[Otal Nimrodi]

Well, I'm here.

[Slade]

Hi, Otal.

Reiner: You definitely win in the short term. That really sucks, and I hope things pick up for you soon.

David: There's a very large difference between being Emo and being wracked by pangs of existential angst. Just because I'm not always happy about the meaningless of my existence or attempts by western culture to perpetuate said meaningless, as well as actively refuse attempts to apply my own meaning (not forgetting well as my own resigned submission) doesn't mean I'm some suburban kid fashion victim who has cuts, has a bad dyed black haircut, wears girl pants and eyeliner, and listens to terrible music and holy crap this sentence is quite the run on, is it not? I also don't cry on stage whilst performing or whatever other definition you want to apply to the word. But yeah, by being derogatory toward people expressing discontent at the world, you're enforcing complacency and normalcy in regards to the whole thing.

Complaint: I ordered airline tickets for my girlfriend to visit me during my college graduation and I ordered them for the wrong day, so I had to cancel, which means I'm out an extra fifty dollars on top of the ridiculously outrageous airfare I will pay when I re-order the tickets soon. (But at least I'm only down the 50$, not the whole ticket price.)

No-one here: Maybe they're all hiding...

Angst: I'm really torn. Half of me is super cheery, and the other half hates the cheery half. I have officially taped off half of my office, to separate myself.

Complaint: I bought My Sims and love it, but the stupid thing lags like there's no tomorrow. I hate laggings.

[Casual]

It's all good as long as Otal's still here!

Complaint: My PC's sound card won’t work and this isn’t the previous one that wouldn’t work this is a new one that won’t work. WHY CANT IT JUST FUCKING WORK?

Sorry but if you were going through this you would understand, and I have that angst thing.

Slade: Very well said.
I see I'm not the only person who has ever been accused of being "emo" when I actually try to discuss emotion, existentialism, memory, the fleeting nature of time, all the things that keep weirdos like me awake at night. My sister especially used the word "emo" to shut down any attempts at meaningful conversation.

That was a very well-put response to people like her. Thank you.

I have a stomach infection that is completely preventing me from eating at the moment, it hurts a lot and frankly university wise it couldn’t come at a worse time. I can barely look at food without feeling the floor shift beneath me and having gone more or less without food for 3 days I'm getting mad for no reason. Still always looking on the bright side I just managed to eat some soup without too many repercussions.

Complaint: A friend of mine has a crush on me. And I don't like her back. Not that way anyway. But I told her that, and now she's depressed. She logged off AIM. But I can still see her on Skype, so I know she hasn't left...

I feel awful.

[reiner]

Sucks, but some people don't handle rejection very well. If she's a good friend like you said, she'll be back. Don't you worry!

As long as you were tactful when you told her you shouldn't feel guilty, you wouldn't be doing her any favours by stringing her along.

[Dorothy]

Otal, you did the right thing. It would hurt her more if you pretended or didn't deal with it.

Complaint: Windows Vista. That is all.

You should.


Why won't you go out with her?

I have only three weeks of class left, and the assignments keep getting stupider as it gets more difficult to find the motivation to do them. It's also gorgeous outside almost every day. Oh, and apparently Casual's trying to steal my thunder. Time to finally change my avatar and get him off my back.

[reiner]

is that some Za Warudo Luigi?

[Slade]

Negative Zone after-party.

Your potential Engrish burns my eyes.

Damn I've been caught; my plan to further confuse everyone has failed! Curses.

That and uni is giving me panic attacks what with essays and exams.
