Pour Your Heart Out VIII

[RedAnarchist]

As the last one went well past 500 posts, I've started a new one.

[Smyg]

New thread starts always make me sad. :(

[xub3rn00dlex]

RA is cold-hearted i tell you!

I'm getting sick and tired of my fucking anxiety around women i'm attracted to. I really don't get how guys don't get anxious. I'm also tired of those fuckig jocks who think they're all fucking that ruining it for nicer guys like me.

I've gotten past that lately by just shutting off my brain. I stop thinking about how I'm so nervous and what I should say. I just blurt things out and hope that it doesn't sound too stupid. I gotta say it's been working pretty good :thumbup1:

See i can't turn my brain off, i worry too much about blurting shit out. I over calculate things and always worry about having misread signs :( guess i'll be forever alone lmao. I fare much better at parties though, since i'm usually drinking like a sponge! Luckily so are all the ladies tough, so they won't realize how much of a loser i am haha! Been a while since my last party though cause of tests and finals and shit.

That was my problem (and still is sometimes) as well. Just work on it. When I found myself thinking I would quickly say something. It's sort of scary to do but it gets you to stop thinking cuz you have to keep talking lol

I've also said fuck it to playing games. Now I just go "Hey, I like you. Do you like me?" Saves a fuck ton of time.

[thriller]

I've found, for me, the best thing to do is to not give a fuck, and hope that everyone around me thinks I'm way too weird to converse with. That way, when I am freaking people out, I'm expecting it, and then when I'm not, it's a nice surprise. Just try to put "Fuck the Kids" by NoFX on repeat in your head :D

[Salyut]

In addition to what I posted before the thread locked:

I got a hug from that girl. :thumbup1: ...and now I feel really fucking skeezy because she's in a long term thing with some long haired brony. fml

Plus it might just be possible to get hormones without the whole doctor thing. I haven't had a single doctor or therapist take me seriously once I bring up the subject. :( The kicker is, I think it might be the only way out of my current situation...some days I just want to gnaw my arm off. I know I haven't been posting much, this is because I've been thrown into depression by this fucking bullshit. Its so hard to focus on writing papers and stuff - I'm finding I can't help but break down almost every day...and this is with the drugs.

Fuck. :(

I'm pretty sure my roommate offered to suck my dick last time we hung out (haven't moved in yet). I expect his wife to make an offer in the future at some point. Remember when I posted that bit about my life getting odd? Yeah.

Oh. This all came about from bringing up Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South in a history class for lulz. Dead serious.

What

[Apoi_Viitor]

I'm taking a break from college after this semester... I really don't want to have to go back, but job prospects without a college degree are abysmal.

[Salyut]

What

Yep.

[NewLeft]

lol There's no class divisions in my school?? How!? There's seriously no jock class, everyone is on their own.

[X5N]

I haven't seen her -- see here (http://www.revleft.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2281944&postcount=354) -- in weeks. My fear is that she saw me sitting by where she usually gets off the bus, and got creeped out and left school or changed her schedule somehow. However, it's more likely that she left for some other reason -- going back to Sweden for the holidays, for example. Though, it's the end of the semester, so I don't know...

I haven't spoken to her since I gave her the letter, in March or April or May -- I can't remember.

Lately I've been feeling quite distraught over her. A few days ago, I even felt as if I was going to cry. I feel some kind of stupid attraction to her, however I rationally have no interest in a relationship, or even being friends or anything. It's not because of her -- she seems nice, from what I know -- but rather, because I find the idea of being in a relationship highly unappealing, and in the case of being friends with her, I just don't see much reason for it.

I'm considering writing her a longer letter, that explains exactly how I feel about her. I would give it to one of the art teachers -- she's an art student -- who can hopefully deliver it to her somehow. I would do this before I go to Seattle.

I don't have any delusion that this will accomplish anything. I'm not even sure why the fuck I'm doing this. If anything, she'll ignore the part where I ask her not to contact me just to be nice -- I asked this in the first letter, which she ignored, hence the email -- and give me another talking-to, with nothing about her perception of me changing in a positive manner.

But, she might not even be here next semester -- she could have finished her stuff at the college. She's been here at least three, maybe four years, after all. :crying:

Okay this is going to sound like bullshit... but It's not, I promise, lol.

Try and practice a ideology I've been perfecting over the past 5 years or so. I call it, 'Not giving a fuck', I'm serious, stay with me here. Or in other words, practicing the ability to turn off your emotions. Seriously, It takes time and practice but it is possible!

Try approaching small situations that make you anxious and before getting into them, address your feelings and your anxiety and make a conscience effort to not give a fuck. Go through some quick mental excercises right before an anxious moment - "I don't care what happens, no matter what, doesn't matter, who cares." - "How does this small moment in time mean anything in the long run? It doesn't, I don't need to worry about it." - etc. Repeat these in your head along with anything else you can come up with. Also, when participating in the anxious moment or action make a continuous, conscience effort to not give a fuck, fight your anxiety and send it running. At first it will be hard but with practice it will get easier until you can literally walk into a situation and decide to not give a fuck and it will be as easy as that.

It may also help to repeat it your head - "I am fucking amazing." lol

Basically, constantly exposing yourself to small things that make you anxious and slowly working you way up to larger things that make you uncomfortable will make you a less anxious person overall. This really does work if you put effort into it.

You are so very welcome! :rolleyes:

So,for those of you who were paying attention to my drama (probably a mistake in hindsight,eh?) you will be well acquainted with how I was suspended from another forum for three weeks.Well,guess the fuck what? The motherfuckers increased it to three months!....needless to say I am more furious than I have ever been: I honestly am so mad I don't even know how to express it.I am so close to sending a angry response to the traitors there I can almost taste it.

Again,words fail me in describing my fury.:mad::cursing::mad::cursing::mad::cursing:

[socialistjustin]

I just got a new phone and the fucking videos keep pausing every 10-20 seconds. Unbelievable. A big part of the phone experience is watching videos and I cant watch videos.

How do I solve this?

How do I solve this?

Step 1: Repeatedly strike on hard surface

Step 2: Curse at and wonder why it is still not working

Step 3: Repeatedly strike harder and with more cursing

Step 4: Repeat step 2

Step 5: Throw across room

Step 6: Realize you broke the screen and repeat step 2 again

Step 7: Go back into store and try to get your warrenty back by saying it isn't working for some reason.

It has less to do with the forum and more to do with the actions of my former friends.Otherwise I do not think I would care as much;I've been on other forums and had things happen but this is the first time where I was screwed over so thoroughly without any real reason.

What happened? I hate college too... I remember getting a GED in highschool... why the fuck do I need to spend 3 years getting a GED in college?!

As for the advice of not giving a fuck, I'm really good at that in every situation and application except talking to women. It's highly fucking annoying because my buddies always tell me they wish they could have more of a laid back attitude like me, instead of stressing over all the little shit they go through. I think I'm just gonna knock off some jameson and go to class, maybe I'll make an ass of myself, but a cute one? :laugh:

The videos, are they from the net? Like youtube? If so they're probably buffering that's why.

[socialistjustin]

I am not playing vids right now so not sure why it would affect high privilege mode?

No idea, never ran an anti-vir on my phone. But slow service + youtube = buffering every 15 fucking seconds.

Shouldn't that fist be more timid and caring?

[Le Socialiste]

On another note, I'm actually getting excited for Spring semester next year. I'll be at the school I've wanted to attend for years now, taking classes I want to take (since I've gotten all my general education work out of the way). Nevermind the fact I'll be living in a constant state of debt...:cool:

[Erratus]

So I haven't been around lately. Got a lot of good information here, but I've been wanting to distance myself from actual people while I read some books (Marx, Lenin, Luxemburg, and probably some Adam Smith to balance things out) so that I can think things out on my own. But I had a lovely dialogue yesterday and I really need to let the frustrations out. I live in Arizona (US state that boarders Mexico for anyone non-Americans who do not know). We get a lot of immigrants from Mexico. From a very young age I was always highly sympathetic to them. They want a better life and to feed their families. Hardly criminal if you ask me. Sometimes I think I am the only white person in this state that feels this way (so strongly anyway).

So, yesterday I got into a fun discussion on this topic. Some people were talking about how they hate all the Mexicans and how they are nothing but a drain on the government and they raped her and killed him. I really should have let it go, but I had to butt in. And of course, seeing that I am white and that I do not share their hatred for Mexicans, the only logical conclusion was that I came from and upper class family and had never had to deal with them. Which is completely off. This went on for maybe an hour. A large portion of it was me trying to prove that yes, I was raised in Arizona, with daily contact with them, and have never found anything wrong with Mexicans. It was inconceivable for them.

Looking back I think I see their problem. When they said Mexican, they were thinking gangsters. And at one point they even said that if a Mexican (or anyone too dark for them, they don't really care what your official nationality is) isn't in a gang it is because the white culture had manged to subdue their natural behavior (it was around this point that I realized just what a lost cause this was). And I was lucky enough to never have any gang issues, coming from a small town. All the Mexicans that I grew up around were hard workers (as with most everyone else in my town). Just wanted to rant a little bit around it. A day later and it is still bugging me.

Wait.... wait.... wait.... you get your eye brows done?! You mean you go to a place and literally get them done...? Or do you do them yourself?

Choose you next words carefully, Ubernoodle. They may be your last as a man.

Yes... I shall treat you as a douche from now on. Don't worry I've dated a few so I understand your dispositions... I'll go easy... douche... :laugh:

Yeah I do, either a place or get my sister to do them for me, what's so wrong about that? I get my legs done and everything, full package. I know guys who tend to look similar to me are complete dicks, so perhaps I got a strike against me lol just based on looks.

Nothing is wrong with any of that, I just like finding ways to mess with you... duh.

It's okay to look like a jock or whatever you call them, just don't act like one... but again, I just like to mess with you so... yeah....

Oh, did you get my '300' reference?! I was proud of it... :)

Oh I guess we are getting in chatter aren't we... I guess... I guess I'll stop now... :crying:

WAIT! I have something relevant to say in Pull your heart out! I'm sad chatter is gone...

Someone say something comforting or I will surely off myself... :p

See? I checked out your signature, because I recently found out my best friend from HS is gay - but I never would've guessed it. You got your shit together man, and you're clearly organized and heading in a positive direction, contributing, and teaching. You don't need to be flipping out over another forum since its existence is meaningless to your bigger picture, although I would see why you would ( it would suck pretty bad if I got knocked off here :(. ) Just look forward man, maybe you all need time to cool off, give it space. Maybe they'll come around, and ya'll will work on moving ahead together. Or maybe they won't, but that's tough shit for them and their loss as I said.

RA is cold-hearted i tell you!

I'm getting sick and tired of my fucking anxiety around women i'm attracted to. I really don't get how guys don't get anxious. I'm also tired of those fuckig jocks who think they're all fucking that ruining it for nicer guys like me.

Just treat it like it's nothing. I stopped giving a shit about whether I actually have a girlfriend or not a while ago, life pretty much rules.

I guess you figured it out already but just going ahead and talking to them about whatever is the best thing you can do, don't be really anxious about sounding stupid but at the same time don't just say stupid and unfunny crap to make conversation. Don't seem desperate or drawn in, and I'm sure things will be better for you. :)

[thriller]

I have just given up on math. I do two hours of homework and study for 3 hours before an exam and get a 70% And it's intermediate algebra too! WTF? I will spend like only an hour on an exam for human anatomy and physiology and get a 90%, even though I feel much more confused on A&P than math. Fuck this shit. I really don't want to take an incomplete for math this semester, but I may not have a choice. I feel dumb. :blushing:

[Die Rote Fahne]

I have two presentations I am giving with other people, (to an audience of 4-5 people) and I got through the first one pretty good. I HATE public speaking, but I didn't find it too bad, and I'm kind of excited to get the other one done.

I think if I practised more, and discussed a topic I love, such as politics, I'd do much better and be able to go on without sticking to cue cards.

My semester is almost done. I have two assignments, 3 exams and I'm out until January. AND it's Christmas soon! HUZZAH FOR HOLIDAYS!

Life is good right now :)

i give up on relationships or putting my heart out there for someone who doesn't care. Not much else one can do, no? With the stresses of work and school (totally bombing my math) This girl took my mind off all the other stresses in life. When i saw her i'd feel like my heart dropped into the bottom of my stomach. Here i was, a 25 year old feeling like i was in highschool all over again, i'd feel all giddy and just fell hard. I felt like this girl was different than every other girl not the type to do mind games. or wtf everrr. Guess i'm an idiot for thinking i could have something real with a 19yr old girl. I'm stupid for doing every stupid nice thing i ever did for her! hopes she forgets that stupid lil note i wrote her when she was having a shitty day, and forgets that stupid song i ever wrote her and ughhh. It's alright loliness is what i'm use to hahaha. Give me a king cobra and i'll be alright i'll get through it..

I just got a new phone and the fucking videos keep pausing every 10-20 seconds. Unbelievable. A big part of the phone experience is watching videos and I cant watch videos.

No, student seizure of the means of education time. Fuck this shit bro. Dismantle and make an example of the board of members. Destroy this fucking elitist shit, where a handful of jerk-offs who aren't students decide what the fuck we go through.

So I am definitely into that girl guys, she's hard to figure out... different. I just don't want to be the fucking idiot who falls for her to realize she didn't do the same. Can't I just have one fucking happy day for christ's sake?

[Leftsolidarity]

I'm finding pictures on random peoples' facebooks that I don't even know of me from summer. I'm honestly like kind of crying right now because of how much I miss summer and all the friends and hazy memories from it haha pathetic i know

I went to this random ladies facebook and in her pictures there are a ton of me and my best buddy (whom I spent most of my summer crashing on his couch) drunk as shit smokin bongs and partying it up. I barely even remember this night haha what I do remember though is that what we were smoking must have been laced with something because that high was NOT right. I took a 2 hour shit that night. I literally was shitting for 2 hours straight, no fucking joke.

Gahh trip down memory lane :lol:

Sorry I sorta had to get that out there cuz my feelings about finding these pictures are probably way more intense than they should be. I can't wait to make more memories this summer then promptly erase them from my head through copious amounts of substances :)

I get my once a year pay check from the fire department on Saturday and I can't wait to see how much I get.I am not expecting a lot (maybe two hundred or so if even that) but I am excited to see how I can divvy it up and buy presents for my friends and pseudo-partners.I can't wait to buy Justin something nice and give it to him for Christmas.

Well,it is hard to really plan when you don't know how much you are getting, but I have a book in mind.He is a fan of the anime series Death Note and I remember seeing in Barnes&Nobles a great Death Note novel which was quite furnished (very shiny cover,diversity in colors and the like) so I think that would make a nice gift.I think it was around twenty dollars so I am sure I will be able to afford it (at least here's hoping!).

On the downside, I found out that I completely botched up my stats project. My stats teacher is an unhelpful, condescending piece of shit who cannot explain anything and wouldn't clarify anything about the project because apparently people in Elementary Statistics are too above him. I was getting a 98% in that class, but the project is a pretty significant part of my grade and I calculated that it would go down to ~93% if I get a complete 0% (which is a pretty big possibility because I COMPLETELY fucked it up), meaning I would literally have to get a perfect grade on my upcoming test + Final Exam. FUCK. And if I don't get an A in this class my parents will kill me. :(

I'm so happy I could fondle my balls. (which I shall do once I'm done typing this)

So I hung out with the girl that I think I've mentioned in previous posts. I realllllllllyyyyyyy like this girl and she likes me too. Unfortunately she just started dating some asshole last week but she says she's probably breaking it off with him. Fuck that dude anyways.

Back to tonight, we went to her house and were watching a scary movie in the basement with like 20 blankets and a mattress. We were super close the whole time and she kept rubbing our noses together and like tickling me and stuff. I was doing that kind of stuff back and reallllllyyyy wanted to just kiss her but I didn't know how she would react because she has a bf.

After a few hours she was getting even more flirty and whatnot and knew I wanted to kiss her. Our faces were super close and she looked at me and said (not in a condesending way btw) "You can kiss me don't worry". I said "FUCK YEAH!" and we promptly starting making out like horny teenagers for hours while listening to modest mouse. Fuckin' tits am I one happy camper. She kept telling me how she likes me a lot and is trying to figure what she's doing about her guy problems.

I really like this girl. She likes me. She has a bf for only about a week. She is making out with me.

Advice? How do I handle this situation and how do I end up dating her?

I would tell her to get rid of the other guy so she can get more serious with you. Plus, you never know. This other guy could be jealous, which may lead to jealous violence, etc. Just be cautious.

Also keep in mind that if she's making out with you when she has a boyfriend, who's to say she wouldn't do the same behind your back?

So I'd tell her you like her and you wanna spend more time with her, etc. etc... but make it a point that she should get rid of the other guy. Because if she doesn't, shit could get ugly not to mention if she doesn't want to get rid of the other guy you may have yourself a bit of a "loose girl" (no offensive language meant; I only say this b/c last time I was given an infraction for saying slut, :p) on your hands... But maybe you don't mind? :p Either that or a girl who becomes interested in guy after guy very regularly. How well do you know her?

Also noticed a pattern: when I use to get depressed, I would never eat. Noticed the last week or two I've been munching pretty hard, so I'm going to try and push myself into my apartment's gym soon.

WARNING! HIGH SCHOOL RANTING AHEAD.. I hate doing group projects with people who have strong opinions on the topic. Of course I had to choose to work with people who have lofty ideals.. Our topic is hunger and obesity, and one of the people in my group is a huge idealist who fetishizes over community gardens and organic food. Hugely resistant to any changes to the project.. I mean I wouldn't care if it was marked individually, but this is a group project and it's marked as a group. You can't just bullshit about how wonderful community gardens and organic food are, because they aren't! It's worth 20% of our mark and yes it does make a difference because it's the difference between getting into the program that I want to get into with a cut off of 90% and not..

Update on me "dealing with" that bully.

I actually didn't have to do anything. My buddy and I were going to "confront" him Monday morning and give him a stern "talking too" in front of everyone.

Apparently word must have reached him though that the 2 scariest and craziest looking fuckers in school were coming for him so today he went up to my friend that he was bullying and sincerely apologized! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :laugh:

I'm quite disappointed that I didn't get to have my fun with him but I find that pretty fucking halarious anyways.

Thing is now though, if his apology was bullshit and it starts again then there's no "Lets wait til Monday..."

[rylasasin]

I'm getting sick and tired of my fucking anxiety around women i'm attracted to. I really don't get how guys don't get anxious. I'm also tired of those fuckig jocks who think they're all fucking that ruining it for nicer guys like me.

I never really pursued women during my high school days. (And no, don't say that makes me gay. I'm quite straight I assure you, I just never paid much attention to it. Then again being a jack-chick kool-aid drinking fundie retard back then and seeing any sexual interaction as evil didn't help either. I got better afterwords though.) so I can't say I ever really had this problem. And when I did take an interest I never really did anything, just watched them from a distance. Though I will admit I've felt lonely at times soon after words.

turned to online dating, didn't go so well. Once I fell for some scam. And that for me was the end of my dating life, because after that point I pretty much shut out any feelings of want for women, gave up on any hope of ever finding love and just stuck to hentai.

Yeah, I'm pretty pathetic. But hey, that's life.

Oh, that sounds good. :cool:

Still, I oftentimes find I have to include such things just so people don't get any.... misunderstandings. :rolleyes:

Because otherwise I always have someone asking me that whenever I mention my past/current lack of interest in pursuing a lovelife. Even if they aren't meaning to be homophic or hurtful. IE, "Hmmm you didn't/don't pursue girls? maybe your gay?" Obviously they're not trying to imply homophobia here, but rather it's a misguided attempt to be helpful. Annoying nonetheless.

Glad to see this isn't the case here, though. :lol:

Uh, what's wrong with weed? :mellow:

Is that really the reason? Does she just hate people that smoke and doesn't want you to interact with her? Maybe there's another reason, maybe not, but that seems like an overreaction to me. I sense other motivations... hmmm

I think your friend is over-reacting.

I think so too. I mean I have been pretty hypocritical in the decisions I've made, so I am at fault too. But no, I don't smoke, and I've said that. And it should be fucking irrelevant anyway because there wasn't this kind of backlash when I said I was going to be on steroids.

I don't smoke lol. Not saying I wouldn't down the line, but I have to do a ton of research as to how it will affect me next year with all the shit I'm going to be on. I took a nap and woke up to a wall of text from her in my message inbox, saying that we're no longer best friends and what the fuck was she thinking etc...

What the fuck man... I've avoided feelings for other girls who did smoke, drink, party hardy since she's done the same. But I can't fucking help it, I like this girl... a lot. She's spontaneous and I think there's a soft side to her somewhere once she opens up... she spent the whole time with me today making me laugh uncontrollably just being random... The fuck...

This is kind of an open relationship though because she "technically" already has a boyfriend but doesn't like him that much and says she likes me much more and likes me to a point that she thinks is creepy for only knowing me for a bit. We do the bf/gf things like running errands, cuddling, meeting the family, etc.

I don't know, I just hung out with her all day today again so I'm in an awesome mood.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

I MISSED YOU ALL SO FUCKING MUCH!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

We need facebook.


On top of being happy that I get to talk to my internet friends again, I kind of have a girlfriend now. :D:thumbup1: ....I too have a new partner and I am stocked! Great to hear man!



Leftsolidarity is content with life :thumbup1:I too am content... or at least I will be until the new moon and I transform into the Wereproletariart!


ps. I started working at a grocery store. Fuck that shit. Seriously. Fuck that. Don't ever work at one.I will keep that in mind, thanks for the heads up.

While we are recommending places not to work I will say this: fuck bottle redemption places! They are cramped,monotonous and filled with smokers (at least mine was).Not to mention you get paid crap.

[Chambered Word]

missed you lot too. well life's getting pretty fucking boring, can't find a job so I'm gonna have to work at the shittiest Maccas in the northern suburbs here with a friend of mine. I'll be pissed off to no end if those bastards don't give me plenty of hours, including the ones my friend does. they sound desperate for employment but whatever.

at least barre chords on my awful high-action acoustic are getting a lot easier, but I really hate having no motivation, nothing interesting to do and being almost unable to get up and go to bed early. life is getting seriously uncool. :mad:

oh well.

Awww, young love at it's finest :o lol. But I am truly happy for you... I wish I had an awesome little relationship, massively jealous over here!

I think you should seal the deal and get rid of her so called "other Boyfriend", that's no good...

Don't worry, I don't plan on doing a day of decent labor in my entire life. So no worries, lol.

Very happy to see you all again, life has been weird with a mixture of bad and good.

My cousin was in a gang but he realized, while in his late 20's, that that shit was going nowhere for him. So he quit that stuff and for the first time in his life got a job as a janitor. I was really happy for him, we went out drinking and having a good ass time celebrating. He had been working for a few weeks, not even a full month, when he was walking home from work and was confronted by a person who would have been a rival gang member if he still gang banged. So the guy came up to him walking home from work at night and asked him "You bang Norte fool". My cousin told him he wasn't into that stuff. The guy said he was a liar, that he knows he was in the gang, pulled a gun and shot my cousin four times. Meanwhile I'm with some other cousins just starting to drink some Crown Royal when I get a text from my sister that my cousin got shot. So obviously that put me in a rage, I just wanted to find whoever did that and kill the motherfucker as painfully as possible. My sister calls me at 4 in the morning to tell me how bad it is.

He almost died, his left arm was just completely shattered, his spine got hit so the doctors said he will never be able to walk again and that his legs were paralyzed. I went to see him in the hospital and it was pretty fucking sad. Last night my sister said he moved his left foot multiple times so I guess that is good. The day after this I tried to get on Revleft and it was the first day it was down :(

I used to be in the same gang but dropped out years ago, the stupidest decision I've ever made was to join. I hear all the time that people I know who also dropped out get shot or stabbed. So I get a little paranoid, when is my turn. Like I think my old set will be recruiting people and they'll make someone do something to me for them to join, because they fucking do shit like that and I walk home every night from work right through their area. I just hope they haven't realized that yet.

On a good note, I got laid recently, it had been too long so that was cool.

My life is nothing more than a series of "shoulds". I'm just a stunted man-girl-child who has never belonged anywhere and probably never will. I'm scared as shit of people but so lonely.:(

Life is what you make of it, don't let yourself be over taken with "what ifs" and "I should haves". You still have control, you always have a choice. Take a chance, do something you wouldn't normally do. Do something scary, don't let it turn into a should! Life can be scary and so can people but I promise that it's not as bad as it may seem. You may get hurt, you may be brought to tears but what you will experience will be worth every tear. The good times will out weigh the bad you just have to give yourself a fighting chance to do so! It's scary getting out there but it will get easier with time. It's hard to see past the fear and anxiety that goes along with putting yourself out there but it is so worth it.

You can always talk with me if you feel down or unappreciated, I'll listen to anything you have to say. And I'll do my best to help if I can at all. :)

I'm in a fairly good mood right now. I've been dying for a fight for soooo long and some prick gave me the opportunity today. On the bus I am the only senior and then there are a few juniors. I have MY seat which everyone knows is mine and everyone respects. We (the upperclassmen) sit in the back of the bus and kind of have some shit between a couple lowerclassmen who are just annoying little assholes. We don't fuck with anyone on the bus and keep to ourselves but we definitely aren't ones to be fucked with either because we have our ways of getting back.

Lately, there has been this one kid that is the total spoiled rich white kid prick that thinks he's immune to anything and he's been starting shit.

Today when most of the upperclassmen got off the bus he turned around and chucked something at me so I picked it up went up to him and threw it at his face (i missed by like an inch :blushing:) then ripped his earphones out and said "fuck you prick". I still had his earphones in my hands as I walked to the back of the bus and he got up, followed me, and threw the first punch. (really fucking wimpy punch cuz I don't even know if he hit me)

So I preceded to deck him in the face then get on top of him in the seat and wail on the back of his head til the bus driver stopped us. He walked back to his seat like the beaten little prick he is and everyone gave me a high-five.

Good day :thumbup1:

And I just had the pleasure of over-hearing my dad tell me step-mom that I did the right thing. :lol:

He just came up and talked to me and at the end was like "Wait, what kind of idiot sophmore picks a fight with a senior?" hahaha

[Erratus]

Just got back from visiting my dad's side of the family. They are largely white, old, rich Republicans. I had to bite my tongue a lot, but peace was my reward. I didn't say anything when they called Obama a socialist, when they called Mexicans a scourge to America, said the EPA was destroying the economy, or when they said the OWS protesters were nothing but whining college students that need to get a job. I even managed to smile and nod when they told me how I am genetically predisposed to be wealthy and successful.

Numerous reasons, the largest of which was that it was a Christmas party and I'd hate to bring down the mood.

jesus fuck dude, apart from getting laid that's seriously uncool. makes me think about how people here whine about Perth being so violent and how sad/hilarious that is. people probably get into drunken brawls and glassings here because there's fuck all else to do lol. I'm really sorry to hear about your cousin anyhow, hope he gets better and stays out of trouble. :(

well, first time at the unemployment office today. got me a meeting with some employment services provider near my house. only when I get home does my dickhead father tell me that the people down there are arseholes, then blames me for him not telling me a fucking thing about it before I went down there. seems a bit ironic when he calls me lazy but whatever.

on a better note I'm listening to blink-182's greatest hits and it seems to never get old. :)

I have no money because my housing benefit got cut off, and although I managed to get an extension on my rent, I doubt the inefficient bastards at the council will get it sorted out in time. The university are stupid landlords and make me pay my 12 months of rent monthly over a period of 8 months, so even if I had had my benefit, I would still be struggling.

I also have fucking DWP on my back over income support that they want back. They're supposed to pay me from the end of one term to the start of the next, but for some reason they think that they should have stopped paying me at the end of August when my course didn't start until the end of September. What the fuck do they expect me to live on? So I have to write some kind of appeal against that.

Ughhh money is so stressful.

[Landsharks eat metal]

Yesterday, I went back to my old high school for the first time since I graduated, to see the winter concert that some of my friends were in. The best word I have to describe the experience is weird. I hated high school so much and had a lot of bad experiences and never really fit in.

A lot of that came back to me as I was sitting in the same auditorium I'd sat in so many times over the course of 4 years, remembering the first time I realized I didn't belong, all the way to the last time, when I thought everything was going to get much better as soon as I got the hell out of there.

I saw some friends, some of whom had graduated with me and some of my younger friends who still attend that school, but I didn't get to talk as much as I wanted with anyone. Everyone seemed in such a hurry to leave, and even when I did get the chance to talk to people, I was struck by the difference between the levels of success I perceived, between everyone else and me. I found myself falling into the same mold I was trapped in in school, wanting so much just to talk to people but not knowing what to say and how to reach out. Some of the friends I was most looking forward to seeing left before I got the chance to talk to them.

It made me realize some things though, things that make me feel bad but that it's great that I know even though I'll probably forget. The first is that I can't just expect my life to get better just because I got away from a bad situation. I learned negative coping skills in high school that have made me barely able to function in social situation, but that's something I have to work on, not just expect them to go away.

The other thing, which I know I've told myself before many times is I'm not like everyone else, so I can't judge my success or my quality of life by comparing how I'm doing to other people's lives. I know I'm not too successful or happy right now, but I will be in the future, even though I may not be how other people expect me to be.

[Quail]

I'm constantly venting either on facebook or on here because I feel terrible. My mental health sucks. I just don't want to talk to anyone about it. It makes me feel better venting into a void because although I don't want to talk, at least someone might read it and it's out of my head.

Well,the weather might be crapping out over here and that might make meeting my partner tomorrow difficult but the good news is that my partner's mother has finally said that I can come over to his house while he is on school break! *excitedly claps hands* ...I still have the actual schedule to plan out but even if I am unable to go tomorrow this means that I won't have to wait another whole week to see him (even though when I am at his house we won't be able to cuddle or anything.I can still give him his presents but nothing much romantic will occur... unfortunately).

[Susurrus]

So mini rant: the person I am close to has this sort of "bad boy" friend/boytoy. This guy has repeatedly called her "*****" and done other offensive things. She has repeatedly said that it's over between them, and that he's gone too far.

Then she just gets back with him and posts pictures of them making out on facebook. Then, after a while, it happens again. This does not seem healthy to me.

[BurnTheOliveTree]

What is a normal amount of times to go out/get drunk/have some social time in a week? A couple of years ago I used to do this ALL the time, the entire weekend and a lot of weekdays - it got pretty detrimental to the rest of my life, was barely scraping my grades and that, but to be honest I was happy to prioritise the rush of human contact and the constant meeting new people etc over that stuff. It made me feel human ya know. My life now involves a lot less of it, I go out just once or twice a week and quite often with the same people, and on the odd week not at all except for a pint after a branch meeting. I've begun to get massively sick of being indoors, but one upshot of not socializing so much is that I'm more nervous and neurotic about talking with strangers. Not cripplingly so, and I do it regularly enough without any problems, but enough that it becomes the road of least resistance to keep to myself. I suppose what I need to do is force myself to go out every opportunity there is and be talkative on each occasion, at least for a bit, and then hopefully I'll become fully comfortable with it again and beat the boredom.

No,it is not healthy at all.It sounds like she has some sort of dependance variance and needs to receive some mental help (nothing to be ashamed about).She might be reliant on relationships and needs someone to tell her she is important even if the guy is abusive.

Well, a. she hasn't been in a relationship with this guy until just now, b. if she wanted to be with someone else, she could almost literally have her pick, c. she realizes he's a jerk, but says she likes him anyway and that she feels "risky" "like its an adventure", and d. he hasn't physically abused her thus far, just been a total asshole on multiple occasions.

I guess I jumped to conclusions then,sorry.

Sounds like she needs to lay down the law then and say to this guy "cut the crap and act like a person." Easier said than done but still.

my computer has been broken so I haven't been using the internet lately (I'm on a different computer right now). instead I've been spending my free time cooking, watching shitty tv shows, and learning how to knit. I'm moving into my new apartment in january so I'm pretty stoked for that. I hope you're all doing well this holiday season.

Lets see...the pills seem to have kicked in and I've started to figure some stuff out. I moved in with my friends...girl is still talking to me (:thumbup1:)

The paper I burned out on? I thought it was D- quality at best, picked it up at the final and forgot to look...I found it while unpacking and saw the mark by accident...collapsed in the hallway and roommate had to read it to me.

FUCKING A- AND THE PROF CALLED IT THE BEST PAPER IN THE CLASS. THe majority of the class apparently did the topic I picked but I was the one who didn't spend 12 pages moralizing and derping about.

Also my birthday tomorrow so I'm gonna go buy myself an ice cream cake and smoke weed. Haters gonna hate.

I don't enjoy how some adults are very contradictory. When I do something immature, they tell me "You're already 17 years old, you can already marry in some cultures, start acting like a responsible adult!" Yet when I start doing adult things, they tell me "You can't do that, you're only 17, you're practically still a baby!"

It annoys me so much when some adults say that. Either I am 17 and I will do immature things, or I am 17 and will do things like an adult. You can't have it both ways

as a 17 year old I can sympathize. my dad thinks he can tell me what I have to do with my life, doesn't want me touching alcohol, is a general prick etc while at the same time hassling me about being responsible. if you're going to treat me like a moron, at least be consistent.

Just now catching up on the great shitstorm of 2011..

[Impulse97]

Whelp, a cute girl gave me her phone number at work today and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with said digits. I'm thinking of asking her out for coffee or something relaxed like that where we can talk.

So, RevLeft in your infinite wisdom, how can I not screw this up? I've been on one date thus far in my short time on planet earth, to the junior homecoming, and I'm not quite set yet on the etiquette of this whole situation. i.e. How long do I wait before calling? What the heck is appropriate to wear to such an event? How can I soothe my nerves?

Believe it or not, the first and last questions are the same thing. She gave you her number, so it's fair to assume she likes you enough to go out at least once... If that doesn't soothe your nerves, it should. People call it a cliche, but I still assert that 48 hours is a decent time span to wait before calling. Sooner than that seems desperate, later than that seems inconsiderate or even dismissive.

Coffee is a good idea because you can actually talk and get to know each other (I always advise against movies on a first date), and if at all possible try and find some sort of hip-ish indie joint to have it in... Keep conversation light and whimsical. Try to make jokes where applicable, but generally don't put on some kind of act or you'll seem like an ass. Finally, dress is always location dependent. You want to look nice because it's a date, but you'd look silly going too formal in a place like that. I'd say jeans and something with a collar on it would suffice.

Good luck! :)

Awww, cute! lol

While I agree with what praxis1966 has to say I'll through in a few more bits of information for yah. Even though she did give you her number it's normal to experience a level of nerviousness, especially since this would be your second date. You will most likely be a little nervous, but that's okay. Just understand this will happen and don't let it surprise you, everyone gets nervous, even on the 100th date. So don't worry about it and do your best to relax.

Also, yes. Like praxis said, wait at least 48 hours, but not too long, like over 4 days I'd say. And when you ask her out, make it a day or two away.

Be confident, even if it's a little faked. I'm not saying don't be yourself but try and put on your best confident face. But do not go over board trying to impress her, this will be easy to see through and will most likely just backfire in some way. Plus she'll probably think you absolutely head over heels for her willing to do anything and you don't want that.

So, important things... you should be calm, confident, a good listener, attentive but not overly (the key is balance here) and have a bit of mysteriousness. Don't go all out on the first date, leave some to be had and wondered about.

Do not ask her out on a second date while you are the first one, while it would probably be fine in most cases, don't do it and chances are if she really does like you then she'll either ask you herself or be dieing to get a phone call from you the next day. Make her chase you a little. The next day or the day after that if she didn't ask you out herself again on the first date then give her a call and tell her you had a great time with her and see where the conversation leads.

Does she like you a lot? We'll if she's talking a lot this is usually a good sign, especially if she's leaning forward and makes animated facial expressions sometimes. Is she laughing maybe a little harder at a joke than she should have? If yes than this is good. But some girls are just naturally shy and won't do this even if they like you so you have to make this analysis yourself. Watch her body language is she leaning towards you, does she touch your hand sometimes? These are good signs and mean you can probably steal a kiss later. :w00t: lol

Personally - On a first date I like a guy who can hold a conversation and doesn't respond to questions with one liners and then stare at the floor. I like seeing a fun, relaxed, confident personality in him which helps me open up more. I also like it when he shows me his fun side by asking me to dance in the middle of a coffee shop, etc. (I'm not saying do this, this could freak some girls out, lol)

Good luck!

Oh, one more thing. Who pays?

[TheGodlessUtopian]

If you are the type who wants to take everything onto yourself I would say you would pay (as that is what I usually do when I go out with someone).But id you are not that type I would say split the bill; times are hard and people don't have a lot of money so spending time relaxing should be a event which all involved parties help with.

[Kitty_Paine]

Thanks, guys this all helps.

I would go the traditional route and offer to pay, but if she refuses and insists she pays for her own don't insult her by persisting too much. Insist a couple times to pay if she refuses but not too much more. Some women who aren't as traditional like to pay sometimes, because they want to be "independent", etc. or they don't like traditional roles, etc. So just feel it out. But yes, definitely insist on picking up the tab.

On a first date like this where neither of you have really talked before it's important you don't make it too... ummm, romantic daty, lol. Basically, don't pick her up from her place, meet at the coffee shop or something like that, or after work, etc. All women are different but this is a basic priniciple.

Make sure to compliment her, and on smaller things too that people might not normally notice. But anyway... :)

I went to a store to buy a pair of jeans.. The assistant came up to me and asked if I needed help.. I said I was wondering if they had these jeans in size 28 waist.. She looked at me, then looked at my waist and then said "umm, these are European sizes so you're probably not 28 inchs.. I know you want to look skinny, but get a size that fits you and save yourself the trip to return.." I didn't know what to say. I fucking hate having a 28 inch waist! No matter how much I train, I'll never gain inches on my waist.. As if I was dying for a woman's waist. :(

As was said, offer to pay and if she says no then maybe say "you sure? it's not a problem" but if she doesn't want you to pay that's cool. It's a good sign that she's not as into the ridiculous gender roles of society.

Btw, do you know anything about this girl?

Not really, no. I work at a gas station and only spoke to her for a few minutes while she and her friends bought snacks and gas. And, then again for perhaps a second when she came back in and said they had reached a consensus in the car and handed me her number.

I think all told I know her first name and that we both attend the same community college.

Just got back from visiting my dad's side of the family. They are largely white, old, rich Republicans. I had to bite my tongue a lot, but peace was my reward. I didn't say anything when they called Obama a socialist, when they called Mexicans a scourge to America, said the EPA was destroying the economy, or when they said the OWS protesters were nothing but whining college students that need to get a job. I even managed to smile and nod when they told me how I am genetically predisposed to be wealthy and successful.
I have to go through this shit all the time. When I got a job my Grandpa greeted me by saying "Good job, got a job before one of those beaners could steal it from you". Haha Grandpa, then later that night "You're probably the only white guy there huh, everybody else is probably a lowlife nigger or spic". I gave him a look and he apologizes. It's so fucking annoying.
One time I actually got my Uncle and Grandpa to admit that Obama wasn't a socialist, we weren't headed towards communism, that Obama wasn't a Muslim, and that Fox News lies. Didn't really matter because they still spew the same bullshit but they shut up around me or when I comment on one of their posts on facebook.

My alcoholic mother ruined my holiday. She went on one of her rampages last night, where she basically acts like a teenager who's been hit in the head with something, by verbally assaulting and harassing my father for no good reason, refusing to leave him alone, and such. She even went off on me.

I feel terrible about it, but she made me really want to punch her in the face. I managed to control that stupid irrational side of me, though she really provoked me with her condescending bullshit.

I am a rational person though, so I am assuming her drunken/otherwise intoxicated behavior doesn't represent her true feelings, so I am willing to forgive her as long as she's going to make a commitment to getting some fucking help. She apologized and said she would. But, this is like the billionth fucking time she's apologized and said she'd get help.

This is also like the third fucking time she's done this.

My father is no angel either, though. He has a tendency to be a huge fucking asshole about her drinking, and it just makes shit worse despite how much his stubborn-ass brain won't acknowledge it.

I'll be glad when I finally leave and never have to see either of them again.

I should note, also, that I don't really care about Xmas. I only participate in it when there are people around me who do, as I don't want to rain on everyone's parade for no reason.

Just got done with a lovely conversation. We talked about human nature. I was just trying to argue my two premises. 1. Humans, being social creatures, have both self-serving instincts and other-serving instincts . And 2. we live in a society that promotes the self-serving instincts and not so much the other-serving instincts. The first premise he completely rejected and called me naive and young for believing it. After diving into he, he just flat out rejected that humans are social creatures. I would think that he was messing with me if he wasn't so livid and candid with it all too. I've never experienced anyone who denied a very, very basic biological fact as humans being social creatures. Sometimes I think that my standards for who I engage with are too high because I rarely get to do intellectually talk to anyone. Sometimes I think they are too low because of people like this.

My parents are getting a divorce. I've been expecting this for years now so it doesn't hit very hard and it isn't a surprise. I'm not sure how to feel about it.

We have our differences but we know how to make things better for eachother.

Geez you guys must be living under a rock or something. Or maybe it's just the bonfire + politics combination specifically. Anyway, such things don't thrill me much any more. There are political people all over the place, too many to make a conversation about such things thrilling (unless it was a damn fucking good conversation).

I think it's thrilling when you can see someone making new connections and new views on things and more so when you are helping them make those connections.

Yeah, I guess I see your point. But it's still a bit tame for me. Like, I had this one girl I went to school with asking me about communism on facebook, and it felt good because my advice to her was, go to some meetings, see what it's all about first hand, you know. But to me, I guess I don't value those things so much, not unless something comes out of it, like if she had totally gone red, which she didn't. When she suggested to me that she might go to a CPUSA meeting, I shot it down and told her the ISO would probably be better. I don't know why I did that, but I think that sort of turned her off the the whole idea. I don't know, she seems to have been to pro-America in the first place. In any case, my point is that you're right. I should value those situations a little more, but I don't. Why? Because right now all I want to do is meet a girl.

I need to stop thinking so much, but I don't really know how. I keep coming upon the conclusion that the net effect I have on the world is negative (and sometimes I even get enough into this way of thinking that something like the revolution couldn't happen with me supporting it because of my worthlessness, and shit like that), but I can't kill myself unless I can find a way to frame it as an unpreventable accident so no one will feel guilty, then I think about how people would have to clean up the body and I think that that would be a horrible thing to do to someone, even if they're used to doing that.
I'm officially too guilty to kill myself. Fuck.

1. Don't kill yourself.

2. Don't stop thinking. Change your thinking.

That said, your situation sounds a hell of a lot like mine was a few months ago(including a few periods of suicidal thoughts). You've got to feel as awesome as you are. If, you don't, then you won't act like it and if you don't act like it then you will be as worthless as you feel, because your shorting yourself without any good reason.

I'd obsess over small things, how I looked, what I said and how I said it, how I moved, the sounds I made etc. etc. Everything, had to be perfect for me to think of myself as even 'acceptable' in any given social situation. I'd get super nervous and have anxiety attacks if something was out of sorts or more often than not, if I met a pretty girl and something was out of sorts. Thus, I have virtually (until recently) no experience with women, which not only hurt me in the dating scene, but added a shit ton more things to worry about. I wasn't happy or confident and I felt completely worthless. I felt like people didn't want me around and that I was a bother even to my best friends.

And, you know what? It was all stupid shit that I doubt most people wig out over on a regular basis.

After, nearly a year of depression and smoking myself stupid 24/7 to deal with it, I finally stopped giving a shit about it. Well, not entirely, rather I stopped needlessly giving a shit about it. I forced myself not worry about the stuff that didn't matter. I stopped smoking so much (Being hungover all the time kinda sucks, plus weed just amplifies your emotions so the hangover just made my anxiety worse. That and it made me withdrawn, no one wants to interact when their hungover.).

Lastly, I kept telling myself that I was just as good as any other guy, I could chase women with the best of them, that I was in fact awesome, and not to dwell on the past or things that didn't matter.

It takes time, and I'm not completely done, but I feel sooo much better. I smile more. I'm more relaxed and women are starting to take notice of the new and improved Impulse97! (It blew my mind last Friday that an attractive girl would just give me her number like she did. Our, second date is set for a week from today.)

So, in short, change your thinking and good things will follow suit. Don't get down if you seem to take two steps forward and one step back at first. You just gotta push through it.

[Leftsolidarity]

Ahh it's another one of those nights.

I need Revleft's 'bro-wisdom'. I think my best friend might be hooking up with my ex that I dated for 2 and a half years. I'm not cool with that at all if it's the case. I don't know what I should do though. Do I ask or something? And what if they are hooking up? Am I supposed to be chill about it? I don't own her or anything but he's my best friend and I figured he should have the common decency to not do that or at least talk to me about it first.

I also don't want to start a huge shit storm over nothing. WHAT DO I DO INTERNET?????

[Kitty_Paine]

Ahhh, finally... something to occupy me, lol...

This is an issue I've encountered a few times in my short life. I can give you advice but by no means can I guarentee success, this is just from my experience.

Some people don't see any harm in this, he might have thought nothing of it and didn't even think to tell you before it happened. But chances are he was probably skeptical of informing you and proceeded anyway because, he was horny... not to make light of the situation but guys can be very "horny", which can drive them to do things that in a normal state they may have not done. But you know that...

I would ask him in a calm, laid back manor, as if it doesn't matter. If you approach him as if it's a big deal he may lie out of panic. If he admits just calmly address the issue as you see fit, remember you're "bros", don't assume he tried to fuck you over at first. Consider the situation he may have been, etc.

If he denies... well, I'm not sure how good you are at reading body language but try and see if he feels uncomfortable at you asking this question. If you're best friends it shouldn't be terribly difficult to tell if he's lieing. But even if you think he is, I'd give it a while more to try and confirm your suspicions.

If he lies and you find out he did, he's either a shitty friend who cares more about getting laid than you or he just went into panic mode, like a child might, and lied out of fear of losing you as a friend. It's up to you to make that call...

I know, not a whole lot of advice... but I hope it at least helps you a little :)

but regardless i'm worried about that too. i don't feel like i'm ready. i'm close to graduating and i just can't see myself going out and doing the job i'm studying to do. i can't see myself doing anything.

Maybe, he's bi and simply confused. The gay community gets a lot of media attention regardless of what people are saying about it. He might simply think that you can only one or the other and just needs to realize that you can go both ways. Try, asking him, if you feel your close enough to him. Maybe, you could get some info on sexuality or the bi community to help him if he seems willing and interested. Perhaps, you could find a mutual friend who's bi and can share their experiences with him, someone he can relate too. I just wouldn't be so quick to assume its an act or that he's lying.

I probably sound like a fucking idiot.

Yes, yes you do.

Does anyone else ever feel ashamed of having lustful desires? I'm an 18 year old male, and it's not abnormal for someone with this arrangement to think about sex a lot. It just seems hard to reconcile my feminist understanding of sex and gender relations with what can be considered the chauvinistic urges to engage in sexual activity.

I probably sound like a fucking idiot.

Everyone has urges and hormones and needs and desires. Having a healthy sexuality isn't even bad. And even if what you imagine is somehow sexist, what is really important is how you act, and not what primal urges you have.

Erratus pretty much got it.

Every person has sexual thoughts, fantasies and desires (well maybe not everybody). It's normal like you said, and any feminist ideology that would condem you for having those thoughts is silly. Like stated, it's when you start acting in inappropriate manors in relation to those thoughts that gets you on thin ice. Don't beat your self up over thoughts, everyone has strange, twisted fantasies and crazy ideas that they wouldn't tell a soul. You are not the worst! lol

Your thoughts are fine, think anything you want. It's the actions that count. Your hormones are raging, it's normal to look at a girl and imediately think of sexual things. It doesn't make you shallow. But you would be shallow if you treated said girl as a sexual object. There's a big difference.

I think just being worried about this in the first place prooves you aren't a shallow assholes anyway, lol.

I wonder how its like to be on a plane (never been).

You're not missing much, I rarely ever fly but I can safely say I'd be a lot better off without the experience

Yesterday I was able to spend a full ten hours with my partner just watching movies and hanging out! It was an awesome day.Even though we were at his place and his mother was constantly around I was still able to sneak in a few kisses and cuddling moments.

I was finally able to give him his Christmas presents and he loved them;I gave him a Che Guevara sweatshirt,a Death Note novel,and a book on gender.I also gave him a card and a chocolate bar.In all a very excellent day.

The nest time we will be able to see each other wont be until his birthday,which is in about 15 days,but I am still happy and looking forward to the time we get.

Went out with friends to a restaurant.. Ended up paying $75 for one meal.. DA FUK INDEED. It was a vegan restaurant that was ecofriendly and played hipster music. What was I thinking.. There goes one day's salary.

Dude that's like a week's pay for me haha That sucks. As a vegetarian with vegan friends, fuck vegan restaurants. Those places fuck you in prices to the extreme.

Test results are in, I have problems with my thyroid gland. Fuck it could be anything. It could be cancer. God damn. Or Hachimoto's disease. I've done my wikipedia research.

I do too. I've known a lot of people with complications of the thyroid. Mine doesn't produce enough hormones or whatever it does it doesn't do enough of so I've been on medicine for years and will be for the rest of my life :thumbdown:

So what made them take tests in the first place? Is it something as serious as cancer or is it something like where it's just all fucked up in how it's working?

I think I may have found a way to combine Leninism and Anarchism, and people said it wouldn't work. :lol:

Well, that's obviously Anarcho-Trotskyist conspiratorial rhetoric.

Probably because it won't work... but please do tell every single detail.;)

Hmm... now that I look more into it, it is slightly complicated but I will try to explain my best, looking back at it I am not sure if it could be considered Leninism.
What my idea was basically is that even if there was any kind of "mini state" or government would decay due to the very thing that created the anarchist society in the first place. The drive for equality and because of psychological tension created from an imbalance in rights or power.
Basically I am saying that no matter what the transition phase is from capitalism-socialism-communism the end result will be the drive for an anarchist society because of inequality. Even if complete equality is impossible the elements of inequality will still stir in the air and drive humanity slowly to progress to a further transition phase. In fact lets say capitalism is phase 3 there could be hundreds of phases that will take place over the course of hundreds of centuries.
I am not sure if I explained this to the best of my ability so I hope at least same of it makes sense, it may contain fallacies I am not aware of though.

The problem is the focus on equality instead of relation to means of production and class struggle. But anywho, I probably shouldn't try to hold a convo on this in here since this is non-political and I like it that way.

Whenever I see Marx, I copy his facial expression.. So much attitude.
