I don't intend to since it seems to create or attract that kind of behavior, homestuck in general I mean. I don't wanna associate myself with that kind of behavior or people...

: (

I've seen more or less the entirety of the Homestuck community, from my experience I find it very benign in general. The forums for MSPA even has it's own little subsection for life advice, where people can talk and receive very good and reassuring advice about their emotional or social problems. There's even a thread within that thread where distraught users can talk to people on a 1 on 1 basis who've had experiences similar to their own. It's very, very touching stuff, and I'm not a man easily touched.

Except by puppies, but they're not people they don't count.

Firefox is becoming nearly unusable due to constant random freezes. Roughly every 5-10 mintes, Firefox will lock up completely for thirty to sixty secodns.

This. So very much this.

[Reudh]

For me it's usually shortly after computer boot-up when it freezes, or when I have a few tabs open that require user input (typing, etc.). Not every five to ten minutes though. I've got 7.01 but it is no different to 4.0 performance wise, that i've seen. Oh well, disabling all my unused addons is probably a good idea.

My sleep schedule is so screwed up I'm not even sure what to do about it really.

So why use it? Chrome(ium) or IE both work better these days.


Yes, even IE is better than firefox now. I know it had serious issues in the past, but it is all better now. Stop your bitching fan boys.

IE still has some quirks which infuriate my apparently easily pissed off self.

Its called "i like nice memory and lots of free cores to use"

Welp. Guess who's at the hospital again. Though just keeping someone company. Also don't seem to have a place to plug this thing in. Boooo.

Edit: Does anyone know if I'd be allowed to use one of those red outlets? Since there's one right above my head and I'm unsure.

Be prepared to unplug it immediately if told to, but I say use it until someone tells you not to.

[Vattic]

That's true enough; I had forgotten all about that.

About what?

I just went back, reread, and now realise I wasn't at all clear. I was agreeing with you about the lottery trick and saying that I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. It was disappointing. I blame being minutes from bed.

My sleep schedule is so screwed up I'm not even sure what to do about it really.

I know how you feel roughly at least. I keep waking after only four hours and finding it impossible to get back to sleep for another two. It's happened four days in a row now and without any regard to how tired I am before sleep.

[Vector]

Yup.  I'm exhausted, too, and I want nothing more than to go home.  I really don't want to be here anymore.

Looking back on it, that year I had off was one of the better ones of my life.  The tension of "I need to go back to school, I need to go back to school" spoiled some of it emotionally, but when I could calm down and rest... yeah, that's one of the best things I did.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

blegh, feeling really worried now.

Birthdays cease being fun once you're out of your twenties. 

[Vector]

Mine have frankly always been pretty sucky.  My birthday is too close to Christmas.  It's always "Okay, Vector, we're giving you these things and we want to know what you need/want when," and sure, it's great to have presents, but I never exactly had enough friends to get together a party and the surprise was always ruined.  And then, when you get to dating age, it's always "okay, is whoever I'm dating going to remember this?"  Because there isn't anyone else to laugh it off with (cf. not enough friends to celebrate).  And maybe they get it right only after you stop dating, and what's supposed to happen then?  You're already too angry... you want to shout "what, you have to dump me and hear me shouting at you then in order to get the idea that maybe saying 'no, I just don't care about that stuff because it's irrational' might be hurtful?"

Blurgh.

Now that I'm older I can see that he was right about a lot of things (not some of his comportment, but whatever--that's not what I'm talking about); maybe for what I'd now call the wrong reasons, but they were still right.  Part of me wishes so badly that I could turn back time.  The other part of me knows that it would just go badly again in a different way.  Or that I could turn back time and not do the stupid, angry things I did near the end, and see who he is now and if it would be okay now.

I want to say "Hey, look, I'm not crazy anymore... see?"

But that's already putting me in a posture of supplication, which was the entire problem in the first place.  It's okay to do that, but not when it's wielded over you like a weapon.  I don't want to be in that place ever again.  I don't like the power relation where I bend to not someone who is bending with me, but to ruling force.

It's just too late.  I'm tired of writing love letters into the ether.

Like my mom always says, when someone says "I hate you!" while crying, it pretty much always actually says "I love you, so come back."

Oh, well.  Too late... always has been, always will be.

[Vector]

Oh, and sorry for the double-post, but the topic is so different that it seems necessary:

That set theory grader I've been complaining about--remember him?

Well, he's been deported.  He was an undocumented immigrant.  I'd like to say "look, he was a mathematician in training.  That should be all the documentation he needs."  In "our country," he was a native-born citizen.  And so, in so many senses, he has been unlawfully removed from the second country of my birth.
