Things That Are on Your Mind

[Daku Rinku]

Idk what I am necessarily trying to say with this, but I feel there may be something to this that you might find useful.

I've known @CynicalSquid for roughly a decade now. He can't stand pop-punk music, will straight up talk **** about it to me. Two of my favorite bands are blink-182 and Simple Plan, both are to different degrees legendary pop-punk bands. I love the genre and hold it dear to my heart. So how am I still friends with this tasteless dork? Honestly a lot of getting over my own insecurities. The things that matter to me (you) don't need to matter to anybody else. CynicalSquid may not have loved the thing I loved, but that was never a personal attack against me. My friendship with him taught me a lot about myself and what I consider important. I may not always agree with his opinion on something, but I often go to him first for an opinion, because I have learned just how much his opinions are worth (even when they are plain wrong and lacking of taste). We've both grown a lot since we first met each other, but having a healthy understanding that our opinions will differ and that we can respect that we've each come to enjoy different things for different, yet equally valid reasons, is likely a large part of why I still call him a friend today.

That is nice, and how a lot of friends have to be about fandoms. For myself, it is has be exasperating that a person keeps mistreating me over my fandom, but does not to other members on the forums. Like its only I that gets dung thrown at me for the same fandom. That is my issue. When you have good friends, you can make fun of each others obsessions and passions, its all in good fun, because the pokes go both ways. What is frustrating tho, is when someone targets you, makes you feel like carp for a fandom they also have, and that they allow others to express without being chided.

I guess to give an example is lets say three people like the same sword from Zelda, The Master Sword, but person C allows themselves to love Fi, and person A they let express their fandom for Fi, but Person B gets persecuted by Person C for the same Master Sword fandom. Its very.. well, lets just say it sucks to be Person B.

Okay.....how do I even start? I'm into cross stitching and I planned a lot of large projects. But Mr Vee decided to do the exact same projects but as Diamond Paintings. We don't need 2 of the same projects so today I came across a huge and I mean HUGE Pokemon cross stitch pattern with ONE MILLION STITCHES. We agreed I would make that project and Mr Vee keeps his hands off this project. But there's one condition. All other cross stitch projects are on a hold so I can work on this one from start to finish or else he's going to Diamond Paint it, hahahahahahaha!
First pokemon to start with is Poplio. I'm excited because of all the great colors. But ONE MILLION stitched? Pfhew!

Pop punk do be trash tho

Well, I disagree.

Depends on the band and song.

And.... whether or not you're into punk in general.

I do like a few actually. If you consider bands like The Offspring, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and A Day To Remember pop punk. I even like a few blink songs. I’m just a hater.

Also I guess I’m into punk? I like metallic hardcore and metalcore/deathcore.

It's fine, lol, people can like what they like, and not like what they don't like.

Myself, I just won't unilaterally write off an entire genre, because that's just how I am.

I am the same lol. I am just also a douchebag

Well, I don't think so, lol.

A hater? Sure, but a douchebag? Ehhhh..... you can stretch the truth, mate, but you can't just lie like that.

What is on my mind is how you "can never go home again." That the past is the past, you have changed and grown, and while you will have some nostalgic moments, it still will not feel the same. I am surprised how a movie I loved for so long I now loath. I have had a lot franchises (not Zelda, it has gone the opposite, I am bigger fan now than I ever was back in day) that are reaching milestones die inside me at the big anniversary.

Stitch may beg to differ

He can think what he wishes, lol.

A thing on my mind is that I need to get to the gym and fencing more. It need to get back in peak shape.

I got into an argument with my sister twice today. Due to me not communicating well. And that is due to me being in constant pain, tired, and exhausted. I think I'm going to turn in for the night soon.

Do not be too hard on yourself, pain makes us not ourselves. The nicest people can be much altered when pain strikes.

My mom was in constant pain all her life, and I've never seen her angry once. That shouldn't be an excuse, in my eyes.
