    That's why I enjoy more epic-scale RTSes ... I have Hearts of Iron 2 installed here somewhere. I like the surplus of options and strategies, though I can't hold my focus to those games long enough to really get the most out of them.

    Also, like most fleshed-out canons and systems, all they do is inspire me to start creating fictional works across all mediums to satisfy my craving instead of playing someone else's game. :P

    The vomiting is classical conditioning Oboro.

    Go get tested. I don't give a damn about your opinion of wanting to live, to be frank. I want you to have the best chance at life, so go get tested because I'm a selfish prick. That's my final word on the matter as well, so don't bother trying to justify your decision not to to me, I'm not listening. I'm being a complete and utter asshole here I know, but I don't care. Get. Fucking. Tested.

    I love rts, but I suck at them so goddam much. I'm slow, I get distracted, I forget to build while attacking, forget to attack while building, forget to do both when being attacked.

    I'm not going to go through the proper channels to find out what body provides the testing at less-than-cost, how to schedule seeing them, and following through on seeing them.

    Too many steps. Too much for Oboro in her current state. Bureaucracy destroys the mentally-ill. I've walked through you guys before how it takes me days to make phone calls and do research of this sort because I need to call dozens of times, creating scripts so that I can respond to people without freaking out and just hanging up, and creating schema that ensure I'll adhere to schedules when they come to pass.

    Add to this the fact that I'd rather not bring it up with my father, the only person who would be able to actually help see the process through to the end? Meh. Fatalistic as it is, the odds are poor and I can't be bothered to even take the first step. Bureaucracy kills me. Impulse or delusions, or delusions and impulses fed by them kill the process at any of its ultra-vulnerable joints and transitions.

    A doctor doesn't call you when you miss your appointment. At least ... not mine. Sometimes they call to ask me to mail a check because I've breached practice policy, but that's it.

    It was really just one girl, walking around with a guy in boxers lying on the bed, while she was showing her bush and tits to all of 114th street, and every street facing window in my dorm. The window was wide open. I don't know if she was oblivious or just exhibitionist.

    Oboro, that's just fucking stupid. You need to get tested immediately.

    I don't care what hoops you need to jump through to make it happen, make it happen ASAP.

    Can you guys drop this? You've made your point, at present, you just make my heels dig in deeper, and drilling on the subject isn't going to change my being cognizant of your stances.

    I have a tendency to follow through on outside advice as I become capable and motivated to do so. Since I'm not always in control of my own capability and motivation, sometimes there is an unfortunate lag-time. This is exacerbated by the fact I live essentially alone, with my health truthfully being a negative to the only immediate human contact (my father, who as I mentioned no more than a week ago refused to drive me to the emergency room and left me to do it myself with one arm and in a debilitating and mind-altering agony). I am otherwise completely alone, and being alone deprives me of a good mirror and impetus-network to motivate change and action.

    Will I get tested? Almost definitely. I can say this with 100% confidence.

    It's not going to happen because you say it though, it's because I'm going to be in a manic phase that gets twisted towards self-improvement and results in me accomplishing a great deal over a few days or weeks without any outside urging. It's a fucking incredibly well-documented cycle at this point.

    You stress both of us by droning on this. Let's drop it. :|

    I run into the same problem. My mind picks apart every suggestion I'm given to tear all the flaws wide open as motivation to not do it.

    You just described how I live my life. It doesn't always happen in time, is the problem I find.

    But you know what I found from living with my gf? If she pressures me, then leaves me alone, it happens sooner.


    http://www.hivtest.org/

    Go here, type zip code. If I knew it I'd do it for you.

    PM me if you want to talk about any scripts or schemas you are making up, I understand how you think and why you need to, I do similar stuff myself. I will help you, but the time differences means there might be several hours in between replies because I'm doing life stuff.

    I am angry at you, and am going to stay angry at you, extremely angry, until I find out you've gone and gotten tested. I don't get angry often, because I don't give a damn about most people.

    And now I leave you alone, at least in terms of posting at you futilely about this from across the globe. ;_;

    Sorry Morninglord. I wont fuck around.

    Nobody is standing in opposition to you Obo, and if you consider them to be then consider also that it is only in the most insubstantial way possible. Whatever imposition we make of you can be shrugged off with less than a thought. However, these people care about you and I'm fairly certain that no matter your level of belligerence or clarity they will not be quashed. I'm sorry this is so uncomfortable and stressful... I wish it could be some other way but I guess some feel that it is their imperative to act.

    You know I hate you, Morninglord, for having your girlfriend and it's pretty much impossible for me to do anything but foam at the mouth when you post anything that incorporates her as an asset of your support network.

    I have no such thing. I have none. I have these forums, for what this is worth. The last time I was involved in a supportive social encounter that did not result in great harm of some kind to me was in March. It does not do my position justice to call it an island. It is an island in the same sense that a planet with conditions favorable to life is an island mired in space, completely and utterly cut off, unapproachable and whose propensity to existence will truthfully never even be accurately known -- just that it is there, and that it is unreachable, and that it is one in a million and so isolated that the guidance of a star arrives years-too-late and with no pertinence or relevance.

    I can go toe-to-toe with Podly such that he assumes and informs people incorrectly that I've studied critical theory and philosophy, I can outmaneuver gun nuts on the subject of military tactics, I can logically dismantle via game theory and statistics an in-progress game of Nomic to the point of correctly naming its conclusion days before it comes, and I can participate informedly in almost any biology, physics, chemistry, or physiology thread that appears, and am a published author who was personally named and received acclamation from the New Jersey state governor

    and yet I am consistently ranked with an assessment of functioning described as "major impairment in several areas, such as work or school, family relations, judgment, thinking, or mood," and only five points removed from "inability to function in all areas."

    I should just stop being intelligent. Maybe then people would give me the help I need instead of assuming I am 24/7 the capable monolith I sometimes come across as. :|
