Indeed!  And so it goes, round and round. > Good luck in the exams.

Every girl’s eye I catch is a two-three-second exam.

Nonsense??  I really fail to understand folks who don’t understand the "gotta be happy with yourself" stuff. > Well I think it’s over now. We’re on a break but I really can’t see us > getting back together. No fight or anything just she’s too busy and I’m not > prepared to just not ever see her.

She’s not there for you — you can’t be happy by yourself, you need her around?  Is this the crux of the matter? > So my mood? Well initially I was very upset. But then it calmed down.

Ahh, I know what you mean.  I’ve had lots of chances, too, but none ever panned out for one reason or another — so now I’m looking to kayaking on the Hudson by my lonesome. Look on the bright side — it’s better to be alone in the summer.  You don’t feel as bad — and, frankly, the chances for ending that loneliness are greatest during the summer! > To be honest though when I feel left out now it effects me alot more.

Like I was telling my sister the other day: all that’s just a distraction!  After all, what’s the point of growing up but to be independent (as much as possible)?  Not just financially, but emotionally, intellectually, etc. When you get really tired of the push and pull of existential angst on the one hand and illusory, distracting thrills on the other, you’ll try to be "happy" on your own, too…. > Who knows what the future will hold? Right now I think I need the cliche > ‘me’ time because I can finally stop saying to myself it’s different for me > cause I haven’t been with anyone.

Indeed — I’ve been "working" on myself as well, getting back into the gym, taking up kayaking, continuing my literary ambitions…all stuff I didn’t have time for due to the ex (who’s calling me again!). > Excuse the thread, just some random ramblings before exam season starts > tommorow.

We really ought to do something about these sexual desires…I can’t wait for the geneticists to engineer them out on demand…I could use less distractions myself. > Anon.

Thanks for the update.  It’s always interesting hearing from fellow loners (or "failed ‘joiners,’" as may be the case).

Good use of paragraph division. Your thesis, however, requires the support of arguments. Concluding paragraph weak. I notice you have not referred to any of the set texts in your answer. > I keep imagining him running his spell check, revising each of his posts 20 > times, rewriting sentences and paragraphs, etc, etc.

I have never in my life used a spell cheque. > Never know, one of his students might read the ng!!;-) > His life woudl be over!!!;-):):)

Nah, there’s always work selling bottled water on buses.

> wish i knew the secret to that.

Well I should have qualified it. The friends I’ve made at my work place usually just remain workplace friends. I rarely go out with them. Also because a lot of students work there I can go out with them if I want but that’s less to do with the work place and more to do with university. It also depends on your job a lot too. Obviously if your job isn’t very social your not really gonna be making a lot of friends on it. That’s why I say to people who say they don’t make friends at work to change your job. Sure money IS important but your social life (not using social life in the teen sense I mean social in the human social animals sense) is far more important. Even if you take a pay cut try and get a more social job. The good things about jobs are they force you to be there daily. Unlike joining clubs or whatever they aren’t voluntary. We all need money. What kinda work do you do? "poet" <p…@asarian-host.net> wrote in message

:) We all try and make all the typos and grammar goofs we can think of in here to teach him to relax and leave his job at work… But he’s really taking his job very seriously.;-) I keep imagining him running his spell check, revising each of his posts 20 times, rewriting sentences and paragraphs, etc, etc. Never know, one of his students might read the ng!!;-) His life woudl be over!!!;-):):) Hi there, Anon!

Hahahaha spell check corrected it for me! I generally can write extremely well but my spelling is atrosious (I won’t spell check this post so that’s prolly spelt wrong). Yeah travelling. I wanna do that but I have little money. Still no excuse it’s so cheap to go to Europe now days. But then again I don’t have a passport I have to get one. But I really do go thru stages. I know once I get a job in the summer it will be ok cause you really do make friends in your job and I’ll be able to exercise and read all I want. Man that spelling thing cracked me up.

Response:

I posted here a couple months ago saying I had a gf and I feel much better. The general consensus seemed to be that soon as she was gone I would fall back into despair again due to that "happy with yourself" nonsense. Well I think it’s over now. We’re on a break but I really can’t see us getting back together. No fight or anything just she’s too busy and I’m not prepared to just not ever see her. So my mood? Well initially I was very upset. But then it calmed down. Now I don’t look forward to the upcoming summer. I thought I’d spend it with her. But still I’;m not depressed just a little lonely. Hmmpf wish I had someone to spend the summer with tho. I got plenty to do though so it should be ok and I’ve been looking foward to it for a while. To be honest though when I feel left out now it effects me alot more. When I was with her I didn’t care at all. That was the most wonderful thing. Who knows what the future will hold? Right now I think I need the cliche ‘me’ time because I can finally stop saying to myself it’s different for me cause I haven’t been with anyone. Excuse the thread, just some random ramblings before exam season starts tommorow. Anon.

Don’t apologise. Anyone who can spell "consensus" correctly is always welcome here. Like you say, you’re disburdened of that "what if I’m a freak that no girl will ever want?" inner monologue. It gets a lot easier and smoother after that. Any chance of travelling this summer? Give you something to look forward to. Grab a slice of world. Take a camera. Something to show the next gf, to a background of soft music and a glass of something sweet and efficacious. Good luck in the exams.
