Hey now - anger is a totally valid emotion to feel. You can't just say "feel emotions but god forbid you get angry!" That's just silly... And how it used to be for society.

It's really more how that anger is expressed that's really terrible and shitty. Which is why adults are bad at it right now because they were never taught how to properly handle anger.

I think that's what Kal is saying but the wording got messed up. How it is expressed and used--especially when against/towards others.

Science teacher proved the first one in class the other day. Was pretty weid, but it does make sense to an extent.

Proved or 'proved'? Because \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \neq \fraq{1}{2}.

(I hope I got that right...)

I missed the date for the math GRE and will be applying to graduate schools next year. Not this year.

Any chance for Spring entry?

Depending on various stuff, that might work. My understanding is that while there's fewer slots open (and some schools don't allow it at all, IIRC), there's also less competition, and if (like I did) you need to spend a semester playing catch-up, it's a big help because grad courses are often scheduled on the assumption that you take certain ones in the fall, then the sequel in the spring, so you get out of sync and lose a year instead of a semester if you miss the autumn ones.

Then again, if you're going for a PhD, you've got more years to work with by default, which may make the scheduling more flexible, and housing is a bitch to find if you don't already have it. And if your targets just don't make Spring admission a thing, then it's all a moot point anyway.

Although I've just realized I may have misunderstood - it'd be next year anyway, just not next academic year (goddamn calendars). One way or another, though, good luck. You're the kind of awesome that doesn't really need it.

The latest Prattchett book (Raising Steam), has a kind of... Stilted language to it.
Snuff was great, but I'm starting to think his typist is trying to insert his own feel- and I dislike it.

Plus he pretty much reverts every race into their generic fantasy equivalent over the process of one book.

I'm sick and tired and lonely and broken, and people just keep throwing bad news and anger and disappointment at me. I can't keep dealing with it.

I think the way to win the game about emotion is to feel negative emotions but don't show it.

[Orange Wizard]

No, that's a terrible idea.

Don't feel any emotions, at all. Then you've won.

Being honest about your emotions is the best way.

Being honest about your emotions is the best way.

This.
The other two... :I (Obj, there's no 'game' of emotion wherein you're fighting it. Being a cold fishie won't work either Orange. Understanding those emotions is the best way :V)

Stuff like this.

My time in the happy thread was really short-lived.

That girl I'd mentioned in the Happy thread, that I was dating, now seemingly just doesn't want to respond to me on Facebook. I haven't been a pest, I sent her a message on Tuesday, one on Thursday, and one today, no response. This was a good faith effort, I think, any more is just being a nuisance. When something is clearly dying, just let it die Josh, just let it die.

Why do I feel like this is how it's just doomed to be. Even on really amazing great second dates, shit just falls apart and there's nothing I can do about it. I feel like I'm being punished for something I did, but I can't tell what.

I feel stupid, like a some kind of retarded emotional idiot for being torn up like this, over something so stupid. Just stupid.

Send her more messages (´・ω・`)

The optimism you find on these boards. The puerile, emasculating optimism.

I've gone outta my way to find a firefox addon that just blocks FB. I'm tearing myself up when I go there every twelve hours or so, only to find that there's still no activity. It's just it's own wishful thinking, wishful thinking that is nothing but poison to my emotional state. I'll just bury it, and wash my hands of the entire venture.

I was making a joke. That smiley is used in a 2chan story by a dude who supposedly stalked the hell out of some poor girl, sending her dozens of emails a day.

Don't actually do that
