There's a great solution to this one. Go to bing translator and tell it to translate from english to english, then enter the url and hit translate. It's a fairly shitty proxy, but it's almost never blocked because it's a legitimate translator. It's how I check the forums here while I'm supposed to be doing classwork :P

It makes me sad that so many people though Russell Crowe's singing in Les Mis was bad. In fact I think he's really underrated in that role, that's one of the best Javerts I've heard.

Full disclosure, I thought he was a better Javert than Jackman was Valjean.

To me, comparing Russell to either Quast or the man who played Javert in the 25th anniversary concert is what makes the difference. For the record, I also disliked Jack as Valjean from his very first teaser trailer :P

Hey, going through a similar thing right now, though with no real romantic component - randomly met an old (like way back) classmate who just started studying philosophy here at their freshmen bar crawl, and subsequently invited her (via facebook) to a mathematician's party. Very soon afterwards, she posts (openly visible) that she will have internet access "only sporadically" and thus may take a long time to reply to stuff. WTF thread material, but just so you know - nobody's special, especially in this regard :3
I feel we speak from different platforms and perspectives. I appreciate your positivity, but it's usefulness is debatable to me.
I just need to block everything out right now so I can prepare for work with a clear head.
I feel you might be overestimating your current plight.
Not meaning any offense, I don't really know you, I'm just saying it's not a good idea to ignore potentially good advice.

Yeah, and I'm saying the difference between me and Helgoland is that I don't exist in a freshman prawl. I don't have old classmates I can speak with eye to eye. I've never been to a party once, let alone something as quaintly niche as a Mathematician's Party... I'm a 24 year old grown ass fucking virgin with a job that consists of 7 hours of sitting in a room by myself, then going home and spending the remaining 17 hours sitting in a room by myself. My recent adventures include spending a solid two days building up the guts to send a single text message, and then being almost brought to tears over the fact that she's not interested in talking to me at all. The only friends I have are the ones I can barely ever speak with online over Mumble, cause our mutual interests are slowly but surely inching away from eachother, and my night schedule means we're practically never awake at the same time.  It seems more and more that my daily life is just a desperate struggle with my mind to eek out the smallest motivation to do anything.

So I'm sorry if I feel like living life is the same as being trapped in an awful dream I can't wake up from.

So, as I was enrolling for another semester of college online, I find that I have been blocked from the system and thus cannot enroll. I've been trying to contact the school since, to no avail.

School shooting by a middle-school student two days ago, and today another dead teacher in a Boston suburb, and a 14-year old in custody as the homicide suspect.

The more coverage they get, the more often they happen, thus getting more coverage.

I don't know, maybe some other generations took away our prospects and allowed our mental health to suffer.

But really, who would ever do something like that?

Someone with too much attention-whoredom and too little conscience.

Welp, I realized for the first time today the cool stuff I can't do anymore because I can be tried as an adult in a court of law.
Growing up sucks.

Huh. I never felt anything like that for the past three months and a day ever since I'm 18. But then again, I hate fun.

Personally, I don't define "fun" as "things that can get me arrested and tried as an adult in a court of law."

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
