ITT We talk about stuffs.
So, yeah. Some of you might remember that back in September I was hopelessly depressed over several things, primarily over a girl. Well, I'm not hopeless depressed, but I still like that same girl. I had like no self-confidence up until just recently, and I own it all to a friend of mine. She, too, was hopelessly depressed to a point where she had inflicted harm upon herself and had called me at one point saying that she was thinking of suicide. Over the months after that she began to get reacquainted with herself in a way, and she found a really great guy. She taught me to look at the bright side of things and that when life has you down that there's always a better tomorrow. I recommend for all of you people who are down in the dumps to find a really good friend who will listen to you and help you go through the worst and the best. No one has to take the shit that gets thrown at everyone alone, because there is always someone who will be more than happy to help. A boyfriend, girlfriend, bestfriend, whatever.
I don't have pics of my bestfriend (who is like my sister, and I'll refer to her as a sister form here-to-for), BUT I do have pics of the girl I like.
pic of her (http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Andy_Damen/pic.jpg?t=1202882131)
Easy to find stuff on facebook, actually.
Well, enough of that for now.
I've recently watched some new and not so new movies. Here's a quick rundown.
Across the Universe (http://moviehawk.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/universe.jpg)
Summary: A man, Jude, goes to America and falls in love with a girl named Lucy.
Review: For a musical, this is great. For a musical based off a particular band, this is phenomenal. The covers are overall the best Beatles covers that I've ever heard, and that's saying something being a bit of a Beatles fanatic. Some quick complaints are that some of the songs are cut down short (Girl is interrupted after the first minute with Helter Skelter). The ending, of which I will not spoil, can leave much to desire. It's one of those endings that make you go 'Wait, THIS is the ending?'. Overall, a great movie. 9/10.
To Hell and Back: The Audie Murphy Story(http://www.audiemurphy.com/mov_1769/G-52046W.JPG)
Summary: A man is sent to the third division in World War 2 and becomes the most decorated war hero of WW2.
Review: Great war movie, even better than the alltime classic The Longest Day. My favorite war movie ever, and a must see. 10/10
moar later maybe
Bookswise, I've been reading a lot of the Ender series. Having finally finished the original story revolving around Ender and his family, I'm now reading the Shadow series revolving around Bean. A great set of books.

Hurray Damen! Glad to hear you aren't in the dumps man. Thats really good to hear. =D
I know I, for one, cannot accomplish such a task. I don't trust anyone, including myself. And my chances of actually gaining such a friend in the first place... impossible. For me. I only had one friend I actually trusted, and they so happened to be the only person I ever loved. I got lucky, and it won't happen again.
-
Damen, I really feel happy for you. I didn't know you were depressed, maybe because I'm not here that long. And well, many of my bestfriends are girls. And they're all awesome.
-
I have alot of close friends... Yet I can't tell them anything... It's... A Long story. But I'm so glad you feel better about yourself ^___^ You still sound like a rapist though.
-
thats not nice loren.....
meh i have a friend like that, problem is that she is the girl i like and well....i dont fell like telling everyone
-
It's not my fault. ;_;
-
Vector, you're really lucky and fortunate to have such a friend. Distance shouldn't matter.
I don't have alot of close friends. I could throw a pity party, but I won't. The friends I have... well, I'm afraid to really talk to them. Any of them. Thats a good wrap up. =/

Alright all you loners and lovers, tomorrow is the day for the Lovers to be together and the Loners to be lonely, but don't let that get you down in the dumps. Loneliness is only a frame of mind, so just think positive and be positive despite how lonely you are.
Having said that, I have to state that tomorrow is a day of love, not of self-pity.
Today was a not-so-great day for me, actually. That girl looks more beautiful towards Valentine's Day, it seems. Two more of my friends got the person they've been after, and I'm happy for them but at the same time envious of them.
I found myself wondering today, am I in love with my bestfriend? I think that I feel love, but not the same love that a wife and a husband share.
-
*Hugs Damen*
-
LINE STEALER NOM NOM NOM. I kid. Actually, I think its a day for Lovers to Love and Loners to be lonely. :x
Its a day of self pity for some. For others, its just Thursday. Like for me.
Its love you feel, sure. But you can have a best friend, and love them, and thats better then officialy being GF/BF some times.
-
I did steal that line from you, I remember now.
-
<_<
Well, don't let tomorrow get you down. I know you say it won't, but it does for a lot of people. Everyone will have a valentine by some point.
-
I dun think I've ever been depressed. Even during this summer when things were pretty shitty I wasn't...I guess I'm just an optimist.
-
You're damn lucky. I'm depressed often. v__v
-
Last year Valentines Day cost me $480 and we're not even together anymore so it doesn't work >_>
-
You're damn lucky. I'm depressed often. v__v
Damn, then I'm a lucky person. I'm neva depressed. Oh, once I was. When I saw the C grade I got in English.
-

That's not what I meant silly. I meant weeks of sadness, doubt and tons of sad songs or blinding metal to get your mind of things.

Kaiser, you don't have to act so... important like that. Glad you're happy. Some people aren't. I've been in the slums for years, for /many/ reasons. I'm glad you're optimistic, I'm not. ^_^ Ever.
What Loren said.
-
First of all: What you quoted has nothing to do with Kaiser.
Second: Meh, I was not serious.
-
I find it funny how all of you say you're "depressed". Stupid teens ending life because they aren't getting attention. I can understand feeling lonely or sad. It's hard to get a boy/girlfriend these days. Everyone has angst. Children feel it's easier to label themselves with depression so they can put a name to their general moping about.
If you're seriously, truly depressed at this point in life because of something a lot of teens go through, then it just proves that generations are getting weaker.
I've had a debilitating illness since I was 10. My mother has the same illness, but even worse. We're both extremely positive, we laugh all the time to keep our spirits up. And yet I'm still on the edge of my peer group. The fringe, nearly falling away. But I still push myself bit by bit to stay in.
Real problems that affect you emotionally can be dealt with in some large ways by having a good attitude. Not so real problems can and should be dealt with even easier. I'm not saying any of you are lying or crying over something fake. Just don't cut your wrists over spilt milk.
>_>
Man, I should stop thinking.

Next subject.
-
You have a reason to be depressed, but that doesn't mean you don't have a choice in your reaction to the problem.
-
I can't change any of it. Why have false hope that it will change, when it won't?
-
I didn't say you could just turn off what you know for a fact will stick with you forever. What I'm saying is that if you choose to not let what you've been handed oppress you, maybe you'll find some things that will pump up the good in your life. It may sound like the typical inspirational mumbo jumbo, but everyone should try anyways.
You have a lot of time ahead of you. Do something of worth, if you can, because you'll feel better for it.

Aww, are you sad that I meant RL friends?

I know i am but 7 time zones really mess w it, but i have to others who know just as much about me as i do

we all want him back in it but hes always dying when we are doing shit

I was sitting in my Government class today and the student teacher was teaching. He told us that when he was in high school, the guys would break up with the girls on Feb. 13(to avoid having to buy gifts) and the girls with the guys on Feb. 15(just to get the gifts). Happened to him once, apparently.... ah, what a loser.
-
POOL'S CLOSED
-
But why?
-
Cause of aids.
-
That really sucks. What kind of people would play with someone's heart to just get or get out of giving gifts?
-
My mom's bf in middle school, lawl.

This. No one should play with someone's heart. It's not very nice.
-
=\

I thought they slowed the songs down too much in the movie, particularly with "Gently Weeps", it's ungodly boring now.
The I am Sam soundtrack is chock full of beatles covers, and they're all pretty good except for like two.

What Loren said.
He wasn't acting important, he was just commenting that he'd never been depressed, and wasn't contributing to the depressing angst.
I think Flask is right, it's about staying optimistic. Most people are only depressed because they allow themselves to be. Things'll be better eventually, it's a law of the universe, Yin and Yang.
-
Yin hates me, Yang sounds like Wang.
Screw them both. <_<

I'm a nice guy, I just don't date because I don't wanna be poor.

Nice.

Next subject. Anyone has an idea?

And well, many of my bestfriends are girls. And they're all awesome.
As are mine.
Unfortunately for me, it came back to bite me in the ass when I fell for one of them. EL is currently in a pretty severe state of depression, due to that and the fact that I'm going to fail out of college, thus fucking over pretty much the rest of my life.
-
You fail out of college? Why?
-
I suck at school. Always have.
-
Just take confidence and tutoring, EL.
-
Just take confidence and tutoring, EL.
I'm assuming confidence is for the former problem and tutoring for the latter.
I don't need confidence, I have it. I'm in the "friend zone." She's already rejected me, but it's not exactly easy to get over her.
Tutoring won't help, either. I'm failing because I have no motivation to pass.
-
Motivate yourself. You KNOW you want a good life, that's motivation enough
-
Its harder then that Damen. You can't just go "MOTIVATE TIEM" and then turn happy. =/
-
Friend Zone sucks ASS. v___v

Believe me, this is coming from a once C-B student, now an A student, I know
-
It's hard to have motivation when you can't get into the program of the only thing you want to do with your life. College can be fucking oxshit.
-
And what you gonna do if you fail?
-
And what you gonna do if you fail?
Community college.
-
What's that?
-
Cheap college that doesn't give you a full degree.
-
Isn't that motivation enough?

-

Truth.
I'm lucky enough that academics come very easily to me, but I'm fairly ostracized from the college scene because I live at home and lost interest in the one club I was in, which was Biology club. All we did was raise money and give it to upper classmen to go on trips, it was a load of oxshit. Oh and I just had a spat with a couple good friends of mine (both girls) because they kept wanting to come over to my house unannounced with a bunch of their silly friends...they don't seem to understand that guys have boundaries, you know?
For the record I'm not depressed, I'm just bored and ready for spring to get here >_> It just seems like I've been doing nothing constructive with my life for the past two years is all.
EDIT: I did manage to quit browsing Gamefaqs though, that was a major waste of my life. Took some effort...
