Same.

[seed]

Ironically, I found myself very tempted to smoke recently, for some reason.

 

But otherwise yeah, I don't smoke, and very rarely drink alcohol.

I left Facebook and Twitter (on both I was an early adopter) voluntarly just 4 weeks ago and promptly startet mapping again. :)

Yesterday all my clothes seemed to fly away.
It sounded like as though I had nothing to say.
Oh, I miss yesterday.

 

Suddenly, half naked in front of everyone in an art gallery.
There I was telling all of them how I felt hot and sweaty.
Oh, yesterday went quickly.

 

(a little poem about what I did yesterday in an art gallery, might have borrowed something from The Beatles)

 

I'm also lonely, depressed and want to kill myself multiple times a day (one time just wouldn't be enough). For doctors/etc I tell I'm not depressed and only have suicidal thoughts couple times a week. I think my suicidal thought amount increased when I started going to school. It's possibly because everyone else has lived such normal lives and then I get to hear about all the things I missed having in my life. Same thing happened in the work practice.

 

There's only ever been one person to be in love with me romantically. She was one of the clients at the work practice, so there could not been a romantic relationship with me and her. She also saw me as a boy with boobs, which kinda made her confused, kinda me too, kinda the whole situation made me confused. I wasn't expecting anyone to fall in love with me. I kept professional distance and worked with her just like with everyone else.

I have a strabismus and its humiliates me. Or at least I feel so.
I cant have a car license, I cant play most sports games like football or tennis (because without binocular vision, which is broken by strabismus, I cant define distance to objects in terms closer/further), people are uncomfortable in talking with me face to face (because they dont know how maintain eye contact with me) and similar.

So I dont recommend have strabismus, 3/10, avoid this whenever possible.

I am only man who thinks that cinematographic porn (porn movie or porn video) is disgusting... and prefer to watch an animated porn (hentai, yiff and porn cartoons).

I think Ron Jeremy is a pretty funny and intelligent guy in a weird fashion.

The first time I heard the word "vista" was when a certain operating system had it in its name, as a result, everytime I see the word popping up that's the first thing my brain associates it with.

I feel very depressed, sometimes it feels like the only reason I ever go outside is to buy things for my family. I may very well be diagnosed with autisms too because most of my friends (don't even know if I can call them that) are usually just people I meet in school or on rare occasions in the streets. This is probably one of the reasons why I'm not really into PvP Multiplayer games. It's especially noticeable during vacations like summer vacation right now when I have nearly nothing to do outside helping my family.

Perhaps you just need to find an activity that actually makes you feel you're alive, something you like, and not something that just makes the time pass. I'm struggling with the same problem for years and I know how it is, and the lack of friends is not a problem for me since I've never had great experiences with people and have someone I can trust, let alone count on, in the first place. Perhaps some people need friends to be "complete", but I've never really had a thing for people so I don't regret this "loss". Besides, everytime I thought I found one life found a way to remind me that "Nein, thou hast not". I guess that just depends on the person :p . And I have plenty of/certain... shall we say, too unorthodox and "controversial" interests for the mainstream anyway.

 

But there's plenty of reasons not to be into MP these days. Apart from destructive practices in the industry, MP nowadays seem to be so full of toxic people and trolls that it's just not worth one's sanity, and ultra-competitive folk that treat you like their worst nightmare if they lose matches as if you somehow ruined their lives. It's even worse if you suck at those games, I personally found no fun whatsoever in endlessly losing and getting completely destroyed, there's no satisfaction to be found in that. MP can keep that shit away from me, I have zero interest or desire to ever touch MP again because of these main reasons, and I don't feel like I'm missing out anything.

I unironically enjoy listening to Philosophy Of The World by The Shaggs. I just find the song enjoyable to listen to for some reason.

 

 

The story behind them is very interesting. Their father was a bit of a loon who was convinced his daughters were destined for greatness, so he over-rehearsed them in the naive hopes of cobbling together a hit pop trio. This was made quite difficult by the fact that they were forbidden from listening to popular music, so the girls had an entirely unique approach to songwriting, defined by meandering riffs, aimless drumming, a total lack of vocal harmonies (they simply all sang the same notes together) and a complete disregard for proper tuning or anything resembling a verse/chorus structure. It's surprisingly proto-punk and reminds me a bit of what all-girl bands like The Slits would end up doing in the latter half of the 70s.

Besides designing Jazz Jackrabbit Doom, I enjoy performing live and writing music in the metal band I'm in named, Dioxis!

 

We are an experimental metal band, formed in San Antonio, Texas.

 

Already played 3 shows this year, have a demo out and taking everything step by step.

 

DIOXIS EP - Enjoy!

I'm thinking about having a new app.

[Diana Lack]

And I have a point that there are a lot of online applications, which are pretty straight forward. Also, there are a lot of youtube videos. I just have a question about the price to build an app. But I've already found a professional software engineering company with really profitable options. So, everything will be ok.

I don't love women who addicted to fashion, talk so much, paint lips and demand many expensive things from their boyfriends.

I prefer to have a relationship with tomboys.

[GamingMarine]

I've now been playing Doom for five years. As a fifteen year old, I've learned a lot of things since then, and I feel that I've greatly improved. I'm still far from the best Doom player out there, but all that matters is if I'm good enough.

My username means love of darkness, which I also have a preference for dark personalities, places and the night. It was an influence on how others perceive me.

Guess we got that in common :p.

@Lygophilia @seed I'll join the darkness club... Guess it's also useful to make the electric bill smaller with having very few lights on. Mentioned this earlier, but I used to have some heliophobia too. Don't have it anymore, I can go out during daytime, still prefer darkness. Time around sunset is pretty too. Nightsky is awesome.

Oh yeah, night skies are awesome, be them full of stars, aurora, or simply dark with the moon shining. I especially like it when the moon is clearly visible and small clouds partially cover it, feels like one of those movies :) . I also like foggy nights, but this mostly applies to days honestly. Cloudy, rainy, maybe even foggy. Much more soothing, and almost cathartic.

 

That's not to say I can't or don't want to appreciate daytime or something, but I definitely feel better at night. It's more intimate too.

I'm part of the LGBTQ. I need to move to a more tolerate part for the city of New Orleans, like near Canal St. The people around me always gave me a hard time from their religious views in my apartment. What lies ahead with transitioning is going to be worse, but overall, "be you" is what I live by.

Today my crush sent me to the friendzone....

[Lygophilia]

Being an alcoholic is more difficult than I thought. I can't say that it was a solution to hard times, but numbed my troubles. The substance abuse program doesn't guarantee a lifetime of sobriety, but it wasn't without merit.

[TwinBeast]

I was dancing and kissing with a guy on friday night at a bar. Hadn't danced and kissed with a guy before. It was kinda fun, but also felt like it progressed too fast. After the dancing he seemed like he didn't want to touch me anymore. When he left the bar, it was just a handshake, no hug or kiss. Maybe some online dating service would work better. Maybe best would be to get together with my best friend, though I don't have romantic feelings for her, maybe I'll have these feelings later.

 

Just before meeting this guy I danced with, I was waiting in line to get a drink, some other guy walked next to me and yelled some insult at me because I'm trans. He laughed and walked away quickly. Don't know what to do with people like these, so far I've just ignored them. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

 

Still haven't told my parents I'm trans. Next time I meet them I'll just tell them. Can't really hide this much longer anyway. I hope they're not going to be like when I told them I'm a vegetarian and then they've tried multiple times to get me to eat meat again.

... I'd like to be optimistic honestly, but if they couldn't deal with the fact that you're vegetarian there's no way they're going to accept something much bigger. That's basically insignificant in comparison.

 

But I know the feeling, it's a fucking nightmare to hide behind a mask or plain lies/pretending because the people around you, even the close ones, can't accept that. I'll eventually experience the effect in full power in the future, or at least that's what I expect anyway. You know the saying, hope for the best, prepare for the worst. My situation would be different however. Let's just say we have... different views. I'm gonna leave it at that.

I also fail to understand what they are trying to achieve. I sometimes think that this behavior is an attempt at making something disappear, but spreading hatred towards something is not going to just make it suddenly go away one day, especially if there's nothing inherently wrong going on. This reminds me of how certain parties and their supporters tried to desperately convince (or should I say manipulate?) people to vote "For" during a referendum from the past year.

 

They absolutely loved spreading lies (and when I'm saying lies I mean just that, make no mistake. The kind of lies only someone who has not read a single, serious book in their entire life and who are otherwise easily fooled would believe), misinformation, and hatred against a minority. Sorry to burst you bubble, but not everyone in a state shares the same views and beliefs that you do, and a state/country is not only for you and people like you. They probably took the failure of the referendum as a huge defeat against them, their values, and a victory of "immorality". Also make no mistake that that referendum was organized solely for the purpose of denying equals rights to a minority.

 

In other news, I tried to smoke again a few days ago. Cigarettes taste like shit... safe to say I'm probably never going to smoke.

[TwinBeast]

I think they have now maybe accepted that I'm a vegetarian, but at least for a year they did try to get me to eat meat. "Are you still a vegetarian? You could eat chicken when you visit us? Hey, it's christmas, how about some ham?"

 

My mom is probably going to be mostly ok with this. She even gave me some of her unused makeup. Doesn't seem to mind me wearing skirts. Earlier she's also given me some of her clothes. My dad however has negative toned comments about my clothing. "Don't you have pants? How about I borrow you shorts so you don't need to go the shop with a skirt?" The frequency of these sort of comments from him have increased in the past couple years.

 

So this stuff is probably not going to be a big surprise for them. Still, kinda mixed feelings how they're going to be after I've told them.

There was something similar here in Finland in 2017. They didn't succeed in their initiative to cancel a law allowing gender neutral marriage. Hopefully they don't succeed later either if they try again.

I stopped smoking in 2001. Though for a while sometimes when I was drunk I had bought cigarettes and smoked. Then next day was like... yhh... why do I have these? And throwed the cigarettes away.
