You know how I quit smoking? I read the entire twilight series in like 4 or 5 days. It sucked in both accounts, but it worked.

I love this question! It makes me feel powerful!

1. Walk, unaided, maybe even dance a bit.
2. Talk so that people understand me, well,....as much as some people ever will
3. Type.( I make mistakes, but I have learned to live with this)
4. Sleep well : before I was insomniac, now I sleep lots. And lots. And lots
5. Remember some stuff. It's not perfect, but it gets better. :!



Simple pleasures, huh! X.

And to think I get caught up about wjat I cannot still do!

Ten years ago I was still in school...
Ummmm...

*5 minutes later*

I thought I could answer this but I really can't, not much has changed. So I guess I'll answer for things I hoped 10 years ago that I would be able to do by now?
1) Find a compatible partner *cry*
2) Be smarter *double cry*
3) To have actually completed some sort of personal life accomplishment *triple cry*
4) Have money *quadruple cry*
5) Not still dislike myself *quintuple cry*

So in the past few minutes I decided that I'm going to put my cat in a shelter and shoot myself since this whole 'Life' thing isn't going anywhere fast.
I'll see you all down there later.

Unfortunately, I don't know you well enough to properly gauge how serious you are about that. So you leave me no choice but to assume that you do mean it to some extent.

" Not dislike myself "
You're too smart to actually believe that there is something so irredeemably wrong with you, it warrants punching your own clock. I guarantee there isn't a single person amongst us that doesn't feel fundamentally flawed in some capacity. You don't like yourself, well, it takes effort not to. It's easy to be cynical about your own worth, but I can tell you that you are worth something, certainly more than you seem to think you are.

" Have money "
Well, you've got a roof over your head, a cat that is actually some kind of monstrous eldritch entity bent on cosmic annihilation, and an internet connection ( hence electricity ), and presumably working plumbing, so you can't be that broke. Let alone enough for it to be soul crushing. You want more? There's plenty of ways to go about that, most are legal, they just require some form of planning and frugality while you save towards whatever goal you have in mind. Easy.

" To have completed some sort of personal life accomplishment "
Get in line mate, right behind the rest of earth's population. Again, that requires work, and a hell of a lot more than saving money does. You're too intelligent and logical to possibly ever believe that shit like that just magically happens. Your subdued state can't possibly be that mind numbing, otherwise you wouldn't even bring it up. If you haven't done anything worthwhile in your own eyes, it's because you've either been too busy, or just lazy. Neither of which are wholly debilitating situations. Pick something, start on it, and don't let yourself drop it. Exercise some self discipline and you may just be surprised how easy it is.

" Be smarter "
... Duh.
In case you haven't noticed,
* Ahem
" Us are all thunk yer smart, Con."
There, I spelled it out for you. The only thing you seem to be ignorant of, is exactly how brilliant your posts are, and that despite your obvious intellect you've never, to my knowledge, ventured into the realm of pretense or came off as a know it all. I can only speculate at how many people get your jokes and references without the use of a search engine

" Find a compatible partner "
Pardon my abrasive tone, but how hard have you actually tried? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I find it hard to believe that someone as scathingly apathetic as you present yourself to be, has put forth the kind of effort it truly takes to seek something that rare out. Not that it's hard to find someone, but something ideal is not so easily obtained, it's something exceptional we spend our short lives seeking out. You have to know yourself well enough to either be willing to compromise some of those standards I KNOW you have, or make peace with the fact that it's going to be that much harder to do if you're not willing to budge on them. Again, you're smart enough to know that the only place perfection exists, is in the fiction section of the library. But you can find an ideal, someone that makes you happy, that you click with, with whom's flaws ( real or self perceived ) become completely inconsequential in the face of how much you love them, it just requires a hell of a lot of time, searching, and yeah, you will be lonely. But take it from the formerly emotionally dead who struggled everyday for years over whether or not the end of a gun barrel would taste good, it gets better and is not hopeless, my friend.

And if all else fails?
I like cats, will watch anime, and can make fun of both america's political circus as well as Schrödinger's paradox. I'll fucking marry you bro, let's do this
Just don't go checking yourself out, few things are worth even seriously considering that. Trust me.

Edit: Forgive any redundancies or errors, my phone sucks and I'm supposed to be working

You got us here, such as it is. Lotsa people coming out to say heyyyyyy. You are part of this community. It matters. Talk to us?

 

[Blue]

I was 85% joking about all that so no need to get all serious.
Plus there's no guns here so I would have a hard time Cobaining myself.
...Too soon?

~Edit~
E.g I said "Find a compatible partner" when in reality I haven't tried at all to find one because I don't currently want one. Just self-satirically recalling outdated teenage daydreams.

... Well, dōmo arigatō, Mr. Broboto
For making me look like a big fuckin' softy in front of everybody
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go dry shave with a Bowie knife to gain back some of my man cred!

( Get that percentage back up in the goddamn 90s, and I'll drop it.)
