Well, if I were you I would probably sulk for a while, maybe not talk to any of
them, and just try to keep my mind off the whole situation. Then, after
everything's cooled off, I'd try to re-thing everything that happened, and just
talk to them, show them what I feel and hope that: a) the relationship with my
friend will survive this (that is, if she's really important in your life) b) the guy feels bad about himself
^.~ 'Cause, imo, he's just a jerk who doesn't deserve to have a gf. Just
remember that you shouldn't allow thing like this to put you down, you've got a
great life ahead of you and it's kinds pointless to take this as the end of the
world; it may feel like it, but just give it some time and you'll be saying to
yourself: "wtf was I thinking! feeling sad about that! Ahahahaha...."
Well, it depends on some things: 1) what kind of love, 'cause you know that hot
smexy love isn't all there is, right? 2) if it is a bf/gf relationship, you'd
have to follow what is said above: it doesn't really matter the number of years
apart, its the years that are aprart the ones that matter (look at the example
10-20/20-30) 3) you gotta be careful, since more experienced people will want
things that you may not have to offer yet, and that's almost always a reason to
be dumped (WhenAngelsFall case)
Well, I just want people who are simple, not at all stupid (you know,
"typical" kinda ppl), out of the ordinary ('cause simple is good, but
not "plain") and interestig (to be able to talk to them for more than
15 minutes).
First anime... well, it definitely was between 1-10, but I don't exacly remember
how old I was... I think one of the first series I saw was the Knights of the
Zodiac... *sigh* good old times ^.^
Well, my view of society is the following: it's just there to make it easier for
some to keep their grip upon us. Rules,
ways of thinking, religion... many things that are expected of you for being a
boy/girl, for being of certian age, for being in "x" country... Well,
a lot of people just find it easier to say that it's all working and there's no
problem, when in reality, nothing's working right.
I could go on, and on, and on about this, but I just wanna get down to your
problem KOROU1234. Yes, you can disagree with society, parts or just the whole
of it, you can disagree with the system, feel left out for not thinking as
everyone does, etc, etc, but right now, you have tp play along. Like it or not,
it's more of 'em, and by majority, you've got to abide by them. Maybe you just
don't like the idea of having to do this and that, behave like "x",
but, if you play along, you'll avoid a lot of unnecessary problems. This is not
cowardly behaviour, it's peaceful behaviour. See, you can proyect an
image of a "righteous" person (in their terms) but your mind can be
anywhere you want it to, since no one, and I mean no one, has control over that.
Feel free to fly away!
Well... I think this thread is about how has relligion affected everything,
right? Ok, so here's my point of view: it's been BAD for us. Why? Because it has
taken free will, smashed it into oblivion, and made us think some things are
good and some things are bad. You can't expect me to beleive that a
reward/punishment system is doing any good; you see, with that, people will not
want to do good, they'll just have to do good in order to avoid hell. You should want to do good to someone
else because you'd expect the same of him, not because some "high
power" is watching your every move and you're afraid that you'll fall from
his grace.
Morality within religion is one of the only things you can rescue from that
institution, since some principles are
really great. The thing is, people who call themselves fervorous followers of
"x" religion tend to forget about all this. I for one deplore the way
high priests live, how the pope has a huge palace, a ring that could feel an
entire country in Africa, and the power to sell the church's goods and actually
do some good and help the ones who need it... but does he? Of course not! It's
just become some way to have power, to control people, to be "god" and
decide what the future of everyone'll be. Maybe the don't have as much power as,
say, in the Renaissance, but they still influence the way people think, making
then weak, passive, and well, pushovers.
"Religion, as most superstitions, makes the man weak, while he shouln't be
waiting for his reward in heaven, but fighting for his rights on Earth."
-Isabel Allende (book: La Casa de los
EspÃÂÂritus)
I think that feeling of safety that comes from knowing that it doesn't really
matter what you did, as long as you say you're sorry, you'll be forgiven (which
is, as I understand it, a principle in the catholic religion) actually
encourages people to do wrong, since "nothing will happen".
(I'll edit this later, since right now I'm too tired to write some more)
Well, I'm not quite skilled and don't have much experience, but I know how to
make a typical breakfast, what with your eggs (scrambled or whichever you
prefer), hotcakes, ummm... cofee? And well, some mexican foods like tacos, salsa (with the blender, since I'm
not that good at hand grinding), and uhhh... microwave stuff!
I just loooove BK burgers and fries, especially hashbrowns; McDonald's is ok
when I can't buy at BK, but I'm not a big fan. For ckicken Popeye's is just
great, though there aren't many where I live; thing is I don't get to eat fast
food as much as I'd like, maybe once or twice every three weeks...
Well, I've been on vacations like... for a moth now, and I don't quite know what
to do with all the time, since I still got like 2+ months to go... I think I'm
going to get a job or something, 'cause I'm even getting tired of seeing my
friends like 4/7 days a week. Still, I've decided I'm not gonna be wasting time
and I'm learning how to make flash movies, trying to make some WP's to
contribute here, some programming... well, just trying to keep busy
Well, whenever I know I have to study I tend to get home hours after I should,
since I have to be at home in order to
really focus and hope to remember something for the test the next day. Then,
when I do get back, I usually start helping my sisters with whatever they have
to do, log into MSN and chat with my classmates about how horrible the test is
going to be and how I haven't even looked at my notes... and then it kinda hits
my that I know nothing, so I go for my notebook and start reading... after the
first few pages I remember that I wanted to see a TV program that day, so I just
put the notebook aside and read it during commercials... afterwards, it usually
gets a bit late so I decide I should go to sleep so that I can be fresh for the
test, since I didn't Study that much
Nope. I love girls that are funny, smart, cute, interesting (so that you can
talk to them without wanting to kill yourself), femenine, and well, you know,
the whole deal. I wouldn't be with a girl whose only purpose in life is to waste
hers by drinking a lot or not doing what she's supposed to. Yes, someone who's
wild, a bit crazy, out of the ordinary is great, but not in a "bad"
way... (we really need to know what you meant by bad)
Well, like the song says, "I'd do anything for love". I am convinced
that whenever you get that feeling, the greatest of all feelings in my opinion,
nothing will matter, at all. You see, most people take things like their career,
family and money into consideration, and most of the time it takes only one of
these to take them away from what very well could be the love of thier lives. I
don't wanna live knowing that I let that someone go, because true love is only
for one; yes, you can spread your love
around, but actual, serious love is meant to be just between two people, no
more(at least that's the way I see it). That's why I beleive in taking chances,
testing fate, going against the odds, call it as you wish, it's just a thing of
fighting for what you think is worth the fight. Hell, maybe money's all there is
to 'ya, and that's fine, everyone has an ulimate goal, mine is just to find her
and I'm sure I'll manage to solve all the other problems after that...
Well, I think I change a lot, actually, every year there's something new about
me that I couldn't have possibly tought I'd be. I always try and encourage this
change, because I beleive that none of us are perfect, but we should try and
become perfect so that we don't regret anything that we do. I respect other
people's opinions about me, though I consider just my the ones from my closest
friends, since most of the time people don't really know me and just start
rambling about how I am this and that... I guess my point here would be
self-improvent in order (obviously) to become better persons.
Wow, thanks for the replies, I already feel "in" the community.
Well, I think I do like the comedy and romance genres, but I'm quite picky when
it comes to the images, 'cause I really like breath-taking backgrounds, cute
looking girls and tough guys
Though something I really like are goth
girls and autumn pics, I'm a sucker for orange leaves
And thanks fot the links almina, I was actually wondering about that and I did
read the Support area, though (if I remember correctly -which I mostly don't-) I
couldn't find much about the Credits thing.
Edit: I just finished reading the "Userguide to Minitoyko 3: credits,
browsing, groups and more" and I found out about double posting there... so
I think this thread, for instance, is considered double posting? Or is this
allowed?
Well, first off, thank you almina for the links. This is just what I was kinda
hoping to stumble upon, all in one place, so it's incredibly convenient . I
will check 'em out soon enough, as I have little to do right now.
And in response to Shuichi-Shindou's post, I'd just like to say that while books
may be great, I find it really hard to get any that I'm actually interested in,
since all the bookstores in my city are stocked with best-sellers and whatnot,
but to find something like
Quote by Shuichi-Shindou...books
from the Genki serie edited by Japantimes. I've Elementary Japanese I & II
and Answer Key (for correcting the exercises).
I think it's
gonna be tough, but thanks for the suggestion, too.
Ok, so from what I've read, it's considered to be depressed when you want to do
nothing, right? But, I do wanna do things, a lot of things actually, and still I
feel like I've done nothing... It's weird, 'cause no matter what I start to get
into, I kinda leave it uncomplete and move on to something else... wich ends up
unfinished 'cause something else came up... ahahaha, that's probably why I
haven't had a serious relationship in a while... advice?
Yeah, that's when life seems to be unfair. But you gotta think about it this
way: those people depend on someone to achieve somehitng, and no one, I mean
no one likes to see that your hard work
is being used by someone else, so, eventually, they will end up all alone, and
with nothing at all, since they can't seem to find it in them to do something by
themselves for themselves.
Keep on fighting, since that's what life is all about.
Quote by XDEHighschool? Wow...My First Crush
Was In Kindergarden
ahahahaha... same here, or at least that's what I've heard from my mom, 'cause I
don't quite have any memories from my early years... or any at all, I'm not good
remembering things
ahahaha... well, I don't even know exactly what genres are there... but I guess
I'll whip up an opinion after being here, browsing through the images, reading
other ppl's opinions at the forums
well, the way I see it, humans aren't born anything but selfish; and that's what
makes us seem "evil" at first glance, but some people actually fight
their nature and try to be selfless and just help others, that would make up MY
concept of good. You can't say that we are just plainly evil or good since those
are personal ideas. E.g. in some cultures, certian religions, etc. consider
"x" to be punishable, while in any other it may be just something that
no one cares about. Yes, there are some
general concepts of good and bad, but when you think about it, it all comes back
to caring about yourself: since you wouldn't want anyone to tell you how to lead
your life, you turn against oppresion; you wouldn't like some random person to
come and murder your family, so you fight to protect human life; you don't want
to end up with a rotten , life-less planet, so you protect the enviorment... so,
to sum up, humans are humans because they usually care about themselves, and
only about themselves.
Well, i think that unless we find a way to colonize some other planet, we sure
are doomed to end up eating each other. The planet's not gonna heal itself and
we certianly seem to not worry about anything that's going on right now, since
our sons and daughters will surely take care of the problem. Europe (the water
moon) wouldn't be a solution to the "living somewhere else" problem,
though it would certianly help us with the water issue. I don't think we're all
alone in this INMENSE universe, and I'm pretty sure that someone'll come up with
a solution to space travel, either human or something else...
I just talk to my friends.. like all around school; it takes half the recess to
look for someone, and that leaves like two mins of conversation (since we only
get 10 min breaks class after class). When classes are over i usually stay at
least an extra half hour to catch up on everything that went on with my friends
Well, if I were you I would probably sulk for a while, maybe not talk to any of them, and just try to keep my mind off the whole situation. Then, after everything's cooled off, I'd try to re-thing everything that happened, and just talk to them, show them what I feel and hope that: a) the relationship with my friend will survive this (that is, if she's really important in your life) b) the guy feels bad about himself ^.~ 'Cause, imo, he's just a jerk who doesn't deserve to have a gf.

Well, my view of society is the following: it's just there to make it easier for some to keep their grip upon us.
