[Takhisis]

Try disallowing phonetic typing?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I arrived in Iraq today and practically everything is closed for the holiday and the only taxis I could find for the city I want to go to (Erbil) are too expensive. Practically the only people on the street are young boys, I mean practically no one over 15, it's weird. Lots of them are running around with toy guns. I hope I can find something cheaper tomorrow. It's going to be a boring evening. Just got to the netcafe to check my e-mail and kill some time.

I finally found a reasonable hotel. It's a nasty place with ashtrays with butts next to the beds and just all around dingy looking but I don't really care, I'm spending a few days in this country and then back to my semi-comfortable concrete box apartment in Turkey. The staff is very nice anyway so kind of makes up for it. I just hope I can find some reasonable transport to Erbil tomorrow.

I know it's pretty lame that I'm sitting in a netcafe on civfanatics but there is just nothing to do outside. Practically everything is closed for Eid.

In Alg 2 hnrs today we had a quiz. I tried my hardest, but the guy next to me had a different answer for every single question except for the two easiest ones. One of us is going to fail.

 

[Verarde]

Ugh...I am not sure what I am feeling right now.

So, what happened was this:
One and a half years ago, I made quick friends with this girl. Long story short, I like her a lot. Back then, I found out she was diabetic and it freaked me out as I had never known anyone before who had that. Like a jerk, I quietly moved apart from her. About half a year ago, I realized how stupid I had been to let her go by, and we've resumed our friendship.

Now I told her (via email) the above story. Now she hasn't contacted me at all the past few days. She's been on facebook, but always conveniently goes offline the moment I see her. For now, I'm not saying anything, and letting her make the next move.

Anyway, I feel really stupid and am not sure whether I should have kept this to myself, and told her at some other point in time. Based on the last conversation I had with her, I should be seeing her tomorrow. So I will report on what happens.

One more rant: Dad has made bedtime 9:30, because of school starting. Preposterous!

 

[Takhisis]

That's waking-up time.

 

[Verarde]

Exactly!

 

[ZeletDude]

Uuuuuuugh! I gave the girl I liked my phone number and told her that we should keep in touch and she should text me sometime, but she hasn't called or texted me... I feel completely awkward for asking her now.. ;P

Probably just your mind playing tricks on you. Have you texted her? Many people don't reply to a text if they see it many hours after you sent it. I guess they feel funny for not answering right away. Otherwise she probably just forgot she said that so stealthily bring it up in your next conversation.

Lol well, I don't know her number as I only gave her mine..

One more rant: Dad has made bedtime 9:30, because of school starting. Preposterous!

"Walk into store 9:30 PM" -> "Say good morning to clerk!"

This kind of happened to me in my last year in high school. My father would say "Kennigit, go to bed!" at ~9:45 at night. He then went to bed himself, so I could do anything and just went to bed at a reasonable time. The trick is that your parents will get older and get too tired to try to enforce ridiculous bedtimes .

anyways rant: happened last night moreso, but after a relatively fun night--one spent with friends doing stuff for once--I get reminded of everything I dislike about my life right before going to bed all at the same time.

basically, I really believe if you took the me from 3-5 years ago and exchanged him with the me now everything would be the exact same, except for small differences. Not that it's necessarily too bad, just sad to think I haven't really done anything different for the past 4 or so years. It's just the same stuff, day in and day out. I hardly ever meet any new people, nor do I have really good ways to socialise.

Really? My parents stopped caring around middle school.

 

[W|M]

Yeah, my parents didn't enforce it at all from the last year of middle school.

 

[ZeletDude]

My parents usually tell me to "get off the computer" at a certain time (usually 11) but I've got a laptop and wifi and they go to sleep around 10 or 11 so I can usually stay up as late as I wish

My parents usually tell me to "get off the computer" at xxx time but I've got a laptop and wifi and they go to sleep around 10 or 11 so I can usually stay up as late as I wish

You may want to change the term you use for time. It gives your post an unfortunate connotation.

 

[ZeletDude]

I changed it but tbh I didn't even recognize that until you had mentioned it

 

[Kennigit]

Well, my parents didn't actually care either. Just last 2 years of high school I should say my dad really got "older" in the sense that he had a fairly stressful job and wanted to go to bed really early himself every night, and said I "made too much noise". So he would always tell me to go to bed as he went to bed.

I just ignored it lol, and he didn't really care either.

just that if verarde's dad wants him to go to a really early bedtime, often parents won't actually try to enforce it at all but merely "suggest" it.

Can I say I also share this sentiment.

We're friends right?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

My mom is a bit crazy and would flip out if I didn't go to bed at 9 straight.... When I was 17.

 

[salty mud]

Even building my own computer seems to be very expensive.
