    Yeah, maybe I get a warped sense of what's creepy from hanging out with Patty and her friends too much, but trading pics just doesn't strike me that way.

    I mean, you should see the things these girls do. Like regularly check the facebook of their boyfriend's exes to make sure that none of them have become prettier than they are. That, in itself, is fairly innocuous, but what blows my mind is how self-aware and unashamed they are about it. Like Patty has no qualms about reading all of my OKC messages and telling me in brutal terms whether a girl is too fat or too awkward or something. She also looks up chicks I'm going on dates with on facebook beforehand, which is like way too much for me.

    I just make tiny mistakes in my day to day life, and they snowball and become huge mistakes, and when I realize where I am everything is ruined.

    That is my life so far.

    I am very sure you are exaggerating. You are 20. Nothing is ruined. Nothing is fucked.

    That is my life so far.

    It's crazy because this is the case with me all the time too, and I keep thinking "this is it, this is the point where I can't coast over my mistakes anymore and everything is going to come falling down". Then I somehow miraculously scrape by and keep on going.

    It seems like at some point I'm going to have to meet with retribution for all my failures, but each time I think that point has finally come I just keep rolling.

    Because a credit hour at UT should be more expensive than at ACC because you should be getting a better "product" (THE USE OF THE WORD PRODUCT DOES NOT ENDORSE THE COMMODIFICATION OF EDUCATION) and there is a middle ground between your example and thinking that the current cost structure is appropriate.

    I've touched on this twice already! It's not possible for Freshman Comp 1 to be better enough to justify the premium you pay for taking it at UT. UT agrees with me, because they accept ACC's comp 1 class as a 100% valid substitute.

    Eh, my English 125 (pretty much English 101) class at UM had a lot of ESL kids in it. I doubt they would have seen the same improvement in their writing ability had they gone to a community college.

    That's pretty speculative, but it's sort of beside the point: UM and the community college agree that the coursework is equivalent, but UM charges more for it.

    I have a deep affection and will for you to succeed, Winky, because I think your life via your internal monologue is much more dramatic than it actually is. Each life event as world churning as the Epic of Gilgamesh.

    I just make tiny mistakes in my day to day life, and they snowball and become huge mistakes, and when I realize where I am everything is ruined.

    That is my life so far.

    Here is what I know about life:
    Life is never neat.
    But life is really hard to actually fuck up. Handy checklist when you make a mistake: Is your face scarred? Are you disabled? Wanted for a felony? Do you have a terminal disease or illness? Nope, then you're fine.

    I just wish my mistakes didn't translate into complete inability to sustain myself and/or becoming a normally functioning human.

    Well, since you're sub-20, you won't actually be a human for a few years anyway. So no worries.

    I don't think you even get a soul until you're 21.

    I haven't listened to a sermon by the homeless guy wearing the sandwich board that reads "The End is Nigh" for a while now so I might be off by a year or two.

    Yeah, in my head I blow a lot of things out of proportion. What's funny is that I don't usually ever actually act on these grandiose internal struggles, so for most people outside looking in they'd never know.

    You are all in a unique position in this regard.

    also I was talking with someone about this the other day

    but spectating or watching a replay is so different than playing

    when you're playing you're just like DERP DERP MASH BUTTONS OH GOD

    and when you watch you're like, oh man that guy made a really smart move by turning around to fight, knowing he would have enough hp to survive the encounter
