an enviable situation
red chamber dream
i don't really think so

it just means you aren't paying attention :P
Quote from DJGrenola:
there was an old lady in the UK who gave loads of money to charities even though she didn't have all that much, and charities are such dicks when it comes to demanding more money, they're the ultimate guilt trippers if you've given money to them before

and eventually this old girl killed herself because she couldn't handle the constant visits and phone calls and guilt inducing propaganda from charities

and now charities are quite a bit less keen on hassling people, she made a political statement by killing herself even though she wasn't intending to do that


Poor lady  :(
red chamber dream
it does suck for her, but she could have also donated anonymously
she could, but it's not exactly the sort of situation you see coming, good causes acting like loan sharks
red chamber dream
oh totally

i haven't even given anything to my school and they constantly ask me for money anyway
red chamber dream
and it's a public fucking school
it is an interesting phenomenon I guess, the idea that you can get away with basically anything if "it's for a good cause!"

it's a wonderful defence
some of the sentimentalism in literature from charities makes spielberg look like a robot, it seriously boils my blood sometimes
red chamber dream
it's why you have to use those charity analysis sites, see which ones are the good ones
I hate being manipulated and as soon as I realise someone is doing it I turn into a fucking stubborn little prick
red chamber dream
haha

gotta pick your battles, sometimes i think you just have to go with it
yeah it's a fault in my case, I'm borderline pathological about it

I remember one calling my house when I in 6th grade or so. He mixed up my dad with someone who shared his name but lived in Chicago; apparently the dude had a pretty massive debt over his head. Either way, he was ridiculously rude and condescending, and my dad ended up cussing up a storm on him and threatened to file a complaint to his employer for talking to me like he did.
I like turtles.

Arguably still an enviable situation.

Meh, I've payed attention. Just at the moment I don't have the want to care enough. It's all negative and it'll just bring you down, and I do plenty of that already to myself.
Club 27 Goals
fuck. Everything is just a mess right now for me.

I got approved for some financial aid through college, however they fucked up with my class assignment and there might be nothing I can do about it.
My girlfriend of 3 years wanted to break up, so we kinda did, but she still wants me to visit and everything next month and tells me I'm an awesome person, but still gives me the cold shoulder and blows me off.
I met someone awesome, who also likes me and we've been getting to know each other a bit better, but it turns out she lives far as fuck away and it won't work out honestly.
Then it turns out my medical insurance is fucked, they, again, had a problem verifying me, so I have to go in at 9AM tomorrow morning to sort it out, AND ON TOP OF IT, I owe fucking $400 because of their mistake.
And on the bright side, I'm getting kicked out early next year, since I had plans to move in with my girlfriend at that time but that's obviously not going to happen so I don't know where the fuck I'm going to go or what to do when that happens.
Not to mention the fact that I can't even enjoy video games anymore, since it's constantly reminding me of my now-ex girlfriend, and anytime I want to play or do anything else, it just makes me want to talk to her about it, or think about us playing it together, like it's been such a habit for the last 3 years. Even just going out on a forest walk makes me think about us walking together and it's really fucking with me.

But all this shit is happening over the last week. I just can't believe a month ago things were feeling fine and now things are fucked. Not saying I want to kill myself but I certainly wouldn't stop anyone from trying to kill me.
Life isn't fun when you're an adult. You'll have to accept that sooner or later. You'll also get over your EX. Just takes time.

Are you living with your parents or what? Why are you getting kicked out just like that when your situation has obviously changed?

it took me just one failed long distance internet relationship to realise that long distance internet relationships aren't actually relationships and just aren't worth the bother. so forget about that. it's fine to meet someone that way but they have to be someone you can actually see regularly. occasionally they do work out for people but the majority of the time they're not really relationships, they're just crutches for one or both parties because the people involved don't have anyone IRL right now.

don't make long term plans based on women. again I'm not saying they don't sometimes work out but the trouble is they can fall through at any moment, leaving you up shit creek. love is a powerful thing but that's the problem with it. at the end of the day your brain is playing a trick on you and you have to keep that at the back of your mind, always remember that your happiness is more important then theirs, and always have an exit strategy. a bit of cynicism when dealing with women is vital to prevent yourself from going mad.

not being able to enjoy the stuff you used to do with them will pass, but it will take a while and you will have to find something else to do in the meantime.

the rest of the stuff you mention is bureaucracy shit. we all have to deal with that and it never goes away unfortunately. you just have to grit your teeth and deal with it as unemotionally as possible.
nice rainbow I snapped earlier

:thumbsup:
yay you can see part of the second one
yeah it was an unusually bright one, they're normally not that good, probably only seen two or three other ones that good in my lifetime
I saw one that had three one time.  I also saw a moon-bow in the mountains once.  We were camping way high up in the rockies and there was a very bright full moon.  Fog  filled up the valley we were in and there was a big bluish white rainbow-ish phenom as a result.  I was on shrooms too.
haha nice
