Be happy you're not studying Finnish. Every noun has 15 singular and 15 plural grammatical cases. If teaching Finnish is anything like teaching English or Swedish around here, I wouldn't want to study it.

Just imagine a word test, where you have to fill in every one of the 30 forms of the word  :o

Sweet Mother MacArthur! What do the Finns do with them all?

Basically we replace all those little words (like to, from, of, etc.) with another form of the word.

For example: "Car" = "Auto", "to car" = "autoon", "from car" = "autosta", etc.

Easy when you are native  :P

Firstly, I know you don't. Namely, it's this:

Because, IQ = Intelligence.

Why is it almost everytime I discuss anything with Americans it comes to these things and this gangbang mentality?

That is you crying victim. I suppose I should've quoted the whole post. Free speech = people not moaning when someone expresses a difference of opinion, which is exactly what you were saying everyone should do with your opinion. No one was ganging up on you, you just happened to an unpopular opinion.

Second, Excuse me for not checking the thread every hour, it hasn't been more than what, two, three, maybe about four hours at most.... Dead? You've decided we can no longer talk about the space issue? Well I've decided I can. Problem?

But the worst thing that I've come to terms with is some self-awareness of wanting to keep these sorrows around. I'll be moping on my bed and realize that this entire charade is completely silly and ridiculous. All my fears and problems are petty little things that I am holding onto in a desperate grab for... I dunno actually. Probably some feeling of inadequacy that would somehow be filled by having problems to show off and be acknowledged.

I don't know how common or not it is, but I understand what you're saying.  Not to be insulting but, it's angst.  You feel genuinely bad and have genuine anxiety about genuine problems in your life, but you feel like it would be petty to consider what are ultimately just a host of small problems to be that big a deal compared to anyone or anything else.  And all I can say is, don't think about it that way.  Your life is your own, and whatever's bothering you in your life is a real problem.  Just because you know that out there in the world are other people dealing with stuff you think is less petty doesn't make yours any less real.

I don't know what the best way is to just bring them up, but friends and real relatives will always acknowledge your problems if you bring them out.  That's what they're there for.

As for the specifics, the stuttering and social anxiety is hard to cure, I know.  I was never bad with stuttering, but I tend to when I'm excited or tired; I just try to be really deliberate when I'm talking, which has the added benefit of making you sound sophisticated and commanding.  The anxiety, well, that's harder.  People I'm familiar with I communicate with easier, so when talking to unfamiliar people, I just remember that they're nowhere near as attentive to me and my inner conversation and panics as they are to their own lives.  You are never as important to a conversation as you think you are.  So once I'm convinced I'm not being judged, I just make a conscious effort at being witty an personable, or just prompt things so someone else can talk for a while, and soon enough there's no awkwardness at all.

Inadequacy... I'm not going to try to get into your head, but if I had to guess, I'd guess that having a brother who's getting married in another country, and father who belittles you as often as it sounds, would make anyone who is on top all that just getting started with the grand mindfuck of college feel very inadequate about their small place in life.  There's nothing wrong or unnatural about feeling that way.  I think that's one of those kinds of problems isn't so much beating you up itself (using a general "you" here), as it is about the fact that it exists when you think it shouldn't beats you up.  And as such, once you stop thinking the feeling shouldn't be there, it'll almost feel like it isn't, because you're not anxious about it.

And everyone has every right to feel distraught over losing a dog, especially a young one to an accident.  My father is a full grown man, and after his dog died a slow death after a full life, just talking about dogs would make him almost inconsolable for more than year.  We wouldn't keep dogs around if we didn't care about them.

The bad streak is going on, after spending some 12 hours in the blistering heat tied to a seat with no AC traveling to do something that takes some 20 minutes of filling out forms i am freaking tired.So i go out with some friends, good friends, the kind i would pretty much do anything for.After i get there i learn that one of them is probably leaving for Germany tommorrow for an unspecified amount of time.Now, i am trying to be happy for her, i really am, but when something like this is told to me hours before it happens (it was uncertain but she knew about it for some two months now) i can't help but feel a little bit betrayed, i mean, if i have no problem sharing stuff i am doing and plan to do no matter how ridicilous it is i could atleast be let in on some stuff, because right now i feel like i am just there as a comic relief, learning about important stuff moments before it happens.
I do realize this seems a bit selfish but damn it i have known these people for some four years now, they could atleast tell me when they are planning to leave for a far away place for god knows how long.

And i have a feeling i won't be sleeping tonight, despite the exhaustion and lack of sleep.

Also fucking Massive attack and Teardrop aren't helping one bit but i can't help but listen to that song for three days straight now.

All right.  That's it.  I don't want to be 21 anymore, and I never want to deal with this wankish foolish fangirling ever again.

And I also hate remembering social instructions from other people whispered into my head as I remember back to what they said two years ago, when things were young and they were still willing to explain to the girl "too stupid to learn."

But it's useful.

So I guess I'm still glad for it.

Even if I'm still wondering what the next instruction would have been.

Painstakingly removed all that dust from my computer.
SO MUCH DUST IT LITERALLY BLOCKS OFF THE WHOLE COOLING FAN WHAT.
Shitty part is, there was barely any improvement on my inability to play any more than one of my steam games without worrying about the entire damn computer freezing up for me to yank it out of the wall and replug and reboot, that one game being Terraria.

Dust just equals Extra heat, which slightly degrades performance. if its freezing up, its probably something else.

Most likely is, can't isolate anything that I'd not have to go out for and/or pay for that could fix it unfortunately.

A year at the most, except the video card which is probably a few years. It's still higher grade than the integrated but driver deleted one, and has all it's drivers updated too.
