down to amazing fluke!
I doubt that, he's not exactly a professional. lol
That's a very vague answer, so you haven't really convinced me. :p I guess I'll just have to kill you and find out for myself. It's for research, so hopefully it won't be considered illegal. You would not!
I'm sure that's what everyone says! I mean you do seem trustworthy, but you've said that you're skilled in the art of deception, so I'm probably being fooled. :p
Don't give yourself such encouragement! I'm starting to think your the biggest reason for the cracks in your brain.
Most likely, no offense. If I'm making your brain as new as a baby's, wouldn't that mean it's also as powerful? I can't think of something that's as new as something similar to it, but not as powerful. Can you?
But then I'd have to take onions with me wherever I go that day, or I'd have to stay inside... which would most likely mean skipping the moment of silence. Though I probably shouldn't tell you that... O_O
So, then, why do you smoke? Maybe he wasn't taking alcohol into account, since it's not...
... something you're addicted to, I'm assuming. Plus, maybe that makes alcohol the second worst habit.
It's pretty awesome, though it can get annoying, especially this summer. My grandma kept asking me nonstop if I wanted something to eat. When I would decline, she would comment that I'm never eating with this worried look on her face, which would kind of crack me up. Then I would try to reason with her that I eat just enough, as I'm normal weight, bla, bla, bla... I think I wasted countless of hours explaining this to her over the summer. Maybe they just have nothing better to do at their age... lol
I don't think strictness is a negative thing, I just think my parents went over the top at times back then. It was bad, but it hasn't really had any huge effect on me, I think. My big brother and I were pretty much given the same punishments, but we were still completely different during our teenage years. My parents were way more lenient with my little brother, for reasons that are...
... complicated to get into, and he's more like me anyway. So I'm not sure if it really changes the way a kid turns out to be too much.
Bring it on! Want a fight? Want a WIZARDโS DUEL? I will be looking over my shoulder from now on just in case. I would not what? Even though I donโt know what youโre referring to my reaction is the same: I would!
Alright, I confess! Given half the chance I would steal your identity and use your bank details to order.. stuff.
The idea of my actual brain being cracked is worse than the idea of cracks in the skull, it makes me picture my brain as a desiccated walnut or something, which probably isnโt far from the truth.
Thatโs assuming the damage done is fully reversible and youโre not just papering over the cracks, Iโd have concerns over potential flaws in structural integrity and a knock-on effect on performance. If you could pull it off are you sure me having an even more powerful brain would be a good thing? :p
I donโt smoke, me and cigarettes are over.
You get annoyed when someone advises you to eat more? I would be delighted! Especially if they fed me. lol
When I saw my grandparents it was all about keeping up appearances, if you let manners slip for a second my mother would be fuming and thereโd be a bad atmosphere in the house for days. So it was all a bit false if you know what I mean. In what ways were you different to your big brother? I was totally different to mine in my teenage years in that he was well behaved and I was just a rebel. Apparently as infants it was the other way round though. I think it depends on the kid, I know some people who grew up in fairly strict families and they lost their shit once they got their freedom!
Sure, I think I could take you. I'm experienced, I've fought with my brothers millions of times.
Oh you would make out with a pig? ... I was replying to your weed comment, by the way.
See, it's not so tough to be honest. :p What kind of "stuff"?
I like desiccated walnuts, so it's better from my perspective! I'm starting to sound like a zombie, but I'm not one, I promise!
No, going to the hospital to fix your problem would be papering over the cracks. I like to get to the root of the problem. :p Although now you're starting to make me reconsider.
Yes, I do. I don't like being told what to do, even if it's for my own benefit, though that doesn't always mean I don't listen eventually. Trust me, anything can get annoying when it goes over the top. No one knows how to feed me better than my own hands, so that's not appealing either. :p It would probably get frustrating for me fast. Most importantly, I really missed the food, so I wanted to eat out as much as I could before I came...
... back here and it was back to McDonald's, etc. ;_; My mom already makes anything my grandma can make so I wan't missing much in that department.
Did your mother want you to keep up appearances with her parents as well or just your father's parents? Your mother sounds harsh. I know what you mean though, I always had to keep up appearances with my dad's side of the family. Not because my mom wanted us to, but because they were more strict in general. It's probably why I prefer my mom's family more.
My brother was the rebel and I was the well-behaved one. He got involved with pretty bad friends and would stay out extremely late. My dad didn't approve, so it caused a lot of problems for the family. I was the type that would come straight home, so my parents never had to worry about what I was up to. I'd want to go out once in a looong while, but I knew my dad would say no, and I didn't want to deal with it cause I knew it would end in a fight. Don't get me wrong though, he's a...
... great dad. He's just too overprotective. You and I were pretty much the opposite then. lol
Oh, I forgot, what changed your mind about the smoking thing and is it really that easy to just give it up?
You probably couldโฆ in your dreams! :p
Donโt get me wrong, I like pigs but I wouldnโt make out with oneโฆ unless it was pretty damn charming! I would vaporize some marijuanaโฆ if only I had some weed and a vaporizer, itโs just a good thing Iโm too lazy to get themโฆ oh the irony!
It would probably just end up being pizza.
Sounds more like a zombie squirrel to me, thatโs the worst kind of zombie there is!
Whatโs the root of the problem?
I didnโt literally mean feed, I meant be cooked forโฆ but I suppose the same still applies? I like my own cooking the best.
So you ate at a lot of restaurants while you were on vacation? What do you like to eat besides desiccated walnuts?
She probably couldnโt have cared less what my dadโs parents thought, it was just with her parents. My motherโs side of the family was quite well-to-do so I guess thatโs why. I didnโt really have a preference between the grandparents.
Yeah I went through all that stuff, got expelled from school etc. I actually managed to pull off climbing out of my bedroom window and across the garage roof then down onto the street without getting caughtโฆ I was quite canny with stuff like that. My parents were suspicious of some of my activities but only ever had weak circumstantial evidence!
I imagine it must be difficult, if I was a father Iโd probably feel more protective over a daughter and just let a son roam free in the wilderness.
Well I havenโt had a cigarette today, Iโm pretty relaxed about it so far so weโll see where it goes. The easiest way to stop doing something is to stop doing it. I duno, I was going to buy some but then I thought theyโre bullshit and I donโt wanna spend the money on bullshit. lol
... and out of them.
Too late, you already said you would. What would it require for it to be charming to you? I'm thinking a tutu...
Who knew there was an upside to laziness?
You think I have enough money for only one pizza? Unless it's a hundred pizzas, then you're not taking full advantage of the opportunity. :p
Yes, I am a squirrel that has turned into a zombie due to some non-contagious virus.
The root of the problem is the compliments given. If insulted, it should have a reversible effect. :p
Ah, okay. Well, she did offer to cook for me, and deep, deep down it was tempting to let her, but I'm not that cruel. I typically only eat from someone else if they make something for everyone, not just me. Someone having to get up and cook just for me feels weird. You're a good cook?
I actually ate no walnuts; it was a difficult time for me.
Yea, but only a few times were they expensive restaurants. I just like the way they make hamburgers, pizzas, and these things called...
... qyfte/qebapa, which might give a hint as to where I'm from, but whatever.
Huh, I thought it would be the opposite. I can't imagine having to put up a front with my own parents even if they were wealthy.
I hated my brother for the things he put my parents through. I don't know how I feel about you right now... :p Did your parents care as much about what you were up to?
That's what made me most angry, that my brother was free to do way more than I could just because he's a guy. I got the reason behind it, but that didn't get rid of the anger. It's a good thing I didn't really want to go out much anyway.
How are you doing now? I'll try to remember that phrase next time I want to quit doing something.
โCome and have a go if you think you're hard enoughโ springs to mind!
Makes me picture Miss Piggy. It would have to have exquisite table manners, witty banter, interest in current affairs and impeccable hygiene.
I did!
I said โpizzaโ, not โa pizzaโ. Rinsing the account on 100 pizzas would be tempting, but think of the state Iโd be in after 100 pizzas! Thatโs a bit of a poison chalice. So Iโll just order one and that should also trivialize it for the fraud investigators and make their job as mundane as possible.
Iโve known it all along frankly. lol
Maybe. Hopefully I wouldnโt have a brilliant comeback, that might kill me instantly.
Youโre probably right, itโs usually me who ends up doing the cooking anyway. I get bigged up for my cooking.
Think about it this way, your walnut tolerance will have gone down so when you next have some youโll need fewer to get the same effect. I like that kind of food when itโs done well. So youโre from Albania?
Na, it was a strange upbringing tbh. My brother doesnโt bother putting up a front with our parents, I donโt think it would be possible in the wake of chaos created by the children.
I donโt think my parents were ever that concerned, they had their own problems. I didnโt get into trouble to get attention, because I never intended to get caughtโฆ I just knew that if I did it wouldnโt be too bad and I took advantage of thatโฆ sometimes I made a handsome profit!
I can understand that although obviously I never had to experience it. I never really spent that much time at home, Iโd sit and play playstation sometimes but I knew quite a few people close by so I was usually up to something.
I think Iโve experienced a bit of craving, itโs basically quite a strong urge for a cup of tea and a cigarette.. I substitute the cigarette with a chocolate biscuit. lol
Challenge accepted. Though I'm very stealthy so you'll never see it coming. :p
So, Miss Piggy is your type, huh? Don't you think those standards are too high for a human, let alone a pig? :p You're never gonna get to make out with a piggy with that attitude!
I actually do too... from personal experience.
I know, but I also figured you didn't mean more than one or two pizzas. So, as I also knew you wouldn't have the opportunity for too long, I thought I'd suggest another possibility. ... I thought you could handle 100 pizzas or I would have gone higher. :p
What gave it away? Was it my love for walnuts?
I know what I'm doing. You'll be just fine... Though I'm feeling conflicted. Here I am trying to save your brain from exploding, but elsewhere I'm threatening to kill you. I suppose I could do both...
When do you usually end up doing the cooking? Also, did you learn from someone?
Can't say. Now on to the next topic.
My parents had their own problems, but they cared a lot! ...
... I guess your behavior is kind of, just kind of, excusable since your parents didn't. Though even if they did, I'm sure you would've still acted the same. People and their selfishness... :p
Do you like coffee? ... Just asking cause...
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a zombie squirrel then! :p
Na, I couldn't put up with her shit. You know I have high expectations, I suppose I'll be waiting a while before I find a piggy with high enough standards to make out with :( lmao
Win!
I suppose I could order 100 pizzas and feed the homeless, I'd probably get on the news doing that. I'd have to think about what to use the publicity for.
Yeah, they're like catnip to squirrels.
That sounds like a roller coaster ride to me!
Usually it's round my place, family things with my brother, when friends cook they rope me in coz they know I'm good at it. I taught myself, it's not too difficult if you're interested enough.
I will take that as a yes.
I suppose mine cared but they weren't concerned if that makes sense. If they were I probably wouldn't have gone as far with some things. Hey, after that 100 pizza giveaway I'll be labeled a philanthropist!
I drink it occasionally. Why?
Yea, you do that! Don't look out for a human... because I'm not one!
I think she is just lovely and you would be lucky to have a pig like her. In fact, I think you should worry whether she would want you.
How is that a win? lol
Using someone else's money to help others, that is truly admirable. Most people would keep it for themselves, but you, you're different!
You should use the publicity to thank the person that got you there... uh, me.
Would you say that you enjoy roller coaster rides?
I know, just wondering. Some students and I had to make empanadas, I think they were called, for a Spanish class in High School, and not to brag, but mine seemed to be liked the most, since there were none left by the end. My family liked them too, which is saying a lot since they're so picky. Other than that I've only ever cooked the usual. It's not that I don't enjoy cooking, I'd just rather do other things. lol What kind of food you like?
You can take that any way you want.
I'm trying to figure out what kind of parents you had, but it's pretty difficult. That reminds me, why were you expelled from school?
An arrested philanthropist! :p
Well, I said just cause, but I'll explain. You kept mentioning tea, but you never mentioned coffee, which got me thinking that you don't like it as much, and I don't really like it either... so, that's it.
I'll have to train a crack team of bodyguard squirrels, I'm on pretty good terms with the one who lives in my garden so I'll start there.
She does seem kinda choosy. sniff.
I think lazing around is winning.
I'm such an altruist it's hard to believe I know! I'd be sure to credit you, along with my parents, agent and Jayzus Christ.. all with fake tears streaming down my cheeks as I fain humbleness.
Yes, but I haven't been on one for quite some time.
Sounds like you might have some culinary flare. I enjoy the process as well as the end result, I find starting off with ingredients and ending up with a plate of something tasty is pretty fulfilling. I like all kinds of food really, I've been through various phases and I'm looking for the next thing.
I think that's a yes even more now! :p
I don't think you could really categorize my parents. It was for being too disruptive, they got rid of my partner in crime first, we did the same things but he was less tactful than I was...
... so he got the boot first. They thought taking one of us out of the equation would be enough but they underestimated my influence, the school was just as bad after we both left actually, I like to think I made my mark.
I'm a political prisoner duuuuude!
For every one cup of coffee I probably drink a hundred cups of tea!
I'm a squirrel and I'm not in good terms with any of my kind! ;_; How do you do it? I've tried catching them several times, but you can't force friendship.
That's something only a lazy person would say and agree with. ... Obviously I agree.
Surely there is more to be thankful for. What about the homeless people for existing and accepting the distribution of the pizza?
I, on the other hand, will be sure to show the public your "fake tears and fain humbleness" comment.
You won't like this one; it leads to death.
It'd be fulfilling for me as well... once I got to eat it. Do the things you make look appealing? Because that is very important, in my opinion. I tend to eat the same things over and over. I don't like trying new things because most times I end up not liking them, though I have developed a fondness for shrimp lately.
You can think whatever you want. :p Now drop it.
You made them seem too negligent at first, but the more we got into it, the more I got confused about...
... them. I imagine they were neither horrible nor great. What kind of things were you up to?
Right, something to be proud of, I suppose.
And how many cups of tea do you drink in a day? I love certain types of tea! I've only ever taken sips of coffee now and then hoping one day I'll like it enough to crave it, but nope.
You can't force friendship, but you can buy it... with nuts!
The homeless don't get any credit, they're just a means to an end. I'm sure they'd probably all prefer to have money.
The ultimate end for all of us is death anyway. I hope it's a longish rollercoaster with lots of excitement and near-misses, otherwise it'd be a waste of time and money.
I guess they do, I wouldn't eat them otherwise lol. You sound like a fussy eater! How do you take your shrimp?
They were negligent with some things and there were definitely some horrible times, I just don't think they realized, plus my brother and I were pretty resilient. There was enough stuff for my brother to talk about not making the same mistakes with his kids, obviously this was something he said to me and not our parents. It wasn't all bad though. So yeah, neither horrible nor great.
I used to hang out with the wrong crowd, we got up to all sorts.
I drink 4, sometimes 5 cups of tea a day. When I have coffee it's gotta be good coffee, none of that instant shit!
But I want the nuts all to myself! Plus, I have found that if you offer them nuts, they use you until they bleed you dry, and leave.
But you're thanking me and I'm no more than a means to an end to you in this little scenario. Of course they would, but they don't, therefore are useful to you. Personally, I think you should thank them one by one.
Yea, everyone bites the dust sooner or later, you'll just be ahead of the game in that aspect. :p I'll try to drag it out for you as long as I can, though I'm not sure you're gonna want me to. Suffice it to say that it won't be as fun as a roller coaster ride.
The appeal can also depend on the arrangement of the food, etc., you know. I am, but I'm not. It's, not hard, but long to explain.
Many ways really, but I do like grilled shrimp the most. It's kind of funny cause the first time I ever tried shrimp, I threw it out of my mouth.
What would you change and keep the same about them?
So, the expulsion came to be after many faults, not just one extreme wrongdoing?
That's a lot, you're crazy! ... Although, I don't think I would mind drinking that many either if someone made it for me, but my little brother is a jerk. :p Do you drink anything else?
Sounds like you got played by those squirrels! The one in my garden comes close but wonโt take food from the hand yet, because Iโm not around enough. When I was a kid there was one in the garden I could feed by hand.
I donโt think they earned it, thanking them one by one would detract from what itโs all about... me! But maybe Iโm missing a trick in terms of reverse psychology.
Youโre not really selling it, Iโve had better offers of assassination! :p
Yeah, I know. I always arrange the alphabetti spaghetti in order! Do you keep โem in the shell when you grill โem and do you brush on a marinade? That reminds me of something I saw at school once, this kid hated whatever it was he tried and instead of spitting it out he reached in, grabbed the morsel and chucked it, it was like his mouth was paralyzed with disgust! lol. Your palate changes as you get older so maybe thatโs responsible, that or you just had badly cooked shrimps the first time.
Iโd probably turn them into midgets and laugh at them. Their communication skills leave something to be desired and that leads to funny (to me) arguments so Iโd keep that the same.
I think the final straw was when they suspected me of selling various types of contraband, I was their prime suspect but they never had proof and nobody talked. But there was a long list of offences.
I am not! Itโs everyone else whoโs crackers! Making it is part of the experience, itโs a period of time where all youโre doing is making a cup of tea, itโs lazy, itโs good! Itโs mainly tea but also water, juice, sometimes coke or some other fizzy drink like ginger beerโฆ I recently rediscovered orangina too, occasionally coffee.
I assume it was my fault cause I would just arrange the peanuts on the ground in the backyard and leave. When I'd come back, the nuts would be gone/peeled. I have fed/taken care of plenty of stray cats while in Europe, but I barely ever see any here, ;_; which adds to the list of reasons I prefer to live over there.
I must be missing this trick too...
You've had offers of assassination? ... The difference is that this isn't an offer and I will not fail, as they obviously have. :p
You can't be serious! ... about arranging the alphabetti spaghetti in order, that is.
Oh, this reminds me that I've also cooked shrimp once. My family barely ever eats any seafood other than fish. Shrimp intrigued my curiosity, so I asked my mom to buy some so we could switch it up a bit. I looked up a recipe online and I cooked them. I think the shells were already removed and I don't think I used marinade. My big brother always likes to try new food, so he had shrimp before I made them. Anyway, he...
... ended up liking them and I didn't. Since he liked them, I don't think the problem was my cooking, I just tend to be very judgmental of new food at first. I mean they looked interesting, but they also looked weird. lol Other than that I've only had shrimp like a total of 5 times at restaurants. I think I might start cooking them again now though.
lol My parents don't fight much, but they've had some serious fights over (mostly) silly things before and I've rarely found it to be funny. I would actually worry that they might split up, which was ridiculous because everyone fights at times. Now I don't take it as seriously cause I'm pretty sure they never will. I just hope I didn't jinx it just now. :p
So, it was you who was selling them? o_O
How did you start drinking tea so much? You're making it sound more appealing than it actually is. Maybe I just need to change my perspective. I barely ever drink water. ... I should, but I won't, sadly.
Did you arrange them in any particular way? lol. The animals in my neighborhood were lairy, I remember hanging up a thing to feed the birds, going back inside and watching, then seeing a squirrel climb up the tree and bite through the wire used to attach it and run off with it.. when they ate your food they did it in front of you! I've never been sure about cats, I'm severely allergic to them anyways.
If you stand there and selflessly credit other people, people dig that and it makes you more popular. Maybe that's not strictly reverse psychology though.
I picture myself being murdered in a hotel full of guests who all have it in for me, you being the culprit in the end... it'd turn into a brilliant murder mystery!
I actually felt compelled to do it once and there wasn't really anything to stop me so I just went ahead and did it, it made me happy for some reason.
I suppose I've been open to trying new foods for a while, I was curious when I was in my teens to know...
... what different things tasted like. I know what you mean, when I think about it objectively some food does look weird, shellfish in particular. I went to Bubba Gump shrimp when I was in NY, that was some good shit! Yes do it! Cooking is a good thing!
Dramas over trivial shit were common in my house, if you're used to it you start to see it as cabaret!
What, me? No. Never!
I don't know I just like it, it's my panacea! lol. So how do you stay hydrated?
Well, we have slanted wooden tiles and I would arrange the nuts in a line, with equal distance between them, on a tile leading to the door, to trick them into getting closer. lol I've liked cats for as long as I can remember! I had one when I was little and I would follow it around everywhere, even under the kitchen table. My dad eventually got rid of it and lied to me about it. I'm still not completely over that. :p How did you find out you were allergic to them?
No, perhaps not strictly. Can't even thank a bunch of people without wanting something in return. smh
It sounds like something I would do. :p Who would I play as? Also, why do they have it in for you? Did I frame you for stealing all the towels? A hotel stay gone wrong... Just brilliant and totally original!
So, at a time when your life was in chaos, your only source of happiness came from your attempt to create order through the arrangement of alphabetti spaghetti. :p Makes sense.
Weird still piques my curiosity. Disgusting does not. Shrimp fell into the weird category. Shellfish I'm not so sure about... Do you like them?
I've never been to NY, so I wouldn't know.
Pretty common in my house too, but I guess I just take things more seriously.
You. Yes, always! ... You were an idiot!
You don't know? Where have you been all your life? I don't drink much in general. The only times I need to drink is when I'm eating something or when it's extremely hot. I like Sprite, peach Ice Tea, peach juice, Pepsi here/Coke in Europe because they taste different, and that's basically it.
I'm absolutely shattered, this will be the last thing I do before glorious sleep. You needed a nut on a little bit of string so you could draw it closer and closer! I have a friend who's father got rid of their pet but that's a story for another time. I discovered I was allergic when I went round a friend's house and started itching and wheezing, eyes swelled up like a mofo.. strictly speaking I found out when it happened again and cats being around were the common factor.
Since I don't think they deserve thanks I'll find a silver lining in giving it to them!
My brain is empty so I'll get back to the curious killing of me tomorrow.
I don't know why I wanted to do that and why it pleased me so much, it may have something to do with control and order.. I feel I should be speaking to you while sat on a chaise longue sometimes! :p
What foods do you really dislike and consider disgusting? I like shellfish but only when I cook it at home or in a really good restaurant.
You taking things more seriously than I do probably isn't a bad thing. lol
I was a criminal mastermind!
I reckon the tea thing just became a habit that got out of control. You don't get thirsty? You just reminded me of peach ice tea, that was THE drink in Venezuela, I shall have to get some!
Night night!
I had a good nights sleep and an easy day at work which included a massive lunch and early finish. I have decided you'd play the the investigative journalist.. smart and totally capable of framing someone for towel thievery! :p The other guests all bear a grudge for one reason or another, I'm just so misunderstood! lol
Hard day yesterday?
Well, like I said earlier, I wasn't really planning on waiting around for them, I just thought I'd see them when I see them. But I'll definitely try that soon. If it doesn't work, since my squirrels seem to be sneakier, you'll have to pay. :p
Now is another time, so go ahead. Tell me.
But is it really the cats? :/ I mean let's think logically here, there could have been another common factor that you weren't aware of. Think very hard!
So you're trying to find a silver lining since you're thanking them, not thanking them because you found a silver lining?
First cracked, now empty. You have a lot of brain issues.
Interesting, I thought you'd make me the maid or something. The maid would've had an easier time framing you for the towels, but the investigative journalist would never be suspected... I like it!
Go ahead and sit on a chaise longue, no one is stopping you. Just kidding. ... Let me just get a comfy chair and some glasses, then we can really...
... discuss all of your issues.
I guess it depends more on the way the food is made than what the food actually is, but, in general, I do hate tacos, I've tried sushi cause it looked interesting, but I didn't like it, etc, etc.
You don't really think that...
Right, that's why you got expelled. What do you consider yourself to be now?
Oh, goody. More types of tea added to your daily fluid intake, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it. Anyway, peach ice tea is what I drink probably 4 to 5 times a day of! I guess I don't get dehydrated much... If I drink without eating anything, I can usually only take a few tiny gulps. So, I pretty much can't do one without the other.
Well, you've certainly been around. Maybe I should ask you where in the world you haven't been and make things easier for all of us. :p
Yesterday was tough, I had a lot on my plate and all without a single snout! lol
I think you were just a bit too casual for the squirrels, they like to feel special, you know? If it doesn't work I'll compensate you for the string and the nut. So this is my buddy's girlfriend but I spose she still categorizes as a friend.. she grew up in Greece and they kept chickens for the eggs but they also had a cockerel which she happened to be quite fond of but her father didn't like.. it was literally a case of eating chicken for dinner and wondering where it had gone, then realizing!
It's definitely cats and the allergy is bad enough that I don't even have to touch them, they've just gotta be near. So if I ever got one it'd have to be one like Mr Bigglesworth.
I was only thanking them at your behest, instead of digging my heals in I decided to look for a reason to justify it to myself then take the easy path! :p
Tell me about it, I've been brushing up on some stuff in the quest for self improvement... when trying to digest something or figure something out; I get a fuzzy feeling in my head and the entire thought process grinds to a halt, followed by vacantly starring and something for a while, followed by frustration that I did this to myself! lol
I did consider casting you as the maid but it just wasn't right, I have a feeling for these things having been involved in casting.
Better get a box of tissues ready, I will weep as I tell my sob-story! lol
Do you think it makes a difference who actually makes it as well? I've never eaten a taco, but I ate a burrito once and it was disgusting.. probably coz it's mexican fastfood and I'm nowhere near mexico.
I don't really think what?
Well they never proved anything! I feel like a washed up rockstar or something. lol
Yeah I'm afraid you might have started something, I'll probably be drinking a lot of it for a while. The list of places I've been..
... is long. lol
Are you British or something? You keep using British terms, but maybe that's only because you seem to know a lot of terms...
By snout I'm guessing you mean a cigarette, in which case, good job!
But they're not special. You want me to pretend? :p I just thought it'd take longer for a squirrel to comply than it does a cat, and I was busy at the time. As much as I care about a string and a nut... you're not gonna compensate me for the time spent?
That's harsh! I thought my story was bad...
Ew, no one wants that type of cat. You're missing out on a lot in life. I mean I'm a bit allergic to the sun and you don't see me avoiding it! :p
So this quest isn't going too well then?
Why wasn't it right? I am perfectly capable of playing the role of a maid.
Getting a box of tissues is your job as we can only communicate through the internet. But I will pretend to care as I ask worriedly, "And how do you feel about that?"
Of course that makes a difference. Some people suck at it, some...
... people don't care to make something right. I hate burritos as well, the meat is just... Yuck.
You know, when I can't remember what the conversation was about, I just go back to the previous comments. But I guess I can make it harder on myself and be more specific from now on. :p Here we go: you don't really think that me being more serious than you is a good thing...
The fact that you got expelled even though they couldn't prove anything makes it even worse... Maybe.
It's not so bad if you don't drink regular tea as often as before, but you probably will.
Is there a reason you travel so much?
I do know a lot of terms! Can't say. Now on to the next topic. :p
Yes, I think it's necessary to be sycophantic where squirrels are concerned lol. I don't know how I could compensate you, I can't give you time back because I'm not a time lord, unfortunately :(
Yeah, her dad was a tough man by all accounts.
I think they're funny, they look perpetually pissed off like they know they're naked and that people made them that way... lmao. Like I said I've never been sure about cats, so I don't feel like I'm missing much. Plus I was round someone's house once, the cat threw up and then ate it's own vomit, apparently used to bring rats in as well, I wouldn't want that kind of nuisance. lol. By the way, how are the fish?
Let me put it this way; it could be going better! But then I have high expectations.
I didn't say you weren't capable, I'm sure you are, but I just don't get a single servile vibe off of you. :p
Tissues not included eh? I'll just use my sleeve :/ haha
I look back too, I failed this time though. Unless you take everything too seriously it's probably not a bad thing. Although, believe it or not, I'm getting more serious as the years trundle on.
I had an option to stay which I didn't take, so I was expelled.
I'll probably die of a heart attack due to too much caffeine, but it'll be worth it!
Na, I just like to see the planet.
Oh yeah, snout does mean cigarette.. it's been like 2 or 3 days now.. I am the master of my own world!
lol Am I supposed to assume that's a yes now?
Yea, it is and the effort put in is not worth the end result in most cases, probably. Well, as they say, time is money, so $5 will suffice.
I'm sure they do, and it probably doesn't help them feel better when people like you laugh at them! :p None of the cats I've had the pleasure of encountering have done anything like that. This summer a cat's leg got, apparently, run over by a car and it kept meowing around the neighborhood. I tried to help it for a while after I realized there were maggots on its leg. My cousin and I went to a pharmacy and asked what I needed to buy to help it. I bought the medicine they suggested and put it on its leg and wrapped it, which was tough cause all my cousins are such scaredy cats, so I had to do it pretty much on my own while the cat wouldn't hold still. The next day when I saw it the bandage was basically off. So, I tried just putting the medicine on it a few times a day while keeping my distance...
... cause, even though I did wash my hands, my aunt was worried that I'd catch something from it. Anyway, the maggots didn't seem to be reducing, and after a while I didn't see it around anymore. ๐
My mom informed me that one of the fish died a couple of days ago... The others are impeccably swimming their life away so far.
What are your expectations?
I'm not sure why, but I feel extremely offended. :p I think that makes me even more suitable for the role. Do you think maids enjoy their job? Highly doubtful! I am the only one truly capable of serving someone with just the right grumpy look/fake smile on my face. As a side note, I just served my dad food about half an hour ago!
That's fine with me, it's not like I have to touch you.
I believe that, but why?
What was the alternative of expulsion?
As long as you drink the same amount of water, you should be okay. lol Or you could try reducing the amount you drink, it shouldn't be any harder than giving up smoking.
You can assume what you like!
When I think about it youโre probably right, but thatโs because Iโm feeling a bit deflated for some reason, probably lack of nicotine. lol. You get $2. :p
Theyโll just have to suck it up! Cats are pretty notorious for bringing in all kinds of dead animals, also I worry about their effect on the local ecology, but I canโt exactly do anything about it so Iโll just have to let it go. I donโt like to see animals suffer, so that sounds pretty grim. ๏ It sounds like you did what you could though and your efforts are commendable in my eyes- a rare feat, congratulations! So thereโs both bad and good news on the fish front, Iโm glad there are survivors!
I want to be clever, knowledgeable, well-read and well-traveled, and moderately wealthy.. but at the same time Iโd like to keep whatโs left of my soul intact.. those are high expectations!
Good! :p I think you may be capable of the faรงade at home, but if you had to earn a crust that way.. the clientele might be in danger! What did you serve?
I think focus and taking the right things seriously is good because if you donโt; youโll be disadvantaged later and youโll have to work harder to get what you want.
I got offered a lengthy spell of internal suspension.
Iโm not gonna lie I do feel more anxious and pissed off without cigarettes, but thatโs actually whatโs spurring me on. I think I might switch to drinking mostly green tea, that way Iโm allowed 4-6 cups of tea a day and it might actually be good for me.. everyoneโs a winner, and by everyone, I mean me! lol
Yea, yea. Since when do you not hand out information about yourself?
Are you saying you only think I'm right because of the lack of nicotine in your system? I'm liking this you, it thinks better. :p
That should do, my time isn't worth much till school starts anyway.
What are their effects on the "local ecology"? What would you do about it if you could? ๐ I wonder what happened to it... But it was probably better off dead anyway. Thanks, I really feel like I've accomplished something in life now.
Yup, more good than bad news. I don't know why it died, but I did notice that it barely ever ate, so that might've had something to do with it. Some creatures are so stupid.
So, this is like a never ending quest. Sounds intriguing! The only quests I take on are Skyrim's. :p
I'm pretty sure I'd be a threat to my own life as well. I served my specialty... Eggs!
This brings up a point I didn't make about disappointment. You said you don't feel it because you keep trying till you achieve...
... something, but I think there are instances where you can't keep trying because you're out of chances/time. Anyway, I can't argue with that. I might classify as being too serious in general though.
And you decided suspension was worse... Did you have to transfer schools?
How is that spurring you on? You enjoy feeling anxious and pissed off?
I don't like green tea! ... But this isn't about me, it's about you! So, yea, good idea.
It's probably good to leave some things to the imagination.
Yeah, I'm not as bright eyed and bushy tailed as usual so I'm more inclined to go with the flow. I actually feel quite ill and I'm coughing up.. stuff :/
I watched a program once about the decline of songbirds and one of the factors was predation by cats, but they'll have a go at anything that moves, since wildlife is indigenous and cats aren't I can't be comfortable with that. Cats are creatures too though so I don't wish them any harm, if it were up to me they'd all live on a designated island somewhere with lots of crazy old spinsters to take care of them- everyone's a winner! Sounds to me like that fish was on hunger strike, but I guess we'll never know. lol.
It'll end when I kick the bucket. I haven't played any video game thingys since I was 16, but I know people who play a lot of Skyrim and Borderlands etc. and I'd do it if I had the excess time and money, or I'd probably do some sim racing actually.
Were the eggs scrambled?
Yeah, I'm just a massive disappointment to myself really :p
Yes, I transferred schools- from the private and ritzy to the common and scummy.
I think it's stubbornness. Why would I cave in and smoke a cigarette to make the feeling go away? That's just weak.
You should try jasmine green tea, there's also chamomile tea.. but yeah, s'all me up in here! lol
My imagination sucks, so I strongly disagree.
You didn't tell me you were a squirrel too! :p
Were you able to go to work?
Well, that's unfortunate, but your idea kind of sucks. lol As much as it pains me to say it, maybe eliminating cats would be a more feasible solution. I guess it's the circle of life. But then again, humans endanger plenty species of extinction...
Either way it wasn't very bright, it could've had a pretty decent life! We have another one that is similar to the one that died and even though it's way smaller than the shark-like fish, it knows that you have to reach the top to get the food quicker. While the others seem to notice there is food, but can't find where it's located, so they wander around in the middle of the tank looking until the food starts to drop.
Kick the bucket, such a weird phrase. Anyway, work fast because you never know when that will be. ๐ ... Plus, it's beneficial either way.
Or you could do both. I don't play much either, but I do like...
... it cause you feel like you're in another world and you get to have adventure, since real life is boring!
Nope, my dad likes his eggs over hard.
You really are more agreeable lately. I'm not sure how I feel about this. :p
Which school did you like more?
Right! You have to get through the pain in order to get better!
I've tried chamomile tea, don't think I liked it. I do like a red type of tea, though I'm not sure what it's called.
Yup, for once it's all about you, enjoy.
That doesnโt surprise me! :p
Nobody else knows so keep it a secret! Yeah I went in to work, I hardly ever take time off sick.. when I do itโs rarely down to actual sickness.
And just what is wrong with Cat Island? lol. I really donโt know what the solution is, I probably wouldnโt wanna pull the trigger when it came down to it. So itโs either relocation or strapping padded mittens to their feet and putting bells on them so they find it harder to hunt. Iโd totally be in favor of reducing the human population to save the natural world! I had high hopes for a global Ebola epidemic but was left disappointed... again, so much disappointment! lol
You know you should probably get some other fish food besides the floating stuff, different species of fish have different feeding habits; some feed off the surface, others in mid-water, others from the bottom. Remember I know about fish! :p
Itโs hard to muster the enthusiasm sometimes and progress isnโt as fast as Iโd like, but Iโm doing it all single handed anyway so Iโll forgive myself on this occasion. Maybe Iโll invest in all that stuff one day, sim racing set ups are expensive. There was a time when I had the surplus cash but I spent it onโฆ consumables.
I liked eggs like that for a while, now Iโm into poached and scrambled... interesting eh? lol
Just when you accept it Iโll become disagreeable again, Iโm hard work sometimes.
Probably the private one.
You see, I liked smoking cigarettes because they provided respite from the unrelenting tedium of lifeโฆ just switch your mind off and enjoy the smoke. So itโs not just the actual cigarette I miss, itโs the opportunity to unplug.
It might have been red bush, which is a sort of sweet black tea. But if it was red in color it sounds more like a fruit tea or some sort.
What doesn't surprise you, that I don't agree or that my imagination sucks? Just know, one answer is safer than the other.
Who am I gonna tell? I don't have any squirrel or human friends!
Sounds like me when I used to work, but what is it usually down to?
There is more wrong with it than you realize. Essentially, you want to relocate cats, humans, and birds/other animals that cats prey on unless there is an island without any of those that I don't know about; it'll be expensive. Then there is the fact that you can't move millions of cats, so it wouldn't get rid of the problem, just decrease it. Most importantly, there is a chance I might end up a crazy, old spinster and I refuse to relocate! :p I like cats, but one is enough to have around. That's a better idea! And I think spaying or neutering cats would be a good long-term solution. Even though that's pretty harsh too, it's better than killing them.
I'm relieved you got to experience disappointment instead of satisfaction in...
... this case. :p
lol We have two types of fish food and they do drop, it just takes a little while sometimes. Plus I'm sure my brother asked for help when picking the food out and didn't just take whatever looked yummy to him. :p
What do you do to reach your objective?
Yea, they seem expensive, but it's probably a good thing; you don't need the distraction when you're on a quest of your own. What kind of... consumables?
I like eggs in any way, but I've went through a process too to switch it up a bit cause I eat them so often... And they always have to be accompanied by mayo and turkey bacon or a type of sausage that my mom buys. At one point I would make omelets too, but they take longer and I'm lazy.
Doubtful, it takes me a while to accept things.
You can do that without smoking. Try meditating, without the chanting. lol I have a similar feeling when I'm swinging on a bench in the backyard.
No, it's completely red in color. I checked and it's made out of hibiscus flower.
I left it ambiguous on purpose! :p
You could go to the tabloids, my reputation would be in tatters! I mean, what about my street cred? lol. Sometimes I just award myself a random day off, as Iโm so reliable the rest of the time they donโt suspect foul play. Also I can feel when I donโt have the patience for other peopleโs bullshit, so I call in sick then too.
Thereโs bound to be some desolate rock in the middle of the ocean somewhere, so only the cats would need rounding up and relocatingโฆ and maybe the odd resistant spinster! :p The alternative is a load of cats wearing bells and mittens, wandering around with no ballsโฆ actually that would be funny, I prefer that, you're a genius!
But, I wanted to watch the world burn! Iโm glad the fish are getting the right nutrition though and that goes some way towards assuaging my disappointment.
Iโve got a stack of books to read through, but I get tired and saturated by dry info quite quickly nowadays. Plus Iโm not really interested in all of it, although itโs good to learn. It is true gaming would be a distraction, but what about enrichment? What about fulfilment? lol. I actually earn less money now than I used to, but I live a more wholesome life I suppose so itโs a trade-off. Back then I could have afforded a sim racing set up but I spent all my money on nights out, drugs, clothes, holidays etc.
Sounds good, what do you put in your omelettes when you can be bothered to make them? I just discovered breakfast muffins and I think toast is now a thing of the past.
Yeah, thatโll make it all the more irritating when you take ages to accept it and when you finally do, I change course! :p
Meditation isn't the same for me, it feels more like unplugging from one thing and plugging into something else. Iโve got more to learn on that stuff though...
... Itโd be good to visit an ashram in India one day.
Hibiscus tea, Iโm gonna be all over that shit! lol
Or you're just saying that you left it ambiguous because you're not sure of the right answer and you're a little scared. I understand.
How about you stop putting ideas in my head and then whining about your nonexistent street cred? :p
That seems reasonable. Who wants to use their days off for times when they're actually sick? Wouldn't even get to enjoy it. I took days off when I wouldn't sleep all night at times. ... When you don't have patience for people's bullshit? When is that, like, everyday?
Just leave the spinster be... with one kitten. The rest can go. :p Yea, safety for other animals and entertainment for us. Although now that I think about it, if the cats had a say in this, they would probably prefer your method.
Then watch a movie or something.
You seem to really care about these fish for some reason... lol Could it be guilt for getting rid of a certain fish when you were about 8? :p
Just read the back of the covers and call it a day! Just kidding, what are the...
... books about?
Sadly, you can't have the pleasure of enrichment and fulfillment when you can't afford it. A wholesome life is worth it, I believe! ... I feel like I sort of contradicted myself just now. Eh, whatever.
Right. I spent quite a few nights out this summer, but I really didn't spend much money.
I put red peppers, tomatoes, and the sausage, which apparently is called sujuk, though we call it a little different where I'm from. Anyway, it takes a while cause I cut everything into pretty tiny pieces. I actually took a picture once cause I liked how it looked. lol
Then I won't tell you when I've accepted it! I wouldn't give you the pleasure of seeing me irritated.
Meditation is good though, not that I do it... So, you're saying you don't have anything on your mind while you're smoking?
You're killing me! You know, this behavior gives me all the more reason to think you're British.
Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. :p
So itโs possible to plant ideas in your head eh? Thanks for letting me know youโre malleable! Iโll have you know Iโve got lots of credibility on da streetz! lol
Only stoopid people use sick days when theyโre actually sick, youโre missing a golden opportunity to spread the illness around the colleagues you loathe so much! Yeah, pretty much every day. lol
No concessions, all spinsters are bound for Cat Island... but since Iโve abandoned that idea in favor of a more entertaining one; I suppose Iโll leave them be, so long as they comply with the terms of their cat ownerโs licence.
Which movie? My conscience is clean regarding the fish, I saved his bacon!
All kinds of stuff.
Thatโs true, when I can afford it Iโm expecting only fleeting moments of joy in life. As long as youโre not contradicting me I donโt mind. :p I donโt spend much when I go out these days either.
That sounds like some good shit! How tiny we talkin? Ha, itโs good to capture and immortalize your achievements; my brother has a picture of his kids on his phone screensaver, whereas I have a picture of a kick ass lasagna I made a while backโฆ that just about sums it up really. lol
Iโll get the timing right, donโt you worry about that. :P
It is good but Iโm not sure people do it properly. Besides, when youโre fed up at work you canโt really pop outside to meditate for 10mins. When youโre having a cigarette your mind is fairly blank, things do occur to you but youโre smoking a cigarette and in that moment youโre not obligated to do anything.
You can think whatever you want. :p Now drop it. :p :p
Only when the idea is as great as going to the tabloids to reveal your secret of being a squirrel. I can be influenced, but it's harder to influence me than it is most people, I think.
That reminds me, I've had the chance to use "stoopid" and I have failed. ๐ I'm a failure!
Exactly, it's the perfect opportunity to make them hate you even more. And since your hopes of the Ebola virus spreading weren't fulfilled, this is the next best thing. :p Are you feeling better?
That depends, what are the terms?
I don't know, search "virus outbreak movies" or something and take your pick. I've seen plenty, but can't remember the names.
Such as? Let me rephrase, what are you most interested in reading about? You did mention you'd rather skip some parts.
All moments are fleeting though, right? If I contradicted myself, I also contradicted you because I was repeating your words. But don't worry, it wasn't exactly a contradiction anyway.
I'd cut the sausage into fourths, and the pepper...
and tomatoes even smaller. That sums it up? Nothing else you've made was worthy of a picture? Just kidding. I mean most people can make kids, but can most people make a lasagna? I think not. :p
And just how are you going to do that?
When I needed a break from people I would just go to the restroom. It was the singular type and had a comfy chair in it, so no one could bother me. I wished I could spend my whole day in there. lol That all sounds very nice, but it's not worth it. So, let it go!
There should be tips on how to meditate properly on the internet...
I would drop it, but I'm just not as obedient as you are. ^_^
That's a good thing, but lots of people think like that! :p
You would be welcomed warmly to the club with open arms but the club doesn't exist, another fail!
The illness I'm feeling is down to lack of cigarettes, apparently it's not uncommon to feel like you've got a cold for a while when you quit because your body chemistry changes and your immune system doesn't know what the fuck's going on... or something like that.
Just sign the contract!
I'm gonna watch World War Z on Netflix! I watched a Biggie and Tupac documentary earlier, it was... aiight. lol.
I'm interested in biology and biomechanics, there's lots of other stuff but I will keep that secret for now! :p
Apparently when you win the world championship that moment lasts a lifetime.
I made a papier mache Tracy Island when I was a kid, that was worthy of a picture but no pictures were taken :( sniff. Yeah, my brother has no idea what he's doing in the kitchen... sometimes I watch him floundering for entertainment!
That's for me to know and you to find out! :p
Getting paid for sitting and doing nothing is pretty amazing, I had a job like that once. Maybe it's not, I'll have to ask my buddy about the flavored vaporizer thing, if they're safe I'll get one, if he's not sure about them I probably won't.
Those tips are mostly new age soundbites, you need to ask a Yogi some things straight up!
I could be Canadian or Australian when you consider my use of various colloquialisms. Now am I trying to throw the spotlight off my assumed Britishness or am I mildly insulted because I'm actually a Canadian or Australian?
I want an omelette now.
Did I say I think, I meant I know it! I don't speak without proof.
That's nice, but I'm confused. What are you talking about?
That makes sense, how long have you been smoking? It's probably going to be harder for your body to get used to it if you've been doing it for a long time.
I would if I could see the damn thing!
I think I've only watched the trailer of World War Z. I watched Fury a couple of days ago on TV and it was pretty good. You're into those type of things or were you just bored?
Not surprising, do you only read from actual books? What is up with all of this secrecy lately? Did we trade places or something? :p
Well, nothing to look forward to for me then, since I won't be wining any world championships.
I'm sure it seemed perfect at the time, but I bet you wouldn't have liked it much anyway when looking back on it, no offense...
At least he bothers to try unlike my big brother. I wouldn't mind having the chance to make fun of him for his lack of skill. :p
More like, "for both you and me to find out."
By "doing nothing" I hope you mean doing something that's relatively easy and fun. Doing nothing at work is a drag. What kind of job was it?
I think you'd be better off not getting anything as a substitute.
Do Australians and Canadians spell "fulfillment" with one l? Don't lie because I don't know and I don't feel like looking it up. :p Only you know the answer to that. Although you did say you've never been to Australia, so that rules it out. You didn't want to own Canada, so that could maybe mean something. You have been to Britain and you really like tea... huh
Go make one. I trust that you're capable of making them almost as good as mine. :p
So many people "know" stuff. :p
I was talking about the failure club, in reference to your failure, which failed to open.
Well I smoked when I was around 13/14 for a while then stopped until around 18 then gave up for another year or two before smoking regularly from around 21 (with the odd 6 month break when I was training).. I'd go through a deck of 20 on a night out or something but on average I smoked probably 5 a day. I can't tell you how much I want a cigarette right now!
I'll check it out sometime. I was just bored and I remembered the documentary maker's name from somewhere so thought I'd check out some of his "work".
Yeah I read from books.. when I'm not preoccupied with looking at the pictures. I duno, I've been feeling vulnerable lately for some reason :/ lmao
I'll be honest; it's hard for me to accept but me neither :(
I'm sentimental for the things young me did! lol. He started attempting to cook years ago when he was bodybuilding and still living at home...
... it was funny then and it's funny now! How can your brother get away with never cooking anything, wouldn't he starve?
If that's what makes you happy.
It was TX monitoring, I set up an alert system on the tablet and carried it around the empty building with me in the middle of the night, had people round for beers and weed and movies on the projector etc. It was both good and bad.
Yeah, probably true. I just want someone to tell me they're safe so vape away.
Well I spell it that way! :p
I can't be bothered now.
I'll have you know that even a professor of mine praised me for my stubbornness once.
lmao But you said you'd welcome me with open arms, which would make you part of the club, yet you never failed to mention the word "stoopid."
On one hand, the fact that you were able to stop before is a good sign. On the other hand, it could mean that you're not very good at ending the use of cigarettes permanently. I suspect you won't be able to keep this up for too long. Unless you're that stubborn that you will do it just to prove me wrong. :p And I've noticed how much you want a cigarette cause you keep talking about 'em nonstop!
I used to have Netflix, it kind of sucks. I've never watched something based on the maker of it, I just look for anything that seems interesting.
Vulnerable, huh? I guess this is as good of a time as any to do what I've been meaning to for a while now. :p
I'm not sentimental over the things young me did at all. I started drawing when I was little and I'd get...
... better and better over the years, so I'd want to throw away all of my drawings from the years before. If it weren't for my mom telling me to keep them, I'd have none from when I was young.
You'd think, but he tends to buy takeout a lot, then there is the fact that my mom still cooks for him, which I've told her not to do so often. When my mom's not around or tired, he asks me. I tend to say no at first and then give in anyway, while calling him lazy and an idiot. lol
That's not what makes me happy...
Empty building, middle of the night? ... Sounds like the perfect job for me!
Just don't!
I tried that hard for you to reply with, "Well I spell it that way!" You've got to be kidding me...
Why not?
Mind = blown!
Yeah but I failed at other shit so I'm eligible for membership!
When I stopped before it wasn't an attempt to give up for good. When I first stopped when I was younger it was because I was only smoking for the sake of it really, I didn't enjoy it. Then I started again and actually did enjoy it, but stopped because I was training. I started again when I got injured, there was no reason not to smoke and I was pissed off that I was injured. Then I stopped for an operation and started again when I'd recovered. So each time it wasn't like I was never gonna touch a cigarette again. I want a cigarette right now!
It's just glorified youtube, it's good for TV shows etc.
You're referring to whacking me? You're an amateur! The target should be at ease and comfortable when you close the contract!
You should be, these are things you produced before you became corrupt and bitter! :p Maybe I just speak for myself there. lol
I take it y'all still live together? My family is all dispersed! lol. So you're stubborn unless someone bugs you to cook dinner? Interesting!
I dread to think what dark arts make you happy! :p
Yeah you probably would have like it, I did for a while then I got tired of being on my own in there for hours. I was cool with the security guard so I snuck people in.
I knew that would be unsatisfactory but I was tired and couldn't really think, I am sorry quality control is so lax! :p The truth is I don't know if there's a difference between different nations and how they spell it, plus I could have spelled it wrong myself. I did tell you I was feeling vulnerable, so I'll let the smokescreen linger a little longer! :p
I made an omelette this morning!
Well, then no wonder this club failed to open, it was overcrowded. There should be separate clubs based on people's preferred fails, which would make me the only member of the "stoopid" club.
So, now you're attempting to give it up for good? How did you start at 13 years old anyway? Well, we can't always have what we want... so get used to it.
Yea, but I just watch TV shows on a website. You have to get through a couple of pop-ups, but at least they give you the latest episode within a few hours after it's aired.
Well, no, I can't say I've ever done this before. And if I'm being honest, I wasn't really planning on killing you, so you can relax.
Yea, a drawing of a Morton's salt girl is really something to look up to. :p Plus, it doesn't matter how corrupt and bitter you are, it matters how good the product turns out!
Yea, we do. My brother did live on campus his first year of college, but has been back for the remainder of the years. Dispersed in different countries? Even...
... then I'm stubborn. I just know that if I don't, he's gonna end up asking my mom or even my little brother. lol I might also feel a little... bad when I refuse, but it's more about not wanting my mom to have to do it. Plus, when I cook for him, I do the hard part and let him get the drink, etc.
Doesn't matter cause I haven't drawn in years... other than some portraits that people have requested.
Yea, I can't believe you did that! I'm guessing you got fired?
I have found that Canada also spells it with one L, which doesn't help at all. I still get the feeling you're from Britain, mostly because you don't seem to know how the other two countries spell it. lol At this point I'm more interested in knowing if I guessed right than knowing where you're actually from. :p
What did you put in it?
Well at least itโs exclusive!
Yeah, Iโm strange with these kinds of decisions because I make them whenever I feel itโs time... I think building up to something and setting a certain date to commence whatever it isโฆ just isnโt for me. I had a friend whoโs grandmother used to buy hundreds of packs of cigarettes all in one go and didnโt know how many she had, so heโd sneak the odd pack here and there and Iโd supply him with something else, it makes me smile when I think what dodgy little kids we were. lol. Believe me Iโm used to it but it doesnโt stop me wanting.
I did that too when I was into Hannibal, which wasnโt on Netflix. Some of those websites are fine for watching on a laptop screen but I like to put it on the TV and the quality is just too shit, thatโs where Netflix is good.
I see what youโre up to, you want me to relax so you can off meโฆ never! I will remain skittish. :p
Spoken like a true drug baronโฆ de product is gooood mang!
Iโm thinking of moving into a vacant apartment my dad owns so I can save some money, but heโll be using it occasionally as will my brother, Iโm not sure how I feel about sharing my space but it makes sense financially. Weโre all in the same country. It sounds like youโre quite close to your mother.
Youโre good at drawing arenโt you? My brother was/is good at it too, I however am absolutely useless at it! lol. He said he can look at something and then see it on the page so it's basically like tracing, he can't understand how people can't do it. Some of his paintings were amazing actually. Who requested these portraits?
Iโve only been fired from two jobs and only one of those firings was fair, this particular job wasnโt one of them.
So ignorance of other nationsโ written discourse points to Britishness? Makes sense :p
Chorizo, red pepper, onion and spinach.
My classes began today... ๐
Most clubs are exclusive.
That is strange... which is why I'm going to need you to explain that again. :p
What did you give him in return? Gum?
Well, in this case you can get what you want, but you are choosing not to. Way to go!
I guess I've never noticed. I've only watched shows on my macbook/iPad/iPhone.
That wasn't my intention at all. You'll be remaining skittish for no reason, but be my guest!
You would know... So, you think I have the potential to be a drug dealer?
Why would they be using it "occasionally"?
Yea, I am close to her, though when I was little I was way closer to my dad. Now it's pretty even, I think.
I am, I lack creativity though... at least lately. Has your brother been drawing since he was little? I don't understand how people can't do it either at times, which I loathe cause it proves my inability to see beyond my own perspective. When I was little, I would spend time looking at objects and tracing them with my eyes...
... when I wasn't actually drawing... I was obsessed. I used to work with my mom for a while and she would like to talk about it and sometimes make me show photos, to my dismay, so these two coworkers asked for them, one of them (who apparently really liked art) repeatedly, my aunt, etc.
I can't recall if you've told me anything about this before, but I don't think you have, so tell me why you got fired in both instances and I'll be the judge of that! :p
It sort of makes sense and I have little else to go by, so I'm trying to put the pieces together. It is one of those three though, right? Or am I completely off?
Was it adequate?
I suppose they had to start sometime, you just gotta crack on. I spent a couple of hours at carnival today but it was too wet so I went to check out a gym as well, might join! :D
Most clubs take just about anyone, as long as they can pay.
I mean Iโd rather do something like giving up smoking when I feel itโs time, rather than say Iโll quit as a new yearโs resolution or something. I gave him bullets and shotgun cartridges I got from another friend whose dad was a countryside ranger. Yeah, Iโm still wanting one and choosing not to have one, but Iโm definitely feeling an increase in lung capacity so thereโs that.
Butโฆ your poor eyes straining to see the screen!
Now youโre just trying to make me feel like Iโm being paranoid! :P
Yes, you have potential.
My brother sometimes takes certifications which further his career but theyโre done in the city and he lives in the middle of nowhereโฆ or thatโs not quite true but it might as well be the middle of nowhere...
... My dad travels around a bit for work and heโd stay over then too.
Apparently when my brother was little in the first family home all the walls were scribbled onโฆ to the height he could reach, like a frieze or something. He started actually being able to draw properly quite young, doing the same thing you did tracing stuff with his eyesโฆ so yeah he was arty from the start. I was apparently good at abstract stuff at school, the art teacher digged my "use of color, pattern and texture"โฆ but I was just messing around and didnโt think much of it myself. Do you need inspiration to get the creative juices flowing then, like you canโt just sit down and start drawing and see what happens? You should have charged for the portraits!
The unfair one is a long story. The fair firing was when I was 16 and worked in a restaurant as a waiter, my friends worked as chefs there. They were doing pills in the kitchen and goaded me into taking one; I was off my tits in the dining room! lmao
It isโฆ west of Italyโฆ ok ok itโs one of those three.
It was more than adequate, it was... delectable!
Your day was more fun.
I guess I didn't realize you meant it that way. I meant "exclusive" as in there are specific things you have to do in all of them.
Oh, I'm that way too. I've never had a New Year's resolution... or something like it. I guess it could act as motivation for some people, but it doesn't work for me.
The bullets and shotgun cartridges were of no use to you, huh?
You can feel an increase in lung capacity so soon?
Yea, I put my eyes through a lot of crap. I can't help it.
Oh, stop being paranoid!
I've always thought so... Some people don't get the opportunity to do what they were meant to in life. :p
I don't know exactly how much "sometimes" and "a bit" amount to, but it doesn't sound bad either way.
I would've gotten killed if I did that! I have a feeling you would've been great at art too if you did it as often as him. I could, but I don't want to sit down and start when I don't feel it to begin with. It's complicated. Well, I didn't charge, but they...
... offered to pay me anyway, one more than the other. I think the one that asked for a few portraits didn't pay for the first one, but I can't remember. I had to stay up all night to finish one of the drawings and get to work by 6:30 AM because she wanted it finished by Christmas, to give it to her parents-in-law or something, and I procrastinated. That was a pretty rough day.
What did you do in the dining room? It seems your friends are partly responsible for your delinquency as a child, and you're mostly to blame for playing along, choosing the friends, etc, etc, etc.
I must admit, it really pains me how good I am sometimes. And my final answer is Britain. Plus, if I had guessed wrong you probably would've just said no, right, right? ... And no, this isn't to say I would have necessarily done the same when you guessed.
I'm glad. It wasn't the first time you made one, was it?
Yeah but I got rained on and I hate that shit.
That kind of thing actually acts as demotivation for me, even if I set a target for myself I prefer not to set a deadline or anything; I get it done when I get it done.
Well I didnโt have anything to shoot them out of, but I had a drawer full of themโฆ for trade! lol
It might sound like untrue but yes. I did have a slight shortness of breath sometimes which has gone away. Now a big intake of breath feels strangely satisfying.
You CAN help it!
NO!
:P
Youโd have to go looking for the opportunity, but starting at street level thatโs just a pain in the ass.
It is bad, other people just get in the way, make a mess and interfere. I donโt know how Iโll survive in the future if I have my own family, perhaps Iโll have a nervous breakdown :/ lol
Apparently he was a real pain in the ass as a little kid but he mellowed out as he got older, I was the opposite. I could do abstract stuff but as for recreating images on a page I reckon Iโd struggle...
... even with practice. I think being able to draw naturally is down to talent. That sounds like one of those grim days in life. You love a bit of procrastination donโt you? lol
I was gurning and grinding my jaw, spinning the bottle opener on my finger, nodding my head to the jazz playing in the background, and being overfamiliar with customers; for example I hated clearing plates that still had food on them (because sometimes that meant touching it when it was around the side of the plate) and I literally said to one table โoh come on why doesnโt anybody finish their foooooood maaan!โ It was like a jokey way of complaining but the customers were unamused. I said and did other stuff but itโs just too long to write down.
We were all just as guilty, we fed off each otherโs energy.
Na, I would have left the water muddy. Iโll make an announcement as to my nationality in either the near or distant future! :p
It was the first time Iโd made that kind of omelette, but I rock in the kitchen!
Excuse me while I cry for you.
Neither work for me usually. If I say I'll get something done when I get it done, it'll take me forever to get it done and if I have a deadline, unless the deadline is important, I won't do it. The only thing that kind of works for me is if I try to trick my mind into it.
Your friend had something to shoot them with?
You had slight shortness of breath even when you weren't being active? At least now you know for sure that it was caused by the smoking. I'm glad it's gotten better!
No, I cannot! I stay up late often and the phone is least noticeable to use for shows, reading, etc. And it's just more comfortable in general for me, along with the iPad.
Whatever. ... You must be more afraid of me than you are willing to admit. ๐
I'm afraid it's too late now.
I think you're exaggerating. Sure, they do that, but that's not all they do. By that I mean there are positive aspects as well. Plus, it won't be an everyday thing. Like it or not, you're...
... gonna be around people often in your life. You deal with people at work everyday, so I'm sure you can deal with your own father and brother for a while.
I kind of know what you mean. While I might have a nervous breakdown, I don't think it'd be for the same reasons. I do know that I'm good at/comfortable with being on my own. The main reason I will probably get married is because I know my mom would want me to, even if I do see the advantages to it myself.
Yea, it's down to talent, but I don't think that's all it is. I think a huge part has to do with one's interest in that certain thing.
Actually, I detest that about myself! I got most traits from my dad and, sadly, procrastination had to be one of them. My mom often gets annoyed by it and remarks that not even 300 years would be enough for him to do what most do in an average lifetime. lol
LMAO! I personally think that was a wonderful statement to follow for everyone involved.
Fine. But just know that if we stop talking...
... before I get the answer, this question will haunt me for the rest of my life. :p
What kind do you normally make?
You are excused! :p
I just know that some things need doing so you can move forward with life, if itโs something worthwhile the feeling will just take me one day and Iโll do it. How do you trick your own mind?
Not at that time he didnโt, he once hit a shotgun cartridge with a hammer when we were in his shedโฆ to this day I still donโt know how we came through that unscathed. He was a bit cray!
It mostly occurred lying in bed at night. If I went for a run I knew I lost performance because of the cigarettes but I could still actually run. A lot of people I know who smoke can only run a few yards before they collapse in a wheezing heap! So the shortness of breath was strange, occasionally Iโd lay there thinking oh god I better not have emphysema! I do feel so touched that you care :p
Fair enough, you should try and limit it though because Iโm sure staring at VDUโs has damaged my eyesight, which used to be exceptional.
I shouldnโt be, Iโm a male after all...
... I SHOULD be at least 50% strongerโฆ but Iโm vulnerable while sleeping. I might have to start closing my window at night now!
Iโm just traumatized from when I shared a house with a bunch of cretins. But I suppose temporary and occasional cohabitation with family might be a good bridge for the future. What do you reckon would be the cause of a nervous breakdown if it isnโt mess and inconvenience? Iโm not sure Iโm comfortable with the idea of being on my own indefinitely, I know howโฆ nourishing the other side of the coin can be, but thereโs no guarantee Iโll see it again so I tell myself Iโll be just fine. lol. What are the advantages of marriage?
I agree, but I also think people are usually interested in what theyโre naturally good at. I have friends who studied fine art at uni and watching them paint and speaking to them about it does tempt me to pick up a brush.
You must enjoy the actual procrastination though, itโs just easier. It canโt be that bad, youโve made it this far! Iโm quite different to both my parents, I feel like a bit of a cuckoo to be honest :/ lol
Yeah, I got left a tip by another table who actually enjoyed my candor, I remarked that would allow me to eat tonight, inferring I wasnโt paid enough, in earshot of the manager. Thems were the days!
Well I donโt plan on ceasing to have our conversation, so you can relax :p But I canโt rule out having a heart attack in the gym (I joined today!)
I usually do them simply, with just a tiny bit of fresh parmigiano and black pepper.
Thank you. It took a while to calm down, but I think I'll be okay.
Any examples of these worthwhile things? Well, I just try to pretend that something is due sooner than it actually is, so I don't procrastinate. Things like that. It is pretty weird, but it helps.
And you never thought of going to the doctor to check it out? I don't care... Simply making conversation. :p
Oh, I can already notice damage to my long distance vision. I do like being in denial about it though, so I can keep using the phone. :p
At LEAST 50%! That cannot be right. ... But yes, there are always ways even if it is.
I don't know, maybe I'm being dramatic, but I just don't see myself working with any guy (though that might just be cause, as I've said before, my imagination sucks. :p). I guess it's because I don't like bothering with opening up to people. So, if I can't do that, I don't see how I could be with someone. Why aren't you sure you'll get that again? It doesn't seem like you had trouble getting..
... women before. What type of "nourishment" are you talking about? There are enough advantages to make me not want to get into it. :p
Huh, that is probably true. People tend to like what comes easy and what they can show off with. lol Although I think part of the interest in art for me was the fact that my dad did it (even though he's good at a lot of other things, art is probably the easiest thing a kid could bother with) and I admired him a lot as a kid.
I enjoy the part where I don't have to do that certain task, but then the time inevitably comes where I have to finish it and I highly regret that I didn't start sooner. Procrastination is easier? Yea, I have, but it is that bad cause I know I could be doing a lot better than I am.
How are you different?
๐ Weren't you clever...
So, I guess the admins/GAGers will know everything there is to know about us... That's nothing to worry about. ๐
Good. I trust you haven't died yet?
Moving houses and following career paths. I used to do that but I always ended up doing assignments the night before they were due. :/
I'd probably advise other people to go and get checked out but when it's me I just think meh, s'only me it doesn't matter! lol
Denial IS a beautiful thing! :p
Of course I could be way out with that estimation but when you wrestle with a girl they do feel 50% weaker, unless... they're actually lulling you into a false sense of security!
That's how I feel, half of me says I'm being pessimistic, the other half says I'm gonna need to pretend to be someone else in order to make it work with someone and avoid becoming a lonely old man! lol. Is that because you consider people untrustworthy? I got screwed over, by the one person I ever opened up to, if that happens it makes you hesitant to repeat the experience. Plus you know that if you do try again with a girl it'll be a long time before you can trust them...
... and they'll probably get frustrated and lose interest before you can take that leap of faith. It's probably exacerbated by they way it went down. If you're referring to the time I spent working in porn, that was completely different. I feel a bit gay but I'll say it anyway, there's a massive contrast between life when you're in love and life without that feeling. However I was mislead so that's probably bullshit. Fine. :p
Yeah, my dad is wicked smart... I had no hope of emulating that so I didn't bother and found my own talent, which was hijinks! lol.
Yeah procrastination is basically laziness, which I excel at! I think most people could achieve more tbh, so don't feel bad.
I just am.
I was a right silly little nit! lol
Yeah, we should probably transfer the convo somewhere else and some point.
Na, takes them time to "process the application" but they take your moolah straight away!
It is difficult to trick your mind effectively.
Giving advice is way easier than following it. I mean it's talk versus action; talk is easier.
Yea, it is, except for when I get hit with a reality check once I realize I can't read movie subtitles clearly.
Apparently the average woman has 50-60% of an average man's upper body strength and 60-80% of a man's lower body strength. Sadly, you weren't completely off... Ughh, life is so unfair. Although, unless you were wrestling for real, I doubt that percentage was estimated accurately.
I don't think I'm being pessimistic, I'm just being realistic. I'd rather end up alone than pretend to be different to make it work with someone... cause then I wouldn't even be able to hide out in my own room. lol I do consider some people untrustworthy. Not because anyone has severely broken my trust, since I've never been one to share much with people, but because I notice it through others. Why did you only open up to her and what did she do...
... to ruin it? I can imagine there is a difference, but I thought you meant that you might not see it again because you can't get a girl, not because you can't trust them. And you might've been mislead with her feelings, but that doesn't mean your feelings weren't real, so it's not bullshit. ... I think. ... I'm not good at this.
I don't think I was consciously trying to be like my dad, I just assume that's what happened. Yea... you should have stuck with trying to emulate your dad...
You don't understand. Even when it's the last day to study for... an exam, for example, I stay up all night with the intention of studying, but I goof off a lot while doing it. So, even though I stay up, I'm still not completely prepared. I didn't used to be like this, which is what sucks the most. Yea, that is true, but it doesn't change anything, I'm afraid.
Yea, maybe... in a hundred years. :p Does that work for you?
You should be thankful. I know I would be.
Thatโs a good thing, people who can do it easily are likely to be deluded fruit loops.
I suppose itโs not too much trouble to go to the doctor, I just donโt fancy being told Iโm gonna die gasping for breath or something.
You watch a lot of foreign film?
Ha! I knew it, now I revel in my own brilliance! I have noticed that girls seem to have strong legs and I think theyโve got better balance than men actually. Well they were going for it, attempting the takedown while I just stood thereโฆ lmao :p
I was gonna say that but I was conflicted over the statement so used the backspace on it. Iโve always lumped just about all people into the unworthy/untrustworthy/undependable/fickle/selfish category, thatโs not to say itโs malicious or intentional on their part, itโs just what I think theyโre prone to when I observe their behavior and listen to their personal stories. Bearing that in mind I basically made an exception for one person. There is, of course, more to it...
... but I think thatโs all I wanna say on it for now. All that means itโs been ages since I last dated anyone so Iโve forgotten what to do and I turn offers down. Iโm not completely closed off... but almost completely. lol
I think you pursue similar things sometimes and it goes some way towards bonding. Thereโs a definite difference between the father/daughter relationship and father/son relationship especially in the early years, I can see that with my brother and his kids. Youโre right but he and I are wired differently so I was always gonna come up a bit short.
When you cram for an exam do you actually need to learn stuff or is it just a case of consolidating it?
Iโm potentially comfortable with that schedule. :p
Iโm going down there to get my membership today, apparently thereโs a bit of an induction but if theyโre expecting me to show up ready for a workout theyโll be disappointed!
You mean intelligent, deluded fruit loops!
Yea, doctors can be cruel. :p
Haha No, not at all. While I was in Europe, I would watch a lot of American movies on TV. They'd have subtitles translating them to my native language, and it's hard to ignore subtitles when they're right in front of your movie.
Yea, yea. You're a genius! Moving on. Balance IS important when walking in heels, so that's something, I suppose. :p I've always wanted to be able to fight like the girls in movies/shows, how cool would that be? You just stood there, right... So, you were wresting with 5 year old girls then?
I don't know, I mean when you think about the worst a person can be, most aren't that bad. Anyway, why did you make an exception for her though, was she really hot to you or something? :p
What, you don't trust me with this classified information? I don't even know who you are. But fine, I'll ask one more question and you can choose not to answer it, obviously. Is this girl the elementary...
... school teacher you were talking about? I get the feeling it isn't, but just curious. You've forgotten what to do? I'm sure it's not much different from when you first started dating. ... You seemed like a pretty open person before, but I guess talking about tea isn't exactly deep conversation.
It does, I'd spend hours talking to my dad about science, asking him what he thought of my art work, etc. As I grew up though, my room started looking more and more appealing, apparently. lol
If it were the latter, this problem would be nonexistent.
Good! It's a deal then. Don't forget, in a hundred years! ... You should mark it on your calendar just in case.
I don't think they care what you do as long as you keep paying. lol Does it include a pool? Cause the gym my brother goes to does and that's pretty much where I'm glued to whenever he drags me over there.
I'll meet you in the middle and say knowledgeable, deluded fruit loops.
Indeed they can be.
I love it when I'm abroad and films are dubbed over, itโs just hilarious, subtitles arenโt as much fun.
I tried on a pair of heels once, you know, for science... they made me walk like a velociraptor! lol. It would be cool but imagine how much training youโd have to do. Yeah they just had no idea what they were doing, they had a mental age of 5 at times. lol
They're not that bad, but they're not good enough. She was hot, but that wasnโt the reason :p It wasn't the school teacher. I'm writing in short sentences for some reason. Itโs not exactly like riding a bike you know. I'll have you know I take my tea very seriously, you have been very privileged to discuss such matters with me! :p
Most kids eventually retreat into their room, itโs part of growing up I suppose.
So what grades do you usually get?
An elephant never forgets!
Itโs got quite a big pool. Itโs a tier 1 gym donโt you know! lol
I will withdraw from the middle because I do not agree.
Maybe not as much fun, but definitely more bearable.
Quite the scientific discovery you made! Yes, a lot of training, hence the "I've always wanted to..." and not "I can..." They? What, do you go around wresting girls all the time?
No, they're average, which is all one can hope for. Are you implying that you're good enough?
Yea, you are. I wonder why... Not really. Whatever.
No, you're right, it's not. It's easier.
You're the one that's been privileged! I didn't get anything out of it, while you got a variety of teas to try out. ... You're welcome. :p
I know.
Well, I'm doing good enough to pass, but, like I said, not as good as I know I'm capable of.
You're a shapeshifter all of a sudden?
I know now.
Enjoy the periphery!
You want the end result without putting in the hard work, that's not unusual. I suppose you could, but you won't... even if it meant you got to eat a lot of your specialty! Not anymore :( sniff
Average these days is still well below par. What do you think?
Partly because I've been distracted, normal service will resume once the distraction goes away.
You find dating easier than riding a bike? You're supposed to have good balance! :p
The jury is still out on the privilege, I haven't tried the hibiscus tea yet, it might be horrid! I will try it though and report back. You must be getting something out of it, or why would you indulge the conversation? :p
Would intrigue be enough for you to test what you're capable of... just try hard on one exam paper and see what you get. I once got a B without any coursework and missing several units, that pissed off the lecturer who wanted me to fail! lol
I just wish I was an elephant, I really like 'em.
Jelly? :p
I always have.
That's not it. I already get to eat more than enough of my specialty, so that's a bit off-putting.
These days? I'm pretty sure people have been this way for a while now. I personally think I see good about as much as I see bad.
Doesn't matter what I think. And I asked first anyway.
It's okay... No need for excuses. I know the major reason.
Well, no. There's a reason I've never dated.
It's not horrid! If you think so, you have horrible taste.
Maybe I'm just bored. ... To be honest, I don't even know what I'm doing.
As I've said, I wasn't always like this, so I know I can do better already. Anyway, I can't really blame him/her for wanting you to fail then... Though I'm pleased you didn't.
Let me guess, is it cause they're powerful, yet pretty innocent creatures?
Searing with jealousy! ... Just not sure about what.
Ever the wallflower! :p
Are you interested in any physical activity? Iโm gonna have to start eating a bit cleaner now Iโve signed up at the gym, Iโll be eating a fair amount of eggs.
I think people are probably more badly behaved than they used to be. You really want to know if I think Iโm good enough?
Oh yeah, you doโฆ do ya?
Iโll admit to being curious as to why but I know asking why wouldnโt yield an answer. :/ lol
I have a sophisticated palate.
That makes two of us! :p
So whatโs responsible for the change? Yeah I was pretty blatantly not putting in the effortโฆ I am touched.
So long as youโre feeling jealousy; it doesnโt matter to me why.
Ever the glib bastard.
... Why?
No more than three a day, I hope.
How did you come to that conclusion?
Do I have to REALLY want to know for you to tell me? Anyway, I asked, did I not? And no holding back would be preferred.
Yes, I... did when it first happened.
Are you sure?
We'll see about that...
Good.
I dunno.
You're very easily touched.
Nice try, but I didn't forget about the elephant question. Is this too personal of a topic for you?
Uh-huh, and why exactly do you want me to be jealous?
Wow, scathing! lol
Just wondering. I might eat five or six, but Iโll make them tasty!
Society has always been immoral but it looks to me like itโs getting worse for a bunch of reasons.
I think itโsโฆ a bit of an unfair question. You must know that, but you still want an answer, so you must really want to know! If you want an honest self-assessment Iโll say yesโฆ I donโt know if I wanna give you a thorough one, I think I can be counted on to do the right thing where it counts and Iโve learned not to take some things for granted. Thatโs all you get!
When what first happened?
Reasonably sureโฆ I would expect you to say something like โI dunnoโ. :p
Yes we will.
I am sensitive!
Yes, they are my spirit animal! lol. I overlooked that question, it was just a fail! I suppose I do like that about them, but thatโs not all. I canโt really put my finger on exactly why I like them so much though. Theyโre on my โmagic listโ. lol
I suppose other people being jealous of my gym membership makes it...
... feel more valuable!
I guess that might have been a bit harsh.
Fine. By "interested" if you mean going out of my way to do a physical activity, then no, not really. However, I do like certain ones.
You keep saying that, but you never give the reasons. But, yes, society has always had moments of immorality, which is why it amuses me that you somehow expect things to be different. Which you do, or else you wouldn't harbor such disappointment.
How is it an unfair question? Interesting. And you think most other people don't possess these traits? ... Just asking.
Ughh... When you first said, "I'm writing in short sentences for some reason."
If you're sure... Actually, there might've been a time when I would've told you... not anymore.
You are sensitive!
What is this "magic list"? I want to have one!
Okay then, I'll make sure to go around venting about it and spread the jealousy!
I was gonna write touchรฉ then I double checked "glib" and was mortified!
For example?
That's because it would look like the rantings of a grumpy old man! lol. I accept it but I don't have to like it.
I suppose because it's a leading question, in the dock, on charges of arrogance! :p I think enough don't to make life more of a challenge than it needs to be.
The main reason was evasiveness, did you think it was something else?
Well I am now... what happened? :/
The magic list comprises of all my favorite animals, like elephants; they're all a bit unusual.
Excellent!
You were mortified of a word that describes you perfectly? That's not good. :p
For example: basketball (for which my gym teacher in high school actually asked if I was gonna join the team when he saw me play during class), volleyball, ice skating (which I haven't done more than, like, twice, but I liked), and many more. The only thing I can get myself to do lately is crawl to the park though...
I don't mind. Rant away, really. I'm used to your grumpy, old self by now. No, I accept it, but don't like it. You don't really seem to accept it, which isn't such a bad thing.
I beg to differ. And while your answer was insufficient, I agree with the first part of it. I was thinking about that myself when you asked me what I though, which is weird because I would normally lump someone that's done the things you have in the "overall bad person" category right away.
No, that's basically it.
You know what happened.
And this is an actual list? ... Name a couple more.
Excellent for you, yes.
I must protest, I'm not insincere and shallow! :p
What's stopping you doing one or some of those things? I think it's worth the effort. I suppose crawling to the park is better than nothing though.
Yes, but I felt like that would pollute the air with too much negativity, makes me picture myself being on Grumpy Old Men... I can't be like that! lol
I'm pleased you agree, I don't tell a lot of people the stuff I've done because I get written off. Such is life.
I really don't, if you could enlighten me I'd really appreciate it actually!
Other animals on the list include: giraffes, lemurs, octopuses, dolphins, seahorses, owls, hares, preying mantis, chameleons et cetera. lol
The protest will be acknowledged once you add fluent and voluble to that list. :p
I don't know, laziness, the fact that I'd rather be doing other things, etc. Why is it worth the effort? I would only play back then on the occasion when my brother would ask me or because it was required for class anyway. I actually ride my bike or walk to the park, so it's not so bad. :p
B-but you will be like that, unless you talk to your shrink (me) while you still can.
I wouldn't tell most people either, as it's none of their business really. Though you should be the first to understand. I'm not really even sure where you fit in, but you say you're "good enough" so I'll accept that. You know yourself better after all, and I assume you're not being biased. Who, in general, knows the things you've done?
Since you ask so kindly... No. Plus, I'm not capable of enlightening you, remember?
I can see why you need a list now. Anyway, you managed to slightly warm my temporarily cold... brain.
My little brother has always liked the leopard. And because of that, the color yellow. And because of that, other yellowy things.
I fell asleep around 11 PM and woke up at 6 AM. That's quite nice as my eyes are no longer bloodshot.
I think Iโve tooted my own horn enough... for now!
Healthy body = healthy mind and all that, Iโm sure it makes a difference. Iโm feeling a bit more energized now that Iโm less smoky and indolent. What do you do in the park, youโre not one of those people watchers are you? :p
So listing the things which highlight the decay of society is a drastic enough measure to prevent becoming a grumpy old manโฆ looks like youโve discovered a gap in the market! Are you considering discontinuing my treatment or something?
You see if you say youโre good enough it looks biased; it looks arrogant. But no, Iโm not being biased. Nobody knows all of it, one person knew nearly all of it, and my brother knows the most I suppose.
It looks as though I was once held in high enough esteem to be told, but thatโs no longer the case, you know the natural reaction might be... to feel offended! :p You could of at least tried, you had a chance to shine and you blew it!
Leopards and jaguars almost make the list...
... but not quite. Iโve got a couple of yellow things in my wardrobe but Iโm not crazy about it.
Iโve been sleeping a bit better of late, but itโs been light sleep because I get up easily after the alarm goes off and I can remember some of my dreams. Last night though my neighbors had a blazing row, it kept me awake for a bit but at least it was entertaining.
Finally some peace and quiet!
What's wrong with my mind? I did feel like playing basketball once when my brother took me to his gym, but when I looked through the doors' windows, it was literally all guys in there... Tough competition! :p
Why would you assume that out of all the things a person can do at a park? No, I'm not. In fact, I prefer it when there are no people at the park, besides me and my little brother, which is pretty usual here. And I have a fondness for swings.
... Something like that. Why don't you just spill? Yes, it has crossed my mind, we're not getting anywhere after all.
That's why I said don't hold back, because I was assuming you weren't being biased... Not that you shared much anyway.
You're not even worthy of being told why I can't tell you anymore! Just kidding, the reason for that is because I wanted to keep the comment short, which explains why I didn't "at least try." I'm actually disappointed by the fact that you can't figure it out yourself.
I thought you were smarter than that...
I didn't mean he has yellow clothes, since he really doesn't. I meant that he loves fire and stuff like that. What colors do you normally like to wear?
There was a while were I couldn't, I guess, remember any of my dreams. Now I can at times, and they are extremely weird and make no sense whatsoever.
How was it entertaining?
where*
Yes, thatโs whatโs needed for sleepy time!
Whatโs RIGHT with it? Ha! You should be like this girl I used to work with, she played basketball with the legwarmers and headband and everythingโฆ bossing all these big dudes around on the court! lol.
I just couldnโt picture you indulging in park sports, you could have gone there to fly a kite though, or evidently, swing on a swing.
I think people are more materialistic and selfish than they used to be, or were allowed to be anyway. Things like abortion and divorce are just โmehโ to most people these days, innocence dies young in people, theyโre less compassionate and certainly more uncouth. I donโt know where the ultimate destination is. Are you miffed because Iโm not as open as I was at the start of my treatment?
Itโs like waxing lyrical about myself though. I think itโs pretty simple really, underneath the humor and the bravado Iโm steadfastly loyal and dependable, you might think other people are too but they waver where I donโt...
... I can be trusted with honesty, I donโt use it to manipulate or gain an advantage and I donโt betray trust. I might project immaturity but I grew up before everyone else. Iโve done the right thing with some pretty vulnerable people. I donโt think Iโm good through and through, thereโs a pretty brutal and ruthless streak that runs through me, however I control it very well indeedโฆ partly because itโs in my and my family/friendsโ interests and partly because I canโt stand volatility in other people, even if thatโs not usually how it manifests itself with me. Having said that; I think that if there actually was such a thing as karma, Iโd probably be ok. Is that enough for you? lol
Iโm one of the most worthy people currently sat in this room on this laptop! I did tell you I try not to read into things because you can get the wrong end of the stick, my reading into things is still in itโs infancy and youโre being impatient, itโs a good thing you donโt want to become a teacher! lol
I just looked in my wardrobe (I lie I didnโt bother to furnish my crashpad properly itโs a clothes rail) and there is no consistency, I donโt have a preference generally and itโs just about all colors in vivid and pastels, bright and dark.
Iโve been dreaming of my teeth falling out, tidal waves and getting stabbed by shadowsโฆ these probably somehow reflect my mental state at the moment. What do you dream about?
I feel like Iโve written a lot and Iโm tired, staring at the screen I can feel my meibomian cyst coming back, so I will furnish you with the details of my neighborsโ argument in the next episode.
I need that most of the time.
I can't answer that. ;_; ... I guess engaging in physical activities isn't the worst idea. :p
As much as I enjoy bossing people around, I also can't handle it when they don't listen right away, so I'd probably go crazy.
But you could picture me being a people watcher? Eh, I found it's better to do that at night with my binoculars. :p Well, the park closest to our house is small, so it has no basketball court or anything like that. I have played park sports before though and I've never flown a kite, just so you know. My brother and I also have a certain tag game we play while on the swings.
Don't you think that these things aren't really as big of a deal as they seem at the moment though? I mean I'm sure the changes that happened back then, that don't seem like a big deal to us now, people were probably freaked out about at the time. If it gets too bad, I would expect that people would try and find a way to fix things.
Well, I suppose. I'm working...
... free of charge and you're wasting my time. :p I was actually less miffed and more confused.
So, while you did engage in things that would normally be frowned upon by society, you don't ever really hurt others. Are you this way with everyone or just the people you like/love? And how does it manifest with you? Yes, that'll do. But I'm asking more questions, so maybe not.
I doubt reading into things is required for this one. I don't think I ever said I don't want to become a teacher, but it's true! I used to help my brother with English/his HW back then and it wasn't the best experience. I'd explain something to him a bunch of times and when I'd ask him to repeat what I just explained (cause I knew he wasn't paying attention) he wouldn't be able to tell me, and I'd lose it. I don't know how I could handle 20+ kids.
Interesting. I imagine you with dark-colored clothing for some reason.
Way back when, I dreamed about buildings melting and me jumping off but waking up right...
... before I hit the ground, lions being in the house and eating us yet everyone being calm about it but me who was trying to save 'em, my mom becoming a ghost and trying to kill us, my dad dying (which makes sense), etc. Now (a few months ago) is when I have the dreams that seem long and don't make sense at all. By that I mean they tell some type of normal story (usually me escaping and being sought by someone evil) but the little things that happen don't add up, especially the transitions in the story. I would go into detail, but it's kind of hazy now. Of course, there's also the occasional dream about missing an assignment/exam and failing. :p
I've never had a meibomian cyst, is it painful?
Okay...
Too much writing! Let's try to keep 'em shorter.
Pull yer thumb out then!
The girl I was referring to is the same, she shouts and swears and administers light beatings. I donโt know why those dudes donโt just start playing without her lol.
I could! I used to do it a bit, in a non-creepy wayโฆ like waiting for a bus or a train Iโd choose someone from the crowd and commentate on what they were doing/thinkingโฆ I didnโt do this whilst on my own I hasten to add. Youโve got binoculars with night vision? Youโre a better/more committed people watcher than I! I think youโd enjoy flying a kite.
I think these things are indicative of a general shitty attitude carried by nearly all people, thereโs no sensibility, respect or solidarity and it matters when you deal with them, it matters a lot if youโre going to invest emotionally in them. I think Iโm in a better position to judge than most people; Iโve lived in different places, mixed with all kinds of different people so Iโve got โfriendsโ aged 18-60 and theyโre all different colors, classes...
... and religions etc. Iโve worked a shit load of jobs in different industries in different positions, Iโve traveled quite a bit. Iโm not completely misanthropic and I get on really well with people, (even though I donโt like most of them) but I think the redeeming qualities that should make someone good enough are too dilute across the board.
I must at the very least be an interesting case study. Anyway, I donโt seem to be less neurotic than when I started this therapy, so maybe YOUโRE wasting MY timeโฆ. Eh? Hmmmm? Wot wot? :p
That sums it up. If I like/love someone thatโs what Iโm like with them. Iโm indifferent with people generally but Iโve helped randoms who needed it and I donโt go around doing shitty things to people because Iโm not a scummy person. The ruthless streak manifests itself when Iโm crossed over something significant, as long as itโs not gonna be a pyrrhic victory Iโll have my revenge. lol
My approach to teaching would be similar to that of a Victorian schoolmaster.
Those dreams probably all indicate something, have you ever thought what?
Mine was, I had it removed a couple of months ago after it didnโt go away, it was horrible. There's scar tissue or something in the eyelid now so I'll have to go back... I actually saw the top surgeon in the country lol.
I've written too much again, I blame you for asking questions and not accepting evasive/short answers. :p
The neighborsโฆ heโs a schoolteacher and sheโs an actress, he cheated and she ripped the shit out of his masculinity calling him a cheating little whore, he threw typically male insults at her in return, they spent a while shouting at each other and competing for the trousers, then she went for him and probably punched him a couple of times before he got the fuck out of there. Brilliant! lol
Whatever that means...
Except they'd probably like me better cause I wouldn't even bother to continue dealing with them, unless I had to for some reason. Did you play with them too?
Fine, you're not way off. I am curious to see how other people live their lives, but I wouldn't want to be seen myself. So, I'd probably want to be invisible, out of sight or take the place of that person, and I'm not about to do any of that.
Ah, so you mostly care because it is an inconvenience to you.
I don't see why it has to be either-or. We're most likely wasting each other's time.
You take a lot of pride in the way you are, don't you? My dad has told me during one of his random lectures to be a good person, but to not expect the same from others/let others fool you. What kind of revenge?
Not really, does it even matter anyway? My mom thinks highly of dreams because she's had a couple that were foreshadowing of the future, but mine aren't that way. Mine are usually just worries and rarely...
... hopes.
Was that your first one?
Yea, I normally don't care to know about people, so consider yourself lucky. And since when do you care to comply with my wishes anyway?
Let's speculate! Why do you think he cheated on her?
Means do some exercise!
I think sheโs probably something of a novelty for them so they put up with it. Na, I just watched and analyzed the game.
Why wouldnโt you wanna be seen, got something to hide? :p
Yeah that and it makes me feel alone, not lonely, just alone.
How productive of us!
Iโm not especially proud of it, because itโs just the way I am and itโs not particularly rewarding. Your dad is right, people exhibit a lot of bad form and treachery. That depends, itโs usually something like someone being a more of pain in the ass than usual at work so Iโll see what can be done to get rid of them, or finding out who stole the money from my wallet, exposing them and then taking them to an ATM so they can pay me back. Of course sometimes youโve got to let things go, I personally find that incredibly frustrating. lol
It doesnโt matter, but itโs interestingโฆ I mean the science behind it, not attaching some greater meaning to the defragging your brain does at night. Yeah, mine too.
Yeah, Iโm actually quite pissed off about it because I like my eyelids the way they are/were!
Oh I do I do! lol. Donโt get too used to it.
Thereโs not a lot of speculation requiredโฆ he doesnโt love her and he thought he could get away with it, simple. I was talking to him at a bbq a while back and I suspected he was cheating on her, he seemed very happy and pleased with himself. I thought it could be because he found a girl heโs happy with, moved in with her and saw a future, and was plugging away at his careerโฆ or he sees all that as standard and heโs got something extra which is making him so chipperโฆ as people are the way they are; I was pretty sure it was the latter, plus there was a little vibe.
What does that have to do with peace and quiet? You need to stop blowing your own horn! Which you actually have a bit, so I guess I'll run up and down the stairs 3 whole times a day, how does that sound?
That would be my best guess. They probably don't want to get rid of the only girl around. Why didn't she make you play?
I'm not hideous if that's what you're implying. After all, everyone is beautiful in their own way, it's what's inside that counts, etc. :p No, it's partly because people change their behavior when others are around and mostly because I wouldn't want any talking to ensue. I'm not really one to talk. ... This is different because it's typing!
Alone how?
It actually is productive of me because, as of now, my mission in life is to waste your time.
But it's something you have that you wish other people had. ... I still think you're proud.
They do, but it's also important to note that everyone will fall short occasionally. Just depends on the degree and intention...
of that shortcoming. I've noticed that I'm usually the type of person to forget (for a period of time), but not forgive, if that makes sense. lol
Get rid of them? I hope that doesn't mean what I'm imagining it to mean.
Fine, tell me what you think about your dreams first and maybe I will too... if I can even come up with something.
Do you know what caused it?
Whatever. But I can get a little used to it?
... And he's not a very good person. Are they married? What vibe?
Make it 6 whole times, slacker!
I think they all wanna get in her pants. She knows Iโd play if I wanted to.
Thatโs not what I was implying. Yeah yeah, personality is more important than looks blah blah! :p I become grumpy and irritable when people are around these days lol. Yeah, itโd be nice if this was how people communicated, through writing instead of talking.
This isnโt a cop out but I tried to think of how to explain it and couldnโt word it.
And there was me thinking thatโs what you were up to all along! :p
Yeah because my environment would be a lot more pleasant. I suppose I carry the traits of pride but Iโm not demonstrably proud as I go about my everyday life. I know what youโre getting at, at the same time I think shortcoming indicates a lack of standards/consideration/caring/appreciation. I forgive those close to me I suppose, but I never forget and the mark against someoneโs name is permanent. They sleep with the fishes! lol
I did some research and Iโd say the analysis of teeth falling out and tidal wave dreams is fairly accurate, there's nothing on being stabbed by shadows thoughโฆ it probably reflects me being on my own, frustrated and powerless in the grand scheme of things.
Probably staring at VDUs.
Sure, why not. lol
Yeah but thatโs not unusual. Engaged. I canโt explain it, but sometimes I pick up a feeling. This is gonna sound like bullshit but today when I got lunch with some people and the waitress took the orders, I knew a plate of food would be the wrong thing and I knew whoโs it would be, I saw something go across her eyes as she took that order.
6 up and 6 down, a total of... *counts fingers*... 12. I don't think so...
Of course. Men... :p It doesn't seem like she'd care what other people want though. Why don't you want to?
Then what were you implying? Same here, but I've learned to accept at a young age that I can't be alone in this world. Why do you say that? You don't seem like the type that hates talking. That would be nice though, talking is way too energy-consuming, and I don't have a lot of it to waste. :p
That's probably because alone isn't really something you can feel, it's just a state that a person is in. Don't really mean to get you defensive, but you most likely feel a bit lonely.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? ... That I must be a little too good at what I do?
But, but! You could've instead been like, "I wish I was as untrustworthy as everyone else, I hate myself," but you're not because you consider the way you are to be better. I can agree with that...
Personally, I don't really expect...
... someone to appreciate/care/consider me every second of their life. If people can manage to hurt themselves, they will hurt others too.
What I mean is I forget that feeling of hate/hurt that I feel at the time of their betrayal, which I know I do even though I tell myself not to. So, that leads to me seeming like I've forgiven them when deep down I really haven't. This applies to people I'm close to, by the way.
Oh, phew. I thought you were implying that you try to get them fired or something. :p
Fairly accurate how?
So, if they're only engaged and he doesn't love her, why would he want to get away with it? Why not just break up with her while it's still easier?
Like I say, slacker!
Obligatory: weโre not ALL like thatโฆ blahdy blah. I donโt think itโs impossible that one of them could succeed but in reality it would have happened already if it was going to. I just couldnโt be arsed. lol
Nefarious activity of some sort. :p I accept it begrudgingly. I think I find talking to people less rewarding than I used to, it seems strange to say but itโs like it got old. I talk with friends but thatโs different and I do it when I choose to, I do sometimes feel like itโs hard workโฆ Iโll make the effort for โem though. lol
At the risk of sounding defensive; I know what loneliness feels like and this isnโt the same.
I was taking the piss, so it didnโt really mean anything, smartass banter isnโt supposed to offend/upsetโฆ not that Iโm capable of doing that to you.
Hating myself for that would be blatantly illogical though, it just wouldnโt feel like the right reaction.
I know nobody is infallible, I just see too much self-serving, not giving a shit going on; and itโs through this attitude that you get a lack of the aforementioned thingsโฆ and itโs not good enough. lol. I can understand that, but for me personally the way I see someone can change, so it isnโt forgotten. I suppose itโd possible for them to change it back (depending on what they did) but it wouldnโt be easy and it wouldnโt be a complete fix either.
Iโd never do something like that! :p
The future is uncertain and I donโt like a cloudy crystal ball, Iโm probably gonna end up doing shit I donโt want to do, which is totally against my character but I feel powerless to stop/avoid it because I reckon itโs necessary.
Itโs called having your cake and eating it. He wants to reap the benefits of having a decent partner but he doesnโt want to be monogamous.
On a side note I rescued a budgie today, got my buddy into the gym without him paying, and nearly vomited because we worked out so hardโฆ
... I feel smug, satisfied and extremely achy. I will not be able to move properly tomorrow... I will complain! lol
Oh yeah, did you ask a question about murder mystery? :p
Just realized I forgot to comment on the vibe thing. I have that too... at least when I care enough to pay attention. I would tell you of a noteworthy instance, but I doubt my parents would want anyone to know about it.
Is that supposed to act as a challenge?
Oh, so you wanna sleep with her too then? :p Also, how are you so sure she hasn't?
Yea, and I'm the slacker...
Of what sort? I understand, no one has any wisdom to offer you anymore. You're omniscient. :p You're better than me in that regard then. I only had one close... ish friend in high school. She kept in touch during college and wanted to hang out a couple of times, but I slacked even though I did respond to her texts, so I guess she gave up. She has plenty of other friends though, so it's not so bad.
Whatever you say... Kidding, l understand.
I guess not, since I chose to take that as a compliment.
But, but... I've got nothing. Or I don't feel like discussing this anymore. Actually, it's probably because I have...
... other, more important, things to do. :p
Maybe others are good enough and you're just too good, have you ever thought of that? :p... No, that can't be it.
Sometimes you, in general, don't see them for who they are to begin with. After a certain age, I think people are mainly the way they are.
Well, no, I suppose not... since they'd be dead instead.
This is about the being with someone because you don't want to end up alone thing, the career thing... or is there something else?
First of all, it really shouldn't be called that. Second of all, I see.
Really! How?
Free just this once? I can't even begin to comprehend how you feel so chipper about being tired and sore, but good for you. I suppose it's better than dying, as long as you don't come complaining to me...
You mean an GAG? No, why?
On a side note, one of the shark-like fish died, :( but two of them have gotten pretty damn big. Their stomachs seemed about to explode at one point.
Isnโt that standard womanโs intuition? :p Then I wonโt ask you to tell me.
Yes, I challenge you to climb the stairs, the gauntlet has been thrown down!
lol.. Na, the offer was there many moons ago, but she reminds me a bit of a spiderโฆ I wouldnโt wanna be eaten afterwards! Because she prefers hooking up with randoms and bad boys which none of those dudes are, and thatโs another reason I didnโt want to.
I duno, you tell me. You called me omniscient! I feel a warm glow inside! I wouldnโt say that, I too have let a few people fall by the wayside. Iโll admit to feeling slight guilt for not reciprocating their enthusiasm for friendship, but Iโm sure theyโll get over it.
Whatever I say indeed, after all I am omniscient.
Good-o!
Yes, you have the important deed of sending a noble fish to Valhalla!
Maybe, or maybe Iโm just a solipsist! :p
Iโd go along with that. I think post 30 is when people settle into themselves. A lot of people are prone to impulse and influence, even if theyโre...
... fairly strong characters.
Yep, brown bread!
I think it encapsulates everything, life; that includes my career andโฆ the quest to find a mate. lol
I know, it means cake might have negative connotations for some peopleโฆ but I suppose that means thereโd be more for me!
I was walking by the canal and it was flying around crashing into the hedgerow, a group of people had congregated and they were trying to catch it but failing due to poor hand/eye coordination and fear of getting bitten. I caught it and took it to an animal welfare place; that involved walking through the city holding a budgie and getting strange looks, but fuck it. lol. I might be able to get him in again but charm sometimes loses itโs potency the second time around. I can barely move now, but it means I went for it.
Yeah, I logged in to check for your reply, which is the only reason I sign in here these days (yes, you should be flattered! loool) and I saw a murder mystery question.
I feel a bit sad now, maybe people should have a fish keeperโs licence to make sure they know what theyโre doing! :p
I've been cordially invited to my niece's mermaid-themed birthday party, it means I probably won't be around for a few days.
I suppose not when other women are around and don't pick up on it.
Good cause I wasn't about to.
If you must know, I have climbed and descended the stairs more than six times by now... Granted they were on separate occasions, but I say it counts.
If male spiders can take that chance, then so can you! Plus, she probably just needs to be fed beforehand. :p Well, you're not a random to her, assuming she knew you when she "offered," and I doubt she considers you to be a bad boy. So, if she wanted to do it with you, why not with the other guys?
How can I possibly tell something to a human being that already knows everything? Please, explain. I feel that I've been too nice lately, even through sarcasm. I must stop.
They're probably already over it, don't worry.
Whatever you say, only when I say so.
Very close.
You being a solipsist is definitely more believable, so we'll go with that.
Why post 30?
Brown bread? Such subtle hints...
Well, in that case, you're not alone. Only...
... difference is that I'm used to not doing what I want, if I even know what that is.
Yea... then there's the fact that it's standard for a person that has cake to want to eat it, whereas the phrase is trying to say that a person always wants extra. Anyway, it's just weird altogether.
That's cute. :3 Your efforts are HIGHLY commendable in my eyes! A rare feat, congratulations.
You? Charm? Hahahaha :p
That's not all it means.
You lie. I might believe that you log in to this specific account because of me, which I actually feel a speck of guilt about, but not that. Why did you think it was me?
I agree, my parents and my brothers and... no one else definitely need a fish keeper's license. I'm just not sure how to break it to them.
When's her birthday? Then I suspect you'll be watching the Little Mermaid, all three movies! Have fun...
I had a quiz today. Took your... advice and said to myself yesterday, "Just do it, [my name]!" and I got myself to study a bit more efficiently. :p
I think that might have been the longest few days of my life so far, children tire you and theyโre relentless in their pursuit. They remind me of the terminatorโฆ they canโt be bargained with, they canโt be reasoned with, they donโt feel pity, or remorse, or fearโฆ and they absolutely will not stopโฆ until you โplay barbies!โ lol.
Being able to pick up on the vibes you get from people should stand you in good stead. I knew that! lol
It doesnโt count Iโm afraid, or Arnold Schwarzenegger would have just done one bicep curl a day and been done with itโฆ or something like that.
I was pretty much a random but she knew me by reputation before we met, then when we did I probably wasnโt what she was expecting, I think thatโs what interested her. The other guys have no โedgeโ. I donโt think sheโs all that stable or knows what sheโs doing tbh. I only see her once in a blue moon nowadays, but I'm just picky and not interested.
You can tell someone something they already know, it can be endearing! lol. You? Nice? Hahahaha :p Phew, thatโs one less worry.
Only when I say that you say that I say so!
My condolences.
We will, itโs easier for me too!
They do say you spend your 20s finding out who you are, although I did that years ago, 30 seems to be the cut off point for most peopleโs experimentationโฆ from what Iโve seen.
Cockney rhyming slang. I read itโฆ in a cockney rhyming slang magazine!
I donโt know how one gets used to having their spirit trampled on and suffocated. Maybe Iโm just being melodramatic.
Once youโve eaten it; itโs gone and you ainโt got it no moreโฆ is the sentiment. Anyway yeah itโs weird.
Where HAVE I heard that before? :p
Yeah, maybe I was so oafish and offensive that she just wanted to get rid of me so didnโt bother with the financial transaction.
Itโs all that matters when motivation is hard to come by.
I donโt actually, if I wasnโt talking to you Iโd have moved on from GaG by now...
... Because, we talked about murder mystery, I actually thought it was coincidence but for some reason I thought Iโd check, all the due diligence Iโve been involved with may have osmosed into my soul.
I think you should rescue the fish to stop any more from getting the ghost, replace them with a ransom note just to mess with your family!
It was yesterday, my brother hired a hall and an entertainer who dressed up as Ariel. Nevertheless it was still a tiring few days and Iโm totally depleted. I got home, I had a beer and took a really hot bathโฆ all in silence, god it was bliss!
Well done! And youโre welcome! :p
Tell me about it! At least you were only forced to play with barbies. My 8 year old cousin is incessant in not leaving me alone; she constantly tries to tickle me and annoy me. Although, I do know she does it to get my attention cause she really likes me for some reason that I will never fully understand. Were her other birthdays not as bad?
Not if you don't act on those vibes and just let things happen naturally anyway.
I knew that you knew that, just thought I'd be redundant.
Good thing I don't want to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I like to ask myself what Bruce Lee would've done... and that's what I came up with. :p
What were you like and what was she expecting? I was only joking, you don't have to justify yourself. It's not like I want you to sleep with her anyway. ... Not that I'm saying I'd care if you did, just that it's none of my business. Picky how?
I'm sure it can be endearing, if done by anyone other than me. I'm not good at it, and I don't really want to be. Now...
... stop trying to beat around the bush!
I was the cause of a warm glow inside of you, so yes, me nice.
Only when I say that you say that I say that you say so! ... (Warning: discretion advised. If you proceed, this may, no, will never end.)
Why? Cause you're a martyr as well? :p
Why do you think that is? I think it might be partly because people figure they don't have the same opportunities once they get to that age. So, you've found out who you are? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by experimentation, but I don't think I've ever experimented with trying to find out who I am... but I'm sure I know anyway.
That doesn't say much against what I'm implying. :p
It's easy when it's that person's own choice to do as said, even if told they don't have to. It seems to me that you're still doing what you want though, just not because you want it.
Ah, then I guess it sort of makes sense when they say you can't have your cake and eat it too, but not when they say something like, "I...
got to have my cake and eat it too." And I don't know why we're discussing this.
... Maybe you've been performing many good deeds lately! ^_^
I mean, I don't know, it's a likely possibility. I wasn't there after all. :p
And now you have motivation?
That's what you used to say, that you'd go on to reddit or something. But why were you still here at the time of my other question? Unless you tend to leave and come back after a while.
Well at least now you know. You can move on with your life free from the burden of "what if."
That is a wondrous idea but I don't exactly have any neighbors with fish ponds anywhere near by.
Ouch, she had to walk with a fin! Or was she sitting and sliding the entire time? Or was there a pool that she could swim in? O_o Or was she dressed as human Ariel? So many questions!
I've never bothered to take a bath even though we have a bathtub. In these moments I'm reminded of how lazy I truly am. ;_;
Thank you. Though you're quite distracting too.. You suck!
There was lots more I had to do, but I really donโt want to re-live the ordeal! I too have no idea why Iโm so popular with those children, perhaps theyโve just got exquisite taste in people lol. Last year was nearly as bad. I preferred it when she couldnโt walk or talk, na I lie, sheโs quite sweet really itโs just that I struggle with lack of imagination and so much repetition, plus I canโt match her energy reserves.
You probably should be a bit more proactive and not let things happen naturally if theyโd be detrimental, but itโs not for me to tell you how to live yoโ life!
Bruce Lee did say โbe water, my friendโ and since water takes the easiest path I can see why his philosophy would be so appealing! :p
I think she was expecting a player/wigger type dude with a fade who tawks lahk dis yare! When a well-spoken boy who seemed quite nice showed up; I think the juxtaposition was disorientating. I know, but I chose to indulge you! :p Picky in that I donโt particularly like...
... most people I meet, girls are people too (lol), so itโs difficult to find one Iโd like to be with. Itโd be possible for me to do what other people do and get with someone for the sake of it, but I canโt bring myself to do that. Besides, Iโm out of practice.
I guess it canโt be done unless you want to be endearing. Ultimately you were the cause, I canโt deny thatโฆ however Iโm not convinced that was your intention, I mean, what have you got to gain? lol
So itโs like that is it huhโฆ tit for tat eh? I guess Iโll have to be the adult and let you win.
Iโm not so interested in the actual martyrdom, I just need to give whomever writes my eulogy some good material!
I think most people try on different characters, lifestyles, jobs etc. for a while, youโre right about the opportunities thing and it applies to these things as well; you canโt keep chopping and changing, partly because each time you do you usually have to start from scratch, not very practical as you get older. I think I've...
... known for a long time but I wanted confirmation. Are, are you the batman?
Iโฆ ainโt got a Scooby what youโre implying!
Now that sounds like martyrdom to me! Iโm looking at the sacrifice as an investment, but itโs not really what I want and thereโs no guarantee Iโll see a return, so Iโm very uncomfortable and pretty deflated.
Yeah, Iโm so compassionate and charitable! lol
That wouldnโt boost the ego as much but I suppose I donโt need it. Meh, itโs still hard to actually want to go to the gym but Iโm alright once Iโm there.
I was coming to the end of the road with this place really, same as reddit although it is more engaging. So I suppose it was pretty serendipitous to have come across your question! My online activity has been in slow decline for quite some time.
Such a relief.
Thatโs merely a logistical challenge!
She started off with the tail then magically transformed, but I missed it because I had to slip out for napkins lol.
We didnโt have a shower when I was a kid...
... so when it became an option I showered exclusively for years, then I rediscovered the joys of a bath and as an adult itโs pretty damn therapeutic! I urge you to invest in some bath products and give it a try!
Oh, donโt mention it lol. I know, Iโm quite the double edged sword :p
Ok I die now.
... I think we might be setting a GAG record here. o_o
Well, I do have a slight idea, but nothing that could explain her liking me as much as she does, especially when there are plenty of other cousins to choose from. Lucky me! And I mean that both literally and sarcastically, though the latter to a slightly higher degree. Well, I'm not exactly favored by any adults in the family, with good reason, so her taste is questionable to me. :p I'm sure your brother would disagree with that statement. No imagination was required, all you had to do was sing along to the "Barbie Girl" song and embrace your inner barbie!
I will certainly do that... if you can tell me that you prevented the waitress from getting one of the orders wrong at that restaurant. :p
lol Yup, efficient and effortless. Finally you understand my use of natural resources for fitness purposes!
Were you two set up on a date or something? Aw, you were such a disappointment! Indulge me? ... Sure, okay.
Yes, cause you...
... were clearly such a great judge of character with your previous relationship (s). :p Why not try it out with someone that you don't particularly like? You could be surprised. I cannot do that either, as I'd be a nightmare to deal with; more closed off and grumpy/gloomy than usual.
Guess not... What was the original topic again? Never mind, I actually know exactly what it was but you have literally dragged it to its grave.
Nothing. As a matter of fact, I had much to lose, but it's what I do. I can certainly deny that, since it was all you! And I don't deserve the credit... but will accept it anyway!
Smart choice, preventing yourself from going through unnecessary pain that will lead to inevitable loss. I'll have to be the other adult and accept your resignation. :p
I volunteer myself for the position. I have some material to work with... And the good stuff I can make up!
But I feel like even if you do try out different characters/lifestyles/jobs, you're still you at the...
... core; maybe those types of changes aren't directly correlated with what someone is like as a person.
More or less... Only when I'm wearing my batwoman outfit. Shhh... ^_~
Clearly. Forget it.
Not exactly, considering no one really knows about this but my little brother... and you, but you don't count as you are merely a figment of my imagination thus far.
What do you really want?
Serendipitous? I would've thought you'd resent me for keeping you here. Since we're on the topic, why did you use a fake birthday for the other account?
Still! ... A big enough challenge to keep me from going through with it.
What if her transformation wasn't magical at all and they just wanted to trick you into believing that by making you get the napkins? O_O
We've had showers forever and a bathtub for about nine years now, I think. I've only ever set it up once for my little brother because he wanted to try it, and I don't think it's been used since. How much time do you spend in there? I...
... will not promise anything, but we shall see.
I already did. I'm gonna try my best to make you a single-edged sword then! :p
Always knew I'd be the cause of your death. Farewell!
You can keep the trophy, my cabinetโs chocka!
I did legs today at the gym, I can now see why the โbrosโ despise leg day so much.
Ha, Iโm the only extended family she sees besides grandparents, so maybe that explains it! lol. Although sheโs always been pretty shy around people outside her immediate family unit but not with me, I think weโre on a parity intellectually which probably helps. What did you do to fall out of favour? I donโt think heโs got the energy to disagree, poor bastard! Imagination was required, there were a few awkward silences.
Well it wasnโt my order, if it was Iโd certainly have made sure she had no wiggle room for a โmistakeโ.
Natural resources cannot be surpassed when it comes to working out, Iโve been considering utilizing a pack of wolves to spur me on during my morning run, but itโs just not practical Iโm afraid. So Iโll have to rely solely on "eye of the tiger"! lmao
Na, we met through colleagues/mutual friends. Yes, the disappointment was palpable, na...
... I felt like prey when she looked at me tbh. lol. Indeed, itโs rare for me to do such a thing but since youโre just a figment of my imagination thus far itโs okay! :p The plural was unnecessary as I kept my core boot files protected with the others. Because unless I see something in them itโll be for the sake of it; glumness will ensue.
It went relatively willingly in the end.
You take credit for other peopleโs willful misinterpretations? Shame on you!
Ok then [pats patronizingly on head] :p
Well youโre the sole candidate so youโre a shoe-in! Indeed, youโll have to get your creative writing cap on!
Sometimes people stay the same, but I think the majority of the time they change at the core although it wonโt be immediately apparent.
Maybe martyrdom was overcooking it, your suffering in silence earns you both my admiration and sympathyโฆ not that itโs of any consequence coming from a phantasm! In an ideal world I'd go back to school and study medicine or restorative dentistry...
... or become a chef/restaurateur, or work with animals. I donโt like to think about it much because it pains me. lol
Na, ultimately itโs not that much trouble! :p I know it might look dodgy but it ainโtโฆ if youโre going to have duel identities itโs wise to make them completely different to avoid suspicion, setting up a girlโs account would have been way too weird, even for me; so I chose a different age bracket. The law of sod dictates Iโll probably get banned now. lol
I fear for the surviving fish.
Thenโฆ Iโll never forgive them!
Depends, probably an hour sometimes. Itโs hot, it smells good and it feels like it relaxes and repairs you mentally and physically.
You ainโt never gon blunt ma edge mayne! Ha, I rose like a phoenix from the ashes! I feel like Iโm being verbose but it would actually take more thought to use fewer words and Iโm just too tired for that. I come, I spill my brain, I go to sleep!
I don't like trophies! So show-offy. I'm sure you'd like to display your GAG prize though.
I can't think of a reason to despise leg day, so feel free to share.
That seems like a reasonable explanation, since I can't see you being anyone's first choice to play barbies with. Then either she's quite smart or you're quite stoopid, which will it be? It's not that I'm not in their favor cause I am, I've just never been their favorite. It's more about what I don't do; I'm not very outgoing and friendly, I keep to myself most of the time, so obviously they won't feel close to me the way they do to my brothers. Well, now you know what to do for next time.
That's not nice!
I'm not so sure that it would take something as extreme as a pack of wolves to spur you on...
Ha, you don't hear guys saying that too often. Hearing that makes phantasm me feel very special. Real me... not so much. I don't know why GAG decided to put a random space between "relationship" and "(s)." So annoying! Anyway...
... I chose to use a plural because those relationships didn't work out either, for whatever reason, so they were usable in insulting your judgement. :p See what exactly?
Doesn't everyone? ._.
Never. Do that. Again. >_<
Na, not yet. I still have time.
Is there a reason you think that? I think at the core people remain the same. I don't know if this is a good analogy, but I compare people's physical change to their mental change. Since the highest degree of mental change occurs at a time that one experiences most physical changes (i. e. from, I guess, childhood to early twenties), then it kind of makes sense to me that most of the time they stay the same at the core mentally the way they do physically.
I'm not sure why you keep complimenting me... O_o
Nice! ... Except for restorative dentistry. Why would anyone want to do that? I would offer some advising crap at this point, but I know it would useless... as crap usually is. :p
Well, it is your choice.
It doesn't...
... necessarily look dodgy. I mean, it can be totally innocent... but it can also be dodgy. Why didn't you just deactivate this account? Oh, and do you always go anon? I'm a tad curious to know whether or not there's a chance I've seen you around before. Right, cause the admins have nothing better to do than read our conversation... ๐ They're probably not too happy with you right now!
As you should.
I wouldn't either if I were you... You're old enough to know the truth!
Well, I'm definitely in need of mental reparation, though I doubt that would be enough to fix all the damage.
Stop being so selfish.
Ugh, I hate to admit this, but... yay!
It's fine, I can handle your blabbing.
No thanks, Iโd be mortified if anyone in my real life knew I came on this website! Wait a minute, you calling me a show off? How dare you, Iโm a talented thespian!
Itโs not the same as using the upper body, if feels like it takes more effort and (for me at least at this early stage) it makes you walk funny on your way home.
True, I need a sister or effeminate brother to take the heat off. When I get asked to play barbies Iโm thinking โoh shitโ but I never let my face betray my thoughts, strangely enough I prioritize her happiness over my own; this is completely out of character for me. I think itโs bothโฆ you used โstoopidโ Iโm so proud of you! :p I was in your brothersโ position and my brother was in your position in the family.
Maybe not, but my curiosity had to be satisfied and it was only at the expense of a mere associate really. lol
Despite being pretty good at both sprint and cross country at school and lapping fooโs in the park; I abhor running!
I think thatโs because they...
... run a less sophisticated OS. lol. I suppose thatโs fair enough, I canโt stop you from compartmentalizing your feelings of specialness. Hmm, but I havenโt always had the same attitude, so with the others I knew it probably wouldnโt lastโฆ thatโs not to say I had a perfunctory attitude towards those relationships or treated the girls badly, I just didnโt know yet how deeply I could feel for someone elseโฆ so the investment wasnโt the same, the core boot files remained protected, and the same judgment wasnโt exercised, making the pluralโฆ redundant! :p Thereโs the old clichรฉs, plus some specifics, then thereโs that ethereal and unexplainable extra something that makes someone stand out to me, Iโve thought about it and I canโt dismiss it as simple laws of attraction/chemistry.
Mostly, because they donโt have a choice.
I canโt promise anything, but I know now that if I do do it again; it might be advisable to get one of those gloves vets wear when theyโre dealing with angry feral cats! :p
Thatโs not guaranteed, I could get struck by lightning tomorrow. I mean, itโs unlikely, but itโs not impossible.
I understand what youโre getting at. I suppose itโs from observation, Iโm not just looking at peopleโs core using their outward behavior as a litmus, although thatโs a part of it, itโs kind of how I think theyโre processing things internally.
Iโm unsure what the sentiment was, I was very tired, but it wasnโt really a compliment so you can rest easy!
Because itโs fascinating, intricate, challenging, practical work and it makes a difference, the function and appearance of the gob is very important. lol. Oh I duno, it can be used as fuel and fertilizer! :p
I know, but I felt it was worth the disclaimer as this is the internet and there are a lot of creeps around. Probably because itโs the original and itโs got a lot of xper, I might want to use a few giftcards one day but at the moment I just canโt be arsed to set up an amazon account or whatever faff will be necessary.
Most of my posting is done anonymously because Iโm allergic to the idea of reputation, followers and socializing. But I donโt really post much anymore anyway. Admin approval would beโฆ degrading!
:/
Does this mean Santa isnโt real either? Sniff
Itโs like a medi kit in a game, the health bar might not restore to 100% but it gives you what you need to get through it.
No!
Appreciating a good phoenix is nothing to be ashamed of, theyโre all fiery and immaculate!
Babbling is the preserve of old ladies, I ramble insanely thank you very much!
And Iโm spent.
No, my goal was to express how embarrassing and nonshow-off-worthy a GAG prize would be... But I guess I killed two birds with one stone there. Phew!
I'm sure us women would have no such problems. Well, expect for maybe me.
And what do you say to her? "I thought you'd never ask?" :p You say things like that, then say that you're good enough... I don't understand. I gave you the chance to praise both her and your intelligence, and you blew it. But at least you're honest. :p I'm very fond of my position. I just hate that others can't seem to accept the way I am.
Oh! Well, in that case, okay?
My fastest mile in High School was 8 minutes and 16 seconds, but my usual ones took about 9 to 10 minutes. I literally wanted to jump in front of a school bus when I knew we'd be running the mile that day. I'm not sure why I didn't... :p
No, you really can't.
... ... Whatever! Would you please just let me insult you in peace? I'd appreciate it.
Ethereal? ... No idea what you mean. It's for...
... the best though cause I probably wouldn't agree.
One has a choice about whether or not they want to take credit for something.
If you really think a glove will be enough to protect you, go ahead. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
Shh! You'll be lucky if I make it to your funeral on time. Since I'm the only candidate, I figure I'm free to do pretty much anything I want.
What do you mean by "processing things internally"? I'm not only looking at outward behavior, I just think that some important parts of a personality are genetically inherited, therefore won't change much.
That explains it. Very well!
It is important, I just wouldn't want to be the one to fix it.
Oh, please don't.
I know, that's why I asked. But, then again, a disclaimer isn't worth much.
So you've been here a while then.
Same here.
Then carry on.
O_O I really don't feel that I'm the right person to be discussing this topic with! You should ask your parents.
Get through what?
Fine!
I actually quite...
... like phoenixes, I even have a drawing of one.
That explains why I'd rather listen to old ladies.
Goodnight then.
BACK in the GYM as the hodgetwins would say, Iโm weak as a kitten now so I might have to revise that pat on the head!
Ha, there was a girl in there today who was essentially just a pair of legs and an ass and nothing else, it looked quite strange actually.
Itโs more like โalright then nini, which one shall I be?โ That doesnโt make me not good enough! You think honesty is the best policy eh? If I were youโฆ Iโd tell โem to sod off! lol
Mmmkay!
I regularly forged medical notes to get out of sports, Iโd go for a cigarette or a joint instead, this made the regular selection to run and play football for the school even more hilarious, at least to me.
Since you ask so kindlyโฆ no. :p
Itโs lucky Iโm not seeking your concurrence then!
True, choice can always be influenced though.
In contrast to yesterday, the weather has been alright today so I donโt think Iโll get hit by lightningโฆ I even put the washing out to dry!
How people react to the various trials and tribulations of life. I think..
.. youโre right about genetically inheriting certain faculties, how fixed they are Iโm not sure but Iโve actually got a couple of programs on the subject queued up and if they shed any scientific light on the subject Iโll get back to you, hopefully life has more of an influence than genetics and I will be right! :p
Why, are you squeamish? Oh donโt worry, I wonโtโฆ I used to work in a climbing center with a โgreen policyโ and they had a staff meeting with a bunch of hippy consultants who were talking about using human waste on the crops they grew in the garden and sold in the cafรฉ, I couldnโt believe my ears and told them I wouldnโt be eating from the cafรฉ anymore, it started a revolt and the plan was scrapped. Idiots.
I know it isnโt, but I donโt exactly have much evidence to the contrary at my disposal and if I were to protest my innocence too much Iโd look more guilty of creepiness, so Iโll just leave it there. Yeah, I signed up years ago, asked one question then left, then...
... returned when I had a random notification in my email. Iโd forgotten what this place was and I stayed out of morbid fascination, which has waned!
lol, when my brother found out Santa wasnโt real he flipped out apparently and called my parents liars, I just pretended to believe to get more prezzies!
Get through the next friggin day!
Of course, they look like raptors to me, thereโs plenty of birds of prey on the magic list! I imagine itโd be quite satisfying to sit down and draw an awesome picture of a phoenix!
That was the second time I wrote "expect" instead of "except." It's like my hand subconsciously favors going to P when I'm not thinking about it. O_o
Should I know who the hodgetwins are?
You do that.
You say that like you expected that type of body to, well... not look strange.
How sweet. Her name is Nini?
Okay, then! So defensive.
That depends on a lot of things, I guess. It is certainly the most honorable policy though.
I know you would.
Of course you did. I only gave myself two options: kill myself or run, as lying isn't something I usually consider doing. What do you mean, that you joined the teams?
Seriously! I'm sure you could manage to find at least a couple of nice things I've said before to repeat. You're making me seem... disagreeable. You thought I was asking kindly? ... I need to start conveying my emotions better.
Great. We're at an understanding.
Influence is not likely to be necessary when the choice is to take credit for something one deems...
... positive.
And what have you noticed, in general? Of course the environment has quite the influence! I'm just saying that you shouldn't underestimate the power of genetics. You even said in the beginning that you don't think you'd be too different from the way you are now even if your parents had raised you better. Hopefully! Since I don't really mind and you obviously do. :p
No, not at all. I'd just really rather not think about feces being used for anything. Idiots indeed. You're quite the hero!
You should have left it where it was last time cause I know this, and I know that you do too. :p
Must have been an important question.
So, you always knew Santa Claus wasn't real? Or did you find out from someone else? Since you were able to keep pretending with your parents. My parents never really mentioned Santa Claus and we didn't really celebrate Christmas either. Though one time my uncle did dress up as Santa and fooled us little ones, but later removed the costume; I took...
... it just fine. Other than that, I'm not sure how I would've reacted.
Getting through the day isn't a problem.
Like raptors, but better. Well, I still have the drawing, but I can't remember anything about the moment I drew it, so I'm guessing it must not have been that satisfying. Maybe for you it would be different though, who knows? You should try it. :p
lol how strange! Why would that happen?
Everyone should know who the hodgetwins are.
I would, itโs just Iโd never seen anything like it and itโs not often I see something and find it that strange.
Na, thatโs what she used to call herself when she couldnโt say her name properly, when you were holding her sheโd see something, point to it, and say โniniโ, which meant she wanted it or wanted to have a look at it, so I called her that since.
Yeah yeah, whaโeva! :p
Depends on a lot of thingsโฆ like for example?
You took it pretty seriously then, the way I saw it lying to get out of cross country wasnโt a big deal. I was usually picked for the team because I was good enough to be there when I could be arsed, you have an easier time if you show youโre half decent at sports at school.
I suppose I am still feeling buoyed by the omniscient comment! Yeah, I thought it was pretty civil.
That we are. :p
I think people have ideas of stages in their life and how they deal with steering themselves..
... influences how they think and feel about things, what they value, and what and who theyโre concerned with, depending on how it all goes how they are might be quite different. Of course I consider myself the exception to the rule.
I was referring to squeamishness in relation to the dentistry, I wouldnโt expect anyone to be comfortable with the idea of human poop on food crops.
I will drop the spade now.
It was, very!
I remember thinking it out and coming to the conclusion that it wasnโt plausible, then there was a discussion between some kids at school and I knew I wasnโt the only one who smelled a rat in the whole Santa Clause story. How come you didnโt โdoโ xmas?
Congratulations!
How long do you reckon it took you? If you suck at drawing it takes ages to do anything decent so it puts you off, but weโll see, maybe I could draw one bit by bit in the back of a notepad... it might even be better than yours! :p
Hell if I know. My guess is that typing "expect" just flows a bit better. ... I bet you wanna test it now.
So tell me then.
You're making me very curious to see if she's as strange in real life as she is in my imagination. It's on the list of things I'll never know.
You're the only one that calls her that?
I want to know your thoughts on the phrase first, which naturally means you should/will comply.
True, it's not a big deal. Although I bet your teachers would disagree. Easier time? Why? And when you say football, do you mean American football?
I suppose I only have myself to blame. ,_, I cannot believe you thought I was being civil and didn't try to keep the peace!
Damn it, I can't argue with that. :p However, thankfully, I can argue with you being the exception to the rule... But I'm not in the mood.
Ohh, well the same answer is applicable. What I mean is if I had to fix someone's teeth (no matter how bad they might be) I could do it with no problem, I'd just...
... not to. Teeth are quite interesting, but not enough for me to want to deal with 'em everyday. Getting into someone's brain is what I would do... But I should contain my excitement, since people aren't exactly thrilled about needing brain surgery.
So you remember it. There's no chance of you telling me what the question was, is there?
What did you think wasn't plausible about it? ... If you can even remember. I don't know, I guess my parents (dad especially) don't really care about things like that. My mom does occcasionally get us (aka me) to put up a Christmas tree now though.
Thanks... >_>
It also depends on the size of the drawing. Mine wasn't that big so it didn't take too long; maybe like half an hour. You do not want to make that bet, and I say that with full sincerity.
You mean you expect I wanna test it!
They make fitness videos on youtoob.
I think theyโre probably similarly strange, even if I donโt know exactly what youโre imagining.
Na, the others do occasionally now.
On honesty always being the best policy? I donโt think itโs always the best policy, I donโt mind bullshitting at work when I have to and Iโm generally not open with people about things like where I used to work and what I used to get up to. But I wouldnโt really consider myself a lying bastard because Iโm probably honest where it matters. I suppose it boils down to who needs to know what, different people have different levels of security clearance.
Of course they would, they took their work very seriously! lol. Social status depends heavily on sporting ability at school, being on the team is like joining a gang in prison so you get left aloneโฆ I think I mentioned before how school was like jail! No, I didnโt mean American football.
Ha, I should warn you I will be...
... dining out on that for quite some time! Me neither, I wonโt make the same mistake againโฆ from now on I will treat you as hostile until proven otherwise. :p
You must be disappointed, but as youโre not in the mood to argue over me being the exception to the rule I bet you can't be that disappointed, so now Iโm disappointed.
I think I also like it because you can admire your handy work afterwards. Yeah, having a neurosurgeon who came across a bit too keen might be concerning, funny though. So you wanna operate on peopleโs brains?
Nah.
I think it was the supposed stopping of time that really gave it away. Do you feel like you missed out or want to do a proper xmas?
Welcomeโฆ <_<
You never know, I might fluke a brilliant masterpiece! But probably not.
Yes, except you won't admit it.
Ah, and you luk at these youtoob videos? :p
Don't bother trying; you can't fix this.
Aw, it was supposed to be your thing. ๐
Okay then, my turn. Well, "best policy" implies that it's the best course of action to be followed and that you should try to follow it at all times. If you feel the need to lie, it's gonna be because you expect the consequences of the truth to be directly hurtful to the one lying and/or the one being lied to. So it will likely not lead to a favorable outcome most of the time, since people don't/can't think of honesty as being worth much... and even if they do it doesn't usually change anything. On the other hand, it does prevent you from needing to keep up with future lies in some instances and I assume that matters to people more than doing right by others. Looking at the selfless side of it, then I would say that you have to take into account the effect that the lie will have on the particular person and whether you're...
... lying to protect them or yourself. I could go on forever, so I'll just stop here.
They do though... for reasons, which is why it's a bit shocking that you got away with it so often. Have you? I can't recall. Maybe that's more relevant for guys than it is for girls, unless you count cheerleading as a sport. I never joined anything and I was very successful in being left alone. I can see why you weren't though, as we were quite different.
I could easily crush you, but that wouldn't be nice... No, I can't get any less hostile than this!
You're right, I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't content either... But now that you're disappointed, I feel what I can only describe as pure happiness. What you said doesn't necessarily prove anything contrary to my opinion, by the way.
That really would be satisfying, I guess I never thought about it. You have my approval. ^_^ I can fake the sorrow. :p Yes, I would like it! If I'm gonna go down this route might as well try to go all the way...
... and make it worthwhile.
Fine. My guess is probably pretty accurate anyway.
Interesting. I don't think I care, really. I'm sure it would be fun in theory, but unless someone got me to do it, I probably wouldn't ever bother. ... I have slight issues. -_-
... But mine exceeds brilliance. :p The only good that's gonna come out of this for you is that you'll find out what you're capable of. There's also a slight chance that your niece would keep it... if you offer it to her... for free.
Touchรฉ.
Yeah, I โav a good butcherโs at โem!
I donโt intend to, hopefully Iโve planted a monster!
It was solely my thing until it got hijacked recently, I think my parents are tryinaโ encroach on our bond! lol
Those are all reasonable points, itโs a subject with a lot of depth. On the selfless side I think honesty is worth a fair bit because a lot of trust hinges on it.
I got away with more than most! lol. I think soโฆ but I canโt either! Yeah the girls had it easy, unless they were considered undesirable in which case I imagine their life was hell. Lucky you! I imagine you managed to sneak under the radar somehow. Yeah, I draw attention for no discernible reason and I have to live with it! :p
Are you sure crush is the right word, I think pop would be more appropriate given the tension my over-inflated ego must be under. So this is you being nice, perhaps you were a honey badger in a previous life!
Ok you win this battle, but the war isnโt over and I intend to...
... sour your happiness which will make mine all the sweeter when I claim some for myself! I AM the expection to the rule! :p
Itโs not gonna happen though so you can put the approval back in the jar for another time. A guy who used to climb at my gym moved to the USA to โbecome a brain surgeonโ, though he competes for the country he was born in and intends to move back apparently. He wasnโt a clever bastard but he had bags of enthusiasm and he really was an excellent climber, I wonder whether heโll pull it off. Iโve always looked at the medical profession and surgery in particular as being similar to the arts at an elite level, itโs not like a typical job producing powerpoint presentations and sitting round posturing with bellends over the inconsequential, thereโs almost something divine about it! I like your approach, you have my approval!
Your guess is?
I was gonna say you should talk to my mother, because she HATES Christmas, but since youโre not bothered I suppose itโs a bit of a...
... moot point. What are these issues and do they extend to things like birthdays? Iโm not fussed about that sort of stuff either these days, but I like seeing my brotherโs kids all excited and happy on Christmas and birthdays.
Then so will mine, I can aim higher since I havenโt drawn it yet! :p I send her stuff in the mail sometimes because she likes to receive correspondence, which I think is amazing and hilarious. I have some of her artwork but she has none of mine, so I suppose it would be good to reciprocateโฆ my brother would probably see it and laugh at it though! lol
Uh-huh, why?
You did intend to.
I'm sure Nini is just as upset as you are. (I didn't mean to encroach on your bond there.) I get the feeling Nini is your favorite. No one else, only Nini, I repeat, Nini. (Okay, maybe I did, a little.)
Yes, trust is earned, for me at least, and you can't achieve that without honesty. But also, in my opinion, a person worthy of my trust should rarely feel the need to lie anyway because they will rarely ever do anything to hurt me. If it happens, they won't (ultimately) lie due to the trustworthy person that they are and I'd probably forgive them after some time because it is a rare occurrence. Yes, I do realize that this is all too idealistic.
How? Why?
I really don't think so... Don't make me make you go back and reread our entire conversation! :p I don't know, in my experience popularity is more about how outgoing you are than it is about looks. Well, I was there physically, but not mentally. I went, got the required information and left. I...
... was quite popular as a kid though, due to my free nature, but that had its down side. I can think of at least 100 reasons why you drew attention... and they're not all in your favor.
I suppose, but crushing you just sounds more satisfying when I imagine it.
I just don't get that feeling...
You want to rid me of happiness? Easy. You don't have do anything to make that happen. Okay then, my mistake. ... Wait a minute, did you just (intentionally and unintentionally) agree with me?
My approval is out there, do with it what you will.
Enthusiasm can get you far, I hear. Let us pray for him! That helps, I also hear. :p
I guess it's similar in that you have to be meticulous... and stuff like that. I'm sure the fact that I highly prefer it over other medical professions is tied to my artistic side. I wasn't seeking your approval, as I knew I would have it.
Well, you know... The most commonly asked question by the guys of GAG, of course. ^_~ :p
Why does she hate it? I'm sure we...
... could find a common ground after a few hours of heavy discussion. :p
My issues are of no importance, and they extend to basically everything.
You know, you can be very... endearing.
The problem is that you haven't seen mine, so you won't know how high to aim. And if you do see it, you'll just want to give up. Either way, you lose. :p I'm just trying to help you here.
What kind of stuff do you send her, just letters? Does she have your brother's skills? Aw, no, don't think like that! ... I'm sure he wouldn't be the only one laughing.
... And goodnight!
Inspiration/entertainment I suppose.
No I didnโt, I was feeding the monster!
I ainโt mad, you got it all wrong; in this context itโsโฆ โTHE Nini or THAT Niniโ. Although the love gets shared out equally among familyโฆ the easiest way to put it is I feel less resentful doing as she commands than I do acquiescing to the othersโ requests. lol. Now stop encroaching! :p
For me thatโs ideal in someone I emotionally invest in, but I havenโt done that with anyone in a long time, mostly because I havenโt seen the potential in anyone to fulfil those criteria when it comes to trust. I think thereโs also an element of needing to trust someone enough to be able to be open with them and be truthful with themโฆ as so many people canโt handle the truth! lol.
I was able to talk my way out of trouble and smoke screen it enough so as to make a lesser deal out of things. Teachers tend to be stoopid! Iโm semi-sure I did, the only reason I would do that would be to prove you wrong, not because you made me!
Where I went to school it was all about looks among the girls and they determined a girlโs place in the pecking order, the most popular ones had next to nothing to say. The outgoing thing was more true for the guys, it was partly about looks too, how good you were at sports, and how โhardโ (tough) you were. lol. The way thatโs written makes me think you infiltrated school rather than attended it and stole the information rather than learned it! What do you mean by โfree natureโ, were you a little hippie or somethin? :p But I attract attention even when Iโm not beingโฆ however it is I am. Having said that the borderline reclusive lifestyle is working quite well at the moment, I only see or hear from a couple of people these days. Not in my favor? But, Iโm poifect!
Well, you wouldnโt be the first person to try!
I was thinking more along the lines of pissing on your cornflakes or taking the jam out of your doughnut, not ridding you of happiness entirely! I was once devoid of happiness...
... it all changed when I found some money down the back of the sofa, perhaps you should go and have a look! I did nothing of the sort!
I will stuff it in a Kilner jar and put it in the cupboard for safekeeping.
It can help, but you need more! Having rich parents is enough, us praying for him would be too much! For me the comparison extends to other types of surgery too, but that might be the ultimate. But do you know WHY you have it?
Which is? I have two ideas in my head and itโs neither of those.
I imagine she felt the strain of Christmas when the family was young and made a martyr of herself, she implodes under pressure. A couple of hours of heavy discussion with my mother doesnโt end well for most people! lmao. They are of a little importance, my curiosity must lend them some pertinence at least!
WAT? You take that back!
Well you know what they say, one manโs art is another manโs rubbishโฆ so even if yours is beyond brilliant; there might be some blind people who's prefer mine! If...
*who'd
... I saw yours it would only serve as inspiration to toil over my own piece, probably to the point of madnessโฆ I get competitive, when I can be arsed. Usually some random magazines with coloring in, stickers and some random toy that needs assembling in them. Sheโll be over that soon though and Iโll have to think of something else. My brother sent me a book he used for an exam back in the day, it was actually his fiancรฉ that did the sending but the Nini put a collage in there as well, which will be kept, thereโs something hilarious about correspondence with her! Meh, on reflection he can have that laugh, he needs it!
My impeccable manners require me to wish you sweet slumber as well, whenever you get itโฆ so as I'm off to bed, nightynight!
I watched a few videos, they're pretty entertaining, maaan!
Okay, that's what you were doing.
I feel excluded. ;_; Is there a reason that she's, well, your favorite?
How are you so sure that they didn't fit the criteria? True, and so many people can't keep things to themselves. At the same time, if you do a lot of crap you can't exactly expect someone to handle it every time just because you're honest.
That reminds me of my brother. He recently got pulled over for driving on the shoulder cause he was late for work and his excuse was that his sister was out in the city all night and he was rushing to go get her. ... Somehow, I'm always there for him! :p
You just didn't. I don't care why you do it, just as long as you do.
Here, the same applied for girls, except for the tough part, obviously. The popular ones were usually cheerleaders and, since I was quite an observer, I noticed they were usually loud and talkative. Many weren't extremely pretty and one or two were a bit...
... chubby, but they all did dress objectively well.
Maybe I did...
lol No, I guess I should've worded that better. I meant that I spoke my mind, which in itself wasn't a bad thing cause I was never bullied or made fun of. But, there were a couple of instances where others would get bullied, I would stand up for them and they would turn on me for that day, then stop altogether. Kids... I joke, but to be honest, it's possibly a contributing factor to why I'm so closed off. This is part of the "theory" that I wouldn't tell you about before. Congratulations.
I guess you'll just have to live with it then. Perfect... Don't make me laugh.
I will be the last.
I don't eat either of those much, so I really wouldn't mind. Is this you trying to make me happy? Already you forget your aim...
It doesn't need safekeeping if you're never going to make use of it, which you won't. Just flush it down the drain instead! Now.
I meant that's why I prefer surgery, in general. The reason I...
... specifically prefer brain surgery is simply because the brain is most intriguing to me. Sure I do. You've said, and I quote, "you'll be alright financially, the work isn't meaningless bullshit alongside assholes... and depending on what you do exactly you'll be making your mark on the planet in a positive way. Your influence and its ripple effect will live on after you are gone. I like the idea of legacy." I think that sums it up, right?
A "thing" that only guys can have issues with, a question you'll easily find the answer to (in every inch possible) if you just do a quick search, the tiny reason for GAG's continued existence. Don't make me say it. :p
That's reasonable, I thought you were gonna say she's a firm supporter of The Grinch or something. What's the worst that could happen, we'd become close buddies?
Not now.
I didn't mean it! I'm a terrible person. ._.
Blind art judges... Oh, you! That's tempting me to show you even more... But I won't.
How cute! Not...
... you, her! I don't know of any kid that's into correspondence. Enjoy it while you still can then.
You act like his life is torture... Are you younger or older?
My slumber was sweet while it shortly lasted.
Indeed they are!
Uhu, even monsters need a little encouragement sometimes.
Iโm always getting encroached on and now Iโm supposed to feel sympathy for the encroachers? Damn! :p I duno, I suppose sheโs a sweet little thingโฆ sheโs funny and I like the way she laughs, sheโs smart and very observant, sheโs got endearing little idiosyncrasies like enjoying getting mailโฆ but sheโs a bit shy around people and so many other kids her age are loud and pushy and actually quite irritating! lol
Ultimately gut feeling, I see in so many people a lack of depth, decency and sincerity, I could go on with being scathing of the 99.99% but I donโt have the energy. Yeah, quite a few times Iโve been told very private things about other people and sat there thinking of the person telling me โyou really suck, wtf is wrong with you!โ lol. Yeah, a lot of people out there play that card. Personally Iโm careful not to hurt the people I value, for multiple reasons, and itโs very rare indeed for me to have to...
... ask for forgiveness.
Traffic cops, where I live they wouldnโt believe that and the odds are it wouldnโt help you if they did. Nice try though I suppose. lol. Well itโs good to be dependable, even in absence!
My eyes are dry slits right now, Iโm almost tempted to say I didnโt, even though Iโm quite sure I did, just to get out of it! :p
I forgot to mention material stuff, if you didnโt have the latestโฆ whatever it was, then you could just eff right off! lol. That was true for everyone. They donโt really have cheerleading here, I think thatโs probably for the best. Thatโs very American- if youโre gobby youโll be alright! Chubby girls were massively vulnerable to being insulted over their weight, some knew it and kept reasonably quiet, others overcompensated.
I can empathize with that, you see I went to a few different schools and I wasnโt consistently the energetic kid getting into bullshit, with lots to say; so I wasnโt consistently the popular kid. I got picked on for...
... a short while when I started one school until I put a stop to it. Ultimately people are fickle in the first place and they take liberties if they think they can, then theyโll risk their safety because theyโve got no sense. As you say, kidsโฆ but thatโs one of the many contributing factors to me being closed off too, even if Iโve gotten good at not seeming that way. I think it really compounded my sense of principles and values, I say compounded but I donโt think the end result has been negative and I donโt think being closed off is either actually. Now I worry youโll read into that and think Iโm potentially violent and unhinged, Iโm really not! lol. I do feel congratulated, I may even fluff my pillow before getting into bed to mark the occasion!
Iโm slipping into the role nicely, the Kleenex boxes I wear on my feet are becoming quite comfortable. Well, good enough then, passable! lol
Donโt make ME laugh! :p
Itโs a good thing those were just figures of speech then. Dang, I told you..
... my short term memoryโs knackered! Although I could be building you up only to knock you down and then climb the ropes in the corner, proclaiming to be the GOAT!
I might not make use of it, but I wonโt make use of half the stuff in that cupboard either, so no, I will hoard it!
I find it intriguing too, mainly because itโs so baffling as a concept. Did I say thatโฆ such poetry! lol. That was part of the reason I spose, but also itโs the aiming high and wanting to make the most of the opportunity, even if itโs difficult.
You're kidding me! That was one of the two possibilities I was thinking of though to be fair, so no it wasnโt that. lol
She does like The Grinch! That would be the least likely outcome.
Ok.
Thatโs BETTER!
Thinking about it who said art has to be visual? No surprises there! :p
I know, the whole idea of it tickles me.
Thatโs because it is! Iโm younger by quite a lot! Lol
My slumber has been terrible, but Iโll reap the reward of making up the deficit... right now!
It's kinda funny how much their necks differ. It seems as though one of them did more neck exercises.
Well, you suck at it.
Your sympathy isn't necessary, as I'm sure I have the Nini's. Her opinion is more important to me anyway. :p I'm sure her shyness will go away. I know plenty of people that used to be shy as kids and became outgoing as teenagers and vice versa.
It's just weird that you haven't found one person in, what you say, has been such a long time. Unless you haven't been trying, which is partly my case. I've been in situations like that. I would be thinking the same thing while occasionally nodding along and staying quiet. What are these multiple reasons?
That's what he told me, and I don't think he'd lie about something that silly, though he does tend to exaggerate. Perhaps the cop was just feeling lenient. The point is, he is usually pretty good at getting away with things.
I'd be okay with that.
It wasn't much about material stuff here. I'm sure the popular...
... ones probably had the latest things, but if some others did too, it didn't make them automatically popular. Did you ever think that maybe that's just the way they were? It might not have had much to do with their weight.
What did they pick on you for? You do realize that when I said, "they would turn on me..." I meant the bullies not the kids being bullied, right? ... Just to make sure. You were pretty good at pretending to not be closed off, since you chose to share some pretty private things about yourself right away. This made it seem like you were open until you chose not to share other things that came up later on. So, my question is, how do you decide what you want to be open/closed about? I'm not good at seeming open cause it takes energy to pretend and I'm not in the mood... ever. I'm naturally pretty quiet too, so even if I was open, I'd probably seem closed off. You're worried about what I think... This is quite odd! Even if I did read into it, I don't see how I...
... could deduce that you're violent and unhinged; don't worry.
Nothing better than a fluffed pillow, seriously. Which reminds me...
I can't see why they wouldn't be, as long as you leave some tissues in there. :p Passable, yes, I'm glad you realize. I won't.
It's a good thing I was joking... in a serious way, then.
You have NEVER told me that, ever, until now, which proves the horrible memory you have. :p
Well, one of my guesses was that you were hoping I'd look behind a sofa, find nothing, and feel a fresh, coin-shaped hole in my heart, but I thought I'd give you the benefit of the doubt. My mistake. Anyway, as I'm too lazy to look, I'll just be content with my current state.
I no longer want you to have it!
And so squishy! Just kidding. Ugh, this again... Yes, you said that! :p Very poetic! ... You must've stolen it somewhere. Oh, I've always aimed high. My problem is actually doing what is needed to get there. I tend to want instant gratification lately, and when I...
... don't see myself getting it, I don't want to bother trying. Of course, I've picked the most critical time to be this way. A part of me feels as if I enjoy sabotaging myself, with everything.
Nah, I didn't think it was; it had to have been either your second or third question. :p What was your other guess? To be serious, I think the theme of your first question was about your relationship with that girl you love (d), considering the site you came to.
Does she like the movie or his philosophy? I disagree, but what is the most likely outcome then?
It is. I should comply more often.
I'm really not sure... Maybe it was implied since we're talking about drawings of phoenixes, but what do you suggest? Nope, none.
... And you don't like being tickled? :p
Why, does he say this to you? I figured you were. "Quite a lot" meaning?
Good. I also took a little unwanted, involuntary nap just now, since I only got about three hours of sleep last night.
I noticed that and put it down to posture, which I imagine affects the size of the muscles over time.
Thanks so much!
You probably do, sheโs conscientious! Thatโs totally understandable and I donโt feel a jot of sadness about that. :p I hope so, the main thing is that sheโs robust enough to handle what comes her way, naturally my brother is sending her private so she doesnโt have to mix with miscreants! lol
I havenโt been trying but Iโve had my eyes openโฆ although Iโm not sure Iโd feel like going for it if I spotted one of those rare people I deem good enough, at least not at the moment. Iโve been asked out but I declined. I think for a start itโs an innate thing, then thereโs just the awareness of what youโre doing and how it might affect themโฆ and the question; do I want to hurt this person/people I cherish? Noโฆ because thatโs just how I feel AND because it would be stupid, it wouldnโt make sense. Then thereโs just the principle of it; I canโt be an asshole. Also if I value them...
... I think it's worth preserving how they think of me, which is hopefully as positive as I think of them. Then technically (but not manipulatively) there's track record to keep up so the sentiment stays in place. It's layered and weird.
Well who knows what happened, but I like his style! lol.
I know you would. :p
It didnโt automatically make you popular but it definitely improved your stock. In a couple of them yeah, but not enough to make me not generalize. I could see the wanting to be more involved and the holding back. With the overcompensating it was pretty blatant self-preservation stuff.
Kids find excuses to pick on other kids, so it was nothing of meaning because there wasnโt any material there really. So initially it was just because I was quiet and didnโt make the effort. That gave way to shoesโฆ I had to get a new pair because my feet grew a bit just before term, around then Iโd heard my dad explaining to my mother how much financial pressure he was underโฆ so when we went..
... to buy some I just chose some cheap ones and told him I didnโt give a shit and theyโd do fineโฆ I knew perfectly well what could come of it but just decided Iโd handle it. I hadnโt killed enough brain cells yet either and somehow it was obvious to them I was clever, which they took the piss out of. Thatโs as far as it got. Yeah I realize that. lol. Well thatโs partly because this is anonymous, I wouldnโt tell people IRL. I also didnโt know weโd be talking this long :p I made and drank a cup of tea while I thought about that question, and Iโm still not clear on it so will have to come back to itโฆ I need sleep and since my brain has stalled I could be here for ages, thinking and getting nowhere. Iโve learned to do it so that it doesnโt take too much energy. Well thereโs zero pretense about that and youโre unapologetic about itโฆ good in my book! Itโs more the injustice of being judged as something Iโm not, so no need to raise an eyebrow. Well saying I beat people up ultimately just...
... for mocking me doesnโt look great does it? lol
And I have a damn good pillow, goose down!
That would be a decadent waste of tissues! Iโm afraid you already have :p
Yeah, I go blank over words sometimes too and forget what Iโm doing in the middle of tasks. I had considered the possibility of disappointment, as you have brothers itโs likely theyโd beat you to the punch over spare change in the sofa. I canโt feel shame about being willing to take that risk! Contently unhappy, is that an oxymoron?
Which makes it all the sweeter! :p
No you werenโt. And no I didnโtโฆ 100% original, real good shit, on the mic! lmao
I donโt know whatโs causing you to be like that but I do understand what youโre saying. What works for me is almost visualizing and approaching the work I know is necessary and conducive to that sparkling goalโฆ not literally but almost like, a big row of light blue bricks, the task is to to get rid of them and even if I donโt feel like it; itโs just necessary in the short...
... term to pick one up, sign it off and be done with it, chuck it in a pile not far away and move on to the next one, the foreboding row is already a bit smaller, and reallyโฆ thank fuck for that! You start to get satisfaction out of the progress of making the row shrink, then you get into a rhythm with what youโre doing and it makes it easier to keep your head down. That might be the deepest insight into my brain anyoneโs ever had. lol. You really should look at what happened to me as a deterrent for self-sabotage and indulging the wrong things at a critical time! Donโt feel the pressure, just sit in your opportunity and enjoy itโฆ of course this is all waffle from a washed up old man who thinks itโs hindsight! lol
I donโt think Iโve asked a penis question, if I did it would have been for the same reasons Iโll look up rude words when thereโs a dictionary knocking about. Aaaaaah it wasnโt that either, good guess though! :p
Both. It usually ends with the other party in total confusion...
... and her stewing in incandescent rage for a while. lol
But you wonโtโฆ I know better than to expect that! :p
It was indeed implied, I was being quite perverse. I donโt know, drawings but etched into quite thick paper and reversed so thereโs texture there, kinda like braille, could use pointillism.
Spiritually, sometimes. Physically, never.
He says heโs tired, I know his routine and I admire him a lot for it. Nearly 10 years.
I napped this afternoon, I sleep better during the day. I donโt know how Iโm so tired and so loquacious in these messages at the same time, itโs just hysteria really... I will reform!
Right, who the hell does neck exercises! :p Plus, you can tell their bodies, in general, are pretty different.
My pleasure. ^_^
You could learn a thing or two from your niece. Good, but if she wants to mix with miscreants, that won't stop her, it'll just make it harder.
Your idea of a good enough person clearly comprises of many things. I'm no longer surprised that you haven't found someone, instead I now wonder whether you'll ever manage to find anyone. Good luck. Why wouldn't you go for it at the moment?
Nicely put. Do you think anyone influenced this mentality?
I can't say that I always feel the same.
... Only because the outcome would be the same if you were to go back and look! Only less effort on your part.
I could see it improving your stock and even making you instantly popular if you were extremely rich and a show off, but no one really did that sort of thing where I attended. How would they try to overcompensate?
They picked on you for being quiet/your...
... shoes. Stoopid jerks! I imagine the guy that I stood up for got picked on because he was extremely overweight, even though they didn't directly say anything about that. You did that! ... For your parents! I'm just truly... speechless.
Good. I won't tell you why I thought otherwise cause it'd be pointless, but don't mock me!
See, that would make sense, but that doesn't explain why you keep some things to yourself. How does the length of our conversation change anything? You don't have to answer any of this if you don't want to, by the way. It's a free... world, sort of.
Please! What does an extrovert have to learn about being extroverted? ... Don't bother, you wouldn't understand. It'd be a different story if you knew me in real life, which you wouldn't. I don't judge... that's a lie. Hold on, where does it imply that you beat 'em up?
That depends on perspective, I suppose.
I refuse to believe that.
I will not use this knowledge to my advantage. :p
Nah, they don't...
... possess such intelligence. They're more likely to look in the kitchen drawers. Idiots! :p
It's just how I feel, okay.
Stop! This is painful.
I forbid you from ever... Forget it. I feel in an accepting mood today, so fine. Though, I suddenly feel obligated to take back my "very poetic" comment. But it's nothing against you, really.
This question is haunting me so I must ask, why are the bricks light blue? I understand, it makes you realize that you really are accomplishing something, slowly but surely. Although I imagine the only way I'd get satisfaction is by attempting to kick those bricks down. -_- It's quite interesting in there, I admit.
I actually have looked at your story as a deterrent. It worked for a bit, then I forgot about it.
Pressure does have a tremendously negative effect on me. I feel overwhelmed and instead of working harder, I do whatever it takes to get away from that feeling.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You didn't have to bother though, so... thank you.
You don't THINK you've asked a penis question? It's not something that's easily forgettable, you know. Am I able to make an informed guess as to what the question was based on knowledge I have of you? If it was on a topic we've never talked about, I'll never be able to guess; I'll just give up.
Rarely ever do I feel confusion at the end of a conversation.
It happened once, it could happen again.
That would mean more work for me and more effort for you, with the same end result. Plus, I bet I'm better now than I was years ago, so you'll be at a higher disadvantage. But if that's what you want, who am I to refuse? :p
I imagine I'd loathe it either way.
Ah, that explains it. You guys seem to be close. My brothers are both closer to me than they are to each other. Wow, what the hell were your parents up to? lol
Why do you sleep better during the day?
I'll admit to being a bit scared when I realized I'd have to reply to this little book you've written, but I used the brick...
... method. ^_^ I've never felt so mentally deflated; I'll take to you in a couple of years. :p We can start with a simple "hey" again, stop once it gets to this, and repeat.
Boxers and Formula 1 drivers! :p
Or three or four! I think the idea is to segregate her in case of bullying; as sheโs a shy little thing she wouldnโt stand up for herself.
Yeah, poor me! lol. Thanks I need all the help I can get, good luck may be an essential ingredient. Iโm just not feeling it I suppose, then thereโs practical reasons; Iโll move into my dadโs place soon and although itโs not like living at home it means I havenโt got a place I can call my own, thatโs loosery at this age, Iโm gonna quit work too while I study the bullshit for the bullshit career Iโll have and you canโt have a girlfriend while youโre living off savings, plus Iโm out of shape, not really overweight or anything just a bit flabby so I feel unattractive. lol
No, thatโs just the way it is with me.
Thatโs natural sometimes with siblings.
Hey if you want to claim an artificial victory itโs all yours! :p
Lucky you. I detested materialism at school, not because it was out of my grasp, but because it brought about...
... a smug satisfaction those kids hadnโt earned, it wasnโt their money, it was their parentsโ money. Later on I rinsed them by selling tiny amounts of weed for stupid amounts of money.
By being bolshie and bitchy, to kids that looks strong, but it didnโt fool me.
It was irritatingly stoopid. Yeah, at all the schools I went to; the fattys had it hard. I took the heat off them a fair bit when I was in the position to, but I knew they couldnโt be saved and (although I thought about it) I wasnโt going to go on some moral crusade against bullying because I decided it wasnโt my responsibilityโฆ and that Iโd use it as ammunition when I was in hot water. lol
Well, they are family. But speechless is good; youโre aware thereโs no halo above my head. :p
I wouldnโt dare!
Then I shall plead the 5th on keeping some things to myself and agree that the length of the conversation is actually inconsequential and I donโt know what I was thinking when I wrote that! :p I am having comprehension problems...
... with this bit so youโre right there. Probably not, Iโm just too cool for you IRL 8) When I read judged back I realized I meant perceived, I was also going to say so far I havenโt felt judged, but I know you be sat there judginโ. I think I mentioned something about people risking their safety and me putting a stop to being picked on, I would have thought it was obvious I wasnโt implying that I appealed to their sense of moral decency. Lol
No it doesnโt, goose down is the shit and if anyone has a different perspective theyโre a philistine and their opinion counts for nothing!
Then youโre in denial!
Good, I knew I could trust youโฆ bahaha.
But, the kitchen drawer is where foreign money is kept.
Okay! I suspect broaching that subject would be quite the can of worms anyway :p
I know it is! :D
As youโre in an accepting mood Iโll strike while the iron is hot and tell you that I jarred the โvery poeticโ sentiment too, although it wonโt last long, Iโll have it on toast tomorrow morning.
Thatโs just how I picture them, if they were another color in my mind Iโd walk away from them. In kicking the bricks down you have something in common with my nephew. Hmm, you see I understand the feeling of pressure, but although youโre not in this position so it will be difficult for you to appreciate; itโs nothing compared to having to improvise a viable career out of thin air because you spaffed the opportunity when you were younger, I assure you. You really are in an amazing position and if you can realize that (hopefully through a bit of introspection rather than just feeling preached to and so feeling turned off of the whole subject) it might help make getting on with it easier. Oh, donโt mention it! lol
Iโve asked a lot of bullshit when Iโve been bored, so I would forget actually. It was obscure so you couldnโt guess.
Then it would be one of those rare occasions.
I thought lightning didnโt strike twice! :p
Suddenly I feel shy at the idea of putting pen to paper competitively!
But I might change my mind one day!
I love the word โloatheโ.
Why do you think that is? Yeah, we got closer as we got older, I donโt know why. Meh, I duno. lol
Because I used to work nights and it messed me up.
Iโm so proud of you! lol. That quickly eh? I must be one suave bastard! :p That would restore me to factory settings, not a bad idea!
Sorry for yesterday. I wasn't exercising the "two year of no talking" plan. :p I had a paper to write, an upcoming exam to study for, and a quiz so I thought I'd at least try to dedicate a day to that.
Really, how do you know?
Or five or six or seven or eight; we can go on forever. Have you noticed if she gives attitude when she gets picked on by anyone outside of the immediate family or something like that?
You have my sympathy. Good luck will be essential, so you're basically screwed. I understand not feeling it a little too well. The first reason is a bit stoopid, second reason I can understand a bit more (depending on the type of girlfriend you have), third reason shouldn't be up to you (except for the improving part obviously).
Interesting. I have found one thing I... can stand about you. :p
I'd feel this way regardless if we were siblings.
I hate you.
Eh, I don't think I'd have cared either way; but, I fully agree. People in general don't usually care how they get...
... something though, as long as they get it.
Why would you do that?
No, it didn't! ... You can't be fooled.
That hasn't always been my experience. A girl had it fairly easy at the high school I went to. But, they do seem to be more accepting here than they are over there. How did you do that, more fighting? I think it probably made a difference, at least for a while. And even if it didn't, they were probably happy to realize that someone was on their side. How would you use that for ammunition?
Very true. It's just that so many kids either wouldn't have cared or wouldn't have thought that a pair of shoes would make a huge difference, (and it probably didn't, but you wanted to do all you could to help anyway), and you knew what would come of it, and it's you! Why is it good, cause you'd rather not hear me talk? :p Trust me, I'm fully aware. And in the rare moments that I do forget, you never fail to remind me.
I thought so.
I knew you would. Don't put words in my mouth... I...
... never said that. Something tells me you always know what you're thinking when you write something, but okay. I have my own little theory anyway.
Definitely not, I wouldn't even notice your existence. :p
I'm usually layin' here judgin' actually. I'm very judgmental in a very fair way. It has no effect on the way I treat people though, and I don't share my judgments unless I'm with someone that I'm extremely close to (like my little brother, who I know won't mention anything to anyone).
I should've known. Well, I was perfectly able to achieve the same thing with no violence! How old were you?
I agree! ... Now you can relax.
I'm not in denial. >_<
You can? I mean, yes, yes you can. ๐
What reason is there to keep foreign money around?
Not really.
Your happiness is revolting.
It might be too late, but I should let you know that it's poisonous.
Why would you walk away from them? It makes no sense. Is light blue your favorite color? I guess it is a bit harder to imagine...
... kicking light blue bricks; that color makes you want to conduct and apply yourself for reasons. You say that you imagine the bricks to lead to that goal of yours, so what accounts for how many bricks there are or do you just imagine an infinite amount getting smaller? That is not good.
This is how I see it, I have the opportunity, but I'm having a hard time getting myself to work for it, you no longer have the opportunity, but are willing to work for it/anything. I do realize that I'm in an amazing position, but I guess I just don't appreciate it the way I should. I just need to practice my willpower, which I somehow lost as I got older. What career are you studying for exactly?
So, you were one of the trolls around here, huh. Tell me something you've asked, I'm in the mood for a laugh.
Fine. You... you... secret keeper! I don't care about your stoopid question anyway.
Considering its rarity, the probability of me ending up confused due to a Christmas topic, with whomever,...
... is about 1%.
You never know. :p
You need a little practice, huh? Well, whenever you're ready...
You do? I never would've guessed. I know I certainly do though! So much better than the word "love."
I don't know, it's been this way forever. The two of them are polar opposites, while I'm way more similar to my little brother, but not so much that I don't have anything in common with my big brother. Then there's the fact that my big brother always hung out with friends more, while I tend to hang out with my little brother the most. I could go on and on...
Oh... I know that.
Wow, hold on there, let's see how I apply it to things that are of importance first. If you didn't get it already, I meant to write "talk" not "take." "That quickly" what exactly? Either way, I'm sure you're not. No, it's really not! Two years might be a bit too much though; I'd likely forget about you.
I like dem manners, but I suspected it would be something like that and Iโm glad you prioritized correctly! :p
Iโm into F1 in a big way, I love it, although theyโve really screwed it up with all the regulations recently. I did a liiiiiiitle bit of boxing/kickboxing when I was in my early teens.
Na, she goes quiet in big groups etc. When we went to the circus she didnโt like how loud it was and the crowd etc. My brother went to take a leak and she sort of sank down in the chair feeling vulnerable, I did the same to remind her I was there and it seemed to help. But still, sheโs fragile. My bro watched a kid take some toy off her at play group and she just cried, of course he went and fixed it but if he wasnโt there sheโd have just been sad.
It burns! Iโll just have to see what happensโฆ maybe it is a bit but not totally, I dated a high maintenance girl once and Iโm not doing that again, but yeah you need enough money to do stuff together, and it should be up to me! But I know itโs...
... gonna be difficult for other reasons too, besides the stoopid ones :p
Iโm not sure how I feel about that, you see, in a way Iโd feel more rewarded if I felt it was something Iโd made a decision over or something Iโd worked for, not just some personality trait I was born with. lol
FairyโNuff.
Good, let that feeling course through you, it filters through the atmosphere and sustains me! :p
True, but they should know the value of things instead of just the price, spoilt little brats! lol. Resentment/opportunism probably. lol
Yes, it did โฆ Technically, yes I can :p
Probably because itโs more common over there than it is here, although thatโs changing. Usually by creating a distraction or jumping in and changing the subject, so noโฆ I was more the class clown than the class hard nut. It was just brief respite, but I know it helped. Iโd guilt trip the head teacher and shed light on their and their staffโs incompetence. I could see the conflict that created, fizzing behind the eyes. lmao
I didnโt mean the actual speechlessness, but the awareness it indicates. Indeed, as I should.
I donโt put them in, I lob them in. I do, but then sometimes I read it back and canโt remember what I was thinking, although I do remember again what the sentiment was nowโฆ just as youโll play secret squirrel with your theory, I will certainly do the same with what I was thinking!
But, my mom says Iโm cool! rofl
Heโs a dutiful brother then!
Believe me I looked at the options and that was the only one, I was 14 or 15.
Phew!
โCourse not :p
So I could leave my cake on the table around you and it would still be there when I came back?
If you go somewhere, donโt use it all, and itโs too small an amount to bother changing it backโฆ it goes in the drawer in case you ever go back, which you wonโt, but it goes in there anyway. lol
Then y u feel like dat?
Hey, itโs just an acquired taste... for the sophisticated only!
I thought it was just my recent change of diet that was responsible making my...
... stomach growl like a mofoโฆ it was delicious though. :D
No, itโs just the only brick color Iโm willing to work with and since itโs my mind I get to choose, it just wouldnโt be right if they were green or yellow or pink, Iโd be ok with red I suppose, but light blue is better. I get that, I was like that too to a degree, and you have no comparison for motivation/inspiration. The aim is business architecture, but it kind of makes me want to kill myself. lol
I was not a troll! Or I was a bit but I trolled in response to peopleโs questions, not by asking themโฆ Iโve just been through mine as there were fewer than I thought, and I can say for sure nowโฆ I never asked a penis question! I feel strangely proud of that! lol
I was talking about talking to her generally, if you agreed that Christmas is horrid she might warm to you.
Itโs sometimes acceptable e. g. I love to loathe and loathe to love.
It would have been cool to hang out with my brother, but he was so much older that I hardly ever did.
I know, I was being opportunistic and attempting to irk you, but it seems I failed and now Iโm quite disappointed! Itโs easily done I suppose, Iโm awfully common after all! :p
... Well, then, that's the last you'll be seeing of them.
Ah, yes! You mentioned that you were watching the Monaco Grand Prix in the beginning. Have you ever wanted to do it yourself? My cousin does that sort of thing.
I hate boxing/kickboxing!
The reason I asked is cause I became very shy during a part of high school (and still am a bit), which I absolutely hate to admit. The difference is when something would happen to me (nothing big like being picked on), my feelings of anger overcame those of shyness and I could talk back if need be. But I guess she might be naturally shy, so she can't snap out of it. It's really hard, I hope she changes.
You seem to have dated a lot. ... It shouldn't be up to you, women are not children! Get that through your thick skull. I won't bother asking for the other reasons.
Decisions are driven by personality traits, so there you go; it's actually a bigger compliment. Plus, I don't care how you feel.
You must be in great health, while I...
... feel myself wither away.
They do know the value, why else would they show off? :p Then it's partly their parents' fault. You have issues...
Yea, I know, but how is that changing? So, you were the type of kid that annoyed the hell out of me. I am not surprised. Guilt trip him/her into what? I will never understand how you had the energy to do all the crap that you did; I just wanted to go home.
I was only joking, I know you like to hear me talk. :p
You have impeccable aim. Of course, now you conveniently remember. ๐ I'm a squirrel! What's your excuse?
Well, now I really need to have a talk with your mother. :p Why do parents insist on lying to their children?
I should've mentioned that I'm very judgmental when I can be bothered, which is quite rarely, so it's not like I talk his ear off. But yes, he is... most of the time.
Ah, so it was mostly scratching and hair pulling then? :p
I just realized something... ;_;
That depends on a lot of things! It's not a simple yes...
... or no question.
Nah, we've only ever visited family around Europe, so we just leave the money to them.
Noneya.
So, I have the potential to become one of the sophisticated? ... I just have to do the impossible: learn to enjoy your happiness.
Were you expecting something else? I make only the best! ... With a high fatality risk.
Do you have a favorite color? I don't see red being fitting either actually. What do you mean I have no comparison?
I like architecture, not so much business. :p But I know you won't kill yourself, why?
You've never asked a troll question! ... I like trolls. ;_; Don't get too excited, you probably just disavowed it. :p
Well, to my knowledge, we were talking about me and her discussing our views on Christmas. I simply cannot do that. She would just have to accept and eventually like that I feel indifferent, for the most part.
I have found my new motto. Thank you!
My younger brother and I are 6 years apart, my older brother and I are about...
... 1 and a half year apart, so it really wasn't about age. Though now that I can legally drink, he has been wanting to hang out with me more often. -_-
haha The most epic of fails. I find that you're most effective in irritating me when you're not even trying; just be yourself!
Nah, my memory just sucks. :p
I wave toodle pip to them and walk awayโฆ donโt look back, donโt look back. lmao
If I ever got rich Iโd see what I could do to become a race driver, itโs expensive so itโs not something I ever really got intoโฆ although I went karting a couple of years ago and came second in a race full of regulars who had their own helmets and knew the track, I had never done it before and hadnโt slept the night before, I also wasnโt trying particularly hard through fear of being shite at something I loved, so I feel like I have a bit of talent for racing and it certainly feels right, like it feeds my charred soul, but I have nowhere to go with it. Sniff.
Then you must do 5X3minute rounds on the heavy bag as I was forced to do today, I will just sit down tomorrow and eat biscuits to get over the physical and mental trauma.
Sounds like youโve got some inner metal, I wonder why you became shyโฆ I hope the Nini has some of that inner strength too, although if she does get picked on I may have to commit...
... some murders to make it stopโฆ no I wouldnโt kill the children, Iโd off their parents instead. lol I kid obviously.
Itโs a lot less than people seem to think. I donโt think women are children, itโs just that if you donโt feel desirable advances make you uncomfortable and embarrassed. Rudeness! The manners arenโt coming back are they? I feel a bit scolded, so youโre right not to bother. I sulk now! :p
Thatโsโฆ true! But Iโm still sulkingโฆ even if you donโt care! Ha!
I wouldnโt say that, Iโm on the way back though and gathering momentum, soon I will be all plump and juicy, by contrast you will be shriveled and desiccated.
I wouldnโt consider a Burberry coat valuable, just stupidly expensive. :p Indeed. Hey, I am a businessman first and foremost!
I see the yute ballooning in size. I was just misunderstood by people like you! :p Iโd explain kids were being taken apart, every day, right under their noses and they were too useless to recognize how big the problem was or to do anything...
... about it, whatever my charges were paled into insignificance and how dare they make a make such a fuss when theyโre negligent and kids are sufferingโฆ it worked too, teachers are mostly idiots. I didnโt always have the energy, but when I did shit went down.
I do wonder what you sound like, quiet I imagine. Of course I have a projective, booming voice! lol
Na Iโm just fluky, but I have made some pressure shots in my time and looked like the don! I, too am a squirrel! Or have YOU conveniently forgotten? :p
Why do you want to talk to my mother so much? lol. Because some of them like to kill with kindness, mine, however, were just mythomaniacs!
Thatโs a good thing, I am too but with me itโs not rare at all, although I mostly keep my judgments to myself anyway. Letโs hope that never changes.
Yeah, and winding up in a bundle on the floor, hissing at each other. lmao
Sounds ominous!
Why, does it depend on the type of cake?
Dafuq?
โTis a sour grapeโฆ but learning to enjoy it is...
... definitely possible! :p
Yes, to be dispatched quickly, not to be inconvenienced by mild discomfort and then left to ponder it.
I actually thought about this when I bought a tshirt the other day, itโs white but trimmed with turquoise and I decided itโs my favorite color, itโs pretty fantastic actually, although it might not look great on me; I donโt care because I look down and see it and thatโs all that matters! lol. Itโs ok but light blue is what I picture. I forgot to mention the size of the row of bricks depends on the task at hand. I mean youโve only ever been in one position which is your current position, you canโt do an ebenezer scrooge and compare different futures.
Me too. Because it is a dry, dry biscuit!
Na, too lazy. Although I have trolled pretty hard I still wouldnโt consider myself to be one, hypocritical, but thatโs me all over! Lol. Nonsense, however as I write this I have an enormous grin on my face as the concept of a genre of common query on this stupid...
... website sinks inโฆ โpenis questionโ I mean, lol!
I think youโd need to be separated by some bomb-proof glass, just in case.
Youโre not welcome, thatโs MY motto, I found it first! :p
I love getting wasted with my bro, heโs hilarious when drunk, he starts whispering in my ear and Iโm like dude wtf? lol
Itโs rare I get encouraged to be myself, I donโt like it! Yours too eh, whatโs your excuse?
Keep walking...
Very nice! I'm sorry, I hope it happens for you. I enjoy the speed too, I don't think I'm meant to drive in normal roads. :p Yea, my dad has told me about how much money my uncle has to waste for my cousin to race. How did you start to like it?
Who is forcing you? lol
I don't know about the "inner strength" thing. If I were that strong, I wouldn't have changed to begin with. Not being able to stand up for herself won't be her only problem. Shyness holds you back significantly in life.
Inner metal? Me? Just no...
You could've fooled me. Whenever a certain topic comes up, you say you've had that type of girlfriend/a girlfriend like that/a girlfriend that was into that, etc, etc. :p Why don't you feel desirable, cause of the things you mentioned above? Even so, I don't see what that has to do with you thinking you need to pay for things at all times.
Whatever. I'm just tired of having to ask; if you want to tell me, then tell me.
Sadly, you'll be fine. ...
... Sounds lovely.
I didn't say it was valuable, I said they know its perceived value.
Businessmen have issues then!
There's nothing to understand. Funny. lololol
... You wonder what I sound like? ... I can't help you there. I don't know about that. I'm quite used to you sounding like myself now that anything else wouldn't seem fitting. :p
I know of one of those pressure shots. ;_; I'll only admit to not having forgotten if you admit that you hadn't either. ^_^
Wow, there, mister! Let's just remind ourselves who first brought up the topic of me talking with your mother. It certainly was not me! This time I was obviously joking (or felt very strongly against her telling you lies :p), because I would actually hate it. Nothing personal, I just despise meeting new people. I can believe that, since you must've inherited it from someone.
I'm hoping.
You were a tough one.
It was.
Yea, and if there's people around, etc. ... From this we can deduce that you ultimately cannot...
... trust me.
Noneya: contraction of "none of your damn business." ... You lazy ass.
I won't try.
I guess now we know what happens when one survives the high fatality risk...
Sounds pwetty! I just don't see how that would work for me. The most I have is probably five tasks at a time, so why would I care to get through five bricks when I can just... walk around them? You know? Actually I've been in two positions. But even if I was in more, I don't think that would change the current me.
So, it's boring. How long till you finish?
You should! It's something to be proud about, in my opinion.
Repeat that one more time, slowly... and differently.
No! ... I'm not scared.
lol What are you like when drunk? I've only ever gotten tipsy, thrice. The first time it happened I was so disappointed in myself that I got teary-eyed. The second time I became even more quiet than usual. The third time, I actually had fun and talked/sang to myself a lot. My brother is quite disappointed...
... with me though cause I'd still rather not drink when we go out.
Why not? There is no excuse, it's just the way it is.
I may break into a light jog.
Heโs got hundreds of thousands spare has he? Shit! lol Watching it on TV, you know when you see something and think โthatโs for me!โ
My buddy, itโs started to annoy me now so I might stop going to the gym with him.
Ok then, you are small, defenceless thing! lol
And how many subjects have we covered? I never said I have to pay for everything at all times.
No you didnโt, you may have inferred it but thatโs not good enough.
Ignorance is bliss in some cases I suppose. :p
I donโt believe you. I only had temporary amnesia, yours is no doubt conveniently permanent.
Wow, there, missโฆ it was a figure of speech. I understand, I love meeting new people, so I can judge them and feel superior. I told you I was a cuckoo, I get nothing from them except hassle usually, and certainly I have not and will not inherit anything! :p
Indeed, I was โarder than a coffin nail!
:0 Iโm shaking in my boots.
We knew that already though.
Stre-ssy! lol
Your loss.
All the...
... others have met their maker have they?
Donโt patronize me! :p Well I suppose you can walk around them, but when you find out that around the other side awaits the gatekeeper, who sees you did nothing with the bricks and tells you that from now on if you want to make it in the world youโll have to do a job you hate, donโt come crying to me! lol.
Itโs worse than boring. Next summer, it usually takes people longer, but this is me weโre talkinโ bout.
I still canโt lump myself in with that lot.
Why? Thereโs nothing wrong with being childish over it, unless you got some other meaning from what I wrote.
Thatโs fine, Iโve pretty much given up intervening and protecting people outside the bubble anyway.
I amโฆ friendly and sleepy. I would ask what happened if I thought the answer wouldnโt be โnoneyaโ lol. Thatโs because you were swigging from a bottle of hooch wrapped in a crumpled brown paper bag isnโt it? lol. I do that sober except for the having fun part. Iโm sure heโll get over it.
Because I prefer to treat people like mushrooms; feed them shit and keep them in the dark. Iโm not shining the sun of myself upon their unworthy asses! :p Early Onset Alzheimerโs it is then, shame! :p
There we are, short and sweet... I mean bitter. Nightnight.
The faster you disappear from my eyesight the better. Just watch out for that... Too late. x_x
Who knows. Yea, I do, I imagine it's kind of similar to the feeling I got when I saw this commercial on a new type of hair straightener. Kidding! I admire your passion. The amount of deaths that probably occur is kind of off-putting though.
That's not very nice. You could just refuse instead, then you won't have to be alone.
You're not allowed to say such things.
I think the more important (and equally impossible to answer) question is "how many questions have I asked?" :p But, you have a point, I suppose.
Fine then, most times, same difference.
No, I didn't... say "perceived," that is. But I did say they know its value, not they know it's valuable. There is a difference. Do you really, really want to argue about this? ... Because I do. ^_^
Is that an insult?
Then don't, it doesn't change anything. It just must be your turn to be in denial.
I guess we'll continue on with our...
... lies and create a tangled web that we won't ever be able to get out of!
... Oh. Fine. -_-
Are you serious?
You can deny it all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that they're your parents, therefore represent all that the word encompasses! ^_^
I can tell.
Forgive me for stating the obvious.
Dafuq?
I might reconsider if you tell me what my loss would be.
No, I've never felt the need to kill anyone else. I just know.
I did no such thing! Turquoise is a very nice choice of color/shade... for the Nini. :p
Fine, I'll go cry to my mommy instead. I was actually thinking that I could think of it as a wall with a brick door. Yea, that makes sense. I'd feel trapped, so I'd work harder to get out... in theory.
It is you we're talking about. Good job!
That makes no sense, as usual. :p
Just rephrase.
Great, as I don't need protection. ... That's not to say I'm against calling out for you if a dragon ever comes my way.
Oh, and about the motto thing, well, I found it...
... second!
That's... it? What a bore! What happened to make me a bit teary-eyed, you mean? Nothing, I just realized once I got up to walk that I was feeling a bit dizzy and I felt upset for allowing myself to get to that point. I do now realize how absurd it was of me to feel that way.
Yep, I was brown baggin' it. :p
You mumble to yourself in front of others?
Oh, then please proceed. However, as I said before, I feel more mushroomy when you're being yourself. But, oh well.
O_O... I prefer to think of you as unmemorable. ;_;
I could taste the bitterness. I liiike it.
You holster that boomerang or I shall have to confiscate it, put it away!
I donโt know how they can improve on the straightners that are already out. Iโm just full of fire, panache and passion when it comes to the things Iโm into! lol. There have been quite a few deaths in recent years, the best categories are open cockpit; with your noggin exposed it is quite risky. Itโs a shame itโs too expensive to pursue properly though, thereโs not a lot of point racing against amateurs as I found out.
Na, he wants to be like bruce lee and I canโt be doing with that bullshit. lol
Whoโs gonna stop me, the government?
Lots, but of course not all are relevant if we are to accurately determine how many people I have dated. I canโt accept that either, I was saying a fellow needs moolah if he is to do stuff with his squeeze, not that he has to shell out for it most of the timeโฆ even if thatโs usually true.
But what they โknowโ is actually false, so they donโt know it as they are mistaken and so...
... in turn, are you!
Only if you find the truth offensive! :p
I suppose itโs possible you had some triumphant moment of glory under pressure, but it was probably just luck you know!
A web of lies, how romantic! :p
This is where I got lost- soooo sleeepy. So I canโt tell whatโs fine, if I was serious or not, what you can tell or whether I should forgive you for stating the obvious etc. lol
I did trace the conversation back to discover what your potential loss might be though, and I found it would be sophistication, but I doubt youโre interested in that! :p
Well that makes me feel soโฆ special.
You did, now fess up! Yeah sheโd look better in it than I do, but that doesnโt mean I canโt like it.
She would certainly be more sympathetic, as Iโm sure you are aware; I am quite the uncompassionate bastard. Claustrophobic are we?
Again with the patronizing, this is unbelievableโฆ when I am working in a sterile, humorless environment with a bunch of pontificating dullards; youโll be jelly!
Yes it does, Iโm just being hypocritical.
I shall do nothing of the sort, I think you just got the wrong end of the stickโฆ on purpose probably :p
Iโm sure you donโtโฆ but Iโll change my name to George just in case.
Well its finders keepers Iโm afraid!
What were you excepting? :p I donโt think Iโve done anything crazy while drunk, not that I can remember anyway. Iโm surprised you opened up about thatโฆ aww, diddums.
O_O Solvent abuse, I never would have thought! :p Only under my breath in deprecation, but Iโll mumble to myself quite freely in the shower as I defrag my brain after a rough day.
Nope, itโs no good, you shall have the full Biff Tannen experienceโฆ lots of manure!
Thatโs how Iโd like to be remembered.
Then maybe I'll change tact and start being all sweet and... na I can't do it, I'll just have to begrudge you your enjoyment!
Nite'e'nite.
Be quiet.
You'd be surprised. It hasn't gone unnoticed by me. Look at the... dimmed side, at least there's a lower chance of untimely death.
Bruce Lee has more than just strength; he might as well give it up. :p Why not?
Me. >_<
Rewind... I thought when you said, "And how many subjects have we covered?" you were addressing me being tired of asking questions. Now that I know we're talking about the girlfriends, I'll just say that I was exaggerating, and that so far, I believe you've mentioned having had three, so there's probably more than that.
No, you said it was up to you, which has a different implication, but I'm pleased you don't feel that way. Not that this matters, but I'd personally rather do things and go places where it's just the two of us. I'm sure there are other women that feel the same. Although I might just have an overly romanticized view of the idea.
Fine, mind reader, what do they think they know and what is the actual truth?
Well, I can't tell if you were...
... referring to yourself being ignorant of my voice or me being ignorant of yours. Therein lies my dilemma.
We're full of misunderstandings lately. I was talking about a pressure shot of yours, not mine... though I've had my moments. My luck is nonexistent.
I was not implying a romance of any kind. And, I can't quite see how that would be romantic.
Oh. Fine. -_- (about the figure of speech)
Are you serious? (that you only like meeting people in order to judge them and feel superior)
Forgive me for stating the obvious. (that you can't trust me)
I highly doubt that would truly be a loss, since I feel I already have an air of sophistication.
You are special.
There is nothing to "fess up" about. Please do, and ignore my judgment. It's just amusing, I guess, how different we are at times.
No, actually, she wouldn't. She'd likely be angry that I simply walked past the bricks and lecture me about it. Mothers... I'll just go to my little brother.
Talking with you has been...
... very educational. I've learned that I'm squeamish, I have Alzheimer's, and I'm claustrophobic. Is there anything else you'd like to falsely diagnose me with? We can just get it out of the way now. :p I didn't say I would panic, I only said I imagine I'd want to get out (even if after a while), as I'm sure anyone else would. There's little that soothes me more than closed up spaces; I seek them out.
I find your disbelief unbelievable. Stop it! It won't be that great.
Hypocrisy does not make sense.
Goodness, I just didn't understand. Must you be so difficult? ... Don't answer that.
Thank you for sharing with my your new name. Now we can both die if I come across a dragon, since I wouldn't possibly call out for you because I believe you to be capable of saving me.
B-but... I want it!
I wasn't excepting anything. However, I was expecting you to have some little quirk like your brother's whispering thing. But you're just always in control, right? >_>
Never again, am I...
... telling you anything.
Why not? It's a likely possibility.
I just think, what feels like loudly, in the shower. I used to sing, but I don't do that any longer.
I doubt that.
Then you shall forever be engraved in my memory as "that one unmemorable thing."
Something you can't do. Yay.
I only got half an hour of sleep last night, so I fell asleep while writing to you. -_-
[Finds wooden spoons in kitchen, arranges pots and pans, bashes incessantly] :p
I wouldnโt put it past you to soak up current affairs like a sponge and so notice something like that. I suppose so, itโs part of the reason I calmed down with the climbing.
Heโs not the type to give up. I just want to look ok in a tshirt, laying on a half swiss ball and having a medicine ball slammed down on me so it nearly snaps my spine in order to condition abs and strengthen coreโฆ just isnโt my cup of tea. lol
Oh shit! https://i.imgur.com/NXV1u.gif :p
I see, not many more though, and Iโve been alive an awfully long time!
Not that you could of known, but I guess what I meant when I said itโs up to me is being open to doing something about being found attractive, like if a girl finds me attractive; it wonโt change the way I feel so Iโm still not in the right place to reciprocate or whatever even if I kind of want to.
We share the same views on that, not that it mattersโฆ but I, too prefer to do stuff just the two of us.
Whenever one of my millions of girlfriends has started wanting to integrate me into her social circle, itโs not a big deal in terms of sacrifice, after all itโs normal, and itโs good to get to know her friends and family because if Iโm with her itโs for a reason so I trust the company she keeps isnโt going to be terribleโฆ but Iโm perfectly happy just the two of us and part of me has always felt like itโs a duty to make sure I get on well with them so sheโs got a boyfriend they approve of and it keeps things harmonious for her. But it backfires because, in my experience, you always end up spending more time than youโd like with people youโre not interested in. lol
They think itโs more valuable than it is; itโs just a piece of cloth, the massive mark-up fools them. I suppose it keeps you warm and there is some value in that, but it isnโt truly valuable in the same way I am! :p
This dilemma doesnโt feature Kelly Rowland does it?
Tell me about these moments! My luck is 98% bad.
I know, I...
... was joshing you.
Thanks for all the clarification. I donโt use them much but I like those little -_- faces! lol
I was semi-serious, I was sat in a production meeting the other day with a bunch of people and I was observing and listening to them and judging them, I got the giggles and had to stifle it but nobody noticed.
I suppose Iโll be uncharacteristically generous and grant you clemency! :p
What gives you the air?
You owe me one sarcasm detector!
I always liked the idea of confession, like the โbless me father for I have sinnedโ type. Iโd go in there and make up terrible stuff just to vex the guy on the other side. Oh I will! Why, whatโs your favorite color? lol
Iโm not immune from my motherโs disapproval, but Iโve never really been given a lecture, thatโs probably partly responsible for me being the great man I am today! lmao. I havenโt even begun my preliminary examination yet; so thereโs probably more diagnoses to come, but I wouldnโt wanna jump the gun! :p I quite like..
... confined spaces, I actually made one to hide in when I got my first job in TV. When you find a space thatโll do nicelyโฆ do you scurry in there? Oh man I crack myself up! lol
I see what you did there! I shanโt! No, it really wonโt be :( sniff.
Not even when itโs me?
So many misunderstandings!
Youโre welcome, Iโm not sure about the name George though tbh. Oh I donโt know, dragons are a bit like lizards arenโt they? Iโm good with lizards!
If youโre good and you eat all your vegetables I might consider letting you have it. :p
I suppose itโs possible I do something I donโt know about, Iโll probably speak to him tomorrow so Iโll ask him. Having said that I am indeed very good at keeping my composure under the influenceโฆ of numerous substances; itโs just down to focus.
Probably for the best. :p
I donโt mean to be a sycophant, butโฆ youโre a bit too sharp to be a gass โead.
You probably think out loud without knowing it. I still sing in the shower, I know itโs terrible, but for...
... some reason itโs really satisfying!
Your doubt just evoked a memory of some out of school club I went to when I was a nipper, it was in a church and it was run by Christians, I canโt think for the life of me why I went there except it mustโve been my parents giving themselves a breakโฆ anyway they told a story about โDoubting Thomasโ and I remember thinking โthis is bullshit!โ lol.
Hmmm, sounds like a suitable epitaph!
-_-
Thatโs better than falling asleep at the ballet, as I did recently! lol
I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be a bit angry.
^_^ ... So, why are they open cockpit, do they just enjoy putting people's lives in greater danger?
Fine, being half as good as him should be enough. I like the way you think cause that does not sound good. Do you have a trainer?
... If you're that cute I might, just might, make an exception.
Let me guess... three more? O_O How long have you been alive?
I went back to check and I see what you mean now. I should have known, but you didn't use a period so I thought the money comment and the "up to you" comment were connected. I'm such an idiot. So, how do you feel and what does it take for you to be in the right place?
When I said "just the two of us," I also meant that me and my... boyfriend wouldn't have to go to restaurants and such places most of the time. I'd rather us go to some secluded place and just spend time together... But, then again, I have no experience with any of this.
Did they also want to meet your...
... family? I guess it sort of is a duty cause if the family doesn't like you that could ultimately cause problems between you and her. Why didn't you just tell them that?
Yes, it is just a piece of cloth but I don't think the reason they view it as valuable is due to what it is, but more so what it represents and what it can do for them in terms of status. I doubt they would buy it at that price if they were going to wear it at home where no one would see it. I do agree that it's not truly valuable the way you are though. ^_^
That song is sooo ancient! But, no, I wish (not really).
I certainly shall not. You'll just pass them off as luck anyway.
Oh, I did not notice.
Some are better than others. But they do a swell job at conveying my emotions, which is what really matters... sort of.
I would like nothing more than to be able to say I find people that interesting. -_- Anyway, what was so funny?
You're too kind.
I was kidding. Though I suppose it is true, but I don't care...
... to tell you why.
What's the point? I'd break that one too.
Sounds like one of those things I'd love to do... but wouldn't. I'm sure you wouldn't have to make anything up, since it can't get much worse than the things you've already done. :p
All colors can look good/bad in certain shades, and turquoise is a nice shade. I just feel tranquility in darker colors.
I'm given lectures, but rarely because I've been a great girl/woman ever since I can remember. :p My mom's lectures are of no help though cause she never tells me something I don't already know. >_<
Looks like I'm gonna be joining that mental hospital sooner than was originally intended.
"I crack myself up" I'm glad you manage to have that effect on one of us. :p What do you mean you made one?
I knew it!
Especially not when it's you.
We'll just end this topic with a misunderstanding then.
It's such a terrible name that it almost makes me not want to call for you at all. Other than the fire breathing and the...
... flying, they're essentially the same. What do you mean you're good with lizards?
On second thought... I'll just steal it. But, thanks for nothing.
Okay, but it's gonna seem kind of random. Yes, yes, I know.
Oh, it is.
What the hell is a gass 'ead?
Now you tell me I'm showing signs of schizophrenia! ;_; I still sing quietly sometimes, but it's no longer the upbeat songs I used to sing. What kind of songs do you like?
Those words plague my mind whenever I have to sit through the stoopid required religious classes in college.
Which one? Either way, I'm only here to help.
Why were you at a ballet?
Iโm furious!
I suppose part of it is the spectacle and the danger element, it looks better than sports carsโฆ but safety too; sometimes they struggle to extract injured drivers after a big shunt in the closed cockpit categories. In F1 at least they can actually lift him out still in the seat which is molded to his body. They are considering fighter jet style canopies but the problem with those is they might hinder extraction plus the nature of the material means it might deflect debris into spectatorsโฆ although that would just add more spice to it all if you ask me.
Getting half as good is still pretty ambitious. lol. It didnโt feel too great either. Na, I think theyโre a waste of money.
I canโt say Iโm on a parity with a kangaroo when it comes to cuteness.
Why do you guess three more? Iโm gonna see if you can guess first! :p
You should shouldnโt be so hard on yourself! :p Well, I feel unattractive at the moment, even if I get the odd advance and the odd look they canโt see...
... whatโs under the tshirt. lol. Itโs not that bad but I used to be in reasonable shape so I probably think itโs worse than it is. Part of it is probably the cloudy crystal ball when it comes to the future, mainly to do with work, then thereโs the vulnerability thing; I donโt feel like letting my guard down at the moment, thereโs also something I canโt put my finger on but it might just be all these things adding up to a general feeling of not wanting to date because it would be pointlessโฆ and itโs unfair on whoever you date if you know youโll probably have to let them down because youโre likely not to want to move forward with them if it turns out they really like you. I might feel differently in 2 monthsโ time, I might feel differently in 2 yearsโ time, Iโll just have to play it by ear.
I see, the secluded stuff is good too, I kind of enjoy that more than anything elseโฆ but I feel like I have to punctuate that sort of stuff enough with doing things like going to restaurants, films..
... events or whatever because it distracts from me a little bit, like if we spend too much time just the two of us with no distractions itโll be more evident that Iโm quite weird and itโll put โem off. lol.
Yeah the family thing is a bit of an issue, I try to stall that as long as possible and girls donโt like that; they wrongly assume itโs them thatโs the problem.
Iโm happy to do my duty, Iโm just not happy with sometimes getting bitten in the ass for doing the right thing, but then Iโm reminded of the Oscar Wilde quote and how life is just a bit of a bastard sometimes. Yeah Iโve broached it tactfully, with mixed success. lol.
That still doesnโt make it valuable though, I canโt invest in subjectivity when it comes to stuff like thatโฆ even if I should. Iโll always deny it out of principle.
I know, sometimes Iโm reminded of a song and I look it up on youtube, I watched the music video for it wondering wtf they were thinking when they made it!
Whatever -_-
It might be wrong to...
... feel this way, but I find people fascinating in a similar way to finding animals fascinating. Sometimes in media circles the self-image and the effort people make to project themselves a certain way is a bit exaggerated, partly because people arenโt in standard office clobber which acts as a bit of a leveler. So it's like working with characters instead of people. lol
You donโt care to tell me a lot of things, but I suppose Iโm tasting my own medicine. :p
Na, Iโd turn it off around you, it would save the battery too!
As long as you choose the moments to indulge yourself wisely when getting up to mischief; it can be quite thrilling and without blowback. I can honestly say Iโve never done anything truly terrible, but somebody like a priest would disagree of course.
If I had a pallet of colors I liked most I think it would probably be a fairly even split of dark ones and light ones, it might be slightly dark heavy but not by much. So your favorite color is black then.
When youโre lectured is it the lack of faith that you donโt already know these things that irks you the most, or is it the fact that the lecture is unnecessary but you still have to waste time listening to it?
Iโm fascinated by the looney bin, but I wouldnโt wanna be committed to one.
I reckon finding yourself funny might be one of the essential ingredients for happiness, itโs just a shame Iโm missing the others.
I made a little spot in the tape library where you could go and sleep or rest with very minimal risk of being caught, it was behind a bookcase where there was a hollow due to a pillar sticking out of the wall and I moved a couch which was already stood in there upright to help obscure it, it didnโt look out of place because there was a load of other crap stored in there too which helped to camouflage it. The shifts really were long and tough so catching an hour of shuteye at 4am really sorted you out, I got on quite well with one of the other guys who used to work on the...
... opposite shift and he discovered it because we thought alike to an extent, we even put a pillow and a sleeping bag in there. lol. Towards the end of the season we shared the knowledge with the other runners and it became this awesome little secretโฆ founded by me! lol
A misunderstanding is a great note to end a subject on.
When I hear the name George several images are conjured up, a bitchy camp dude, a spoilt little fat boy, and an old man wearing a flat cap. In the case of the old man his name is forgivable because itโs of his time. I kept several lizards when I was a kid, Iโm very fond of them, so I know what theyโre aboutโฆ and lizards are on the magic list! lol
Theft is an abhorrent crime, attach the stone of shame! Anyway, if you donโt eat your vegetables you wonโt grow up to be big and strong! :p
Weโve both had stuff to do today so that random question will have to wait. I could ask someone else if I do anything funny when wasted, but I canโt be bothered to speak to them.
A gas head is someone who abuses solvents.
So you went from singing mmmbop to singing Eleanor Rigby? :p I like all sorts of music from classical to hip hop to hard trance to black metal. I havenโt heard any good new music for a while, but I havenโt been searching.
I remember being at school and Religious Education was compulsory, luckily it wasnโt in college.
Here lies "that one unmemorable thing"โฆ I should have that on my gravestone.
I was invited by my parents, my mother is a โfriendโ of that particular establishment so they were excellent seats and it was a good productionโฆ I secretly like the ballet.
... I sleep now.
I see, just... put the wooden spoons down slowly and we can talk about it.
So, based on past injuries, would you say it's more important for drivers to have a closed cockpit so they get less injured or an open cockpit so that it's easier to pull them out?
Well, no one wants spice added to anything. :p
... A quarter as good then. Oh, poor you! Sniff. So, all of these painful things you've done were solely done because your friend was forcing you to do them?
It was unfair of me. After all, kangaroos are quite the tough competition... I suppose.
Why does that matter? ... Just tell me. Okay, my guess is that you're 27 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days and 5 hours old. There is little to no chance of this guess being wrong, so don't bother lying.
Fine, I'll be hard on you instead. ... What is the matter with you? You led me on all along instead of just informing me right away that I had misunderstood what you were saying. You stoopid jerk! ... You're right, I feel much better...
... now.
Do you have two belly buttons or something? :p Why wouldn't you want to move forward? I mean, you're telling me the reasons you don't want to date, so (in this hypothetical situation) if you're already dating, then I'm guessing that means you've gotten over the insecurities about yourself, the future, and you were able to let your guard down. So what would keep you from wanting to move forward with that person?
That's the main purpose of the seclusion. To be with each other and see/learn all there is to know about one another. That's what I want, in theory. In reality, I suppose I quite like food and movies... ;_; I'm conflicted.
I can see why they would think that, but what I don't see is why they cared. No offense. ^_^
What would you do instead if you didn't care about doing the right thing?
That's why I didn't specifically use the word valuable before last time, because no it isn't truly valuable since they could go without it. But it does live up to its current...
... value, in a sense, at least for the time being, because people give it that value.
I know, the music video does suck but I don't even give a damn. It feels like a completely different world now and I like the nostalgia, at times.
Don't be mad. -_-
That's not wrong. For me, the reason animals are fascinating is because they are quite the mystery, and people are just not. But I might find fascination in that too, as characters tend to be more interesting than people.
I don't mean to... except for once. The medicine doesn't taste too bad though, right?
I'll just have to physically break it then.
I don't indulge. What's the worst thing you've ever done? Yes, those hypocrites would, which is why you wouldn't have to make anything up.
That says nothing for me because if I had a pallet of colors I loved, I'd certainly include light colors in there. All I'm saying is that on me and around me, I'd rather be surrounded by dark ones most of the time. I'm gonna regret telling...
... you this, but here it goes... When I was little, I would never pick a favorite anything in order to not hurt the "feelings" of the others, even if they had no feelings. So, maybe that has stuck with me or maybe I just don't specifically have a favorite. :p I suppose I've always had a special fondness for blood red though.
The lectures aren't long, so they're not a complete drag. It's more the fact that I don't want to think or talk about the problem, yet she brings it up. I guess it's my way putting it off until I no longer can.
No one does. What are the other ingredients that you seem to be missing?
lol I'm sure it didn't last too long then, you know, once the others were told about it. The difference between us is, once there's more than just me in there, I would abandon that spot.
With you, it is. Just lovely.
Might you consider changing your name for a second time then? ... As that is now what I imagine you to be like. ._. Lizards... Interesting. What is it that...
... you like about them? I suppose I could trust you with my life, mostly as it doesn't mean much to me at the moment.
Not a smart move, as that only encourages me to steal more. But in this special case, I won't be stealing it, I will be... borrowing it.
You're a little too late with that advice, not that I would've followed it anyway.
Do you not deem it a question of importance? ... You know how to whistle, right? You probably just whistle incessantly.
Ah, noted. Whatever I know about this crap comes from movies, so excuse my naivety. Now, what do you mean when you say I'm a bit too sharp?
O_o Something like that. That's not helpful... What's your favorite song then? There is always good music.
Well, I go to a Catholic university, so... I mean it's not exactly required, but they don't give you much of a choice.
Oh my, I love it. Quite fitting too, at least in my case. ^_~
I like it too, but not so secretly. Your mother must've been furious with you.
... I study now.
Nevaaaah!
With the evolution of the monocoque cockpits itโs a bit difficult to look at it that way, itโs probably best to look at the injuries sustained in the modern era; youโd have to say the drivers head is now the primary risk. Although I think youโd detract from the experience if you enclosed the drivers, Iโd probably stop watching it.
Some people just canโt handle the chilli! :p
Well I didnโt want to wimp out, I used to do all those things and I wanted to prove to me that I hadnโt become completely useless. Also when I initially refused to do a few exercises he kept squaring up playfight style and I thought it made us look stoopid so I just got on with it. lol
Iโm not as fond of the adults as I am the joeys, I like the idea of fostering one and holding a pillow case open which they approach, look in, and then jump into! lol
It doesnโt really, but Iโm curiousโฆ so not until you tell me how you came up with the number! :p The fluke in the face of an 80% chance of being wrong is...
... quite unbelievable, so I begrudgingly congratulate you on being correct. You are of course wrong on the months, weeks, days and hoursโฆ but I wonder if those were tacked onto the guess to increase the likelihood of me conceding the years, as you know I would be pleased to tell you that you at least got something wrongโฆ but maybe Iโm giving you too much credit there :p
Whatโs wrong with me? I was dropped on my head as a baby :( now donโt you feel badโฆ I wasnโt really, but I could have been! Being a stoopid jerk is just a god-given talent! :p
Naโฆ Iโve got way more than two! Theyโre from where I was grown by the machinesโฆ my โbirthโ was like Neoโs in the Matrix! Iโm just a bit flabby with love handles and all that, the good news is I can change that relatively easily.
Iโm confused now trying to explain this because I donโt really understand the question. I donโt date for the reasons I mentioned. I really canโt date in spite of those reasons and if I did it would mean I was dating...
... superficially, just for the sake of itโฆ so it would be going nowhere and I couldnโt move forward with that person; so it would be pointless on my end and it would also be unfair on whoever I was dating. I know a hell of a lot of people date for all the wrong reasons even if they donโt have any issues to deal with, they find someone whoโs alright and they think โshe/he will doโ and they settle for themโฆ until they get fed up with it or they find someone theyโre actually taken with.
To some people the seclusion and discovering things about the other person is romantically motivated, for others itโs so they can suss the other person outโฆ no prizes for guessing which camp you fall into there :p Luckily the conflict only needs to be limited in most cases because most people donโt have an infinite pot of money to go out all the time anyway.
None taken -_- lol I love these faces!
If I didnโt care about doing the right thing Iโd probably be a manipulative bastard, but I can picture...
... that being a lot of stress, so itโs not just my silly principles that stop me from being that way, itโs laziness too! lol
And thatโs why I deny value being subjective even if it might be, because I have to draw the line somewhere!
I get nostalgic too and I enjoy it up to a point but I usually just end up feeling sad and lament the passing of the good โol days.
Iโm not mad anymore, but I usually skulk about for a bit before getting over it. :p
I think as time goes on people are becoming more and more like characters rather than real people. So your luck is in! lol
Itโs alright I supposeโฆ with a spoonful of sugar!
Youโd have to get through me first! And Iโm armedโฆ with wooden spoons!
You should! When I was a little kid I caught a load of frogs and put them in a tank, I forgot about them overnight and they died, probably of heat exhaustion. I canโt talk any more about that.
Iโm not picturing you as Morticia Addams at all now! You gave inanimate objects feelings? Ridiculous! I...
... might have been like that too, I used to arrange things nicely because I didnโt like it if they looked used and then just thrown down and forgotten about, and I used to feel sorrow for something like a washing machine when it was old and being thrown away, I still do to a certain extent, but then I remember Iโm a grown up and washing machines donโt have feelings! lol
Ha, you should buy some earplugs!
True. Money and lots of it! Na, I duno.
Well we shared the secret with the other runners when the show was nearly over. Normally I wouldnโt be comfortable sharing it but it was only with one person who I deemed clean enough and cool enough for it not to bother me. By the time we let the others know Iโd stopped sleeping on shiftโฆ start and finish strong, nobody remembers the middleโฆ so I made my presence felt, even in the wee small hours for the sake of a good impressionโฆ while the others were probably sleeping! lol.
Yeah, George doesnโt do me justice anyway! lol. Creatures with...
... je ne sais quoi are on the magic list, so I canโt explain why I like them so much. I used to feel like that, until a good friend got killed, life isnโt to be lived perfunctorily. The bullshit can be a drag, but just being here is something you should recognize as incredible and something you should try to embrace and take pleasure in.
Itโs not borrowing if I wonโt get exclusive rights to it back! :p
Na. lol. I know how to, but I donโt because itโs the preserve of plebs! lol
You were clearly a cosseted child, so I forgive you. I mean you can string two sentences together :p
Choosing a favorite song is impossible!!
If I were you Iโd tell them I was a muslim to get out of it.
I knew you would! :p
So youโre overtly sophisticated then are you? :p Na, she was much more aggravated by the shortness of the interval.
โฆand so you should!
If you actually got to do it, would you still not want the open cockpits?
And some people simply don't like it.
So, now you've come to the conclusion that you have indeed become completely useless.
I'm actually not extremely fond of kangaroos; they're so pear-shaped. :p But, yea, the young ones are cuter, though that's almost always the case with anything. That's the sweetest thing I've ever imagined. -_-
Fine, but when you feel the need to whine to me for causing you tears of bored, just know that I don't want to hear it. You see, you said "not many more though," so in my humble opinion 3 or less would be considered not many more, cause, sorry to disappoint you, but you haven't been alive for too awfully long.
Hehe! In yo face! ... I've never taken such pleasure in winning, but with you, I just enjoy it so much more. We both know quite well that I wouldn't intentionally do something to please you... I just wanted to make it more challenging, but at the same time at least get...
... some partial credit. :p I doubt you know for sure if I had the hours right though...
The only reason I feel bad is cause the injury didn't cause enough damage. :p You probably were, but it's not something parents easily tell their child. God manages to disappoint once again.
I'm jealous, my birth was relatively normal. -_- Have you noticed a difference so far?
Forget that question. Plus, you kind of answered it. ... I have another question now. You said you didn't see things going anywhere with most of the other girls you've dated before, so why did you date them? Was it only cause you were younger, so it wasn't as expected for things to go anywhere?
Which camp do I fall into then?
Na, I've made up my mind, I'd still prefer seclusion over the other stuff. My attention was momentarily diverted cause I was feeling hungry and remembered this one restaurant I recently went to. ๐ Although, it is probably best to switch it up a bit, but rarely, so that the weirdness can come...
... out. :p
Since we're sharing, I just don't like how this one >_> looks too much, the others are cute AF.
I knew it (and have said it) all along...
Fine, we'll call it a truce... this time. >_<
Well, I just try to remember that in 10 years, these are the moments that I'm going to be nostalgic over. But once a person is too old, I doubt that will be the case. What do you miss the most?
I caused you to skulk. ^_^
Really? I haven't seen anything unusual. No spiderman wannabes flying about, etc.
You gotta toughen up.
That's horrible. So many creatures dying because we aren't capable of leaving them alone. ;_; One fish died today, by the way. Another one was about to die, but my dad managed to save it for now. He says that when he switched some of the water, the food from the bottom was disturbed and its bacteria affected the fish. I can't say I am too surprised that it had the biggest effect on those two though, since they don't eat much for some reason. ... My parents are...
... not too happy with my brother right now.
You pictured me as Morticia Addams. Why? You... felt bad... for washing machines? hahahaha What happened to being an uncompassionate bastard? Deep down, you probably only feel sorrow now cause you know you're gonna have to replace it, am I right? I don't regret telling you after all, cause yours is kind of more ridiculous. ^_^
You're a horrible influence... if you were capable of influencing me, that is. My mother would be very upset with you if I showed her this right now!
Lots of money would help, sure. I'm missing both of these ingredients... No wonder I'm in such a predicament.
Fine then, maybe we're more similar than I originally thought... I'm not sure how to feel about it.
Well, then, what's your new name?
Some lizards are physically appealing.
Yea, I know about the friend. I don't think it matters if one chooses to live life perfunctorily, and it doesn't, but I know you already know that. I'll try though...
I don't care.
There's nothing wrong with plebs. If I could whistle, I'd whistle songs nonstop.
I suppose I was. You've noticed! ^_^
One of your favorites then! You're such a... Ughh.
They don't care. There are plenty of muslims in the class. Plus, they tend to cover a few religions, not just one.
No, you didn't.
Yes, now you know what makes me sophisticated. :p I knew she was in some type of bad mood though!
I know.
I meant to say, "would you still want the open cockpits?"
I certainly would, to me not being enclosed is an intrinsic part of it.
They should be force fed scotch bonnets! Incidentally I made myself jerk chicken with rice and peas last night, I was hungry after the gym so I made loads of it and fell into a food coma afterwardsโฆ I may have discovered the cure to my sleep problem.
By my standards I am, but Iโm changing it gradually. The body is protesting at the moment but it will be forced to adapt and when it starts itโs going to be satisfying.
This is what it actually looks like www.youtube.com/watch lol
It is six, but one is borderline as to whether it counts.
I hope the sweet taste of victory gives you diabetes. -_- So I was giving you too much credit, Iโll have to have a word with myself and stop doing that!
Maybe they did but I just had a surplus of brain cells so I still turned out perecโ anyway. In what other ways has he disappointed you?
Ha, in yo face! Iโve noticed a bit of a difference, muscles starting to reappear and fat starting to loosen...
... this is the worst stage of the process of getting back into shape.
You always have another question! :p Well that was part of it, there were lots of reasons I chose to date the people I have at the times I did. Iโm just way to sleepy to think about it at the moment! lol
Youโre in the sussing out camp! Why is that, is it because seclusion means you only have to deal with one person? What did you have at this restaurant? Iโm not sure thatโs a good idea, having said that I suppose itโs the acid test, how they take the weirdness.
I just donโt like that one because itโs asymmetrical, but I find them more amusing than cute.
What have you known and said all along?
Ha, I knew youโd give in! :p
I miss the simplicity of life and the abundance of time and energy.
I enjoy skulking! ^_^
I donโt believe it, try opening your eyes!
I know I know, Iโm doing it.
So that was the bad news, but what about the good news doc? :p
It was the dark colors thing.
Iโm mostly only that way with people...
... anyways, itโs no more ridiculous than worrying about hurting the feelings of a certain wavelength of light! :p
Youโre probably susceptible to some sort of influence, but as Iโm so sleepy I probably am incapable of influencing you. Now, donโt picture an elephant or anything! :p Could she ever forgive me?
Well even if you donโt find yourself amusing, at least I do, so that should be some consolation! Iโm afraid I canโt help you on the money thing though.
Well I know that I feel terrible about it!
I canโt think of one, any suggestions?
Yeah, some of them look like theyโre smiling.
The way I see it youโre the center of your universe, so it matters you and the grand scheme of things isnโt something to take into consideration.
They are a scourge on the principality! Thatโฆ would irritate me greatly, thereโs a dude at work who whistles incessantly and it does my swede in!
I should allow myself a biscuit for being so observant!
Ordinary guys. A what, eh, hmmm?
Alright a Jehovah's...
... witness then, that oughta do it!
How do you know what I knew?
And how did you know that?
It seems you know a lot! :p
Now I slip into comaโฆ
It seems I have forgotten to reply to "Nevaaaah."
I tried to be reasonable with you. [Leaves the house angrily...]
I don't see what the big deal is. I think I'd rather be enclosed, it would feel like I'm in my own little world.
Except for me though, right? That sounds delicious, but I'm certain it wasn't. :p I've been eating like once a day lately. My mom and I were talking about how those two fish that died didn't eat much and she somehow managed to turn the conversation on to me. She started yelling at me and comparing me to the dead fish for not eating. lol... As if that would change anything. Anyway, that's wonderful, fixing one problem by creating another.
I get the feeling you're implying that your standards are high, which just doesn't seem like something you would do.
That's interesting... It was cuter in my imagination though cause of the way you put it; I was picturing it animated for some reason.
I meant to say "boredom," I should start re-rereading everything...
... I write. Anyway, so it's actually more than I seemed to have thought. Goodness, you think 9 isn't a lot for a 27 year old? And you said you haven't dated in a ling time... It makes me wonder when you started.
Nope, I'll allow you to win occasionally to keep the sweetness in moderation, considering I cannot handle too much of it most of the time. Be gentle on yourself, everyone makes mistakes.
I'm such a failure; more than a month of talking and you're still as arrogant as ever.
You were born, weren't you?
Uuu, women are gonna be all over you, mister... I would imagine.
Not always!! Fine.
It's better than admitting to being a romantic. If I'm close with that person, dealing with only them is preferred. If I'm not (which is the case most of the time) I prefer that we're in the company of others, as that usually means less talking for me - I get to just sit there and look pretty... Kidding. I won't tell you exactly how I came to prefer seclusion though.
I had fried...
... shrimp, obviously. I tend to stick to a certain type of food for a long while once I start liking it. Though apparently shrimp isn't exactly safe to eat, but that likely won't stop me.
I'm sure plenty could take it just fine...
I don't like it cause the line of the eye comes so close to the mouth, it just doesn't look right. Oh, I forgot, I also don't like this one ;_; much. The tears look like some type of deformed mustache cause of their proximity to the mouth, once again. lol
I've known and said once that the reason you wouldn't be manipulative is because it would take effort... and you're lazy.
I did not give in. >_<
I could say the same thing, even if I'm not really qualified to yet.
And I somewhat enjoy making you skulk. ^_^
Maybe I'm blind... O_O
Forgot this too. "Youโd have to get through me first! And Iโm armedโฆ with wooden spoons!"
[... Returns to the house with a gun in hand] Please make me use it. ^_^
You're doing it poorly.
There is more bad news, the...
... one that we thought was saved ended up dying too. This time I actually got to see it happen, I felt so hopeless. Then during the night another one died, even though dad went to the store and bought some things for the water. Now we think he might've messed up the Nitrogen cycle when he changed the water, but... I don't know. So, there's only three of the original left, and they went and bought six more, but we put them in a smaller aquarium to change the water in the bigger one. Everything seems to be under control for now.
Well, I don't show my love for... darkness through my appearance, meaning I don't look gothic.
So, you show compassion for things that have no feelings, but not for those that do. Weirdo!
Well, sure, when you put it that way!
Maybe so, but it would take you forever just to find out what that is. What do you mean by "don't picture an elephant?" Well, after thinking it through, I've decided not to tell her this time, but don't let it happen again.
So, you...
... find me amusing like you would... a clown? You are helping me... with the percentage of the profits I get from... the word stoopid, right? I don't know how I could ever make it up to you. ;_;
I would too if I were you... which really means I should feel terrible as well. Lovely.
Huh, let's see, I think Dick is fitting. ^_^
But it's like an evil smile, a smirk, if you will. :p
I agree, but I wasn't necessarily suggesting that one takes the grand scheme of things into consideration. Before, you said it in a way that suggests living life to the fullest should be some kind of rule, and I was just saying that it's not; some people probably enjoy living life perfunctorily, most, in fact, probably do live it that way.
But aren't they also necessary to those that... aren't plebs?
You're just lucky that I can't whistle then, though I might start practicing now. :p Yea, it irritates me to no end when others do it as well; I want to smash their faces in. But I imagine I wouldn't mind...
... if it were coming from me. ^_^
You should.
Oh, goodness. I mean, it's a catchy song, but it would never make it in my favorites.
A... nothing. -_-
No!
To answer both of those questions, I just do.
I do know a lot... of useless things, yes. -_-
Don't you wake up, ever!
[Silence sinks inโฆ sits on kitchen floor for hoursโฆ sound of silence plays in backgroundโฆ] lol
I just prefer the idea of not being enclosed and being exposed because itโs more sensory input.
Especially you! It was so delicious that I did it again this evening, I upped the green onion, garlic and coconut cream; so it was even better this time! So youโre basically intermittent fastingโฆ I. F! You really burn fat having a small feeding window, but you can eat three mealsโฆ one isnโt enough, you should eat more and enjoy the increased brain performanceโฆ not that you need it or anything! :p I donโt think being full up is a bad problem to have if it means I can sleep!
Me? High standards? Never!
You pictured it like a cartoon?
I said three more, so thatโs a total of six not nine. That includes my first girlfriend when I was 15.
Let me win? What happened to never doing something intentionally to please me? Youโre right, in fact you know what? I deserve another biscuit.
Arrogance is looking more...
... like an incurable disease Iโm afraid, but just imagine if you succeededโฆ youโd probably win a peace prize or something.
I guess so, I donโt like to think about it.
Itโs a good thing I put away the sarcasm detector before logging on and reading that!
Alright most of the time, most of the time meaning pretty much all the time! :p Iโm glad itโs fine, because Iโm sleepy again! Exercise really does tire you out, and make you hungry!
Yeah, I couldnโt admit to that. Youโre lucky to be able to get away with that, if I just try to sit there not saying anything and look pretty there are two problems; the first is the most obviousโฆ Iโm not that pretty, the second is that my quietness is noticeable because Iโm usually doing a fair amount of leading the conversation. That makes me think itโs an interesting story, perhaps worthy of an epic film directed by Ridley Scott! But I guess weโll never know, or you will, but I wonโt. :( :p
Sounds good, I should have guess though really. Yeah I do...
... itโs like phases and sometimes I come back to a certain food I used to eat a lot of but got tired of it, then after a few years I rediscover it! Iโve been wanting to cook Chinese orange shrimp at home but Iโm not sure I can be bothered to deal with all the oil and stuff. Yeah itโs a risky business eating shrimp, apparently my mother almost perished after eating a dodgy prawn baguette! lol I find that funnier than I should.
Maybe, the weirdness has been a strange sort of favorite feature with pretty much all the girls Iโve dated, but itโs something I always struggled with for some reason.
;_; reminds me of the face of some little invertebrate, I donโt mind it too much. -_- will probably always be my favorite now though.
Ha, you could profile me for the Feds!
โCourse not :p
Meh maybe you are, but personally I noticed it all tapering off around 24/25, thatโs the beginning of the end you know! lol. Oh, I forgot enthusiasm as well.
Then maybe I should stop! Another avenue of...
... pleasure closed off for me, why do you have to enjoy my skulking it was one of my favorite things to do! :p
But then how do you read all this? Ha, Iโm such a smartypants! lol
[have you ever seen the Sherlock Holmes films with Robert Downy Jr? Thatโs what I do to you, throw handkerchief as distraction, discombobulate, physical recovery: six weeks, full psychological recovery: six months, capacity to shoot with replica water pistol: neutralized.]
Thatโs terrible encouragement. :p
Imagine what it must be like for those poor fish, theyโre probably all swimming around in there looking at each other and wondering whoโs gonna be next!
I donโt really mind it but the gothic thing has always looked a bit childish to me, so thatโs good, I suppose. lol. I just bought a new coat today, itโs quite dark blue and itโs got yellow trim, not something Iโve rocked before but itโs good to try new thingsโฆ it will probably be my last luxury purchase for a while.
I said not with people, but spiders...
... have feelings donโt they? I show them compassion! lol. Being a weirdo seems to be the in thing these days, or so it seems when I look out my window!
Iโd probably give up after five minutes. Usually when you say to someone โdonโt picture an elephant!โ theyโll think of an elephant, so you influenced and controlled their mindโฆ itโs a shit joke. Sorry. lol. Iโll put that down as lucky escape number 1,659,214 then shall I?
Na, clowns are way more sophisticated! :p I donโt know I suppose youโve got an edge that makes me chortle. Yeah but the success of the โstoopidโ franchise is solely in your hands as the stateside promotor! You can cook me some eggs.
It is lovely, if you have to feel terrible then dragging somebody down with you is just standard human behavior.
O_O Insubordination! Cooler, 20 days!
Yeah, itโs like a knowing smile, I love those little guys!
Yeah I suppose you could interpret it like that, but I really meant enjoying the little things like a good burger is sometimes..
... sometimes enough. Itโs easier to live that way, Iโm just terrified of looking back and realizing that I squandered my time here.
Perhaps whistling should just be banned for plebs, of course theyโll flout the rules, theyโre plebs after all, but if theyโre caught whistling within earshot of the nobility theyโll be punishedโฆ a year in the tower would be appropriate. But wonโt whistling make you feel like a pleb? Fine, Iโll just have to drown you out with my own whistling and stoop a few social status steps. :p
I did!
Thatโs the thing, if you ask for favorite music of mine I canโt give it to you because itโs so dependent on mood and there are so many songs, so I just have to pick the sound and vibe Iโm liking at the time. I donโt have a top 10 or 20 like most people.
Nothingness is everywhere, so I like that! :p
Yes!
Well you didnโt, because she seemed quite happy actually, so ha! Unless she was pissed without me knowing itโฆ but thatโs highly unlikely!
Sounds like youโd be great at..
pub quizzes! lol
Sorry not sorry to disappoint, anyway, what year is it?
No cheering, no happy dance? Do you... miss me? O_o
I suppose having higher sensory input is more important.
I refuse to get special treatment. I'm really, very happy for you. -_- After looking up what that is, I guess I sort of am. My mom knows I have weeks where I feel like eating once a day and weeks where I eat a lot, so it's no big deal. She's just dramatic. I guess not...
You're saying I'm wrong?
Yes, I did, thanks to you.
You said that it is six, and since we were talking about how many more and not the total, I assumed you meant six more. ... You are seriously telling me that I guessed your age and the amount of girlfriends you've had right. You're lying, you must be! I don't see why anyone should date at 15...
I'm not doing it to please you, I'm doing it because I can't handle too much sugar. If that means you're pleased along the way, then so be it.
I will not be your excuse to eat your biscuits.
Here we go... Thinking that curing your arrogance is worthy of...
... getting a peace prize...
Me neither, but why don't you?
It was unnecessary. But I understand your need to take precaution.
I hate it just as much as you do.
Fine... again.
It may be obvious to you, but not to me... obviously. Regardless, I'm sure you're very pretty, the prettiest man ever! So pretty that you're noticeable in spite of being quiet cause people can't take their eyes off of your prettiness. I'm exhausted, never again am I complimenting anyone.
It's not...
Well, you know not to ask such a silly question next time. :p Oh, no, I don't get tired of food I like for more than a couple of days, if even. I don't know, but we must stop talking about it. Well, as long as your washing machine is safe, who cares about your mother, right? Weird question, but why didn't she?
Maybe cause you think your weirdness is weird, but really it's not weird at all, since we're all weird in some way. You know? ... Cause I'm not so sure I do.
You're right. I never thought of it that...
... way, but I can see it now. Hm, I wonder what makes it your favorite. (Notice how this was NOT a question.)
Yes, I could, so don't stay on my bad side.
Watch it, you!
The beginning of the end. How strangely enkindling.
I don't know, I can't help it. I must have a natural talent for ridding you of any pleasure.
My brother reads it for me, smartypants.
Considering I can't see, no, but I've heard 'em. Okay, I've heard of them. You wouldn't really do that to me, would you? *Pouts*
*Feigning enthusiasm* You can do it! I believe in you! ... How's that?
That's funny... ๐ Stop it!
I suppose it is a bit, since you really mostly see teenagers that feel the need to look that way. Personally, I wouldn't want to convey so much about myself to others through one look, and it just doesn't appeal to me. Well, I trust you have good taste...
Showing compassion for spiders, but not your own kind. I guess that's actually quite selfless, not smart, but selfless. Imagine I, no, Nini was...
... about to fall from a building. Just next to her is a tarantula who, coincidentally, is also about to fall from this building, but is far enough that you can't reach both. You only have time to grab onto one of them, who would you pick? :p
Why? What do you see?
Oh, I think I've heard it once before actually. It's pretty lame, you should be sorry. Oh, and never try again.
You shall not.
I wouldn't have taken that as an insult, you know; I happen to like clowns, they're so effortlessly creepy. Chortle? ... Not exactly what I was aiming for. -_- Yea, I haven't done a very good job at wronging people when I see that they've written stoopid correctly. Cook you eggs? Could you have picked something harder? >_<
You didn't "drag" me down with you. I simply realized I had to join you, so I strode... slowly, like the sophisticated woman that I am.
O_O B-but! I'm innocent!
I accept them... I think they might be growing on me.
I do enjoy a good burger, but even that is a rarity...
... for me. I'm just indifferent about my life, I suppose. Although when I really think about it, I guess it's a good thing I'm here so I can feel the indifference. How do you feel about your time here so far?
You would take something as harmless as whistling away from people that already have so little? ... Well, you'll never be a ruler anyway! I knew I could get you to do it, now we can both be whistling plebs.
Yay...
I don't even have a top 100. But, I do have a few genres that I would consider my favorite, as that's the type of music I usually listen to.
Nothingness is everywhere?
No, no... no!
Hey, you said she was aggravated!
Kay, then, I might be useful for something I'll never use... rendering me useless once again. -_-
I am not your calendar!
Bashing those pots and pans ainโt the same if thereโs nobody there to hear it, but Iโd inevitably get over it, after the sitting and the hours of skulking! :p
Indeed, it makes for better racing too!
Hence โforceโ feeding! :p So you should be, and it was sticky lemon chicken with thyme and coriander tonight, yum! Yeah, I used to do it when I was cutting weight for climbing, itโs not very nice because your blood sugar goes all over the place and I think training when hungry increases the risk of injury, plus I turned a bit stoopid with no food to fuel my brain. I think your mother is right, but I know you donโt care what I thinkโฆ and that only encourages me to say what I think because I know itโs inconsequential.
No, just that you are not correct.
Youโre welcome.
Unfortunately you were bang on, you just guessed pretty well and I can't lie about shit like that. That's the way the cookie crumbles, and now you're probably all smug -_-
It wasnโt really a consideration at the time, it...
... wasnโt called dating anyway; it was called โgoing outโโฆ even though actually going out anywhere together was a rare occurrence. lol
Well they do say discretion is the better part of valour! You will and are, but I find any excuse really.
Well, mine IS a particularlyโฆ chronic case!
Probably because Iโm here as I am now, the beginning doesnโt matter, even if I think my mother probably should have eaten more green veg. when I was in da womb! lol
Yes, once bitten twice shy and all that.
Compliments sometimes make me nauseous, Iโm sure youโll be happy to know that this time was one of those timesโฆ I am struggling to hold on to the biscuits I ate a few minutes ago.
I bet it is! :p
Yeah, poor wishwash. What, you mean why didnโt she perish? Because she was a healthy adult in her 30s I imagine. lol
You could be right, maybe that's an insecurity of mine... I must do my best to paste over that!
Yeah, I like little invertebrates, theyโre overlooked but I still think theyโre cool. I...
... donโt know how to respond to thatโฆ if I say I noticed am I answering another question that also wasnโt a question?
Meh, wut they gonโ do anyway?
Watch what? :p
Yes, I thought so too at the time, but now Iโm just like โdamn I ache!โ lol
So it seems you were born with a very important purpose, lucky you! :p
But how do youโฆ never mind Iโll just leave it there.
Even though itโs you, I simply canโt bash the disabled [takes shoes off so as not to make a noise and creeps out the room].
Thatโs better!
You brought it up!
That's how I see it. I try to look inconspicuous!
Oh thatโs easyโฆ the Nini has many talents, but spinning silk is not one of them! :p
Ridiculous clothing, accessories and haircuts.
I know, but I canโt be sorry, Iโm like an old man who laughs at his own jokes; shameless! lol. That only makes me want to do it more, but not enough to go to the effort. So I wonโt, but not because you say so!
I already did, itโs in the book and everything! Donโt make me use the...
... white out!
Alright then Pennywise! Alright then I exaggerated, you make me smirk and exhale through my nose a bit all at the same time. What were you going for?
Striding slowly doesnโt look right in my mind, but what does I spose. Such sophistication, Iโm sure youโre fine deb material! :p
No, if fact eggs are very difficult to get right as theyโre so simple; you canโt hide any errorsโฆ and I will judge very harshly indeed -_- ha!
I believe ya, fahzands wouldnโt.
You should show them kindness whenever possible!
I wonder why youโre indifferent. I used to be, but that was when I was all troubled and melancholy. Iโm sleepy so you get brain spill: it could have been better, it could have been worse, I regret some things, Iโm proud of others, some of the things Iโm proud of were done out of things I regret which is just mehโฆ but these days I do profoundly recognize my existence, even in the face of the insignificanceโฆ the years are flying by, so I will embrace being a human living...
... on planet earth, I will appreciate and absorb all of the amazing things around us that justโฆ are... and will be, even after I am gone. Hopefully Iโll fulfil some hopes and dreams, if I donโt by the time Iโm forty or something; Iโll just say fug it, forget everything I just said, and hit the bottle! lol
Maybe if they spent less time whistling and more time working they wouldnโt have so little! :p You never know, and I should be a leader, Iโd sort this rabble out! Speak for yourself, I will be nobility โslumming itโ out of novelty! :p
Yay indeed, prepare the fatted calf!
Oh god, itโs not indie rock is it? :/ :p
Apparently so!
Yes, yes, yesโฆ yes!
Itโs hard to explain, but being aggravated isnโt the same as being in a bad mood, not with her.
Nevaaaah, say never!
I use a lot of exclamation marks!

You'd be there to hear it, silly. It's times like these that I'd also like to be deaf; the sheer anger that it would cause you would be worth it. Plus, the less communication between us, the better. :p
I really wish I could try it. -_- Not for the racing, just for the speed.
You don't want to see what "force" does to me. I become quite difficult... No, that's putting it lightly, I raise hell. You'd be better off begging and pleading. :p
Yummy indeed! My mom made roasted potatoes with small pieces of beef and... some other stuff yesterday.
The thing is, when I do it, I'm really not hungry. It usually starts because I'm too lazy to get up and make something or I go to sleep extremely late, so I don't get to eat for a while. As a result, my body gets used to it and I lose my appetite. Then, I inevitably crave certain foods and start eating the same again. It's like a cycle. Nice try, but that won't be getting you on her good side; I'll only inform her of things you've done/said...
... that she'd surely disapprove of. :p I highly care about what you think! How else am I to know what needs to be done to annoy you?
Well, as long as I'm not wrong. :p
Well, there's a reason I didn't ask you, but okay, then... can you lie about what you can/can't lie about? :p Smug? ... I mean, not particularly, it's nothing unusual for me. Okay, fine! I would feel pretty damn smug if I knew for sure I guessed right. But I don't, so eh, whatever.
Exactly, it's pointless. Pff, teenagers. ... No offense, again.
It really doesn't apply though cause when I said I couldn't handle it, I just meant I don't like it. For some odd reason, I can eat endless amounts of chocolate and things like that, but when it comes to cakes and stuff, I like them to be very lightly sweet. Plus, I'm starting to think your poor soul deserves an ounce of pleasure now and again.
"I find any excuse really" - Then you won't mind leaving me out of it. Thank you.
Yes, I'm very well aware of that.
... Or...
... she should've just laid off the alcohol.
Good. It seems I've managed to put some sense into you.
I am, thanks for sharing. After all, I wasn't being genuine, but I really thought I was at least believable.
I know it's not. ๐
I recommend you stop using the wishwash, you don't want to wear it down. Ah, that's good.
You can't just paste over it. You should talk about it... with me.
I am guilty of overlooking them, but that will change... hopefully. I still don't like ;_; much though, at least not when representing humans. You should just respond by answering my non-question.
You're quite the rebel, aren't you?
Watch IT... IT.
Life.
I think so, but I have yet to reach my full potential.
As you should.
[Silence sinks in. Feels around for Dick] O_O I couldn't help but chuckle as I wrote that, but... I feel dirty. -_- We should really come up with a new name, immediately.
Yes, but, really, no.
So?
That's how you see it too? Great! You must feel terrible. I...
... know I do.
You hesitated. But, the spider doesn't have time for webbing! It is falling annnd it's dead... due to your fear of grabbing onto him. ;_;
That's ridiculous!
... You were sorry before! You mean you are an old man who laughs at his own jokes.
Okay, sure, sweetie. [patronizingly pats cheek]
Why use the white out when you can throw away the book?
So sweet! I have a special balloon just for you. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters. -_-
My walking style is not to be questioned. I'm sure you're better. :p
No, you really couldn't have, but not for that reason. What is the reason, you ask? It's that you're likely all the way across the freaking world. Or did you forget?
As long as you believe me! ... Since I don't know what this fahzands is. Why don't you just pretend you're talking to a third grader from now on.
How does one show kindness to lizards?
I really don't know, and I don't want to talk about it. Here come the questions: what happened to the poor...
... grammar when you get sleepy? What was the cause of this trouble and melancholy? What do you regret? And, last but not least, what are you proud of? It would physically pain me to be that optimistic, but I'm glad it's working for you. Well, you seem to have basically given up on everything, so what is there to fulfill? Hit the bottle? Great! That's likely what I'll be doing (the fact that I hate alcohol is all the more reason to do it). I could use the company.
Maybe they wouldn't have so little if the nobility, such as yourself, weren't so noble. What would you do to sort it out? Other than keeping people from whistling, of course. I prefer to speak for others too, so I don't have to deal with their idiocy, but I'll make an exception for you. ^_^
And just what is wrong with indie rock? I'll just answer that for you... nothing. And yes, indie/alternative, electronic, classical... and even R&B. I do recognize good music of all genres, but when I pick a song to listen to, it...
... tends to be the mellow/gloomy type.
Okay, you're everywhere, and that is not creepy at all. What am I doing right now? :p
No, no, no, no... no! I'm not sure what I'm saying no to anymore, but it seems like something I would say.
Okay... Fine.
Nevaaaah, evaaaah! This way I can say that I might be good at it, instead of being certain that I'm not.
Well, you seem to be a very expressive person!!! But it does not phase me!!!
... That reminds me, do you make memes/gifs often? And why?
Butโฆ it doesnโt annoy me. Wouldnโt you miss listening to music though? Iโd listen to some right in front of you and make sure you knew I was enjoying it! I would agree if it wasnโt your idea in the first place, so now I have to think of ways to increase the mediums through which communication can happen, perhaps I should have flyers printed out and air drop millions of them around your neighbourhood, millions of ;_; faces everywhere!
Not everyone can handle racing I spose :p
At first I pictured a mule refusing to get into a wagon, then I pictured a Tasmanian devil doing that tornado thing, I wonder which one is closer to the truthโฆ Iโd rather find out the answer to that than beg and plead. โSome other stuffโโฆ sounds delish! lol
I think stomach shrinkage is responsible for the loss of appetite, I donโt think not feeling hungry definitely means youโre getting enough nutrients. But then again one meal might be enough, you could be incredibly indolent! Well as long as you inform her...
... I hear thereโs no such thing as bad publicity. I am touched -_- oh thatโs easy; just think about what would irritate a cantankerous old man.
Never! :p
I was going to write an entire sentence justifying myself and seeking to assure you of my truthfulness, but I think the more I protest; the more it looks fishyโฆ plus if youโre not feeling smug Iโd rather keep it that way. Anyway, for all I know you might not even be a girl or a blind student at all, you could be a middle aged, hairy, morbidly obese dude... called Bruce! :p
None taken, again.
So that leaves the question, can you handle what you donโt like? No kidding, so can I, and I like all cake! Do you like carrot cake? It probably does deserve it, but it rarely gets it. I will mind!
Naw, Iโm inclined to believe the pickling I received in the womb is whatโs responsible for my youthful complexion!
Somebody had to.
You were, Iโm so vulnerable without my sarcasm detector!
You know so much, my goodness.
Butโฆ the wishwash needs...
... feeding!
Oh come on, a bit of papier mache and itโll be fine. Please no! :p
I thought it was a rhetorical question, so I will answer nothing.
Indeed, disregard the establishment!
IT is a rare and endangered species, I havenโt seen IT yet.
Sรญ.
Nah, I think you peaked early! :p
[Leaves house, goes down pub.] I chuckled, then I shook my head disapprovinglyโฆ so juvenile! :p Well then, whatโs your next suggestion? Richard?
I forgot what we were on about so okay then. lol
So THERE!
Yes, so we both feel terribleโฆ wonderful.
Nonsense, and that spider had agesโฆ but anyway, I think physics is probably on his side and he doesnโt weigh enough for decking out to be an issue! :p
Itโs ridiculous, itโs uncouth, itโs unsightly, itโsโฆ surprisingly not my cuppa tea.
HOW was I? Codswallop! Iโฆ stand corrected. Now where did I leave my pipe and slippers?
[gives death stare]
Because the book may become a valuable historical artifact one day!
Oh goody, a balloon! Does it float? Pfff, not with...
... THAT attitude!
Why not, is it a funny walk? I am, Iโฆ am an eligible bachelor! Bahaha
An elephant never forgets! Remember? You could prepare a century egg!
Thousands with an accent. Ooh I donโt know, are you sure thatโs not a bit advanced for you? :p
Why, by inviting them in for tea and crickets dusted heavily in vitamin and calcium powder of course!
I am so surprised that I fell off my seat -_- I think itโs a different kind of tiredness, my routine has changed so Iโm not pinging these messages at 4am anymore. Although my eyes and brain still struggle a lot by this stage. I duno, maybe I hadnโt reconciled with the arbitrariness or futility of the struggle yet. I donโt want to talk about it. I donโt want to talk about that at the moment either! :p Itโs keeping me alive I suppose. Well, I follow the hope for the best but expect the worst adage, however I expect the worst to the point where Iโve gone out and bought all itโs favorite stuff for teaโฆ whilst still being cautious of...
... the old self-fulfiling prophecy thing. Do you hate all alcohol? Iโm good company when Iโm drunk, until I fall asleepโฆ then Iโm great company!
Well if weโre playing that game then I will do what I do best, point the finger of blame at someone elseโฆ in this case, the aristocracy! The plebeianโs beef is with them, literally!
Iโd set up the Ministry Of Common Sense! I donโt care how or why, as long as you make an expection just for me!
Try everything! Na, I donโt even know what constitutes indie rock in these crazy mixed up modern times. So not a music snob then? I suspected as muchโฆ when you listen to a gloomy song do you walk up to the window and, as itโs raining outside, the streaks of water running down the window are all, like, symbolism for tears and youโve got, like, this forlorn look on your faceโฆ yeah, I bet thatโs how it is. :p
Youโre reading this and youโre wearing clothes!
It sounds familiar.
Thatโฆ sounds unfamiliar.
Why not just be certain anyway?
Ha, if I was sat...
... near you on an airplaneโฆ youโd be phased!!! Na, that one I found.
Ohh, well. O_O I would; you're not worth it. Your enjoyment of music would have no effect on me, I imagine.
This hostility between us is really deleterious. That would be very unfortunate, but quite thoughtful really.
I could handle it! I'm just saying I wouldn't do it for that reason, but for the adrenaline rush, being in control of something out of my control, letting go (not literally), etc. I can never do too well with anything when under the scrutiny of others though, so I'd likely come in dead last... by a few hours. :p
But hearing you beg and plead is much more fun for me. -_-
It can't be stomach shrinkage, not that quickly. But, yea, I probably don't get enough nutrients. Not that I care; I feel fine. I'm pretty much back to eating 2-3 times a day though, so moving on...
You must stop listening to yourself.
I don't want your help!
... And don't you forget it. ^_^
An entire sentence! I'm glad you didn't go through the struggle... cause it would've been pointless!
I, too, would really rather keep it that way. [Checks inside jeans] Yup, I'm definitely a girl; don't be too disappointed. Wait, I see what you're up to... You're not getting any proof, mister! :p
I can, with some water. You like all cake? O_O I don't think I've ever tried carrot cake. I really mostly like one kind that my mom makes.
That's likely partly your own fault.
But, why?
I can see why a man of your age would feel that way, but I'm afraid it wasn't worth the internal damage. :p
The burden falls upon me yet again. -_-
What if I promise to be gentle with your sarcasm detector?
Well, I can't count how much I know, that's for sure. :p
Fine, but stop overfeeding it with your... dirty self.
You don't expect me to believe that; but, okay.
It was not a rhetorical question. It was a... wonderment, which you should answer.
How defiant of you.
lol Fine, you're excused. I simply searched IT up on Google though...
You know Spanish! :p Sรญ, es muy horrible, no? Pero sรญ, se...
... puede! ... I tried. Goodness, I'm such an optimist in Spanish. -_-
O_o T-thank you?
May I just say how incredibly rude it is of you to leave a blind person all alone in an empty house.
Very juvenile, but I couldn't help it. ^_^
You're still leaving the suggestions up to me. Have you learned nothing? Anyway, you should just tell me your real name. I'm sure it's worse than anything I could come up with.
Fine. I wasn't talking to you anyway. >_<
THERE? Oh, wow, that explains it! ... That you're a 5 year old.
I feel more terrible. Ha, ha!
Stop being so literal, will you? Wouldn't a tarantula get injured or even die if it falls from a great height?
That's not surprising. I mean, what is your cuppa tea, besides tea? :p
You mean other than the fact that you said it yourself? Hmm, I'm not really sure.
On your hand and feet... grandpa.
[attempts to run away]
It won't.
Of course it does! Just imagine your face once it inevitably floats away... and it will! ^_^
Well, that's the attitude I have, so...
You're questioning it! Really, according to whom?
No, I don't, as I'm not an elephant. There are so many issues with that idea that I won't even bother entertaining it. ... You know they don't really last a hundred years, right? :p
Oh... what the hell kind of accent is that? Yes, since you forcibly dragged me to the third grade level way back when. ๐ก
Have you... done this before? O_o
Next time, you should read my reply while standing on the edge of a building. -_- I get it; I'm a bore, predictable, etc, etc.
Right... Or you likely chose to type that way. It's okay, you can tell me. :p It was really quite amusing. How mysterious. You are really trying my patience, dude. I don't know what keeps me alive, I just am. Ah, yes, the self-fulfilling prophecy... I thought you were referring to something more specific.
No, I don't hate all alcohol, I'd just rather drink something else... at all times. Why do you say that?
You are all to...
... blame. Their beef is with them... hahaha, that's funny.
Ministry of Common Sense! ... I won't ask.
Expection for you, it is. (Are we writing expect and except in the wrong places permanently now?) ... This does NOT mean you are special to me in any way.
I was going to show you one, but I realized I don't want to for a few reasons. No! Rain doesn't make me sad and neither do the mellow/gloomy songs; on the contrary, most actually make me feel... content.
If I wanted to get nitpicky about it... I'm supposed to be blind, so I'm not reading. And, unless I'm getting dressed, wearing something is not something I am DOING. ... But I don't, so okay; lucky guess. :p
Interesting...
Because I don't want to be useless at everything. You should know what that's like better than anyone. :p
No, I wouldn't. There are plenty of ways to effortlessly block you out.
I figured you found that one and a couple of others, but that doesn't answer my questions.
So, today, I had a quiz in one...
... of my classes and a guy asked me, "... is going to be on the quiz, right?" I was going to reply that that's what it had said on this website where the professors update us on things, called DTL, but instead I said, "Yes, at least that's what it said on GAG." He looked at me confused and said, "Oh, that's what it said on DTL?" and I'm like "Yea." Then, after thinking about it for a few seconds, I realized I had said GAG instead of DTL. -_- What sucks even more is that gag actually means something! This is all the more reason to never return to that stoopid class ever again. ._. ... You better not make fun of me for this!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I snapped something in my shoulder at the gym and itโs been killing me todayโฆ I think they may have to amputate. Just when I was makin me some gainz too! Sniff.
Ha, I knew that would put you off. I bet it would, so I suppose it boils down to which one of us has the better imaginationโฆ and I think we both know the answer to that. :p Deleterious to whom? Thoughtfulโฆ thatโs me all over!
I suppose I can understand that. But for me itโs both the speed and the racing, trying to outwit and overtake another driver where thereโs consequence, itโs a cerebral process sometimes, sometimes itโs opportunistic, itโs anticipation, improvisation, reflex, judgment and bravery. Itโs just good shit.
I bet it would be fun for you, but itโs just not my style.
It feels like it occurs over a few days for me, but thereโs no science behind that. lol. Get yo nutrients fooo! But yes, moving on.
Who should I listen to instead then, you? Pfff.
Well then when the time comes that you...
... need it, you shanโt have it. :p
If youโre half as cynical and suspicious as I am; it would have certainly been pointless. Whatever you say, Bruce! :p
Just water? Well I have so far, although I had some cake that was a little dry the other day; I still enjoyed the experience. You should, but make it a good one. And what kind is that? I know. Because I want the full selection of excuses.
Probably not, itโs just lucky we live in such a superficial society, nobody cares about whatโs on the inside! Lol
Youโre so long-suffering!
Too many promises end up being empty and my sarcasm detector is precious, itโs going to stay in itโs hiding place!
So you can only count to ten? :p
Iโฆ am one of the cleanest people around, on the outside anyway.
Papier macher is strong stuff!
What was the question again? :p
So did I, and good olโ Pennywise was the first thing I saw!
I know pigeon Spanish; that combined with your optimism means we should probably knock it on the head.
Youโre welcome.
Butโฆ canโt you use echolocation?
I see, back to finishing school for you!
Yes, and clearly notโฆ speaking of learning nothing, perhaps I should pitch a suggestion of my own: Tim Nice But Dim! Well, whatโs the worst you can come up with?
Whaโevah!
Pretty much, but donโt tell anybody, I ainโt goinโ back to playgroup!
Nonsense, how do you quantify that?
Not if I think it works in my favor! It might be alright.
Plenty of things, at the moment ibuprofen and a hot water bottle is very much my cuppa tea, also Thai food to help cheer me up.
I donโt believe it! And what about my reading spectacles?
[watches you run, laughs] :p
But it might be!
I read that as my face being the thing that floats away, how macabre!
So nothing, I donโt mind.
Only a little bit. According to ME! And other people, but I think they were joking. lol
Oh yes, youโre a squirrel, I had no idea they had such short memories. WHAT? Then why are they called century eggs? Iโm soo disappointed.
A funny one! I might...
... have been wrong for doing that, but youโll thank me someday!
Yes, I have hosted many a lizard tea party.
On the sofa or at the table with a cup of tea is excitement enough for me. You really shouldnโt indulge in such heavy self-deprecation! :p
I did, because it requires less effort! Mysterious is my middle name. Iโm not trying your patience, Iโm merely sampling itโฆ and itโs delicious, it is thin, but that makes it nice and crisp! :p Thatโs good, you should allow it to continue, I guess. The prophecy is not without its specifics. I wonder if youโll always prefer something else, it would probably be quite good if you did. Because Iโm pretty quiet when asleep, I thought you wouldโve appreciated that. lol
Well then, why donโt you occupy Wall Street and do something about it? :p
Thatโs good because I wonโt tell!
Grazie. Itโs become a thing, for me at least, so yeah. I understand. ;_; ha!
Fine -_- It was just a scenario in my head and for some reason I felt compelled to spill it...
... onto the page, Iโm not surprised to hear it was inaccurate. Me too, to a degree, Iโm going to see Noel Gallagher soon; Iโm sure Iโll hear plenty of dreary tunes then.
That wasnโt luck, those were great prophetic powers I used, respect dem!
Oh come now, youโre not useless at everythingโฆ youโre good at (or have the potential to be good at) tiddlywinks surely!
I donโt believe it. Okay then, no and novelty are the respective answers. :p
LOOOOOOOL! I die. Your street cred is now in tatters! Sorry sorry, I mean, Iโm sure heโs forgotten about it already.
How? Your shoulder hurts and you're worried about your "gainz"! -_- Amputate? You're joking. Next time, be a little careful, would you?
You know me so well. >_> I think you underestimate my ability to not care.
To both of us. It really is, though not always in a good way.
Must you make everything sound appealing? I guess I'm just more for the speed because I'd likely be alone, while racing means more than one person. I'm just not comfortable when being watched, if you can even manage to understand that.
Well, submission is not my style... and neither is compromise. Huh, I wonder, can one get arrested for attempting to force feed? :p
Well, not for me. You just worry about your own nutrients, okay? Moving on now.
Hell to the no. Anyone but yourself... and me. How about... God? :p
Pfff, what?
"When the time comes"? You're so sure that I'll ever need you...
I think I am the same as you in that aspect, but there's also something different that I can't quite put my finger...
... on.
Actually it is Caitlyn now. :p
What is better than water for that purpose? I'll think about it. This is pretty much exactly what it looks like... farm7.staticflickr.com/.../...192_83d3b06a65_b.jpg
You do? Cause I was just bullshitting.
Whatever.
Yes, they do. Which isn't really too much different than caring about what's on the outside, in my opinion.
Hence the use of "what if." I could never really promise that, as it would be broken within the same sentence. I was just hoping you'd give in and I could say that it was a hypothetical question and make you all sad. ^_^
Do you have a problem with that?
You must be living with animals.
Sure it is, when used for its intended purpose.
I am not going back to look, I just won't.
You have to be more specific... since it is so rare and endangered.
I fully agree.
Nope, I want you. ^_^
You too!
Uh, uh. . . Tim Dim it is.
Your secret is safe with me. But if this gets out, we know who our main suspects are.
You see, you're likely bigger, so you should feel more...
... terrible because there is more space for it, yet we feel terrible in equal amount (cause we're so similar), which really means I feel more terrible when you really think about it. It's all too... scientifical for you to comprehend.
Well, it doesn't. Yea, whatever helps you sleep at night; I know how much you need it.
That's... good, I guess. You cheer up easily...
[doesn't see them on you] ... I've done enough for you, find them yourself.
You're just lucky you're hurt right now. >_<
You're right, I'm sorry. I will stick to crushing my own hopes and dreams.
I like that much more.
Good, that mindset will be of great help to you.
Well, stop.
Do you plan on dating/marrying yourself? This is why I don't joke.
Weren't you a squirrel once? How squirrels forget where they came from once they turn into elephants... smh
I imagine cause it sounds better than month eggs. I know you are, I know. So, then how about I cook some, eat them for you and tell you how delicious they...
... were?
It did not amuse me.
You think? ... I've already begun the thank you letter. ๐
That's reassuring, but I'm thinking I'll just make them some tea, give them vitamin and calcium powder and let them find the bugs themselves.
Well, then, next time, before you fall off of your sofa/chair, make sure you have the hot tea cup in your hand! Why not?
I knew it...
Tim Nice Mysterious But Dim. That's quite the mouthful.
You sampled it a long time ago! ... As nice as thin and crisp sounds, are you implying that I don't have patience? I want an answer immediately!
Yea, yea.
Really, like what?
And why would that be quite good?
I guess that depends...
For the same reason I don't do anything else I want to do.
Tell me.
No problem, really. Oh, god, no. -_-
Good. ^_^
Fine. Well, it was wrong, but amusing nonetheless. I've always wanted to have a window seat though, for what it's worth.
Really! ... What do you mean by "to a degree"?
I had to look up who that is. ._. Do you...
not want to go?
Right... that's what I'm gonna do.
Please, stop. You clearly do not understand, and you're making it worse. I liked you better when you simply admitted that you struggle with reassuring people. :p
Sure there are. I could put my earbuds in and watch a movie/listen to music, which is what I do anyway. I could ask the flight attendant to move you, I could ask the pilot to lower the plane and kick you out, etc. :p Or I could handle you myself. >_<
And you decided to make a meme for my question... cause it was so important...
I'm not sure why I told you. O_o As if I care about my nonexistent street cred. Must people talk to me though! -_- ... Nothing ever comes out right.
Just as a notice, I except to be very busy this upcoming week. The replies may come in monosyllables or they be delayed. If you wish, you can tell me which you prefer in your reply. lol... I'm kidding... about the last part, everything else is sadly true.
The rotator cuff started hurting when I was doing shoulders. It feels a bit better now, but I think it needs plenty of rest from weights to be on the safe sideโฆ so I will now concentrate on swimming for a bit. Iโm always careful -_-
If you say so, I thought I knew relatively little. :p So youโre saying I should take a noteโฆ โhas greater capacity for not caring than first thoughtโโฆ okay then, noted! lol. Perhaps we should call a ceasefire, you donโt require a peace offering or anything do you?
In this case yes, because racing is awesome! I can empathize with that, strangely enough. I think being comfortable with it is partly natural and partly practice.
The words of a tough cookie! :p I kid but I hear you loud and clear. I donโt know, that depends on whether itโs a crime or not, it probably is, I wonder if I could get off with community serviceโฆ on second thought Iโd rather do time! lol
I will and do! -_-
I think Iโd prefer to listen to the Magic Mirror.
That was just a random...
... sound of derision :p
Iโm not sure, I was just making an empty threat of withdrawal of my aid should you ever need it, but youโll probably never need it, and if you donโt want it then that can only be good for me; as I donโt have to get up!
Different how?
Now I see why you had to check :/ lol
Rum of course! I spent quite a long time just staring at that picture. I do!
I think itโs different, the inside dictates what people do, and if what they do is going to affect you somehow then theirโฆ insides need to be taken into consideration. lol
So you were hoping Iโd be all like pbs.twimg.com/.../I8QlqUVh.jpeg
Not at all, Iโm actually impressed, well done! :p
Just the odd spider, they must be quite clean; Iโm always finding them in the bathtub.
Well then perhaps I should use some daub instead.
Neither am I, looks like we have a Mexican standoff without any Mexicans.
Here IT is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_(1990_film)
I fell off my seat again!
So you're telling me I have to come back from the pub? Probably for the best, I did just fall off my seat...
.. after all.
I never went in the first place, Iโm debonair enough! Lol
On second thought, Tim Dim looks like it could be Asian, and although it would be funny to be a white dude with an Asian name; I canโt misrepresent myself like that, so itโs your turn to make another suggestion.
They will be in great danger when I escape underneath the fence on the nature trail again!
It clearly isnโt something relative or logical, so Iโll take your word for itโฆ that doesnโt mean I have to send chicken soup does it?
How considerate!
When youโve had a lot of practice and being miserable you also have a lot of practice at making a bigger deal out of little luxuries and indulgences than usual. But it depends what I need cheering from.
[sits and looks sadly at blurry crossword puzzle]
So you want revenge but only on equal terms? Iโฆ respect that. But I should warn you, this shoulder injury is looking like it might last longer than I first thought. :p
And I will scamper around behind you with...
... some glue, sticking the pieces back togetherโฆ you know, purely for selfish reasons just to find out what they were.
But what will I do without a face?
Well, whatever makes my life easier.
I was joking too, and this is why I shouldnโt joke! If I could marry me I would though, Iโm a beautiful man. Yep, I definitely shouldnโt joke.
Yeah, to be honest I just moonlight as an elephant when it suits me.
That simply wonโt do, I am disappoint. ;_;
Thatโs terrible news :(
Thatโs better news. :p
Those lizards will think itโs the shabbiest tea party ever, itโs practically a buffet, which is French for โget it yourselfโ. No, you must put the crickets it a little tub with a spoonful of the powder and then shake them up to get them nicely covered, then tip them out all discombobulated, then let the feast begin!
What, and stain the carpet? Alright then, Iโm outta here soon anyway. Because you can have too much of a good thing, look at me, Iโve got the balance right!
That just means I...
... was doing what came naturally when sleepy; being lazier than usual.
It is, we should change it. Iโve only got three first names and one last name, so that should help with it not being such a mouthful.
Not at all, just that it is thin and crisp, that doesnโt mean you donโt have anyโฆ I mean think about it, it could be mille-feuille.
The prophecy is the things you fear happening to you, and I am to tell you what I fear?
Because it means youโd never do any alcohol related damage to your body, it probably decreases various health risks in the long run. But I tell myself getting messed up occasionally isnโt so bad. lol
On what?
Which is?
Oh so NOW you wanna hear about the Ministry!
You only have yourself to blame, I love idiosyncrasyโฆ sometimes.
A window seat in the bedroom or living room, or both?
Yes, in that itโs somehow satisfying to match music to my mood, but my dad played some gloomy piano music while sitting in a dark room while he was indulging his mid-life crisis, so...
... now I canโt do that because I associate it too strongly with assholism.
It looks like we have a new favorite face._. ha, I love it! It should be alright, Iโm just being pessimistic.
Glad to hear it!
Youโre right, but I may try again one day, reassuring people should be something within my grasp! And youโre a willing guineapig arenโt you? You never know, we might make a breakthrough for both of us one day! :p
You underestimate my ability to be disruptive!
What can I say, the feeling took me.
Well they do say sharing is caring, so me neither :p
Youโre putting way too much emphasis on what other people think, if something doesnโt come out right their confusion should only be a source of entertainment for you. My attitude has moved more and more in that direction.
I suppose those winter food stores wonโt fill themselves, just make sure you look over your shoulder when youโre burying those hazelnuts in the grass, squirrels steal off one another! How about delayed...
... monosyllables? :p I kid. Itโs not so sad, you should relish the opportunity to take care of business and tick stuff off the list!
Aw, not the rotator cuff! -_- You're never careful... considering the things you've told me.
I know it may seem like it sometimes, but I'm really not 90 years old.
No! Erase that! The last thing I want is for you to have a list of notes on me.
Perhaps... Depending on what the peace offering is.
I now agree. For me it's self-conditioned.
The toughest! ^_^
Okay, but don't tell anyone the real reason you're there. Or do, then we'll see if you'd still rather do time.
Good. I won't and don't.
Fine. Talking to yourself in front of a mirror does not count though.
I didn't like it.
I don't need it and I certainly don't want it. I might want you to get up at times though, just cause.
I'm not sure. I guess different in that you see every little thing that one could do wrong, but only acknowledge the good when you deem it good enough. Of course, I could just be naive, but, really, I think it's because you've been hurt and it has affected you more than you know... Or maybe you...
... do know, but you refuse to admit it to yourself.
Why the sad face?
Hold on to your seat... I've never tried rum. o_o Shocking, right?
Why, you like it? I did the same; my mom hasn't made one in forever.
So, why do that to yourself?
Yes, the insides need to be taken into higher consideration, but the outsides are important for some reasons. It might be superficial, but that's not a bad thing unless you only look at the outside, just as it would be bad for one to only look at the inside, since taking either into consideration is ultimately self-serving.
Yea, but instead you were like cdn. meme. am/instances/54987541. jpg -_-
Thanks! ... It is pretty damn impressive for a second time third grader.
Well, I'm sure they take the opportunity to bathe themselves while you're showering.
Fine then! Just don't come crying to me... for anything.
How do we settle this?
That works. Now... watch IT!
No, you shouldn't have gone to begin with, as you're useless to me in your...
... current condition. >_<
You sure you know what that means? :p
You should've thought of that before. And I'm not in the best mood at the moment, so I'll have to pass.
Who's "they" exactly?
O_O... I'm feeling much better all of a sudden, but thanks for the kind offer.
I sense that you want to talk about it, so go ahead, I'm listening. :p
What if you need cheering up from a tea spill?
I cannot believe I, ME is saying this, but... you really tugged at my heartstrings with that one. ... I'll look. -_-
... Only so you can't use the injury as an excuse for losing! I can wait, scaredy cat.
I can't see why you'd care to know, but the only way you'd find out is if you managed to stitch me up.
... Be my amusement. Isn't that enough for you?
Same.
Yea, don't. Such star-crossed lovers, you and you! Did the magic mirror tell you that?
Maybe I'm just extra cranky right now, but after my not-so-friendly encounter with a squirrel today, I've come to the conclusion that I no...
... longer want to be one.
Then what do you want?
That's wonderful news. โบ๏ธ
That's worse news. ๐
Showing kindness is just not for me. I tried.
Stain the carpet, burn yourself, spill the tea. All good things. ^_^ When do you leave?
[closes eyes, sticks out tongue]
Ah, yet sleep doesn't come naturally to you when sleepy... :p
What do you mean you have three first names and one last name?
So, you're saying I have a lot of thin patience. What does that mean?
I don't see why not.
I guess that's good. That depends, what's "occasionally" for you?
On how tolerant I feel of you in that moment.
... Um, let's just pretend I told you, kay?
NOW I don't!
Whatever, I'll play along. Plus, I kind of love how expection sounds. โบ๏ธ
Why? ... Anyway, bedroom. I haven't exactly felt the need to take living rooms into consideration yet anyway.
Poor guy. I thought you somewhat liked your dad...
First sadness (-_-), now bitterness (._.). Why are you against expressing joy and bliss?
Okay.
... It's nice telling people what they want to hear.
I... I am. ๐ I guess we'll try again then, shall we? First and foremost, you must understand why I feel that I am useless, then... agree with me because I'm right.
Yet again, you underestimate my ability to not care... about your disruption. Still, the chances of us being on a plane together are extremely slim, thank goodness.
The feeling took you? ... I suppose I can see why such a question would have that effect on you, in particular.
We've found one instance where that phrase does not hold true then.
B-but I enjoy being hard on myself. Well, I'm sorry for not seeing the pleasure in causing others confusion. I will start though, it sounds fun.
Is that what happened to you? o_o Yea, I mean, I can't deny their cuteness, but being one has made me realize they really suck.
How about we just stop talking?
You and your metaphorical lists. >_> I would, but the list never ends. Although it has gotten exceptionally smaller...
... after this horrid week. -_-
I know, poor me. While I have been reckless in some things Iโm actually quite careful over others.
Noted! :p
I donโt know, waddaya want?
Do you think it could be labelled social anxiety?
Ha, lets see how hard you are when you get dunked in a cup of tea! :p
Anything is better than serving the community. -_-
Fine.
Blast!
I did. ^_^
I will probably remain seated.
Iโm a practical man when it comes to self-assessment, also Iโd admit it if I thought that was the case, but I donโt think it is. Iโm just very selective over the people I associate with.
I didnโt think that was a sad face, more of an โoh dearโ face lol.
I think rum is quite nice, you should try it. Yes, it looks delish!
I agree, I place way more value on the inside than the outside but both are important.
Yep, thatโs me!
How old is the third grade in the USA?
Damn freeloaders!
Not even if I fall over in the playground and graze my knee?
With a wizardโs duelโฆ I canโt wait to show the Nini The Sword in the Stone!
I have done, now you watch it too!
Why, what do you have planned that I canโt do better when drunk?
No, Iโm just blagging it tbh with you, I never โad no education or nuffink!
Well neither am I, why are you not in the mood?
Whoever grasses me up!
Good, I will eat the chicken soup instead.
There isnโt much to tell, I just latch onto little pleasures as a coping mechanism! :p
I donโt know, maybe a replacement cup of tea with an extra sugar to help with the shock. lol
LOL! So do you have a soft spot for geriatrics or something?
Of course, I donโt want to get into a dust-up if I can avoid it!
I will stitch you up like a kipper.
You would be amused by my missing a face? Thatโs cold-blooded! :p
Well you know what they say, if you canโt love yourself then why should anyone elseโฆ or some shit like that. Yeah, maybe itโs not so magic. :/
What happened, were you mugged by one?
How about an Easter egg!
Now now, you showed kindness to that cat with the messed up leg, I wonder if...
... youโre secretly quite empathetic when itโs something you care about, but then most people are.
Ha, there is no carpet here! Iโm in โthe batcaveโ now, itโs a nicer place than Iโll probably ever be able to afford. Itโs been a pain in the ass moving in and getting internet sorted and all that shizzle.
[pulls out phone, takes picture, laughs at the derp face!]
That sums up a sleep problem.
I messed that up, most people have a first name, middle name then sir name, I have a first, second and third name then sir name.
It means itโs delicious.
I donโt think I want to expose those vulnerabilities! :p
These days itโs about once every couple of months.
Do you have different levels of tolerance for different people?
I will play no part in this charade!
Fine -_-
Me too, itโs almost as good as stoopid.
I suppose because itโs usually unique, itโs a novelty. Iโm liking the idea of a window seat more and more, I would cut a ghostly figure in the window.
I sympathize although I canโt...
... imagine moping like that in front of my family. Despite that, I do.
OMG they look even better with the brackets around them! They amuse me way more than they should, this is ridiculous. I donโt know, maybe because itโs clever to keep your joy a secret sometimes.
I enjoy hearing what I want to hear.
Alright then, why do you feel that you are useless?
I bet I could spark a chain of events that would penetrate your indifference. True.
It definitely tickled me!
Would you be willing to go on the record to dispel the myth that sharing is caring?
I think that avenue of pleasure should be closed off for you! And with that another one just opened up. :p
Yeah, it was a lean winter :(
That might be taking it too far.
Hey, these lists keep chaos from the gates! True, but the number of things on the list fluctuates, and there is a direct correlation with stress... at least for me.
It's way past my bedtime, I sleep now.
Such as?
I don't know what I want. I'll know if I like what is offered though. ^_^
NO! . . . M-maybe. ._.
Whatever, everyone has their weakness.
The community would disagree.
Okay, but it's much more comfy over here where I'm sitting. Oh well.
Fine, then when did you first develop "a touch of misanthropy"? You couldn't have been this way forever.
Yea... work on expressing yourself. An "oh dear" face should represent a deer caught in the headlights look, cause dear and deer, understand? :p
I don't see that happening. But if I ever happen to be around some rum, I won't turn down the opportunity to try it. If I hate it... I'll blame you.
Now it exists only in your imagination.
I do too, but I'm quite picky with both that saying that really doesn't help matters much. I guess I want reality to match up to the idea in my head... which tends to not happen.
The only reason I even bothered was so the meme could show up. I'm upset.
About 8 years old... I still say it's...
... impressive! If you don't think so, you have your dragging skills to blame.
Yea, I say you kill them. :p
You're a big boy, you'll live.
A wizard's duel without any wizards? No.
Are you talking about the movie? If so, why do you have to show it to her?
Why should I?
Um, let's start with... walking.
lmao I can see that. Pick up a damn book, now.
I was tired. Why are you not in the mood?
Well, I wish you luck in your endeavors.
Whatever, try not to spit it out.
Oh, my senses must've been off. -_-
What do you suggest one does if, say, juice is spilled and adding more sugar is unnecessary? ... I'm asking for a friend.
Not gonna lie, I have a soft spot for anything that is genuinely suffering. But I guess since old people suffer more in general, it touches me more.
... But you can't avoid it.
Don't know what that means, but I did not say you'd have my permission... You don't.
As if you wouldn't be amused, if you had a face.
So you want someone else! O_O
Perhaps..
... not.
No, I was moonlighting as a human while driving down the road when a squirrel decides to cross it. I slow down just enough for it to pass, but the squirrel stops, so I hit the brake and my school bag falls on the car ground thingy! It was sort of a situation of "you go first, no you go first" but... like I said, I was cranky.
Fine, egg it is, you want anything drawn on it?
It's not like that. The cat needed help, while these lizards are just spoiled rotten.
What kind of place did you live in before? So, now you'll be around your father and brother... Interesting.
[snatches phone, looks at it and sees a blurry picture due to slow reflexes] Nice try.
Really? Because you told me that you're not sleepy late at night (even when you don't take a nap during the day) cause the sleepiness passes. Anyway, I'm over this subject, just drop it.
No, I got what you said, I just wanted confirmation cause I have yet to meet someone with 4 names. o_o... Just why?
Ugh... Stop...
... annoying me! Please!
Why not? They're only vulnerabilities if someone can use them against you... I can't.
That's not too, too bad. Why do you do it?
Yes, but I also have different levels of tolerance for the same people.
Fine. All there is to say is... I just don't feel like talking about it, really. Is that what you wanted to hear?
Fine! -_-
"Almost" as good? ... You keep believing that.
For me it's either a real ghost or no figure at all... So, I guess it's gonna be the latter.
If not in front of family, then in front of who? Good.
OMG! ... No.
I don't understand what you mean.
We both win. How unusual, let's celebrate!
I thought you'd never ask. :p Well, because, in my correct opinion, being useless doesn't just constitute not being good at anything, it also constitutes doing nothing with the things you're good at.
How would you do that?
Only tickled? -_-
No. I could not care less what others believe.
Do I get both?
... Or were you the stealer? o_o
I see. You want just enough conversing to keep me around, but not so much that we actually talk. Oh, how incredibly... sweet you are. Well, fine.
I don't wanna be a gatekeeper. -_-
... Pretty sure that applies to everyone.
Okay.
You just had to ask for examples didnโt you? :p I duno, working out, climbing, driving, cooking, making certain choicesโฆ like which pieces of fruit are the correct ripeness for my needs, etc etc blah blah. lol
So inherently female! How about I send some positive vibes through the universe? :p
Donโt worry about it, the socially anxious often have more worth and substance than the sociallyโฆ relaxed, or whatever the opposite is.
It seems we share the same weakness, when it comes to a nice hot cuppa tea at least!
The community can take a long walk off a short pier! ^_^
Well youโll have to get up and turn your back sometime, when you doโฆ Iโll scurry over and curl up in your spot!
I think it was gradual over a few years as a kid, maybe around 6-10 years old, just through observation. I came to a conclusion about how people in general are and nothings happened to make me change my mind.
But what if I canโt help it, what if Iโm just terrible at expressing myself, what if Iโll be forever..
... misunderstood? I think I do, you mean like doe, a deer, a female deer!
Rum and ginger beer, with a squeeze of lime! But itโs got to be the right rum and the right ginger beer, if you hated it I would like it even more, I would probably quaff enough of it to be ill because I got carried away, then the finger of blame would be pointed back at you! I suppose itโs safer in my imagination; fewer calories.
In terms of attraction it matters, I canโt deny that. Different people see it in different ways, I have thought of peopleโs outsides as being like their vessel for quite some time now, the body is there and so they exist and they donโt have much choice over it all, the consciousness that is โthemโ is wrapped up in it or associated with it somehow and thatโs more who they actually are than their biological organism of a bodyโฆ type thing. Thatโs probably all compounded by the fact that Iโve known some really beautiful, angelic women whoโve been total duds as far as personality goes...
... and thatโs being kind. When I think about it, the girls Iโve dated have all looked totally different. So where we differ is I donโt really have ideas when it comes to these things. lol
Donโt be, I diligently removed the spaces and saw the dankest of memes!
My dragging skills are unparalleled! Itโs not my fault you made it so difficult, youโre just lucky I was in the mood and you can enjoy those impressive results!
I wonโt stoop so low, I value their little lives so I catch and release them. Back in the day I dried some washing outside and a load of hoverflies landed on my bedsheet and just stayed there without me realizing, so when I went to make my bed and did that thing of tossing the sheet over the bedโฆ there was an explosion of buzzing, flying insectsโฆ because it all happened so fast I thought they were wasps and I legged it, I was like โoh my god, shit!โ and I was terrified and amused at the same time. When I returned and discovered that they were actually hoverflies...
... I spent the next hour catching them and putting them outside, there were 18 of themโฆ thatโs how strange I am when it comes to empathy for creatures. I wasnโt comfortable with the idea that they were trapped and doomed, even if they only live a few days anyway, their life wasnโt going to be cut short if I could help it.
If it gets infected and I get gangrene and my leg falls off and then someone trips on my fallen off leg and then they canโt go to work and then their family goes hungry, itโll be all your fault! :p
Iโm talking about this https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057546/ because in it; there was a wizardโs duel. Itโs one of my favorite films for some reason. Iโd just like to share it with the Nini because I think itโs awesome, but it might not be girly enough for her, so when heโs old enough Iโll see if my nephew the pumpkin likes it instead. lol
Thereโs really no good reason you should tbh. IT was more fascinating than horrifying, now itโs just like a crappy old film. When I was a little kid I watched it with...
... my brother and his friend, his friend couldnโt believe our parents were so lax and I was allowed. lol
Yeah that might be a bit of a challenge, but only if it must be in a straight line! ^_^
And I try so hard to hide it :( lol. I actually joined the library the other day!
I was feeling all nostalgic because Iโm in this neck of the woods and I was based here back in the day, then I was all reflective, then I was all introspective, then I got all these negative feels, so my sails are hanging limply without any wind in them at the moment, but the only thing to do is to just get on with it.
Thanks, I donโt need it but Iโll take it just in case.
I will savor each gobful!
In that case itโs really all about the potential stainage, so do what you can to make sure it doesnโt stain and then โtake the Lโ. You can only pour yourself another glass of juice if you have some and lament the fact that the simple joy of a glass of juice was denied you. lol
Yeah, I feel for โem too.
I might...
... just be lulling you into a false sense of security, so when we scrap and I inevitably get the upper hand (after about 3 seconds), I will stuff you into a duvet cover and tie a knot in it, I shan't release you until you stop hissing and writhing around. :p
Maybe you could draw up a list of things I am permitted to do and a list of things Iโm not, then I can flout it!
Yeah, maybe a little.
As much as Iโd like just loving myself to be enough, I donโt think it is.
Iโm proud of you for minding that โwirrel. You might not be happy about the experience, but you did the right thing. If you no longer want to be a squirrel, then what do you wanna be?
โฆSurprise me!
They are being given a treat and some respite! It must be tough being a lizard, all small and defenseless and unappreciated, not on my watch!
A modern place, 3rd floor. This is an old Victorian house divided up into apartments, this is a basement flat, itโs all cold and dank, luckily my dad bought a dehumidifier and thatโs...
... helping. Iโll be around them more, Iโll probably see my dad often and my brother roughly as seldom as before.
Thereโs always a next time -_- you canโt never pull another derp face again!
Iโm not sleepy late at night, Iโm sleepy in the evening but struggle to actually get to sleep, then I get a second wind and Iโm quite happy to be awake until whatโs basically early the next morning and my body switches itself off due to be totally shattered. Itโs a bit all over the place but itโs been better lately. Anyway, I will now drop it!
I got an extra one to choose from apparently, when a few other kids changed their name in the first year of school I was tempted too, Iโd have changed it to the last one, but I decided my parents had picked the first one and I didnโt want to reject their choice because itโd hurt their feelings. lol
But itโs so much fun! Ok ok, Iโll just go and play quietly on my own for a bit.
Thatโs probably true but I have reasons for not wanting to share. You...
... wouldnโt of believed me if I told you I was afraid of the dark would you? :p
Just letting off steam I suppose, also itโs funny to get twisted up with a buddy, last time I got a cab home and started laughing to myself about the whole thing of going out and getting drunk, the driver looked unnerved and that made it even funnier.
Same as me then.
No, Iโll have to discard the content and meaning and just enjoy your dulcet tones instead.
I will!
So you wouldnโt actually use the window seat?
If it wasnโt something they could help with I wouldnโt mope in front of family, but I might mope in front of everyone else. lol
How will we celebrate? With cake?
I donโt see it as being as clear cut as that, at the very least youโve got to say itโs temporary uselessness, but the use remains within so thatโs not accurate or fair either. I donโt use all the things Iโm good at, I mean that would be impossible, and anyway Iโve got to give others a chance! :p No but seriously now, what are you...
... good at that you donโt use and why donโt you use it?
Iโd make the old folks nervous, when they get nervous they pass gas, when old folks pass gasโฆ everybody in the vicinity withers and dies. Basically, biological warfare, Iโm sorry it had to come to that, I'm sorry I had to use the old folks like pawns in a game of chess, Iโm sorry the Geneva Convention had to get broken, but you asked for it! :p
I was intrigued too! lol
I knew it!
Donโt get greedy.
No officer, I always abide by the law officer!
Being sweet is not my forte, so I use banter instead, but I will have to work on it, it seems! -_- :p
Then youโll have to hire one.
True, the stress levels will be different for everyone though.
[head collapses on keyboard] night night.
You just had to give examples, didn't you?
Right, far be it for us, females, to be able to decide that we want something as precious as an Easter egg. ๐
Uh, no, but I'll give you one more chance.
Maybe, maybe not, but I'm not bothered by that.
It's a nice weakness to have... for you.
... But they'll die!
Okay. Just know that I can be very persistent and annoying as hell... Just ask my brother.
Of course, when you were just a nipper. :p I thought I'd ask anyway. There must be a reason you feel this way only about humans...
What if I don't care? ... Oh, cheer up! After all, you've made it this far with your little deficiency.
Yes, sure.
Got it! Are you sure you'd like it more if I hated it though? ... Cause you're not doing too good of a job at conveying it.
I don't see the consciousness as being much of a choice either. I mean, some part of the inside is influenced by genetics and some by the environment, so how much is that really a choice? It can be a choice in...
... theory, but people tend be the way they are regardless. I see both as who I am, just in different ways. Plus, a person's outsides can have a big effect on how they are on the inside. How were they duds? Fine, they all looked different, but was there not one that was most your type physically?
It hadn't crossed my mind that I had made it harder on you in the process. Thanks for reminding me, I feel better. ^_^
I made it difficult! Are you calling me fat? I'm lucky to be taken all the way back to the third grade when I should be in college? Yea, no.
... Turns out you're a softy. ^_^ I don't value their lives, as it makes no difference to me if they are dead; I feel bad for a few seconds, and I get over it. But I know they... likely want to be alive and value their own lives, so for that reason I try not to kill them.
Oh, don't you worry! If it came to that, I'd make sure to get your leg out of the way. :p
Yea, I know about it, but I don't think I've ever seen it. I might...
... now though. Why, how old is he? You should show it to both, she'll probably like it too. You should... tell the Nini about this one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3mAoYCwGilY
It was pretty much my favorite. ._. She might like it.
I think I've seen a part of IT on TV once when I was young. There was a clown hiding in some type of hole in the ground and he kept calling on... a little boy, I think, and that's all I remember. My parents were very lax about these things as well.
Well... I'm blind and you can't walk in a straight line, we're screwed.
I've had a library membership card since forever, but I rarely ever use it anymore; I just read online. I do miss the smell of books though...
Sorry, that made me chuckle. Phew, anyway, why just negative feels?
Waw, you just have an answer for everything, don't you? :p
As you should! ... You know what it's like.
The ONLY lulling you'll be doing is lulling me to sleep... cause that sounds strangely cozy; I just might allow you to do all of that to me.
You still...
... haven't told me what you meant with that phrase.
I'll just make a list of things you are permitted to do, since the opposite would take years to finish. Flout it? You wouldn't risk breaking our fragile... friendship, would you?
Goodness! Cheating on yourself, that is a new low for humanity. -_-
Well, I sure as hell wasn't gonna run it over... My car is too important to me! :p
I want to be a dolphin. It'd be a nice contrast; they just seem so full of life, and so... jumpy.
I strongly despise surprises, getting and giving. But okay.
... It seems your kindness is enough for the both of us. Yay!
I feel your pain, really. Our heating/air conditioning wasn't working about 2 weeks ago. I had half a mind to just stay in the car cause it was so freaking cold in the house. Then, one day I told mom I couldn't even study cause I could barely keep my arms out of the covers, she told dad and he fixed it that night, thank god.
Well, good, I think.
Actually, that was quite...
... uncharacteristic of me. It might be decades till the next derp (I hate that word) face. You'll forget about it.
Ugh... I just can't let it go. One last thing, promise. If I remember correctly, you said you don't sleep in the evening so that your schedule doesn't get messed up... or something, not because you can't sleep. That's all. Now we're done. Seriously.
Better? That's great!
Kids can change their names in their first year of school over there? Weird. Well, are you gonna tell me your name or not? Hurt their feelings! ... It's just a name. Goodness, what a guy. ^_^ I was named by my aunt after her favorite old hollywood actress. My dad was going to name me Fortuna, which basically means heavy wind. ._.
Fine, it was pretty funny. Still! >_< No, no playing! It's a time out for you.
... Tell me the reasons then. No, I would not, since you wouldn't tell me if it were true, apparently... with good reason. Knowing me, I would... turn off all the lights! ... See, I'm...
... harmless, sadly.
Huh, is it really necessary to let off steam? I don't blame him, I'm certainly feeling a bit unnerved.
Yay.
My tone is never... that.
When did I say I wouldn't use it?
I'm sure they could help, in some way. Why, so you can get fleeting sympathy? Or is it simply to annoy them?
You celebrate your way, I'll celebrate my way. Kay?
While I agree with that, this is different. Besides, you were supposed to agree! It's not so hard to just... agree! I won't answer that.
lol I would kill you, I'm serious. It'd be justified, you're worse than a terrorist.
That's... not good.
It's not hard, I'm predictable. ._.
I am not greedy.
There are squirrel laws, this is news to me.
Right. You do that.
The nuisance would be more than I could handle.
True, and some can deal with stress better than others. I'm the "others." -_-
Nighty-night. [Phone falls on face]
I got da sniffles :( lol
Of course!
You saying you donโt desire Easter eggs?
Power of attorney? :p
Thatโs good then.
Mmmmm, it is! [sips tea]
Well the ones who canโt swim will, never mind! Youโre not about to tell me you canโt swim and make me take it back are you?
So if I remain seated, Iโm in for some harassment, I wonder if you can be as disruptive as I can! :p
Ha! yeah! I duno, maybe Iโm just a hyPERcritical, grumpy old man before my time! lol
I suppose so. lol
On second thought no, Iโd probably be indifferent. Thanks you for encouraging me to re-evaluate things! :p
Whilst I do agree, I still think you can choose whether or not to be a decent person though, at least to a degree. Yeah thatโs true, do you think you can look at someone and get a good idea of what theyโre like on the inside then? Whilst pleasant to be around, at least to me, I thought they lacked aspiration and pursued a generic superficial pathโฆ judgmental I know, but so were they. lol. I canโt lie, maybe a bit...
... when I first met them, but when taking that into consideration it didnโt really change my assessment of them much.
I donโt know if that could be called reassurance exactly, but Iโm taking it anyway! I did goooood! Lol
No, stubborn! :p Lots of people say theyโd love to be a kid again, you donโt and I respect that tremendously! lol
I wouldnโt go that far, I know it makes no difference to me either, but sometimes sentiment gets the best of me I suppose.
Gee, thanks for having my back and my leg!
Well I liked it, thinking about it makes me wanna watch it again now, I think I might have to schedule that in at some point. Heโs a year and a half, and heโs massive! lol. Aww :p Perhaps I will get in on DVD for her!
Yeah thatโs the one, it was very strange! Do you think it influenced you much growing up?
Sounds like an adventure waiting to happen to me!
Itโs a good place to go and study! I love the smell of books, at this place thereโs a bookshelf with some really old books in it, I...
... will admit to having been sniffing them occasionally.
At least someoneโs happy -_- I dunoโฆ Iโm over it now anyways! :p
It might not always be correct, but technically, yes! lol
The thought of doing that to someone offering no resistance is really weird!
What, stitched up like a kipper? I know what it means but I just looked up the phrase, itโs to trick or frame but also to use or betray, I was like shit thatโs pretty heavy goingโฆ and I was really just being silly! lol. But itโs a phrase used more commonly in a joking or teasing sense, mostly because the word โkipperโ is pretty funny, and thatโs why I used it too. lol. Anyway, phrase origins are interesting.
Just know that if I donโt like itโฆ Iโm calling Amnesty International! Is it really that fragile? :p Maybe not, testing leniency might not be a good idea, I might wind up in the hole!
But I canโt fulfil the yearning for the yin to my yangโฆ with myself, so Iโm just going to have to let me down gently I suppose -_-
Canโt say...
... fairer than that.
Yeah, dolphins are definitely on the magic list!
Yay!
I remember when the heating broke at my place and I woke up in the morning and could see my breath, that was interesting! lol
Maybe.
Decades? Well, Iโll just have to be patient, besides it gives me time to work on those reflexes!
Yeah the evening sleepiness; if I slept in the evening Iโd probably wake up at 1am fresh as a daisy, thatโs especially bad if youโre trying to reset your body clock through just staying awake when you want to sleepโฆ it ruins the hard workโฆ it messes up the schedule. Happy now? I would have gone with good, but I suppose it is pretty great! lol
Yeah, it is pretty weird. Itโs just a normal name, but thereโs been so much build up now, I donโt want it to be an anti-climax! I know, but I was a kid and I didnโt see it like that. So there are dozens of possibilities, shall I begin going through the list? I giggled at that! :p
A time out? For me? You shouldnโt have...
upload.wikimedia.org/.../...-Out-Wrapper-Small.jpg
Itโs partly tactical, like why would I risk it, and partly because I associate sharing my fears with rejection. -_- Pff, then I would bare my ass and allow the sun to shed some light on the situation :p
Maybe not, but it feels good. Iโm so misunderstood! :( lol
Never mind, neither is mine.
Youโd be cutting an un-ghostly figure if you used it!
Only if you let them. Mainly because they wouldnโt be worth the energy to cover it up around. Annoying them is just a bonus!
Suit yourself, all the more cake for me!
I was trying to reassure -_- :p
Ha, youโd have to get to me, that wouldnโt be easy! I know, Iโm terrible. lol
Why?
Most people are.
If you say so.
You learn something new every day.
I will.
Ha!
You can work on that, you know.
I go make hot honey and lemon now.
Oh, no! Well, my throat was hurting...
Nice attitude.
Yes, that's exactly what I am saying, unless I'm out of eggs of course.
As nice as that offer is, I will have to decline; I don't want peace between us.
Very.
Very... again.
No, sadly for you, I can swim. But I don't like long walks. Sorry.
Oh, yes. I don't think I can, but I don't think it'd be necessary either.
Don't give me that. Tell me, for real.
-_- You're not welcome, you! :p
Well, yea, but that choice is highly dependent on their personality, I think. Unless they consciously decide to choose differently.
To a degree, yes, I do; the inside can affect the outside as well. To say that they aren't connected in any way, that a person's look and personality are unrelated, just doesn't seem logical to me.
Okay... I do value your judgment, honestly. But, total duds for that? ... And you were putting it nicely! Seriously?
So, what affected your assessment of them?
Yes, yes, you did. Now simmer down.
Apparently, not stubborn enough. -_-
... Why?
Well, I would! It's fine, I know what you meant.
Oh, always! ^_^
Too excited to wait till the Nini is with you, huh? The anticipation! Ah, it all makes sense now. Are there any others?
Aww? Ugh! It's shameful, I'm ashamed. On second, third and fourth thought... it might not be such a good idea. We don't want her to feel the way I do.
I figured it was that one, but I never bothered to search for the name before. You mean, am I a psychopathic, serial GAGer killer on the loose? Not that I'm aware of, no. Maybe one day...
Adventure? How? If you call going to the hospital due to severe physical injury adventure, then yes.
I suppose. I prefer studying in my car in between classes. Weird, I know.
... It's important to use your olfactory sensory neurons when choosing the right book. :p You can judge a book by its smell, you know?
Yea, at least. So... who's happy? -_- Good.
... Never thought I'd hear those words. And I still...
... haven't, in a sense. -_-
... Those are the words of a prospective criminal... o_o
Yea, I did too, but it didn't seem to make sense in the context, so I thought maybe it had another meaning to it. Thanks for explaining so fully. :p
You can't do that, I'm afraid... It's not on the list. No, it's more than THAT fragile. >_< Smart man.
The yin to your yang? lmao Poor woman... whoever she is.
That would be the right thing to do.
You should join me, it'll be fun. Well, as fun as anything can be with me. ._.
That's cool... for like a second. Overall, pretty awful! I didn't experience such coldness. ^_^
Maybe? You didn't feel loneliness before?
I don't believe you to be capable of patience.
I should be...
Well, I'm not you, am I? So I think it is great.
So, your solution is to create more build up? Cause that's what you're doing. It doesn't have to be climactic, I would just like to know who I'm talking to... just a bit. It's sweet, I like kid-you... What happened to you?
No! I would tell you, but I don't want everyone else to know... for reasons. Giggled, why?
... It had to exist. >_<
Risk what, reject what? You do realize you're implying that you care what I think of you, right? ... Since when? Regardless, you shouldn't fear rejection. I know, I know, easier said than done, but it's true. If you don't care, the consequences won't matter. In other words... screw what I think.
Okay, is feeling good really necessary?
No, no, you're not.
I didn't say yours was...
... Why?
And you wouldn't let them, of course. Um, I didn't except that; it's quite admirable. Not the fact that you think others aren't worth the energy, but that you think your family is.
And all the more... ice cream for me! Ha!
Fine, you're forgiven.
Aren't we on an airplane, how far could you go? I feel slightly... weird for saying that after recent events.
It doesn't matter.
Is that supposed to make me feel better?
I do say so, so...
True.
Good!
Okay, how?
Enjoy...
Do you think itโs possible it was sympathy pains? :p
Butโฆ Easter egg chocolate is awesome, especially if you keep it in the fridge!
I shall have to convert to pacifism then.
Well thatโs my idiom ruined, I hope youโre proud of yourself.
Why, wut u gonโ do as an alternative to disruption?
Well if itโs not my grumpy old git tendencies, maybe itโs because the first years of my life were spent in a scummy area, as Iโm not scum; being uncomfortable with that would be understandable, plus there was conflict at homeโฆ so conflict at home, conflict out the front doorโฆ probably unsettled little old me. Then moving on to a better environment people were still shit to each other, just in a different wayโฆ I was disappoint.
I think I could choose differently if I wanted, but no matter what happens; I will choose to be a better person, despite my experiences. So yeah, it probably is dependent on personality, and what we can glean from this is that Iโm a wonderful person! [laughs maniacally]
Yeah, I think generally speaking people look like what they are, except for me, maybe.
You have to understand that there was, of course, more to itโฆ but sitting here and typing out a scathing character assassination; feels wrong and would be terribly bad form.
Just who they were, which was measured by how they acted, what they did and the hard to explain sussing out process, or to make it more palatable for youโฆ just my perception of who they were. :p
If I must simmer down Iโll be going and taking a nap.
Well persistence overcomes resistance, so donโt feel bad.
I duno, maybe when I was coming together and being concocted, so to speak, a bit too much empathy was hardwired into me.
Excited enough to consider watching it on my own, although that wouldnโt affect the enjoyment of watching it again with her, but I havenโt scheduled it in; so re-watching it for the first time in ages will likely occur in the Niniโs presence. The Jungle Book was another favorite, other than that I...
... canโt think of any at the moment.
Aww indeed lol! And what way is that then?
Thatโs good.
I hadnโt considered that, have it your way then. :p
I donโt think itโs that weird, youโre in your own little bubble in the car arenโt you. Really? That makes me glad I held on to my sense of smell. I knew you could judge people that way. lol
I took your chuckling at my limp sails as a sign of your own temporary happiness, I guess I was wrong, I must scold myself! :p
Try imagining hearing them in your head.
Crime doesnโt pay! Except when it does.
Welcome.
Oh the humanity! Itโs okay, Iโve had plenty of practice of treading on thin ice and egg shells! :p
Yes, the choice of phrase for its comic properties within this contextโฆ was a successful one, I suppose I get mild satisfaction from that, otherwise I wouldnโt have gone for it. Naturally I donโt think being with me would be so bad, but I suppose thatโs not up to me! :p
I might do, depends on your brand of fun!
I got through it but I...
... didnโt like it, itโs just too uncomfortable and not quite right to be sat inside in a coat.
Not the kind of loneliness the presence of my unhousebroken father could assuage.
I like fishing donโt I? That requires patience!
So I take it youโre not? Pfff, I give up :p
I cannot deny that you are not me. Tis your prerogative.
Oh god, sighs, very well... I. am. James. Kid-me still lurks beneath the surface somewhere, pulling a few of the stringsโฆ sometimes. You could whisper it in my ear, but I shanโt persist for fear of the ice breaking. I was being puerile giggling at โheavy windโ.
It didโฆ typical! lol :p
You see, although I might admit to a jot of caring having appeared on the emotional landscapeโฆ itโs not actually the fear of it happening again; itโs the association. Itโs like revisiting the scene of a terrible accident, (although thatโs for other people because I would be fine with that in that literal scenario, you understand, itโs just a metaphor) Iโm not happy the mental...
... scar tissue is robust enough and I donโt want to do it.
I think it is, occasionally... a raindrop of Prozac from a thundercloud of misery goes a long way, as we're stuck here! lol
Am too!
I was trying to reassure again -_- lmao
Because youโre not a ghost?
I would, actually, because I know what itโs like to offer help and be told to fook off. lol. Mhm, thatโs probably one of the strings kid-me has got hold of. :p
I hope you get brain-freeze -_- ha!
I feelโฆ exonerated.
I could go to paradise! Sorry thatโs terrible, it was too soon, Iโm an idiot. Well, thereโs isles separated by rows of seats, and Iโm pretty agile!
If you say so.
I was being silly, somewhere in my mind I think I decided that I have a low success rate with my reassurance, so attempted a bit of banter instead, if itโs any consolation I donโt think youโre really predictable. :p
So I suppose thatโs case closed. lol
To be fair it depends on the cause of the stress, but disassociation works for me.
I didnโt.
It's been a terrible day. -_-
That would require sympathy... for you.
Nothing to be thrilled about.
It won't last.
Lucky for you, your hope has been fulfilled!
That is for... both of us to find out. ._.
Different how?
... Personally, I doubt I'm capable of choosing differently cause my emotions wouldn't allow me. I care too much, even if I hate to show it. Eh, you're... okay.
I guess, the way I see it, different styles have different characteristics that pertain to them, so attraction to a certain style often equals attraction to its given attributes. Are you saying you don't look like Satan? -_-
Maybe you should try it while standing... :p See, I would think of someone that followed no path at all as a complete dud. You just hold people to higher standards, it seems.
You don't take attraction into account?
You should.
I should listen to you because?
Well, maybe some people just have significantly harder lives once they grow up. ... Do you still believe I'm...
... deserving of respect? :p
Okay, just try to keep your composure; you don't want to be the lame uncle. :p
I do like The Jungle Book, it taught me about the bare necessities of life! ... But I was asking if your brother has any more kids.
... Ashamed!
Well, what did you mean by, "has it influenced you much growing up?"
Maybe you're just a weirdo too. :p Pretty much, yea.
Mean, but true.
Let me, let me! I love to scold.
Okay. . . Do you sound like a chipmunk by any chance?
I knew it.
You have your brilliant self to thank for it. It must get exhausting, I applaud you.
It's not that I think the phrase is wrong in its implication, cause I don't really, but it still bothers me... it just does. Right, naturally. Well... not anymore.
I don't have a brand. -_-
It blows outside too. Get it? Blows. No? Okay. ._.
You're likely gonna regret saying that one day... Oh, well.
Not decades worth of patience... Or do you suck that much? :p
Pff, as if you were trying, ever.
That is right.
Bond, James Bond? ... If you say no, it'll be very anti-climactic. -_- And the extra periods didn't help, they only served to create unnecessary pauses.
Not enough...
Fine, I'm *****. You heard that, right? :p
Ohhh. Okay.
May I ask, how does it feel good?
Are not!
Well, stop it.
No, but I am confused.
I tend to not listen even if told that.
He's quite the lovely puppet master.
I will pretend I didn't read that so you can live to see another day. Aren't I just the sweetest ever?
Exoneration is good, I suppose.
Yea, too soon. Maybe tomorrow. ๐ ... Whatever. I don't have time for games. Plus, I'd have the passengers on my side. Ha! Ha!
I do. Case closed.
You should just stop talking.
You catch on quick. ^_^
Elaborate.
-_- Why not?
Why was it a terrible day? Itโs been aโฆ challenging week or so for me, I can only apologize for my tardiness.
And? :p
But why?
Nothing does.
Well pride comes before a fall soโฆ ha!
Come at me bro!
Different in that there was less petty theft and fighting and more bitching and psychological abuse. I didnโt understand why people couldnโt just be and let other people be.
I think thereโs a bit of a smorgasbord of emotions happening within people and they can choose where they go with it.
Thatโs true, back in the day I used to spend a packet on clothes and I think I got more female attention as a result, I canโt really be arsed nowadays though. lol. No, but Iโve been compared to him ^_^
Ha! I duno, maybe I do. I just think the path tells you a lot, maybe not just the actual path either but the motivation behind travelling on it too. If someoneโs about BS Iโm not really interested in them.
I guess I do a little bit, everyone does, but really how someone is influences attraction...
... massively in my case. Thereโs also the consideration that looks are finite, we all look like shit in the endโฆ and towards the end. lol
I did!
Meh you either will or you wonโt, I dragged you down to the 3rd grade a while back, what you do now and who you listen to is up to you, I think youโre sufficiently equipped to decide with such a high level of education!
Waddaya mean by that? Probably. :p
I probably already am! lol! Yeah I had to learn the hard way not to use the paw when picking a prickly pear -_- lmao
Just the two.
Ha!
I duno, I think I was wondering about being a kid and being allowed to watch horror films and stuff, I donโt think it made much difference with me.
โJustโ is so dismissive, I think being weird is fine, sometimes itโs actually goodโฆ unless youโre one of those people who shout about their weirdness from the rooftops because theyโre actually totally lacking in character and their weirdness is contrived in order to aid the quest to be โvery uniqueโโฆ people...
... like that irritate me.
You love to scold? Letโs hear it then. :p
Only when Iโve been at the helium.
Yeah? Prove it!
[breathing heavily, sweat drips from bow, acknowledges crowd, takes bow]
Donโt let it bother you enough to lose your cool will you? I think Iโm quite objective with that judgment actually, but yeah, I donโt know what other people want.
Not even a TM? :p
I laugh!
Probably. But Iโm at the stage in life where itโs more and more apparent my parents arenโt going to be around forever, theyโre starting to look really old! lol. I think I have the balance right with my attitude towards them.
Well I once went a couple of days without catching my intended quarry, but I found other shit to do.
Sometimes I actually lift a finger!
โฆNo. I enjoyed the anti-climax though, it was unexpectedly amusing for me. Sometimes I need the respite between words. The way I see it the strings are put under a lot of tension throughout adult life, kid me couldnโt handle that, so I take most...
... of the strain.
Bruce! Nice to meet you! :p
Fanx. for. understanding.
I thought about it for a bit, I think the primary affect is relaxation, it canes anxiety and loosens you up, itโs also mischievous, the good times roll and thereโs a bizarre camaraderie to it. I can see how itโs not a good idea for everyone though; some people come a cropper.
Am to * infinity + 1!
K.
Me too.
Same here, but sometimes there are no other viable options.
Iโll let him know you said that, he'll be touched.
Pure nectar, but now I worry about diabetes. :p
Yes it is, I wish it happened more often.
I still feel quite confident, most people are useless. :p
You should stop, er, blinking!
Me fast learn!
I mentally cut ties with the stress, it does leave you feeling a bit dead inside for a while but you can manage life on autopilot for the most part.
The honey tasted strongly of lavender, did not like.
Oh, it's you. ๐ ... Kidding. ^_^
No reason. Fine, there was a reason but I don't want to talk about it.
You don't need to apologize... but it's nice of you.
And it's just not realistic, sorry.
... Just because.
No, I suppose not. You know what I meant though.
You weren't really hoping I'd be proud of myself, were you? ._.
Not yet, sis. :p
But some of this behavior must have been directed towards you since you're so affected by it. I do know what you mean though, I've just been secluded from others for so long that I've forgotten the pointless problems they cause.
Okay. Then, how do you suppose they choose where to go with it? ... What causes the choice?
Very likely, but I was addressing the reason people choose the style they do... for themselves- that they do so partly because they like the attributes it's associated with. Anyway, I can't either. I'm extremely picky with the clothing that I buy, but I barely ever actually wear any of 'em. Too lazy.
The motivation, yes...
... I agree.
Yea, looks are finite, but many people want kids, right? Surely that must take part in the importance people put on looks.
Yay! I should too as I didn't get any last night. o_o Sleep, any sleep. You're the only thing in the way of me and sleep at the moment. >_<
I'm just saying... maybe you're not the best person to be telling others how to feel. And due to my high level of education, I must be right.
Forget it. Besides, the people that wish to be a kid again are likely the same people that wished they could be grown-ups once.
Probably. Well done, James...
Okay.
Neither do I, I think.
I enjoy dismissions. -_- Yea, those kinds of people are quite... weird. :p I agree though. The least they could do is make their "weirdness" believable, but no, they can't even manage something as simple as that. It's amusing to watch though... for about a second.
But... you're not taking me seriously!
it's not the same.
I do not want to.
Um, what "crowd"? The one that...
... consists of me and... that's it?
No worries. My cool is only ever momentarily lost. :p
How would your judgment change if you were being subjective? I'm sure you do. I was only joking.
Nope.
It's really not extremely apparent with my parents yet, but I still think about it often. -_- Ugh, life...
Okay, if you think so...
Like what?
Yea, to... never mind.
Oh? What's so amusing about it?
You're so selfless... with yourself. o_o
Great! Now everyone knows. But I'm to blame, really.
... No problem. But, you should try to get over it at some point.
I have gotten very tipsy once and, while I can relate to your description if it, I just don't... I don't know, I guess I'd rather feel that way on my own than having to drink to feel it. It doesn't feel real.
I'm not in the mood for math. You win. :p
Good.
Oh well. ^_^
I suppose that is true.
You think so? ^_^
Well, I assumed you'd consider death to be worse than diabetes... My mistake.
But... it wouldn't feel...
... special if it were to occur more often.
Please! It would merely take someone sticking out their cane between the aisles.
You should stop breathing! ... But clearly you don't listen to me. Whatever.
Me no like. ._.
How do you just cut ties with the stress though? It seems difficult.
Huh, I just don't like honey, at all.
I just feel so belittled right now! lmao
Fair enough.
._. ha.
Oh โbecauseโ, if ever there was a reasonโฆ โbecauseโ is always the most valid. :p
Yeah.
Na, hope isnโt an emotion I indulge very often.
Iโll put the banana down then.
Everyone got a bit of stick, I wasnโt too bothered when it was directed at me; the only thing that bothered me was the injustice of the situation. I watched other people getting worse stick, maybe Iโm just sensitive to unnecessary BS.
Probably core characteristics, thereโs a choice which is obviously influenced by those so it seems like itโs not a choice, but it is still a choice nonethelessโฆ and itโs the choice which indicates those core characteristics. :p lol
I suppose thatโs true, but not every style suits everyone so the choice is limited depending on who you are. Ha, just a winter garb then eh? For me itโs a mix of laziness and finding fashion trivial.
I do feel vindicated!
Youโre talking about choosing someone based on what you imagine the bambinos...
would look like? I suppose people might take that into consideration, but my thoughts on it are that genetics are a funny thing; thereโs no guarantee that traits are going to be inherited, plus youโve got to look at someoneโs whole family if you want to predict what the kids might be like. Also if I find a woman and decide I want to have children with her- I just donโt think Iโd care what color eyes, hair or skin the kids might have or how big or small they are etc. As long as theyโre healthy, in normal range, and hopefully not hideous; Iโm happy. lol
Wait a few years, a sleepless night wonโt be as easy to handle as it is now. So sorry. -_-
โMaybeโโฆ such diplomacy!
True.
Fanx -_-
That doesnโt surprise me. Unfortunately I canโt take any amusement from people like that, once youโve seen one; youโve seen them allโฆ so the amusement died early.
Or maybe I am and that was just a deflection to avoid scolding!
Why not?
Fine. [prods with broom handle]
Well thereโs me, myself and you...
and threeโs a crowd! :p
What causes the loss of your cool and what do you do when you lose it momentarily? Or is that classified?
If I were being subjective Iโd don my fedora, look at myself in the mirror and decide Iโm just great to be with!
Well never mind then I suppose. lol
Life indeed. Just try to make โem proud before they pop off I spose, parents worry about you even at the end, so if you can remove those worries thatโs all you can do in the face of such an inevitability.
I went off exploring, found a discarded clay pigeon and played some frisbee with it, made a shoddy bow and arrow, caught a vole and a mole, spent some time watching birds, watching the fish and where they were feeding, climbing trees etc. Those were the days! lol
Probably the big build up to a single-syllable name, but thatโs the nature of an anti-climax I suppose.
I know, I should really be knighted, for services toโฆ me.
Itโs a great name, you should be proud of it!
Yeah I will at some point.
I know...
what you mean, alcohol is similar to other drugs in that it puts you in an altered state of mind in a sort of artificial way, so it can feel surreal because once it kicks in itโs like flicking a switch. Iโve always been really accepting of the fact that Iโve consumed whatever substance it is, and this is the effect its having, so enjoy itโฆ sort of thing.
Yay, I am the win!
I know so. ^_^
I donโt fear death, but I do fear complications around eating biscuits.
Perhaps not, a trial run would be nice to determine if the specialness would wear off or not!
Savages! I could fall and break my hip!
I have selective hearing. :p
Ha! Me all smug.
Itโs hard to explain, you sort of bail out emotionally speaking, if youโre stressed about something itโs usually through fear of it not turning out as youโd like, so you give up any hope of it turning out alright and accept that shit happens most of the time, if you can accept that; youโre free to get on with it without the burden of worry.
lol! What don't you like about it?
I have a lot to do, so I'm just gonna skim through.
I'm sorry. -_-
I'm glad you feel that way.
Definitely! You can't go wrong with "because."
Well, as I said before, this time it's been fulfilled. Be happy!
No. You should eat it! :p
Interesting. Maybe...
That makes sense.
What are you referring to exactly when you say "not every style suits everyone"?
Oh, god. That's not what I meant. I just don't normally get dress up. It is pretty trivial in comparison to other things, yes.
Good.
I agree. I'm just saying that people probably do that regardless, at least for the more prominent traits.
It's gotten harder already actually, so I guess I'm screwed. Wonderful!
Yes, it's the best way of insulting people.
It's a chance to be judgmental... internally, towards people that I feel deserve it. I can't pass up such an opportunity. :p
... That seems deserving of a scold.
It just isn't.
As long as you don't prod me in the same area each time, I don't mind. Which you will...
now. -_-
I'll let this one go... Just this once.
Classified... Only for me to know. Makes me feel special. ^_^
I'd be sold. :p
So, I take it you don't want to be a dolphin then? ... You could become a shark instead?
I guess I wouldn't give it much thought yet if they didn't seem dejected about it at times; I would just assume they don't mind yet. That's such sound advice. ^_^
Sounds like a very nice day. Well, parts of it anyway.
So, you've found that you like anti-climaxes?
I agree.
It is a great name. ^_~ ... You likely won't get this, but whatever.
Good.
It was pretty interesting to contemplate, I won't lie.
Yea, yea.
Yea, you do, don't you...
Complications?
... Just pretend that it would. Easy.
You deserve it.
I see.
Me kill you.
How do you continue working on it if you give up hope that it might turn out alright? The attempt would seem fruitless.
It goes in the category of sweets that are too... sweet.
Nothing good comes from skimming, youโre always left with a watery, whey-like substance!
Donโt you lie to me. :p
That makes two of us.
Iโll remember you said that, I may deploy โbecauseโ next time I feel like being evasive.
I will be joyful for a fleeting moment, thatโs the best I can do.
Iโm actually eating a pear as I write this, before I started on the pear I had some peanut butter on toast and a cuppa teaโฆ so Iโm not sure I fancy a โnana right nowโฆ or do you want me to explode?
For you maybe. Iโm leaning more towards probably, I think the unnecessary part is emotive, like if something is more difficult than it needs to be for some reason I feel irked, and I hate things that donโt work properly because of design flaws.
โCourse it does!
Well, like fat people canโt pull off skinny jeansโฆ literally, thatโs why they avoid them, and short dudes canโt wear ยพ length coats because it makes their ass look even shorter. I kid but I think you know what I meanโฆ some people canโt go for...
... certain looks because it just doesnโt suit them.
Ha, me neither. I met a couple of buddies for a drink over the weekend and got accused, along with my other buddy, of still dressing like a kidโฆ we looked at each other and we were like โmeh, waddayagonnado.โ lol
Very good.
Yeah, people do suck really. I feel quite upset at the idea of being assessed and having my traits catalogued, even if they decide they like what they seeโฆ and want to order some offspring; I donโt wanna be judged on my shell. Thatโs probably something else I should work on getting over, because itโs likely to happen whether I like it or not. lol
Well youโre still in your early twennies I guess, the major changes in energy, resilience and recovery time occur around the age of 25/26, for dudes anyway, this is scientific factโฆ it was a topic of discussion down the pub! Itโs probably not massively different for women, so enjoy the time you have left, youโre not screwedโฆ yet! Feel better, reassured? :p
I, too...
... have found this.
I like that.
You be spoiling to do dat scolding!
Why? :p
Yeah, Iโd probably be going for the soft spot on the side, between the hip and the ribcage, I think thatโs called the waist or summink. Although Iโm warming to the idea of prodding all over, itโs like some sort of bizarre examination.
Probably for the best.
Makes me feelโฆ -_- lol
Of course, youโre only human! :p
I like dolphins, theyโre on the magic list fo sho, but Iโm not sure Iโd want to be a dolphin or a shark; I donโt like the idea of being an Asian delicacy.
Why do you think they seem dejected? I grew up amid and continue to deal withโฆ perpetual dejection, itโs probably part of the reason Iโm such a deeply neurotic man. Lmao
It was good, I wanna do stuff like that again.
I think theyโre funny sometimes.
I rejoice! :p
I donโt get it.
Bueno!
Drugs are interesting, the way the body and the mind react to them is interesting.
Add a few more yeahs and youโll sound like Muttley!
Uhuโฆ
Yeah, blood sugar...
... and all that.
I could probably do that.
Such cruelty, what about the aftermathโฆ I could get pressure sores and all sorts!
Selectively?
Me no mind.
Sometimes you do end up giving up on stuff, but if itโs something important you press on to see what will happen out of sheer whimsy!
I know what you meanโฆ however I went to Crete a few years ago and went off the beaten track, into the interior of the island, there were wild flowers everywhere and this made the natural, un-messed-with honey I bought taste amazing, it was cloudy and buttery and not too sweet, despite being honey. I may go back for more one day!
Right, Iโm off to go see Noel Gallagher, VIP tickets donโt you know! If terrorists attack the venue and I get snuffed outโฆ avenge me!
Sorry... Finals week.
I just woke up from a pretty bad dream and, apparently, I clenched my fist so hard while sleeping that I left nail marks on my skin. How... weird.
... Well, I got more time to study. That's... something. ^_^
I NEVER lie! ... Except, of course, when I do. :p
-_- I wanted to be solo.
Oh, so basically in every reply then. That's just fine by me.
That's quite sad.
Of course not. How about now?
... Now?
Ok, I'll stop.
You must hate a lot of things. Didn't you say once that you feel you tend to seek things that are bad for you? So, which is it?
It does, but not of course. More like, surprisingly. :p
Right, but I mean in general terms. Plus, I was talking more about style in terms of emo, ghetto, preppy, etc., instead of a particular type of clothing. And if I wanted to get all philosophical about it, I could say that that says something about them too. :p
Like a kid? What does that mean? ... Paint me a picture. :p
Yes.
Is it horrible that I don't...
... think it's such a bad thing... to an extent? But, yes, you should, cause it will. Sorry.
I actually am, because if it's already pretty bad, it means it'll only be getting worse. So, no reassurance for me, as usual. -_- In fact, I would say you made it worse, wouldn't you agree?
... I found it first. Not you, me!
You do? Why?
What'chu mean?
Cause I said so! ... I bet that'll shut you up. :p
Oh, the weak spot. -_- That spot is NOT to be touched! ... I get very violent. My little brother and I got into a full-blown fight once because he'd always threaten to tickle me there and I just lost it at one point. I like examinations... on other people.
Possibly!
Am I supposed to care? Cause I think I should. So, please tell me, in detail, how it makes you feel?
What does that have to do with it?
Oh, it's not so bad.
I don't know, I guess it's the occasional comment and the way in which they say it. Tell me more! :p
I recommend it... if I'm qualified to.
Sure... I...
... guess... In a way.
^_^
I know. ._.
They are! I still hate them though.
Yea, yea... yea, yea, yea.
I never worry about those things, but I naturally tend to keep things in moderation.
Yes, I know you can. But, you won't.
... That is a job well done by those elders then. What, did you expect them to lend you their cane?
Good one. But no, because if I could have, I would have chosen to selectively not see... it.
You no fun. ._.
I'm not sure if anything is that important to me at the moment. -_-
Interesting. And you think I'd like it? ... I guess I'd have to see for myself one day. Maybe.
There hasn't been any news. ._. Here I was, really looking forward to avenging you. Next time, don't get my hopes up for nothing. :p Did you have fun?
Mi capisci... I find myself hoping it went orite for ya. Iโve just been visiting my bro, I am exhausted.
It wasnโt a dream about sunshine and rainbows was it? :p One of the guys I used to climb with did something similar when he was under a lot of stress and pressure to find a proper jobโฆ he spent years working in a climbing centre despite being a friggin doctor of immunology. His girlfriend was pissed because she thought he wasnโt trying hard enoughโฆ heโd wake up with scratch marks on his forehead where heโd been having bad dreams and clawing away at his noggin. Those were some grim times for him.
You found a silver lining!
I seldom lie, when I do itโs usually to people I have no respect for. The truth is usually more interesting anywayโฆ at least for me.
HAN Solo?
Pretty much, but youโre actually getting the equivalent of vip access, not that itโs anything special for you Iโm sure. lol
Thatโs just the way it is for now.
Now is good, I will also have some walnuts and a glass of water.
I do hate a lot of things. Itโs both. :p
Of course for me, surprisingly for you, itโs okay to differ sometimes. :p
Arenโt particular styles of clothing essential to certain looks, I mean, where would hipsters be without skinny jeans? It probably does in most cases, I agreeโฆ but then I think thereโs some people who just make the best of what theyโve gotโฆ and maybe what theyโve got only lends itself to one style.
T-shirt, hoodie, jeans and sneakers is pretty childish according to some standards, I suppose it lacks sophistication, but I donโt need sartorial elegance to be sophisticated! lol
Yesh!
I think itโs horrible, but itโs just a hang up of mine so I wonโt hold it against you. :p
Well the rate of decline canโt accelerate as a result of my comment, so no, I wouldnโt agree! :p
Fine, Iโm not one to break the code of finders keepers.
I donโt know, maybe itโs coz it sounds like something I would say. lol
That you have an itchy trigger finger when it comes to dishing out scoldings.
Maybe, maybe I sulk now instead!
Ha! You should pick up a mop handle and shout โen garde!โโฆ for I am coming at you with a broom handle and the cane I acquired from one of the old fogies who tripped me on the plane! Revenge is sweet!
Definitely!
All frustrated and in the dark.
I donโt know, I was waffling.
It is, I donโt like cruel food, even if eating meat might be cruel in the first place.
Meh, I was told from quite a young age that I wasnโt academic enough to pursue a conventional career path like going to university and doing something professional and office based, I remember proposing alternatives like becoming a fighter pilot when I was in my early teens; I was told I couldnโt do it because my father tried and he couldnโt do itโฆ and if he couldnโt there was no way that I could. Thatโs just one example. So the sense of doom over my future has been there from the beginning, and my resulting flippancy, listlessness and discontentment has served to make my parents feel dejected.
I accept the recommendation, because I agree with it!
In a finding the comedy in tragedy way.
:D
-_-
You mean you hate the misuse of them?
Ha! Iโm gonna go watch some Wacky Races and Catch The Pigeon now!
I have a gluttony problem, but Iโm not fat so I have to assume the damage gets done on the inside when I consume a whole packet of biscuits! lol
Youโre right, sometimes I just canโt deny my feelings. :p
No, I expected to pry it from their gnarled, arthritic talons!
Your ass is a smart one! lol
Me barrel of laughs!
I just think you need more practice being whimsical!
I think you may have enjoyed the whole experience.
Well I was terrorizedโฆ I got sexually assaulted by some random woman. So you canโt be entirely disappointed. Despite that I did enjoy it, the venue was packed and everyone was singing along, I was pretty darn inebriated, โtwas good! I saw Derren Brown a few days later, and that was good too. Itโs been a bit too social for my liking recently, I canโt wait for the...
... festive season to be over so I can embrace the usual drudgery!
Yes, it went alright.
I can see how playing barbie would get exhausting. Really.
Nah, it was a dream about Santa Claus and his helpers. >_< No, it was actually about Zach and Cody from The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, which I haven't seen in years and didn't particularly like. I couldn't have made this up if I tried though, trust me.
o_o I bet his girlfriend was the real culprit!
... It sucks when even the silver lining isn't so great. -_-
Interesting. So... do you respect me? :p
It irritates me when people say that they don't lie, as that in itself is an immense lie. Although, if the truth was more interesting, movies wouldn't be so full of it. Do you not like movies?
I don't remember capitalizing the "s." But sure, yes, I don't see why not; anything is better than being me.
Not at all... But, how does that work exactly?
And that's quite sad. For now? Do you expect the tunnel to come to an end soon? :p
Yay. Your stomach is quite happy with you, I'm sure.
So, you...
... just enjoy complaining. And we get nowhere yet again. Eh, whatever, there's time... I guess.
It is more than okay, it's right.
I really don't think it would hinder the entire look, but I see your point... a bit. It seems to me that in such times where people have quite a bit of freedom of expression (especially in the US), it's pretty safe to assume at times that their dress has something to do with the way they are.
I've seen more than enough people wear something that doesn't particularly look right on them, but people tend to wear something they like regardless. But, yes, I do think that is true in some cases.
Well, it depends on the occasion. That sounds perfectly fitting for everyday wear. What do you need to be sophisticated?
No! ... Yes.
Wrong answer... That's not "getting over it."
No, but you've made my outlook gloomier. ๐ ... I don't wanna talk to you anymore, as I'm gloomy enough as it is, thank you very much.
No, you're not.
... Maybe you've rubbed off...
... on me. ._.
I have no such thing! Take it back this instant.
Sulk quietly?
You get a broom and a cane; I get... a mop. Does that seem fair to you?
Revenge is tiresome.
Yes, definitely possibly!
I feel... responsible somehow, but I don't mind. ^_^
Yea...
I mean, it is, but people won't stop because most don't care enough. So, I don't see the point really. Then there's the fact that it's "the circle of life." ._. I can be so cruel...
Your parents said these things to you? They really... shouldn't've! (Is that even grammatically correct? :p ) ... As if it was a known fact that you couldn't make it. >_> You're doing pretty well now though, despite that, right? I've actually been through something similar to this, except with one particular type of career path. I don't think it's that my mom thought I couldn't do it though, but she always seemed against it for some reason... Well, I'm pretty sure I know the reason, I'd just rather not get fully into it right now. However...
... she never meant it in a malicious way, so I don't hold it against her. What were your parents' intentions behind what they said? Did they genuinely think they were helping you?
You should accept my recommendations regardless if you agree or not, just for future reference.
I am not capable of doing that, sadly. ... See? -_-
๐ These look creepy enough. ๐
It's okay, don't feel bad.
Yes, I meant that. Thank you.
I should follow suit.
Wow! You should be consuming half a packet of biscuits (no more, no less) and throwing away the rest. :p I'm severely disappointed in you.
You CAN... not. ๐
Just remember these four words... in the following order: karma is a bitch. :p
My ass doesn't need your commentary.
o_o You do fast learn!
I suppose so. Are there classes I could take for that?
Huh. And why is that?
Oh? lol You poor thing... What did she do?
I'm glad you liked it.
I've been no more social than usual, even though it certainly feels like it. >_<
I am glad it went aiiight. :p
Well youโve got two kids to divide yourself between, both require different levels of play and imagination, youโve got to come up with stuff so youโre participating and theyโre happy, all while making sure they donโt hurt themselves somehowโฆ I find it tiring. lol
I just youtubed that, Iโm in a silly mood so I smirked stoopidly for about 5mins before deciding Iโd had enough, I think itโs a show Iโd be indifferent to; itโs both slightly irritating and mildly amusing at the same time. Anyways, there there, it was just a dream. :p
Thatโs not beyond the realms of possibility, sheโs pretty fierce.
You should be grateful thereโs any lining at all, โtis a scratchy garment without one.
Iโฆ suppose I must do somewhat. :p
I feel defensiveness bubbling to the surface, I should point out that I said I seldom lie. lol. Anyway, Iโm not sure which irritates me more, people believing someone when they say they donโt lie or the feeling of faux moral superiority the...
... liar gets from other people swallowing it. Whatโchu mean? I like some movies, they can be entertaining. I just think that generally in life, real life, the truth is more interesting.
You didnโt, I did thatโฆ aaaalll by meโself! Thatโs not strictly true, you could be me! :p
Circumstance I suppose, I decided to be honest and fairly open sort of as an experiment, but an experiment without an aim, so itโs really a whim thatโs become a habit. Non-vips get the bare minimum or nothing at all. Unless of course youโre a buddy, but I still donโt talk with quite the same candour with them as I do with you.
Not soon, but hopefully one day. Unfortunately I worry that hope is the mechanism through which suffering is delivered. But weโll see I guess.
My stomach is inundated, snowed under, short-staffed lol, Iโve been giving it a lot to digest over the past few days.
Oh very well :p โฆ I think the seeking out and indulging in detrimental things is probably a bit of self-destruction, even...
... even though I donโt really have anything againstโฆ myself, so I havenโt figured that out yet, it might not even be the case but thatโs what it points toโฆ however those things can often also be pleasurable and provide a distraction from being miserable, even if theyโre bad it doesnโt matter, because it is only I who will suffer the consequences. Having said that I can draw a distinction between that and unnecessary difficulty or inconvenience through things not being up to standard, and I feel annoyance when thatโs the case. *I should say though that as Iโve aged Iโve pretty much knocked it all on the head; I donโt even smoke anymore.
Iโฆ suppose it is! lol
Yeah, I remember when I was growing up if you didnโt fit in youโd definitely be a target, I look at some people out and about these days and think to myself dangโฆ if they wore that out back in the day; they likely wouldnโt make it home unscathed! lol. So times have changed for the better I suppose, even if some people do look...
... ridiculous, thatโs up to them. Indeed, choice of fashion is often a good duck test.
Well it was just the pub for a couple of catch-up pints. Thatโs probably subjective, but I think itโs seeing and doing a lot and taking something from it all, also itโs a bit knowledge based, ideally it wouldnโt be but I think it is, so reading widely is essential as well. But put on a blazer, some smart shoes, and a pair of frames from whatever era is currently in vogue, act coolโฆ and people will probably be tricked into thinking youโre sophisticated!
YESH! YESH! Ok I stop now or Iโll just keep doing it. lol
Canโt I still have it categorized as horrible but let go of the negativity surrounding it? So I accept the way it is, even if I still think deep down that itโs horrible, but the acceptance tricks me into indifference? Or is that too much of a bodge job?
Aw come on! lol. I was taking the piss through a bit of dark humor, itโs not all doom and gloomโฆ really itโs just that you canโt keep...
... getting away with living badly anymore, even when youโre young; not exercising, or sleeping or eating properly still isnโt good for you, it just becomes more apparent as you grow up. If I live properly my body pays me back and I feel pretty energized actually, itโs just that it sucks not to be getting away with indiscipline anymore. Besides, gloomy people tend to be realists, the best kind of people in my opinion, you should revel in it! :p
Iโm glad weโre clear on the matter.
You trying to shirk responsibility for a side of your character I find appealing? Fair play. lol
Oh jeebus I take it back! Just, please, put the scolding gun down! :p
I always do, but quietness is pretty conspicuous when itโs to do with me, so I win either way!
Hey, Iโve got a broken hip and pressure sores, weโre even! So does that mean revenge categorizes as a sweet thatโs too sweet?
Definitely Maybe!
Well thatโs something unsurprising to comfort me in the darkness.
โฆyea yea yeaโฆ yea!
Hmm, I donโt...
... really see malice as part of the circle of life, more of a sad tangent of it. I can do nothing to stop it at large, but I canโt allow it if Iโm presentโฆ and if through my intolerance, or anyone elseโs, some suffering gets prevented; I canโt see that as pointless.
Yeah, it was grim. lol. I think it is, but Iโm probably not the right person to ask coz I neva โad no education or nuffink coz there werenโt no pointโฆ nomsayin? Well Iโm 27, Iโve got no degree, just a meaningless media career behind me, unless I pull something out of the bag I think Iโm fucked as far as an ideal life model goes anywayโฆ but Iโm examining the options and remembering that Iโve always managed on my own and with a slight disadvantage for whatever reason, so you never know. Iโm guessing your mother dissuaded you from going down the art route because she thought thereโd be no money in it? Tbh I think there were a multitude of factors at play, but it just boils down to bad parenting Iโm afraid. They were...
... very good at some things, but terrible where it mattered.
Iโll give it a trial run out of intrigue! :p
You might need Shakespeare!
My emoji game is limited, poor in fact!
I think I need to wallow for a bit longer. -_-
Welcome.
You should!
Canโt I smash up the other half and put them out for the birds?
Nope, I canโt.
A bitch is karma, got it!
I wasnโt commentating on your ass; that would be improper, I was fiddling around with the term โsmartassโ because I think itโs funny. So there. I am no cad! :p
Me want become chimney sweep!
It must come from within!
It was cool, mainly because it was like going back in time, plus I eavesdropped a bunch of Germans being given a tour and, not being German, got to see some Creetiansโ distain for them without having to pretend it wasnโt happening. lol.
Groped me from behind, made me spill the beer, and planted an indelible lipstick smacker on my cheek, I didnโt even see who did it, Iโm hoping and assuming it was a woman. lmao
Cheers.
Donโt worry, itโs all going back to normal again soon and you wonโt have to feel that way! lol
I can now die in peace.
My uncles never did any of that. They simply offered us some money on occasion and let their children deal with us. :p Anyway, I basically have to put up with that everyday.
I'm quite relieved to hear that, it is a show meant for kids after all. :p Just a scary dream!
If only he was as smart to figure it out...
Somewhat? -_- Well! ... Whatever.
lol I'm well aware of what you said, my comment wasn't directed at you. Yup, and telling the cold, hard truth (even if it's that you lie very rarely) is the equivalent of a flaring "danger" signal over your head. I like this- us bashing on the general population. ^_^
I forgot. How do you figure that?
Well, I now realize it is what I meant to do, I guess. :p So, well done!
It isn't necessarily false. It just depends on how I feel about you.
I am rather insulted. >_<
It is sad how we feel we can be more open with a complete stranger than someone we have known for years and years... Although not entirely...
... sad, I suppose. It's better than not being freely open with anyone.
What do you hope for? Maybe so, but we keep hoping anyway.
Oh, well, the more the merrier... Christmas, right?
It is only you who will suffer the consequences? You don't really believe that? ... I hardly find that to be the case. Surely you have people that couldn't bear to see you destroy yourself! No, I do not exaggerate. Yes, I know, and I am... proud of you for that, I just am.
It's not merely a supposition, it's a fact.
Duck test? That sounds harsher than I intended it to be. Oh well. So, no winner? This is upsetting. ._.
I figured. Well, if you ever meet up with them again, I could hook you up. ^_~
... The latter is certainly where my air of sophistication comes from. :p Well, I look at it as if "sophistication" could have two definitions: the main one being your former example and the second being the latter, fashion based definition.
No, you won't.
I do not know. Too many question. My...
... brain, it is incapable... of handling this. Do as you wish.
Chill out, dude! :p You should know by now that I quite enjoy the gloom, not so much the inevitable doom though. But I'll keep in mind that I have no right to whine when the effects of living an unhealthy lifestyle start to become apparent. This is the best I can do. Thanks for giving me some clarity. :p
Me too.
Just maybe. I'm not sure I know how to accept the... compliment? otherwise.
No! You don't mean it. Mean it! ... Or else.
It might be conspicuous, but it wouldn't be enough for me to break the silence. You'll just get a quick pat on the back.
Fine, I'll take pity on your poor soul.
Well, for me, yes. For you, no, right?
Yes, we've established that, basically.
Huh, I'm a night light? You still need one at your tender age?
Yes.
How is it not? I mean, do some animals not prey on humans or other animals if they get the chance? I think it's natural. Sad, but natural. I didn't say helping...
... someone/something that is suffering is pointless, because I don't think it is. And even if I thought it was, I couldn't just... not help.
I imagine that must have been very deterring. -_- Yes, but aren't you about to get a degree? ... If you're not, then I'm sorry for bringing it up. Regardless, I don't think it's too late for you, and it might not be ideal, but anything rarely is. While it must feel comforting to believe you'll be fine on your own, you shouldn't feel as though you're all alone; it can be crippling, the void of life. But, I'm sure you know that. Something like that, except not really. I guess she's just always expected more from me cause I used to be very studious. Now I feel like a colossal disappointment, which I am. Oh, I understand now why you are this way toward them.
Okay. I recommend that you be sweet, for one week. I'm... curious.
Ugh. No, thank you. I'm good.
๐ ๐
๐๐ผ Mine couldn't be better. Jealous?
๐
Sure, I'll leave you to it.
Huh, that's what my grandma used to do with leftover breadcrumbs. ^_^ I feel that would persuade you to give it all to the birds though... cause of your ever so generous nature.
I know. ๐ I tried to be optimistic, I really did.
Or... Is bitch a karma?
I know. Such a gentleman... Loosen up, will you?
Aim high... up! hahaha... hum.
It must come? So, I just have to be patient, and wait, annd wait, annnd wait.
I would like to go back in time! B-but, you think I'd enjoy seeing people show unwarranted disdain for others? That is what you think of me. ._.
That's disturbing. And I was just about to ask you for a description, so I could avenge you. Oh well, next time. Although, we do know she was wearing lipstick... You know what that means, right?
My, oh my, you are good. I'm no longer worried.
Damn it! The emoji face didn't turn out right. I was afraid of that. ._. Stoopid GAG. Just be jealous anyway, I need it right now.
Das ist wunderbar!
I donโt think theyโd be satisfied with money and I donโt have any children to deploy, Iโm screwed. You babysit a 2 and a 4 year old?
Lots of adults watch childrenโs shows, Iโm not sure how I feel about that, but I think Iโm inclined to find it irritating. lol. What went down in the dream?
He is quite smart as far as academia is concerned, but heโs a bit out to lunch a lot of the timeโฆ climbing trips with him were hilarious!
Oh come on! :p You know I do.
I was just making sure lol. Itโs entertaining because the truth is often at odds with the ideal world in which people liveโฆ in their heads. I usually work alone, but I donโt mind having a partner on this occasion. :p
Fanx.
I spose itโs a matter of perspective. But I wouldnโt be offended if you concluded that being me would be shit! :p
Really? Remember I can break a habit if I think itโs a bad one, you should feel complimented really.
I see your point. When I give it some proper thought I suppose there are a...
... couple of close friends I could talk to in a similar way, itโs just that I donโt. The rest are buddies but theyโre not really close friends, acquaintances might be the most apt word.
Itโs modest, you might laugh! This is true, in the darkest times thereโs been something about defiantly remaining, stubbornness can be a good thing sometimes.
Yeah, bloody Crimma. I need to burn it all off at the gym, but my mother had a cold during Crimma, now Iโve got it tooโฆ but when I get a cold itโs not the standard runny nose etc. itโs a really seriously sore throat instead; it bleeds and everything. I think Iโm prone because I had a throat infection when I was 15 or so, Iโve been left with a load of nodules down the back of my throatโฆ good eh? lol
I guess itโs the immediate consequences, all the terrible stuff excessive drinking, smoking and taking drugs does to you is only really felt by you, and if you donโt care much about yourself it really doesnโt faze you. If you come from a fragmented...
... family the responsibility you feel to them with regards to the way you treat yourself is probably less than other people whoโve had demonstrable love in the family. Itโs only when you get older that you realize youโre really treating them badly indirectly and the magnitude of that, when youโre younger you think they wonโt care as much as they do, perhaps in my case for good reason. I was growing out of that anyway, but since the arrival of the Nini in particular and the apparent bond between us; Iโve felt very differently about life, or about my life anyway.
I love facts, so straightforward and absolute!
You canโt beat a good duck test, harsh or not! Winner? I guess that depends on the rules of the game, Iโm not sure who sets them, maybe the fashion police?
How u gon do dat?
โฆSo what kind of specs do you wear, do they make you look all bookish? :p I think the latter is a sort of pseudo-sophistication really, thatโs not to call you unsophisticated, I think youโre well on the way.
YESH I will! :p
Yaaay, Iโll have some cod goujonsโฆ that is what I wish to do!
Iโm totes chill maine! I think making the most of the gloom before the doom is where itโs at. Itโs a start I supposeโฆ youโre welcome! :p
Me threeโฆ forgive me, Iโm a shameless lame uncle.
Hmm, I see the predicament, just donโt blow a gasket and Iโll assume it went down alright.
Iโm feeling quite peaky, I really mean it; Iโm all weak and defenceless so need mercy! ๏
Blast. I never liked being patted on the back, even if the patter means well; I have always felt patronized. -_-
Get you, youโre a modern day Mother Teresa! :p
You know me too well now.
We have.
A metaphorical one is nice, at any age.
Mhm.
I guess the difference is choice, raising an animal in the best way, then dispatching it in the most humane way is the right choice for a being of our capacity, herding a pod of dolphins into a bay and harpooning them is the wrong choice. I guess I see the worrying as part of it, if you worry about it...
... it affects the way you feel, youโll be more likely to act to prevent suffering. Perhaps I wasโฆ wrong. lol
Yeah, Iโve just gotta make the best of where I am now. Nopeโฆ apology accepted. :p I donโt need a degree for what Iโm planning to do, or maybe what I was planning to doโฆ apparently itโs massively oversubscribed now and Iโve missed the boat, so Iโm having second thoughts. This is true, but starting over again it means Iโve lost years, which really hurts, but youโre right, rarely are things ideal. It can be, but I experienced the sensation of being alone at quite a young age, it lasted a long time too, so I just learned to cope. Hmm, I get why you feel that way. Obviously Iโm too far removed from the situation to know, but I donโt see how she could really see you as a colossal disappointment. She might have had ideas for you, maybe she might be a bit disheartened that some of these ideas didnโt come to fruition, but as a parent I think you accept the way things develop pretty...
... freely (within reason) and just continue wanting the best for your nippers whatever their situation. From the sounds of it your situation is a good one, you havenโt pissed it all up the wall like I did. If I cast my mind forward a couple of decades and had a daughter with the same traits; I couldnโt be disappointed, Iโd actually be astounded we shared the same geneticsโฆ Iโd be all proud and smug! lol. Yeah, looking on the bright side; if I ever have children I know the mistakes not to make. Obviously I love โem, itโs just difficult to relate to them.
Iโm not entirely sure I know how exactly, but Iโll try. If it gets me killedโฆ Iโm haunting you!
Ha! I pick up a book of sonnets and chase you with them!
Itโs not really fair -_-
Cheers, wallowing is best done undisturbed. ^_^
She sounds like a brilliant, wonderful woman! :p Oh no, I donโt want to kill them with kindness, sitting there and saying โone for you, and one for meโ as I consider the birds is actually quite appealing to me!
โtwas a valiant effort!
If karma is a bitchโฆ then a bitch must be karma?
Nevaaaaah! I am the picture of gallantry and chivalry, how dare youโฆ I was kidding. :p
Youโฆ youโฆ justโฆ LOL! I do my hyena laugh!
Iโll try and come up with something to help the process along, but Iโm no guru, so give me time to think! Iโm not sure itโs the right path anyway, Iโm not sure this is responsible. lol
The German army committed some terrible atrocities in Crete. But of course itโs unwarrantedโฆ โthe son is not accountable for the fatherโs sinsโ and all that. But thatโs whatโs funny really, stoopid unwarranted emotions flying around between two groups of people, both of which donโt realize theyโre being sillyโฆ all while you remain neutral and enjoy an ice lolly! lol
I know, poor little me! I should have kept the bit of tissue paper I got the lipstick off with, then she could have been hunted down FBI/CSI style, what a fool I was to cast it into the trash! I assume youโre thinking itโs a guarantee it...
... was definitely a woman, when I think about it youโre right, I wasnโt ruling out the possibility of a transvestite, but not at a Noel Gallagher gig.

Stoopid GAG indeed! I concede Iโm a bit jelly, being out emoji repertoired leaves a bitter after tasteโฆ time for a cuppa tea!
Goodness, do we not have a language we both know? Stick to it. But no, I've lost the peace once again. ._. Death didn't come to me in time.
You are, but I'm sure it's nothing new for you. Well, no, but it certainly feels like it sometimes.
Yes, but they usually use children as an excuse to watch 'em. Or at least they should. :p I... don't remember. I should really keep a dream journal... on my phone, of course.
I was joking. I'm sure he is. Hilarious how?
No, I really don't... Well, I do now. But, still, at most I could've suspected it.
Yea, but they should be able to recognize the difference. Idiots. Plus, they are usually the problem themselves. Idiots.
Same here, partner.
Velkom.
Good to know. I'll just keep this to myself anyway.
Maybe I should, but I don't. Although I no longer feel so insulted either, so... you've redeemed yourself. Moving on.
Why not? So, you're not a total recluse, even now.
Why is it so horrible if I laugh? Besides, you've got nothing to...
... worry about, I don't laugh much.
She hates it even more now, doesn't she? ... If that's even possible. o_o You should've been more careful! Especially when knowing how bad your colds are. This has been happening since you were 15? There must be something you can do to fix it, right?
And you didn't care about yourself? Well, in my brother's case, he is either a total idiot or a complete jerk, because it was very apparent that my parents cared. Unfortunately for him, both of those options suck, but there is no other explanation, I'm afraid.
"... Iโve felt very differently about life, or about my life anyway." How so?
I guess they're okay.
Maybe, but I duck from basically everyone, so I've never really given it much thought. One must simply be a human over the age of 10 and under the age of 50... and I won't acknowledge their existence. :p I'll decide: I lose, you... well, win.
Well, there are ways...
I was joking. I don't wear glasses... yet. ._. Maybe it is.
Fine, you...
... will. Now stop.
Good choice? ... I guess.
Okay, my mistake. It is there, you are right. :p It's a start and an end, actually.
I forgive you... just this once.
It did. You must be cautious with the compliments next time though. Or, better yet, don't let there be a next time.
Meaning it because you're feeling weak and meaning it because you, well, do are two entirely different things. The former is very much scold-worthy. >_< So, which is it going to be?
You say that as if this knowledge will deter me from doing it again. On the contrary, now I am thinking I won't keep it so short. ^_^
haha Not even close. You wish.
Only you know that, but I'll take your word for it.
I believe so...
Fine, but I advise you to get another, one that works well.
Mhm.
I don't see how having more thinking capacity equates to, I guess, being a good person. I see people that are smart, but not so nice quite frequently. I agree that worrying about it makes you more likely to act...
... though. You, wrong? Wrong about what?
Yes, you should. Oh, I'm sorry... again. That sucks. What do you have in mind if this doesn't work out? Sure, you've lost years for that particular path, but it doesn't really matter. There shouldn't be such a need to follow the life plan that others set out for you. You've done your own thing, and you should continue doing it, whatever you think that is. Remember that you should think very carefully and clearly though. :p You have? Why? I get it, I do. But if she's not disappointed, I'll just be disappointed in myself instead. No, I haven't pissed it all up the wall, but only because I imagine it would be difficult, me being a female and all. :p Same traits as me? o_o Whau, this must be you attempting to be sweet. Please, tell me that's what it is. That's good, just don't forget it.
You'll try! Okay. But I will likely regret this... if I haven't already. ._. Fine... if you wish to get vanquished as well.
Allow me to see the book for a...
... second. Just one second, is all I need.
Why not?
I agree.
I certainly think so. That's quite cute. ^_^
It really was, which really sucks.
Yes, but a bitch isn't only karma, a bitch is many, many things. A bitch is (as we all know) life, a bitch is a female dog, etc. But karma, karma is only ever a bitch! ... Just ignore me, please. I've lost it.
Okay, fine. Although, you are supposed to take my recommendations. You really are, so far. It's quite... unexpected.
Yes? Me what? No, please. Surely it wasn't that humorous.
Really? What Xper level are you then? Because I just refuse to take advice from anyone below my level. :p
I know, but still! I hate to say it, but I agree with the general idea of the quote. I suppose I could see the amusement in that, but I want to talk more about that ice lolly. That is what has truly caught my attention. :p
B-but, I couldn't track her down that way. I am so inept. -_- No, it means we can rule out anyone that dresses like...
... a man... in theory, of course. ._. But, hey, it's a start. Right?
Right, sure you did. Just not with a biscuit, please.
I know you wouldn't do anything just for me, so I figure it must be true. Yay! Tea won't fix it this time. So sorry.
I donโt know why I do that sometimes, Iโll stop if I must. Where did it go? Me neither.
Youโre right, but thereโs different levels of screwed, although itโs rewarding I find it one of the most challenging things. Canโt you just give โem some dough? lol
Somehow thatโs not as bad as watching them on their own. You really should. Iโve been tempted to keep a journal in the past, but I never did it, if I did; Iโd call it a captainโs log.
I know, I just felt like sharing some background on him for some reason. Heโs a space cadet, totally disorganized, it frustrates some climbing partners but Iโm totally laid back when I go climbing so I just see the funny side. One of the funniest things was climbing in Kalymnos, he bought a vest and put sun lotion on his arms, which were fine, but the sun actually burned through his vest so it looked like he was permanently wearing a red vest, on the way down from the cliff he went arse over tit and got covered in the orange soil, then his flipflop...
... broke and instead of ditching them and going bare foot he just did this funny shuffle to walk alongโฆ by the time we got back to the hotel he really was a sight to beholdโฆ I will never forget the look on the girl behind receptionโs face. Good times.
I spose thatโs true, I just thought youโd think I did because itโs self-evident; I wouldnโt still be conversing with you if I didnโt.
People are idiots, and dealing with them is almost always problematic.
Sprich Englisch! :p
Such manners.
I suppose Iโm just not interested in having that type of conversation with them. They share quite personal stuff with me, apparently they see me as trustworthy, which I amโฆ I think they might see me as a bit troubled because I donโt reciprocate by sharing back, which is convention I suppose, but luckily they donโt seem to mind and the fact that they donโt let it damage our friendshipโฆ is one of the things I like about them. Itโs all matter of fact, thereโs no dodgy motivation behind any of that...
... and Iโm glad they know it. Iโm reclusive but not a total recluse, although itโs been heading that way I still keep up with a few people when the mood takes me.
I guess itโs not. All I really hope for is to one day have a family and a house in the countryside. Thatโs it. lol
She actually said yesterday that she had a nice Crimma, I nearly spat my tea out everywhere! Thereโs not a lot you can do in a confined space with an infectious person. Everyone gets colds and the flu etc, itโs just that when I get it my throat goes cray, and I donโt think having my tonsils removed would make a differenceโฆ so I need to find a way not to ever catch a cold or flu, basically be immune to all strainsโฆ if I figure out how to do that; Iโll be rich, rich beyond my wildest dreams!
No, while still appreciating how profound and beautiful life isโฆ which really goes to show how deep the misery ran. I donโt really know the deal with what went on so I donโt know what to say about that, drug habits and...
... addictions are so varied and complicatedโฆ least not because drugs, their effects on an individual, and peopleโs charactersโฆ are varied and complicated. I can see how someone whoโs doing a lot of drugs might be experiencing a different reality compared with everyone else. I can relate to it because Iโve been there, but at the same time I canโt; because the way it went for me is different to how it winds up going for the majority of other peopleโฆ for me giving up was probably easier because of who I amโฆ and my family never knew the extent of it anyway. Maybe the way to look at it is the addiction turns the person into a total idiot or a complete jerk.
I canโt put my finger on all of it, but I guess I see whatโs possible in a way I havenโt fully appreciated before, a brand new and totally amazing person can be createdโฆ out of the aether! lol. Also Iโve got a sense of responsibility in a way, I canโt be a failure and have the Nini feeling disappointed or sorry for me in years to come.
Unless Iโm being literal and you were kidding, I think that got lost in translation, a duck test isโฆ if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duckโฆ it is a duck. But I do very much like the idea of it being to do with ducking people! Yay, I am the win! :p
Care to elaborate?
I got a pair to take the strain if I have to spend ages on the computer, but glasses look awful on me -_-
K.
Mmm, tasty fish!
Whatโs in the middle?
Such leniency!
I usually come out in a rash when I receive compliments, but only because theyโre rarely sincere, so I canโt blame you. Although Iโm not an insincere personโฆ Iโll refrain! :p
If Iโm feeling weak it means I really do mean it though, if I was feeling well Iโd tell you to bring it with the scolding!
I hiss like a goose as a final warning, then I bite!
I do not, she would have judged the shit out of me.
My word is valuable, cherish it.
Thatโs the end of that chapter.
Na, too bright, I likes โem dim. :p
Uhu.
The capacity alone...
... isnโt enough, itโs still down to choice, but without the capacity to know whatโs right and wrong you canโt make the choice. I donโt know what I was wrong about now, I probably misunderstood something.
Iโฆ ainโt got a Scooby (Scooby Dooโฆ clue). Physiotherapist or commercial pilot are both possible shouts but there will need to be sacrifices made in terms of time and money, theyโre probably preferable to PMing in feckinโ finance but there ya go. Iโm not really fussed about other peopleโs path, it just that my path is messed up and I have to admit Iโm disappointed in myself because I squandered time, working in media has been a waste of time. I learned to cope because itโs sink or swim, I felt like I didnโt fit in as a kid in school and there was bullshit at home; when itโs like that it means youโre on your own. Well obviously I can empathize with that. :p I seeโฆ you could use a FUD! :p That doesnโt mean it wasnโt genuineโฆ anyway, only five more days to go -_-
How you gonna...
... vanquish me if Iโm a g-g-g-ghost? Eh? Hmmm? Huh?
Whyyyyy, waddaya gonna do with it?
Because this is 2016, we should have emoji opportunity equality by now! :p
โCourse you do.
I bet she makes tasty food. That word has no business being associated with me -_-
At least itโs honorable, itโs better than a half-arsed effort.
Would you prefer it if I were to always do the expected? Wait, donโt answer that.
You found the type of witticism to which I am occasionally vulnerable, it was funny to me.
I was meaning in real life really, unfortunately I contributed enough to this place to become a guru here. So haha, you take my advice, yes? :p
It was a Solero or something similar! ^_^
I am disappoint -_-. Thatโs true, so how do we proceed, bring all women in for questioning?
I canโt have a biscuit? I cry now. ;_;
I put sugar in it! :p
You must; using translators gets tiring. It was fleeting peace, apparently.
What level does this fall into? I get how it's challenging, but how is it rewarding? No, I cannot. They don't deserve it.
Of course not, because they're being "forced" to watch. I should, and will, I hope. If I do keep one, I'll just write the really interesting dreams/events in it, that way I don't have to write much anyway. That is relatively fitting.
I'm glad you did... Well, not really. I'm neutral. lol Well, good times for you, but I'm sure he'd disagree.
Maybe I should have known... I suppose I'm not perceptive enough. Forgive me.
I guess so...
You speak English!
You are too sweet. -_-
I was the same way, and still am. People share things with me because they know they can trust me, but I rarely share anything with them. It's partly because I can't be bothered to talk and partly because I don't feel the need to. I don't know, I think the fact that they don't mind is probably a bad...
... thing. I think it shows a bit of selfishness because they're fine with having someone there without offering anything in return. Plus, when you care about someone you want to know about them. While I don't think they should let it damage your friendship, they also shouldn't be completely fine with it.
That's good, the mood never takes me.
I didn't laugh, I smiled, but it is pretty amusing. I couldn't have guessed. That's it though, really?
See? I told you it's possible that we could see eye to eye.
... So, you plan on living with this problem forever then.
How deep did the misery run, exactly? You don't have to say anything. I just think that some people are too self-centered, since they could not take drugs to begin with, but do. And, no, I don't think I'm being too harsh or unreasonable.
Yea, it's pretty... magical. But, it kind of scares me quite a bit, too. Which is strange because I'm pretty fearless in regards to most things. Anyway, I like how highly you think of...
... her, and how highly she seems to think of you.
Oh, I know that saying, I just never realized it was called a duck test. Still, my interpretation works quite well. Yay you. ^_^
Easy. I could show you photos and you could buy the clothes. But I was joking, really. I likely couldn't be bothered.
It's okay. It's not like you have to wear them permanently.
How obedient. I like this.
I'm sure the fish would've felt flattered.
The middle is where I try and fail to live a healthy lifestyle... over and over again.
Well, it wasn't achieved without practice.
That's not the reason I can't handle compliments. Yes, you should refrain regardless.
... So, you don't mean it. I'll spare you for the... unintentional honesty. I'm feeling tired.
That is no way to treat someone that gives you long, comforting pats on the back. Would you rather I slap you?
Probably, but I likely judge just as much. I just don't care the same.
Fine.
Oh, good. It really wasn't too interesting. I was...
... almost put to sleep... I don't want to sleep.
Fine. >_<
Uuhu
I think this is an instance of you holding people to higher standards than they deserve to be. You're basically saying people shouldn't kill because they have the capacity to choose against it. Yet, people choose to kill anyway, so maybe our capacity is only there to help us achieve things in a more efficient way, whether they are bad or good. I think this allows us to reach extreme degrees of both good and bad; degrees that probably surpass all other beings.
-_- Oh, I was looking forward to your admission of fallacy, regardless of what it was.
Ugh, I'd hate to be a physical therapist, although being a pilot is quite cool... but dangerous. Do you like either of those options, even if moderately? You shouldn't care to follow the same path though. So you'll start later than everyone else, so what? In a certain way, life is pretty meaningless... Why not accomplish all that you're capable of? Don't sell yourself...
... short. Anyway, we're both disappointments to ourselves. Yay!
Where was your brother at the time... or your girlfriends? :p
FUD? Maybe, if I knew what that is.
But! ... It doesn't mean that is was either. No! I've missed two days. -_- Let's only count the days that we write to each other. [pouts] ... Not that I'm noticing much of a difference in you anyway.
Uh, one can very well vanquish a ghost... Or I can, at least. It's right on the title of the How to Vanquish a Ghost handbook that I got in a Halloween store once.
Exactly what I said I would do... See it, obviously. What else could I possibly do with a book? ... Be careful, don't give me any ideas.
So, you were fine with the inequality in 2015? :p
I loathe when you say that; it just makes me want to disagree with you.
Nice bet. You are right; she did, but she doesn't do much anymore... -_- This isn't the one I talked about long ago though.
... I am aware of what that word means and I found it appropriate. It must...
... be so...
Sure, but it could've been honorable AND successful. -_- ... You must be just loving this.
Why don't you want me to answer it?
I did. Huh! Interesting...
I know you were. Yes, I guess I have to. But, even the advice I didn't take before? ._, Say no, please, or I'll begin to cry from both eyes.
I've never had a Solero. Do you recommend it?
Same here. That seems as good a place to start as any, and you don't seem to need me. ._.
No, you may not. Cry all you want; your tears won't change my mind.
... But you likely don't have enough sugar. Even if you did, it wouldn't be healthy. Are you really willing to risk your health for this?
As you wish. Ah, a variety of peace Iโm familiar with.
This falls within the moderate band of screwed. Sounds pretty weak and slushy, but itโs rewarding coz I like to see โem happy. You could give them lumps of coal instead! ^_^
Being under duress is a valid excuse. Sounds like pretty decent quality control, I like it!
Neutral eh? Could be worse, Iโm neutral about my decision to do so :p Naw, he had a good time in spite of all that; heโs resilient, patient and positive.
I apportioned no blame in the first place!
I know so.
Nein! I cracked myself up again, I really need to sort it out. lol (and thatโs the last time, I promise)
Oh no, can you forgive me?
Have you found people mind you being that way? Iโve got two friends in mind in particular, theyโve both made probing attempts in the past. I can tell they want to be privy to some of my inner workings; theyโve said if I ever need to talk theyโre there etcโฆ and I think that comes from a genuine place so I think they do care. I...
... said they donโt seem to mind, what I meant was they may not have liked being closed out so to speakโฆ but they accepted it and got over it, within the wider context of our friendship itโs not something that gets in the wayโฆ maybe Iโm being self-centered in readily believing that, generally, they donโt mind. I donโt blame you really lol. Do you think thatโs totally dependent on you, or circumstance? I mean do you think the feeling would take you if you knew people who you could get motivated to hang out with?
Yeah._. Oh, and keep some animals :p But itโs more complex than that when you consider I have to meet the right woman, and be the right man for her, also itโd be nice toโฆ I donโt know how to word this reallyโฆ have a life together before settling down and becoming more than two people, obviously keep going strong as man and wife when we do have childrenโฆ I also want the best for my wife and kids, I want them to be as happy, fulfilled and successful as they can be. Plus thereโs...
... financial challenge, which is part of the burden over the career decision thing, Iโll spare you the details, but Iโll explain if you want. lol. Iโd be a happy man if I could have a family, hopefully a happy one. Thereโs still a few other random things I wanna do, which would be nice to share with someone I suppose, but Iโm going ahead solo anyway, I might go and swim with whales next year ^_^
D-does that mean you had a nice Crimma?
Wellโฆ I donโt get a cold that often, so I live with it. You think I should go see a doctor?
Very deep indeed, can we leave it at that for now please? I agree, and I donโt think youโre being harsh or unreasonable, youโre being very matter of fact and reasonableโฆ but I feel defensive again, my parents were looking the other way, if things were different I probably wouldnโt started.
I know what you mean, I spose itโs profound in a way most things arenโt. I like it too, itโs something that justโฆ isโฆ but itโs good.
Well now you know! :p Hey, it was all...
... you! I canโt take any credit even if Iโd like to.
OR, hereโs an idea, you could buy the clothes and I could show you pictures of me wearing them! Iโm delirious! Iโm curious to see the pictures, but Iโm frightened the clothes would wear me! But as itโs likely you couldnโt be bothered I wonโt get my hopes up -_-
True, but itโs embarrassing if I have to wear them in front of people.
Donโt get too used to it!
Iโm sure it would, itโs a shame it was battered instead, poor little bugger!
Stop it!
Iโm happy to continue helping you practice.
I hope this isnโt a worthiness issue. I donโt suppose you wanna go into why you canโt handle them? I shall do you the service of refraining.
It wasnโt exactly unintentional, the intention was in accordance with my state of being ^_^
I donโt mean to treat the patter badly, itโs just a reflex action. I allow slapping in cases of hysteria, otherwiseโฆ maybe stroking, but only maybe.
True, although Iโd probably more readily accept your judgment over...
... one made based on religious principles, or Iโd at least be less irked about it :p
Good.
Fair enough, but when you DO want to sleepโฆ you now have material to assist you. Youโre welcome!
Ha! ^_^
[nods]
Letโs thresh this out. Iโm not saying people shouldnโt kill period. I think it can be justified. Itโs the motivation and the method, we have the capacity to choose how and why we do it. I donโt think thatโs holding people to a higher standard than they deserve to be. I agree with you about the degrees of good and bad though. Sorry to let you down. :p
Iโd probably hate it initially, but Iโd look to specialize and deal with sports injuries. The people themselves are an afterthought, itโs their bodies Iโm interested in; I want to see lots and lots of cases and really get to know whatโs going on in the body and how it reacts to treatment, the human body truly is a marvel! The problem is they earn shit money, truly pitiful, Iโve been doing research on setting up a private practice to...
... make up for that. The idea of being a pilot is cool, being a taxi driver is probably more dangerous when you look at the statisticsโฆ sorry I didnโt mean to be smarmy, I know what you meant. Again itโs something Iโd be capable of doing, but really wanna fly for a big commercial airline (money concerns again) and itโs so competitive! Either of those options is way more preferable to PMing, and thereโs a third culinary option which Iโm doing research on. Iโm driven by necessity, maybe I shouldnโt be. lol.
Hey! Iโm only disappointed in myself regarding the time squandered, otherwise I think Iโm just spiffing!
My brother is a lot older, I donโt hold it against him but he wasnโt really interested when all that was going on, I was a kid, it would have been weird to have a girlfriend at that kind of age, but itโs probably not that strange these days. lol
[sniggers] Female Urinary Deviceโฆ itโs also a Scottish insult, or it used to be anyway.
Thatโsโฆ true, but still, Iโm not not genuine...
... I hate to be lumped in with the rest or the population who areโฆ not genuineโฆ. generally. As Iโve been tardy (sorry) Iโm left with no choice but to go along with that, besides, I couldnโt resist that pout. Hey, I donโt wanna be too sweet, what do you want from me? [breaks down]
Ooooh really?
Iโll have a look for it in the bookcase, if I find it Iโll probably just sit and read it without showing you!
Fine is a strong wordโฆ but yeah. :p
โCourse you do! ^_^
Iโm sorry.
Me no like. -_-
You think I take delight in your failed effort to be optimistic? I do not!
Because I think youโd make me always do the expectedโฆ and take away my individuality mang!
Yeah, despite all my complexityโฆ itโs probably a case of simple things please simple minds. lol
[sighs then forces smile] very wellโฆ noโฆ Iโm being sweet rememberโฆ I did good?
I do, youโve been missing out!
Donโt be silly, I need you for the other half of the bad cop/good cop act!
I cry a river!
You win. >_< thatโs me scrunching my face up
Oh, um, okay. Good.
Yea, I'd rather have no peace at all, even if that's foolish.
Well, at least you plan on being... unscrewed in time. This is the reason you want a family, isn't it? :p Please, explain to me how that is weak and slushy? ... You're being an idiot, I thought you should know. :p
Uh, I don't think they would be satisfied with coal. I could try...
I think so as well.
It really is. My life is boring, so it should work better than I would like, even.
You're neutral? ... It could be better. -_- It's my fault, I should've been dishonest. Aren't you just full of kind adjectives...
You didn't? I can't remember. You should've, though.
Okay. Now I know it too. ^_^
I didn't have to look that up. Ha! Well, you do seem to keep your promises, so...
I think that I could... but I will not. I refuse.
Well, after many, many years of human interaction, what I have found to be the case is that people... do seem to mind, but mostly when it's something they care to know...
... about. It annoys the hell out of me. If I wanted to talk about it, I would... probably not, actually. :p
You're going to think I'm horrible, but I'll tell you anyway. I don't really feel the need to communicate with anyone if the situation doesn't call for it, even if that person means the world to me. The only differentiation that exists for me between the few people that I'm close to and the rest is that I dread when I have to communicate with those of the latter. I know, I'm horrible, I realize that. -_- I try to be different though.
Of course! ... What kind of animals? Oh, and why the countryside, specifically? I realize how complex it is, I just assumed you would want more for yourself individually, especially when I think back to the things you've told me. There are more details? ... I want! Well, I hope you get to be happy then. And, I'm sorry. I won't tell you what for, but just know that I am.
I would advise you to find someone, but it would be pointless; I know what...
... your reply will be. Which, by the way, I find very interesting- how you had quite a lot of girlfriends and now you can't seem to find one worth dating, even though you want a family. You're quite confusing, you know that, right? Anyway, sounds thrilling. I've never done anything like that... to my knowledge. :p
It does not mean that at all. But, since you ask, it was a pretty nice... Crimma, yes. You?
... What I think? Oh, I think you should, if you never have before. My little cousin, Eliza, you know, the one that... favors me, I guess. She has knee problems whenever she gets a cold. Apparently, she can't walk for weeks. It's awful... Not that I've ever gotten to see her in that condition, thank goodness, but my grandma would remind me not to fool around with her so much due to her knee.
... Sure. There's really no need to be defensive; I don't exactly know your situation... or you, for that matter.
You might know what I mean, but you're never gonna have to grow life inside...
... of you. -_- So, don't bother! ... I might be a bit resentful.
It is very good.
Yes, thank you. What would I do without you?
Okay then, yay me?
Oh! ^_^ More work for me? -_- No. It's really not just that I can't be bothered. I've given fashion advice to guys here a couple of times, and if I did it for them, I could certainly do it for you. It's just... I don't want to influence you in any way. You should dress the way you want to dress, whether I like it or not. I know what you're about to say, that I can't influence you blah, blah, blah, but... whatever.
Oh, stop. It can't be that bad. This meme should help you feel better... s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...85aac4a27b.jpg
B-but, I am getting used to it. -_- You're to blame for this!
... Speaking of fish, I managed to pet three of them a couple of days ago. They are so cute, I had the urge to take them out of the water and play with/cuddle them, but I didn't! ... Obviously. I did read that touching them removes their slim coat, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to do it...
... like once a week or so... What do you think?
o_o S-stop what?
So, you intentionally defy me? To test my leniency. Is that it?
It isn't a worthiness issue. No, I really don't want to get into it. Plus, it's not as if it's a big issue anyway. In fact, it's minute; I barely notice it.
Fine, whatever.
Okay, next time I'll pat, slap, then stroke you to make it all better... hopefully.
That's... not good. She was a better person than I'll ever be. You likely wouldn't be able to live up to her expectations though...
Wonderful!
Sleep is not exactly something I want; it's simply a necessity.
Enough. I do not find it amusing, so you shouldn't either.
^_^
We don't need to thresh it out, I got what you said. And I'm saying that your belief, that people should choose to kill other species the right way and for the right reasons because they have the capacity to do so... it doesn't add up. It's evident in the fact that people kill even each other the wrong way and for the wrong...
... reasons constantly. But whatever, I will let this go now.
Just... don't bother. -_-
You seem to have it all planned out, well done. Yea, it's probably best to not be driven by one certain thing.
... Still disappointment, sorry. Kidding.
Ah, I understand. I didn't realize you were so young. Goodness! You wouldn't happen to have a timeline, would you? It would make everything much easier. :p
I thought that's what it was. o_o All women should have one, it seems useful enough. Why was it a Scottish insult?
Fine. Um, thanks then. There! ... Better? Although, since you say you're genuine, then I worry you're just not thinking clearly.
Yay! You can't resist a pathetic pout? I will make a mental note of that. :p Since I've been tardy as well, I guess I must forgive you. -_-
... I want nothing from you. Maybe I was simply trying to say that you're naturally sweet. Ugh, just forget it.
No, not really. Just didn't want you haunting me...
Oh, really? [pouts] :p
I'm perfectly...
... fine with the inequality. It did help me win after all.
If only I could punch you right now... ._.
Yea.
Get over it.
I don't know... Maybe... No.
Right, cause I really want another testosterone-impaired man plaguing the earth. Besides, I can't make you do anything, if I remember correctly.
It could be.
Don't ever consider acting. You suck.
I miss out on a lot. -_- I'm used to it.
Fine. But only if I get to be the good cop... pretending to be the bad cop. :p
Be careful not to drown! ... On second thought, never mind.
I'm ecstatic. Really.
I wouldnโt go that far.
You sure that wouldnโt cause you to implode, nervous breakdown style?
Indeed, when they arenโt yours the situation is transitory. Maybe, thereโs probably a deeper psychological reason I wonโt go into, but also itโs just natural for some people and I think thereโs that as well in my case. Anyway, if itโs not cold and indifferent it must be weak and slushy. Thanks, takes one to know one! ^_^ Although that still makes me one._.
If theyโre not satisfied they can give it back and have nothing instead, ungrateful lilโ so-and-soโs.
At least itโll all fit into one book and save paper, hooray for the rainforest!
Neutrality is goooood! Mmhm, I piss kind adjectives.
Thatโs probably because youโre disinterested or saturated with other information, or both. Why should I? Youโd only shirk responsibility! :p
Knowledge is power, donโt let it go to your head will you?
You should be proud! I do have a high success rate when it comes to promises.
How am I gonna live with..
... myself?
Are you talking about gratifying fascination insincerely dressed up as mere interest or sometimes genuine concern? Or gossip? (Sorry I didnโt mean to be pretentiously wordy, that was literally what came to mind and the best way I could say it) Anyway, thatโs the way I see a lot of people, and I donโt like it either. However if I ever felt like I needed to I wouldnโt rule out talking about stuff with a couple of people who I respect and trust enough, itโs just that I havenโt so far and itโs only a couple of people anyway.
Youโre gonna think Iโm twisted but Iโll say it anyway; I actually find that quite endearingโฆ and Iโm not even kidding! :p
I duno mang, couple of dogs, some chickens, goats, alpacas, Iโm sure thereโs more but I canโt think right now. The ultimate would be taking injured or orphaned wild animals and fixing them up so they can go back to the wild, and I have a thing for birds of prey. Feels like a really childish ambition, I need to fucking grow up. lmao. I..
... like the countryside because itโs beautiful and peaceful and natural; it feels like thatโs where I belong. What did you think I was gonna want, to be king? I canโt be bothered to break it down, but itโs financial detailsโฆ which basically mean all this shit is impossible. My brother earns six figures, heโd be on around $140K in the US. He told me over the weekend that heโs sold his life, a house in the country is even beyond him and the odds are (because I fucked up) that Iโll never do as well as he does. Perhaps you know it and this is what youโre sorry about. lmao
Finding someone is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Iโve been approached, a couple of times recently tooโฆ but theyโre not right for me, you wouldnโt believe the bullshit some of these girls are on. Then thereโs the problem of having been single for ages, getting with someone is actually kinda scary. I think Iโve had the average number of girlfriends for a dude my age, I got with them hoping for the best but...
... being prepared for the worst, I dropped my cynicism with one of them and it bit me in the ass, but thatโs water under the bridge. I donโt really want to be cynical with the next one. I wanna find a girl where I feel like Iโll potentially be as precious to her as she could be to me, but so many people are fickle and really lacking in depth, Iโm not talking about the typical pointing the finger and fuck women because Iโve been hurt scenario you get on gagโฆ I mean people really do lack substance and depth; so finding one where I think thereโs a possibility to do the โtill death do us partโ thing withโฆ is difficult. lol
In spite of all this sometimes you get up in the morning and find you can run like the wind, sometimes the sky looks fugging awesome, sometimes you get a really really nice pizzaโฆ and life is enjoyable for a little bit.
Yeah, I likes whales. ^_^
Well what does it all mean then Basil? Jolly good. :p Meh, Christmas is hard to enjoy because of the old days, but these days...
... itโs alright I suppose, I got drunk and ate turkey.
I had an operation on my nose a few years ago, the ENT guy who sorted the septum was apparently pretty hot shit, it wasnโt the object of the consultation but I mentioned the throat to him and he didnโt seem to think it was a problem, normally I wouldnโt trust someone to actually be attentive to a question out of context but he wouldnโt have been working there if he was useless so I took his word for it. Maybe next time Iโm ill and itโs bleeding and on fire Iโll get a second opinion. lol. Aww, poor lilโ thing, stick a hot water bottle on dat knee! Do you favor her back?
Fanx.
Thatโs true I wonโt. Be as resentful as you like, youโre never gonna have to entrust the most important part of you over to someone elseโฆ whoโs defenceless by comparisonโฆ to wander around with while itโs at its most fragile. Soโฆ there! :p
Indeed.
Youโre welcome. I donโt know, I doubt my absence would make much difference tbhโฆ but since it was a sarcastic...
... and rhetorical questionโฆ it doesnโt matter. ^_^
Yay you!
I think really Iโm just curious, it just depends whether or not I liked the style, I may take it into consideration, or I may look at them and think โno way!โ Plus I hate shopping anyway -_-
lol, that sounds like something I would sayโฆ it reminds me of this s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...87117947f6.jpg
Howโs it MY fault?
Hmm, I remember back in the day when I used to go fishing, when you caught something big youโd get it in the landing net, then when you wanted to pull it out of the water and unhook it you had to put it on this foam mat covered in a sort of durable materialโฆ this was so the fish didnโt get messed up if it started flapping around on the bankโฆ before you put the fish on there you had to make sure it was wet so it wouldnโt remove all the slime. There was something about the slime being the fishโs immune system, its protective barrier so if it lost a scale or something it wouldn't get infected. If they lose some slime they do generate more, but they're...
... vulnerable until they do. Tl;dr handle them with wet hands if youโre gonna do it. Also remember theyโre suffocating all the while theyโre out the water lol :p
IT!
Na, at least I donโt think so, unless itโs subconscious. Your leniency getting a bit of exercise is just a happy by-product. :p
Good! Fairyโnuff.
Waโeva!
No patting under any circumstances, slap only in the event of hysteria, otherwise just stroke. Perhaps I should get those instructions tattooed somewhere along with cleaning instructionsโฆ 40 degree wash, no tumble dry!
I donโt think Mother Teresa was within normal range on the scale of morality or sanity for that matter.
Delightful!
You canโt possibly be telling me you take no pleasure in sleep?
._.
[nodding intensifies]
I might be missing the point but you donโt see these things as wrong? What if I wanted a juicy, live kitten burger?
I donโt really know what to do tbh.
Donโt worry, Iโm almost immune to disappointment nowadays. -_-
Of course, I always carry...
... one around in my back pocket! :p
I worked in a camping store back in the day, they werenโt exactly big sellersโฆ sheweeโs. Because the Scots are mostly morons. lol
Donโt patronize meโฆ maybe Iโm genuinely not thinking clearly! :p
Or perhaps I was just following instructions and being sweetโฆ I guess weโll never know. And Iโve been a bit tardy againโฆ I had my brother round over the weekend, went to a rubbish boxing match, my dadโs been here too, Iโm all tuckered out.
Forget what? ^_^
Now I will definitely haunt you! But it wonโt be a creepy haunting, more of an irritating poltergeisty one.
I found it! It was between Schrodingerโs Kittens and Small Business Guide ^_^ Iโm showing you with telepathy, you can see thatโฆ right?
Thatโs cold-blooded. lmfao
If only you could try! hahaha :D
Yep.
Need bridge, bridges wash away in recent floods, cannot do.
So try harder!
I donโt think testosterone impares me, not having any doesnโt bear thinking about! True, but maybe I relinquish some...
... power to test what youโd do with it, maybe you fail, maybe you have to wait six months before trying again.
How dare you agree with that!
-_-
Iโd mail you a Solero, but something tells me thatโs not a good idea.
K. Mind = Blown.
Iโz be more buoyant in salt water! Ha!
I believe you. Really.
I would.
I already do that. It can't get much worse...
Yes, that too, but I meant that you would have your kids to keep them company. Oh, do go into it, please. I want to know. Natural, in what sense?
It must be? Really! I didn't realize no other adjectives existed in the English language.
... Or it simple takes knowledge of the word "idiot" to identify it. :p
Now, where was this harshness when you told me your niece and nephew wouldn't be satisfied with money?
One whole book? o_o... Is this the length of a children's book? If not, I guess I could access my endless imagination for the remaining three-fourths of it. Ha! Yea, I'll just let you finish it.
It is not. Neutrality is neither good nor bad; it is... neutral.
It's likely because I wasn't in the mood to go back and check... And I never will be. I would not, I even apologized prior to this.
Too late! Where else would information go, silly? :p
Likely because you rarely make promises, correct? Regardless, shouldn't...
... you be the one that is proud? I didn't do anything.
... Maybe you shouldn't live with yourself at all.
There's no need to be sorry. Although, don't hate me, but I don't fully understand what you're asking... Is there really no other way you can put it? Cause, if not, I'll just have to give you an incorrect answer, an answer you'll regret receiving. :p Yes, the two friends, right? Tell me about them.
Why, how is that endearing? ... You would be the only one that tolerates it, let alone finds it endearing. B-but, maybe that's only because it hasn't really been directed at you... yet.
More? That's quite a lot as it is. I don't think it's childish though. No child's ambition is to save injured animals... that I know of. I like the countryside too, but I also see the allure of different settings. A teeny-tiny part of me wants houses in various environments, but another part of me likes having just one house because it feels... special, like a home. I'm such an indecisive...
... person. -_- I want everything and nothing, and I hate myself for it! ... I'm very decisive about that, but that's quite an easy decision.
No, but a lord of some sort, yes. :p What does your brother do? This is upsetting, you've completely given up. Not that I haven't... But, you shouldn't!
Perhaps, perhaps not.
Well, at least they're gutsy; that's an admirable trait. Bullshit? Like what? Yes, probably about average, but I was trying to make a point! The point being that you haven't held back from dating back then, even if you believed them to be unworthy. So, I'm just wondering what's changed. It's water under the bridge, but you still won't tell me what happened with her, will you? ... Of course. Yea, I'm just saying, you should probably put effort into it if you want a family one day. What if you don't find her, what then?
Only for a bit, yes.
They're not bad.
It's nothing you need to worry about. Oh, surely the old days weren't so bad either? Sure, you probably couldn't...
... get drunk back then, but you probably got to eat turkey. ^_^
Aha, okay. Yes, you should, in that case only. lol What was wrong with your nose? o_o
Okay, I will pass along that suggestion to someone that isn't across the world from her at the moment. :p I do, I guess. I took care of her when she was a baby while I was in Europe, so that might've stuck with me. By "took care of her," I mean I sang to her and put her to sleep... Not much else. :p She's such a brat now though, but I kind of like that... when I'm far away from her, that is. Although, I will never forget how she once waited for me to eat for about half an hour while all the others left to go play, etc. ^_^ And she is only 7... and I'm a slow freaking eater. If I try to eat fast, I end up eating even slower. -_-
Um, I do believe I said don't bother. Nothing will compare. Nothing. Defenseless by comparison? Defenseless! >_< I think women have done quite well so far. Too well, actually. You couldn't stay sober for...
... 9 months, you just couldn't.
Oh, but it would. Really.
Thank you, thank you! [takes a bow]
Maybe some other time, if you really want me to.
... Just don't use these memes against me if I ever insult you. :p Aw... haha Funny.
It is your fault, James, because you've told me not to get used to getting my way just about a million times now, which really shows how often you've done as I requested. You can't even see what a hypocrite you're being, can you?
Huh! Yea, that's basically what I read on it. Well, yes, my hands will get wet, that's a given. I said I had the urge to take them out of the water, not that I did... I would never! So, petting them once a week it is. ^_^
IT? I will not stop IT. I will stop anything else, but I refuse to stop IT. I feel very strongly about IT.
Happy for whom?
Good.
Wa'neva...
That's the punishment, I get a repeat of the instructions? Haha If you do, just make sure to get them tattooed on your forehead. So, you really allow...
... slapping, huh? Not gonna lie, that kind of defeats the purpose of it.
Is that such a bad thing?
Splendid!
No, I cannot, sadly.
... I'm rude. Sorry.
Uh-huh! [attempts to hold head in place]
Oh, god, no! Of course it's wrong, but I think wrong is natural; humanity isn't above it.
Oh. I... wish I had the answer for you. Why don't you know what to do? What's holding you back? If it makes you feel any better, I'm just as lost as you are. It likely doesn't, but I try.
No, you're not. Don't say that.
Show it to me! :p I would no longer have to ask you any questions. Wouldn't you like that?
So sad. -_- Yea, I suppose that's a sufficient explanation.
Maybe. Were you drunk when you said it? Let's hope so...
Don't lie, you know. But, I don't care either way. It is what it is.
It's fine. Boxing match? Ugh. Why did you go? I should let you know, classes have begun again. You know what that means... ._.
... Nothing. ^_^
No, why me? I want to be alone.
Yes, I see...
... it. Now hand it over, so I can rip it apart.
lol There's nothing you can do about it.
I know, stoopid technology! ... But, we never discussed how you feel about punches. :p
You can build one.
... Why would I do that?
I was joking. You're saying you don't have testosterone? o_o
Six months? Eh, that's fine. So, how did I do? I failed, did I not? :p
It was easy.
You would? ^_^ How nice of you.
Wait, we don't want your mind blown! Only the culprit's mind. So, calm down.
I'z, what? Anyway, it could still happen. You're distressed, I don't see you getting out of the river anytime soon, or ever.
Thank you. Really.
Evidently.
So you go nuclear, or full retard? :p
That doesnโt make sense to me. I donโt feel like sharing. I think some people naturally wanna breed, others donโt.
Oh no there are, but they arenโt appropriate in a situation youโre polarizing for the sake of cynical humor.
You canโt spot it if you ainโt got it, because science.
It was sitting there with a reserved sign on it.
Yeah, lots of room for illustrations!
Thatโs a matter of perspective, compared to bad itโs good. ^_^
I do it often, senility is quite the burden. Alright then, I apportion you the blame. Happy now?
Straight to your boots, at least thatโs where itโd manifest itself!
Correct! No, Iโm very humble donโt you know!
Agreed, unfortunately Iโm stuck with me.
Phew, thatโs a relief! :p Hmm, ok, I mean people want to know shit but they arenโt really interested in you, itโs your shit theyโre interested in/fascinated byโฆ and by shit; I mean what makes you tick, any emotional scarring, idiosyncrasy. Nomsayin? Yes. Wadda...
... ya'wanna know?
I donโt know exactly, itโs rare, itโs honest, you know where you stand, and although Iโve got a few people I chill wid; Iโm not interested in the majority of people so, although not exactly the same, I see it as similar and I like it. There might be more but Iโm a bit cluttered at the mo so things are difficult to find. Maybe, but I think itโs likely Iโd just chuckle about sullen, unsociable traits and how endearing they are. Lmao ^_^
Yeah, like pigs maybe. I know, but animals are goooood! Meh, when I was a kid there was the odd other kid who was into that, but it was almost unheard of among adults, I thought and still think as you grow up you find other, more important shit to worry about. I feel you, if I had the money Iโd have a place in the city and a place in the country, Iโd spend more time in the country with the animals and pop into the city occasionally. Itโs just impractical money wise, so I choose the country over the city. I live in the city right now...
... and itโs great, but in years to come if I get a family I wanna move out to the country. I absolutely abhor the suburbs, probably because thatโs where I grew up and I know itโs only really any good for testing the effectiveness of chemical weapons, I can only speak of the suburbs in the country though. You donโt think youโd have like a main place that would still feel like home and then another place with a house-sitter or summink? I donโt think you should hate yourself but itโs not up to me. lmao.
Actually thatโs quite appealing but I donโt know what Iโd be given a peerage for. He started off as an accountant, now heโs a BA (business architect). Thatโs because Iโm a realist, I canโt lie to myself over the hopelessness of the situation, but what I can doโฆ is indulge the whimsy we talked about. Iโm just speculating but I think youโre in a better position than I am, so thereโs a stronger case for the โshouldnโtโ in โshouldnโt give upโ if we apply it to you instead of me. I do like...
... like the word โperhapsโ.
I agree, having said that itโs not as uncommon in Europe for girls to put their feelings out there as it apparently is in the USA. Itโs not worth they type space to list it all, they just go round acting on impulse like children, like spoiled bratty children. I wasnโt resolute in the belief, obviously I saw something in them to make me take a chance; and ultimately it didnโt work out. I mentioned Iโm not in the right place at the moment but that is changing as Iโm doing stuff to sort my situation, but itโs not done yet... back then I was in a better place comparatively, at a different stage of life, so thereโs a difference. Plus I donโt meet as many people these days so itโs rarer I see someone whoโd interest me, and when I do; like Iโve said Iโm not in the right place plus thereโs usually some other reason that would get in the way. โฆNope. Iโm putting effort into other things right now, Iโm prioritizing. If I donโt then who knows, maybe Iโll be happy...
... happy just on my own, maybe Iโll jump off something high one day.
Theyโre better than that!
Furry muff (fair enough). They were pretty shit tbh, it probably would have been less taxing if I could've done, the turkey was good but usually marred by events.
I will try. lol. Various shit found my face at a vast rate of knots over the years, the cartilage went a bit cray and the septum was deviated like a mofo.
Iโm sure itโll be quite the epiphany. I just call that sort of thing hanging out, I tried putting the Nini to bed but she wouldnโt sleep coz she wanted to play instead, so I had to leave the room and it took my brother an hour to get her to sleep. lol. I hope the Nini doesnโt become a brat, but I think sheโll become quite willful and my nephew will be the placid one by comparison. Thatโs sweet, Iโm surprised one so young had the patience. I eat very slowly too, mainly because I really savor it! ^_^
True, I shanโt bother. I could stay sober until the end if it was necessary.
I...
... believe you.
[shouts encore, throws roses]
The curiosity will probably remain, so whenever.
Iโll agree not to use these memes if you agree not to insult me! How about THAT for a sweet deal? :p
First of all, Bruce, thatโs an exaggerationโฆ secondly, Iโm not convinced setting a president categorizes as hypocrisyโฆ and last but not least, K.
I wish you and the fish many happy times together.
I admire your commITment.
For all parties no?
I concur.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Yes, passive aggression ftw. And desecrate my beauty? Nevah! That depends on whether or not the slapping occurs outside of the instance where itโs allowed.
Not if it doesnโt affect me.
Marvellous.
How is that possible?
-_-
[nodding intensifies further still, possible brain damage and whiplash sustained]
Worthwhile humanity is above it.
Donโt wanna make a mistake and end up being poor, in a job I canโt stand. If anything I feel worse because I feel bad for you too, but thanks for tryin. lol.
Hey! This is a good thing!
It needs editing so it wonโt be too depressing, then Iโd have to make another copy, itโs easier to just sit and answer questionsโฆ easier for me I mean.
Devastating. I should know, Iโve got some Scottish heritage. lmao
I donโt think I was. But then if I canโt remember who can say? lol
This is all true. :p
I wasnโt planning to, but then someone dropped out and I went out of curiosity and the fact that it was now free, the result was expected and Iโm glad I didnโt pay for it. Ya, means you gonโ getchaw education mang!
K.
Even in death I am unwanted ;_; lmfao!
Nevaaaaaah!
Thereโs nothing I want to do about it.
Probably about the same as you feel about the consequencesโฆ being bear hugged then sat on.
I can?
Maybe for an experiment?
WHA? O_O :p Iโm saying Iโve got just the right amount.
Yea.
I gathered that.
Hey, Iโm a nice guy. lmao
[sips chamomile tea]
Then I float here indefinitely, quite the proverbial turd.
Youโre welcome. Really.
*suburbs in this country
Apparently.
Nuclear sounds nice, I'll go with nuclear.
Jokes don't have to make sense. Granted, this one does, but they don't have to. Fine, then I don't feel like listening. I suppose so...
I thought you had no sense of propriety. My mistake.
o_o Well, then, have I ever told you how incredibly intelligent, and not idiotic at all, you are? ^_^
Under what name? :p
Oh, no.
Our perspectives just differ, it's fine. It doesn't bother me... at all. -_-
I cannot relate. You need to stop asking me that. Seriously, it's upsetting.
... Not the same.
^_^ Oh, humble is not a word that comes to mind when I think of you. Not that I think of you...
But, you can be stuck with yourself in death instead. All problems... solved. :p
Oh, well, the way I see it is, if they were interested in my shit that would qualify as interest in me. But, instead, they're just interested in knowing superficial crap that I don't have the tolerance for 99% of the time.
Anything. Why the hell are they...
... friends with you? Just kidding.
So, that's it? You just like my similarities to you? ... You must not like me much. Maybe... Or, now that I think about it, maybe you actually want to talk less. That must be it.
Pigs? For me, maybe... when pigs fly. :p
... Three less Os in "goooood" and I just might agree with you. It seems to me that, at most, kids just care about having pets, not saving them. While there are plenty of organizations, etc. that adults have dedicated to helping animals. But, then again, this is the US; they have everything for everything. >_>
I used to live in the city in Europe. I currently live in the suburbs, and I do abhor it. >_< My dad likes it because it's safe, but it's dull as hell here. For me, that would take away from the sentiment of having just one place that is mine, one place that holds all... that is me. Which is stoopid, I know, but it's not like I'll have this problem anyway; I'll be lucky if I can even own one. :p I'm conflicted...
... about the location of my home. No, it is not up to you, thankfully.
I knew you'd like it. That's for you to decide, otherwise it's too easy. Did he finish college? See, that's what I think, that I'm a realist. Then I wonder if maybe, just maybe, this outlook I call realism is only holding me down... but, nah! ^_^ I likely am in a slightly better position right now, but it doesn't matter, I know I'm going to end up in the same place as you. But, whatever, this is about you, not me.
I do too, especially when it's followed by a "not." ^_^
Why do you say "apparently"? Maybe, I know guys definitely hit on girls in Europe more than they do here, in the suburbs at least. It's quite irritating. But, I admit, I do take slight satisfaction in being rude to them in return. Spoiled, bratty children... Harsh. Oh, you did? You sure have a funny way of showing it. I see now, very well. Right, so it's not exactly water under the bridge then, is it? I like the second option. ^_^
No, they're not.
I got it. And yes, it is. You should've had beef instead. Beef can't be marred by any event, I don't think. :p But, it's too late now.
Good enough, I suppose. Ouch! I've never had so many problems with my body. The problems I do have, I just let be. It has worked quite well so far.
They'll rejoice, I am sure of it. I guess I could call it "hanging out"... with myself, basically. :p Play? How old was she? You just aren't boring enough to put anyone to sleep. While being with me is equivalent to watching paint dry, as you already know; you'd likely rather sleep, am I right? What makes you say that? Either way, being willful isn't a bad thing... when combined with other positive traits.
Yea, and me being me, I didn't even notice until my grandma pointed it out. So, it was surprisingly sweet, until she made a smart-ass remark on my eating pace, that is. lol Maybe, but you likely don't know what slow-slow is just yet. I have no choice but to savor the food... ^_^
You did bother, but I'll let it go. I choose to believe that you couldn't. ^_^
o_o Oh, good.
This is too much. -_- [throws back the roses]
Ugh, you just... Fine, if you insist. But you better put 'em to use next time you see your friends, or it'll be a waste of my precious time.

... Not perfect, but you get the idea. Is this enough for you?
-_- I can't not insult you. That's not fair!
Must it really be pointed out that it was an exaggeration? Wasn't it obviously intentional? My point exactly: you can't see what a hypocrite you're being. And, okay.
There's no need. I know we will. โค๏ธ
IT deserves IT.
No.
Good.
I might've imitated your style, but I didn't imitate the expression. In fact, I opposed it.
Passive aggression will get you nowhere with me. Unless... Do you want another pat? You can tattoo some flowers around the text. You can't go wrong with flowers, apparently. ._. It will have to, the slap needs to impact... more than just your cheek.
What if it...
... did?
Lovely.
... I believe you misunderstood me. Take a second look at your question and my answer. Take your time, think about it, I'll wait. :p
-_-
[shakes head in disapproval]
... Not everyone is worthwhile, that's nothing new.
That's why I say you should go into medicine, especially since you still have time. It seems to me that you are starting from the beginning with these other options anyway, so why not? But, you won't listen to me. Is it that you're afraid? I'm sorry, I won't try.
Really? Then why the sad face? Besides, I'm the same way, so I know it's not.
But, I like depressing, seriously. There's something wrong with me. -_- I'm sure it is, this way you can lie and ignore. :p God, you make it sound like an interview.
Ugh, feminism! :p Hating on your own family members. -_- Who is it that convinced you the Scots are morons? Anyway, my little brother would disagree with you. He loves the movie Brave, and the characters happen to be Scottish, so... But I'm...
... indifferent, personally.
o_o You're serious? ... Never mind, it doesn't matter. I'll say you were.
I know I don't like boxing, but I thought you did. Whatever, it's nice that we agree.
Yes, at this... thing's expense, but it's no big deal, right?
Kay.
You'll... live, metaphorically speaking. Besides, the only way I might, just might, want you is if you're a servant ghost. But even then, likely not.
Fine, then why don't you rip it apart for me?
Right, because you can't. :p
I don't get it.
Sure you can. Sure.
I don't think so.
... As if you know.
Oh.
Yay! The Native Americans would be proud, I'm sure. :p
I didn't say you weren't. But, it is what all the bad guys say, just saying.
I don't care to know unless you plan on giving me some... So, I just don't care to know.
I like it.
Really?
Sorry! Iโve been doing a bunch of digitizing to fill the coffers with a bitta cashโฆ my poor little peepers are on the way outโฆ so Iโm avoiding โpooter screens as much as possible, my left eye is really blurry.
Indubitably!
There used to be a Chinese takeaway near me and the sauce they put on the chicken was nuclear; if it wasnโt I donโt know how they got it that colorโฆ I likes nuclear!
I suppose not. Ha! Such sass! You suppose correctly!
You remember everything donโt you? Anyways, contextualize it as you will and make mistakesโฆ โtis a necessary part of the learning process!
No, you havenโt!
Under the name of โThe Othersโ.
Did somebody sayโฆ โOh, noโ? https://youtu.be/hsSnv3K5Iq4
That they do. It doesnโt? Okay then, nothing to see here, move along!
Aiight den.
Y?
Well this is comforting, makes me feel better about going awol while resting my peepers, not that I was feeling guilty or thinking of you either! :p
Such a sweet girl! LMAO
I disagree, in part. I think people being interested in the doodoo can be a sinister thing, it doesnโt mean theyโre interested in you, on a genuine caring level. I feel, thatโs why I give sarcastic answers a lot when people ask me about trivial crap, it can make me look haughty sometimes but I donโt really give a crap!
Why, because they have exquisite taste in peopleโฆ obviously!
Youโre not satisfied, well I refuse to issue further compliments, the mint ainโt printing no more until quantitative easing is recommended by the central conscience! Thatโs your honest assessment, that I donโt like you much? Pfff!
Well that would be better on ma peepers! ^_^
You sure bout dat?
blog.timesunion.com/.../piggy-1.jpg
Micro pigs FTW!
Well I knew a couple of kids who wanted to be vets, but no adults who really cared much about animals. Meh.
The suburbs where I lived were probably less safe than the city, it was full of dickheads with no hopeโฆ the sort of environment where trivial bullshit (instigated by them) escalated quickly. Depends what you want from life I spose, I think life in the country is healthier anyway.
[going on eye break, will continue at the weekend.]
โฆ I think Iโd like a peerage for improving the quality of/making quality peanut butter affordable in these isles, the people couldnโt argue with that! He went to university to study multimedia, decided it was shit and switched to something to do with photography, decided that was shit, then dropped out to self-study accountancy. Well when youโre a realist you have it harder compared to optimists, who, for the most part, are ignorant where the bigger picture is concerned. How long have you thought youโre gonna end up in the same place I am? I think I saw this coming from a really young age, I was probably 10 when I looked to the future and got a sense of impending doom. I like just leaving it at perhaps, because perhaps is uncertain and so the โnotโ is there but unspoken and mysterious! ^_^
I say apparently because Iโve spoken to a couple of American girls who live here and they said that in the USA itโs really uncommon for a girl to seize the initiative and they see Europe as a bit more free-thinking when it comes to that sort of thing. Youโre rude when you get hit on? Those poor bastards! LOL. The truth can be harsh. Maybe I just neglected to show it as a flip side of the coin because I was talking about something else or making a different point during that part of the conversation, you remember stuff better than I do though, and I canโt do a lot of reading things back at the moment. Nah it is, itโs just that thereโs some stuff I donโt feel like sharing, you can understand that canโt you?
Yes, they are.
While this is true I want Turkey or Goose at Christmas, I like beef, but I donโt wanna have it just because itโs the only thing that wonโt be marred!
I guess the problem with my schnoz was self-inflicted really, you pay the price for getting stuck in! But it was...
... was possible to fix it so I went for it. Thatโs lucky I guess, letโs hope it stays that way!
If youโre sure then Iโll take that as gospel! Why do you say that, coz most of whatโs going on is lead by you? She was probably about two and a half. Me personally? I duno, depends on the color of the paint I spose! :p I say it because she gets what she wantsโฆ a lot. Plus sheโs doing whatโs natural and testing the barriers nowโฆ through being a bit naughty, so I look at it and think if sheโs doted on a lot; she might get pissy when rules and barriers are enforced. But I donโt know anything about kids anyway. I guess, combined with other positive traits; I agree.
She made a wise crack? Lmao! What did she say? :p
Yeah but you donโt know either, maybe to me; slow slow might merely be slow! ^_^
Yea yea. :p
You seem surprised.
[roses had thorns, you prick finger, ha!]
I do actually appreciate you doing that! Those pictures showed what is pretty much standard clobber here...
... Iโve got some stuff in my wardrobe, I just prefer dressing myself down I guess.
I canโt not fire back tho, thatโs not fair! But if you want to fight me with my hands tied; then fine, youโll still lose anyway! :p
Iโฆ will pretend that makes sense! โtis okay.
You mustโve petted them know, how was it?
I couldnโt agree more!
No?
Good!
It matters not to the viewing public!
Iโm starting to think a no physical contact agreement should be put in place!
Then Iโฆ would be irritated!
Enchanting!
Iโm still thinking.
>_<
[sits drooling and staring blankly]
No, but I donโt see why I shouldnโt judge โem for not being worthwhile.
I hear you, itโs just the other options are a shorter route which is more practical given my age. Iโm just uneasy about failure really.
I guess itโs making the best of a bad situation by being immune to disappointment.
Okay jeebusโฆ I donโt really have one in my pocket, so it would be easier for me not to have to create one :p I do not...
... make it sound like an interview!
Feminism indeed! It was the Scots themselves! :p I havenโt seen the movie, but I would guess life does not imitate art in this situation! lol
I was joking, but I guess youโve made up your mind so, whatever, mang!
I donโt follow it massively but if thereโs a good title fight or something Iโll watch it, I wouldnโt pay for it though, Iโd stream it online if it was easy to find. What we saw was a mismatch though, it was stoopid!
If itโs something you need to do then patience is a virtue sometimes, how much of an expense is it on the thing?
Yay.
I cannot be servile! So no haunting for me. Sniff.
Itโsโฆ worth money. :p
Thatโs what YOU think!
Neither do I now.
Fair enough.
Well I seem alright.
Donโt worry about it, you have the quality to bounce back! :p
LOL!
This is undeniably true.
I could give you some I suppose, I mean, do you want some?
I aim to please!
Reely!
I go blind now. ._.
Uh-huh. For two weeks.
Maybe you should've asked them. It'd be worth a shot... cause "nuclear."
You suppose correctly. Nope, no sass.
Surprisingly, and sadly, no. Just certain things...
And I won't!
Typical.
You watch Family Guy?
Nu-uh. I refuse!
Thank you.
I don't know anymore.
Guilty? You have no obligation to me. And if you don't want to talk, then don't. You don't need me to tell you that...
I am the sweetest of all sweets. ^_^
Well, you think wrong. Kidding, I partly agree, but I don't want to talk about it at the moment. ... Ugh, okay, fine. I didn't take that into account, as most people are hardly sinister.
It's different for me. I could not care less if people are genuine or not; instead, it's about my lack of desire to engage in conversation. Although, I'm still polite... always. -_- I just don't say much.
Oh, obviously? I must be oblivious.
What is there to be satisfied about? Okay, you do that. Yes, don't make...
... fun! Are you saying I'm a bad assessor? ... Are we not quite different, other than some mutually held views?
Okay, if you think so... Was "peepers" your word of the day? Seriously!
Surely... sure. I never liked pigs much, although I wouldn't admit to it when I was young, even to myself. Now I can, even if a pig asked me itself. ^_^
Oh, well, I still think it's fine, and nice, that you do.
Yea, I guess I meant the part of the suburbs where we currently live is pretty safe, cause we used to live in a part that wasn't. Dickheads with no hope? Were you one of them? :p Right, just what I needed - more confliction. What do I want from life? Uh, I'd rather not think about it. Health is important...
I could, but I'm certain the people of the isles would argue for it. Nice idea! Why did he choose to self-study? I don't know, but it seems to work well for them. You don't ever question whether you may be being pessimistic instead? Or that, maybe if you were...
... optimistic, things might be better? ... Even if only in your mind. I guess ever since I became how I am, so for about 8 years now. So, to you the doom was inevitable?
I still like "perhaps not"!
I agree, although I think it applies to guys as well. Or... those spoiled, bratty, childish bastards, and poor me. I tried, but, sadly, I doubt they were phased. If they were the type, they wouldn't be so quick to hit on anything with a pulse to begin with. >_>
It can. Yea, maybe. I wonder, did the girls know that you didn't see a "future" with them? ... Just curious. Not really, not when you say you're over it. But, okay, whatever.
Nu-huh!
I am of no help then, just as I like it.
Good! You can hope; I don't want to.
I say that because she was a baby, barely a 1 year old. The color of the paint? That's a lie. Well, I suppose I could share with you how my parents managed to raise such a "good girl." Never mind, no. Don't worry, she'll likely be fine. It's probably...
... easier to keep us, girls, in check anyway. -_-
She said I'd never eat another meal again, implying that I'd be eating forever or something. I can't exactly remember though.
Maybe, we will never know.
Yea.
Maybe I was, I don't know anymore.
Thank you for that! All the more reason to hate you. [kisses it to make it better] ๐
Um, there's not much else that guys can wear, unless you want to go against gender norms and start wearing heels and skirts...
Watch it, mister! I am this (approximately 1 cm) close to tying up your legs too.
It does!
... It was the same as the first time I told you about it. Did you forget?
This cannot be good.
Yes... I think.
Very!
Whatever.
Just fine by me.
... Can't really recall this either. But I do like you irritated, so I will personally make sure to go back and look at what causes this irritation in the near future. ^_^
... ... Nauseating.
I'll explain... sometime. That is a lie, but this is...
... not. ^_^
Good boy.
You can, and should.
Still, if you want it, it's worth it. Same, I avoid failure at any cost because I so deeply fear it. After all, you can't fail if you don't try, right?
But, are you really immune? Like, really.
So, you lied? You can't be trusted. Oh, you don't sit down and answer questions in an interview? I've been doing it all wrong. >_<
No, but art imitates life.
I have, yes.
I don't see the appeal. So, I wouldn't searching for it either, let alone watch it.
I don't know, I guess that depends on us.
^_^
No, no! There's plenty of other people to haunt, people that are deserving of it. And if not people, there's animals!
Oh. -__-
It's what I said...
I'm sorry.
Yup.
That's questionable. Just joking.
I can barely bounce forward.
Right, but maybe nice guys say it too. ^_^
How will you do that?
Hahaha
^_^
Yay, we're both blind now!
u are old enough to buy yer own shoes... no?
I did buy my own shoes, but my mom bought the same ones for my cousin.
