The year before she left for college, my mother was deathly ill with some awful stomach virus and she was stumbling to the bathroom (which is right beside my room) and I guess her bowels let loose and she defecated right outside of my door. And my cunt sister yelled my name and said "come here" knowing that I would come out of my room and step right in it. And I did.  On August 06 2011 03:50 StorkHwaiting wrote: Sounds awesome. You, my friend, have taken the fake sick to skip school gag to a whole new level. On a serious note though, would it help you out at all to tell yourself, "Hey, even if I have cancer, I don't care, I'm going to make the best of my time?" Seems pointless to agonize over it. Your body's gonna do what it wants to do. Eat right, sleep right, exercise right. Beyond that, it's up to fate. It does seem like I've found myself in an exciting position because I'm a hypochondriac psycho. As for your serious note, I don't view this from a perspective of life and death so much as from a perspective of time. I know I'm going to die, but I want to die when I'm old. Not now. Not in my twenties. I'm too scared right now to die right now. On August 06 2011 03:51 CTStalker wrote: lol don't know anything about austria, but i hope the move goes well! Thank you so much.

It's not that I'm indifferent, I just don't know what to expect at all. I'm excited, actually. On August 06 2011 03:56 DwmC_Foefen wrote: Austria has mountains. Mountains, fyi, ARE FRICKING AWESOME. Also I go hiking there every year and go snowboarding there, not every year. TLDR: MOUNTAINS. You're from Belgium, I love Jean Claude Van Damme and Eddy Merckx so much. Also the Tintin cartoons.

If you enjoy hiking than you gonna love Austria. I hate the United States. Actually, I just hate the people. And I've never been hiking because Americans are too overworked, underpaid, and too sick from lack of quality healthcare to have any time to do anything. You Europeans have a six week holiday, us Americans have an eight day vacation that we spend doing nothing expect drinking a beer while sitting in a chair. You're also from Slovenia, I've read all the works of your philosopher Slavoj Zizek. I love reading things he wrote and then memorizing them and saying them to people during conversations and feeling smart.

All i can say right know is that upper austrians (cause Linz is located in upper austria) are the most nicest guys amongst all other austrians, at least in my mind, although i'm from styria ^^ Oh, this is perfect. I don't even know where to begin as far as what I want to know. Just tell me everything you want, I'm grateful for any information. Also, what exactly is the German dialect they speak there? We always spoke German when I was a kid, but I don't know how well I'll be understood. On August 06 2011 04:05 OpticalShot wrote: I went to Vienna when I was in high school, and got to see the Vienna Philharmonic - it was awesome! Maybe it's just Vienna, but I have this impression that Austrian people love classical music. Lots of historic (arts / music related) places to visit. You may be right about that that. My dad was not a man of education or erudition, but he would always play classical music and yell at me to listen to it while he was drunk. And also another trait all the Germanic people seem to share is that they are fucking obsessed with the weather. My parents would blame every bad mood and Law and Order re-run on the weather.

I hope you use this time to reflect and really try to focus on your anxiety and fear. Try checking out a few books on cognitive behavioral therapy to help with the hypochondria. Wish you only the best and keep us updated on your experiences! I loved your post in my other thread and I think I remember seeing your picture posted somewhere before and you looked like a matinee idol. But you never spell my ID correctly.

I was actually borderline bulimic during my mid-teens. I'd only eat one apple a day and run five miles and ride a stationary bike for an hour with a trash bag with a hole in it over my body and a sweatshirt over that during the summer. My mom got so scared and angry over that and she grabbed me by my neck while I was standing outside on the phone one day and pushed my head down to the ground and screamed "If you don't start eating, I'll make you eat this fucking grass." | ||

I think I was just thinking of the wrong name then. I'd have to consult my books, but I thought it started with hyper or chronic something. Ah well, thanks for the correction guys. edit: Hypochondriasis! Oh... same thing. Whoops ;D! That's what I was thinking, my bad, big apologies~ | ||

And your family stories are fking hilarious. Cheers to you man. Hope you get well and have a blast in Austria. I hear the girls there are smoking too and cultured. I dno, if not for the hypochondria, it'd sound like heaven to me. It's because Teamliquid always puts me in a better mood. Oh my god, yes, they are very pretty. When I was a kid and we would take our vacations to Germany, I was always blown away by how gorgeous everyone there looked. Even the guys selling apples on the corner looked like they were GQ models. I remember during one visit to Germany, a family friend had a daughter who was visiting from some university in Italy or something and I was a very small kid and I would sit on the floor and pull her sock off a little bit and she'd giggle and bend down and pull it back up and I kept doing it because I could see down her shirt, sort of. | ||

But if you speak german we will of course understand you, but you will have some problems to understand us maybe if we don't speak "real" german. hope that helped a bit | ||

Thanks, man ... I've always admired Switzerland. I wouldn't worry as much if I lived there with your free healthcare and fresh, local food and reliable public transportation. (: (: (: Well now you get to, fancy that (: (: (: Ya really dude I've felt like traveling on trains through the alps 'n shit for a while, and I'd really like to pop over next door and see what's up, would that be down? (I got to Uni in Oct so Sept=k_fine) | ||

Enjoy your trip, just make sure to be proactive about your health. You have had plenty of great advice given to you, but I usually just see that instead of getting help for your condition you just give into getting help for you imagined conditions instead. Not trying to be an ass, just saying please try to deal with the problem so it doesn't keep ruining your quality of life. (And maybe the next post blog post you put up on TL will be more positive lol) Again, Hope you enjoy your trip. | ||

Depends on where you are and who your are talking too. If you are in some rural area talking to people over 30 then it might be hard, but everyone has to learn english at school and in the more touristic areas almost everyone involved with tourists has basic english knowledge. Without knowing where exactly you are going to live we can't tell you much. As for the dialect: As already mentioned, austrian dialects are quite different from standard german (even most german dialects are), but in schools you have to speak "Hochdeutsch" (standard german) so everyone is able to speak and understand clean german (maybe with a slight accent) and it is still the official language of the country. Basically find out where exactly you are gonna live and we'll tell you the details  | ||
