h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

argh!
sorry, forum got lost in the depths of time and space and MP50758! I'll reply soon when i have more time; promise!

It's OK I eagerly await

Heya! I'm really sorry again. I don't know what happened there, it must have been another of those times when I thought I had posted but I actually hadn't. I hate those.

I don't know if I can trust anything you say now.
I haven't bought anything wild lately. *thinks* Nope, I actually haven't. Apart from my new monitor - the old one broke, ok?! (That's not why I haven't replied though)

I know, I've had that. But I was just saying that the no-regretty thing is what I have, as a result of just doing stuff, regardless of whether I'm 100% sure I should or not. Might as well, only live once!
I find that not thinking through helps more. It's better to do stuff and be able to learn from it or benefit from it than not do it at all and just wonder afterwards what the outcome would have been.

Well... Sometimes I regret the self-injury. I regret the scars. I regret the fact that I ever let myself get so low. But I've really just learned to live with it; it's just another thing that builds me up to who I am now.
Does that make sense?

So what if you've been whinging? I don't care if you have (I don't think you have). I prefer to listen to other people's concerns than to talk about mine anyway, I feel more purposeful if I can help them, or try to anyway.

Something I was talking to my psychologist about - why do people beat themselves up when they are upset? People hate themselves, abuse drugs, alcohol, other people or in some cases (like mine) themselves, consider suicide, over-eat, under-eat... So many things. Why don't animals do it?
She said (something along the lines of), it's because we are more intelligent.
Our brains are bigger, thus we have the mental capacity for so much more; good stuff like love, and bad stuff like hate. More intelligent people tend to be sadder inside, from what I've seen anyway. Children know very little and are totally hedonistic, they don't feel responsibility, they don't need to care about anything but themselves. They're so much happier.
So, yeah. I don't know where I'm going with this. If you're sad, you're clever. mh.

I got up at 2.15pm today. Baaad.
Early night for me tonight I think.

I hate it when you actually do write the message, but something happens to it, and it takes a bit of rejuvenation to go and write it again. It happened a couple of times when I was posting to Njan, which sometimes took me ages to post.

You are right not to trust a thing I say It's probably because I don't which causes me to think too hard about my actions.

I'm trying to horde money to replace my old graphics calculator, but it always seems to disappear somewhere, because other things seem to require my money also.

Just because I only live once probably shouldn't mean I've gotto make myself the happiest I can be. And I won't actually care afterwards if there's no afterlife

Makes absolutely perfect sense

I prefer to both hear the concerns of other and speak mine, but generally I can't seem to work out how to put what I'm thinking very precisely. (could be one of the reasons I don't do very well in englishy-type subjects.)

Yep, there's a quote from the bible somewhere "He who increases intelligence increases sorrow" - or maybe it was knowledge or something, probably knowledge. It was in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.
Those animals seem not to be concerned about not knowing their purpose in life. As long as they survive it's fine
Yeah, there are happier people who don't seem to give much thought to things like the environment they're in -.... whatever I reckon.

2:15's good - I wish I had that sort of freedom.

Thank you

What *is* a graphics calculator? I've heard of them, but what are they exactly?

Well... I guess that's up to you and what you believe in, but I think really you might as well spend your time happy than sad. Even if you're not "the happiest you can be", having a smile on your face is better than a frown, and I'm sure you agree...

Actually, I'm getting quite good at putting my thoughts and feelings into words. Probably because I'm getting a lot of practice... *sniggers*

I found your quote. It's Ecclesiastes 1:18. I found it on this site... That said, in this order:
" ... The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge ... " Proverbs 1:7
"With much wisdom is much grief, and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow." Ecclesiastes 1:18
I thought that was a bit dumb.

Sorry this was a little short.. I'm not feeling too good or inspired at the moment. I've just turned down going to my friend's party today because I have a swollen arm due to a bad reaction to my tetanus/diphtheria/polio boosters. I spent all of yesterday in bed.

Thank /you/

PS we got loads of new fish for our tank. Now we have 22 fish. They're all beautiful... I'm going to take some photos of them at some point and put them up online somewhere.

erm yep I'm on here again.

A graphics calculator can draw graphs, amongst other things, and they cost a bit.

I surpose I can only agree- being a human, I automatically want happiness. If I didn't, I wouldn't do all the things I do automatically.
I dunno if I just said anything good.

yes, dumb, just like me.

You think YOURS was short!!

I got fish -goldfish, and teripins
did you name them?

Hiya Ed, how are you? Are you okay? your last message didn't seem to portray the idea that you are. *worries*

Yes, I've named a few of my fish (we have 28 now)... John, Paul, Ringo, George and Yoko... as well as Purple and Red.

*is quite concerned* Are you alright??




- Lisa.

Don't worry about worrying.

That was a very big, unhealthy dose of depression I had on that day, but actually I think it was after the thread was posted.
I hope you didn't worry too much

Happiness is too shod

Isn't it great? I've done nothing interesting as of late
