I get to spend another two weeks in bed...

I do hope I recover soon... I'm tired of feeling so weak all the time.

[Aqizzar]

What did you bang your head on this time?

Hey, other people who live with Janet and read her posts (even though you're probably figments of her imagination), hold her down and keep her from getting sick and injured and stuff, it's getting ridiculous.

[Duke 2.0]

 It was ridiculous three concussions ago. Now it is deeply in the realm of absurd.

 Although I fear this one she has no power over.

[Footkerchief]

Do you have a problem with me Footkerchief? First you didn't bother apologizing to me over the very harsh way you described smokers and now you've been doing that a bit.

Wait what?  I thought I did apologize about the smoker thing, and I didn't even know that was your desktop.

now you've been doing that a bit

Doing what?

[Gunner-Chan]

Never mind. Just asking really quick. No real feelings one way or the other.

Anyway I didn't get injured again, it's just my heart isn't doing well still. So more rest before I can try doing some exercise to strengthen it further.

And stop Joking about that Aqizzar, it's stupid. I'd be pretty screwed in this condition if I was living on my own.

Well, it seems my awesome score on the freelance job site (see HAPPY) managed to have everyone at the house make a big freaking deal over my successes and such. This is the reason why I don't like revealing any spectacular trait about myself. I hate when anyone makes a big deal out of anything I'm reasonably good at.

Spoiler: Caution: Further Rant Explaining Why (click to show/hide)

Thanks to senior projects at the high school that my sister has to do, my remarkable score just had to be mentioned like mad (which has also yet to be beat at the school because it's full of morons, then again, I'd like to see anyone beat my score of 98/100 (49 on both project and presentation) on the senior project). Then again, I had to uber-refine my work like mad to fit family standard as well; and a fluke involving my purpose-driven skills/personality. Ugh, those were some painful last weeks of school. In regards to that presentation, I am NOT a person that likes to do public speaking, and I freaking Obama'd the judges into giving me a Nobel score.

But yeah, to the point, I hate having any of my accomplishments made a huge deal of. It bugs the hell out of me. I mean, I had to nerf my skills and appearance, and how I presented myself at school all years I attended (except the years I was home-schooled) just so I wouldn't 1-up anyone, and be a show-off, just out of mercy (and so I wouldn't get my ass kicked by my classmates). Sure, it may have cost me possible scholarships for college, but I am always nervous about free money anyway; but considering the lack of intelligence around that school/this town, I don't want to be the celebrity/resident genius of town and suffer the annoying "benefits" and painful consequences of it. I like to keep a low profile so I can hide from these bottom-feeders/shmucks who reject people who are too smart/over-qualified, but still enjoy life around town.

To make it worse, my so-called achievements also tends to piss off just about anyone as to why I don't present myself or do anything to make myself more appealing to women so I can get a date once in awhile (personally, I was never lucky with girls as it was anyway; ranging from anyone that fits my standards are taken, or there are no suitable women in town; plus, it's the common routine that involves looking like a model, and smelling like a bottle of cologne (which burns my nostrils anyway; any perfumes burn my nose)). Main reason: I like to have people know me for me, not how I look, or what I do/have done. Another reason is because I'm lazy, and grooming myself every-damn-day is a chore, and not worth it if I'm not going anywhere anyway (except work). Last thing I need is a superficial person to befirend (and on that note, not "Just Friends" either.). Hell of a long shot, but definitely a quality I seek.


...Yeah, short story: people suck.

That's an awfully good rant Mr. Caulfield.

[Itnetlolor]

That's an awfully good rant Mr. Caulfield.

Catcher in the Rye I take it?

I never thought I'd actually resemble that character.

Now I want to read that book to be certain.

EDIT:
After surfing Tropes for a bit, I suppose this trope describes me through and through (after buzzing Catcher in the Rye's trope page a bit): Brilliant But Lazy.

Perfect example, Bloodfist (with the sudden progress boom), and just about anything else I've been bragged about, but a no-show with the proof for the reasons described above. Or a similar way I described to myself, as a thought. I would essentially be what you get if you were to cross Orlandeau (FFT) with Setzer Gabbianni (FF3/6). First real confirmation of it I got (from other people, non-school/obligation) was from after working at my last job, I hammered down a few (maybe 4) Jagermeister/Jager-bombs (4-6 oz. each) at the nearby tavern in a short amount of time, and wasn't phased one bit. My co-workers I was hanging out with that witnessed it considered me a total badass, kept calling me such all night.

Reminder: apparently Jagermeister is like a silver bullet to any regular drinker around town, and even a small handful can nearly incapacitate anyone/give one hell of a hangover. I was able to work the very next morning no problem, no hangover. I kid ye not.

Oh, and anther example is also that financial problem that occurred with Valve/Steam and my bank account a few weeks ago (it's all there many pages back). I'm overall lazy and unmotivated to do any real work or get a better job, but once that happened, I solved the problem and gathered all the evidence I needed (and ultra-simplified) in less than 6 hours, and the problem got averted with a 2-bird-1-stone card replacement in the process which I needed to do anyway in less than a week just before my next work day. The timing couldn't have been any better.

This is also the reason why I went on to also get through some tests in the freelance job search site, and passed at least 1 test with flying colors on my first try (didn't do others yet).

I found a really awesome game that I cant play becuase no translation.

[Cheddarius]

Solution: Learn all languages. Become god.

[ToonyMan]

If you had to trope me...

When I'm in a good mood, Cloud Cuckoolander.
Bad mood, Knight in Sour Armor.

Although I suppose calling myself a Cloud Cuckoolander makes me NOT a Cloud Cuckoolander.

Or something.

[Itnetlolor]

I sense the sudden topic change here is going to make many sad; so pre-emptively, I'm going to end the derail.

Should we move this discussion and necro the old forumite trope thread? If this continues, we might as well.

[Hippoman]

I hate having to cut out huge portions of my movie in order to upload it on DF Map Archive. I'm having a hard time doing it too.

[Cthulhu]

90% of internet-goers are Brilliant but Lazy, or Lazy and Convinced They're Brilliant

What makes me sad today, I missed my 8000th post.

[Jackrabbit]

I've passed Toady One in post count. I do not see this as a good thing. Which is weird because the only other time I ever really cared about my post count was to boast about how I was just below him.
