Hey, Mecka get off your high horse and come down to earth.

But I like my high horse! All the better for cutting people down, after all.

mephisto says:
I was just being sarcastic, have you heard of it , mecka?

It sounded more like whining from this side of the HTTP request, but I'll concede the point here. Put simply, I am not very sympathetic regarding people's emotional pain, and before you say it, I expect the same of other people when I am emotionally distraught.

Worst of all, that post summed up about 75% of everything I hate about Valentine's Day - bitter single people who complain about their angst-ridden life and either 1) their inability to get/keep a S.O, or 2) their recent breakup. (I mean no offense to you about this, I have to deal with it far too much). I just needed a person who fit this type to lash out at, and you were in the right place at the wrong time, so to speak.

If it helps, I also didn't want you to become another angsty geek. Anyone who is a workaholic like you claimed to be should remain like that. Else I would have had to use lines like, "You could've been a contender!" and we all know that wouldn't have been pretty.

mephisto says:
Be nice to someone in pain, mecka cause what goes around comes around.

In most cases, I would agree with you that events such as this are statistically likely to occur in all people. I cannot agree in my case; I am not the 'nice guy' some people here may still think. Nor do I have the social skills everyone else here seems to be blessed with. In fact, I am quite sure that the majority of the people with whom I have an amicable relationship tolerate me only because I am a valuable resource in doing classwork (after all, I'm still a high school student). Combine that with an abnormal love of my computer (technophilia, of course) and a face only a mother could love, I can guarantee you I will never have to deal with a romantic relationship of any kind. (Not that I really want to, for reasons which can be evidenced by your behavior after your breakup).

mephisto says:
I will not henceforth complain on this board and conduct myself as any self respecting, emotion-bottling geek behaves.

That's all I ask.

... (deleted for brevity) ... Thanks, mecka.

I hope you're not trying to lay a guilt trip on me, because it won't work. Though, if you aren't, I'll apologize for my outburst.

Hey , mecka, i'm the last one to get into playing games like that. I don't have the time or the resources required in order to do something like that.....
Well, i'm sorry about being an idiot, just a little identity crisis there. I've become a little too social lately and i've forgotten my geek roots and since i have realised that i'm going back to being a normal geek .
Thanks to mecka for getting me out of my stupid, whiny, self pitying mood.
If you're ever in toronto, drop by and we can have a quake fest. you can have the server to play on..
bye, all

enemy's army without fighting at all.''

-- Sun-Tzu

I sympathize with ya, mephisto.� I found a little something that might give you a smile and/or clue you into a new artist.

Winsome Smile

Stop thinkin' now, quit second-guessin' all your failed relations
With your would've, could've, should've, maybe, might-a-been.
I'll show you how, send your feelin's out for lubrication
Lose these blues and screw your head on tight again.
She cut you bad, your heart is just a scar
If you could just get mad you would be better off by far.
What you want is taken, what you need is better circulation
Work that heavy heart and get it light again.

Listen to me now, you suffer from a sad misapprehension
That if she could read your mind she'd see just how it ought to be.
But she's read it all by now,
And your style don't get a grip on her attention.
She ain't in your state of mind and she don't wanna be.
You think if she'd just talk you could explain it all.
She'd be polite, but all night she's been hopin' you won't call.
She'll say it's all her fault, she'll always be your friend
Plus loads of shit too dumb to mention.
I been that road, it's paved with good intentions.

It's hard to believe, but I'm tellin' you, your heart would soon recover,
But you don't want it to, you love this achin' agony.
It's noble and it's true, you won't forsake this pain for other lovers,
I think happiness would fill your mind with misery.
But time will wound all heels, and it ain't pretty
With any luck at all she'll find some dope that you can pity.
Your loss is measured in illusions, your gain is all in bittersweet intelligence
And your winsome smile will lose some of its innocence.
Your winsome smile...
Your winsome smile will lose some of its innocence.

What Tau apparently means by this is, "alter the meanings of what I (Mecka) say to fit your view of life." Another related method is known as "rationalizing with an obtuse metaphor, such as "sometimes the straightest path is trhought the mud."

No thanks are necessary for my clarification of what could've been a disastrous misinterpretation. I guess I'm just a community service kind of guy.

Actually I take out the garbage for my mom. (HS student, remember?)

now...good ideas for a date. i posted a few a couple days back...but hell, i got some better ideas. now...assuming this isn't a first date, and if you have any artistic talent at all, you could go to an art supply shop together and plan a painting/drawing to do together...pick up the art supplies at charettes or someplace, and go back to your house to paint.

go to a used-cd shop. you can both rifle through shelves of cds and records without having to flip past those annoying top-40 bands. buy some records, go home, listen to them together. dance together, chill, cuddle up or get really stoned together, depending on what you're spinning.

or...do one of my favorite activities. run rampant through a toy store or kwik-mart. play with the scooters, duel in the sample games, and stage barbie battles at toys-r-us. buy her a stuffed animal. ride the shopping carts and load up on candy and ice cream at the convenience store. it sounds really lame, i know, but it ends up being a lot of fun.

About at subtle as dynamite.

Anyway...

1). Go to a convention (anime, scifi, Godzilla, gaming).
2). Trek out to the nearest hobby shop (preferably wargaming) and stock up on miniatures. Then build/paint the models at home and have a battle.
3). Do something illegal. (As in federal offense, not misdemeanor). Fleeing from the police always brings you closer together.
4). Uh, I'm out of ideas...

Six...
