Guest July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 Yep. Have been since what, 2013? Wanted to talk to him in real-time about something or other, so yeah. Why?
Kiahdaj July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 Oh, I see. Just curious. I wanted to talk to him in real-time about something or other not long ago, and we just used the IRC. "If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."
Guest July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 At the time, I wanna say Shui was hardly on, or maybe generally wary of the IRC, though I could be wrong. I've also always been more on mobile devices than anything, and IRC is, and always has been, a pain for me. Facebook messaging was pretty ideal, so eh. In general, I honestly think more people who are buddies online should be friends on Facebook. Never know when somebody's going to kick it, and FB is honestly the first place people are going to find out, for all of the posts that'll end up on whoever's wall. I've always been terrified of some of my good online friends not knowing what happened if I were to fall down a flight of steps, or get hit by a stray, super fast baseball. Idunno. I figure that if something ever does happen to me, in my final moments, I'll try and contact the friend who's the most connected to the rest of my internet circles, and hope everyone gets the memo. Which is sadly not Shui, so I'll just hope he checks out my FB periodically, if I ever go dark without a word. Cough, grim stuff aside, uhh. Yeah, I've got nothing. Good talk.
sushi July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 Yeah, back in 2013 I was much more active on Facebook. In early 2014, I tried media deprivation, and I discovered that cutting Facebook out of my life adds hours to my day, and I don't even miss it. I log in periodically, but I sometimes go a few months in between. Oh, and I'd totally check your wall if you vanished from the face of the internet, Enny.

Kiahdaj July 12, 2015 July 12, 2015 I deleted my Facebook account about 4 years ago, and I don't miss it one bit. I didn't actually talk to or hang out with all that many of my "friends" on there anyway, so no real loss. I cut out a fair bit of drama, as well. I know I didn't have to read all of that crap, but I couldn't help it. Now Tulpa.info is the largest read: only source of drama in my life. "If this can be avoided, it should.

Dracky July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 Bleh. Facebook. Everyone on my Facebook was someone I either knew from my hometown that I wasn't ever friends with, or someone from college that I wasn't really friends with anymore. I still compulsively checked it once a day and had a minor rage attack from something stupid someone posted. Finally I gave up and deactivated my account 2-3 years ago. When I tell people I don't use Facebook, they always react like I just told them that I live in the woods with no electricity and use tree bark for toilet paper or something. I wanna see movies of my dreams.
Actinium July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 I never saw a point to having an account on sites like Facebook or Twitter. Most of the people I knew used it to keep in touch with their friends from school or things like that, but I was never really much of a social guy anyway. Yeah you can make other friends from around the world and things like that, but I just never bothered to make one because I simply didn't want to. I'm more comfortable talking on a website that's made around a media or a topic, like this one for instance. "It's all about synthesis, you don't have to be a real musician.

Guest July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 I semi-frequently attend social gatherings and the like which are organized on FB, being more convenient than getting ahold of 20+ people individually, and then there's the issue of not having service on my phone half of the time, so it's convenient as hell for me. Don't see myself deactivating in the next while. I also very carefully manage who I'm in contact though, so that helps with the drama and what-not. To each their own, I guess. I'm so bored. Constantly. I don't know what to do but sleep and.. Well, yeah. So much sleep.. November needs to hurry up and get here. September too, for that matter. Can finally apply at most places after then, cause b-day. Small-towns suck. No work.
Kiahdaj July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 Small-towns suck. No work. This is my whole life right now. I'm unemployed because there's practically no work here, and I can't afford to move. How would I live?

Guest July 13, 2015 July 13, 2015 Very carefully But nah, I know how you feel. My dad wants me out within the next several months, because my 4-year-old brother is still sleeping in the parents' room, and my sister still has a few years to go. I have no clue what-so-fuckin' ever what I'm supposed to do, and every time I start making plans with friends, which seems to be my best, and only bet, father starts getting all condescending on me. "You're in for a rude awakening when you find out how tough it is", like I don't acknowledge that I'm going to be fucked, and miserable. And then I get told why it's a terrible idea, and how, apparently, 'Friends will let you down 100% of the time'. So I guess he just expects me to live out of a car for a couple years, or something. I do know he had a terrible moving-in-with-friends experience as a young adult because he was an idiot, and everybody involved bought more booze than food, so I guess he's making assumptions based off of that? I don't know. It's worked out well enough for anyone else I know, so idunno why he's gotta be such a butt about it. Idunno. I'll figure it out one way or another, sure, but all of the negativity is ridiculously stressful. In other news, holy hell is it hot. And humid. And just, terrible. So terrible. My brother's room, next house over, absorbs heat because it's made of shitty materials, and we've been trying to fix his damn A/C unit. Figured we can't, so that sucks. He's probably gonna die of heat-stroke or something, who knows. But yeah, way too hot :l
