Post something that made you UNHAPPY today.

Post Reply New Topic

still behind on assignments. i dont know how to answer my question. im supposed to make a choice between whether or not industialisation or colonialism resulted in more world wide inequality but i think they are tied together. how can i speak of one and not the other?

I found about 30 pounds missing from my purse. It was either stolen or most likely, fell out.

Hives, hives and more hives!

if you found the money that was missing, then that should make you happy.

i do not therefore understand how you eventually found the money.

anyway,


the thing that made me unhappy today was the fact that the local charcoal chicken shop for a third time (on separate evenings) told me they had no chickens left.
i was dumbfounded. i had decided to get a wing (forequarter) of roast chicken and some chips for a simple dinner (as i also previously decided, and failed to accomplish on 2 prior occasions due to the fact that they had no chicken left).

when it became apparent that my intentions were (for a third time) going to be thwarted, i braced myself so that my discontent about the matter would not spill out and create an altercation.

i then left the shop and hastily considered alternative dinner plans (from the resource of their menu), and i felt like almost seizing up, but i decided that i would be able to tolerate the substitution of a "steak sandwich" (with egg and cheese and extra onions and barbecue sauce) for the chicken.

i went back into the shop and i ordered a steak sandwich, and then she had the gall to inform me that they do not cook steak sandwiches, and i was left speechless.

i then left again and went home and my whole nights activities were thrown into turmoil as a result.

Why do you still haunt me in my dreams?

Beehives?

Small indications of a skin disorder that my dad has that got bad for him when he was about my age. And also that while vitamin D3 is helping keep it at bay I am near to a toxic dose of it already.

I have to make up a test, get a project that's due tomorrow done, and I have a migraine.

Sorry if this comes out a bit jumbled up, but today, at the banquet, a friend pointed out that it can be extremely hard to keep a conversation going with me at times. (That wasn't what made me upset though.) So I tried to bring up topics that she would like to talk about and she noticed me thinking really hard and said, "Do you really have to think about what to say in a conversation? It doesn't come naturally?"

Anyway, in the end, I spent most of the banquet preoccupying myself with my thoughts, reverie, and a medal I had received while everyone was conversing with one another. My friend seemed to like talking to the girl next to her rather than talking to me. I'm not sure whether she was just not interested in what I had to say or didn't quite hear me, but when I was talking to her (my friend), she just suddenly turned her attention to the other girl.

Is it really that hard to keep a conversation going with me?

Maybe this is just my view but isn't she the one having trouble keeping a conversation up then :o? I mean you do your best to think about things while she just wanders off to someone else, i think that's not very social of her :x Besides not everyone has to be good at talking right? I have a friend who hates akward silences so she talks all the time, and i just listen to her, to me it seems like my friend is the socially akward one because she can't deal with silence, that's just me though, but maybe you could ask your friend? To clear things up instead of worrying a lot about it. Sorry if i'm not much help ><

Don't be so insecure about your advice!

Ah, no. i think I'm the socially awkward one. She says it's hard to keep a conversation going with me because I'm usually going on about my special interests while she likes to talk about more "normal" stuff. She also says it's because I have a larger vocabulary and use several formal phrases and that she doesn't understand them. And the fact that I can be slow on sarcasm and tend to take things she says literally and laugh at it even though it wasn't meant to be funny.

It happens to me with other people too. I don't think that many people can be that socially awkward and still be able to talk to other people just fine. It's probably just me...

Well what helped me a lot was social training :o Before that i wasn't very social, so i couldn't make much conversation either, anyway its been several years since then and now i'm quite good at picking people who i can ramble to about my special interests, and i found out that a lot of people i know have special interests, and they don't even have a form of ASD :o Not to sound old but when i was 15 i was quite anti social generally, and rude, but atleast you're not being rude from what i can tell, but what exactly are normal things that she likes to talk about?

By the way what i'm trying to say is that you're doing pretty good by even noticing things like that, so uhm just give it time :o? Its all about falling and standing up, atleast that was the process for me and it still is now xD And maybe you can find some kind of social training course if you really feel that you're the one being socially akward :o Oke i'm done rambling, time to vacuum my room!

Normal things... There's is an exact set of things of things she likes to talk about. It's just that more "normal" people are just more pleasant to talk to for her. She likes talking about clothes... gossip a little... I tried talking about clothes, and I didn't have enough information to make a real conversation. I also tried gossiping once when going out for dinner with her and another friend, but they didn't seem to be interested and gossiped about something else.

I'm clueless. The only form of socializing I'm good at is at joking around. When joking around, you aren't expected to be normal.

That one friend doesn't like to joke around though... or at least joke around the way I do.

So she only likes talking about clothes and to gossip :o? And what do you like to talk about then if i may ask? I'm not good at making jokes but i do make people laugh because they say i have 'dry' humor, a lot of people have tried to explain that to me but i still don't quite get it, but oh well. By the way that doesn't sound like much fun when they do that :/ So what do you like to make jokes about?

I believe that normal is a very subjective term, apparently its normal over here to use a blackberry every second, so uhm i think normal is something that the biggest part of society accepts :o Sorry i'm just thinking out loud, feel free to ignore that xD I always think too hard about terms like normal :x But oh well what i think is normal is a lot different then what someone else thinks is normal etc.

No, not only clothes and gossip. It's the only ones I can really pinpoint... she likes to talk about band... and... I don't really know. She just talks about whatever comes to mind and somehow it's considered normal by others.

Jokes... completely random humor, dark humor, a bit of lighthearted racist humor? I had a friend last year with whom I laughed just about everything with. We laughed at yams, a bag of chips, a pole, and sometimes for no reason at all. Sadly, I don't have her anymore. She was one of the only people whom I always looked forward to talking to one-on-one. We could be in an empty room with nothing else to do but talk and still have a great time. However, in group settings, even with her, I still have difficulties talking.

You're right. Normal is a very subjective term. That's why I miss my middle school. It was of the norm to be weird there.

Good night, Moonhawk, and thank you for the advice! I'll be heading off to bed now.
