What did you get for Christmas(Hanuka, Kwanzaa, etc;...)?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Aw dude, 'course you do. Don't let someone else's opinion ruin your life, it's just not worth it.

If it's any consolation, I'm also single again...

Well, it wasn't for any holiday, but I bought via Ebay a $360 45cm Godzilla figure made by some guy in Japan.

Haven't received it yet, and only time will tell how long it takes before guilt sets in and I think about who I could have fed with that much money.

But I've acted in ways that have caused trouble and made me deeply ashamed of myself-all because I was too immature to deal with things rationally.

Haven't we all?

I've spent the past two days mulling over exactly this sort of thing, what I did, what I should have done...but in the absence of hoary old sci-fi cliches like time travel or alternate universes, we just have to admit that what's done is done, and live with it. Of course, I'm completely alone in a country where I don't speak the language, so I have a lot of time for this kind of introspection...

I allowed myself to become consumed by my own hurt feelings and may have made things so much worse-I'm such a loser.

Yep, that's pretty much where I'm at too. Took myself far too seriously and ended up destroying something beautiful, while thinking I was the victim all along.

I'm just in that horrible period of waiting to see if there will be consequences, and just how bad they'll be. I'm really scared.

Yeah, I just found out that she's met someone else who makes her happy. So that's 50% of us, at least. 66.6 recurring if you include the other guy. Yay.

Feh, don't worry about me. I'm gutted, but there's millions more opportunities out there, and, well it's summer here for one. It's hard to stay depressed when the mercury's pushing mid-nineties.
