I realized I've never been invited to hang out with anyone, so I have literally no idea what it is people do outside of school. I really, really hate my younger-self for avoiding people when I was younger. I'm not sure I can stress that enough in mere words.

Same. Do they ... do homework? Go start fights? Complain on forums about not knowing what to do?

I have this problem as well, but in my experience they seem to just stand around staring blankly at each other while these strange orifices on their head move about and make these peculiar, unintelligible noises.

Either that or they attempt to meld their faces with the nearest electronic device. Yes, I'm aware of the irony

Huh. Have you tried communing with them yet?

I tried, but I couldn't understand a single noise they made.

Just going on about their "twatters" "facedesk" and "instacups", some strange sounding phrases like "lol" and "omg", plus a massive over-use of the word like.

I don't think I get along with others my age that well. Not sure what "miring" means either. I'm serious about this one, google just responds with swamp related pages.

Communication is overrated.

I have never been more upset at a piece of programming in my lfe.

My Mom decides to take her computer troubles into her own hands, and despite the fact that she knows nothing at all about computers, went and bought a small acer laptop with Windows 8 installed on it.

I've quickly come to discover that Windows 8 is the most streamlined, handholding piece of trash I have ever personally laid eyes upon. This OS feels like an abusive captor that is holding the computer hostage, but it speaks a different goddamn langauge from me so I can't even negotiate with it, I have to use sweeping and obvious hand gestures to get the simplest ideas across, and even then there's egregious misunderstandings.

Why's it so different from Window 7? Like, I've worked with computers my whole life, but I can't wrap my head around this nonsense. I'm so utterly frustrated with this piece of trash software, and with my Mom for not consulting with me first.

To be mired in something is to be slowed down by it, or swamped by it.

If I am "mired" in homework, I am "swamped" by it. I have a lot of it.

That's what I thought at first, but it wouldn't make sense in the context it was used.

Though Urban Dictionary cleared it up for me:

I hang out with people. It's vastly overrated, except when it's not. Like when it's someone you want to/get to have sexytimes with. Or when it's a person whom makes peculiar unintelligible noises that I happen to like more than the peculiar unintelligible noises those other people make. Or when it's a combination of both of those. Which is the greatest thing ever.

Yeah, I can't really help you if someone's using it stupidly.

3DS taps here:

Does anyone else ever get it to where they're so sad that their mental processes start to slow down?

Like it's even worse when you can physically feel yourself slipping further and further down, the pit in your chest getting deeper and deeper, and alongside it the thoughts in your head are getting rounder, smoother, simpler... I just feel the human mind is designed to destroy itself sometimes.

People say Windows 8 actually makes sense on tablet PCs and touchscreen laptops, like Window's Surface Pro.

I don't know. Whenever I dink around with tablets, I just get red in the face I'm so angry and frustrated. My sister got an android tablet, and the UI of this thing was designed from the ground up to give me instant headaches. If, god forbid, I want to do something simple with one of these things, my more than a decade of tech experience is completely useless!

It irritates me so thoroughly that anyone in their right mind could think that the ideal method of streamlining is to completely preempt the users desires, and to design the interface like a Fisher Price toy to cater to these utterly shallow assumptions!

I just want to be able to use the tools I've grown up learning to use to do what I want when I have a perfectly good computer in my hands, rather than have them slapped out of my hands by some designer cause he thinks he knows whats best for the customer!

I'm just disgusted by all this, I swear.

"Holding the computer hostage" is a good metaphor. The UEFI partition system makes it hard to install alternative OS without taking drastic measures. Such as disabling it in it's entirety.

Apparently I dozed off in the middle of doing a thing with one of my friends online last night.

I feel just.... Awful. Going off unexpectedly like that. On top of that I'm just sick of my sleep schedule turning self destructive like this. I'm going to bed too damn early in the night, and still waking up too early to even be rested.

I need to fix this, since I don't have time in the day to do some things I need to study and otherwise work on during the actual afternoon and night hours. So if this keeps up I'm gonna be even less productive than usual and that's really fucking saying something.

This is why i don't want to get into programming. They keep pulling the rug out from under you.
