Just watched Safety Not Guaranteed. Best film I've seen in a long time.

Unfortunately, this movie was one of those occasional films that are so good, they make me feel sad when they end.
Feeling rather melancholy right now. Going to have to buy it on DVD at some point in the future.

Relatively minor sad-

I watched Frozen (good movie) and it got me thinking what I would do if I had those kinds of magic (not "fireball and lightning" magic, more like earth or air bending in avatar). I spent a few hours thinking how awesome it would be and then I remembered magic doesn't exist D:

This happens to me way too much. Over the summer, I was lonely (friends wouldn't invite me and they'd rather die than come over) so, I started reading OOTS. I loved it. I was a few hundred pages in, laughing at the parties' escapades, when a sad thought came upon me. "C, don't forget. They don't exist. They are not your friends." I seriously almost cried.

That is the reason I play games and use the internet so much. To me, it's like if one day this guy came to me and said, " Hey, you there. You look lonely and bored. What if I gave you a world where you are not alone? Where you have power? Where everything is not your fault and people will listen to and respect you? Where your opinion exists? Where you can cast magic and build spaceships, study the behavior of animals or take over a city? Where you actually have hopes and you can get real friends that will not backstab you the moment you turn around? Where you can meet people with similar interests, have friendly debates, get help and constructive criticism?

Of course, according to everyone else, I am addicted and it's making me anti-social and irresponsible and all that good stuff.

Such worlds of fiction and fantasy may not be real, but do not doubt the merit in them. Know that there is someone else out there who dreamt up the very same material you're reading, envisioned the characters you've become some delighted with. The characters may not be real, but the mind behind them is.

Now, what if you could extend that very same hand of entertainment, intrigue, plot, personality, to others? What if you could be the mind behind the next OOTS? You've an active imagination, my friend. Don't ever downplay it, it's the stuff of humanity. Put it to words. Write.

I think anyone would find it difficult to criticize one who could put imagination to word and invoke it in others.


This. No one else can determine whether you are living a worthy, fulfilling life. That is entirely up to you. Does it make you happy to enjoy flights of fantasy? If yes, then that is all that matters (although ensuring you can support your habit of fantasy is very important too. Don't become homeless because of video games plz, and I won't become homeless cuz of drugs. Deal? Deal.) It's not hurting others for you to enjoy yourself, and it might actually help improve your relations with other people, especially if you use it as inspiration.

Because asking a girl out is sooooo much easier when you think, "What would Tony Stark do right now?"

If you're worried about reactions, that's what aliases and anonymity is for. You'd be in good company.

hello everyone, im posting here not because i have something sad to tell, but because i find it strange that despite there being a sad thread with 4.6k replies on the first page of this section. There is no such thread for happy things that happened? Why isnt there a thread called "Things that made you smile today?". I think this is sad...    oh wait lol hahaha

I wonder if the Touhou fans are going to embrace this, or come to your house and do unspeakable things.

The Happy Thread is easily identifiable regardless of title by being the single largest thread on the entire forum.

On second thought, this probably needs to be sigged.
