That bay12 doesn't have a richi mahjong community.

That sounds like a fantastic idea!

Been done before and died on page one.
I already have a group of friends which I play with and Tenhou takes care of refining technique and getting more experience, so I'm not exactly looking for another group.
But it's saddening that such a great game doesn't get more exposure.

Apparently it's become somewhat popular in swedish universities, which was surprising to hear.

So apparently, being too much of a slob to go to bed at proper times will fuck up ones mood pretty badly. I'm saying this because i really don't care for being awake today (i'm tempted to say that i don't care much for existing at all at the moment, but that's probably an exaggeration). And as if that's not bothersome enough, i have not one, but TWO major social events coming up in the next few days, and both of them involve being around my two second cousins, who are 6 and 9 years old and completely hooked on Minecraft. The latter part in and of itself isn't necessarily bad, but the problem is two-fold:
A: I am to play with them on an iPad (with Pocket Edition being infinitely more clumsy to handle than the regular edition, so this is godawful).
B: They are 6 and 9 years old, and i am 22. They're both bright kids, make no mistake, but they have the approximate attention span of gold fish, as well as a level of behavioral immaturity that is to be expected of their age. Not much entertainment comes out of Minecraft like that.

I hope i won't be cranky on those days, because that wouldn't be helpful at all. :I

Ex-wife texted me this morning to let me know her dad is being moved to hospice care tomorrow, has about a week left to live.
Also, it's his birthday. So we're having a tiny party in the hospital room in an hour or so.

I'm not sure how my psyche is going to handle the irony in wishing him a (last) happy birthday on the day that the doctors basically said "You're about to die."

Say "No." and then block the jerk if he insists. And tell him that. "You can't take a no, so I'm forcing you to. Maybe I'll unblock you later, if you've learned. See ya."

Exactly this. Say "no" to someone once, and politely explain that you're really busy or there are things you really want to do at that time. If this person defriends you for this, they were never actually your friend in the first place and you've just dodged the bullet of wasting more time on this person.

Friends make time for each other, they don't demand attention. That's a user, not a friend if they keep doing that. Saying no to people some of the time is like magic for weeding out people who just see you as someone to play with vs people who view you as a true friend. A friend will get in contact with you again whereas someone who just sees you as interchangeable game-playing buddies will move on to someone else.

Hey, speaking of Mahjong I got invited to gamble with a friend of mine so she can win drinking money! Yeah...

I'm exhausted but I can't relax enough to sleep. I've just been curled up on the couch for a few hours because I'm too tired to do anything else.

I put far too much hot sauce in my dinner yesterday.

So, my boyfriend's little brother told me they were moving to Connecticut. Turns out it wasn't an April Fools joke.

All of my friends are moving away and going to different schools, and it just reminds me of how I'll never be someone's long-term friend. They keep telling me,"Friends forever!", but once graduation comes around, no one bothers to keep in touch with me anymore. I'm just a temporary solution, I guess.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

I just went "I guess I'll go check my Facebook, it's not like I have anything better to do..."
Then I remembered I've been abandoned or betrayed by all my "friends" so my Facebook is empty. Ah well...

I guess promises don't actually mean anything anymore. Why do I even keep getting close to anyone? It always just ends with me hurt and alone...

[Dutchling]

I recently found out you can unfollow friends on facebook.

Now the only posts that show up on my feed are from the Dutch version of the Onion.

I love facebook now.

If you want to stay friends with them try to stay in contact with them. Don't wait for them to contact you, take the initiative and contact them once in a while.

Speaking from experience here. I had, like, only 2 good friends at high school graduation and I haven't tried contacting them since, they haven't contacted me, and now it feels too awkward for me to try.

[technicallyAdventurer]

I try to, but it just feels kind of intrusive and awkward. They find new friends, and grow into different people— the only conversation I can have is about the past, when I actually hung out with them and stuff.

Am I too late to join in the "second semester sucks" bandwagon?

We'll be your friends _forever! Given that you maintain your presence here _forever, and that we do so too, you'll be able to contact us and vice versa _forever!!.

Yeeeeah, I didn't try keeping up with my friends because I thought it felt intrusive. If you don't show that you're interested in staying friends with them though then they very well may think you're not friends anymore and drift away. I'd think that's what happened with me.

Having friends is a two-way give-take deal. You give attention and get attention back.
