I can imagine the software 'shipping' charges.....

Two other people failed their tests. Out of four total in this group. At least I wasn't the only fuckup.

Isn't there some stuff with taxes being involved too. I mean, taxes in Europe are significantly higher than US taxes.

Apparently my mom is crying in the other room because I'm immature, naive, and don't make 80k a year fresh out of undergrad.  And won't watch cooking DVDs on command.

I hate this.  I wish I had enough money to live life outside of the surveillance zone.  And maybe be permitted to make a mistake once in a while without it being all "VECTOR IS UNPREPARED FOR ADULT LIFE AND IS GOING TO BE CURBSTOMPED"

I'm a 23-year-old published author with a perfect GRE score, math degree, competence in five languages and a shitty job--but a job.  I'm a virgin, I've never drunk, I've never done any drugs, I don't listen to rap or hiphop, I haven't been on a date in almost a year now, and I put in 12-hour days pretty consistently when my compatriots graduate and just ~take a year off~.  I don't know what else they fucking want.

I can do all this and I still feel like a fucking failure, and it doesn't matter how many times I tell them that they're destroying my self-esteem for no reason, they just keep on doing it like if I go crazy again it will somehow make me have a job.

Haha.

.....and now *I* feel like a failure by comparison. 


You're awesome, chica. Don't ever forget that.

[kaijyuu]

Seriously. You're doing incredibly.

I've been restless for a bit, but I really just need to write it down so I can finally just lay down and get some normal sleep.

I'm really confused, Hipster Girl that I was dating, I can't get over how intensely attracted to me she always seemed, and she flat out says that she wants to see me again, but then she doesn't return my texts at all. It's been a long time since our second date, but I'm just in the dark here, and I'm not sure how to approach this situation.

For some reason I just have this foreboding premonition, like this shit is just doomed to die. Like I'm being karmically punished for something I did a long time ago, and fate just feels I haven't gotten enough hurtin' my way yet. It's cause of this feeling that I've been so restless and upset for the last couple days, I'm just glad I haven't done anything stupid.

My brain is trying to counsel me this. Maybe I should just forget about her for now and just focus on trying to meet other girls? I'm not sure...

But yeah Vector, you can have a sense of self-accomplishment in life, cause you've accomplished things. Don't doubt the awesome things you've achieved.

[Grek]

I just took a poo that felt like fire, smelled like brimstone and was as wet and squishy as an angry jellyfish. It was pretty awful.

[Bauglir]

Could we switch lives for like, a day? I couldn't handle the stress of yours, but damn what I wouldn't give for the perspective of knowing what some of those things feel like.

Ninjaedit: That was directed at Vector, I have no wish to experience brimstone jellyfish. My condolences.

....can't.....breathe....laughing...so...hard

[Sirus]

Here's an idea: Vector, if you'll pay travel expenses, I'll go see your mother and explain in excruciating detail just how much of a failure my life has been. My shit academic record, every fuckup, every attempt to drag myself out of this hole only to dig myself deeper. She'll be ecstatic about your accomplishments by the time I'm through, guaranteed.

[Vector]

Yeah, well.  Thank you.

I think that knowing what those things feel like to you would be the important thing.  I have, like, a leak in my self-esteem system.  It stays about level and doesn't tend to go up or down very much.  "Are you trying, Vector?  Y/N."

(Y)

So for me, 24 hours after accomplishing anything I stop caring about it.  At all.  Well, in most cases.  Sometimes I'll care for a couple of days (graduation, GREs, book-publishing), but after that it just somehow stops mattering.  It's like "okay, I guess that happened, but it's not making me feel good anymore.  What's the next big thing?"

This is pretty good, honestly

Hahahaha that's cute :3

Naw.  She's just scared that she'll have worked her ass off all her life and that it won't mean anything for our family, in terms of actual monetary situation.
