Reading Ideas

How about I start something... something where each of us lists three things we don't like about ourself, and the responder decides what the previous poster should work on, and to start, I'll bear my soul:

1. Pr0n!
2. Having a messy home...
3. Procrastinating

Edit: Those without 3 red stars (or at best discretion, in otherwords, no worthless newbies can participate but those showing maturity, please contribute!) or more should and will be ignored . Only one post per member (for the voting on what the person should change, free convo is allowed otherwise)

I should be ashamed of myself.

Well you should stop with the porn since all that is, is the reason you are procrastinating and not kleening your messy home up.....
sry dude I just had to do that... :-P

Peace!

Take a XANAX, calm down..put your feet on planet EARTH and be smart nstead ofthe sucker you might be

So let's hear your three woes that somebody else has the joy to pick from. :D

I should be ashamed of myself.

Interesting idea at that Aynjell...

Mine I suppose could be:

Being...
1) Critical/Judgemental
2) Sneaky
3) A Night Owl

Procrastination is also one, but I'll let you have that one. Sice its a problem of mine, that probably wont go away anytime soon, I wont make you work on that. However, Im a pretty big clean freak in many ways.

In short, work on that messy home of yours there Aynjell. After your done tell me...I'll drive across country to come 'hang out'.

Now are ye undeceived! Welcome, again, my children, to the communion of your race!

Come on, guys, let's try and keep this rolling! This is a good idea and can spark massive conversation. :)

I have decided to do as I proposed: No more pr0n for me.

Scott, Protho, you need to list your three woes, man, otherwise you're breaking the cycle, and we don't want that. :)

I should be ashamed of myself.

Since I forgot to put this in my post I'll do it now...

Hbk, I'm glad you pointed out being judgemental/critical because while it is healthy to view things with a sharp and critical mind being hyper-critical of everyone and everything can be quite counter productive. This I know from experience, though I'm not entirely sure what advise I can give to help you tone it down.

You fail it.

What makes this difficult to do isn't that I don't know what my bad points really are, it is deciding what exactly is my worst. But here we go!

1. Being an asshole. Believe it or not it's true.
2. Stubborness.
3. Hesitating about actively seeking a job/slothfulness.

Well, being an asshole is rather vague but it does incorporate a good deal of some of my "finer" traists as it were. Kudos on this thread aynjell.

I suggest using number 2 to assist you with number 3 :P

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

I'd assume you were talking to rocketman?

I should be ashamed of myself.

Jami actually.

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

A very valid and likely fruitful suggestion. =)

You fail it.

Somebody still needs to reply to rocketman. :)

I should be ashamed of myself.

Sorry Aynjell, I know i'm kinda a noobie but hopefully I'm not worthless. Anyways I'd think the three things I dislike about myself would be:

1) pr0n (somedays I think i'm an addict)
2) Too cynical
3) Too corrupt and jaded

I keep going back and forth about 3. On one hand I know I wouldn't be the person I am today, but on the other I've seen and done lots of things I would never wish on anyone. Anyone else ever feel that way? Ever have anything that you ever wish to unlearn but on the other hand don't want to? I'm not saying I have a hard life but I've had moments in my life that were bad but I enjoy my life for the most part. One complaint I always have those is when people who obviously never has done hard work or really has a pretty cushy life compains about how HARD their life is, they have no idea what hard work is. Well on the other hand I kinda feel bad for them. Anyways, I've gone off on a huge tangent.

Sorry Aynjell, I know i'm kinda a noobie but hopefully I'm not worthless.

As far as I'm concerned it's perfectly fine that you reply, but apparently somebody dislikes the idea. I know you aren't some fucktard clogging the forums... everybody, this is a good freind of mine. Hopefully he'll help revive the tech and "What Sucks" section since he's always bitching about something. * ducks *

I should be ashamed of myself.

Yep, I'm not just some fucktard clogging forms. I'm just the n00bie, be gentle :-D Well maybe not, I'm pretty much a realist and enjoy criticism. So, like I said I can handle being the n00b but I promise i'm not here to ruin anyone's fun or intelligent conversation cause I enjoy both!

Some would say you enjoy fun a lil' too much. :)

I should be ashamed of myself.

Anyways, I've gone off on a huge tangent.

wha-ha-ha-ha! I don't know you dude, but I've probably been one of the Queens of Tangents on this site, so I feel you there...but suffice it to say: "No worries, mate!" ;P

If you are vacillating about number 3, then I would guess it sounds to me as if you are dealing with the fact that people can really irritate the crap out of you. Since this is one of my weakpoints, as well, I am biased when I say, maybe if you work on that, then the cynical thing will work itself out as well.

For myself:

1) 'Scarcity thinking', i.e., being afraid that I don't have enough energy to give to people who drain the crap out of me.

2) Dwelling on stuff so much that I run myself down all by myself -- hence, I have a cold, the flu, and Lord knows what else. See wOlf's poem --> click here...for a laugh or two on that subject.P.S. - if you substitute the word 'hurt' for 'heart' in his poem, then you get it.

3)Eating waaaaaaaaaay too much chocolate.

Basically I am saying that I really freakin' hate the things I do that allow me to get sick so much, and I'd like that to stop. Maybe giving a little more might be a good idea. I guess I am saying that I think I am stingy. So, Aynjell, sorry, I screwed this up. That's a fourth. Oh well. Add explaining things too much. That's a fifth. And playing way too much stinkin' Sudoku with my friends. Writing too much. Talking too much. I'm going to shut up now. :P

If mountain goats like living at high elevations, why do none live in high rise apartment buildings?

Good lord, i dont even know where to start! Actually, reading over that sentence, i'll say...

1. the way i'm not ever happy with anything i do or am.
2. my incredibly unhealthy habits and lifestyle.
4. my lack of counting ability.

-Mel ^_^

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

1. the way i'm not ever happy with anything i do or am.

Is that the truth? surely thats not the case all the time, sometimes, as selfish as it sounds i find that helping others can make me happy and feel better about myself. Like when i bought my kid cousin a footie shirt for his birthday, he was over the moon but it does make you feel good, even being polite and helpful where you can in the smaller ways should cheer you up, thats one thing you can do that you cant be upset over.

2. my incredibly unhealthy habits and lifestyle.

Depends what you habits and lifestyle is, unhealthy habits according to who, whats good foe one is wrong for another, maybe try alternatives, if you cant, change your perspective of your situation.

4. my lack of counting ability.
I got a years worth of reciepts to input to excel before April for mr Taxman, you can do that if you want, for learning purposes :-)

My worst ponts?
1) having low confidence in myself generally which stops me sometimes doing what i want thinking it wont work out or i cant pull it off.

2) Im terrible at finishing things i start, turning the oven off and shuting the fridge door.

3) Im not weak, but my will power is, i like thrills and cant say no to temptations/offers, im easily influenced for a good time which can get me in bad situations.
=]

themoreyouknowthemoreyouknowyoudontknowwhatyouknow

im not weak, but my will power is, i like thrills and cant say no to temptations/offers, im easily influenced for a good time which can get me in bad situations.

You and I, my friend seem to be in the same boat.

My will power is the one that fails me most of the time, and that gets me into a lot of trouble. It doesn't matter whether its friends, relationship or even studying.
Though the big answer to this question which I'm sure you'd know by now ... Is the word NO

Although it doesnt work most of the time for me, you could try :P
Sometimes maybe trusting your insticts over the temptations may work, try not to give in so easily and maybe listen to the nagging feeling at the back of your head. =)

My worst points.

1. I'm lazy... no thats the understatment of the year...

2. I really have to stop considering other peoples feelings and consider mine when the time is right... this usually leads to a helluva lot of problems towards the end... and I end up dealing with them.

3. I need to learn how to be monogamous .... wait... that isnt always a bad thing is it? ;P

Three things huh...let me see, which ones to post for the world to look at and go yeah, uh-huh, and when did you finally get it kind of thing.

Ok.

1. Not getting so pissed off at stupid useless and very pointless activity the kind that other people do and ends up fucking up my life.

2. My lack of making it short and sweet.

3. The seemingly more and more nessesity to be a bitch to get heard.

Who am I to throw stones at anyone and tell them to get their shit together when I'm having so much trouble getting my own together?

It only looks that way because your standing on your head.

I would say work on number one because if it is truely pointless then there in lies the reason for work. I also have no room talking about the other two, do to the fact that I greatly indulge in those.

1.Trying to play ref in my family.

2.never feeling content

3.wondering what it would be like to be with this one person that is not my hubby.

I put it out there and and am ready for the criticism just please do not judge too quickly, I am new here so please do not think bad of me right from the start. Give me a while to hang myself.
