I dunno, being a snowflake implies you'll melt easily, and that doesn't sound at all healthy. I'd prefer it if Vector didn't melt.
Being different, on the other hand, is totally normal. It has the bonus effect of making people more interesting, rather than merely featureless flakes of snow.

I think I'm babbling. I'd post an update to distract you but nothing's changed since the last one.

Actually Mzero you make an awesome point.
What if everyone in the actual world is incredibly unique and is full of fears, inner demons and traumatic past experiences, but they hide it just like we hide it.
So it's only here where we're looking behind the curtain that we manage to see just how insanely screwed up a good portion of humanity is.

Which means that even B12 aren't special snowflakes. Everyone is tortured.

That's basically the case. Think about it - really, what are the odds that your life is that much deeper, more difficult, or meaningful than average? Everybody else you see day to day - they're as complicated as you. And they don't see you as anything more than you see them.

Congratulations, guys, we've achieved Sonder. Well done.

You are one of those behemoths.

Well hey, i was just thinking about this thread. :v

Spoiler: shookdate (click to show/hide)

Green = DONE
Yellow = IN PROGRESS
Red = NOT STARTED
Black = FAILED
*asterisks* = NEW

1. Finish Angry Laser Space, or at least get it to 1.0. This bloody project has been in progress for over 4 years now, and i think it's about time to wrap it up as neatly as possible, so i can get going on other things.
Well, not finished, but i have made more progress, so that's pretty neat.

2. Get into the habit of drawing something every day. Doesn't have to be anything specific or mindblowing, just SOMETHING so i can keep up the practice, be it digital or traditional.
Only missed one single day so far, and that was because i was busy in my usual drawing time, so i got that going for me.

3. Paint something with the acrylic paint (and canvas) that i got for my birthday. Something that isn't just a half-hearted leaf.
Nein. However, i have applied for a drawing/painting course, so maybe soon!!

4. Give someone in meatspace uncensored access to my deviantArt page, preferrably one of my immediate relatives. This may sound simple, but due to personal issues, is comparable in fear and difficulty of execution to russian roulette. It is most definitely the "all in" move of my life right now, and a bad result could have dreadful consequences for my psyche, while a good result could possibly result in me finally breaking the shackles cast upon me by my oppressors back in elementary school.
NON. Although one thing somewhat relatable to this is that i've mentioned to my family how i do draw dark and spoopy things occasionally, and have even shown these things to my brother. Reactions have been favourable.

5. Start talking to people over the intertoobs with my microphone. I am EXTREMELY SHY AND AWKWARD but my past experiences have been a lot of fun.
Still nothing.

6. A vague one: Try to stop caring so much about what others think. It goes hand in hand with my crippling lack of self-esteem, and is, in essence, what makes things like 3, 4 and 5 very hard to do.
I guess there's some progress in this, since it's easier than ever to show my drawings to my friends and family.

7. Get a hold of my sleeping rhythm. At the moment, if people didn't wake me up, it'd keep advancing all the time, and sleepytime is already WAY past midnight and approaching the next morning.
Well, with uni starting up again, i'm getting a bit better at getting up early, but i'm NOT enjoying it, nor am i getting enough sleep at the moment.

8. Try my hand at some kind of music-ing. I like listening to music too much to at least not try making some myself. :v
No dice.

9. Get a hold on my crippling lack of self-esteem.
Kind of fallen into a hole again, one full of weltschmerz and general dissatisfaction with myself and the actual real world.

*10. Find out what i want/am to do with my life.*
Good lord this is going to be fucking difficult. I veer towards non-clinical depression whenever i'm not practicing escapism of some kind distracted by other things, because of how much it feels like i won't ever be able to find my place in this world.

Some good things, some bad things. Could do without the bad things, if i am to be honest.

[Tiruin]

Must...do...#1.

1. Create Goal List @_@

[Caz]

Spoiler: Upblargh 15/02 (click to show/hide)

yeah!

Can I like re-roll my whole list? I pretty much failed in half of it already. Life re-roll pls.

Edit: i re-read the OP and apparently you're actually allowed to do this. Not sure what to replace the goals with though or if failed goals are allowed to be replaced. If they are, maybe I'll start with 'extract the giant shit-spraying machine that seems to be nuking everything in my life' atm. Also I wrote a massive rant then deleted it because no one needs to hear that crap. Damn I wish I could get some sleep. Eh.

Which means that even B12 aren't special snowflakes. Everyone is tortured.

Deep.

[Skyrunner]

1. Learn multivariable calculus
2. Learn some 3D rendering.
3. Make a water simulation involving Navier-Stokes equations
4. Get a good GPA... not sure how hard it is seeing that I'm not in college yet. At least a 3?
5. Make a moderately complex minecraft mod!

[Rince Wind]

So, I found this thing here, looks like I will have to write down some goals as well.


Silthuri: Running is great, it helped me a lot, until my knees started hurting. You get outside (probably during the day, and natural light is good for you), get some fresh air and some excercise which makes you produce your very own happy meds. Not everyone likes it, of course, but for me it was important that I could do it alone and at any time.
I took part in a half-marathon after about 6 months of training (even though I did not train for almost ten years I was still in good shape, I don't smoke and I hardly ever eat fast food, so I did not start at the lowest level) and it was great. I really enjoyed those mass sports events when I was young, and it seems I still do. After the winter break I tried restarting, but my knees would always hurt. I should probably see a specialist about that.

NO I DID NOT ACCIDENTALLY OVERWRITE THIS UPDATE WHEN I TRIED TO POST THE NEW UPDATE

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER SUCH A THING
