Per suggestion, (thanks Nightwing!) this is a general discussion thread! Have at it, let the talking commence!

I have a puppy. His name is Samwise.
...what? It's the first thing I could think of.

Funny you should bring up pets. I had to give my cat a flea bath earlier.
Not so fun.

... Aren't you allergic to cats? Why are you the one giving the cat a bath?
|

Post by ZeroVX on Aug 30, 2013 1:26:17 GMT -5
Because he's still my cat and I should help him.
The allergy isn't that serious, anyway. I was more concerned with him scratching himself to the point that clumps of fur were coming off.

Yikes... yeah, that's all around not a good sign. Good it's not a serious allergy, and hope it solved the issue at least mostly. Careful around the house though, sometimes displaced ones decide to feast on people. I've had a couple experiences with that.

General discussion? Ok then. What prompted the change in avatar there Amelius? I recall you saying something about having had issues with the previous one, but did you decide to scrap it out of frustration or did you desire a change?

@waker: laziness, and indeed frustration as the imageshack account I had decided to just up and delete a bunch of stuff I had on it. Just one day, images don't work for a bunch of pictures! Rar! I'd have to re-upload the .gif I had before, which is in a subfolder of a subfolder in my external HD, and this one just happened to be sitting around in and not busted so i used it. (plus I liked how Yiska looks in it, hehe)

*sighs* and just like that everyone is gone. I hope it wasn't me who killed the conversation! :C

Nothing like that, I don't think, I think people just aren't sure what to say to start things off. At least, I know that's how it is for me. People're still logging on, they're just not posting anything 'cause they're not sure what to post. My take, at any rate.

Heh heh... well I hope that's the case at least! I just have a long record of coming into threads and then being the last post so I start to worry! 0_0

I'm still here, just a bit slower in my old age than I was last time I was here =P. Had a rough week.

It's a lot of ups and downs for me right now. Kinda have to just push through it. The Lady got a job offer, at least, so we're a tiny fraction closer to being able to be together again.

Post by Amelius on Sept 10, 2013 15:10:19 GMT -5
Ah gosh, sorry to hear about that! (I'm a bit remorseful for whining about the posts now!) I hope the job offer turns out and you get some better luck this week! And don't let the stress get to your health! I personally have been in a near-constant state of anxiety, and I hope you're not letting things get to you like that too...

Oh, don't feel bad! I'm trying to make an effort to be more involved here so I don't feel as lonely, after all. It's just that the past three years or so haven't really been kind to my emotional well-being. I'm dealing. Some weeks better than others. But the universe still manages to keep kicking my arse.

EMotional roller coasters are not fun @_@ Best of luck getting through things, truly, and I hope that more good than bad is on the horizons for you. I've definitely got some experience with poor emotional health.... Glad you're hanging in there, and never be afraid to reach out if you need it. I'm quite sure you've got all the support you could ever want if you need or ask for it. Almost forgot, I second the well wishes for the job offer! I definitely have experience in the long distance relationship department.... You'll get there. Just have to keep in touch as best you can and never give up on it. Probably nothing you don't already know.... but I'm good at/bad about stating the obvious, depending on your point of view.
Try to relax as much as ya can, Amelius. Stress gets us all sometimes, and while I don't personally, (often), I know a lot of people who struggle with anxiety. Don't be afraid to take some time to yourself to just do whatever relaxes you. Everyone needs that sometimes.
I apologize if my career goal post college as a therapist becomes too apparent? ^^; I have a compulsive need to attempt to comfort people who are struggling. <.<; *cough* Sorry if I say anything awkward or ill-informed. Or anything else that results negatively. ... I'm just gonna end this before I ramble too much more covering all of my baseline apologizing.

You're not doin' anything wrong. Wonder if Waker noticed you replied... Of course I did. I notice everything. I however haven't really had all that much to comment about. I mean, I could ask random questions and all, but I can't think of anything relevant. All I know is that I'm just sitting around waiting for everything to die. By which I mean, I'm eagerly awaiting Autumn so it will cool down.

Makes sense. I hate the heat as well. I just wondered since you never replied when she answered you directly.

Haha I don't mind, I'm really bad at replying to things myself, mostly because I procrastinate... but the reason I procrastinate is because it takes me an hour sometimes to write a short thing because i overthink it! So then I'm like "Well, I need at least 2 hours to reply and my comic is late so I better comic first then reply" and then baboom! It's two weeks later and I feel like sludge for puttin' it off!

Post by NightWing on Sept 11, 2013 14:35:33 GMT -5
.... Yup, I've done that too. A lot. Obviously I don't have a comic to work on or anything, but you know. Same basic concept.

Seriously debating trying NaNoWriMo this year. I will fail, of course. But considering all the same.

What is NaNoWriMo? I am certain I've not heard of that before.

National Novel Writing Month. It's November. The typical goal is 50k words which... no. I'm not capable of. But still... tempting.

Post by NightWing on Oct 17, 2013 20:39:28 GMT -5
I doubt you're incapable, but it would certainly be an undertaking. Difficult to get that many relevant words.... but then, I also don't write. I can't.

This thread seems to have died. Holy hells am I annoyed with the current weather where I live. A crap load of snow came down in a relatively short space of time and the forecast for the next few days calls for rain. Such a delightful combination.

oh gosh I'm with you there Waker! (Literally because I'm in Ohio too haha) I'd rather have rain than snow though, some warmer weather is welcome because the blower died in the car so whenever we have to go out in snow my toes nearly freeze off from the lack of car heaters!
