((*sits in the corner* ugh
I feel sick.,. Cider on an empty stomach is a bad idea))
( I could use a cider... or 5 right about now :P *hugglez* )
((*huggles* food was supposed to arrive ages ago))
Well this is very active.
((Hello grant))
( what you having ? ... wbd still btw doing hw :P )
((Peppinos... Mum having pizza, dad having kebab, siblings having burgers
I'm having popcorn chicken))
((Food is over an hour late
I don't want to eat at all now))
Hello?
(wow this place is dead... )
Hello?
((^sings gone to rust*))
"all it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive into lunacy...that is how far away from the world i am ...ONE...BAD...DAY..."
((Hello?))
hello
((How art thou??)
i am wonderful, dear! how are you doing this afternoon?
((*mutters* easy, sarcastic
I am well))
sarcastic? i havent felt this good in my whole existence! i have finally ...started feeling complete. and good good, what makes you feel "well"?
((I am watching the polar express
I am lonely however as my one true love has gone away to work))
nice movie. i am glad, my only true love will never leave me ^_^
((Who is your only true love?))
hahahahaha. insanity of course.
(.... *sighs and ponders* hmmm ... have you ever heard of reflection ? and not the mirror kind? "you're reflecting" )
((Right...))
((I reflect on arguments I have and great comebacks I should've used))
( that's hindsight, different thing )
fear and insanity...such wonderful feelings...i cant believe i've been trying to push them away from me this whole time ^_^ yes, reflection is a good thing to do..reflecting on your current state
((Fear is not a good feeling ))
but when you accept it..you can move past..and become one with it.
((Become one with fear? No, I'm sorry
Just no -_-
I can't tell if you're being dull or trying to evoke a reaction -_-
What about those who experience true fear? Like those victims of terrorist attacks. .. Do you think the fear they experience is great?))
( like for example you can reflect by pushing your problems onto other people and showing them that you are fine, when in fact you're not, too much reflection looks like it's fake even to the unobservant.... *just going to leave that there for pondering* )
((I get that Kieron))
fear, like limits, is just an illusion. a tool for living beings to survive. but once you understand true horror..it becomes meaningless. trying to evoke a reaction? dear dear, that would only be necessary if i was trying to find myself. i already have found it. its wonderful.
(so you know what I'm talking about... and who's reflecting? A LOT...)
((Well couldn't you argue that all emotion is an illusion then? They don't exist? ))
(Forced emotion is fake. to be reminded of such forced emotion looks fake. )
i could argue that reality is just an illusion. which may very well be close to the truth.
((Wait... Hindsight and reflection are the same thing *frowns*
Hindsight - you reflect on your past actions
And reflection is thinking about what you've done before that point in time, which is in the past which is also hindsight ))
(reflection is when you are the mirror... and you show people what you want them to see...
hindsight is when you see what could have been done to change something in the past. )
((Whatever -_-
Be happy with fear or whatever
There is a reason why it's called a 'negative' emotion -_-))
((But when you reflect on say, the past day... That's the same as hindsight
They are synonyms of each other))
yes, there is a reason. and that reason is because humans often limit themselves to a certain level of intelligence.
(different kind of reflecting... I mean the kind I said... the psychology term )
((I have not heard that term in psychology
So you're saying most humans, who experience horrible fear or those who fear experiencing fear are less intelligent than someone like you? Who see it as an illusion?))
(I kind of agree actually ... "the only thing to fear is fear itself." if you are not scared of fear then you are not scared at all ... :P
also yeh it's kind of common ... e.g " Chloe I am sooo fucking amazing right now" it is forcing you to see what I want you to see... )
((But it seems to me that Fera is suggesting that fear is this wonderful feeling that people should embrace
I see))
I know I have at least one page to dedicate to.
I dedicate to being free to be yourself. To not having to.. to deal with shit solely for being yourself. I hope none of you ever have to live with people who don't respect you for who you are. And if you do then I hope you can get out of there soon. Every single one of you deserves to be happy with who you are, and to not have to deal with problems that form just because of who you are.
rather, they're stuck in a bubble that can only be popped from the inside. sure, there are neurological processes that aid in creating fear, but again limits are only set by your conscious part. just like we wont progress any further in physics, if we keep thinking of concepts such as infinity and other dimension as "weird" or "inconceivable"
i like to play with my words, but when i am trying to suggest something, i'll be sure to make clear what i am trying to suggest.
( hmm Hear hear jai... are you saying what I think you're saying? )
hello jai.
hear hear
(@K considering I don't know what you're saying then I couldn't say yes or no. I'm just saying what should be said.)
((Here here jai!))
(( yeah... But feelings are important
It's a part of what make us human
Take away emotions then what are we?
Your doom psychology... You should know how important feelings are when it comes to behaviour))
( nm ... lol I got it ... :D :P I might be distant )
*you do
i know. being stuck at human level is also what keeps us down. and what keeps our vile behaviour going. not willing to change for the better is part of human nature. "see i am not a monster...i am just ahead of the curve"
((Hmmm so let me see.... Emotions make us human which is bad, very bad it appears
So maybe we should get rid of emotions like happiness, wonderment, love?
You're a scientist- you must realise that these feelings cannot be helped
They are result of neurotransmitters and other factors
So, we must be doomed a a species...
And I don't mean to be rude here, but you are no different than the rest of our species- you experience all these emotions... You have the same chemical imbalances
As much as you want to differ from the rest of us, this species is where you belong))
(Chloe.. can we RP..?)
((Sure we can ^,%))
Tresha: *has her jumper sleeves pushed up in her human form, kitty her sat nearby, watching*
*she's trying to build something that resembles a house and has just finished the foundations*
Alice: how can I help?
again, you're setting yourself and me limits. if you were a scientists, you would realise that science is but merely an observation. nothing is a fact, and nothing will ever be, unless we're talking about historical events, that have already happened, but then again, if there are an infinite set of time lines, they don't matter either. i mean, observing objects in different frequencies on the light spectrum gives different results. changing speeds alter our perception of space and time. by accepting my flaws , and that everything is just a matter of perspective, i have become my own individual. and that is where i differ.
Tresha: Sit and relax. Your ankle still hasn't recovered.
*slowly starts laying bricks, one by one gradually, making sure to layer them properly, leaving gaps for doors and some widows, the back which faces the woods being almost entirely gaps for the windows*
i do not wish to discuss any further, as i have made my points clear. from now on it would be like 2 walls talking to each other.
((we are all our own individuals
I am just saying that you cannot just stop feeling emotion cause its caused my neurotransmitters that cause emotion such as serotonin that cannot be controlled by 'breaking out of the box'
we are all subject to our emotions))
ALice: but I want to help
*sighs* *shakes head*
Tresha: You are helping.
*the cat pads over to Alice, staring up at her*
This is taking too long.. warn me if anyone is coming, okay? I'm gonna go furry.
((hmmm... have you heard of cortisol?))
Alice: okay, Tresh
Tresha: Good girl Ally.
*the cat runs over to Tresha and its blue stripes glow bright blue, the energy seeping into Tresha*
*she grows slightly and then fur begins to coat her body as the cat fades from vision*
Alice: *smiles* pwetty!
Tresha: *laughs, smiling at her own large fluffy tail*
*goes back to building faster*
Alice: *has a parrot resting on her shoulder*
Tresha: How's Polly anyway?
*exists, maybe*
Sorry. Very busy. If I don't respond I've disappeared.
hi star.
Alice:; whines* her name isn't polly!
((hey star!))
:) *waves to everyone*
Tresha: *laughs*
Sorry sorry!
how're you?
Alice: serin is good
*the parrot squawks happily*
@Fera: Me? Fine. Slightly stressed because I just remembered I have to make a birthday card before Tuesday, and my birthday cards tend to take at least ten hours. :/
You?
Tresha: Good. And how are you? Other than your ankle?
*appears*
So somebody read the killing joke, best story ever
And everyone is human, you follow basic instincts of survival, one of which is living in a group
*vanishes*
Aalice: I am good *smiles*
*shakes head at jack*
oh star, that's going to be tiring. umm, i am wondeful ^_^
Tresha: Wonderful.
*is working quickly now and getting quite far with the building*
@Fera: *nods*
(jack! im sorry for the late reply!))
Alice: shall I transform? then I can carry things...
how're you with dragona?
@Fera: Erm.
Fine.
Tresha: Rest! No moving. Be a good Alce.
ok. i have changed a lot lately
Alice: *pouts* I am a good alice... I just wan t to help
((how so?))
my aspect and goals in life. talking about bigger goals.
Tresha: Don't worry about it.
(I.. I'm gonna go because I'm getting angry again.)
((*huggle jai* okay))
bigger goals?))
getting angry? i hope it's nothing to do with me.
yes. i always view things in the bigger pitcure first and figure out the smaller details later
((right))
*looks at blogland* lot of people ghosting. heh.
Mmh. Busy.
((I am writing))
oh well well.
((oh well well?))
yes. i like that word.
((right))
Right, I've registered to vote. :)
vote?
((Eddie murphy is hilarious XD))
@Fera: Yep. You know, in elections.
(Okay. Back..)
*hugs Jai*
(*hugs star back*)
ahh ok, star. wb jai. eddie murphy is a good actor imo.
You okay?
((*glomps jai~ *))
(*is glomped*
*cuddles Chloe*
I'm betterish now. That is to say I'm ignoring the problem.)
@Jai: :/
((awwwkay *cuddles* but you need to face some things))
(Later. I'll face it later..)
((okay))
This card is gonna be really fun actually. :)
It's observational drawing but it doesn't have to be /perfect/.
Usually when I draw things like this it has to be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and it really stresses me out that I can't draw like a photograph can take pictures.
But this doesn't have to be like a photograph, so yeah, should be interesting. :)
I was actually gonna improv this but I got scared. :P I can't improv.
Things that annoy me when drawing -
- I can't be the equivilent of a camera
- I'm not ambidextrous
It's so damn ANNOYING only having one dominant hand! Symmetry is so hard to achieve because my hand is at different angels for each side. :(
... Drawing with symmetry wouldn't be the equivalent of a camera, though, because the world isn't symmetrical. People aren't symmetrical and doors aren't symmetrical and molecules aren't symmetrical and roads aren't symmetrical and stories aren't symmetrical. Heck, outside of maths, who needs symmetry?
((not been ghosting for long, I swear. trying to write my personal statement and suffering @_@))
@Taia: Oh, right, different types of drawing. :) Drawing like a camera is good for observational drawing. I need symmetry for word art and such. :)
And my artwork is pretty mathematical. :P Well . . . I think so.
Ooooohh ookay :)
*likes Star's word art! :)*
*also likes maths, so, hey, sounds good :P*
hey taia
my bday will be soon. Everybody on here is invited. Anyone actually interested?
((Probs can't make it
What date?))
november 10th. I'd pay for everything. maybe even the trip partially.
((Sorry but I wouldn't be allowed to travel on the train))
ok. that's fine.
((What can I say? I am a drip))
what do you mean?
well, if it's a bad things, you're not.
(She means she's boring, which she is not.)
Pfft, Chloe? Boring?? Na mate!!
*hugs Chloe*
Soy Fera, but I'm across a country and an ocean :/
-and I have school.
it's ok duggy :P
umm, nahh you're not boring chloe.
(*hugs duggy*
drip means clumsy and lacks coomon sense)
You have more common sense than me
Ah, well Idk if your clumsy or not but that's not really something you can control anyways, but you definitely have common sense!
*waves*
I will be here in 15 minutes so if you want to talk about anything, let me know, guys! :)
((awww jack sweetie...
thanks guys ^.^
*waves to kas*))
Tis ok Chloe
Hi kas
Hi Dug
bye
((don't leave...))
((tis quiet))
((Mm-hmm.))
((starry eyes! how ar thou?))
Whoopsies, that took too long!
Hi.
((kassy O!))
Hey, Chloe! How are you?
((im good ^.^ you?))
@Chloe: :) Fine, thanks.
You?
((I am good
but I am knackered
so im off to bed now
nos da!))
:) Nos da, Chloe.
*hugs Star and Chloe*
*is also off to sleep*
Good night!
*might have hit too hard this time* *might have internal bleeding*
(Oh my god!
I just had a moment when I came up with an analogy to show my point in the fear debate from earlier
My point summe up: you may want to be set apart from normal people who hate fear but you will always be human
Analogy: a pig may decide it wants to fly with the birds- and be different from the other pigs
It builds wings and flies
But one fact still remains - it is still a pig
Discussion closed
*poofs cause sleep*))
:) *supports Chloe's point here*
*doesn't support her theory*
I dedicate to hate and sorrow.
*oh and fear
(Her analogy is technically right.
You are a human. Nothing more nothing less.)
not in the mood jai.
@Fera: So we should lie because you're not in the mood for reality?
No, what you call "reality" is what you perceive. i am not arguing further about that. Just leave me alone. Like everyone else has. That's all i want. To rot in the corner.
(I believe you're reacting to your emotions here Fera, something you implied you were above doing.)
@Fera: True.
But if I never acted on that basis that reality was real, I would literally just sit and rot in a corner. I choose to believe that reality exists, because if I'm alive (or think I am) I may as well live. And along with choosing to believe that reality exists, I choose to believe that gravity exists and that humans cannot change species or permanently shut off their emotions.
(In case you're wondering, or just to add an interesting aside, I don't choose to believe that God exists - simply because my brain just isn't wired for that kind of belief. However, I understand that accepting that God exists isn't much different to accepting that reality exists.)
You can perceive that you can shut off your emotions and/or change species. However, my perception of reality informs me that that isn't very healthy for you. Partially because very few otehr people are going to accept your perception of reality and are not going to just leave you to rot in a corner when you tell them about it.
@Jai: True. :)
something i implied i was trying to get rid of jai.
But i am not anymore. Some emotions people would consider "negative" have been keeping me going for a while.
@Fera: Mm-hmm.
