Watching that newish Hulk movie, and I'm kinda disappointed because of how little damage there was to the normal humans he tangoed with.

Right? I know the guy he fought was supposed to be some kind of badass normal but the Hulk is a bit heavier than a tank. >.>

Well yeah, but honestly I think I don't watch the Hulk movies with the right mindset. I enjoy Hulk smashing things, and not puny emotional relationships like he usually gets trapped with.

[Pnx]

Hi guys...

Spoiler: wall o' text (click to show/hide)

I'm back, I kinda spent a few months away from the forums to clear my head and try to deal with some stuff, but it's kind of reached the point where I don't feel it's really helping me much at all right now.

I'm not going to lie the past four months or so have been pretty fantastically shit. My brother came over for a visit over Christmas, which led to a pretty massive bucketful of family drama, I was forced to get a bad haircut, then when installing windows 7 on the new solid state hard drive I got for Christmas (something my brother insisted I should do), my brother accidentally lost the piece of writing I was working on... Which is frankly something I feel like I should have seen coming considering I hadn't kept any backups, though given I was getting the feeling I wouldn't be able to finish it anyway...

Some of the friends I've been making at school are proving themselves to be pretty nice and well intentioned, but honestly pretty poor friends. I've found myself being pressured into doing things I really don't want to be doing, like dating someone who may or may not have a thing for me but who I really don't want to date, or consuming various types of drugs to deal with my depression. Though mind you it hasn't been all bad. There's been some good moments too. And I somehow wound up joining the print club, which may lead to me churning out more artwork done in my classically awful style.

I've been feeling incredibly demoralized and unfulfilled recently, which has made it pretty damn hard to do school work. I dropped my physics class because frankly the teacher was one of the worst teachers I've ever had. The psych class I'm taking also requires me to basically write one short paper a week, which isn't that bad I suppose, but I'm horrible at writing papers, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to pull it off.

I'm also feeling like I just don't understand the calc work I'm doing at all. I'm trying to, but it's just not clicking together very well, I feel like I'm missing bits and pieces that I need to really get that comprehension I need. Though maybe it will come with time. a lot of things in calc 1 only made sense to me towards the end of the semester.

There's been a lot of bad weather, I don't mind a bit of cold and snow, but this is seriously way too much for me. We've had some frozen pipes, and this has led to dishwasher issues... I really hate having to clean up other people's messes, especially when they're ones that could be easily avoided, but it seems to be something I do quite a lot... The rest of my family can be kind of slovenly, and it has seriously gotten pretty bad sometimes, especially in the kitchen, a few weeks back I realized the vegetable drawer had not been cleaned in goodness knows how long, and some kind of putrid brown liquid was sitting at the bottom of the drawer.

I've also been trying to work on the whole moving out thing, but no real progress has been made, I'm still feeling frightened as hell about the entire thing, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to overcome my agoraphobia issues. My mother is... being my mother. I discovered some time back that she had in fact not been reading my forum posts as I thought, but had actually been grilling my friends for information behind my back, hence how she was learning all that stuff I didn't want her knowing. Which was sort of a relief. She's also been opening my letters and censoring them apparently, there was this whole card against humanity 12 days of christmas thing that my brother got for me, she opened it and took great objection to the contents, which I can sort of understand, but I'd really rather she wasn't vetting my mail.

And that's really all I can think of right now.

I got my first college admissions decisions letter.

Today, I won't be posting in the Happy Thread.

The fact that 1000 people applied for 64 seats makes me feel better. Sorta.

And I was really hoping to attend that school, too.

[Yoink]

My forehead is too tall.

* LordSlowpoke gets the chainsaw.

Let's fix that, then.

anyway, a pianist has apparently made it their sole goal in life to make me sad for as long as they live and probably even longer considering we're in the age of digital records but then also ensured their music is beautiful enough that while i know it makes me sad i get right back to it and get even more fucking sad

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm afraid I barely glanced at this the first time, but I felt bad, so I've come back to comment.

I'm also feeling like I just don't understand the calc work I'm doing at all. I'm trying to, but it's just not clicking together very well, I feel like I'm missing bits and pieces that I need to really get that comprehension I need. Though maybe it will come with time. a lot of things in calc 1 only made sense to me towards the end of the semester.

I was in the exact same position last semester. My grade began to drop alarmingly, but I tried to muscle through it alone. That was the worst decision I made in 2013. The second I got help, my grade started climbing. Your college probably offers free/cheap tutoring/study help. USE IT.

I dropped my physics class because frankly the teacher was one of the worst teachers I've ever had. The psych class I'm taking also requires me to basically write one short paper a week, which isn't that bad I suppose, but I'm horrible at writing papers, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to pull it off.

A. That was a smart thing to do, by the sounds of it. If you aren't learning, you're wasting everyone's time. B. What exactly do you struggle with when writing essays?

I've also been trying to work on the whole moving out thing, but no real progress has been made, I'm still feeling frightened as hell about the entire thing, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to overcome my agoraphobia issues.

Well, as someone who has been bored out my mind by presentations about mental health awareness and suicide prevention, I can say with confidence that your school has mental health professionals that will help you. Remember what I said about tutors? The same applies to counselling. Use it. I believe that... Vector? has just started getting help, with great results.

My mother is... being my mother. She's also been opening my letters and censoring them apparently, there was this whole card against humanity 12 days of Christmas thing that my brother got for me, she opened it and took great objection to the contents, which I can sort of understand, but I'd really rather she wasn't vetting my mail.

While [it sounds like] you are living in her house, you're an adult, and she has no business touching your mail. Also, it's a federal offense to open another person's mail, so... there's that. Just going to leave it there.

Hi guys... I'm back, I kinda spent a few months away from the forums to clear my head and try to deal with some stuff, but it's kind of reached the point where I don't feel it's really helping me much at all right now.

Hi! I don't believe we've met before! I'm My Name is Immaterial, a random person on the internet who has given you advice you didn't really ask for. It's nice to meet you!

Always remember that you've got a bunch of people sitting behind computer screens hoping that everything goes well for you.

Bay12 is always here for you, Pnx. Even if I suck at advice. I sympathize with the familial issues you're having, though.

[Jopax]

Welcome back dude

Hopefully stuff works out for you.

My sad isn't that big, but it's somewhat WTF-y
Basically, I was talking about headphones with my roommate yesterday, and said how pleasantly suprised I am with my current generic Nokia phones, that they're quite old and still in pretty damn good condition, as in, working perfectly.
This morning, as I'm leaving the house the right one starts breaking up and eventually falls silent :I

I agree. You were awesome to us and we'll be awesome back

Called my sweetheart the other day and found out her schedule keeps her busy from early in the morning to late in the afternoon, with apparently no break in between. The means no more having lunch with her, since I don't know if she even has time during the day for lunch... though I hope she does, if nothing else so that she's not missing a meal during the day.

Worse still, I asked if she would at least be around on Valentine's Day, but she said she didn't have classes that day*. That means my original plan of surprising her with flowers and chocolates is shot. Although I do know where she lives, that's not the kind of thing I feel comfortable giving to her in front of her reasonably protective parents, especially her very reasonably protective father. Any other ideas?


* I didn't specifically say Valentine's Day, though. I simply asked if she'd be there on Friday three weeks from now. I hope she got the idea I wanted to see her that day.

[Vector]

Write some romantic poetry and give it to her in a nice envelope.

[Descan]

Are you one of the singers on the board?

If so, record a short video of a serenade, and give it to her in a USB drive.

If not, record a short video of a serenade, and give it to her in a USB drive. I'm sure it'll get a good laugh out of her.

[Eric Blank]

Well, we're getting evicted from this house for being late on the rent. Fun.
