The Eternal Thread: 2016 is dead! Long live 2017!

Six if you count the Eoin Colfer one.

Don't you dare.

...I liked that one.

[Auremena]

The five book trilogy was even better.

Got the books in one single tome. :3

What is the Answer?

42

I like 28 better.
And 15

You get salmon.

I love fish. I'll take it!

Salmon for everybody!

[Galloism]

Well, I'm not feeling positive ATM.

I understand, you ever need anyone I'm here.

Think I'm just going to try to sleep.

My Facebook reminded me that one year ago today I took pictures of snow.

Today it was 60 degrees. And people try to convince me that climate change is a hoax

I distinctly remember times when I was a kid and we'd get a week or two of snow - now we're lucky to get a weekend of snow twice in a winter.

Then you have to stop seeing yourself as unfriendly and a bitch.

It's obviously hard to follow through with that because following certain archetypes and perceptions of ourselves is really the only way we get through the day, but those same ideas about yourself, and maybe about other people as well, are what fundamentally holds us back from really doing more and reaching to what we're fully capable of doing.

I don't feel fitting to give this advice, to be fair; I've felt in that sense of the gutter before, feeling like I'm the most useless person I knew, but objectively I'm not that and probably do significantly better than the rest of my peers, at least at the school that I'm in.

Point is that it's a universal feeling. We all get it from time to time and the only way to see yourself through it and to improve is to stop seeing yourself as fundamentally only ever being able to be that thing.

I don't want to do retail anymore. I'm fine with being avoidant.

In general. I meant that in general, we all have the need to push away the feeling that we're only ever a certain thing; you're implying that right now by comparing yourself with your past self being in retail and not wanting to do it anymore. (I didn't help by referring to that in my rant, I apologise...)

The larger point is to try as much as you can to not just see yourself as simply a concept; as simply the words that you use to describe yourself to others so that you can start looking at yourself more fully and critically and improve on the things you want to improve on and that it's a terribly hard thing to do, at least going from my own personal experience it sure as fuck is...

Salmon for everybody!

I read that as Shalom for everybody.
Shabbat Shalom to you too, I guess...

[Kannap]

I don't like fish, I won't take it.

BUT THE SNOW BELT IS COLDER THEREFORE HOAX

[Gallade]

Don't you dare.

...I liked that one.

I did too, but while Colfer may have tried to emulate Douglas Adams it very much read like a Colfer book. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but don't try and include an Artemis Fowl in Space.

I joined NS in December of 2002. This is the fifteenth year I've been on NS. That's nearly half my life. D:

Wanna have an old peoples' party? Sounds like I'm around your age.

Maybe? I'm 31*, but not very good at parties, I'm bad at small talk and I don't drink alcohol.

*This means I'm about in the middle of the Modly age range, incidentally. We've got some real venerable elders up in there.

I'm minoring in Environmental Studies/Environmental Science. Getting myself educated on the environmental matters. Republicans can't pull the wool over my eyes anymore

They'll learn when they find themselves without food.

Or maybe they wont. Or, maybe they'll have all the food and we dont have any food.

There awaits us only doom in the future. There was never any hope. None at all.

Nighto.

Sorry, im drunk right now. Anything over three lines or so is kinda tl;dr.

Salmon for everybody!

You're an odd cat.

Oh, alright then.

Don't see yourself as just one thing; see yourself as... yourself. Which is hard, but that's the only way to live in a world where everyone else will probably see you as just one thing.

...he really didn't try to. Unless you count Wowbagger, and he didn't really read very much like Artemis.

What's the oldest/youngest age in the group?

I don't know off the top of my head. It's like 20s to 70s, I think? But I might be adding years to the honored ancients there. 60s at least.

Gonna need it for that nonexistent winter tho.

I will have to root out my copy, but I could have sworn that in the foreword Colfer wrote he tried his best to write in Adam's style.

But of course, I'm likely wrong. You're sounding a lot more resolute on this issue than I am and I don't see that changing even after my morning coffee.

You will take my fish and you will like it.

Oh. Never mind, grandma, I'm actually only 27. Although, it's awesome that you don't drink alcohol. Neither do I. I'm not alone in that regard for once!

What I see myself as =\= what I actually am.
But if I were to choose one thing to focus on, it'd be beauty. Brains haven't gotten me anywhere but depressed on my inability to be at the level I should for my age and potential.
If I were pretty, some rich guy would allow me access to his finances. Or at least that's how it works on TV and movies...

You will take my fish and you will like it.

Get. Off. My. Lawn.

Joke's on you, I don't have a lawn.
