    There's a difference between self-imposed stereotypes and the function of human relationships. Unless you want to try online dating (which is perfectly fine but wasn't the subject we were discussing) then you have to take some risks and put yourself out into the world in order to date people. Now, some people want the idea of a relationship but don't want to put in that work because it compromises their personal preferred lifestyle; that's okay, but if that's really true then the reality of the situation is that you either have to change your notions about your own lifestyle or realize that you just don't want a relationship badly enough.

    And imagine: once that sort of person is in a relationship, then what? Will their lack of personal effort or change be what keeps them together with their significant other? I doubt it. You need to adapt to relationships; if all you want is someone who is going to be an addition or fixture in your life that you can just attach to your daily practices without losing anything, you're going to face a lot of disappointments while dating. You can call that a generalization if you like, but it won't change that fact that this is just the way dating works.

    EDIT: Paraphrasing something my girlfriend said, there's no reason why you shouldn't want to just be single. If you would rather not go out and meet people, maybe relationships aren't for you. And there's nothing wrong with that, either.

    I got in a silly argument with someone on facebook and got their account banned. This made me happy.

    It happens in seconds, but it only works on certain people. Luckily this jerk was one of them.

    Don't you just hate it when you're driving your car, and you realize you have a flat tire, only to find out you're in the middle of nowhere, it's gushing rain, and you discover you left your cellphone at home to recharge...?

    And to top it off, it's on a friggin friday night...

    I don't even know. Probably like 80-90% or so. I'm just annoyed that I took so long to do the things required. They were so simple, but it had to be perfect.

    Yeah, pretty much :p
    Pretty disorganised lecturer doesn't help. With the test taking 30 minutes to start, the auto-marker program wasn't working as intended, Using VMs to login into Linux from Windows, when there were Linux labs available, and then security passwords weren't working. *sigh*

    Just hope it doesn't happen like this next week.

    Just applied to a FedEx warehouse.

    I hope someone, anyone that I've applied to, gets in touch with me at some point. :(

    If they'll be as punctual as they are with their deliveries, you're in trouble. ::S:

    Got back from the mall, and it was awful. There are too many people who make too much noise. There's too much walking, and the food is terrible. I was hoping that the gaming store would have tabletop stuff, but I was disappointed there too. But the worst thing is all the people. I'm constantly worried that they're all judging me because that's all I do. I'm so judgmental for a brony nerd, and I don't know what's worse: the fact that I'm so judgmental or that it feels so natural and right to me. Horrid day, and now I wish I could go into suspended animation for a few months.
