Sorrow:Gonna have to stay up late to finish my paper

Sorrow:Messed up my hand throwing things around, totally worth it though

Joy: I have a temporary job that I can probably start tomorrow and work until the other place gets back to me.
Sorrow: Nobody to enjoy valentines day with this year due to breaking up right before I moved.

Seth: I wish I could have helped out with that. xD

And that was only about half way through the "festivities"

Pretty crazy night, afterwards I enjoyed my last cigarette and got dinner, way better than any of that sappy valentines day carp.

I dont have anyone to enjoy it with either. But being single doesn't bug me the other 364 days of the year, why would it be different tonight?

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:50 pm

Glad to hear you quit that habit! and yeah, I find myself to be a more functional person being single but I'm reminded that I lost a good relationship with someone not to long ago.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Tue Feb 14, 2012 10:56 pm

Yeah that's pretty rough. Oh well, at least you can enjoy the little perks that come with being single.

Sorrow: Apparently the counseling center has forgotten about me, I haven't got a response from them since I emailed them last friday.

Joy: I have friends I can talk to and a few I can rely on.
Sorrow: My female friend I was cuddling got a boyfriend so I no longer have anyone to cuddle with.

Joy: I'm still friends with her.
Sorrow: I want to go back to being cuddle friends with her.

Joy: I had prepared for this moment since she said she was interested in this guy.
Sorrow: Losing her as a cuddle friend hurt more than I thought it would. :/

That reminds me of the time I had an old dishwasher that didn't work and I brought it out to my I guess second cousin Ben's place, turns out that against two guys with rifles a dishwasher doesn't stand a chance, so if we are ever invaded by dishwashers I know I'll be safe.

Joy: last night got all three of the first Fallout games and I am now in the process of beating Fallout 1.

You can snuggle with someone without it being romantic. I'm sorry if she disagrees, but my friends don't revoke those privileges when they're dating someone. I didn't even become friends with one of them till she'd been dating some guy for more than a year.

She doesn't share our views in this case. :/

Ohh, you live in the North Cakalakies as well?
Joy: It is Thursday so now I got no school till Monday.

Sorrow:THere's no way I'm gonna get my homeworl done this weekend

Joy:I have better things to do than homework

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Thu Feb 16, 2012 11:36 pm

Sorrow: What a bad idea to take this job! I have never been this overwhelmed in my life.

Joy: My other job should be calling me in any year now. Hopefully this one.
Sorrow: Going to be here a lot longer than I expected, probably the whole summer.
Sorrow: Sick again.

Sorrow: I keep having so many dreams, Where nice things happen, but I think to myself "This must be a dream, isn't it?" from within the dream. It happened twice. The second time, I thought It was real, But later I realized it wasn't. That sucks.

Sorrow: I feel as if my relationship with best friend is also slowly dying down. We're not communicating as much. It appears to happen with everyone.. They all just have to better things to do, and end up leaving me, disappearing. Recently, It's been happening even more over shorter time-frames. With about 3 people I knew. Fortunately.. He tells me otherwise, and so do some perceptions from myself and some reasoning. But my mind doesn't agree with itself. Oh well. I also feel a bit sad, Because even though he's been gone for a short period of time so far, it feels much longer.

Sorrow: Started working on a drawing(digital recreation from paper) last night, Worked on it earlier today too, But now that I look at it, I don't like it anymore. It just looks bad. This completely kills motivation to continue working on it. It really feels like quite a failure..

I usually include a joy to keep this even, But I can't think of one at the moment.

I almost had a lucid dream from that once. It's a bit creepy being conscious of dreaming while it's actually happening, especially if it's a nightmare.

He's probably just busy or has a lot on his mind. I wouldn't worry.

I tend to lucid dream a lot. I'm often aware that it's a dream. I found it to be fun, But often I can't spawn in things, because I feel that if I do, I will break the dream.

Well, No, I've directly consulted him on this, and it's simply, we don't have anything to talk about.

Sorrow:Staying up late to do laundry/math homework
Joy:I need to get these done, so it'll be a huge load off my mind.
Joy:My Tyler the Creator shirt is coming in Monday!!!!!!!!

Oh boy oh boy. That's a whole lot lead you could've exposed yourself to. I hope you covered up and stayed away while unprotected. These things can lead to various horrible forms of chronic and maybe acute poisoning. O_o

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 1:38 am

I'm usually a lot more conscious of dreams if I'm anxious and dreaming. Sometime I can prevent things from happening in a nightmare and become aware of time and perception. After that happens I for some reason regain vivid memory of previous dreams and nightmares when I wake up.

Try some small-talk then, or if you know him IRL try and hang out.

A lot of folks who talk with me off the forums say I'm not communicative enough. I'm cool with silence and don't need constant conversation to keep me interested in someone. Maybe your friend is the same way?

Hmm. I have gone through this myself (a number of times, in fact), and it is always rather troubling. There is little that you can do; you can not force your friend's attentions, but nor would it be fair on you to be the only one putting the effort in to your friendship.
The only advice I can give you is try to spend time with your friend doing stuff you both enjoy, it doesn't truly matter what is it as long as you are both there and you are both having a good time. If your friend continues to show no interest in you then there is nothing more to be done, to chase would cause problems.
I could say, just as so many have said to me, "Try to make new friends" but if you are anything like me then that will be a difficult task. After all, there are just some people we can not get along with, and others may want different things in a friendship than what you might want.

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 1:21 pm

Joy:Played Fifa with my roommate instead of doing math homework last night

Joy:Forgot to set my alarm, still woke up in time to get to class (albeit without showering or changing out of my pajama pants)

Joy:I've been really on the ball with my various obligations for pledging at the frat

sorrow:Massively behind on my reading for my classes, probably won't catch up this weekend because I work

Joy:I'm gonna have the dorm to myself over spring break, Dorm parties galore!!!!!

Joy:Parents are going to be awesome and take me shopping for some nice clothes, which in retrospect I probably should have owned before coming to college but whatever.

Joy: My neighbor was kind enough to give me some shoes that no longer fit her son. I only had one pair of shoes before.
Sorrow: I tried working this side job to get myself out of debt and just ended up spending more money.
Joy: If I stay here over the summer I may be able to bring my one of my good friends down here to stay with me! :3

Joy: Nostalgia'd so hard.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:11 am

I used to just watch that. Man, I had so much free time as a kit.

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:13 am

Everytime I encountered it; I always wished it was a game, or tried to predict where it was going to turn next.

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 8:36 am

I had a game kinda similar to it as a kid, but I do remember that. I spent a long time watching it, and eventually learned that if you just hug the left or right side, you will always eventually reach the end.

That and the Pipes were my favorite.

Sorrow: Family is looking into getting me to work at Dominos. It is not that I do not want to work, nor that I do not want to work at Dominos, it is just that I am worried about a job in the first place. I have never had one, and am quite shy, and I am very prone to mess up.

Don't worry about it, the experience will help you loads in life. I'd consider myself really lucky if I could get a job at all anyway. Oh, and the extra money won't hurt~

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 3:10 pm

I agree completely with Fortyfourrzeronmten. You're at an age where it's important to start working and making money for yourself. Not to mention you'll learn valuable life skills.

Also Domino's is delicious so you'll be helping bring deliciousness to people all over the place! ^_^
