Penny for your thoughts.

[Barbas]

[HEADING=2]So, what's on your mind?[/HEADING]

Go on and let it all out...unless it's NSFW.

Yes, I'm looking at you. You know who you are. ಠ_ಠ

I've been thinking of mice. We got a lot of mice in the house. I dunno what's up with that, but they keep eating our peanuts.

 

[DOOM GUY]

Eh, I've been feeling very down for awhile, and it really sucks.

 

[Barbas]

@DOOM: But I always thought you had a sunny disposition! D:

 

[Dalek Caan]

I'm thinking how the sound effect for Green Lanterns ring shooting lasers in the Justice League cartoon is exactly the same as a Dalek shooting it's laser.

I'm also regretting eating 5 of the 7 choc chip muffins I baked today. Feel like I'm gonna throw up at any moment.

I'm pondering about the moral implications of all the choices I've ever made, it's actually pretty hard to decide whether I'm good or evil, I've done plenty of bad things but I've also done a lot of good things that make me think I might be a better person than most[footnote]Certainly better than you, I mean have you ever put out a fire? Punched a some guys that were trying to steal a girl's purse and gotten your ass kicked because of that? Put out a fire? Starved for 3 days in order to feed a family of people you didn't even know?
I seriously doubt you have, I'm pretty amazing, then again good people don't try to kill other people because they piss them off...[/footnote] but then again the motives for doing a lot of those actions are rather questionable, so I think it might be chaotic neutral?
Maybe chaotic neutral leaning towards chaotic good considering I haven't done anything particularly bad in years, unless you consider nonchalantly stealing beverages from stores when I'm really thirsty and don't have change to be rather evil, but I mean, I live in a desert so whatever, besides it's not like I sneak around like I used to I just grab it and walk out if they see me I just glare at them and they don't stop me so it hardly matters.
[sup][sup]To be fair it's pretty rare that a day passes without me thinking about this at least once.[/sup][/sup]

 

[Drummodino]

I'm just thinking about the rain outside. I hope it doesn't last too long, I almost crashed my car due to the slippery conditions today (fishtailed like crazy).

That was scary.

 

[Barbas]

@Dalek: I almost feel like feeding you banana bread to see how much cake you can hold in your body before you explode...I hope that's not an issue.

@Kaleion: Reminds me of when I used to steal paper clips. I never stole people's food from the fridge, though, because that was one type of theft that really annoyed me arbitrarily. And a person does have to eat and drink...

@Drum: I was on a bus that almost went down the hillside in the ice and snow last year. Disconcerting when you first feel it drifting! Doesn't stop me wishing for snow again this year, though. >.>

 

[Neuromancer]

I am worrying about my step-sister. After almost a year of fighting I have finally managed to get her to a psychiatrist, and she has been diagnosed with clinical depression. With summer time running short and having to return to my mother's house-which is 1/4th of the country away, due to university starting again, she'll basically be losing the only support she has in the house.

There's also exams starting on the 1st of September, and given that I neglected my studies last year to get my sister help, I will have to work on catching up. This is going to be a busy year.

*Lewdness intensifies*.

God damned vagabond! Don't make me smack you right inna penis! D:<

@Neuro: I'd say maintain contact. Give her a phone number or a postal address that she can always get a hold of you on. Keep regular contact and do what you can with that contact to get steady progress. Talking is important; even a few short minutes can work wonders. Take each day very slowly, for there is no rush. Remember your grandfather.

Just wondering why is it that people get angry at me when they assume I care about them and it turns out I don't despite the fact that I've told them that I don't, I mean don't they get it? It's not like I misled them or something, I just tell them the truth, "You have any idea how many people I've seen come and go in my life? I stopped caring a long time ago".
I mean what do they expect me to say I'll miss them?
Why would I say that if I won't, it's like they assume I'm tsundere or something, but really I'm just an asshole, I don't understand how they don't get that.

 

[Barbas]

(...)it's like they assume I'm tsundere or something, but really I'm just an asshole, I don't understand how they don't get that.

Heheh, it's probably the avatar. I tried being an asshole once. It turned out being a lot more work than it was really worth.

Nah, I'm talking about real life here and in real life I'm just some permanently angry looking mexican guy that normally has the lower part of his face covered with either a scarf or a bandana and with a scar on my left eye, in other wrods I more or less look like a bandit, except in winter since wear long coats I simply look like I'm cosplaying as The Shadow [http://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxq4uni65o1qce9ueo1_1280.jpg], in any case I don't look very friendly like at all and I don't act friendly either so I'm really unsure as to why people think I care about them.

The Shadow helps people, though. So, stop me if I'm wrong here, but what you're saying is that...you look cool, dress snazzily and really just want to vanquish crime? I'm not seeing the issue here. :/

Nobody can really be unfeeling, because then they'd just be a corpse, stiff as a board. Everyone cares about something or someone. If you don't think you do yet then all that fantastic stuff is ahead of you!

Strangely relevant. I just read Catcher in the Rye for school recently, and you fit the bill exactly for "non-phony" (which is good, in case you haven't read the book). I guess it's not because they assume you care about them, but that society dictates that you're supposed to (absentmindedly) say "Oh I'll miss you, man I wish you could stay longer" even if you honestly don't even know them that well/don't give a shit about them.

On the other hand, you sound like the most badass guy I would ever see walking down the street. So I'm not sure exactly how they would expect such a badass-looking guy to have time for niceties like that.

OT: Well, I'm in a rather nice place right now. Started Junior year of HS, going through standard hard as balls classes (AP Physics and Multivariable Calc, to name two), looking forward to going to sleep at 8 AM the next day for the entire year...so more or less thinking of how I'm going to survive to make benefit of all this extraneous knowledge.

Also thinking about how to tackle the latest piano piece that I'm playing.

On a wider note, how the hell I'm supposed to get into a good college (I go to a great school, one of the best...which means that it takes nigh-inhuman amounts of brilliance and stuff to get into the great colleges), followed by how I'm going to land a good job. Standard teen worries, I suppose.

 

[Twintix]

I sometimes feel like I'm just not good enough. I'm always afraid of making my parents disappointed, or not being helpful enough to them, or just generally being incompetent. They are great parents, and me feeling like this makes them feel like they're not good enough parents. It makes me feel awful, and I just end up feeling small and useless. My mom has said that, aside from being on stage (I sing in a choir, as well as playing some instruments), it feels like I'm not finding anything fun anymore. The thought that she might be right scares me...

I failed to get into my desired college for the second time, and so I remain on a school which I didn't like going to last year. We'll see if the second year is any better, I guess.
One of my friends studies the same thing as me, part of the reason being me studying it. Thing is, he can be amazing at making me feel like a prick by accident. Saying things like "In two years, we'll be engineers! Can you believe it?", even though he knows that I don't want to be one, and I feel like the world's biggest douche for not wanting to keep studying with him.

Also, I'm tired of people acting as if everything (A general "everything") is my fault all the time.

It's not that I don't feel, it's just that when I was a kid I used to only live in a place for like a year some times less, so I'm rather used to not ever seeing someone again, I don't really miss people when they are gone, if I liked them I just appreciate the times we spent together but I don't miss them, I never think stuff like "I wish they were here" or "I wonder what they are doing now" or "I should really talk to some of those people that I used to be friends with", you know despite the fact that with the Internet I could contact them in a matter of seconds I don't, because I don't really care about seein anyone ever again, I'm OK with meeting someone nice one time for a day or a week and then never seeing or hearing from them ever again.

And as for the outfit thing, well like The Shadow I want to vanquish crime and help people, but also like the Shadow I'm willing to kill the bad guys to do it, so I just try to be as scary as possible to make people go away and not hurt anyone, because well I know I can go pretty far they push my buttons.

I haven't read the book but considering that I've always thought quite highly of myself I was going to attume it was a good thing anyway, in any case I don't really care much what people think about me but it's annoying when tehy expect something from me just based on assumptions they made, I'd rather just break their fantasies and let them know the truth rather than let them hold on to a stupid fantasy and risking that they'll keep annoying me by trying to keep contact.

And by the way, considering that I have punched drug dealers and even held one at knife point, I'd say that yeah I'm probably pretty badass, though the big nerdy glasses probably ruin the whole thing.

 

[Barbas]

@Twin: Compare yourself to others and you'll likely spend a lot of time feeling like that. What really can be your fault, though? Don't know what you want to do? Few people probably do, really. Don't worry about the past or the future or you won't be able to enjoy here and now, which is one of the best parts of life. Turn your enjoyments into achievable goals and you'll find they can bring you a lot of a happiness. Practice a piece of music you really like, just for starters.

I need a cure for my laziness! Help pls.

*Slap* Quit looking at porn and cats!

 

[DOOM GUY]

I've been feeling a little bit better than I was before, but still pretty down in the dumps.

Been playing a lot of PAYDAY 2 and 100% Orange Juice lately though, and been having fun with them.

@DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM: Why are you down in the dumps, if you don't mind sharing?

Hey, tricky-crazy likes the latter. He's looking for people to stream with him on Friday.
