Not-so-good-and-old "How do you feel" thread

[rahvin]

(sorry for the double post, but i've seen ulla's post just now :/ )

our mod's right, and it always get better (then worse, than better again, then worse again...) and you always find ways to change it, discover something you want to do or become and fight for it, sad thoughts are everywhere, but this doesn't mean that there aren't good ones to work for. suicide is only a way to put an end to every chance...i hope this had a sense for who reads

i'm going to design a 'rahvin saves lives' banner. it's waaaaay cool.
seriously, what he said is correct. i concur. and all that.

nf: since i phoned home and my dad's not really getting better

 

[rahvin]

@hyena: i don't really save a thing, and some would contend that their life has hardly improved from meeting me. i'd gladly save just one - your father's, for starters - and trade with mine though, as it's becoming more and more redundant with every day.

 

[hyena]

you're evil. it does no good to make your best friend cry.

 

[Wolfman Von Jones]

Well I havent had a post on this thread in awhile. So here it goes .

I feel great sympathy for everyone who is having problems in their lives. I can relate to everything bad, well almost everything, that has happened to people on here. All I can say is what has been said before, so Im not going to say life gets better,etc,etc. I just hope everything turns out great for the people who are involed in the trivial, and not so trivial, trials of life. Being alone, losing loved ones, being depressed,etc it all sucks. Its sucks horribly, but it builds character, and shapes who we are today. It isnt painless, but all those things give us a better understanding of ourselves.

So remain, optimistic, open, faithful, loving, understanding, objective, opinionated, b/c no matter how low or how high life takes you, atleast your still ALIVE.

So on that note, Im going to say good bye to the DT forum, and to all of the people who have shaped who I am over the past few years.

Later

Nick

 

[rahvin]

woah. now nick's leaving too. what a great day today.

 

[mousewings]

@Nick: you're leaving... I'll miss you a lot.

 

[Malaclypse]

i feel like making a new thread about that. i feel there's quite a bunch to discuss, since i myself have had the same idea of leaving altogether, but it seems i can't somehow. well, doesn't matter, of course there's something going on at large, and i guess everyone being a bit involved in this community has found out. can we find words for it? can we talk about it? is it of any use? or is that just the way every forum has to go sooner or later? i thought so, but honestly, i didn't ever believe that _this_ very place could be disintegrated somehow. and that's why i am not leaving. i've considered, and found out that this place is of much importance to me. of course i notice as well that my closer friends here don't post here any more or way less than they used too, but heck, i just can't throw it all away. opinions? pm me. or post here.

 

[hyena]

@nick: you da man. wonderful words.

i hope i'll see you on msn.

 

[Hiljainen]

@V_C: that's a lot of interesting, even if sad stuff to discuss...heh, there must be something going on, definitely, i thought about leaving too, already some time ago, still thinking, but it seems i can't either. the thought of me thinking about this place when all of us will be somewhere else, doing something else, thinking about how it changes is what's really saddening me tonight

 

[fireangel]

@fire: thanks for the time spent pondering my disgraces. i briefly considered what you say some days ago and ended up discarding the hypothesis: it's not like we have a relationship or even casual sex, we're just friends and we go for long spells without seeing each other, too. i have been very discreet about my interest in him, and there's no reason why other people in the commission should have known. so no, it's not a point of diplomacy, you don't fail someone because she's friends with one of the people in the commission.

okay then..

the second point is very correct. i aimed too high, and should have analyzed more considerately the effort each of these required versus the effort i was willing to put into them. that's why my boss sent me on my way with a flat it builds character yesterday: i have overestimated myself. this has also been the common opinion of most people with experience in this whole business. so i need to trade "fast and furious" for "slow and steady" for a while, smother my head with ashes (is that an expression in english, MagSec?), and wait for retribution. I have to resubmit my thesis in September 2004, and I'll start working on it in 2 months I guess. As for the job, I'll just wait for the internal selection, which is in 4 years so no sweat at the moment.

I noticed you changed your avatar and everything, too looks like a new start to me, or a changing period. Very nice thing.

I can relate perfectly to what you wrote, thing like that happened to me aswell, though not in that_important things, but anyways it sucks when you expect to get a 1 (the best grade) and get your papers back with a 4 (just passed...) Sometimes it was not me, it was the teachers and some other reasons, but sometimes it surely was me who could have worked harder. Probably that can be the deficit of the "good" students: that one thinks it is good, and then you have to realize that weaker students nevertheless worked harder as they could not rely on other factors, and even when you´re good, you need to back-up your creativity and good idea with solid basic knowledge things.

Fortunately that didn´t happen alway, but I guess those days were I got the good grades, had combination of both: cool ideas and bringing up new ideas, plus knowing everything_else, too. Only then you can be really_good. I like to learn, but I am not the person with most discipline on this earth, definitely not. So I can stand in my own way



Delirious: nice to hear about your sunny experience!

NF: I am back home. Not so freezing anymore Still very surprised about the happenings at Katatonia-gig
Negative: had to realize that the SubUrban-Tribe issue with my friend is not as solved as I thought. A bit better, but still troubling her. I would behave sometimes arrogant (yes, I do, but not to my friends I hate misunderstandings and not_understandings
I want to have my own opinions and I don´t like to change, because I think I feel right the way I feel. It would make her happy if I changed that behaviour, and partly I will do, because she is right in some aspects, but not all of them, because I am not there to be formed like others want to have me. But I don´t want to hurt her either

Positive: some other trouble is definitely better now.

Strange...

 

[JackhammerRape]

Well, i was gonna start off on some nf: tired, knackered etc kind of angle, but after reading everything thats going on for everyone around here, my troubles all seem somewhat insignificant.. I can't really say i know everyone on here that well at all, what with being new despite lurking around spying for a fair old time, but i'd definately echo what nick said, and that the trials and tribulations that existence flings at us (from some sort of a universal trebuchet i'd wager) help to shape who we are and what we become. Sad to see so many people going just as i got here, but good luck to you all, i hope everything hits an equilibrium for you along the lines.

so anyway, NF: apprehensive. off to have all my wisdom teeth removed.. (so guess i'll be left with just all the rest of my 'stupidity' teeth), not really bothered about the pain, or the event itself, except for the constant recurring dreams about dying under the anaesthetic.. (cursed subconcious). So see all you crazy people soon. Unless i don't make it, in which case Ben, you get my cd collection! (Share it around as you wish)

 

[Arch]

NF: Rushed and lazy. I need better time management.

 

[Hiljainen]

NF: tiiiiired and booored, and i'd have stuff to do but maybe i'm too bored even for that

 

[hyena]

@jack: @ the stupidity teeth.

nf: expectant.

 

[Tranquillian]

Relieved. In 9 hours I get off work for 5.5 days and in 24 hours I will go see my friends in Amaran play with Katatonia.

 

[Naku ist krig]

Maybe I survived from the test of maths or i didnt.. I was extremely anguished this morning, when i realized that i am so fucking stupid that i cannot anything right (on school I mean).
Now I am feelin better.

 

[rahvin]

Maybe I survived from the test of maths or i didnt..

this is a very enlightening statement that can also be related to some profound mathematical concept, which can be summarized in: either things are or they are not. tertium non datur, a famous latin maxim that can roughly be translated to shape up or ship out.

but seriously, you have my deepest sympathy, i've never managed to learn anything about maths at all, possibly also because i never wanted to.

 

[Delirious]

NF: no katatonia gig.
you don´t let the band go on "some time after 23:00" a week/workday. you just don´t
