    I forgot that a spin-off of the Bit Bar was being built in the city I live in. I just found out today it’s finally open.

    Well, it was quiet at first but more people have come in. Unfortunately, all the women are with their boyfriends. :( This is really disappointing for me.

    Sounds like it's a place guys take dates to, but girls don't feel motivated to frequent on their own...

    Which is unfortunate because I know there are girl gamers. Apparently they get flack from both men and women.

    Friend wants me to join his nerf blaster game with his friends.

    An "alcohol cannon" lobbed a tennis ball half a block away and the concussion rattled the windows--all it was, was soup cans & a condensed-milk can for the carburetor. Aerial shells landed in the neighbors' barbecues. An experiment utilizing the non-compressing properties of water ended up being the time my brother & I broke the sound barrier.
    The shockwave was on video & it was awesome.

    We even practiced special effects cinematography & blew up a scale-model building for an incompleted amateur film--looked very realistic on screen.
    Nerf wars would've been great but we never had many friends. Maybe because my brother & I were loners; or maybe because our backyard was sending up explosions, clouds of smoke, lawnmower noises, and the occasional live chicken.

    The game was at a park and was very hot. Glad I had plenty of hydration. The people were friendly but I had a hard time joining in on the conversations because I don’t keep up with FPS games as well as gaming politics all that much.

    Why is it that when I see others greet people, they get good responses but when I do it, I get bad ones?

    I see it happen with others all the time. I suppose most people in my area are just super extroverted.

    These other people that you see getting the phone details and arranging meet ups....how well do you know them? Unless you are acquainted with them, how do you know that they were just meeting somebody for the first time?

    I know some of them well and others I don’t. The latter just seem to click easily. I saw this a lot at college but when I attempted to socialize, the other person appeared uninterested or even aggravated I was there.

    My mother said I’ll never be self-sufficient but claims she only said “fully self-sufficient”.

    Nice save, on her part. Since nobody is ever "fully self-sufficient."

    Not sure if she's consciously gaslighting you or if she really didn't mean never self-sufficient.

    Sorry but telling me you want a cup of my tears isn’t going to make me support your cause, especially if you aren’t going to be my friend.

    That's *poetic*....I guess. 'cup of tears'.....Can't imagine how that's supposed to work.

    Oh, why do I still feel so weak and achey? Am I coming down with something potentially life threatening?

    You can always see a doctor if you are worried but I think Raggamuffin is right.

    When's your appointment with the specialist?

    I thought it was going to be yesterday but it turns out nothing was truly scheduled so now I have to wait until Thursday of next week.

    Will others celebrate with me when I finally find love after feeling like it would never come into my life?

    I want to make a positive topic before I post regularly again. I have an idea for it but I keep dozing off when I get home.

    Doze off & post about an awesome nap?
    Any desire to post positive stuff is in itself positive.

    The fact the toddler boy at the library liked me months back is proof I would not be an abusive parent.
    Raggamuffin

    Not meaning to be blunt - but a moment in a library with a toddler isn't the same as being a parent. I wouldn't say abuse would be a primary concern. But a parent who is prone to worry, catastrophic thinking and depression has the potential to rub off on the child. Also, research would indicate genetics in ASD and other disorders has a part to play.

    No fuzzy feeling in my head after taking adderall today. I wonder why I still feel indecisive, though.

    You expect a chemical to change your beliefs?

    I thought it would change my neural patterns. I didn’t really factor in beliefs.

    I feel put out I missed the college registration deadline. :(

    I did that once, too. Missed the deadline.

    It was a combination of low funds and indecision on what I should major in (Getting asked that is thorny for me) as well as not having a good laptop and I don’t have a PC. I use my iPhone mainly because my laptop is junk.

    My miss was less complicated. I just had the wrong date. I would have paid extra, if that had been an option, to go to school that semester. But, it wasn't a fatal error. I was definitely on time to sign up for the next semester.

    Why did I even attempt anything when it was all for nothing? :(

    Most of my attempts were for nothing too, but at least I tried, and I learned from having tried, and I'm a better person for it.

    Markness.....So, you don't believe in incremental progress, incremental learning? It's all or nothing; perfect achievement or total failure?
    Markness
    Markness
    My mind thinks that way. A lot of it has to do with how I was brought up and words like “incremental” were considered “liberal words”. Is it possible to change how my mind processes things?
