Oh, my goodness, Tope really does post too short messages. No us and No urs are just too short and don't contribute any worthwhile discussion don't you think yes I think so I cant believe anyone would do that but oh I get it it was a joke hahahaha man it's a beautiful sunset outside wouldn't you agree full of splendor and beautiful colors reflecting on every house and every bit of grass and inbetween tree branches and leaves and sending patches of fiery red and orange leaping out at me across the sky until it dissolves into a dark blue oh it's so gorgeous I feel so priveleged to be able to look upon this sunset and so happy to be alive and here amongst all of you life is so great I love you all mm this caprisun beverage is delicious I love fruity beverages come to think of it the sunset outside far across the world where the sun is disappearing is kind of sending out colors reminiscient of a blueberry orange drink of some sort perhaps a smoothie or something yes I agree it must be a smoothie sort of color or pastel sort of colors, the way it reflects on surfaces like signs and the road and the sides of houses and in windows and metal and cars is marvelous to behold, such as how its great to look at headlights at night leaving a golden light undrneath the car and blaring forward like something out of a Spielberg movie man nights around here are beautiful with clear dark blue skies and vivid sunsets I love it an adore it man I'm glad to be able to see this but why oh why can't cameras capture it perfectly why do they need extra light sources to pick it up well nighttime is so beautiful so why don't I have a camera I could capture it perfectly with oh it breaks the heart I'll never quite get over it but hey I've managed to capture some beautiful photos in my time too from nighttime from some lit places so it's not a complete loss I gues like this photo check it out you'll really love it it's from around my area and like something out of a John Carpenter movie or something or so by JJ Abrams
I love how you can see the vivid purple sunset off behind the dark silhouettes of the trees and how the greenish light from the lightpost reflects off of each and every individual leaf on the tree and how beautiful it really is and how dark and spooky in a way it is too especially on the truck and how it's it by the lightpost and such but yeah this is a beautiful photo and really shows how good looking nighttime is and I'm sure many of you here love nighttime the way I do don'tcha don't cha huh huh uh huh huh uh huh uh uhuh yep I knew it you guys love nighttime too I love nighttime mm this caprisun is great and fruity aw man the sunset is gone now now its really dark out and kind of spooky but oh well I'm inside where its warm and safe and man am I glad to have loving parents and a nice warm cozy house with a bed and my favorite games and movies I'm really lucky and priveleged to have this stuff and you guys and such as friends and comrades and I consider you all really lucky too especially to be a fan of this company and even though they've had missteps I'm sure they'll turn it around with the walkign dead which is a masterpiece in comics and on television but anyway I'm gonna go and do dishes now well that's it yadaduauauayayayyadyadyadyadyadyaydayda.

I interrupt the "nou" flamewar to present the knowledge that I am back in my tiny apartment with amazing internet access instead of my parents house with the awesome computer and lousy internet access. I'm still not sure which is better...

They are both excellont in their own unique ways and you should be happy for your special butterfly snowflake individuality.
Woo, nothing like having to let a friend share your bed for the night, except she goes to bed at 10 pm (so she can get up at 5 for work), spending the evening kicked out of your room, going to bed at 2:30, being unable to sleep, waking up exhausted at 10 am, then muddling through the day to 2 am.
You've got to make it happen. Get out there, take the bull by the horns, and just make a fun night happen!
I totally would.
But I think I'm mildly Agraphobic.
Lets put it this way.
I'm 20 years old and despite all my efforts I'm still unable to look most strangers in the eyes.
I get very unsettled when a large group of young people are nearby.
(Or if I am in a place I am unfamiliar with. I remember being a bit scared when I went to London by myself)
The odd thing is that I can interact with people fine when I'm in a classroom,(though I still am pretty shy), or when I am out with a friend (I guess they act as an anchor), but as soon as I am out there, if I am alone I begin to act in a cold, efficient manner.
I mean, I've worked in the same job for 4 years! And I don't really know any of the people there.
God I am so messed up.
I've been to psychiatrists over this, and none of them have really been able to help me.
I just can't seem to let my guard down easily.
Its all a mix of low self-confidence and years of bullying, (I was bullied A LOT as a kid, in all the schools I went to and its messed with my head).
And don't get me started on relationships.
I'm almost actually afraid of women.
When I say almost, its that I can make friends with women, but I can't bring myself to ever say anything to the ones I'm attracted to.
I think it goes back to this fear of embarrassement I have.
I always seem to avoid any situation where I could embarrass myself.
Thats definately the effects of bullying coming into play.
But I was pretty bashful anyway. I remember there was this girl I fancied at secondary school, and i think she knew, and she used to tease me and chase me around a lot, but because of that and the bullying, I never knew if she was being serious when she asked me out, or if she was trying to play a cruel joke.
That still must linger in my brain somewhat.
God I am messed up!
EDIT: Plus, oddly enough, all the friends I do have aren't local, which sucks.
(We basically have to plan entire days to meet up, and its so much harder these days since, one of my best friends studies in London, and the other works full-time now, (before that he was at Nottingham))

You're 20 so let me tell you the lessons I learned between 20 and 28 that served me well.
1.) At 22 I was with the same girl I'd been with on and off for six years and had barely dated outside that. When we split I honestly didn't think I'd date again.
2.) Two years later I'd had about a girlfriend a year. I was generally, entirely insecure. I didn't have confidence in myself, my future or with women.
3.) I had trouble maintaining friendships because I felt that small slights were intentional attempts to hurt me.
At the core of all my problems was a lack of self confidence stemming from a lack of self worth. So I had to buy into myself. I had to believe before everything else that I was the best thing walking on two legs. Even if I intellectually knew that there are tons of people out there with similar qualities to offer, I couldn't go into a situation thinking I was just average. I bought into what I did, who I was and why I felt good about myself.
Socializing took a few years, but it had to start somewhere. Small things, attempts to break my barriers a little bit at a time. In behavioral therapy we attempt to desensitize people. For instance, you say you have trouble at work but not at school. That means you're not incapable, but you have trouble bridging those two environments. It's requiring the same thing of you, confidence and interaction, but you have to transition that out of the class and into more regular settings.
That happens one step at a time, a piece by piece, little by little. It may take years. But you want to be somewhere better in ten years than you are now. But you have to start with a belief in yourself and what you do well. If that's worth something, you take it out into the world and you sell it. You sell it to yourself first and then you sell it to others. And hard as it may be you break down your barriers, because you can either live in fear or you can work, inch by inch, to overcome it.

Me too. It's a thing of beauty, no? OH! A WINK! That means you hate it, right?

i dunno i just don't feel like sayin a lot
That is a remarkable story, Mikey. I mean, like, Stephen King in the 70s remarkable.
I did this to my parents today for at least an hour and a half, but really really fast.
What's this!? A doodo post that isn't talking about his sex urges or some overblown philosophical statement!?
nop
Bizarre! Something must have really irked him to do that! But it would have to be pretty insufferable to cause that!
Why so bloody short!?
Seriously. It's a little annoying. It's shorter than my posts, for Jebus' sake. I mean, come on now. Why you do this, Topes?
iunno
Couldn't you just, like, buy them plastic surgery? No, wait... Then they'd be uglier...
THERE'S THAT SHIT AGAIN!/screen
Typically, that's what is meant. Why not, like self help classes or team building exercises or something? Must you resort to violence?
It's all I know.
Make the best of your education. Trust me on this one.
That's sad and strangely inspiring.
SADSPIRING
I would, but my education always gets the better of ME.
They are both excellont in their own unique ways and you should be happy for your special butterfly snowflake individuality.
Yes. Welcome, brother.
It's ridiculous. And they're all just costumes. I mean, really... look at this:
Makes all the folks who complained about MK9 charging five bucks a character look a little silly (sillier) in comparison.
You've got to make it happen. Get out there, take the bull by the horns, and just make a fun night happen!
Oh wow, didn't even see that package deal. FAR more reasonable. Still DLC hell, but I've seen worse.
God, I'm exhausted.
