Davie can use each of his relatives and close friends names, one at a time, during this friggin irritating entry period thingy jean-luc made us notice and messed it up for everyone else. Thanks a lot.

 

That's also against the rules, so you'll get disqualified if they notice.

 

However there's a prize every week, and you can enter every week. I think counts based on when you do the survey, so if you buy taco bell two days in a row then you should wait befor submitting the second one to get the best chances (so, yaknow, 1 in a million instead of 1 in 2 million)

So once a week? Hurray! We are back in baby!

I'm no space scientist, but Rosetta's descent was moving. I imagine how I'd feel if I'd have worked on something so remarkable for many years and watched it come to an end so peacefully.

Did anyone else follow Fist of the b0rf Star, and other short episodes? Love it. The song playing during that episode is also really fantastic, sad I hadn't heard of it until that episode came out. Full thing here.

That was... strange. I suppose it'd make more sense if I watched the whole thing. The song is indeed cool.

I'm normally really good at not being sad. I definitely never want to be, for sure, so I should have the choice whether I'll be sad at something or not. Usually works.. you can logic things away like, I couldn't help that, that's just how it is now, being sad won't help, heck, being happy could help.

 

But I never hurt someone before. and I can't think of what to say to myself. I don't want to be sad. But I don't know how not to right now. My chest is tight and I'm just trying not to think.

I'm definitely not happy, so I think I'm sad.

Does the hurt need to be obvious for you to see it?

[Lucilyn]

What? I don't know what you're asking. If I know I hurt someone then I know I hurt someone, that's all there is to it.

 

Tewi told me to come to the wonderland, so I did and we sat on a bench by our waterfall. And I kind of cried in her lap. not like sobs but definitely red eyes and sniffles. Who would've thought I'd be the first of us to cry? Reisen showed up too and did the thing she does, smiled while she hugged me and said it would be alright. She said they were just being dramatic and would be happy again soon, and that two sad people is not better than one.

 

I don't know, I don't want to do anything including moving around. I haven't even moved since I wrote that post. Ignore my signature because this is the slowest post any of us have ever typed.

Well, I think being sad is good. Emotions have no meaning unless they are contrasted against something. Feeling a deep low helps to feel a deep high later. Being continuously happy is unsustainable in a healthy brain.

 

Being close to people is dangerous, especially dramatic people with shifting perspectives. But it is worth it, even when it hurts. It is part of the experience of life.

[Lucilyn]

neither tewi nor I believe in that. Eckhart Tolle always said you couldn't be happy without making yourself equally sad at a later point. But I don't believe it. Everyone experienced enough sadness in their life to know what happiness is like by the time they were like ten. You can be happy always. Even though Tewi's going for the same type of "peace of mind" that he preached so much, free from happy and sad or whatever, that's not for me. I want to be happy. If you're challenging me there I will say that I'm already not.. totally.. sad anymore. Because I am surrounding myself with happy things. If I can be happy all day every day for months and months just to be kind of sad once for like an hour before repeating the process I think that is good enough to prove the happiness<->sadness thing wrong. They are not equal and don't have to be for anyone. You can be happy all the time and almost never sad your entire life. You just have to want it and work for it.
