reveal something about yourself

[file cabinet]

reveal something about yourself you haven't posted on the board before.. doesn't need to be too personal..

I resumed going to college after taking about a year off to focus on work(web development). I am attending a community college and I'm signed up for 3 courses -- Aerobic Exercise (2 credits of PE are required for an AA degree), Geology(teacher was rated well at ratemyprofessors.com) and Minnesota Writers(read 7 books that are MN related).
For some reason I have less social anxiety then I used to, so I don't feel nervous talking to strangers in the classrooms as much.
today was the first time I used the shower after gym class. I've only seen one other guy use the shower so far.. there really isn't a whole lot of time to shower as the next class starts in 15mins. so I finished showering and more people were in the locker room, I took my towel off for a few seconds to slip on my boxers. I wondered if the guy who was near me thought this made him gay for seeing another man's penis (seems unlikely). then I headed to my next class.
I have been "exercising" lately, but I think it's fun. especially the biking around part. I tried jogging(which is something I did early in the week for the Aerobic class so I thought running would be an ok substitute) yesterday since my tires were really low on air.. my legs/calves were sore afterward.
I'm all out of yogurt.

I was in a nasty rollover in April. I was drinking during the day and the person I was with fell asleep, so I took a ride with someone else who was also drinking. We were going on a beer run, the people who she was with said that she was swerving too much, but I didn't notice major swerving. After we dropped those people off we were about to go on our run.

Not paying too much attention to the road, that's all I remember. Then it was dark. I remember feeling as though I was trapped in the trunk of a car, an uncle of mine was talking to me. 'You're going to be OK' he said. 'Just open the trunk' I replied 'get me out of here'.

I couldn't remember what I did afterwards, but apparently after they righted the truck and took me out using the 'jaws of life', I got up dazed, trying to walk away from the accident. But they made sure that I got on the stretcher and took me to the hospital.

I regained consciousness in the hospital, and all of my relatives were standing around, expressing concern. I could feel dirt in my eyes; thick, coarse sand and gravel. I complained about it and had my eyes washed out. On one side of my forehead, there was much scrapes, you couldnt really see the skin. But I wasn't in any pain.

They took me to my room and I fell asleep. Waking up, my entire body was sore; I really felt the brunt of that crash the next day. Dragging my IV with me, I looked into the mirror. I was FUCKED UP. With a swollen face, and lots of scrapes, the stitches were very visible. 5 on each side. The nurse noticed and said 'Don't worry, you'll be handsome again'. Thanks.

Several days later, I took a look at the truck which was sitting in an auto wreckers. The roof was completely caved in and flat. The truck lost traction on the gravel roads, spun 90 degrees and flipped a few times. A wonder that I survived, they said. I wasn't so shocked, it was no miracle, just luck I guess.

I'd assume that this was a life-changing experience... was it?

Something about me:

I can't remember a single day when my heart didn't ache for one reason or another. Not that I've been depressed all my life, I just can't recall it. Also, it's not just about depression, but I'm not sure what to call it.

Also, I'm pretty flexible for an out-of-shape guy.

[Zero Angel]

Maybe sad, or 'trapped' in something. I used to toughen up as a child to hide a very weak and melancholic feeling side that would come out in bursts, so I have to wonder if you have the same thing, except more regulated, and not so repressed.

Re: The accident. It wasn't really a life changing experience. At least not as much as you might think, I was kinda like 'oh an accident, whee (sarcasm), then a little numbed out and mysteriously depressed for a while afterwards (probably caught up in a recursive illusion that the head trauma caused brain damage). Not sure if it's PTSD, but I can't conscously recall any trauma or life-changing insights coming out of it.

[coffeezombie]

I don't like being the center of attention.

[TwoBigFish]

I sometimes get pissed at people for saying things that I might have said myself.

(i.e. My mother and I were car pooling to the restaurant this morning when she pointed out the contruction at D-Ville highschool and how there were trees on top of the building. I was annoyed and refused to engage in conversation about it b/c I knew she'd just go on and on about how ODD and STRANGE it was ... and wonder WHY THEY WOULD DO SUCH A THING, and WHAT IT ALL MEANS.

However, if I had seen it first I would have commented on it and probably said something lame like "I bet it's got do do with some class or another. Neat idea."

I am such a hypocrite sometimes.)

On another note ... my mother is an INFP, does anyone know anything about these creatures????

I landed in blackberry bushes. Looked quite a mess with red clay (that wasn't suppsed to be that red) covering my face, which was covered in scratches from the blackberries. I still have exactly one, tiny scar over my eye, from where the windshield opened my forehead up

That's because you are. You need to re-evaluate your defenition of murdered and get rid of the negative connotation. The conclusion you should read is that murder when forced upon you is good and murder when someone else does (fill this demographic in yourself with some logical thoughts) it is bad.

Regardless if he might have gotten to you if he hadn't been a teenager, you've BEEN there! You're not just talking shit. I think it's nice that you can excuse yourself in our eyes when we/you realize that it was him or you. Except that you're NOT excusing yourself! Kuranes tells you to DO so, though. Take a deep breath. Read Waxwing. Cuddle with your wife. I have a feeling for you, man. You're not one of these people that we all look down upon. I love you Nighthawk. You're a rare "no-bullshit" guy. I wish I could be at the DFW meet.

I'm 6 feet tall.

edit: And I've never been in a knife fight. But I had a roommate that wanted to get in one with some other people. We stopped him. Funny enough, the guy is probably finishing law school right now.

[Helios]

I have never shot or even touched a gun.

[lexiphanic]

I've climbed the snake river valley canyon. Apparently several people fall and die, or need to get air-lifted out of where me and my friends climbed. Quite cool.

Also, my body is very slightly off center due to years of having a paper route at a young age.

I'll give it a shot. Eyebyte_atwork and I are contemplating this (and other things) over a few dozen beers right now while we gawk at the pretty girls ... in true INTP fashion. Self-definition truly is the root of the problem.

I'd lean more towards the behavioral aspect of it. Watch about 1.34 episodes of Dr. Phil, and you should get the idea jist of it. Basically, you need to re-evaluate your definitions of things. You've killed a man. You haven't murdered anyone. Although bad, killing someone isn't bad. Murdering someone is.

And so on and so forth.

[C.J.Woolf]

I fired BB guns and a 22-caliber rifle when I was a kid. Just target shooting, not at any critters. I especially enjoyed working the bolt of the rifle, the feel and sound of it. I was in Junior ROTC my freshman year of high school and I drilled with an M-14. Didn't get to fire it, alas. I haven't touched a firearm since then.

For some reason pistols give me the creeps. You can repoint a pistol with just a flick of the wrist -- and just as easily blow someone away. I don't know why, but rifles and even machine guns don't give me the same feeling. Sometimes I think of getting pistol training but I've never mentioned it to anyone; I fear my wife would freak out. I have no reason to think she would, but anyway.

[Hypnos]

Pistols are practical and fun.

Knives are creepy.

I think swords are cool, though. It might have something to do with the fact that a knife doesn't seem to be an "honest weapon."

Heh! That's funny! I peed in my pants a few times in the first grade because I never knew where the bathroom was and I was too afraid to ask the teacher if I could go also. :D

[cjs55]

Speaking of the first grade (in the context of this thread...)

Someone dared me to whip it out in class playtime, and being the little SP I was back in the time, I obliged. Poor girls of that class. More likely poor me, being grounded for a month.

[PenguinHunter]

I agree. I think it's because you have to get so close to use it effectively and no one would willingly let someone with a knife get that close. = the term back-stabbing.

Oh, and to reveal something... hmm.... I dislike eggs with a passion. That is, as food. The smell makes me think of sewers.

Heh! Speaking of that.... I got caught drawing a picture of a man with a penis in the 3rd grade and had to write 100 sentences saying "I will not draw naked people". I was instructed to get it signed be a parent and I forged my mom's name and got away with it (in the 3rd grade). :P

[cjs55]

Damn these repressive educational organizations!

I could imagine why forging your mom's signature might be a good idea in such a case. If only I could have avoided the principal calling my mom and telling them what a sexual deliquent I was.

[moni]

heh, speaking of past vulgar childhood experiences... (although this one doesn't involve penises)

you guys made me remember the first time i learned the middle finger which was in pre-school. my friend showed it to me (she learned it from her older brother), and neither of us knew what it meant. but we got scolded by a teacher to not do that (with no reason...).

on that note, one of my cousins in Okinawa, Japan who's a senior in high school, said that sticking the middle finger is the "in thing" now... and they have no idea that's associated with fuck you... or fuck off. so yeah, in a class picture, my mom said that she saw a couple of kids sticking their middle fingers.

[Architectonic]

I'm adding law to the list as one of the courses I am attempting to apply for at university, even though I have absolutely no intention of studying law at all.

[kendoiwan]

My deepest fear is that my younger brother (23 istp) will end up hating me and we have to fight to the death... I have no reason to fear this as we are quite close, but I have nightmares about it regularly and fear that he harbors resentment towards me for all the years of torment I inflicted on him when I was still bigger and stronger than he (no longer the case, he is a physical genius, all american athlete, and about to turn pro boxing, I wouldn't want to fight him if I didn't have to...)

I posted this because I had the nightmare this morning/last night so it's fresh in my mind still...FYI

[kwis]

Nighthawk, you are awesome(not because you kill people- just in general).

I also pissed myself because I was too afraid to find a teacher. In the middle of the lunchroom. Its kind of wierd how I can remember this and have no sort of embarassment/shame at all about it but if i walk past a group of people and they start laughing, Ill think they are making fun of me.

Every time I post I get distracted and watch the lightsaber fight like 20 times and anaylze the shit out of the "choreography".

Hence, this qualifier. Still, I admire people who can be warm, but have the ability to be hard as a diamond when that's called for. Thus, my timing.

Just reveal that you're the president of the NH fan club... I'm a member myself there's no shame in it, Mr. President...

[kuranes]

I like to smile at people on the street who strike me as someone who has a heart, or could use a lift. It's silly of me, but I think of it as me rewarding them or helping them. They may forget it within minutes, or not even notice it. Some smile back, in a way that you can tell they appreciate it. Others look at me like "What do you want?"

Sometimes we will even have a little conversation that references the weather or something. But I am usually showing by body English that i'm not stopping for long.

Every once in a while I'll pick up that somebody had WANTED me to stay longer and open things up, but it's too late by the time I realize it. I've already signaled that the ships passing during the day . . .have indeed begun their passing.

After noticing one of these, I might tarry a bit longer the next time an actual conversation occurs, but then I might unwittingly make a more cynical person think I was just "setting them up" with this rapport. I'll start to get that "What do you want?" look and I realize I have stayed too long. This is, of course, especially true with pretty girls, who are used to people trying to catch their eye.

And so, if it happens to be one of them who looks regretful that I have ended our meeting, I feel foolish for a few moments. I'll think "Why did I wrap that up so quick? She was sort of encouraging me to continue." Then I'll forgive myself and quickly forget it, and move on.

[abathur]

I guess I was 11 or so... me and a few of my friends talked some kid (7ish) into blowing up a condom. Well, that was the result. He asked us what it was. We didn't want to tell him and then have to explain it all, so we just said it was a balloon. We never tried to make him blow it up, but he did. (it was on the ground in the park, presumably used but we didn't inspect it that close.) Feel a little bad every time I think about that, laughed my ass off at the time though.

I've had dreams about fighting with MY brother too. We've had many real ones. One time it was so intense that when it was over we saw the kitchen fridge out in the middle of the room. Neither of us remembered even bumping it. His bed was broken too, I think. Or I'll dream disagreeing about moving a household he and I used to share. I HATE moving. And so right now I'm living my nightmare even though it's not one with my brother in it!

Ooo, I've heard a recording of that movement. It's super fast. It's a really cool song. I can sort of play it really really slowly. It would take tons of practice to play it up to speed with all the notes.

Someone dared me to whip it out in class playtime, and being the little SP I was back in the time, I obliged. Poor girls of that class. More likely poor me, being grounded for a month.

I made my first grade teacher storm out in the middle of classtime, barge into the school office, and tell the principal that she absolutely refused to have me enter her room ever again.

I probably would've run into the problem in kindergarden, except there was a wide array of toys (linkin logs!) that I always had my pick of (since I would be done first).

What caused her breakdown:

She had given me 10 sheets of grid paper with a 10x10 set of cells on each. She told me to write the numbers from 0-1000 in them. I told her there wasn't enough room to go past 999. Then I finished in well less than an hour because I was filling in the 1's digits in columns, the 10's by rows, and the 100s by the sheet.

The end.

Actually, I felt (still feel) really horrible about it because he was a young soldier probably. I'm certain if I had not been bigger than him, he would have killed me. I can still see his eyes in my nightmares. He did jump me, but it doesn't make it any better. I feel like a murderer.

Not sure if this will help at all, but I clearly remember something my karate instructor in college told everyone in his classes: the moment another person has decided to attack you is the moment that person has decided your life has no value.

Now, I am not in your situation, but maybe that perspective might help you in dealing with that nightmare. I hope you are able to overcome that some day.

I don't know if there's anything i haven't revealed about myself. I was born with a birth defect in my face and had 3 surgeries on it with I was 3-6 or so. I also had surgery for a hernia(sp?) when I was 2 (from trying to lift something too heavy). I had nightmares and wet the bed and wore a diaper at night till I was like 7 years old. I got sick all the time with barking cough. i have very low tolerance for repetition and do drastic things to avoid it, like faking sickness for a month to avoid going to school in 3rd grade, convincing my parents to let me homeschool, cheating on periodic tests to buy more time to play video games, and most recently quitting my first job 2 weeks after starting it (bagging groceries and pushing carts around a parking lot basically). my parents divorced when I was about 13 and I didn't really care, around the same time I started going to a oneness pentecostal church (UPCI) and became a fanatic christian for maybe 2 or 3 years before acknowledging that it was all very weird and uncomfortable and not for me.

I have spoken in tongues, and cried, and danced (ridiculously) and run the aisles. I was the best bible quizzer in my state (at least in our denomination, which didn't compete with any others of course). I have preached from the pulpit. I thought I was called by God to be a minister.

I started masturbating accidentally when i was 6 years old. i'm multiorgasmic. i'm a virgin (but only 20 years old). I'm scared to death of sex, or closeness at all really. i've never had a girlfriend with the exception of a stupid 14 year old crush thing that lasted 1 week and involved us talking through emails admitting that we both had crushes and which i became depressed about for 6 or 9 months afterward.

I have pretty bad dandruff though it's usually trapped underneath my very thick hair but i scratch my scalp a lot. I still have acne, and I'm too lazy to be bothered shaving even though my facial hair is most likely unattractive. i'm the most undefined/undecided person i can imagine, I change my mind a ridiculous amount even for a P. but many times I think i'm a blank person with no personality. and i'm obviously quite full of myself (look at how much i've written, in hopes that people will read and know me and say something to/about me) (and look at how i've tried to reverse the effect of that and make it look like i really am humble by criticizing myself, and this parenthesis does it too and makes it recursive, etc).

uh what else. i'm wearing an upper retainer which is a ridiculous huge plastic thing that goes up against the roof of my mouth and i have to wear it for like a year. my lips are extremely dried and chapped right now, probably due to my not drinking (or eating) anything while at school or work.

i'm currently relishing every moment of chaos, anger, anguish, fear, greed, depravity, and anything that might remotely lead to some kind of anarchy, caused by the hurricane katrina. to hear things like the government declaring martial law and shoot-to-kill, zero tolerance orders, excites me, in a very subtle and remotely hopeless way (as I know everything will be back to normal soon enough). it's incredible, people are being real, and saying the things the normally wouldn't dare to say. and violently attacking the notions we take for granted, I heard someone on TV almost breaking down crying and swearing and almost yelling about how the rich owners of some corporations could forego their ridiculous wages for a day and "save" thousands of people. and I guess i'm just that desperately bored by the status quo.

When I was in second grade, I was bored during class and started spacing out. I was sitting underneath the wall clock in the classroom and started playing with the chord dangling beside me. All of a sudden, everything went black. When I woke up, I was horrified to find the entire class and the teacher all hovering around my desk. Apparently the clock fell, hit me on the head and knocked me out. Heh.

[DevRock]

This probably has roots in my always seeking attention (I was always the class clown) but I think I've always dreamed of being a singer. I worship Rob Halford of Judas Priest (and no, I'm not gay) and would love to be in his shoes. I played guitar in a metal band during high school and college and had dreams of being a rock star. But, I've never revealed my desire to be a singer.
Now, I'm an out of shape dude who sits in a cubicle all day and hasn't played guitar for years.
Oh, and I can safely say I don't recall a long period of time where I can say I actually felt truly happy, even though I have a "good life." Sad, ain't it?
I have other secrets I may or may not reveal. :)

I often wonder if the world has it all wrong. Is it really a good thing to work 40, 50, 60 hours a week for scraps of paper we exchange for goods -- most of which are wholly unnecessary -- and get caught up in a cycle of wanting and acquiring and becoming indebted and trapped, when really at our core we're just animals with higher thinking abilities. Then I remember that I really do like bad reality TV, and buying prepackaged foods, and having fast transportation, and keeping my home at a temperate 73 degrees, and heading off to Best Buy for Lost, Season 1. And then I go to work.

I despise being noticed and feel anxious if there are more people within sight than I could count at a glance. I can't stop analyzing my choices and can't get rid of the guilt caused by justified disappointment. I've secretly yearned for an apocolypse for as long as I can rermember, but the thought of people needlessly harming each other depresses me.

[illusivemind]

My deepest fear is that my younger brother (23 istp) will end up hating me and we have to fight to the death... I have no reason to fear this as we are quite close, but I have nightmares about it regularly and fear that he harbors resentment towards me for all the years of torment I inflicted on him when I was still bigger and stronger than he (no longer the case, he is a physical genius, all american athlete, and about to turn pro boxing, I wouldn't want to fight him if I didn't have to...)

I posted this because I had the nightmare this morning/last night so it's fresh in my mind still...FYI



I've had dreams about fighting with MY brother too. We've had many real ones. One time it was so intense that when it was over we saw the kitchen fridge out in the middle of the room. Neither of us remembered even bumping it. His bed was broken too, I think. Or I'll dream disagreeing about moving a household he and I used to share. I HATE moving. And so right now I'm living my nightmare even though it's not one with my brother in it!

I was that younger brother.

My older brother used to torture me when we were kids, and he would tape-record it on a fake radio show he called 'sadistry'. He became a martial artist, and I did too thinking of the day I would kick his ass. As time went on I grew bigger than him (He's nine years older than me) and friends of his remarked that I'd kill him one day.

In reality, I was so starved for attention growing up that the horrible games we played were better than nothing. After he moved out of home, he changed and became aware and really apologetic for what he had done and spent a lot of time making up for it. Because he's my brother and i love him, I absolutely forgave him, understanding some of the shit he was going through as a kid.

[attila_the_hunny]

[Dman]

I act like a real gentleman and nicest guy in the world when I meet people. I wait until I am comfortable and know people well before I begin to act like a jerk by arguing arrogantly and pushing their buttons just to get a good reaction. However I only do this to people I feel have the demeanor and/or intelligence to debate with me. It’s like a compliment in a twisted way. Otherwise I become indifferent to them. I feel people are more honest when they are slightly irritated, plus they give the topic more attention that way. I like to keep people just annoyed enough to engage, without pushing them too far so that they give up or leave in disgust. That’s usually when I apologize or back off.

I have a horrible time determining how others perceive me, and yes I do care quite a bit (although it can depend upon the person/people). I intentionally act like a pushover and the easiest guy in the world to get along with irl, so that I will be underestimated and better prepared to make my move when the time is right or if necessary. Although I would prefer to not have to. This works well in my personal life or on the street, but can be quite tricky in business, where the stakes are typically higher, and being passive about it is dangerous. It’s interesting.

I also wish I was a more effective ‘E’ even while retaining my true “I” self. I’m getting better at it, but holy lord it’s a slow and painful process.

I would not give up my blue-collar working class roots and background for anything, I truly believe it makes me a better person, yet I am striving to ensure my children do not have to endure that same struggle that I had to. It feels right and wrong at the same time.

Some of the subjects I found the least interesting in high school are now some of my favorite topics (economics, finance, politics). The ones I liked most in high school are still interesting to me, but have proved to be the most useless in my life (science, writing).

I won the school spelling bee in grade school, and was always a top contender in junior high and high school (I would call in sick once it got to the finals level where we had to go up in front of the entire school to compete). It has never paid any benefits that I am aware of, other than being able to tell people they spelled something wrong and appear as a know-it-all nerd. I also have a subconscious tendency to discount a person’s intelligence when I see a word they write is misspelled (even if I know they are smarter than me). Not the same as a typo.

I hate to admit that as I get further and further in my career, I find myself slowly drifting closer to republican views than democrats – which I predicted back when I was in high school (“I don’t make enough money to be republican…yet!”)
Scary. What was that old short story, where the guy struggles his whole life to break into the “system” to be a censor, so he can change the world, yet by the time he becomes a censor he has become one of “them” and ends up condemning himself for thoughts (a letter he wrote) he had when he was younger? Kind of 1984-ish, but I don’t remember the author or text. I think it was a Hispanic guy.

I see the glass as half full.

I try to share all of my knowledge and experience with people simply for the satisfaction of helping them or enlightening them, even though I usually come off as an arrogant know-it-all or nerd. But truly I enjoy teaching people my lessons and knowledge just for the sake of being kind. I find it is rarely perceived as such.

I was also at Disney World earlier this summer, for two weeks. That place is frickin awesome, I don’t care what anyone else says. Even knowing how corporate and contrived it is, they still totally pull it off and it works. Humidity kind of sucks though, I’m not used to that. I don’t think I’ll go in July next time.

I also believe joft’s ranting post is amusing, whether it’s all true or not.

He pushed it though.

I believe people who yearn for apocalypse or chaos or whatever are the type of people who make the world a worse place, because they want to impose their own unhappiness and/or frustration on other people rather than sucking it up and taking care of themselves. In other words immature and inexperienced. No offense, just an observation I’ve made irl as well as here. I don’t know how to say it without it appearing offensive, but honestly, majority of posters who say things like that are young, unmarried, no kids, never had a real full time job or have only been supporting themselves for a couple years at most. In other words immature and inexperienced. Is there a nicer, more concise way to say that?

I think the status quo is only boring (I read as threatening) if you are not in it, and if you are not in it is not due to some ideological superiority but rather because you can’t or haven’t found out how to make it work for you yet and are pissed about that

I could totally relate to Jack Nicholson’s line in the movie “As Good As It Gets” –
“It's not true. Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that's their story. Good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good.”

I believe there are two types of people in this world regarding this subject… those who use that anger to cause other people misery, and those who use that anger to capitalize on the system. Lose-lose versus win-win.

I believe that you might get rid of dandruff by brushing your hair gently but thoroughly EVERY DAY after washing it. Use one of those brushes with the stiff bristles and the little balls on the end of them (don’t get excited by the words “stiff” and “little balls” in the same sentence), those tend to massage your scalp and stimulate (easy now) your skin glands. Eventually the natural oils in your skin will eliminate your dandruff without having to use that stinky dandruff shampoo.

If you skip showering on some days or don’t regularly brush your hair with a good brush, your dandruff will not go away. If you do these things now and you still have chronic dandruff, then, uhhh…shave your head and quit wearing hats.

[mgb]

I don't have dandruff. I don't brush my hair either. I use a pretty expensive shampoo and conditioner though, so that might help.

[SwirlingSugarSparkles]

I agree with Dman about Disney World. That place is frickin' awesome and I go every year.

[mgb]

When I was 11 instead of a trip to Disneyland we drove up Vancouver Island to Port Hardy and took a ferry up to Prince Rupert. When we were in Terrace I broke my collar bone. I was glad the trip was over and resented my parents for not taking us to Disneyland.

Now I'm glad I haven't been there and that I did get to see Northern BC.

I do this a lot myself, although often not intentionally. I often come across as a pushover because I am quiet and I smile a lot. I found it devastating in the military, where a known opponent would underestimate me as a good natured fool, and then I would kick his ass on the training field. Came in handy during boxing competition too.

I too only seriously debate with those who's quality of mind I respect. I don't play the sheep role most times, but me being an I, I'm naturally observant, so I do more listening than talking most times... I do play that role whenever I come into contact with SJ's or authority figures in general so that they underestimate what :devil: I'm truely capable of... to quote eyebyte "mu ha ha ha" I find some points of agreement regarding those who scorn the more fortunate ie they haven't figured out how to get over, by, or through, but also some strong points of disagreement, a debate we've had before, the system is designed so that somebody has to lose, everyone can't win in capitalism... maybe your not the elitist jerk I had you pegged for... :whistle:

PS I also agree that most of the "the world is a terrible place, life sucks", folk around here have yet to live in the world and don't appreciate how good they really do have it...

[kwis]

I am a huge hypocrite. I find myself doing things that I hate other people for doing. For example people who think they are important and popular because they are on their cellphone non stop. Now when my phone rings and I answer it while walking around in school I always feel kind of wierd. I feel sort of better because people will think Im cool but at the same time I feel like a total sell out because I care about what they think. Another example is I just got a new car. Its a semi riced out accord. Now it kind of makes me feel more accepted and cooler because my car is totally EXTREME but I also feel like a faggot because the people who like how my car looks are people I wouldnt like anyways (except for my stupid friends who are all "whoa dude" :banghead: ). This one is sweet though because if someone hates ricers I can just say, hey I bought it like that. I also sometimes buy rip off name brand cloths and will wear them just to see how people react differently to me.

I also hate people who try. That one is pretty easy to explain because I think its a defense mechanism. I never try my hardest at anything so if I fail I have a easy excuse. Whenever I see some girls talking about how they studied for 8 hours for a test and I didnt study at all and pass it I feel superior. But I kind of envy that they can give a shit about things that mean nothing to me.

Eating cheese late at night is supposed to give you nightmares. Actually, I think it just loads your digestion just enough to disturb your sleep slightly and this results in your dreams being a bit more memorable.

I don't know any tricks for making your dreams more cheerful.

I ate cheese last night. I dreamt that I was watching a segment on the news where the proposed moon base had been canceled. There was an animation of what the base was supposed to look like(mostly underground). I remember the bulldozers looked very heavy.

[kuranes]

They talked about the "cheese will give you nightmares" thing on the radio yesterday, and it seemed that someone actually did a test to see if it was true. ( I wonder who paid for that test? I'd like to meet this person ) What they determined ( the test wasn't extensive ) was that it seemed to cause "wacky" dreams but not "nightmares" per se. I eat a lot of cheese, and it has never caused mine to be especially different. They are wacky and/or spooky most of the time anyway. And that's the way I like them, unless they are WAY scary.

I'm interested in lucid dreams, like Madrigal.

When I fly in a dream, I always have to watch out for telephone wires and electrical cables. Wonder what that means?

Once I flew so high, the earth became a small speck, and then further out the sun became lost as just another star. I realized that I was "lost in space." Normally, I have a hard time even getting as high as the top of a skyscraper. I have to use tricks with momentum building to get that last bit of ooomph to clear the parapet.

I seem to have a propensity to look over ramshackle old docks, with tankers, hoists, rusting gantries, huge chains, as thick as your arm, hanging from seldom used beams . . . . . seen in the early morning light, or evening's last light . . . what the photographer's call "the magic hour".

I get a lot of dreams set in the early evening, either as the light is turning golden and starting to fade into a soft pink or when the sky is a flaming red. I haven't worked out what it means yet. They don't always arrive with the help of cheese either, but it's a useful tool if I want to kick start them.

I've tried to read Jung on dreams and he puts a really strong emphasis on a personal interpretation of dreams. So he wouldn't necessarily hold to the view that all dreams about, say, flying are really dreams about, say, freedom. His approach would be to ask what the concept of flying per se means to the person who had the dream. What I find interesting in what you say, Kuranes, is that you experience a dream setting in BOTH early morning and evening, which are technically two very different times of day. If I ask myself what they might have in common I think half-light, an obfuscation of seeing, a transition period, a transition between dark and light, or possibly the point at which one moves inexorably from one state to another.

You see, now you've got me analysing again......

[Amaris]

I'm currently in the midst of considering a serious career change. Not just employers, but enough to merit having to go back to school to do so.

Do I dislike my job? No. Do I not get paid enough? No. Nothing in those related fields. I merely am looking for a place of near-permanant residence in which my time will feel worthy and fullfilling enough. I always knew I would end up doing something like this; and know that I will always desire more of myself and what I can do. However, there comes a point where others can matter more than ones goals, and finding a point in which you are satisified enough to stop is the hardest part.

It involved going back to grad school for a degree in my new field. While I am becoming a bit burnt out on my new career (after 10 years), I'm still glad that I made the change. Even my worst days now are better than sitting in some rectal focal point of the world, living outdoors in environmental extremes, filthy, hungry, getting shot at, and dealing with some SJ moron as my commander. Overall it was a positive thing.

I had eight brothers and three sisters. Whoever said things were cheaper by the dozen had a few too many to drink.

[nottaprettygal]

Random things:

Last night I ate fast food for probably the first time in a year. Damn alcohol.

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my mouth, as well as unwrap a Starburst.

I've played the piano since I was 5.

I used to be extremely religious.

My second toe is longer than my big toe.

[ChristiRB]

I've cheated on every bf I have ever had. >.<

[smash0gre]

i was eight when i lost my temper and took it out on someone. i was so mortified at the damage i did that i walked away from every potential fight until i was 18.

so i went through highschool labelled as a pussy ~ at 6'2" and 210lb
they never found out i was merely avoiding killing anyone.

evidently i got over being mortified. i tested out in the CF psyche eval as "situationally ethical" when i was 19.

pretty much if i can rationalize it, i suffer zero guilt. that means, nh, that the other guy never haunts me.

this does not make me better than you, nighthawk. i worry about that sometimes. trade you consciences for a week.

these days i appear to be harbouring all my rage into the muscle tissue of both forearms. it tightens as i sleep, closing the bloodvessels to my hand and wrist, and pulling in the tendons until i wake with my hands in a murderous array of pain. i've been wearing a rollerblade wristguard on both hands (right is much worse than the left) to bed for about 4 years. this mitigates the pain, but with diminishing success.

perhaps i'm just waiting for the guy.

Trust me, you can completely forget that silly handjob nonsense.;)

[Lee]

If all my family died tomorrow, I don't think I would care that much. I would feel sad primarily because of the position that put me in, not because I would never see them again. I don't think I have ever loved anybody in any capacity since I was about 5, and that situation really saddens me sometimes.

Thanks. This explains a lot.

[sasapurdue]

I am 24. At age 23 I found at that my dad has been having affairs on my mom throughout their 30 year marriage. I also found out he was meeting women on the internet in bondage and S & M websites. LOTS of women. Of all ages. Some of them younger than me. I guess he's really into this bondage stuff.
I was blown away. My dad is the most secretive person I have ever known (INFP), I never would have guessed he was into that sort of thing.
I always wondered why I was such a fucking weirdo when my family was so functional. UHHHHH apparently I don't know what functional is. I now know we are all officially weird.

Since we are talking toes: my second and third toes are longer than my "big" toe. I have the ugliest feet ever known to mankind!

We should hang out sometime, because I could repeat this precise statement. (who knows, maybe like goes with like and we'd end up loving each other)

[and also I'm rarely saddened by it currently, but I was when I was a bit younger]

[PenguinHunter]

cjs55: I recently watched Good Will Hunting again because it came on tv. I forgot how interesting it was. One statement that caught my attention and relates here to the quote and post comes from Robin Williams' character:


SEAN
So if I asked you about art you could
give me the skinny on every art book
ever written...Michelangelo?
You know a lot about him I bet. Life's
work, criticisms, political aspirations.
But you couldn't tell me what it smells
like in the Sistine Chapel. You've
never stood there and looked up at
that beautiful ceiling. And if I asked
you about women I'm sure you could
give me a syllabus of your personal
favorites, and maybe you've been laid
a few times too. But you couldn't
tell me how it feels to wake up next
to a woman and be truly happy. If I
asked you about war you could refer me
to a bevy of fictional and non-fictional
material, but you've never been in
one. You've never held your best
friend's head in your lap and watched
him draw his last breath, looking to
you for help. And if I asked you about
love I'd get a sonnet, but you've never
looked at a woman and been truly
vulnerable. Known that someone could
kill you with a look. That someone
could rescue you from grief.
That God had put an angel on Earth
just for you. And you wouldn't know
how it felt to be her angel. To have
the love be there for her forever.
Through anything, through cancer. You
wouldn't know about sleeping sitting
up in a hospital room for two months
holding her hand and not leaving because
the doctors could see in your eyes
that the term "visiting hours" didn't
apply to you. And you wouldn't know
about real loss, because that only
occurs when you lose something you
love more than yourself, and you've
never dared to love anything that much.
I look at you and I don't see an
intelligent confident man, I don't see
a peer, and I don't see my equal. I
see a boy. Nobody could possibly
understand you, right Will? Yet you
presume to know so much about me because
of a painting you saw. You must know
everything about me. You're an orphan,
right?

If thought about that quotation, the bolded part especially, every once in a while for the past few months. I haven't yet decided if it cuts me or if I can just ignore it. I may never.

[Helios]

I have scars at the very top of my upper inner thighs, around the area that meets the scrotum, from a hernia operation I had when I was 2 years old


I have one from just below my iliac crest to my hip socket, where they inserted my "new femur" and other assorted hardware. I also have various screw and drill holes on the leg itself, but they are so tiny they don't amount to much. All the less so, hiden by leg hair.


Given how many times I have smashed my face up I shoud have more damage on it, but a good plastic surgeon can hide alota stupid injurys!

It helped (hey I can speak, if somewhat monotonously!) but I still can't tell when to use voiced "TH" (as in /the/) or unvoiced "th" (as in /thing/) for shit.

I also avoid saying "ch" words if possible because its really hard for me to pronounce.

[DeadDove]

This past Friday me and my 2nd cousin went to the local Indian Casino to enter a Texas Hold 'em Tournament. He's an older guy that is now a paraplegic after being shot from behind with a shotgun when he was 19. He's been pushing me to go and get "my feet wet" because he has confidence in my game. Anyhow, when we got to the parking lot he stashed his little .22 behind my seat. We met up with two of my cousins and when we were getting in the elevator to go to the poker room we got stopped by security. They told us (me and another of my cousins) that we weren't allowed to have bags in the casino. My cousin had a backpack and I had satchel that contained a poker magazine, my CD case and CD player. They proceeded to search our bags since we had just came from a store where I bought some peptobismol tablets, and my 2nd cousin backed up to the elevator so they wouldn't see that he had a bag underneath his wheelchair. It definately seemed like a racially motivated stop and search. Anyhow, if they had seen and checked my 2nd cousin's bag, they would have found somes knifes he had on him (that he always keeps on him, because he lives not even a block away from a where there's BOTH rival Mexican gangs living on the same street across from one another and in some cases just two houses down from one another). When we got up to the poker room though, no one there told us anything about having a backpack and a satchel. At break, one of the dealers even watched my bag for me while I went to the restroom. The reason why I took my bag is because you have to sign up for the tournament 2 hrs ahead of time to be sure you can get in, and I wanted to have things that would preoccupy me until its was time to start.

ZA: I've been run over by a semi. Head on, hiway speeds. I walked away.


My sister was basically hit with the force of a semi on night in October. It's still terrifying to think about. A flat-bed truck dropped a counter-weight for a crane in the lane (right outside a curve) I-40 in Asheville, NC and she and her boyfriend hit that (going 60 miles an hour, probably), pulled over and got out of the car, and within probably two minutes, the semi hit the counter weight and the car, which hit my sister. The next vehicle stopped to help, and it was her boyfriend's boss from his first job... she actually stood up (with help) and walked to sit in the jeep while they waited for the ambulance. In the end, she sustained a bunch of broken bones, crush injuries, minor internal injuries, abrasions all over, and like six mini-strokes, but she's doing well now, I guess this is about six months later. I have to say--I have been terrified in my life, but I have never been as terrified as when I got the call about that accident.

I may have already told that story, though, so here's something else about me:

I've started a little garden for the spring/summer. I've planted two tomato plants, a shitload of basil, and some cilantro. I might plant some jalepenos also.

With a group of about a dozen that had just left a Greek restaurant, I ran about three-and-a-half blocks through 90 mph minds, lightning, airborne debris; and rain that "fell" at a three-degree incline. Strangely, not once did I feel fear; only shocked disbelief.

[TelecomClone]

an adequate user of Fe and NiIn other words, a fortune teller. You can't feel over the internet, Nemesis, which makes your primary traits thoroughly useless here. If you were a thinker, you might have realized this long ago:

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70179-0.html?tw=wn_index_2
"Don't work too hard," wrote a colleague in an e-mail today. Was she sincere or sarcastic? I think I know (sarcastic), but I'm probably wrong.

According to recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, I've only a 50-50 chance of ascertaining the tone of any e-mail message. The study also shows that people think they've correctly interpreted the tone of e-mails they receive 90 percent of the time.

"That's how flame wars get started," says psychologist Nicholas Epley of the University of Chicago, who conducted the research with Justin Kruger of New York University. "People in our study were convinced they've accurately understood the tone of an e-mail message when in fact their odds are no better than chance," says Epley.

The researchers took 30 pairs of undergraduate students and gave each one a list of 20 statements about topics like campus food or the weather. Assuming either a serious or sarcastic tone, one member of each pair e-mailed the statements to his or her partner. The partners then guessed the intended tone and indicated how confident they were in their answers.

Those who sent the messages predicted that nearly 80 percent of the time their partners would correctly interpret the tone. In fact the recipients got it right just over 50 percent of the time.

"People often think the tone or emotion in their messages is obvious because they 'hear' the tone they intend in their head as they write," Epley explains.

At the same time, those reading messages unconsciously interpret them based on their current mood, stereotypes and expectations. Despite this, the research subjects thought they accurately interpreted the messages nine out of 10 times.

The reason for this is egocentrism, or the difficulty some people have detaching themselves from their own perspective, says Epley. In other words, people aren't that good at imagining how a message might be understood from another person's perspective.

"E-mail is very easy to misinterpret, which not only triggers flame wars but lots of litigation," says Nancy Flynn, executive director of the e-Policy Institute and author of guidebooks E-Mail Rules and Instant Messaging Rules. Many companies battle workplace lawsuits triggered by employee e-mail, according to Flynn.

S"People write absolutely, incredibly stupid things in company e-mails," said Flynn.

I met a sleepover friend of Andie Mcdowell, I told her I was envious.

[Eileen]

new emotional revelations of eileen:

1. i regularly experience what seems to be ... infinity, or access to all possibility. there seems to be a relationship between this emotional experience and breezy, warm evenings. i have a hard time describing it except to say it feels as if i'm cracked open and completely receptive.

2. i have a bit of a tendency towards melancholy (not quite depression) but i kind of like being melancholy. sometimes i just like to sit in sadness. sometimes i welcome it.

3. lately i've felt pretty lost. perhaps that will pass with the hectic end-of-semester. perhaps not.

randomimities:

a. i led a very successful united way campaign this year.
b. i am a very skittish car passenger, especially if it's my car that i'm riding in.
c. i hate green peas.
d. at work, the janitors have put out all of these sticky mouse traps. about two weeks ago, i walked into the department office and my coworker, mrs. j told me that there was a mouse on the trap in the corner. she was bothered by it; i was not. i know mice are filthy and spread germs, but i kind of like them anyway... they just should be outside instead of inside. i figure--they're creatures that want to live, just like everything else wants to live.

so thinking that i could save the mouse, i went outside and tried to pry the thing off with a fork. no dice. the poor little thing was struggling and struggling, and i couldn't get it off the sticky trap. i was seriously distraught at the creature's suffering by this point, and i walked back into the school, hiding the mouse underneath an envelope, and i went back into the office.

mrs j was disturbed that i brought it back in, and i explained to her that i couldn't save it, so i was going to kill it by dropping a book on it so that it didn't have to struggle anymore. she looked really weirded out but commented on my merciful nature. thankfully, the mouse seemed to have suffocated on the trap before i could find a book that seemed suitable to drop on a doomed mouse.

when i recounted this to some of my coworkers later, mrs c--the nicest person in the world--laughed and laughed, and G, the only male in our department, made his exit by handing me of mice and men for my next euthanasia attempt.

[Hustler]

Eileen, you're weird.

Oooh, I have a hit by a car story.

So, every year my university has this big end of the year party (like every school I imagine) on the last day of classes. Anyways, that year I'd been walking around and heard that some guy got hit by a car walking over to the school.

Well, it turns out I know the guy pretty well. We aren't friends or anything, but not enemies either. What happened was he was walking along, drunk, and he stepped off the curb, stumbled, and took a car right in the face.

Now, the story didn't end there. For the rest of the day people I knew were finding out about this. One of my roommates was super happy about this. He just hated him and started jumping up and down he was so excited. It was kind of odd. A lot of other people were moping around worried about him and there was this kid jumping up and down. Also, this girl I had dated was also laughing when she found out. (This guy had obviously made an impression on a lot of people). I think it sort of turned her into a kind of social pariah because everyone was so serious.

Well, a few months later, he was back on his feet, mostly finished his reconstructive surgeries, and the jumping up and down guy, another friend and I were out for a drink. We honestly spent a good 30 minutes struggling to breathe because we were laughing so hard. I mean, we had jokes about him screwing in his teeth after sleeping with a girl, stuff like that.

I suppose none of that at all relates to your sister, hope she's ok, but the head on kind of reminded me of that.
