      Now wait a minute. I like cartoons. I even like DBZ. Stuff blows up constantly, which can be pretty mindless, yet is still cool. Anyway, there's a lot of interesting character development in that show. My point is, screw you people. So there.
(Note: that last part was humor)

      By the by, Riddil, trust yourself. When you were in a better state of mind you were convinced this was the right course of action. Now your logic is cloud by lots of emotions and the confusion caused by having your regular routines destroyed. So, you consider that your mind was functioning better then that it is now. Don't worry, it'll straighten out and you'll think clearly again soon enough.

you're good looking enough to get better and you seem intelligent. if you two aren't compatible then please don't waste your time. it's normal to feel lonely and to miss her but that doesn't mean that she's "the one". just try to learn from the relationship. now you know a few things that you can look for (or run from) with the next girl you date. once you get out there and start dating again, you won't miss her as much. in my experience, if you break up with someone once, you will never be right for each other. i dated one guy for 2 1/2 years and i loved him a lot and he loved me, but there were things about us that weren't compatible, so we kept breaking up and then missing each other and getting back together...what a waste of time. the real end of our relationship came because of the same reasons that caused us to break up the very first time. we were like a fly banging itself against a window. you CAN find someone who you are more compatible with. it might take time, but you owe it to yourself. i read somewhere that marrying the right person determines 90% of whether or not you will be happy in life.

Fine, the men can't have mind candy cartoons. The women, then, are no longer permitted mind candy magazines such as Cosmopolitan and their deep analysis of Fifty Ways to Slim Down for Summer. Your move.

Kitsune · 01-12-2004, 09:16 AM

Thank you, UT.

Next they'll want me to cancel my subscription to Maxim!

I've never even cracked open a Cosmopolitan.

And I like DBZ.

And Two Stupid Dogs.

And Dexter's Lab.

FileNotFound · 01-12-2004, 12:06 PM

The Anamaniacs.

Best cartoon ever. I don't think a kid ever understood half the humor in that shor...let alone Ren & Stimpy.

Riddil · 01-12-2004, 12:13 PM

LOL... Everquest... the sad part is I *have* considered "drowning my sorrows" in an MMO to suck up all the free time I have now. But! I have to resist. 3 years ago I walked away from a 100-hour-a-week MMO addiction, and haven't looked back. The way I see it is that MMO's don't subtract anything from your life, but they keep you from doing *anything* else to actually add to it.

So I think I'll learn to play the guitar instead.

And yeah... it's funny about the whole cartoon thing. I can appreciate a good mind-numbing cartoon every once in a while. But when the person you're attached to actually schedules time out of their day to watch Sponge Bob fricken square pants... and then they feel the need to call you when it's over and explain each and every so-damn-funny scene... you get tired of cartoons pretty quickly. *tears out hair*

Heh.. it's funny... now that you've gotten me back on the chain of thoughts remembering the frustrating things in our relationship, it's all pretty clear again.

Woohoo! Let the emotional rollercoast ride on!! :p

Damn! Are these games really that addictive? I've not touched any MMORPGs, before, but I do fear that I'd get pulled into the trap of "EverCrack".

As for cartoons, I actually hate to admit it, but every so often they are my escape. Work sucks, life gets rough and cartoons make it better either through reminders of carefree years gone by or just through the wonderful mindnumbing they produce.

SpongeBob, however, is not one of these cartoons.

The Anamaniacs. Best cartoon ever.

Amen. They need to bring back shows like that! I'm hugely dissapointed that Sunday morning stuff no longer exists.

vsp · 01-12-2004, 12:48 PM

I have a soft spot for "Freakazoid!", another endlessly-self-referential spoof that you all need to watch.

I still have a Freakazoid sound bite as my Windows startup sound:

DEXTER'S MOM: You spend far too much time with that computer!
DEXTER: It's my life!
DEXTER'S MOM: (deadpan) That's so very, very sad.

FileNotFound · 01-12-2004, 02:31 PM

Kitsune, want to find out?

I can hook you up...the first one's always free

With me and the gang, we'll have you hitting 80 a week in no time.

We'll powerlevel you to 65 in 2 weeks and we'll have you in the planes in 3 weeks. In a month you won't remember the phone number of your RL friends but you'll know all your class AAs and planar raid tactics. In three months you'll dream about EQ. By 6 months RL won't seem 'real' anymore - it will become that time between EQ sessions. In a year you will burn out and quit. When you will look back you'll have no idea how any of that happened.
