Gather Ye, For Another Tale of Heartache and DISASTER (And Potentially Cake)

Brain-Dead

How many times can one flog a dead meme?

Now with half of the journal titled resolved via rhetoric, allow me to vent my spleen through the means of ChocoJournal and to random strangers. Well that's a bit unfair, seeing as how I'm the stranger in this close community, but I digress. This is a tale of naive teen romance, and how it started from puppy love to a worldwide NATURAL DISASTER (Day of Crisis!).

See, in my previous journal entries I cited changing trends and life as two reasons why I stopped coming in regularly. I had forgot to add two more reasons: (1) The GFF crashes that happened a while back. If I remember correctly, just prior to the crash GFF started introducing the level system, in which I found wildly addicting and an incentive to post as much as possible. When that was wiped, the will to continue after restoring my Level 20 was minimal :/ (which, co-incidentally, coincided with life picking up the tempo).

(2) I had just started getting into a relationship. This young, "budding" relationship was one with all the ingredients of a DISASTER: One, horny teenage guy, swooning an equally naive gal in the prime of their teenage years. One request for a date to the high school debuntant ball/formal and love blossomed from then on.

What followed were 4-5 years of pissfarting, with neither of us getting anywhere in life. She had dropped out of school after Year 10, and I continued to do my Year 12, but ended with a score that would have been VASTLY improved had I not been with her. "It's not her, that's just how un-smart I am," I excused.

The signs of this disastrous relationship were all there; I just chose to ignore them all. After all, I was "wise" to the experiences in life, and that any seemingly uncontrollable kinks to the relationship could be smoothed out later on in life.

Not listening to my parents' concerns about her being lazy, selfish and uneducated? "Psssh, what would they know?", I thought. Her wanting to always spend time with me and getting annoyed every time I wanted to hang out with mates? "Psssh, I guess she really loves me," I thought. Failing a few subjects at university? "Bah, I just wasn't used to the transition," I thought.

Then out of the blue, four years later, she announces that she "wants to take a break", to help her start a direction in life and for her to concentrate in finding a job. Thinking this to be the complete truth, word-to-word, I let her go and get on with life. It hurts like fuck, but the promise of getting back together keeps me going. In the mean time, things start improving. My relationship with my immediate and extended family starts to heal dramatically. My university results start rising. My social life starts coming back together.

Then, out of nowhere (after 10 months of not replying to calls, MSN messages and whatnot), she decides it's ready again. We try again, but with me noticing a few suspicious things I do some research to find that she had "taken a break" into finding another guy. I confront her, and BOOM. DISASTER.

[ /attempt at summing up the whole story ]

Now that I look back at the whole thing, I can't help but wonder what could've happened had I saved those five years. But that's life: you have your little mistakes, and then you have moments where you completely fuck up. I guess I was too impressionable of a young kid, deluded into thinking that one could find love at such an early age.

My ex-girlfriend was a DISASTER. She was selfish, gold-digging, unpredictable, lazy, meek and quick to judge. Now that I think about it, she wasn't even as pretty as I made her out to be and though the thing that kept me in the relationship was the sex (my excuse was that it was "love"), even that wasn't up to scratch (esp. now that I've delved into the deep, dark, underground world of "adult entertainment"

).

Well, so much for eloquent writing, but if I were to fully explain what happened I would be sitting here forever. Gotta start laying the bases for future relationships and perhaps note down the kinds of characteristics I would like for my next partner.

I'm back, single life. It's been a while. :P

The Global GFF Crisis? Or, How I Stopped Worrying And Still Love GFF

Well, this is particularly weird for me .__.

Having read the "GFF Used To Be Busier" thread, I couldn't help but feel partly responsible for contributing to the trend. Life for me has taken full-flight, and my days of forum-dwelling had seemed to be over. Furthermore, my friends had gagged me and thrown me into the deep end of the Facebook pool, resulting in the creation of quite the Facebook whore. And you know what? I had left GFF behind, coming back every now and then to lurk, read threads and generally stay in the background. The days of contributing a post here and there were all but history, as I struggled to conjure the will to reply and create threads in this once vibrant community.

As a member who does not proactively communicate with the members here, I can only give an idea of what kept me (and perhaps the general public) away from GFF. As mentioned before and in the thread, life, adulthood and social networking sites have contributed to the dry spell in which deferred me from this site. However, one aspect in which I think has intimidated others (or maybe just me) is the sometimes vicious replies given by members of the community.

Don't get me wrong, however! Virtually all the "vicious replies" are well constructed arguments, written out in the most unique GFF-witty way possible. It's like a sport, played by members who know how to play; those who get offended or have the courage to reply immaturely are brushed aside by the charging debaters, focused on getting delivering touchdown of contention to the other parties.

I particularly love reading the conversations that go on in GFF and they are of the highest caliber, even to this day. However, while I could contribute to the discussions here the level of intimidation would be unheard of for one un-initiated with the forums.

Maybe it's due to the fact that I know I'm usually not opinionated enough and/or learned enough for whatever topic is discussed. The better conversations in these forums have been by those who know which side they're on.

Regardless, I'm not going to propose suggestions to try to bring the numbers back in. It may just be a change in trends. It may just be the "elitist" tag the public seems to associate these forums with. Or maybe the new generation of kids these days are simply not intelligent enough to keep up with the level of intelligence in these forums

Either way, it's just sad to see the forums I still love seemingly declining. Sure, the quality of the members make up for the quantity, but as the shining beacon to the increasingly illiterate world, GFF deserves much better.

Cheers for the music, games and drama

. Here's hoping for many more years of quality posting

3 Years? That's How Long I've Been Here? O_o

Hadokeny

Looking at my profile, I just realized that I've been posting and lurking in this community for 3 years and 2 days. Actually, if it hadn't been for the GFF crash years ago I would've been able to track how long I've been here. I think I've been here for about 5-6 years now.

Maybe I oughta get more involved and noticed (hopefully not in the wrong way >_>). Maybe I oughta add more drama for my GFF resume (to add into my wiki). Maybe I oughta stop going to lesser forums, knowing that I would be one of the more intellectual members there... and start hanging out with members of the same/greater intellect. I'll mention my name around here and it'll be like "chao-wat?" xD

Anyhoo, it's late but Happy 3rd GFF to me. Woo!!! Here's hoping you guys continue to entertain me with your witticism, epic debates and properly constructed proses. Cheers!!! ^.^

Christmas, Plans and No Infernal Journals =(

So, this year's Christmas turned out to be the shittiest time of my life. So shitty was Christmas this year, I was tempted post in The Quiet Place and be glutton to GFF-style snarky remarks and witticism. Instead, I do the second best thing and vent my spleen in the GFF journals, glutton to GFF-style snarky comments and witticism

In any case, the next time someone asks me to plan a Christmas party, I'll be avoiding it like the plague. Even with work, I still managed to pull my ass to think of a few things to do for the party (unlike my other friends) and someone felt the need to tell me in front of my face "this year's Christmas sucks". Kinda expected, especially when everyone was too "busy" to help plan this year's Christmas Party, buddy. What's even more insulting is that this same person was the one to ask me to plan the party, yet did nothing at all to help out. Talk about non-appreciation.

Furthermore, my-ex decides to meet up then stands up on me. Woohoo.

And to top it off, no more late-night reading of the always-entertaining Infernal Monkey journals. Unless a conspiracy is brewing that I am unaware of, the lack of insanity is incredibly sad. Infernal & Your Journals, I miss you <3

A little late for it, but Merry Christmas, GFF and a Happy New Year, regardless of how good/shitty they are!

This Week on News Today, This Week

Tired

So here I am, reading some emails for the morning routine. All is well, until I log out and see the miserable state the whole world is in.

Everything seems normal so far.

Let's see what's in the top stories. And a... WTF?

Now THIS is the FECKING news, people.

A driver was masturbating to a 70 year old women who admitted having affairs and getting into "sticky" situations, causing a crash. Of the computer.

If those were the top news stories, then this world is... "Screwed"? Pray for mercy.

Christmas: Tis' the Season Full of Folly

Jolly

[/loop]...And thus the significant day became one about presents and consumerism.

Oh wait, I started with my finishing line >_>. Well, to backtrack a bit, here's what I was taught by my school (because THEY TOLD THE TRUTH!). Christmas was the day everyone celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ oh so many years ago. The word Christmas derived from "Christ" and "Mass", meaning that December 25th was the day to gather and to give thanks to the God above for sending his Son to teach us about compassion, love and peace.

Apparently.

So here I am in modern day 2008, Christmas celebrations all around me. The whole Christmas theme didn't even start in December either, with bells, streams and stars littered on light poles, stores and advertising posters halfway through November. Apart from the churches, there has been NO sign of Jesus or acknowledgement that the upcoming day was about Jesus. While I'm not too much of a follower of religion, one has to wonder where the original meaning of Christmas has gone to.

Perhaps it's over-sensitivity? Other religions seeing Jesus might get offended by the "propaganda-like" plastering if Christmas maintained its original context. Maybe its the lack of care from everyone? These days not many give a crap about the original meaning of this special day. Could that be the shift in society's values? Who knows, but at least Christmas still has the message of compassion, caring and love. Perhaps that's all that counts, right?

Yet even if the message still remains, it's not hard to see how Christmas Day has evolved. Or is that devolved? As time continues and society advances, everything is bound to lose its meaning or, at least, have its meaning changed to the context of the current time.

Christmas was about the birth of Christ, but these days its about giving and sharing... [loop]

300... Balls. Of Furry. Yes. No. Maybe.

Rage!

Ping Pong/Table Tennis: The unofficial sport of Asians. With their flexibility and petite size, it is not uncommon to see a Table Tennis Olympics event dominated by yellow-skinned hobbits, even if the team is a Western one. Australia's Table Tennis Olympics team, in fact, was mostly Asian this year in Beijing.

Heading over to my grandparents' place to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, a Table Tennis table was set up and all of my cousins competed in a tournament which had awesome displays of guts, glory, bravery and skill. The shots were impossible. Some shots improbable. Some showed a stunning display of spin and unexpected angles of bouncing. Others were an expression of pure power.

Balls were broken and constantly replaced. Bats were thrown down in frustration. The Table Tennis table was leaped onto to reach the drop-shots. Verbal abuse and the level of cursing raised to an all new level. Outside of Ping Pong, my family was a harmonious, happy group. But as soon as the table is set, the net is raised, the bats held and the ball thrown, everyone throws down the gauntlet. It's time to battle.

Warriors of Table Tennis unite!

Tonight, WE PLAY IN HELL! >:O

James Bond 007: Kill the Pesky Kids

Sauve.

Finally! After months of being hyped, I finally got to see Quantum of Solace today. Casino Royale was better than this sequel, of course, but as a standalone film, Quantum of Solace manages to entertain.

The annoying thing about today's cinema-going experience was the lack of cinema etiquette. At the beginning of the movie, we had to ask the people behind us to be quiet (for which they did... we thanked them after the movie XD). The people in front of us were noisy as well, so we asked them to quieten down. Unlike the considerate couple behind us though, the kiddies in front kept quite for 10 minutes, then started talking and generally being jerks. I cleared my throat to give them a little sign that we were pissed, but they just forgot it again after 5 minutes. Fricken' kiddies.

Having a 2 litre bottle of Coke within proximity, I was extremely tempted to pick it up and smash them one to the skull. The fact that their parents were there and that I usually just talk and think big (rather than take action) eventuated with them leaving injury free. Alas, killing off one kiddy from Generation-Inconsiderate would've been a good service to the world, but I'll just blame the parents.

Next time, it'll be a PP7 pointed to their heads.

The Big Mac or the Whopper?

Hungry.

Going on one of my random drives again, I came across a dilemma that deeply troubled me: my stomach was crying for food and there was a McDonald's and a Hungry Jacks (Burger King to my American friends =]) across the street from each other. With only a few seconds to spare, I couldn't decide on whether to take the Big Mac or the Whopper.

I was too indecisive and didn't have time to turn into either. Luckily, a KFC was just ahead. XD

While I don't usually go Maccas or Hungry Jacks, it was either hold my stomach until I reached a restuarant, or satisfy my hunger at that very moment. I chose the latter, and those two junk-food chains just happened to be there at that very moment XD.

If it hadn't been for the KFC, I think my stomach would've growled so loud as to cause seismic tremors. But really, how could one decide between two junky but hunger-satisfying Burgers, one with no real advantage over the other? The Big Mac tastes less fatty than the Whopper (yet still manages to taste nice), but the Whopper is all about the flavour.

Alas, it's 2:11am and all this talk is making me hungry. Curse you, fast metabolism :/.

National Aussie Internet Filter: Not Going to Happen! :D

Lazy.

Thank God some of the members in the Australian Parliament have some sense. Either that, or someone hates the current Government.

When news first came of a national filter to ban a few sites, I was initially opposed. Sure, blocking out sites to do with child pornography and anorexia is an admirable goal, but such is the nature of the internet that to impose a filter on EVERYONE'S internet would be futile. Proxy IP addresses and torrents managed to bypass this filter in a trial and the type of filtering was reportedly to the level of North Korea and China. And Australia is a democracy, apparently.

The thing that really got me annoyed was the fact that this filter was reportedly supposed to bring speeds down 25%-75%, which was an outrage considering how far behind we are. The new Government's proposal for high-speed internet? Bah. One step forward and two steps back. We only just got onto Broadband with "unlimited" deals (unlimited being 12GB or 20GB), and anything larger than that includes uploads as part of the limit. Oh, and that you have to sign up for their phone contract to be able to get it too.

Thank God it hasn't passed the Senate and become a national law. It wasn't going to stop child pornography and anorexia anyways and they're not going to kill my already slow speeds

. Those luddites.
