| I hate it! And apparently I can do absolutely nothing about it.. Usually when somebody asks me for a favor, I say 'sure' without even taking a moment in thinking about how much time am I going to waste, etc.. I picked up this reputation at university as being the best programmer out there, great isn... |

| I hate that! Someone says "yeah, I'll call you tonight/tomorrow" or whatever, so I stay home sitting by the phone, literally afraid to go outside (unless I take the phone with me) because they might happen to call during the brief moment I'm out of the room, and then if they miss me once they're no... |

| I' ve been playing the piano since I was 11. I realised that I could play anything I hear by ear and I developed that skill over the years till I reached a level where now I could play anything with varied improvisations when I hear a song only once. In 1998/99 I got into MIDI sequencing and then I ... |

| That's what all the so-called friends are about, false promises. Why do they always say "I'll call you." Yet they never ever do? Maybe I'm making a big deal out of it but sometimes I really sit there waiting for that phone call only to have somebody to talk to for a while, even a few minutes will do... |

| What a brilliant topic. I think of the brain as some sort of network with connections leading to places where information are stored. The more we learn about something, the more connections we have and the easier it is for us to relate to and remember that particular thing. When we want to solve a p... |

Just a little update. Today I'm going alone to the movies as well. I would like to go with a few people but I got nobody to call.
Recently I figured out that the girl working at the ticket counter is in my university, weird isn't it? |

| Today something happenned at the university that really irritated me. There was a new girl I got to know only recently (actually she's the one who introduced herself because I'm not good at initiating conversations or introducing myself to people). Today I saw her and tried to talk to her, and guess... |

| I'm not very good with initiating contact and calling people, but these people aren't doing their part to try and contact me either? That's something that's been really irritating me, why don't people contact me even when I do give an effort to contact them? I've lost contact with nearly all of my ... |

I download a lot of movies, got around 85 or something from the Internet saved on my external HD..
Sometimes I turn off the lights in my room, use my amplifier with a set of powerful speakers and sort of make it look like a cinema enviroment, sad isn't it?  I really enjoy it.. |

| ABSOLUTELY! That is the best way to go. I can go at weird hours of the night and in the middle of the week where I will practically have the theatre to myself, nobody to bug me, nobody to run late over, nobody to beg me to make a snack run, no need to leave early for anyone, and no need to wait for... |

| Just wondering if I'm not the only one who actually does that.. Yesterday I watched The Descent in the cinema, pretty good horror movie :) Something made me feel a bit sad though.. When I went to buy the ticket, the girl at the ticket counter looked kinda surprised and asked, "only one ticket?".. Ye... |

haha that's what I thought too..
Anyways, I've tried a lot to force myself not to avoid eye contact in every conversation, but it just didn't work at all  |
