It's not easy writing a book.
I mean, it's easier than mining coal. It's easier than most factory work. It's probably easier than a lot of office jobs as well.
But STARTING to write a book... those first few inches you have to push that boulder till it hits the edge and starts to roll downhill... THAT'S the hard part.
Not as hard as teaching, granted. Or working on a farm. Or being a doctor or a nurse or a cop or a fireman. I doubt it's as hard as construction, either, or carpentry, or plumbing, or engineering.
But STILL...

James: They do, however this is a dream. Champagne?
You aren't a stupid child Claire! We wanted to talk to you because we aren't sure it's the best thing for you, we're trying to be good parents! If you'd rather we had died in that crash as opposed to your car being damaged then please, feel free to shoot us. We're trying to look out for you Claire! You think we want you to get stuck in jail? To get killed! We don't!
@Chloe: :)
(@Star but at the beginning of August..?)
(I can't wait to drive
Ican go places
But also it means my parents have a tacsi when they go and get pissed at parties)
@Jai: I think I'm free then. :)
@Chloe: :/
(Miranda hart plays you've been framed bingo
If she's done five of the things in it, she rewards herself with a glass of wine)
(The beginning to the middle of August seems ideal.
Chloe - Jaimie and I live around seven miles or so apart. Both of us and Star live about... seventy miles away?)
Liliana: Not in the slightest.
Parasite: I have not had any before. I would like to try it.
Claire: Surely I'm more qualified to talk about what's better for me than you are? *she sighs* I didn't mean that, but a bit of appreciation would be nice. And I'm bloody well not going to jail. I've only ever been caught once, and managed to escape stupid therapy.
(Lucky!)
Onwa: *grins*
I bet you are.
James: *grabs the bottle and two flutes, popping the cork out, pouring it expertly and handing one flute over to her*
But you were caught. We're trying to look out for you Claire..
(@Sophia: Yup.
Oh yeah I was roleplaying here. Forget. Multitasking intensely.)
Morgan: It just happens every now and then. It's usually fine.
(I didn't realise channing Tatum is 35)
I lost my voice
Fourth floor of hotel
(( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdrhjeSMh1Q :) :) :) ))
((Hi, all. :) Might be slightly here.))
Liliana: I have to say, I sound good amongst a group of strangled cats.
Parasite: Thank you. *she has a sip of the champagne* It tastes... rather odd. But I like it.
Claire: I didn't fancy my chances against sixteen policemen armed with submachine guns. Because they are, y'know, policemen, and they're good. So I got put into therapy instead.
Doctor: ... What happened was almost certainly not fine.
(Hello, Adrasdos. Hello, Taia.)
(I'm sorry you've lost your voice Noelle. Maybe try warm honey and warm drinks?
Dont jump.)
(Hey Taia.)
Onwa: Mm.. sing for me.
James: *has a sip of his own*
Mmm. It's nice.
That could happen again.
(Heya Taia and Noelle!)
@Noelle: :( I don't know how long you've had that display name (I'm not good at noticing display names . . .), but you're not a pathetic waste of space.
Um . . . I echo what Jai said. I don't know anythign that helps lost voices, but honey and warm drinks sounds useful.
:/
Don't jump . . .
Noelle? *hugs*
You can always find it again. ^^
You are so important, and please, don't hurt yourself. :/
So much smoke
So much yell
It hurts
Just
Fourh
(Noelle... Suicide doesn't achieve anything
It eliminates the chances of things getting better)
Noelle . . . ?
(Noelle..? Smoke..?)
Liliana: *she has another sip of cider* What do you want me to sing?
Parasite: Whose head do you have in the basket?
Claire: Nope. I vowed to myself that I'd knock out all the cops in future. Not going back into therapy.
Onwa: what songs can you sing?
James: My brothers.
*sighs* Yeah. Okay.
Smoke...
I need
Bye
Morgan: *sighs* No. But I'll live.
*to Ember* Okay. So what now?
@Noelle: . . .
(*huggles noelle*)
(Noelle..?)
Noelle? :/ :/ :/
Are you alright, Noelle?
[hugs]
Liliana: I know a few nursery rhymes from Earth.
Parasite: Why?
Claire: So that's what I had to say.
Ember: What do you mean?
Onwa: Hmm.. sing
*thinks*
The.. the one with the mouse.. and the clock?
James: Probably because I beheaded him.
Right. Okay.
*stands up*
I'm going out. Put the pizza in the over, I'll warm it up later.
Morgan: Well, you're still here. *shrugs* Any particular reason?
(*sits upside down on settee *)
((...be safe.))
(researching gender differences in crime, so wbd)
(*hugs Moss*)
@Taia: Sounds fun. :)
@Star: Would be. :)
But I have to give a presentation on Tuesday, and I'll have no free time this weekend. And this is me trying to decide what topic I'll be presenting. So I'm basically screwed. :P
[hugs Taia]
Oh, I've just remembered. I need to email you about a thing.
Brb possibly
@Taia: :( :(
(*whines* jack is saying things
These things are innuendos
He's trying to make me react)
@Chloe: :P
(Hehe, if eating a hot meal remember to blow it first, blowing it will always make it a lot easier to swallow XD
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That was the last one )
(@Chloe that was quite a good one..)
@Chloe: XD
(He's trying to make me laugh *bites pillow*)
(Sue sylvester is a klaine fan O.o)
OK, Fabi. (?) ^^
@Star: On the other hand, I already messed up (my parts of) one presentation this week, and I recovered from that in <5 minutes, so definitely improved on the whole 'shaking for six hours after giving a presentation to three people' from last year.
Which can only be a good sign. O_O
So maybe throwing myself into a mess like that and surviving will be good for realising that giving a well prepared presentation is really very unthreatening. :)
Plus I could maybe ask to postpone it until next Friday. But next lesson with this teacher is Monday, so... a bit late. :P
@Chloe: :P
(Jack now says 'good job it wasn't raining today, don't want you getting wet'
*hides behind a pillow*)
Liliana: Hickory, dickory, dock. The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, the mouse ran down. Hickory dickory dock?
Parasite: Why did you behead your brother?
Bethany: No, Silente... Please stay.
Ember: *she shrugs* I saw you bleeding. I wanted to make sure you are alright. I would not just leave you.
Onwa: *nods, smiling, clapping*
Yey!
James: For beating me as a boy.
*squeezes her shoulder gently*
Dont worry, I'll stay safe.
*kisses her gently*
Love you.
(@Chloe: How profound :P)
(... by the way, has Kas been around at all, recently?)
(I was talking to him earlier
He was saying how he is lonely and how no one will miss him cause noones messaged him)
He commented on the old page right after Derek posted this saying he was tired but deleted It after.
Not here
Liliana: I am not a good singer, Onwa.
Parasite: *she nods* That makes sense. Will we be eating the head?
Bethany: *she kisses Silente back* I love you too, but I'm not letting you go alone.
Onwa: I think you are.
James: We could, if you want to.
Beth, please? I just want some alone time, plus someone needs to look after Claire.
(@Taia: :) That's a very good way to look at things.
@Chloe: He does know that people have noted his absense, right?)
Morgan: *nods* Thank you.
Sorry.
*to doctors* When can I leave?
Omg.
Dean and Dan.
XD
Omg.
They're like
so similar
XD
like
instant bromance.
There, Taia, I emailed you the thing
@what Kas said to Inky.
I'm so bad at messaging people though. The thing I just sent to Taia I'd been meaning to send for at least a month. So if any of you don't hear from me, that doesn't mean I don't care about your existence. I just have really crappy communication skills.
(He doesn't know that
Because people haven't been messaging him
I told him to make the first move
But he thinks he'll come across as needy)
OK. Thanks, Dugglyn. *hugs*
@Chloe: ... Oh :(
Thank you ^^
@Star: I hope so xD
(Tis okay)
(There is a genuine movie called "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". I wonder why on Earth anyone would actually consider making a film about a President of the United States killing vampires. And, as expected, the film seems to be full of American patriotism.)
Liliana: I have absolutely no idea why you would think that.
Parasite: It is only a dream, so we may. I wish to have the tongue.
Bethany: No... Not after the crash... I'm sorry, no... I can't... I won't... You're not going anywhere alone.
Doctor: We will want to keep you in for observation. It will be several days.
Ember: Could you give us a moment?
(I've heard of that movie)
Seeing as how Lizzie killed off Sam this morning (again) -
[6/25/2015, 22:27] Lizzie: Cas:*to Meg* you do not understand the Winchesters
[6/25/2015, 22:27] Lizzie: Meg: oh what and you do
[6/25/2015, 22:27] Star Inkbright: *Winchester
Omg. XD I'm so mean today.
Me right after we found out Sam was actually dead this morning -
[6/25/2015, 15:07] Star Inkrbight: ((Hey, at least you don't have to write with so many characters now.))
:P
Idk. I think I was supposed to be crying or something.
(Chloe - I can guarantee I have it worse. I am watching said movie.)
(Good luck!)
Onwa: Because it's true.
James: Of course.
*fetches the head from the basket*
Do you have a knife?
Beth, I'll be in my vault. Only I can get in without having to unlock everything and the door is coded to me only.
Morgan: *well, that's not happening*
The doctor I have control of: Sure.
*stands to leave the room*
((I think I'm getting increasingly hyper and talkative . . . should probably sleep soon.))
@Fabi: I got 'em. :) ^^
And- is it trivial to say, me too?
I'm really terrible at communicating and doing things regardless of how much I care
I'll email back like a month later, and my history of actually initiating messaging-things is practically non-existent: and I don't know if it looks like I don't care, but that's not ever what it means :/
@Chloe: :S
@Sophia: Whoops. :P
I've heard of it, too. ^^
(I'm watching glee
Sue wants kurt and Blaine to get back together
She keeps them in a fake elevator
She comes in as a small model like the guy from saw and says that they must make out otherwise they'd be stuck in there for ever)
(Probably going to sleep now. Enjoy the film Soph.)
(Nos da Jai)
Mmh. I suppose I'm okay at communicating. However, I don't like communicating with people in a "you don't care you never communciate me" "omg now I need to communicate with you to show I care" context. Like - it makes you seem like you're only communicatiing to try and look like you care, and furthermore, if you don't communicate under your own volition, then it can end up feeling rather unnatural and forced . . . and like. I only like to communicate with people if I would do it anyway, without the enviroment pressuring me into it, otehrwise it doesn't feel genuine. And if I would genuinely communicate anyway but it still seeems like I'm doing it due to being pressured, it feels feels a bit eh.
Idk. I probably need to actually think this out. Normally these decisions happen in my head, and so, as will be expected for those who know how badly I think in my head, they don't seem nealry as great on paper. Or, y'know, on screen. Whatever.
(Watching a fifty year old Abraham Lincoln using an axe to slay vampires on the top of a speeding train so said train can deliver silver can help him win the battle of Gettysburg against a vampire army is... implausible at best.)
Liliana: *she shakes her head* It is not.
Parasite: *a knife forms in her hand* Now I do.
Bethany: I don't care. I'm coming with you.
Doctor: *she nods, following the other Doctor*
Ember: Given what I understand of you so far, I know that staying here is an impossibility. Since I have an ability to create trouble anyway, I have decided to break you out. I will teleport both you and your bed back to where we first met.
(I'm off to bed now
Nos da)
(@Sophia: That sounds similar to something that happened in The Alloy of Law.
Except it was a forty-two-year-old man and it wasn't Abraham Lincoln and it was an immortal criminal as opposed to vampires and it was guns and fistfighting instead of an axe and there wasn't anythign to do with silver, although silver had been robbed earlier in the book along with jewellery, but alumunium was more the thing and at the time Miles just wanted to kill Wax and the scene did prelude a battle but it wasn't battle with a fancy name and there were a group of criminals with aluminium guns as opposed to a vampire army (but considering Wax and Wayne and Marasi are only two and a half people (well, if you count Wax and Wayne as two people. Really Wayne is probably worth seven and Wax is worth about sixteen), the criminals were pretty much an army, especially since ), but there was a speeding train . . .
. . .
Alright that link may have been tenuous, but as a staunch Brandon Sanderson obsessor, I shall prevail. *nods*)
Morgan: *gratefully* Thank you.
But give me a moment first.
*carefully pulls various tubes out of himself, then rolls off the bed, wincing*
(Seriously though you can't mention fighting on trains around me now.
Especially not cliche Wild West fighting-on-train scenes.
omg though.
I mean, I'm not normally one for action scenes, but those action scenes in The Alloy of Law were beautiful.
. . .
ahem.)
@Star: *laughs* :P
And- Yeah. THat makes sense.
BUt, then... What if you don't do it of your own volition and then you just... don't do it?
And then you don't get to say that you do care? I don't know.
It's like...
You know when people do something, and people are like, 'oh, they're just after attention'
And it's like, OK, but.. they wouldn't be looking for attention if they didn't need it. Why not give it to them?
And just because you didn't do it without a direct stimulus, and even if it feels less natural/more forced... Does that mean you still shouldn't?
I don't know. I think about this a lot and I never know the answer.
@Sophia: XD
Alternative universes, though. :P ^^
G'night, Jai, Chloe!
@Star: XD
msd
Sup nerds?
Busy not being cool like me, the coolest most popular kid in school?
Oh god.
I'm so alone.
So alone.
T_T
hey everyone
*hugs Trip & FEra*
*maybe falls asleep*
HEY TRIP
msd, sorry
but hi
*dully hugs taia and the other person who i can't read the name of*
What's up, Fera? You OK?
(That has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. It teaches us that: 1. It is entirely possible to jump from horse to horse during a horse stampede whilst fighting a vampire simultaneously and not fall off, get trampled, get eaten alive or otherwise injured. 2. That racism is bad, but being racist to vampires is acceptable. You could argue that "the vampires are bad", but one of the main characters disproves that. 3. A fifty year old man can pick up a firearm/axe hybrid after not touching it for twenty five years and still use it to kill vampires like he was a twenty year old again. 3. Vampires who seem to be able not to harm or kill each other are able to do so when the plot deems it necessary. 4. Abraham Lincoln would put his life at risk defending a decoy train from vampires when it is actually just full of rocks rather than silver. 5. Getting drunk means you are either going to kiss or kill someone. 6. You can watch someone throw a vampire upwards into the air with such force that they were able to break a wall of a wooden building and then be surprised when they turn out to be a vampire. 7. Vampire bites kill some and turn others, seemingly depending on how good the soul is. 8. Everyone who fought for the South were vampires. 9. Lincoln's mother and son were both killed by vampires.)
Ember: Just tell me when you are ready - Hell, I have eternity.
yeah everything is ok.
Hey Fabs, how are the stuffs?
Hiya Taia, Fera, doing well?
hi trip
(Hello, Trip.)
@Sophia: *nods*
@Taia: Eh. Like I said. I'll have to think on it.
But like -
I don't want people to think I'm messaging them not because I care, but because I want to look like I care.
And the easiest way to make them not think that is to just NOT DO IT.
Y'know. Honesty.
Stur, Soph.
hi star
(I actually understand Star's point rather than the argument to counter it. Arguably, an insincere friend is worse than no friends at all, and that is mainly the point about what it would seem like. If someone wanted attention simply because they were attention seekers, I would not give them my attention. I would see no reason why I should have to give them my attention, when a clearly better option would be to attempt to target their need for attention rather than feeding it.)
(Hallo. :P)
hi keiron
(Hey dude :P *hugs* wasssap? )
nothing much. *hugS* wbu.
( I was reading ... not much else then my eyes started hurting. I hadn't blinked in 3 hours... I need to pay attention.)
i see.
(wbu?)
i am fine. had work today. really tired. haven't slept a lot in a while.
Yes we so are practicing today in the fucking rain and cold at the outdoor pool
I swear my mother is an idiot
Oh we didnt get an email saying no practice
Well I dont want to drive up a mountain for fun because she thinks no email means to go
Its cold! And raining! Is she stupid but nooo we'll waste time to go drive up to turn around
-Zaf
i'ts not nice to call your mom an idiot. stop being horrible.
And my stomach hurts
But oh its okay for me to go when I want to puke because I'm a liar...
Stupid fucking IDIOT
Im not getting in a pool on top of a mountain when its raining to get sick
Not happening.
-Zaf
Whatever. I'll say what I want, I don't really give two craps anymore.
Just don't contradict what I say, it isn't effecting your life.
-Zaf
(gotobed early then :P
Zaf I got caught in the rain all day too :/ )
That's a shitty attitude which will lead to becoming a shitty person. Everything that is in my universe has to do something with me. all of us in fact. btw, if u have that attitude i could also say i'll say what i want and don't give 2 craps. how bout that?
Yeah its not cool its actually cold and rainy but I'm supposedly going swimmkng in it
Yeah. Okay. Common sense goes a long way.
-Zaf
Whatever I know I'm a shitry person sp what do I care? I barely come on because I'm reminded daily of how unwanted I am.
Not many would care if I died or lived....
Yeah shocking isnt it? Ha. Whatever.
-Zaf
Morgan: *nods, and rolls (rolling seems easier than walking right now) over the the nearest electric socket, pulling his jacket with him*
*slips a knife out of his jacket, and grips it by the blade, pausing to mentally prepare - as best he can, anyway*
*sticks the other end of the blade into the electric socket*
*gasps as the volts course through him, the world seeming to light up and make sense in a way it didn't before, whilst at the same time becoming even more disorientating*
*stands up, pulling jacket on and slipping knife back in its place*
*speaks carefully, to ensure his words actually work* Okay. I'm good to go, now.
*taps the fingers of one hand on the fingers of another hand in a quick, precise pattern*
and here we go with all the trying to turn it around so that you look like the victim. you know, that just shows you still care. So stop acting like a brat and wake up to your senses.
because i know you are a good person inside. you just have to realize.
Sorry. Had to go resolve some existential crises.
@Star: *nods* Maybe.
But
If you do want to say 'I care', then couldn't one argue that, the honest thing is to say it, regardless of what triggered you to do it?
I get that, it might look like you want to LOOK like you care but...
Unless you really did care, why would you want it to seem that way?
Because just like there could be two reasons for saying it (I care; I want to look like I care), there could be two reasons for not saying it (I care; I don't).
And I think that's kind of where I get stuck. Because ideally, I want the common ground of 'I care': but you can't half-send an email. It seems to be quantised, and the quantum's either too much or too little.
I don't know, that's just the step I can't get around, personally. ^^
@Sophia: *nods*
BUt what if you're not insincere.
I don't...
You wouldn't want somebody to think you cared about them, unless you actually cared about them.
And so you wouldn't want to look, to them, like you cared, unless you did care.
(Unless you had some ulterior motives, but I'm going to sidestep that conspiracy because that's not what I'm talking about here.)
My view on attention-seeking is kind of similar in that respect.
If somebody is looking for attention - it's probably because they don't have any.
If you didn't feel lonely or ignored or unwanted - if you didn't need moral/emotional support, then you wouldn't seek it.
If you didn't need a hug, you wouldn't ask for one.
If you feel like nobody is there for you and at that point in time you need to know that they are
So you ask and you get 'they're just attention-seeking'
That's hardly going to help your situation? :S
I find it difficult to look at another's emotional requirement as unnecessary or too much, just because it doesn't comply with my own personal requirements.
If somebody was low in self-esteem and constantly needed reminding that people did like them: how else would you tackle that problem, without telling them that you do?
If somebody wants attention because they want to be noticed, because they feel unnoticed
Whose place is it to tell them that feeling is unwarranted?
Why is attention not a valid requirement?
Sorry this is so long and repeating-myself, but, I dunno, I feel differently. ^^
(I care if you live or die Zaf. I care if everyone on here lives or dies as you affect my life at least a little. )
there's nothing wrong with wanting attention, but instead of making yourself look like the victim, you can try to be nice ^_^ there are people out there who would give zaf attention. But by making herself a bad individual nobody will even want to talk to her. see where i am coming from? ^_^
and yeha i do care whether she lives or dies as well :)
(maybe because they have been treated like that in life and they feel like it's one way to get noticed? I don't judge people by that because I know what it's like to have noone so you try everything.)
sure, i've been there as well. but i never tried being horrible just to get attention. that's just a line that shouldn't really be crossed. even if it's for attention.
... Please don't insult each other.
Zaf, I care.
And depending on who you ask, maybe it's better not to say it. I don't know.
But I do I care.
I know that much.
@Fera: If it's what you were talking about - the attention-seeking thing was part of earlier discussion and was in no way a response to anything you/Zaf said. If it wasn't what you were talking about, uh, never mind. :P
ah ok :D
(I was implying to the situation and saying even if that is what was happening it doesn't matter to me because like you said if someone is looking for it then why not give it? they probably need if they have got to a point in life that they ask.)
well, i did monologue a lot about her and the situation and honestly trying to help, so she did get the attention from me... ^_^
@Taia: I agree with you on attention-seeking. *shrugs*
In principle, at least. In practise, it can be damned hard for me to conjure up sympathy for people, particularly when they're just being irritating, y'know? I mean, when I pay attention to what I'm doing, I try, but like . . . I don't put enough effort into helping people, either way.
But like . . . if you want to email someone but the only reason you're doing it is because someone reminded you "if you cared, you would email," and then you're emailing to show you care, whether that's because you actually care or because you just want to look like you care -
it can feel really false to pretend you're emailing of your own accord instead of being prompted, and I tend to wish to avoid feeling false when communicating with people, ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY if I'm trying to prove to them that I care.
(bad attention though. attention usually applying they want help not hindrance...)
Hmm. I should probably go to sleep soon . . . I don't want a repeat of last night. XD
(I wanted to ... i don't have his email. Plus I don't think he likes e so it wouldn't help any.)
((Hmm. I may have found someone else who has ripped off Metallica.
-_-
Why do people keep doing this?))
@K: *nods* See, that's what I was trying to say with all those paragraphs, back there. You said it better. :P
(Also Conductor's alive?!)
@Taia: Yes. :P
(Go to sleep starry :P hehe *offers huggles* I hate rip offs they annnoy me like atleast try to be origonal )
keiron: It's still helping. only by telling the harsh facts. when somebody is too lost to listen to nice words, the only option left is to make them realize.
@Keiron: It just upsets me when my favourite bands rip off Metallica. -_- Like Avenged Sevenfold ripped Metallica off to death. I'm naive. I like to believe in people.
(Cpm: yup ! :D I crawled out of the black hole it was just my shadow realm... it ripped Ghetremus from me and now all I have is necromancy!
thanks for thinking I said it better :P It was still very meaningful and true... *hugs ?*)
(sorry for the mistakes btw like no sleep and tired doesn't work well on keyboard. :P and yeh I know Fera it can make sense ... II just choose to try never to use that around someone who is feeling sensitive in any way... as it can cause them to reflect on their actions more.)
Guysssss you should both go to sleep. :P
@Star: ?
All artists rip off other artists.
But the artists who come up with new things are the ones who rip off a tonne of different artists at once.
And sometimes, you think you've got something of your own, but actually, you heard it somewhere else first. It might not be deliberate.
I can think of at least two songs off the top of my head that are pretty much Cat Stevens' 'Father and Son', but with different words.
Granted, I think he sued one of them, but...Idk. Personally, I like all three songs, and I think all three bring something quite different to the same outline.
Plus you can draw lyrical links between all three, which is interesting.
Not saying it's good to steal from other people but--
Successful band like Metallica? I don't think it's going to do them much harm?
Idk. I seem to be tired and a little apathetic, here. o0
She wanted to be a scientist.
Science was her favourite subject, by far.
And her best.
All A's.
She smiled to herself.
She could definitely see herself working in the science field.
Curing deseases...
Or working in forensics...
that
That would be cool.
A life of lab work and theory writing and testing....
She could do that.
She wanted to do that.
God, did she want to do that....
a girl: so why didn't she do that? :)
keiron: yeah i get it, i just decided to do this route this time...i didn't mean to be a jerk. Just trying to get her to understand ^_^
@Taia: Nah.
Avenged Sevenfold /ripped off/ Metallica.
Like /hell/ they ripped them off.
:P
Metallica - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_4OfD-wmGs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4KXMyb-aGY
That is not being cool. That is being too lazy to make your own music.
But yeah. When you copy from one person, it's cheating. When you copy from lots of people, it's research. :P
*Avenged Sevenfold -
Sorry. Forgot the label for the second YOuTube link.
@Fera: Maybe she did.
star: hopefully ^_^
@Fera: :)
(I will slepe when I am dead star ... i DOBT NEED IT NOE?:P_)
(OSRRY I THINK ITS A LONG COMMENT AGAIN)
@Star: *nods*
*kind of*
*I'm having trouble moving viewpoint and I don't know why*
But like
I didn't say to pretend you're emailing of your own accord?
I don't think that's what I meant.
What I don't understand, I think, is the significant difference between:
I care about this person => I tell them
And
This person wants to hear that somebody cares => I care about this person => I tell them
Because in either case 'I care about this person' is a fact, and in neither case is the extent of that care any greater
And It's probably the way my own social cognitions go, but for me, it's really hard to just up and say 'HEY BRO I CARE ABOUT YOU', because what if I'm just being irritating and getting in the way and causing a bother, and what if they don't even like me and I'm the last thing they want to hear, etc.
If I know somebody thinks people don't care, then it's less of a leap to state the same fact
Idk
... Is that just self-interest on my part, or? I don't know.
@Shadow: *acknowledges?*
*not sure what response goes here*
*nodding*
*general interest*
*:)*
@Star: On phone, so will have to vanish to watch/listen to videos. :P
(thT mKWS SENSs Taoa :D I kmow nonecrases though so sometimes doneone saying thay care makes me thunk they lying for goodniss)
@Keiron: XD
@Taia: Mmh, you didn't say it. I did, in an attempt to explain situations when I wouldn't email people to tell people I care about them.
No, it's not really that.
I'm not really sure how much sense my viewpoint makes, now, though, so I'm not sure in the sense of explaining it further . . .
It made sense a moment ago. -_-
Yeah . . . I'm often scared to randomly tell people things like that. :/ When compliments were more the societal norm for me, it was a lot easier, but now it's become pretty hard.
@Taia: :P Sorry.
(if som1 wants to translate that go ahead... :p if it makes sense good. I legit have to press each key individually with my index finger rn... may sleep... star you should too *huggles star taia and fera in turn*)
@Star: :/ sorry
I didn't mean to confuse your perspective.^^
@K: YEAH!! I made sense! :D
Nonecrases..? :P
@Star: no worries :p
(no one cares. sozzie :P )
@Star: *nods* I can see where you're coming from, with the songs
Although, not as similar as I expected, admittedly.
One of the comments on the A7X video says that it's supposed to be a tribute to the Metallica song.
Not sure if that's true, but.. ^^
(I prefer... avenged sevenfold... tbh more of their songs anyway... I dunno I like metallica too and can see where you are coming from but still)
:) Goodnight, Keiron.
@Taia: :P No, do. It's good for me. :)
@Taia: Mmh. The whole album was meant to be a tribute to old-school metal and done in the style of old metal bands like Metallica. But I think there's a difference between 'in the style of' and 'pratically copying and individual song.'
Metallica have quite a bit of variety, and Sad But True is pretty distinctive. -_-
@Keiron: I prefer Avenged Sevenfold too, in general, although I can like both of them, but the fact is, Metallica's song came out years (possibly decades) beforehand, so it's not like they ripped off Avenged Sevenfold. XD
goodnight star ^_^ :)

(Link looks a bit odd(mobile?), hopefully it works?)
^^ A recording of Coldplay - 'Yellow' and Pavement - 'Here' played over one another
It used to really annoy me because I'd be listening to Pavement, or it'd be in my head, or I'd be playing guitar, and all of a sudden, in my head it goes 'and it was all yellow'
Which is so frustrating and ardhhdjg
But, I don't believe that Coldplay stole it from Pavement, anyway.
*shrugs*
Obviously you don't have to listen, but, I dunno. It came to mind. :P
*huggles Keiron*
*also hugs Star*
... I managed to type 'stugs har'. Autocorrect thought I was trying to drug a hat, apparently. :P
Link appears to work. :)
@K, if still here: OH MY GOSH I just got your comment :P
Nonecrases = no one cares !
Well, hey, I care, so, if I say so, it's becAuse that's the fact. :)
@Star: Oh, fair enough. I can see your point there. :)
Um. At least they are kind of crediting Metallica for it? :P
*hugs Fera*
Oh. It's 2 AM. I have lessons this afternoon. Um.
Thanks for good conversation? :P
Night, all! :)
:) Night!
taia: *hugs back* night ^_^ :)
*so happy*
(Do you ever wakes at random times? *falls back asleep*)
Onwa: I believe it is.
James: useful. Thank you.
*takes the knife, cutting out the tongue muscle*
Here.
Beth..
(Hello.
Taia - I may just be being stubborn, but nevertheless.)
Liliana: I know they say love is blind, I suppose it has to be deaf too.
Parasite: You are welcome. *she takes the tongue, biting it* You seem oddly calm to be in a realm full of demons, and then me on top of that.
Bethany: I'm not letting you go alone. That's a promise.
Ember: *she places her hand on his shoulder, before they vanish in a flash of fire, reappearing in Austria* Please, speak. Who are you? What are your powers? Why are you here?
Onwa: Of course.
James: I see little threat.
*shrugs, cutting himself some cheek*
*sighs*
(@Soph if only you were in college today xD)
Liliana: Is deaf a type of blindness?
Parasite: Only because I have removed the threat.
Bethany: I either come with you in the vault, or sit outside it in the cold.
(Dragona no longer has college. Apologies.)
(*sighs and sits upside down on settee)
(It's fine. *cuddles*
Hey Chloe.)
Onwa: No. Deaf is unable to hear..?
James: True.
*sighs* Beth..
(hey Jai ^.^)
(morning...
@taia about me though... not about kas, or zaf or literally anyone else. :P
also *huggles* because I was asleep by that point)
(so
tired.
*collapses*
Was woken up at nine. Went out at ten. Had seven hours sleep, so not too bad, but I had four the night before so eh.)
Morgan: *sighs, trying to think past the fuzzing in his head*
I don't know how I got here. I don't remember. However, there's probably a reason, so the next thing on my list is to find our what it is.
As for powers - when I'm not malfunctioning, I can do quite a few things. Move faster, shapeshift, levitate, become available as a substitute oven. Right now, I can probably only manage the lesser things, and if I do too many of them I may be offered the bonus of a non-refundable ticket back to that hospital. Otherwise I'd give you a demonstration.
(Hello.
*she cuddles Jaimie back*)
Liliana: Ear blindness.
Parasite: *she finishes eating the last of the tongue*
Bethany: I always give in... I'm not giving in this time. I mean it... I'll wait outside if you want time alone, but I'm coming with you.
Ember: If you would like someone to accompany you, I am willing to join you. I have already pissed off my father a little and I waited for you at the hospital. I see no reason why I wouldn't see it to a conclusion.
(The only adverts that seem to be on television at the moment are various forms of insurance adverts, adverts for lawyers talking about PPI and medical negligence, and adverts about borrowing money.)
(@Sophia: Hmm.
Rather troubling.)
Morgan: *pauses, alloeing gis thoughts to be thought and then evaluated the necessaey number of times before being spoken* You can if you want, but it's entirely your choice. I'd be grateful for your help if you did.
(Why is the weather so horrible? -_-)
(Indeed, given that insurance is largely a con, PPI lawyers are definitely a con, medical negligence lawyers are cons who take advantage of the government cutting NHS funding and borrowing money can cripple your finances and give you a massive amount of debt.)
Ember: Sure, I'll tag along.
(Hello, Chloe.)
(Hey soph, star)
(How are you?)
(I feel a bit under the weather
You?)
(I am rather bored.)
(I've been watching TV all day
Mostly Jeremy Kyle
I also watched most haunted)
(I also watched Most Haunted, despite it being ridiculous. I have also watched Top Gear, because it is... bearable. I am currently watching Dinner Date, despite it being of no interest to me. Then I may watch Judge Rinder, because it is vaguely interesting. The Jeremy Kyle Show is far too loud for me. Everyone is essentially identical - well, there are two distinct groups. There are the skinny, pale drug addicts, and the overweight women who shout at each other. I cannot stand that programme. I would rather spend ten hours in Meadowhall - which would not be ideal when I do not like crowds - than watch an hour of the Jeremy Kyle Show.)
(I see
^.^ I know most haunted is a load of bollocks but I've watched it since I was little)
(If they wanted to make a believable ghost-centred programme, they should not credit the script writer. The programme is only several people walking around in the dark, making a big deal out of nothing and taking advantage of the cameras having a small field of view to fake "paranormal activity" with a medium who has been proven to be false time after time. I am aware it is for "entertainment purposes only", but they do not even have the same ability to fake events that the Ghost Adventures team has, or the ability to create terrible generated images like the Haunted Collector does. I wonder whether they are even trying sometimes.)
Onwa: Hmm.. ear blindness..in a way that works.
James: *starts eating the cheek*
Hmm.. not too bad in flavour.
Beth.. I'll be fine, honest.
Liliana: I think it works.
Parasite: The tongue was not so bad. Out of curiosity, what do you usually do in your dreams? Or do I want to know?
Bethany: I'll wait outside then.
(That's true Soph)
Onwa: As do I.
James: *chuckles*
Many things. Kill and be killed. Enjoy the company of others.
*sighs*
*murmurs* never mind.
