Yeah, I think I'm going to go curl up in a corner and die now.

Yeah, stick shift is really not a whole lot of fun unless you know what your doing (which I apparently ReeeHeHeHeally don't)
You are not alone my friend

I'm resisting a strong urge to go "squee" at this point.

Joy: Being here to assist someone on how to drive a stick shift car better!

Oh hush, dont go die in a corner, you will get it!!! Stick is all touch and feel. I was pretty bad at first. Im sure someone is teaching you how to do it their way, but the way I learned to do it is to get a feel for where the clutch engages, and remember the position. Being a mechanic, I drive many different cars with different feeling clutches all the time. I go about learning where the clutch engages like this: (be careful, I dont want to be held accountable for accidents!) hold the brake down as hard as possible, dont even touch the gas, and super slowly release the clutch. Dont release the clutch all the way, and keep holding the brake. Listen to the engine, when you start to hear the engine idle drop and slow down , (keep your foot on the clutch in that spot and slightly before it so it doesn't stall.) that is where your clutch starts to engage. (Dont do this for a long time, you'll wear the clutch disc. Its like rubbing your hand over a desk, it gets hot fast from the friction and wears the clutch like a brake pad.) When you find that spot, you now have a feel of how far you have of free play in the clutch untill you can actually release the brake on a hill so you dont roll backwards. So, when you are on a hill, simply go onto the hill, and remember where the clutch engages. keep your foot on the brake, and start raising the clutch. When you start to feel where the clutch engages, release the brake there, and press the gass lightly. Once your car starts moving, continue to slowly release the clutch untill you are completely off the tension. (Relax! if you will be like all jerky and get nervous. dont be, your car will roll back a little. If you stall, just push the brake and clutch and try again. Who cares if they guy behind you gets mad and honks.) You shouldn't want to have the engine over 1500 to 2000 RPMs though, any more really isnt needed, and will wear the clutch. I would reccomend feeling how hard you need to puch the gas to reach that rpm range.

Anyways, good luck man, and I hope I helped you out!

And back on topic now... AHEM... *cough*

Joy: Got the first Dragonforce album again, after I lost the first one. It sounds incredible. Even better then I remember. <3

Joy: I had a nice day out with friends today. Getting able to hang out outside is something I'm still working on, and trying to do more of. It's going quite well though! I've been invited out for tomorrow as well.

Indeed.

Divorce must be very hard on the son/daughter.

Awww that's so sad. My mom and dad are divorced too, so let me know how it turns out...

Sorrow: One of my friends riverdanced off from his job after working there for 2 years. Apparently he took it pretty harshly and got liquored up afterwards.

Sorrow: I just remembered my best friend from 1st grade... aaand the fact that I scared her away from my school to some other state. I was a kid then, so it didn't bother me at all, but now its kinda depressing whenever I think of it.

Joy: We've decided my friends and I are going to make a video game starting in the summer and (hopefully) finish it in the winter.

Joy: My MTG circle has started to point me in the direction of more professional gaming stores for drafting.

Sorrow: This has got to be the shortest day in my entire life. I don't even know what happened, now I am eating at 10 P.M. since I lost track of time. I have been somewhat bored, so shouldn't that mean time should last longer. I am a bit worried by this.

The Game · Post by **The Game** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:33 pm

I'm so sorry Sleet. Divorce is tough...

Sorrow: My two best friends were whispering about me and laughing today. When another friend suggest that they were thinking of something to get me for my birthday, I realized they wouldn't do that because they're too busy thinking of themselves.

Sorrow: I need some less selfish friends.

So, i forgot to post this when i initially found out, and many of you already know but:

Sorrow: My Dad is going to lose his fight with cancer and has an undetermined amount of time left to live....

lucky, I only get one week.

and, again, I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through, Bino. Sorry.

I'm so sorry Bino, as Brent said, I also can't imagine what you're going through

Joy: I feel it'll be good day for doing some drawings.

Sorrow: I have to learn for Monday tests, cause during the weekend I won't have much time for it.

2nd sorrow: Probably my mom needs to stay longer at hospital than it was planned

I know how that is. No matter what you've planned, it seems you always run out of time. Even when you have free weekend. You just have to try regain control on it. It won't be easy, but you must keep trying.

If they're selfish, they don't deserve to be your friends. I'm sure you will find someone who will treat you way better than them.

Bino wrote:Sorrow: My Dad is going to lose his fight with cancer and has an undetermined amount of time left to live....

I'm really sorry to hear that. Now he needs your support more than ever. And don't loose hope, despite the circumstances.

Sorrow

For more than two weeks, I have misfortune. Whatever I try to do, I fail. Even when I prepare like two days for an exam, I fail it.
But I still hope there will be a twist and everything will return to normal...

FlintTheSquirrel · Post by **FlintTheSquirrel** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 6:22 pm

Sorrow: Looking back, it is a shame that all the old and fun forum games I spent days on are all getting locked. But due to circumstances that made me quit doing it in the first place. I guess it has good reason. We need longer and more effort put in posts in that section. ^^;

Karl · Post by **Karl** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 3:56 pm

Sorrow

Misfortune is still attached to my body. And I can't work properly. Each time I try to do something, someone comes in and ruins my mood. After some hours, I try to return to my work and someone else comes in and ruins my mood again. How am I supposed to change anything for the better if this keeps happening? It's like... a neverending circle.
Will this finally stop?

Joy: I had a fantastic weekend with my best friend.
Sorrow: Her dog chewed a hole through my favorite pair of shoes. ._.

Joy: It's a four day school week.
Sorrow: I'm going camping (AGAIN) this weekend. >_>
Joy: I'll have high speed internet though, and maybe I'll get to go to the carnival?

Joy: Next week is a four-day week.

Sorrow: I'm (probably unnecessarily) freaking out about my pre-calculus test tomorrow. XD
Sorrow: I can't remember the last time I got an entire night's sleep. XD

It seems to balance out though, so it's all good! =D
