Now looking back has made me sad. As much as I wish my social life were better, I feel fortunate it was crap, otherwise I wouldn't improved on myself. A star in the great black.
Yeah, this.  I have two friends, neither of whom I get to see IRL, but I'm mostly fine with my crappy social life because of all the awesome mental toys it's brought me.  I feel less fine realizing that as long as I keep working hard, it's going to be just like this for the rest of my life.
Yeah, a few friends I used to have (which are now just associates and local townies) I still see now and then. Just saw one of them while working. Not really much interest after not seeing them for just over 5 years on either end. Meh, after re-evaluating my personality and history, I reset my associations with everyone I ever knew; family excluded for obvious reason.

But yeah, mental toys are pretty fun, especially if you have enough time and creativity to really make it screwy or useful; like conditioning your mind to somewhat be able to see and feel things that don't exist, or be able to manipulate mentally observed physics, and be able to mime things that don't exist. So to put it, that's how I manage to design some of my weapons/designs. I imagine their existence, kinaesthetically apply them to something my body can react to (weight and form being the easiest to apply), miming things becomes really easy, because the imagined existence I'm able to interact with immediately. Utilizing that, I can adjust/form my ideas before I draw them out, working out the physics, recoil, architecture, ergonomics, etc.. Once all that is applied, drawing the rest out is a cinch.

Hell, I would call it a very intuitive interactive augmented reality program developed mentally. Now, if only I could upload the data from my mind into a computer as files programs can read. The next best thing is pen/pencil and paper; or applying what I observe in my personal reality into a 3d-modeling program like 3DSMax.

Only real problem I have with doing these methods (using mental toys to occupy my time/source creativity), I look immature and even a little nuts. Ironically, it's "open minded" people that usually have the biggest problem with my methods of creativity. Kinda makes me feel insecure. Fortunately, lately, I've been giving less a shit about it; plus, considering I have a nephew and some nieces, I can still use my methods, and it won't look odd because I'm using it as a form of interaction with them, and at the same time, in case they end up using similar methods in the future, I can help them harness it and not feel insecure of using their mental gifts as they grow up. A simple "take that" to "open mindedness".

Kinda makes me think, idealism is bullcrap because it only applies to a single, or single collective's, personal beliefs without compromise to other views and a full vote on what is truly right and what is truly wrong. Not to derail with religion or anything, but I think that is a original intention of having a religion. Basically, a complete social agreement on acceptability.

Man, where would you need to go to find a place where the girls are beaten up?

I don't think girls in general were getting that treatment.  I think it was a combination of them forgetting I'm female and my chronic social processing troubles, which were really bad enough that I don't blame them too much.  Add that sort of "brilliance" to what generally amounted to total social retardation and people don't know what to do with it.

In full disclosure, the people who really tended to attack me were all female.  One was autistic and on some sort of terrible anti-depressant that made her violently enraged.  One was later sent to boarding school in Australia.  The third may or may not have Asperger's, but in any case she was nuts (read: extremely depressed) and used to smack me with a ladle.

Okay, I also got into big brawls with my male cousins, who thought the "you can't hit a lady" credo was ridiculous at the time.  But mostly, it was an issue of teachers seating me next to the people in question and refusing to let me move when I told them I was being beat up in class :I


Hmm... I seem to be quite lucky in terms of physical bullying in my area.  Although that may be because I'm over six foot tall, usually wear a leather jacket and could easily pass for hired muscle when walking with my friends...

(Not that I've ever learnt to fight.  But size and the fact that I accidentally punched out the toughest boy in my class is a great deterrant).

Lucky bum.  I'm tiny, have gigantic nerd-glasses, and used to cry at the drop of a hat.  I was pretty much the go-to person to make fun of/bother/smack around for a while.

Haha, I hear you as far as the "immature and a little nuts" goes.  People keep asking me if I've watched Big Bang Theory, because I remind them of Sheldon.  Mostly, I do the whole "talking to yourself and drawing pictures in the air" deal, because it helps me concentrate.  I also built a lot of mechanisms to increase flexibility of thought, find structure, and so on.  Most of my effort has been in converters, to be honest: thinking of ideas in terms of shapes, concepts in terms of colors and sounds, and so on.  Seems to work pretty well, and it's helped a lot with my studies ~

I'm one of the (many, it looks like) above-average students who are driven to excel.

The problem is, I'm just slowly slipping back - or staying at the same level, however you want to look at it. Each year I'm working harder to get the same result. This worries me; I don't want to start failing right when passing well is so important.


I'm also one of the ones who (used to, I'm glad to say) have much difficulty socialising, and was bullied a lot. Now I've got a bunch of good friends, although I do have a tendency to flip out when the younger kids try to get smart to us. (Why the younger kids? Why do they feel the need to mess with people older, bigger, and stronger than them?)

Finally, a bout of nasty depression has lead to a change in world perspective and the review of many old habits, which is very confusing, to say the least.

Well, I just did something smart. It turns out I accidentally took a swig of old lemonade in a recycled bottle if cran-juice. I don't remember how long it was out, but I noticed it tasted a little potent. I quickly disposed of it and am rinsing out my stomach with lots of water.

Thank goodness for a resilient immunity system. Either which way, tomorrow is gonna be fun.

Oh, and I'm getting sick and tired of timing out as I post. Any ideas what's going on? Anyone else have the server time out on them as they post?
