I give everyone respect unless they give me a reason not to. I just didn't get how his post was supposed to help his image other than perhaps drawing pity.

well
im much the same as in the last one
im 22 years old now though
and im currently studying history
which is alright. not loving it or anything, but I figure I gotta do it anyway.
actually missing working in a daycare for children, god that job was great. unfortunately it doesn't work out with my schedule at university so it was impossible to keep doing it. 
really really really happy at the moment. recently bought an apartment with my brother (which is large enough for 2 people but I pretty much have it for myself 90% of the time because he lives in oslo) and well it's a crazy good deal for me for the next 3 years. in addition I no longer only love myself, and that's also pretty cool
I even know she's a girl this time
he he
apart from that much is the same.
:D

It draws pity?
I dont' care about my image the same way I don't care what people think about me in real life. I told you I'm a stubborn man that believes in one thing and will stand by it.(If I believe I am persistent, I am persistent, regardless of what others believe. If people think I'm intelligent and I don't then I believe so, etc etc. I find trusting yourself more important than the opinions of others in personal situations.) and besides this is simply an internet forum, no one could possibly care about who I am. Bah, enough talking about me, I want to read about other peoples' stories, they are most entertaining 
I purposely chose the name "quietidiot" for a good amount of reasons

Ben, 18, Portland, OR.
Studying graphic design for my last year of high school. Probably going to Pratt or Portland State, not sure if the price difference (about ~$200k vs ~$80k) would be worth it yet. Still living with my parents. No job.
I need to get out of Oregon. :[
BTW - QuietIdiot, what are you doing to get into MIT? While GPA definitley matters, there are many important factors they consider, such as extra curricular activities (sports, plays, jobs), essay, interview, SAT and ethnic background.

Quietidiot is depressed because he cant make meaningful social connections, and he cant make those because he is kind of a shitty person(Hey I am judging via forum posts), especially his attitude towards others people being temporary. He wont last forever either, what binds us all is the human experience... Allow it to connect you to others or have fun being disconnected. It doesnt mean being a shell of a person either, you dont have to be fake or anything.
All his dreaming and setting up for getting into the school he wants to go to(And probably many other things in his life) will only lead to failure as he is pre-thinking too much Even if he manages to get into his school it can only be failure there as he realizes it's nearly the same as every similar school or it fails to meet his expectations in some other way. Wisdom/hindsight corrects a lot of things for people, I think. They wont make the same mistakes in the future. I used to be a little like QuietIdiot and I am far from a success in any way.. But there are people who get things done in life and people who just talk about getting it done, the latter will never finish anything because they are too busy being worried and pondering what they will do to follow up a success. Thats cliche but people like Quiet make it so clear to me. You can only try to fix your mistakes in the future and keep trying your best!

I had my mother die and I was born a social introvert. I also had a sexually/emotionally abusive father, was the kid who got picked on in fights, and I may be autistic.Thanks for calling me a shitty person. Gee I love the way people see me on this forum..
FYI the pre-thinking keeps me sane.
What is your definition of a shitty person anyways? :/
[/QUOTE]
Just someone who is difficult, negative, closed off and wont be real with me. I mean even though you just said that shit on the internet you earned a lot of my respect ok? But just because you have had it bad doesnt mean that other people havent had a rough time either, I wouldnt describe my life as rosey and I doubt a lot of others here would either. Also I ineloquently chose "shitty" to describe what the cues I read from your posts indicates to me, I dont really think that of you. I mean you are just a forum poster to me, quite a question mark really as I dont know you on any real life level..
My friends personally mean a lot to me because I dont have a lot of close family(Just my mom really, no one else period) and the thing I dislike most in people are standoff-ish types who would describe anyone they havent known for their whole life as an "acquaintence." Or dudes who get a girlfriend and dissappear because they only set themselves up their whole lives as needing a relationship for fulfillment. Its fine to make yourself happy and be alone but I dont have the time to be living my life with temporary people coming in and out. Its just important for me to connect with others(I know I keep saying this and sound like Tony Robbins to some of you, haha) and that is one of my priorities along with hopefully creating good art(I write music).

On a side note, I love how people assume past events have no effect on who that person is today. They mean everything. So yes, QuietIdiot's life isn't "perfect" in the eyes of society. Cut him some slack. The events he's had to deal with in his past will and have adversely affected his daily performance. He doesn't appear to want any extra sympathy or respect, but he does seem to want people to understand where he's coming from. I wouldn't call him a shitty person because of how he is--he had no control over that.
Edit: This wasn't a negative comment directed towards anyone in particular. It's an expression of an observation I've made.

I'm a second-year art student, and plan on being a professional artist. I am really happy at the moment, going to just the right college, in a very stable/nice relationship that will probably last a long time, making work that I like, etc. I'm 19, live in chicago. Wish I had more time for SC and that the pgt wiki would come back

Lets stay on topic ^^
My name is Trevor Allen, although if someone said "Mani" on the street I would probably turn my head. I also do a double take everytime I am reading and see the word manifest or manifesto.
After finishing my degree in History I moved to Osaka, Japan, where I have been for just over a year now. In the springtime I got married to my long term girlfriend, and two weeks later she got pregnant. After a difficult beginning things are looking good and healthy.
I work at a high school in Izumisano City, which is where Kansai airport is. I really love my job, and feel fortunate that I was able to teach high school so quickly after getting my degree. I will finish my work here in two more years, after which my wife and I will decide whether to stay in Japan or go back to Canada.
I never thought I would go back to school after graduating, but after working with an American co-worker who has been in Japan for a long time, I started attending Temple University, which has a campus in Osaka. I am pursuing a Masters in TEOSL education (basically english as a second language). I am hoping it will geive me greater flexibility after I finish this current job.
Outside work, I am still hopelessly involved in StarCraft. To me, it is the perfect game, and despite trying numerous others I always come back. I enjoy working on this website and following the proleagues, although I am finding it difficult because there are so many games now. I also am educating myself about being a parent, and am both terrified and excited about that future.

Listening to cute songs. And hoping i can get to know a girl i can get to hold hands and look at ehr eyes and actually talk. Instead of meetting them in a club, chatting 1 minute and making out to never see them again.

my names joe and im 21 from north jersey. ive been a bw junkie for over 8 years now and im still trying to figure out if thats a good thing. friends dont think so=p. I went to montclair state university for 3 semesters where i studied psychology. I had always been smart and did good in school til college, i just didnt give a shit, school seemed irrelevant and i just wanted to have fun. long story short,i had too much fun, partied alot, never showed, got suspended and probably could have appealed for another semester (i had a 1.9, 2.0 is cut) but opted to take off. it ended up being the best thing that could happen to me.
i ended up buyin a nice car to take my mind off shit and started working full time til i was ready to go back/decide wtf i wanan do. i took up a job with my dad at his magazine as a writer. i started to enjoy writing and basically sat down and decide that as much as i like psycology, without going to med school, id most likely get stuck with a shit job since the field is oversaturated. i ended up going back to school at bergen community to save cash, since i had basically pissed away 2 years by taking my major courses first like an asshole and then changing majors. i started to really like writing and got into it. now i work full time, school full time and have mastered the art of balancing life. (work, school and social life). ive got a bunch of money saved up, i started investing a lot in metals, even though i just got shit on this week and im trying to save to buy a house if i can find a semi-resopnsible friend. even if i dont, i save enough and with the collapse thats about to happen with the housing market, ill have one in 1-2 years. that being said, im doing real well in work, finishign stupid two year soon, maybe journalism in the city, who knows. lifes good, woohoo.
good topic, good rant.

Holy shit i hate it when i read stuff about ppl talking about how they dont make it to their "dream" university. Is this really your main priority in life? If its the future that you're worried about you should concentrate on developing and improving every aspect of your life, not just academically, but socially, physically, and psychologically as well. What good is it if you're the A+ student who knows it all but has no friends? Do you think you're good where you are at socially at the moment? College is about the experience, not the x number of credits that you have to get.
To QuietIdiot - your "low" GPA is still an A-, chill there buddy
btw, i was going to reply to quietidiot til i saw this. this post is dead on. a 4.0 means shit if you are socially inept.

Raul Rincon is my name.
I have MALE GENITALS (Read penis ;p)
Things have been going well for me, I recently joined University and I'm studying Graphic Design at the time. I love it, it's awesome, and I'm excited as hell. Things with family are sort of fucked up, becuase these days have been hard, we fight a lot, and my actitude isn't helping, but I try to be better. My gf is fine, today (September 25th) is our 11th Month together as a couple, and I love her a lot.
That's about it :>).

Well here I was thinking about posting some about me but if what Quietidiot posted was bad then what I would post would be absolutely terrible. But LegendaryDreams, just because you seem to think that people are the most important thing in life doesn't mean you're right. Hanging out with those people, all that "friendship", that's what got me into a position where I can lament twice as much as QuietIdiot can. Friendship is really overrated in society, I didn't have friends for years and that was when I was most successful in life.

My name is rob but i like rob!... better, it comes from reading too much P.G. Wodehouse.
I've never really played starcraft more than a handful of games againsnt my mates and have never won a 1v1 on b.net, in fact i've only ever tried once, but i have a laugh with mates and i apprecate the skill involved as i played slightly more WC3 and then found out bw vods are better (i was surprisingly good at liquibet tho, i came not far away from some big names last season, but this season i've not paid much attantion)
i'm 20 and studing Maths at the University of Warwick doing a 4 year course that is the same as a masters. In 2 years when it's over i'm going to apply for a Phd, maybe somewhere in japan cos i spent a month there last summer and loved it
This summer i did a mini project at the uni and went to see my hippie mate in spain, desided the hippee life is not for me

15 yrs old, in high school. Want to play music for a living, maybe move to Finland. I'm in a Happy Metal band called Positron, we sing about Dragonman the hero of Lalaland fighting the evil harpies.
Right now though I'm not in a magic happy wonderful mood like usual. I feel like shit. I hate myself for feeling like shit because I hate people who complain and are depressed, and I especially hate people who go and write about it or try to tell people how they are feeling.
I throw 7 hours of my days down the fucking shitter. Goddamn fucking useless bullshit, OOOOh, Pay Attention! Now, Who can tell me how to figure out how much burnt corn syrup weighs? FUCK YOU!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FUCKING CORN SYRUP! SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASS!! ANd ooh, its very important, get a good education. Don't do what you want, its important that you do what WE want you to do, oh sure we'll pretend you have some influence on what you're going to do later, but really its just all the same bullshit. They try to discourage you. If i say to someone, hey i wanna be in a band when i grow up, they'l go "Oh good idea, but make sure you have a plan B " (you're never gonna make it so get a boring shit office job) School is dragging me down. 2 months ago, july 25th, I started calculating how much I
practise every day. First 2 days i did 5 hours, then because I'm a lazy asshole I started doing less. I said to myself, "oh when school starts il get back in my routine" but i see now that it's even HARDER for me to get back in routine during school year. I have no time at all for just playing around, only practise all my free time. This makes practise feel like a chore. Now right now I should be practising. My total practise time was 65 hours in two months. THAT FUCKING SUCKS. Argh, I don't know what I'm trying to argue anymore, I give up.

I'm Kevin, 27 (ancient on this forum, good grief!) from Singapore. After producing the WCG documentary I washed my hands of actual production and all the late nights and ridiculous hours it entailed (with some regret). Now I'm a development producer in the same company, which means I think up ideas, do research, develop them into concepts and try to sell them to channels. I have a major deadline next Wednesday which is going to kill me. I am thankful to have this job. I never quite knew what I wanted to do upon graduation, but then this came along and it suits me perfectly. My hands shake, my hand eye coordination is really bad and I do not do logical thinking very well. So I enjoy watching Starcraft more than playing it. I give private English tuition part time to kids who are either really smart or really dumb.
And I understand Quietidiot's desire to get into MIT. Sometimes it's not about the goal itself. The mere fact that you can achieve it gives you the confidence to go on with other things. Kind of like... if I can do that, I can do anything.
