So long as it is the truth you believe in right?

If there's a solid argument for it, I'll listen to it.

There is a very solid argument that I am envious of Thyme.  The arguments I dislike tend to not have very strong logical underpinnings.

But I'm sure you already knew that.


Why... thank you, Barbarossa!  I'm always glad when my life makes a turn for the bizarre >_<


People who are good at household things always make me feel like a little kid, in comparison.  I don't even know why.  I can cook and hostess and clean.  I'm not a little kid.  I may be clumsy, but I'm not a stupid kid.

I'm being petty, and I don't even understand why.

Having free time to doodle aside, today was saddening. I realized that I haven't played my Baritone Horn in almost a month due to my mom working nightshift and thus sleeping for almost every one of my waking moments.

So I decided to punch sadness in the face and work on music theory and composition. Therefore I wrote a two-part harmony of the Nyan Cat music for Baritone Horn, one part in treble clef and the other in bass clef. And I am going to practice this so hard when I can. 16th notes at the top of my TC range, and learning bass clef at all. Woop!

PS: It seems I forgot to cut out the silence at the beginning and end. It starts a few seconds in, don't worry.

I'm tired. I'm tired of single-handedly managing and building a project, while at the same time trying to tutor morons on the basics of a class diagram. My leadership strategies have collapsed into nothing more than 'Yes, that is very well done, go have a cookie!' then redoing the work myself because it is so substandard it isn't even worth fixing.

I hate new teams. I put to much effort into teaching the last guys how to do all the paper work, and then they are all ripped away from me.

Everyone treating me so nicely here makes me think that I didn't do anything wrong, and I am an Okay Sort Of Gal.

You're not an Okay Sort Of Gal. You're a Terminally Awesome Sort Of Gal. And I know several people who had seemingly rushed and/or "uproot" (where they moved to Australia, Japan, China, etc. to be with the other person) relationships that have turned out well. You're still young and have way more time to worry about that sort of thing later. If it's any consolation, I have a good friend who was so not-dating anyone for so long that I had pretty much assumed he would die a bachelor. He's very introverted, geeky, an English major, etc. Then bam...out of nowhere, he meets this girl, they're deliriously happy, get married after a year or so, and they're still an awesome couple. Sometimes it just takes time.

She's like the total success story of nerdy femininity or something.  Plays D&D, speaks 5 languages (Korean, English, Chinese, French, Japanese; I'm being nice in including French, though.), plays video games, knows internet culture front and back, linguistics major, possesses breasts, enjoys cleaning, enjoys dressing up femmey and looking "naturally photoshopped," enjoys spending loads of time cooking for other people, wants to have a huge brood of genius children.

What the fuck ;_;  How did this even happen.


Nice for her but please, if it's not who YOU are, please don't yield to social pressure and feel bad about it.
You've got goals, achieve them. Yours, not those that other people think you should have.

You seems nice, as far as I can say by reading your posts, don't think less of yourself because you are not comfortable/don't like all that much being around peoples.

Perhaps the best course of action is to really look at why we value parts of our personality after we recognize that something painful and draining is coming from it.

See, I'm generally proud of who I am and what I do.

I just can't imagine being anyone's "dream."  It scares me a little.

...why wouldn't you be anyone's dream? O.o You're an intelligent, driven, (and dare I say,) cute, young lady with an actual dream and direction in life.

I seem to fall into a sort of calamity as well.  I don't think I'll ever be able to fully connect with anybody around me.  I think I've tried before when I was younger however at some point I stopped even bothering to mention any interests I have because I already know it won't interest anybody, heh.  Instead I usually remained quite and made any comment when pushed upon.  I portrayed the image of some successful child who has made all the right decisions in life (no smoking, no drinking, no drugs, no swearing, daily healthy routine, proper speaking, good grades, successful career onward to college, uh etc etc) with proud parents and family however I can't say this is very enjoyable at all.  I always wondered why other students had the motivation to not do their school work or to drink and smoke weed and now I'm pretty confident I know why.  It's not very fun to do anything I'm doing.  I realized I didn't enjoy doing school work probably half way through High School however I kept doing that anyway and I got some money and a medal for it!  Does it make me happy?  No.

Also, since I am growing up into a young adult now I am "allowed" to see the more adult side of my family if that makes sense.  When I went up to Maine last week I continued to see my family behaving differently from what I can remember.  I had always thought of my Dad as some Greek God who knew everything there was to know about anything however in reality I really know that all the facts and knowledge he has is from the History Channel and word of mouth.  Also, since I am an "adult" other adults will now constantly swear and openly discuss activities like smoking weed or something.  I've probably saw my Dad prepare more "bulbs" or whatever you call them more times last week than I have ever seen in my life.  I know this shouldn't bother me and I say it doesn't bother me but seeing my Dad do everything I've promised not to do is kinda disheartening because it makes me realize I don't have any role models besides myself.

I guess I should bad mouth my Mother and Step-Dad because they aggravate me too.  The two have no ability to manage money and are poor in economics.  I feel too educated sometimes and I know sounding arrogant is a bad trait but bear with me.  Besides not being able to pay for the house I've lived in for probably a decade they still spend loads of money on cigarettes and gambling.  Tons and tons of gambling, they go to the casino almost weekly.  I suppose it could be enjoyment for them but it is too costly and expensive.  I try my best not to over spend any money and here are my own parents wasting more money per day then I spend in a month.  You can't even say they pay for the bills anymore because we're at our Grandmother's!  The only thing they pay regularly is to my Grandmother because they have the decency for that at least since we use up water and electricity and such.  My parents are so immature too!  My Mom and Step-Dad always get into arguments over the most trivial subjects and they act childish.  Like my Mom will ignore him and it was even so bad at one point (when I lived at my old house) that the cops came quite frequently.  I have no idea how I grew up to become who I am when I'm surrounded by a family like this, if you can call it a family.  The only thing I like about my parents is that they're nice people to me.  I'm not sure if it's because I do well publicly but I can never imagine my Mother or Father ever hurting me or rejecting me.  They just make all the wrong choices everywhere.

I'll probably get more friends when I go to college.

Hmmm, when I was at the cabin in Maine I was mostly with my Dad's parents the entire time.  On a positive note I learned the two are really funny people and a successful couple since they've been married for quite a long time.  I'm sad to say this is one of the few couples I actually know.  It's like nobody can ever get along with each other or something.  They still have traits that aggravate me but I guess everybody will right.  When I came home my Pepere wanted me to come over to hang out anytime I wanted to so that's nice.  I just feel like everybody is pressuring me to do everything though.  Must maintain social contact with everybody at all times and also do everything I am "suppose to" while nobody else does.



Oh, and I guess lastly I should mention I think it's funny some people have impressions still that I am an offbeat, positive, aloof person because I can only see the very latter as true.  And even so it just disappoints me and feels wrong like everything else because I am clearly showing my feelings here.

I spy a contradiction somewhere.

I really can't speak for Vector, but I certainly can understand it.

I really can't say if it was his idea, but the first person that I read an explanation from, was Paul Watzlawick.
Basically, you believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with a person, who is able to love you.

My own sadness:
Crushing feeling of inferiority.
Angry at my own spinelessness.
Overwhelming class-consciousness.

You continue doing well Toon. Like I said much earlier, life is just getting started, and you'll find things become much, much more pleasant when you become independent, and you can control all the details of your life instead of feeling like it's being inflicted on you.

I'm afraid if I was able to control my life I would be in a much grimmer position.

Nah, sounds like you're doing alright for yourself, Toonybro. Keep your head (and morals and standards) up, keep moving forward, and you'll get to where you want to go.
