Speaking of girlfriends - after struggling with a slight case of depression for months (I say slight because I wasn't clinically depressed and it didn't interfere with my life very much) I finally seem to feel fine again since some weeks ago. I felt great while I was on Erasmus but ever since I got back home things weren't quite so awesome. It sucked to be back in a place with very little to do, with parents who constantly argue and complain, a shattered family that spends most of the time badmouthing eachother and (and this is where the girlfriend part comes in) I had a wayyyy too heavy crush on a friend of mine (obviously, it wasn't mutual, as I sadly came to find out).

So I felt like shit for quite some time. I still feel that I need to get out of this place ASAP - I have all the comfort that I need, but on an emotional level living at home is really unfulfilling and in my experience that fuels laziness and insecurity - but I'm more focussed on the future now.. Gonna save up money from my job (one of the benefits of living at home is that that's easy to do) and probably get my own place in a year or two.

Getting a girlfriend... will have to wait 'till then I guess. So, here's to a couple of cuddleless, kissless, sexless years. Huzzah!

At least you don't have to go through the hell of being in love with someone who's already married.

And knowing that same someone is in love with you.

Cheers to you for a moment of seriousness man. I understand a lot of what you're going through, and it sucks. I'm actually curbing a 'midlife crisis' right now because I turn twenty tomorrow and I feel completely fucking worthless (not fishing for feels or compliments, I'm being serious) because I've done shit all with my life and it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better. I say good luck to you, man, since you look like you really have an out since you can get a good paying job. I barely make $2000 a year, so I'm really fucking stuck because I don't have transportation and any employer is miles and miles from my home. Sure there are some factors in there like my parents doing nothing to help me, and the rest of my family either not being in a position to help or they just don't care, but at the end of the day my life sucking is my fault. I'll figure it out, until then it's just hard when you don't know what's next.

Is this what women do to make certain parts of their body smell fishy?

I've never understood this concept. I've never been near a vagina that smelled like fish. And not to sound like a slut, but when it comes to vaginas, I consider myself quite the connoisseur.

[Lunick]

I think I should go back to lurking the forum

Tastes like chicken, keep on lickin'. Tastes like trout, get the fuck out.

Maybe you're a bit like me in that regard and you compare your life and personality to that of other, seemingly more succesful people. Of course that's bullshit, the grass is always greener on the other side. Thankfully I know people I have a lot in common with, and they seem to be doing quite well, so there's still hope.

[Kathy]

AC is 20 and thinks he's going through midlife crisis... Wow.

[High Treason]

WTF! I wish they'd warn me before doing this kind of thing, luckily, my friend has had this for over a month so I knew it was coming, also, I expect something to be different every time I load YouTube now anyway.

I'm not about to start hating on this new home page, because I haven't really tried it yet, I'm willing to give it a few days and see if I get used to it.

Edit: Nope, sod that, I hate it already, why should I have to click just to get to my subscriptions every time? Otherwise, I have to remember a long url (http://www.youtube.c...subscriptions/u) - bullcrap, my channel design changed a little too, no longer page numbers, you have to keep pressing "Load More" which will be good on other people's channels where they have like 500 videos. I'm sick of this "iPadifying" crap, I bought a PC because I didn't want to use that interface, stop ramming it down my throat.

Edit 2: A small observation;

[Hank]

can't resist
I use Google Chrome and DuckDuckGo/duke4 as my home pages.




Google Chrome is the fastest browser, and I use Google or Bing only when I need the latest movie or music

Well, not so much that I'm comparing myself to other people, it's just that I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I wanted to. It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out. Everything I do and everything I try never turns out. Wait, get out of here, Mike Muir.

No, I just don't have a better term. Someone said to me "Birthday Blues" today. I guess that's closer.

I'm reading Catcher In The Rye now (few chapters left). Holden, is that you?

I've never used an iPad, so to me the YT comment page loading seems more like "Facebooking" crap (and yes, it's not exactly an improvement).

Happiness is not found at the bottom of a bottle...that is depression....and time to buy a new bottle. Everyone knows that happiness is a slowly emptying bottle.

I've actually stopped drinking, don't like using a crutch to 'feel better' and I don't like the way it changes how I think.

This is the proper way for a bridge to blow up:

Just think of all the SEENINE they had to use.

[High Treason]

A guy I know just posted this, I think it's a really good idea;

[Lunick]

It actually is.

Maybe next year we could have a Advent of Duke maps. A new Duke map every day? A really good Duke map every day?

Don't look at me

Come onnnnnnn, you know what I like.

[Micky C]

I'll make a dozen WGRealms 2 and AMC TC maps just for you

[Lunick]

It seems like you actually don't know what I like.

[Micky C]

I'm sure the authors of those TCs are trying not to feel too offended.

What kind of maps do you like then?

[Lunick]

I hope people don't take that out of context. I will just say that I don't like WGRealms2 but all the work and maps made for it I can appreciate and the AMC TC I haven't played so making maps for it wouldn't appeal to me

To be honest, I don't think I even know myself. Maybe you could map Plug N Pray for me

[Micky C]

Hmm sure I could put a truck-load of work into painstakingly recreate something that I've never played before...

If you liked the gameplay of my first two maps then chances are you like semi-linear maps full of health and ammo and bad guys to kill in every room.

So after hearing that my dad's hard drive failed on him, we went out and got some new ones since the ones he had were 6 years old. Set him up in a RAID 1 array for mirroring and also made him dinner because he bought Cosmo some more cat food.

[High Treason]

If anyone reading this is a 3D Modeller and you distrubute your models in .max format, please kindly go and die in a fire. I despise 3D Modelling at all times, but trying to do anything with that format is a joke and would land up costing me $6 in bandwidth charges as only 3DS Max can open that format it seems.

I probably shouldn't have so much hate as I'll likely be trying to find a 3D Modeller within the next year or so... And I won't be tolerating that format, that's for certain.


On the other hand, it was quite fun putting stupid things into Autodesk's massive line of questions just to find out I have to get some shovelware from Akami (Blacklisted here) first before I can download the trial version, I did find a way around it in the end though, there's always a way to get a direct link.

So as of today, the west leg of my city's transit system opens. Planning to take a ride on it after work. Bringing my camera to take a video of the new route. This will be the first extension of the downtown part since 1985.
