[Benevolence]

Being a prince is fine, but don't get turned into a car.

It feels like three of my four classes are deliberately piling work onto me over this and the next week. The real problem is because half of it is entirely my fault being so slow to get some of it done. Whee, procrastination~

Also, the avatar change thing would be a site that lets it rotate. I think. That, or it's an animated PNG? Those are things that exist, but I haven't seen them very often at all.

Is that an... Utena reference?

[Benevolence]

Yes, very much so.

Yet another thing I need to rewatch at some point, because I don't even remember when I first watched it and most of it probably went right over my head...

Thanks, seriously.  One of my oldest friends was an Utena nut when she was younger, so you gave me this really nice wave of nostalgia.

[Lysabild]

I don't even know, why am I here again? *Peers around the place.*

[scriver]

If you dislike it so much, why post?

[Lysabild]

If you are going to interpret my post as a negative comment on the forum, why post?

*Shrugs.*

The things that one ponders and the ways one feels when browsing here made me feel big time 'meh :<' and I felt like posting in the Sad Thread to get it out of my system, even if it doesn't really help.

Christ, why am I even bothering.

2 people confirmed dead in the flooding so far, a 25 year old police officer from Wicklow and a woman from Dublin.

I thought you were also an Utena fan?  It really does seem like the perfect thing for you (gender and empowerment issues galore).

Also, have you seen Scott Pilgrim vs The World?  It's basically Utena done waaay differently, but with swords being pulled out of chests and everything.

[Vector]

Nah, I've never been much of an Utena fan.  I just know about it.  It's an interesting show, but the animation quality/style really bugged me.

If you liked that, though, it was based on a manga called "Rose of Versailles."  I haven't read much of that, either, but it seemed pretty entertaining.


I really want to graduate from here and go to grad school somewhere far away.  Everything is too close.

You know how it is when you're an immature kid, and some older group of kids lets you tag along for a while, but then you make a mistake and you aren't allowed to come along anymore, ever?

Yeah, that'd be basically how I feel.  I wish I knew how to stop making these mistakes.

[Bauglir]

In my experience, which isn't much, it's to keep making them until you run out of mistakes to make. Or, possibly, you may prefer a route that doesn't involve maximum failure, in which case I'd recommend looking for a group of older kids that's old enough to tolerate a few errors, remembering themselves what it was like. Either way, though, I'm sure you'll make i-

Oh man, I just noticed your sub-avatar text, that is great. >_______>

[kaijyuu]

You'll never stop making mistakes. The trick is to find friends that won't judge you for them.

And yes, they exist, even if you haven't found them yet.

[Vector]

Oh, I dunno.  I'm changing.

I no longer look at B's as the scourge of me, or anything like that.  I made a lot of mistakes at the beginning of this semester that make it much harder to succeed now.  And so, I need to live with them.  Trying overly hard to compensate for them is kind of foolish.  You have to go along and get what you can get, not spend sleepless night after night just forgetting everything you learn.  Or at least, I can't remember a damned thing without sleep.

It's just dawning me that I'm about to be 5/8 done with my college career, and I still feel like I know nothing.

I think understanding this is the most important part of higher education.  If you don't come away from the experience humbled, you didn't really learn.
