NF: happy :Spin: (and also uselessly posting )

NE: the personification (fruitification actually) of the god of this board, teh pineapple

 

[rahvin]

nf: that i should never ever buy any other kind of book besides fantasy novels. i just got nick hornby´s how to be good, read about 100 pages, and already feel quite sick. not because it´s bad or unfunny or vulgar or anything (well, it´s not as good as about a boy so far, but still it´s quite witty), but obviously since the subject and the rather smart things that can be said about the subject by an author with some decent mastery of language and a few ideas are enough to make me want to run into a wall without wearing any protection. and i don´t mean condoms.
so i expect tomorrow by this time i´ll have finished it (what with the boring trip and all) and i´ll be sitting through the last few minutes of some train trip home shaking my head sadly and wanting to feel nothing. does it get any more repetitive than this?

What about putting a sticky on top of the board, saying something like "Warning! Ultimatemetal has a very short automatic logging-out time, so if you're planning to write a post that takes more than 5 minutes to write, we strongly recommend you to write it on notepad, then login, then paste it and post it, otherwise you're seriously risking to lose hours of creative effort"?

How about putting that sticky on top of your screen?


@MagSec: i usually do the copy/paste thingy when i post smt i don't want to lose, and thankfully UM is so slow i have time to copy it even after clicking the "submit reply" button.


@kovenant: What live chat?


NF: anxious, for no apparent reason. this happens a lot these days and i hate it, it makes it hard to sleep at night. i think i should turn off the pc a few hours before bedtime, find some lullabies, and read my textbooks more.

 

[Human Desert]

NF: Uhh, right now ok, but if I think I get scared and sad grrr... *sigh*

Yes, some decent mastery of language and a few ideas caused serious mischief in the past, so I would run along as well. Anybody pretending to have original ideas makes me nervous.

NF: Like a ghost, untouchable, impossible to be heard unless you're a scary boy with Bruce Willis as a personal shrink. Beware my chains, you might stumble and get hurt.

Also, I completely agree with you Rusty. It's remarkable how many times I've had that shit pulled on me, especially by the one I love.

Actually that rant came out all wrong, now I read it again it seems like I'm pissed off at people. For the most part, I actually understand their reasons for doing so, and I'm not angry in the slightest at them - I'm angry at myself for apparently not being the right kind of person who can be told things, and at "life" in general because it's such an easy target.

My friends, for example, I talk to about all my family and uni/career troubles - it's understandable they don't want to add to my worries. What they perhaps don't realise is that these kind of things can be a distraction from my own problems - not a nice distraction, and I'd rather be distracted in a different way obviously, but a distraction nonetheless. But regardless, I'm not about to be annoyed in the slightest at these people, because I can understand why - if it wasn't for knowing how it feels to be on the receiving end of it so much, I'd do the same. But I do, and so I offer up pretty much everything anyway, or at least try/mean to.

But my parents - I never talk to them about my friends and what's going on, they can't possibly be worried about 'adding to my troubles' because as far as they're concerned I hardly have any in the first place. So why still insist on not telling me things?? I really don't get it. I fail to see why they feel I need to be protected, can't understand why they think I'm better off not knowing. They're the ones I'm pissed off at.

Wow, two rants in a day. I should really cut down.


Also: *hugs Santtu*

Can you really be serious by saying you´re not the right kind of person to be told things?? I can´t see why it could be your fault if someone chooses not to speak out to you. It is the other side of the party who should be punished.

NF: a little bit pm-ish and tired.

To be back at work after holidays really sucks. The only thing that makes it easier is that it's school holiday this week, so the bus I'm usually going with doesn't go this week, so I "have" to sleep one hour more every morning.

And I'm probably going to visit a friend in his new hometown this weekend. :Spin: 1000 kilometers north from here. Yaaay.

 

[MagSec4]

Oh, you all at least HAD 'holidays'. Quit bitchin'! >(

 

[rahvin]

i'm back from the northernlands. and what a pleasant holiday full of dark tranquillity this one has been. :Spin:

as predicted, i've finished teh scarey b00k during my journey home, at times barely managing to refrain from throwing it against the airplane's, train's, subterranean train's windows. actually, it deals with too many topics that have nothing to do with what saddens me about it, further on throughout the story, which wouldn't be a bad thing if it wasn't for the fact that for such a short (250 pages) novel, it loses focus and tries to talk about too many things at the same time. the humour is, however, constantly good.

it has to be pointed out that this time i managed not to destroy any part of my body through, say, setting it on fire or smashing it against the street pavement, which makes me see this scandinavian trip as the best out of the three i've been through so far. alcohol abuse was also kept to a minimum of constant necessary tipsiness. therefore, for once un-traumatised here i stand again, ready to resume life as it usually is.

 

[Thanatos]

wjat did you do with the DTers, Mich?

 

[rahvin]

wjat did you do with the DTers, Mich?

let's see... i've been out drinking, i've been discussing many topics (some band-related, some not) and seeing some of them at work, and i've been to metal bars populated with local starlets. oh, and i've browsed through anders cd's collection.

They're not worried about adding to your troubles, they're worried about causing you ANY worries and troubles. They're your parents so they don't want you to have any, they want you to be happy.

*hugs back tight* *refuses to let go* It will all be ok dear [/cheesy]

 

[Rusty]

Well I honestly don't know. I've asked to be told these things, explained that I'd rather know than not. But still nothing, I don't understand why they keep so damn much from me.

They're not worried about adding to your troubles, they're worried about causing you ANY worries and troubles. They're your parents so they don't want you to have any, they want you to be happy.

Well maybe, but like I've said I'm worried and troubled anyway. It's not like I don't know things are bad and crap is going on already. Meh.

*hugs back tight* *refuses to let go* It will all be ok dear [/cheesy]

*doesn't let go either* Dear, the same goes for you. And I can't see any cheese.

@Fireangel: So you know, I'm not ignoring what you asked me. Just whenever I've come to this thread since I haven't been in the mood to answer.

 

[MagSec4]

Thanatos, ladrón de mierda!
Qué haces pirateando y mariqueando con mis GIFs !

 

[fireangel]

Rusty: don´t worry about that, reply or not, just how you feel, you can also send mail if you like. My rant wasn´t at all about such things. It aimed at a very specific targetgroup, and no-one else. On a large board, sometimes things get lost, and I can well deal with it aswell as overlooking stuff myself

 

[Spike]

NF: Still short-term good, although longer term I'm still thinking about quitting uni - the only trouble with that being I haven't got a clue what I'd do instead.

@Sami: I'll believe it when I see it.

Hehe, I see I´m STILL a few months ahead of you....

...Give me another few months once I get back from holidays and I can tell you what you´ll be doin´once you drop out of uni (after your holiday).

You WILL take one!

Ulla, with the post thing, I do that all the time too. Worst thing is where you start making a habit of trying to copy the data to the clipboard before posting just in case, and you type in a letter instead after highlighting text and lose the whole lot.

It keeps what you've written, even if you navigate off.
Mine don´t do that for some reason my firefox)

..fine, you want to be stubborn and/or lazy? I have another suggestion then: Get in the habit of quickly highlighting and copying to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) what you've written so far, right before submitting anything or clicking anything. If it's a long post, 'save it' on the clipboard a couple of times as you work on it, just in case.

*See my above comment about copy/pasting to ulla* That said, as long as you don´t FREAK OUT when you blank out your message by overwriting it, you can press Crtl+Z and undo it to get your text back, provided that you didn´t make any more keystrokes afterwards.

@alfred: my intellect is obscured by alcohol and i therefore cannot trace the origin of 'sometimes i forget myself'. i also know that in some 90 seconds it will come back to me and i'll want to hit myself with a hammer. you made me forget myself is all that i remember now.

This post is hella funny for some reason. That is all.

sorry to contradict you on this one pal....

He actually meant the page idle time, and yes, that is IE´s fault. Don´t get your panty´s in a not Michele.

Nf: Having a GREAT TIME! But tired beyond all description of the word, and on that note, I think I'll go to bed!

 

[hyena]

nf: ecstatic because of dogville. i'm so madly in love with the ending.

also, i've rotated, i've revolved, i revolt and i'm most definitely someone else. i've been feeling momentuous for ten days and it's not going away, so it must mean something. not that it's especially happy or bearing tons of material consequences (very few of them actually), but i'm seeing things in a different perspective; i might say that i have lost hope in many ways, although this does sound excessively sad and i'm not feeling sad. i need some time to see through all the implications, and reflect some more, but i have that sparkling feeling that i might be going in the right direction. kill them all and burn the city indeed.
