Not much changed other than I'm less likely to be a curmudgeon at any given instant (hard to believe, yes).

It destroyed my "pre-December 2005" account, I had to re-register. My memory is a bit fuzzy on where in 2003 as I was splitting time between several forums looking for one that I liked the moderation of. I was here before Shuffle! had its original run starting in Dec 2003... so that pretty much puts it in the 2003 period.

Come to think of it, why does TRL always post within the template of "A Hero of a Thousand Faces" when it comes to deep-thought topics, with near zero humour? And he seems to be the only poster whom I have consistently read doing so.
EDIT : Okay that is the last straw. I just lost one of the most important things in my life : a proper home. I fought with my dad just now over a faulty air conditioner, whom he got a colleague to install years ago. I pressed him to get me the number of the person who installed it so I can call him tomorrow, and he just ignored me, when I slipped the word "idiot" from my mouth, he tried to hit me. I was so close to grabbing the tweezer from the oil-lamp at the altar and stabbing him but I did a shove throw instead, and my mum came out of her room and broke up our fight. He was ranting that I wasn't studying and playing games all night (how can a person get Bs and As WITHOUT studying?), so I corrected him that he is just being idiotic, not providing for the family and having extramarital affairs. He told me to quit school and go work, so I just blasted him with every single mandarin and hokkien vulgarity I learned in my juvenile days. I was wrong for losing my temper, but that is certainly the limit. He claims that he has his limit that I was pestering him everyday about the aircon, but I only did so just now because it spoiled only today. I was contemplating between taking him to court tomorrow for assault, but my exams is at the end of this week, and my mother's job as a babysitter hangs in the balance due to her image being ruined. At this rate, I am going to be stuck at a dead end job for the rest of my life for dropping out of college/university in my first year. I find it astounding that I lost almost everything at this moment and am still standing : my savings, self-esteem, friends (all of which have gone overseas for their further studies), my ability to play the piano, my empathy and now, my home. What I have left are the few thousand books stored in my head, my sanity, and the less than $2000 in my bank. The next thing I would lose is my place in university because I have absolutely no money left to go there and get a piece of paper for my future. My mother suggested that we each go our own way once I finish this semester - I would quit college and work, my sis will marry and move out, and the house would be sold and the cash will be split amongst us equally. Have I really hit rock bottom with no chance of recovery? Or do I really have nowhere else to go but up?

Really! Your posts in the religion thread and News occasionally have that Robert Frost-ish vibe - crafted in a sage-like paragraphing that is more often used for speech than writing.
It's nothing "doubleplusungood" to write like that, though I had a warning from my old GP tutor that attempting to write like this often turn out to be walls of text. Then again, keeping things too simple often leads to over-generalisation and stereotyping. Quote:
Seeing from a perspective doesn't mean that one has to take that stand. Siding with anything or anyone is a choice, which includes the options to be neutral and walk away. Come to think you it, you don't have to fret so much. Next year is your zodiac year so you should have a buff in 37 days - right at the start of an economic boom (or maybe 3 months late). After all, the best things in life are often kept simple and free.

No thanksgiving here either, which is kinda logical due to my location; no, not the one listed on the left, I meant Europe. ;D At least I believe so, never heard of it being widely celebrated on this continent. Never really cared to research this stuff either.

edit: ah I grabbed the wrong data, it aired July 7, 2005 – January 5, 2006 I do know I was here before the meltdown and had to reconstruct everything from scratch including re-registering. Everything else is foggy (filed under trivial memories and thereby buried in dust).

What's unfortunate is how he doesn't know it's a American (as in Canada + USA) holiday. If I'm not mistaken something-something to do with the settlers conquering the land and prosperous year or what-not.
From Europe here as well.
