Don't they also make you pay to have an avatar and use the search function?

We're also probably the only place that has more quote-sigs than actual signatures.

I had a dream that I was browsing bay12 and I went to reply to a topic about plumbing or somesuch but instead of replying to the topic I accidentally created a new thread, then everybody on the forum came in and started bitching at me and asking what the fuck I was talking about, so I made a reply about how everybody is a douchebag and it was an accident and locked the thread and went onto my next dream that night.

The next dream I was apparently at a county fair and I was doing shit on my laptop and the battery was getting low and I was freaking out over something, also there was a carnival and as I was walking through it a lyric from a song I like kept going through my head.

I'm against the trends. No avatar, no quote sig. Also, I'm lazy.

Not really happy thread material but I had a dream that I was browsing bay12 and I went to reply to a topic about plumbing or somesuch but instead of replying to the topic I accidentally created a new thread, then everybody on the forum came in and started bitching at me and asking what the fuck I was talking about, so I made a reply about how everybody is a douchebag and it was an accident and locked the thread and went onto my next dream that night.

Sounds like someone has a repressed fear of rejection.

b'dawwww, but we love you, Rilder.

Great, now I'm sad.  Every night for the last week or two, I have had pretty vivid dreams.  They are much like most of my dreams - dark colored and vaguely threatening, with just a hint lucidity.  But while my dreams have always had elements of loose mash-ups of cultural stuff I've been exposed to (especially old TV shows), these last two weeks have been solid recitations of videogames.  Specifically, yesterday I played some Stalker and watched the Simpsons Movie.  Lo and behold, I woke up this morning after an extensive, full color view of the plot of the Simpsons Movie in Stalker form.

Is this really the best my subconscious can do anymore?  No wonder I can zone out at work thinking about plottwists in Homestuck.  I seriously need some new hobbies.

Which leads me right into pining for my lost ability to read.  I'm way behind on my class reading, so I tried to catch up on The Republic.  All I read was the included interpretive essay, and that took me three hours to get through thirty pages (thirty large pages with very dense reading, but the point stands).  And part of the reason it took me that long was because all the themes of political knowledge and justice keep sending me off daydreaming about stories I once wanted to write.

Goddamn this has been a depressing afternoon.  And why have I stopped reading my book, when I know I need to?  To let off steam perusing this forum and playing Stalker, of course.  What the fuck is wrong with me?

What the fuck is wrong with me?

Whatever it is, it's better than what's wrong with me. Anytime you're depressed, just say to yourself "At least I'm not Schil".

[Aqizzar]

Yeah dude, we heard you the first time.  Some of us have real ennui to contend with.

[Vector]

What the fuck is wrong with me?

Burnout and a fundamental difficulty in seeing your own good points, I think.  The truth is, though, that you are quite intelligent, no matter how many times you try to convince us all to the contrary.  You're also creative, and it seems like you've had a fairly hard row to hoe.  That would exhaust anyone.

Maybe all you need is a change of scene.  A little something, no matter how small, to remind you that everything is progressing, will progress, and will be fine.  Slightly different food, a different haircut, whatever, to reflect on and appreciate.

Or maybe you just need a kick in the pants, in which case I'll say: "Stop procrastinating and get back to work!  You'll feel so much better when you're done!"

Whatever it is, it's better than what's wrong with me. Anytime you're depressed, just say to yourself "At least I'm not Schil".

"I have a crush on the entire Berkeley math department and don't think they'd take well to the suggestion of a huge collaborative paper orgy.  At least I'm not Schil!"

Good point.  I do feel better.

I'm afraid to ask what a "Paper Orgy" is.

As am I. Is it a math party?
