If only we could all learn Max's ways. Both facepunching and other stuff.
I'll teach just about anything in exchange for either money or other skills that I don't know. :P

Damn, I don't think I have either :(

Unless for some reason you have an interest in romhacking.

Can't go home. Can't do anything but look at forums on phone. It's getting late and I'm going deaf.

I relate on the first part of this random blog oh so much.

And it hurts. I am such a doormat, I have no opinions on my own. I'm a blank slate, ready to assimilate all the positives and negatives of everyone I come into contact with, like a black hole. I yearn to become something everyone sees as a paragon of goodness and loyalty. I yearn to, but I don't have to. I am aware of this fact, at least.

But like drug addictions, it's hard to get over old habits, kicking in whenever it feels like ruining yourself, gradually sending me down to a pit of despair. I have to get out of this ditch soon, what with the other people taking advantage of my knowledge and wealth.

I have to stop being "Me", and become Me. The real self. This is my pledge for the next semester. I need to do this. Discovering myself.

This whole problem came from knowing absolutely nothing. In my search for knowledge, I have lowered my defenses and allowed myself to become altered. I am not myself anymore. I have to revert.

I need to.

I must.

A week ago, my younger sister was in a very bad accident while moving up here. Her boyfriend was killed, and she lost the baby she was carrying. So, I had to take a week from work to stay home while my mom and stepdad went down to see her. My stepdad came home last night, and my mom said she'll stay "until she's a whole lot better"(originally, she said next Wednesday).

The good news is that she's recovering extraordinarily fast, given what happened, although she's still on a ventilator, and they're holding off telling exactly what happened(like, her boyfriend and baby) at least until she can fully breathe on her own.

I don't know much else about the accident except the 27' truck they were driving flipped over and they were both ejected. How a truck flips over that hard, I don't know.

When my sister moved out last summer, she took my spare ps2 and about a dozen each of my PS1 and PS2 games, not counting the ones that she arbitrarlily claimed as hers. I finally demanded all this back in lieu of the large amount of money I won't be getting back from her lazy ass (she lost her welfare because she couldn't be bothered to attend the required 20 hours or so a month.) She brought me four games (according to her, the rest were stolen in a break-in, but I suspect she was selling them for her inexplicable cigarette money) and the PS2, which is broken.  It won't read most discs, and there's a strange chittering when I turn it on that I hope is just the fan going bad. I seriously don't know if I should trash it or keep it for parts (or HD loading the games). I'm just glad that my parents have her kid.

Very much agree you need to do just that, man :) Good luck.

Holy fuck man, that's horrible D: Massive sympathies to your sister, your family, you, and her boyfriend's family.

PS2 emulation's gotten pretty good, assuming you have a relatively modern computer. So it's not a total loss, at least if you're just interested in playing the games.

I've got a slim already, though I did want the fat's hard drive capability and reliability. The big issue is that turning a rugged piece of hardware into crap in just a few months and having to pawn someone else's shit to get cash is a pretty nasty indicator of how badly she's fucked up her life. If she wasn't couch surfing and mooching, things wouldn't have gotten screwed up like that.

That's...seriously fucked, man. You have my sympathies. All of them.

Now I feel like a douche for coming here to post about an ingrown fingernail.

I think it qualifies as the second most distressing thing that I read in this thread since joining.

Not that I have any qualifications for judging that, but I can't be too far off.

Don't. Those things suck :P Not as much as a horrific car accident, but yeah. Feeling bad because others have it worse is No Good.
