Some of those guys are trolls, so maybe you were trolling trolls.

I finished an epic civ v game as Poland about a week ago which lasted a couple weeks.. and fired up the game for the first time since then just now.. went with "random civ" because I wanted to try something new, game starts, I'm .. Poland.

So I quit the game and now I'm installing a tower defense game

Is this a tower game in which CFC's grudges could be… discharged, say, if we all hypothetically joined?

When a cute guy says he wants to see me again soon that's a good sign right? Right?

... some days I delude myself that I'm actually attractive and the reason people don't talk to me is because they think I'm out of their league.

...

Sigh. *drinks*

Don't drown your sorrows. You don't sound like an ugly person.

I've largely given up hope that things will get better for me. And I can probably list on one or two hands all the things that I still enjoy.

I still have my principles, at least, but that's scant comfort.

One or two hands? So there's at least five things you enjoy? Go out and do them.

It does match well Bulgaria, as well, I suppose. Misty, rainy and windy. Miserable. Eh.

But Ohio can't blame Communism for it. Ohio's just… Ohio. Hey, Commodore! Instead of having this existential crisis about joining the French Foreign Legion or the Emperor's Sardaukar or whatever, just move out of Ohio!

I just spent the past five hours or so trolling conspiracy theorist nutjobs on YouTube. I now feel like I'm wasting my life.

Then go back to trolling conspiracy theorist nutjobs.

Some of those guys are trolls, so maybe you were trolling trolls.

Hmmm… recursive.

Takhisis you don't have to respond to everything

 

[Takhisis]

Actually I do, I haven't posted in days and I have to keep up! I'll have to crawl back into the study-bunker until next week after tonight, again.

Due to my circumstances, I'm unable to do any of them except maybe archery and video games any time soon. Archery's a maybe. Video games are pretty much all I have left. Which is sad, really.

Rant: 25 page international relations thesis is now 41 pages. Goddamn does it feel unwiedly! I've never had to edit or deal with something of this length before! I continually underestimate the time I need to edit it....

Rave: Holy damn I wrote a 41 page thesis! And on interesting stuff too!

I'm heavily depending/reeaallly hoping on my job site having a delayed start tomorrow

it's like many years ago hoping school would get cancelled

Something similar happened to me once, when I had a brief flirtation with nihilism. I wouldn't say it was as bad as depression, but I certainly had less energy than normal and was more moody. I got over that pretty quickly when I realized that just because my brain came to that conclusion doesn't mean my emotions had. In short there was a dissonance between my emotional logic and my rational logic. Not sure if I'm explaining it right.

That's pretty clear, and that's definitely an example of what I mean.

Related, 1.5 years ago I had just bottomed out emotionally, but I wasn't unhappy, and I was really pleased with how chill and, while utterly unmotivated to do anything and lost enjoyment in most activities, clear minded and focused I could be. I thought I had become a much better person, and I scoffed at what I did differently from before.

But I decided since I wasn't earning my own keep I would do whatever it took to do that, and I found I had to swing the pendulum hard the other way. I'm a lot closer to my 2011 self.

Now, I look back and I take a very different view on a lot and see it as largely bad.

The honest truth is that from both vantage points I find the other bad.

My current mood state will frequently justify its continued existence over other mood states. The one thing that both macro-mood states agree with: measure quality by results. Am I being a good friend? A good boyfriend/date? Am I learning? Am I passing classes? Am I earning money? Am I able to make strangers feel good? How often do I get sick?

Unfortunately I haven't found a single place or routine to maximize them all yet.

Argh. This is frustrating. Our Informatics teacher is too punctual. I would have understood if it was something on C#, but its about the text in the bloody Console.Write! Grr.

First $53 I pay to go to Australia. My wallet hurts.

 

[bhavv]

$53 isnt that much, or is the total cost more?

 

[Tee Kay]

He said first $53

First $53 I pay to go to Australia. My wallet hurts.

It's gonna hurt a lot more sadly.

 

[Camikaze]

I assume that was your first half-day's rent?

 

[Tee Kay]

That's Sydney. He's going to Melbourne in which case it's 1/3 day's rent.

 

[Camikaze]

Nah, Sydney's worse than Melbourne ... wait, that's not how this argument's meant to work.

No, it is the non-refundable fee to apply for on-campus accommodation.

I applied for the cheapest college, costing about $28.5 daily.

 

[JohannaK]

I am going to need accommodation for the first week though, since they tell you to be there by 13th Feb but apparently I cant move in until 20th Feb. Weird, isnt it?

 

[Tee Kay]

Holy NinjaCow, Masada wasn't being kidding about Darwin being expensive as balls.

Send me a PM, if you can't get a place I might be able to talk some bronies into letting you crash on a couch for a bit.

I would have offered you my place, if I had one.

 

[Phrossack]

I feel the need. The need for mead.

Tragically, there's none to be found in this area.
