Topicless thread

Thanks Bella, Lego, yeolde and Choco for the encouraging words! I'm very sorry Bella that you need to be going through such feelings, I sincerely hope things'll work out for you.

The hair-dying thing has been on my mind a lot (yeah, my life's big questions :p) and a couple of weeks ago a very close person had their head shaved despite issues it would bring with their family. Their determination inspires me as well.

To elaborate a little the bit about my parents: first, they have no say in what I do. Back in time they used to really have their hands on my life, but especially since moving countries they've realised I'm the only one to control myself.

Second, they and I went through a really difficult period that lasted several years over a half a decade ago and had they wished to disown me, they would've done so back then I suppose. I've not been very open about that particular time in my life here, but I feel the time to change that isn't really very far away.

Third, my parents live by the principle, "Career is the thing that matters the most." Everything they judge might hinder one's chances at job search, promotions or golden parachutes is automatically bad and banned: unusual/gender-non-conforming hairstyles, hair colours, tattoos, clothes, shoes, political opinions/activity; religious conviction or lack of it; hobbies, you name it. Everything's to be scrutinised from a potential ultra-conservative and bigoted employer's point of view. Conform and contain yourself, you'll fulfill your life's goals by doing accounting and working stable hours. If you wanna have a good time, just give 'em a call.

My personal life is imploding but I think I just aced 3/4 finals (4th is tomorrow), at this point I'm wondering if my academic performance inversely proportional to the quality of my life at any given time. Go me?

The school paper in celebration of the end of the year realeased a gag newspaper today, that I have to say might upset some people. There were articles about ISIS setting up a booth at the career fair next semester, a girl dropped her tampon and switched schools, teacher askes for extension on the time to grade an essay after getting addicted to Breaking Bad, the fired athletic director picked up a bunch of pervy things out of his office as he packed up to leave, the rise of hate groups on campus, and the doozy, the real reason racial profiling was removed from police descriptions was because they ran out of colored people to arrest.

I thought they were all funny but I know some ones jimmys are rustling out of control because of it. I've actually seen people go around and tear up stuff on campus like this before so you never know.

I guess it depends on how it was written and whether it punched up or punched down, but some of those seem over the line even to me.

So it turns out the one and only thing I was looking forward to on break, getting to see Stew, might not happen, which almost inevitably means I won't get to see him until summer. Fuck my life.

fuck me
today was boring

That feeling you get when you leave the final and you realized you completely screwed up that one problem...

Saw the new StarWars and thought it was pretty good, I think the next one will be better because they used this one to really set things up for Episode VIII.
Now I have to work from today (12/20) until Christmas Eve (12/24) and luckily my store doesn't open on Christmas so I have that day off. Apart from two of my days being 4AM - 1PM shifts everything is looking alright this week.

Apparently, my mom's family is gathering together on Christmas, or perhaps Christmas Eve...and the only reason I want to join them is because of talks of going to see Star Wars -w-;;

As for my dad's family, that's tonight. Actually looking forward to it

EDIT: Apparently, the parents are going to see Star Wars today, while I'm at work :\
(So, I might go see it when I take my trip to Tyler...if I don't go see Spectre instead. IDK yet)

i think the depression's kicking in. oh well, at least my shopping's done for the moment and i get to hang out with my mum next week. all the crippling self-doubt, frustration, despair and anger over my current situation, minor dissatisfaction over my relationship and growing stress over the future can be pushed aside briefly because NOTHING MATTERS AT ALL AND IT'S ALMOST HOLIDAY TIME AGAIN WHOOPSIE DOOZY HERE WE GO

new year's might be nice, kind of just want to buy some fancy food i saw at the supermarket and sit in. Steve wants to watch the Twilight Zone marathon but we don't have TV (sans the stuff we can [barely] get with the antenna) so unless we can find a livestream and the internet doesn't completely shit the bed, that's out. (unless he hangs out inside.)

[Nichi]

Mmm :[

For me, it's that the year is almost over, and while I am the closest I've ever been to being able to move out, I feel like I have nothing to show for it. At the very least, 2k-tan the Desktop is returning this week, and also, Crystal Pepsi is returning; something I've been curious about for a long time.

[Chocofreak13]

been watching some Jem recently. #feelsgoodman

[Nichi]

Indeed. I'm now up to the Kimi era of Rugrats, and have been enjoying it thus far :3

[LeaflameSD]

living like a neet atm

[Pitkin]

Since I won't probably be around very much during the next few days, I wanted to wish you all either happy holidays or just good few days to come.

[Cockleshell]

merry christmas everynyan!!!!!
