Thanks man. Let's hope your Mala stays safe then!
Actually, hm. There was another pendant I had once, also sentimental. I think that is still in my possession somewhere. I should see if I can find it...
Mine too.
Ah, don't say that man. There's nothing ti be gained from running yourself down.

I hate my thoughts as I try to get to sleep...
They can keep me up for hours...
Life is far too depressing =(
My first forum was probably game FAQS, followed by just us boys. When I found out about GAF it became my only forum. I got all my gaming news, as well as crazy and interesting stories in OT.
A fellow cruiser? I joined cruise critics in 2006.
A fellow cruiser? I joined cruise critics in 2006.
I have an exercise/fantasy that I've gone through when I can't sleep (which is chronic).
I play with the question: "if I could pause and unpause time, what would I do with that power?"
So, for example, I start at 930am, CST, and I go through the fantasy as realistically as possible on what I would do, where I would go, etc. If I'm at work in the middle of a task when I decide to start The Pause, I usually start off by leaving myself a detailed note about what I've done up to that point in my workday, just so that I don't forget when I finally re-start time (since The Pause could last for a very long period).
Sometimes I explore the world. Sometimes I'm criminal. Or engage in political sabotage/intrigue. Or enjoy pervy pursuits. Or marathon video games.
Instead of my mind wandering, I try to stick to that one "what if?" scenario. Usually I end-up passing out..

My depressing thoughts before sleep usually pertain to mortality, like the "tomorrow is not promised, we're all getting older, people are so fragile etc." shit that then turns into a "what if _____ passes away tomorrow" which makes me even more depressed. A few nights ago this happened and I was so fed up with it that I sat up and told myself out loud to stop, and then tried to think about drag queens or video games or something so far removed from that storyline that I get distracted and sleep. lol
Haha I play this in my brain a lot too. Then I argue with myself as to whether I'm supposed to do some kind of political/social justice with it or whether I just wanna sneak around and be a perv. But I guess if time's standing still I can do both
Back to work today, I'm so miserable
Other than broken English and heavy use of horizontal text emoticons, I wonder if my teenager posts were that cringe worthy. It turns out I never posted on any "permanent" forum back then, so it's all gone for better or worse

Since my stroke, I've basically just tried staying awake as long as I could, until I end up practically passing out and have to go right to sleep.
Which would end up with me staying up until like 4AM and sleeping until like 1PM many days.
I've been trying to get on/stay on a more normal sleep schedule the past few months though...
Which means a bunch of laying in bed thinking about things >.>
Yeah, pretty much what I go through =(
Heh, interesting idea :þ
I still wish I had it, honestly. It might make me cringe sometimes, but it's interesting seeing how I've changed.
You should read Jeff VanderMeer's Wonderbook: The Illustrative Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction; it covers a lot of those aspects about writing and it has visuals so you don't have to visualize anything because it's right there.
I also don't really have a strong sense of "visualizing" things in my mind. I think this is also why I have some trouble with Go; I can't visualize the stones on the board if they aren't there. This has never affected my ability to recall information in a book, though.
Anthony C. Yu's translation is the one I'm going to read. It was first published in 1983, and was recently revised for a 2012 release. I have the first two volumes right now.
I've read Three Kingdoms, which was ~1400 pages, and The Story of the Stone, which was about 2550 pages, across five volumes. Journey to the West is ~1700 pages in this edition, across four volumes.
Back to work today, I'm so miserable
The week seems to go by very slow now.
Might consider trying something like this as well. Was so confident last night that I would for once get sufficient sleep despite my 06:45 alarm. I went to bed early enough. I was so close. Then the thoughts flooded in as usual. Now I'm tired as shit again. I reaally suck at falling asleep.

You know, I feel like I should basically just stick to this thread to talk about relationship issues or life issues or general depression and such.
There's too much nonsense and noise out there on the rest of GAF.
Or, well, rather, considering how many people I have on ignore now, there's too much of posts that I don't see, which just sidetrack any worthwhile discussion other people might have.
It's like, you would figure that if people don't like me/don't enjoy my posting, they would just ignore me and move on with their lives.
I don't really care anymore though, so I've just taken the initiative in a number of cases.
If they want to continue to talk to themselves though, that's on them I guess.

Yes, Teri, You're the best.
I for one don't mind the updates on your life because I feel like at some point life will turn around for you. I know it! I'm rooting for you. 2015 will be the year of Terrisus.

What a weird and bleak day where I live (Paris) :/
The website for which I work has stopped all activities for today in solidarity with what happened to Charlie Hebdo this afternoon.
Same with friends and colleagues working in newspaper or on television. Everyone is still in shock, therefore it's like the time is... suspended or something. Nothing will ever be the same after today.

I still feel kind of out of place here. I know we discussed it earlier, and umop had a very good post (which I feel bad that I didn't reply to, since it was a very good post... I just wasn't sure what to say), but I still just don't really feel right, since the things that I want and feel and am looking for and hoping for and everything just seem so different from everyone else...
But, I'm glad that people here can accept me =)

This is pretty unspecific
But yeah this thread is probably your best bet as far as getting people to read and respond to your posts/inquiries. I've been mostly a lurker but the few times that I've posted here about personal things I've managed to get some discourse out of it which I love. So a big thank you to everyone here because you guys are a real community and it's nice to see. =)
Umm.. hell to the YES.

2015: Year of Terrisus, the sequel the to Year of Luigi.

For whatever it's worth, I do empathize with how you feel, believe me. But just because you're looking for something different doesn't mean you don't belong. We're all looking for different things here, even if it doesn't always seems that way. I know you probably meant that even more broadly, but honestly, don't overthink it man.
Just saw the news, hang in there man. Thoughts are with you guys. Stay strong. My condolences on this tragedy. :<

Terrisus is going to steal all of our gay secrets. I don't trust him.
What does the pendant look like?
My grandma had one and it was really pretty, had some real jewels on it. I think my father got it after she died last year. You so far and always come across as genuine, and I like that. I accept you and think that you are welcome to talk in here about your problems or whatever.
That just reminds me of the Year of Luigi thing Nintendo had going in 2014. I hope Terri will get more out of this year than Luigi got last year. ;pYes, Teri, You're the best.

That's terrible, Grizzo. My thoughts go out to all these poor souls who lost someone through that attack, and to the ones like you who are in shock and fear over this tragedy. Stay strong.
Where is Christopher Hitchens when you need him I:
Seriously, what happened to Charlie Hebdo is terrible. :S
How come a deity so powerful and so omnipotent need to be protected and defended by small and insignificant humans? That deity has some serious issues, and so do some of his followers...

But I already have a huge backlog
I know the pain. >_>
*looks nervously at kindle lying next to the keyboard*
We all look for acceptance, so that's at least one thing.
The important thing is that you feel good being here (you are, right?) and that's all that matters.
I don't even care about your dislike for Super Mario Sunshine. If that's not true love, I don't know what it is
This is so awful
Bunch of disgusting sub-humans.What if his goal is to infiltrate our secret gay society? O:

I get upset every time we get a thread about masculinity on GAF and the discussion never goes deep enough for my liking, a lot of people act as if masculinity really isn't forced upon those of us who don't particularly feel much attachment to our birth sex and act in a way that is natural to us, I've always wanted to make a thread like that but I need to think of how to word it since I've trouble with words and can hardly express my thoughts eloquently.
I love when Mumei makes threads about gender issues because he expresses his thoughts fantastically but people usually don't post in them :/

Keep in mind that this is not something every person of that religion supports, it's a small subset of fanatics and terrorist groups who do acts like this.Where is Christopher Hitchens when you need him I:

Glad to have you, for sure.

Speaking of topics of mine that hardly get any responses, I was just checking out The Mask You Wear Kickstarter page for updates recently and it is supposed to premier this month at the Sundance Film Festival. Once it is available for general viewing - perhaps on Netflix the way Miss Representation was - it could be a good time for a follow-up topic.
That someone else can make, so people post in it. (._. )
Yep I'm aware of that.

Exactly.
See, you said lovely. Now I know you're not referring to me.
