He is only dangerous to himself. (Refering to Phoenix)

I have been in only 2 relationships, both where no good for me, I am actually better off single till I find the right woman. Believe it or not you heard that from a 22 year old Aussie male.

I am also quite protective of my younger sister too. Don't tell her that.

Note I split the thread as we were going a little off topic. This is for general member chat about pretty much anything that doesn't go against the rules.

^yes Majectic, big brothers are good for that also it's hard finding someone with the same interests and without feeling used. Most guys/girls rush into relationships like it's the ;ast thing on earth and that scares me, I want to actually get to know a person before committing myself and I feel I'm too young yet

You seem like an extremely nice senisble person.

Thats my point exactly. After the relationships I have been in and the way some past friends have used me I have moved into the quiet approach. Friendship is an important part of any relationship, plus as I see it there is still plently of time for romance and all that jazz, when I'm old like Hellkite I may have a different tune.

Anyway, Pheonix is a nice guy and is harmless and playful most of the time.

I actually like the quiet approach, otherwise I'll run the other way as it makes me very uncomfortable. My brothers are in good stable relationships and both married and one is 38 and the other is 35, I was an "afterthought" and was kind of spoilt by them and a shock, but a nice shock for my folks as well. and they have been married since they were 19 and my brothers married in their 30's the oldest it was his 2nd relationship and the younger one it was his 1st. But I always say "good things come to those who wait"

 

[Queen_Amy]

Same here. Quiet approach was best with me. Elrond and I took it slow for a long time until we really knew it was right. The "ka-pow" approacch, which is the oppossite of the quiet appproach is like going into a batttlefield nott even knowing what ur up against

Thats very true, the slow approach is the best course. I have learnt not to go out looking, but just to enjoy yourself and have fun and if something is ment to happen it will.

I'm the oldest, my sister who is our Super Moderator here is a few years younger than I.

Oh yeah a lot of people do that ka-pow approach.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I try to do more the quiet approach. Granted I always seem to attract the crazy women. So, it always end up balancing out. Ofcourse I am just that way (quiet that is). Atleast I used to be. I am one of the few people that I know of that can make a living in high pressure sales jobs without applying any pressure. I've sold a few items that the company expects you to be told no 15 times before you give up on a sale. I went a total of 2 no's before I told people to have a nice day. That was all it took to figure out if they really wanted to buy something or if it was a waste of both my time and thiers. And most those jobs I changed the "demo script"or the approach of everyone in the office (including the managers) before I went on to a different job.

Ofcourse I am not bragging about myself. I am a very humble and very over self critical. I am a workaholic and when it comes to work or something I am responsible for I am ussually a perfectionist about it. Still not sure if that is good or bad. LOL

Perfectionist? I am like that but it is towards myself, I put higher standards and expect more of myself than I do towards anyone else.

For example the job I did yesterday at work I was not happy with at all, but my boss and a fellow worker said it was really good. I was still not happy with it though.

I have my different personallities, I am quiet at times then annoying and loud at other times. I think my sister can confirm this.

I try not too work too much, but I know I spend too much time on this machine that they call a computer.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

The only problem I really have is this constant nagging feeling that I am completely wasting my talents. Add on top of that what seems to be the world's worst luck ever. I try to get ahead and I seem to get knocked back twice as far back as I was when I started. But I don't believe in giving up. So, I just keep fighting and pushing. The hope is eventually the bad luck will turn to good.

 

[Queen_Amy]

Thatt's the same with Elrond and I. Trying to gett ahead just puts you that mucch further back. Never seems to endd but somehow that cycle willl end. If Elrond cann't have much hope for hhimself then I'll have to have it for the both of us.. In a way, we're both digging ourselvves out of the hole thhat college dug for us. Just wasn't worth the moneyy paid towards it, for either of us, yet. Elrond won't sttop with the server nor give upp and somehow I know that will bring us out of this hole. I might seem like the happy kind of persson withh no emotional problemms, but I've got them too. I personally run it off until I can't run anymmore. It's better than havving a temper tantrum. Elrond pullled me out of my depresssion which I had back when I didn't know himm. Now just to get Elrond pulled out of it, which is looking to bbe an on-going battle, uphill.

Back when Bush wass in offfice, we supportedd what he was doing, but his internall reforms are just atrocious. We have abbout 980 days left until he ggets out of office but it willl be a long time before this wholle mess is cleaned up. Back when Bush was campaigning for the presiddency, we both thoughtt that people saying they werre going to leave the counntry should just leave, we'll help them pack! But now, we're both startingg to become that same type of peopple. The country's falling appart because it was founded on clay and the water's rushed in, creating a hole that America won't be able to digg itself out of iff it goes on any longer like this...


I try to remainn optimistic but sommething has to be done and soonn. Or else findingg good money in our profession and payingg high tariffs for gas will not bbe the only things we have to worry about.

Well Maj, you just told me then!! So don't go blaming the others!!! God help me the day I bring a boyfriend home.....

I have my different personallities, I am quiet at times then annoying and loud at other times. I think my sister can confirm this.

Hmmm....what will happen if I confirm this though?? Will I become the not-so-Super Mod?

Well just like any Gemini (myself for example), you do have multiple personalities, but I think that the placid one comes across more than the firey one. The firey one only comes across when you have met a bad driver on the roads on the way home!

I have heaps of different personalities. The nice one, the funny one, the perfectionist one, the bitchy one, the annoying one, the shy one, the loud one, the naggy one and the lazy one are the most prominent on my short list. This, Maj can confirm.

 

[Queen_Amy]

Strange I havven't nagged at Josh too much yyet. He gets naggy though, not with mme too mcuh but usuallly family memberss. I'm remarkablyy shy most of the ttime but here I'm at home. Josh and I both got the remarkably lazy and unmotivatedd side. I got quitte bitchy just lattely on Elrond's site with some peopple. Downright nasty is the wword best to describe itt. I don't swear too much, and this wass one of those times that wass the exception. LOL (Good thing is was in the admin section onnly)

Then thhere was my teaching expperience where I dropped the S-bomb a few timess near the ennd of the year. I couldn't do it anymore so after a yyear i quit. If worst comes to worrst then I might go backk into it again if I have to. But that would be onnly to save the worlld LOL

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

The quiet approaches, yes... That's my way, too.

I am actually quiet happy with my girlfriend. (well, I should be better.)
Lasts now for three years (wow, other people in my age have relationships for three month!) and I know to whom I can go when I need someone to talk (besides a psychologist, lol) and she knows that, too.

I just think that I really had GREEEAAAT luck finding this person!

 

[Queen_Amy]

Sounds like what Elrond and I have. Besst of luck to you and yourr bride to be!

 

[Jess]

and the same as my art......it has to be just right

That is the same as me!!!

I have actually JUST gotten my HSC artworks properly framed and glass put in the frame to protect them, and I did them almost 18 months ago! (Maybe this belongs in the procrastinators club..)! But it took me a while to choose the right frame, but now I wish I had chosen one a bit thicker, but it would have cost heaps more! I'll post a pic when I get it up on the wall.

 

[Emmapeel]

that's nice

Ah your too picky, they look fine in the room that you have choosen to hang them up in. It was the first thing I noticed when I came downstairs after getting home from paintball. Oh the sore legs, I still have them you know. I am glad I have an RDO today.

Your a little like me, putting high standards on yourself. The funny thing is I put these standards on myself but expect a lot less from others. But be all the disappointments I have had with other people in my past and I expect to be stabbed in the back by them all the time now. I do it to avoid getting hurt, may also be the reason why I have not fallen in love again.

I will just wait, weather its a year or 10 years for the right person.

Anyway seriously your pics look great where you have them.

Unfortuantely, because I was the one who painted them, I can only see the faults when I look at them, not the good bits!

And you, you need to begin trusting people more. You won't ever find someone if you never let them in. Not everyone is bad, some are disappointing and some are in it for themselves, but there are a lot of good people around, you just have to find them. Getting hurt is just a part of life. And you will get hurt the more you expect it. You probably don't realise, but if you think you will get hurt, people will pick up on that, and will hurt you. But getting hurt makes you a stronger person. You just need to get back on the horse, as they say.

 

[Emmapeel]

I'm afraid I agree with Jess on this one Majestic, there are people in our lifetime who are going to hurt us, both cyber and real ones but you take it on board as a learning experience and most importantly, you don't let it make you bitter. I was born with a bad hip due to a doctor letting my mum have a natural birth and I was teased for years and I could have become angry and bitter and resentful (luckily I had 2 big brothers who adored me and protected me) but I learnt to stand on my two feet and laugh back at and with them and found that my bullies became my friends and it was a slow, long process but worth it in the long run and I learnt to love myself too and my little quirk of nature as it made me what I am. Ok and now I'll shut up as I'm probably going way off topic but Majestic there is a good girl waiting for you out there and you'll know when the time is right, I promise

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I must agree as well. If I have not allowed my years of pain and suffering to alter my trust in people. Then I know you can make it. Many don't know this but I was born with many health problems. My muscle developement was very slow. I did not walk till I was over 18 months old. I took handfulls of pills until I was a teenager.....My hand/eye cordnation was horrid until about the 9th grade. Most of this I got past b/c I pushed myself to do beyond my best at everything I could. I even had a speech problem. I worked through them all. It is only now after I have tired my system to the point of exhaustion that my speech problem has started to return. But I still force myself to push past it. Eventually it will catch up with me if things don't change. But life must be an "all in" deal. Thats what makes it worth living.

 

[Atlantis]

Hmm, well until now i've just coasted really. Relationships aren't my strongpoint, either. I've had a couple of girlfriends but in retrospect I wasn't really mature enough to make it work. If I knew then what I do now... It'd be much different. For a start I would've chosen different girls, lol. Harsh, but I did make some bad choices; they all turned out to be cheap [censored].

But, thanks to situations like the Student Exchange I've made many good friends, which altered my life a lot, taught me to grow up a lot, and made me realise there are some nice people out there if you know where to look.

Also people tend to use me because i'm a bit quiet, they take me as being without will, or teeth. But now I'm starting to fight back against such people, using them just as they used me, but to a lesser extent. Just enough for them to eventually notice, but only when I've achieved what I've wanted and left. Hence in the next couple of weeks I'm going to be telling my co-workers where they can stick their job. :-D Diplomatically, of course. Maybe.

 

[Majestic]

I trust people, but I expect them to disappoint me either really quickly after getting to know them or later down the road after they think that I really trust them.

Until I find the right people I have learnt to be wery.

 

[Jess]

That is so true!

Lately there has been someone online who I have been talking to and really valued them in my life, but they've like full on turned for no apparent reason (other than me supporting my brother, and they could not handle that ), and get this, BANNED me from visiting the forums that we created together!! I find it quite amusing really! The immaturity of some people...

But the moral of this story is, that although it does bother me a bit, I am glad that this person showed their true colours early on before it totally devestated me. I am actually glad that this happened, because really, I don't need someone like that in my life.

P.S. I know that this will get back to them, and I honestly can't give a sh*t because I don't really care what they think anymore!

Yes the person in question is quite immature, I was quite annoyed at the double standards that this person put on me compared to themselves, this person really needs to start acting their age to be quite honest.

As far as I am concerned, Jess you/we are better of with out this person taking offense to every little word that I/we say. Thank god I don't need to reword everything I say these days to avoid this person from taking offense.

Due to this I have blocked this person out of this site. They have my email address if they ever want to appologize or talk about it, but we are far to busy to worry about people who act like little children who expects everyone to do things for them and say how high when they say jump.

 

[Hellkite]

yep it is so much better with out you know who here

 

[Jess]

LoL Was I that obvious?!?! Oops...

 

[Elrond]

Aye, obvious it was, but everything's operating quite well now.
