Strange. Interesting.

Wow I just played the second game. It asks for your name and birthday (not year, just month and day) and then shows you names and dates. When you click on them a face appears. The faces that appear for your name and birthday are smiling! "This creates associations between yourself and acceptace."

Eeep. It's an interesting idea, and I'll try it a few times more, but it's a little biased against those of us with poor coordination/reflexes.
Whatever I was doing to enhance my self esteem has to be marked off against the frustration of trying to move a cursor, with precision, at speed.


You don't have anything for existential despair, do you?

A strong suspicion, hardening to conviction, that whatever the relative values of myself against others, the whole business of existence is empty, futile and without meaning.

ok no one, i mean no on ever anywhere says eeeep. anymore
and wtf are you talking about?

I say eep. And eek. There's nothing wrong with them. And it's not as if I'm anywhere near old - I'm 17 ...

ok i get it, your english you dont see the quirkiness of it.

eeeeek do you say this when you see a mouse?

Eeeep, (and Meep) are, I admit, an affectation I sometimes use, but their derivation is obscure to most. They denote a degree of curiousity and confusion. (Neil Gaiman's Sandman, anyone?)

Existential despair is something very real but also rare.
If you've never met it you are lucky, and you should let it lie at that.
It's not something anyone is better for discovering.
And that is not a joke or a put-down.

I liked that Chi chia pet game.

Oh the irony, the irony, that in typing that, you typed that.



Hardly.

Talk about random prophecy when you are trying to think self-esteem through!

This couldn't be any more fitting!

This isn't meant for aspies. On two of the games you have to quickly choose the "happy" face, and I have to stare at them for a while to figure out whether they're smiling or not. But they're still really cool.

Could this all just be common sense?

Who you calling you fools? I haven't tried it yet but it sounds good from what I've been hearing it sounds good.

what are you mr T now.......?
arrrrr pity dafooooooooooweeel.........

Those faces are posed.... now I'm going to associate fake smiles with my name and birthday...


Eeep.
