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

This.
Then again I readily admit to being a stick in the mud.

[kaijyuu]

Now, there ARE a few things I'd consider fun that could get me arrested, but pretty much all of them fall under "public indecency" laws.

[Owlbread]

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.

I haven't felt that way since I was 8 years old.

Don't worry Owlbread. Soon the People's Republic of Scotland will abolish all law and order, and you'll be able to shoot your great-great-great-grandfather's crossbow at Englishmen while high on PCP once again.

Can't Englishmen legally shoot any Scotsmen they see with a bow in one of the cities in northern Anglia already?

Any Scotsmen? Even those of the fake variety?

I'm afraid not, they have to be Welsh and they absolutely must be carrying a bow. I wish we had a law like that.

I love it. I must strive to achieve this goal.

Yup. Can't quite remember where, but many odd bylaws remain here. I mean, it's illegal to put a stamp of the queen upside down, or to die in the houses of parliament. It's also illegal to carry corpses in London cab.
And in Scotland, it is illegal to be both drunk and leading a cow.
Oh, and it is specifically illegal to set off a nuke.

I could've sworn there was another clause about it being on a specific week day too.

Things aren't much better in the U.S, in Kansas pedestrians are supposed to wear tail lights. Naturally many of these stupid laws aren't enforced.

I WILL BE SAD WHEN THIS IS NO LONGER THE LAST POST!

AND NOW I AM SAD

[Shakerag]

I enjoy causing sadness.

I think it might have been Sunday. And putting the queen upside down is not just illegal, it's treason.

The Russian club at my university is trying to find a good color scheme for its T-Shirts. I suggested getting a bulk discount with Italian club but this proposal, alas, was tabled.

[Mr Space Cat]

I felt a tingly feeling on my arm, so I instinctively swat at it after I had seen a mosquito flying around.

My arm started tingling more. I look to see what I swatted, and I had critically injured a teeny weeny little spiderbro, who was now having his teeny weeny tingly little death throes on my arm. He was now practically dying in my arms.

Spiderbro, noooooooo. I didn't know it was you! What have I done. D:

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.

This... made me sad today. My best wishes, hope stuff will work out for you.
