I forgot ever since a particular person has come into the picture, I stop feeling like burning the earth when the person is around and it's a more deeper liking than stareing at "certain assets"
to bad
Waking up one day and becoming very apathetic. It may sound negative, but I used to care alot about others opinions of me, but one day I just sort of had an epiphany and now I couldn't give a rat's ass about much. Sure, I now have the emotional spectrum of a piece of toast, but I'm significantly more content with myself.
Superficially, the greatest hcange recently was my style shift from casual to goth/alternative, originating from a trench coat.
Psycologicallly, realising that the world is not a good place to be. This is not Angst but rather a cynical conclusion.

I haven't read the house of leaves, so I can't say anything about that, but I really like where you're going with this post. I find myself irritated many times by books, art or whatever being hailed as 'so deep' but you need one flowcharts and a 2 hour discussion with someone who patronizes you for not 'getting it' to even see what the author or artist were getting at.FalloutJack said:
So me personally just rather read someone who just says it like it is. My favourite author to praise for that must be Paulo Coelho, the man gets a message out, makes you think while keeping it simple and interesting.
I've never really had any lasting revelation and my life is pretty free of traumatic experiences (which I'm thankful for.) There's probably one or two of those moments I can think of but they're a bit too personal.
I guess I'll go with when I decided, for shits and giggles, to listen to the copy of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out I was given for my birthday. My prejudice-senses told me it was just "emo music" and that I shouldn't touch it in case it spurred me into cutting myself, but after hearing the first song I was addicted.
The moral of the story is that you should always try something before giving an opinion on it. Its why I try to avoid Twilight hate beyond my own experiences (the film's first half hour is fantastically dull, the plot seems like fanfiction, Robert Pattinson looks like a foot.)

When I started watching Doctor Who.
Whenever I feel down I figure "Why let it screw with everyone else around me?" and put on a manic, Gallifreyan face.

I have always been weird, so most things which present life-changing ideas tend to be very similar to things I already thought about. Also, I tend to be quite arrogant, so I always think I am right, so all those little things which might change me ... well they tend to fail because if they conflict with something I believe, I tend to label them as wrong.
Life changing events are not very nice.
Like tending to your grandma who's dying from cancer, wathcing her fade away slowly.
Or your father dying in your hands in a heart attack on Christmas Eve.
No 16 year old really wants that.

That is so true dammit, the same thing happend to me when i brought an Iron Maiden CD for my metal head friends. Didn't think loud, screaming metal was any good, back when i was fourteen years old i was into bands like Greenday and Blink 182. Then, when i was home with the CD i decided to have a listen before passing it on, just out of curiosity. The first song was Iron Maiden's Different World, and the song just blew me over. I've been into metal music ever since. Never judge a book by its cover. Cliche, but true.Jiggabyte said:
Admittidly, i have denounced Twilight without having read the books or seen the film. So i havn't always followed my own teachings, exposing myself as a bit of a hypocrite. I'll shut up about Twilight now...Anyway's, i have a number of life changing "realisations" which i could talk about- the nature of love, the human mind, mortality, beauty in the universe etc. But, i'll talk about only one, lest this post becomes one long, long, long essay.
The value of knowledge and wisdom. It sort of dawned on me how important these faculties were whilst studying Philosophy at my 6th form college. Studying philosophy taught me the importance of thinking for yourself, in doing so building principles by which to live your life by, it makes you think how you should be living your life. If you put reason behind your own actions, know when and how you should express your passions, you'll live a good life, and hopefully become a wise person. Of course, you carn't do this without knowledge of the real world, what people do and why, and it always help to know the wisdom of others. It's kinda hard for me to express what studying philosophy taught me, but i know it talked me a lot.
A few I could really say but I guess the real catalyst one was when I was 8 at primary school and switched to adult novels (by which I don't mean naughty ones)I really grew up in the next couple of years never went through a teenager phase and became quite serious.
On the flip side when I got to sixth form however I had another change I dumped my "friends" a bunch of bitchy cynics, and found some new nicer people I also became a bit more easy going. And I think a bit wiser about people I wasn't trying to please people to try and fit into a group because no one had heard of half of the stuff I was into and it didn't matter because it was what I liked.

I found WoW and it changed my life(in a good way) believe it or not , I am better at talking to people irl because of WoW which I don't understand but I guess it's because i'm talking to people online all the time who I don't know I can just do it in real life.
Also when I found the escapist, i'm learning alot of things everyday from this site making me look smart to my friends

When i was around 15 i realised that i was a realy nice guy. That niceness however, was on the inside. I looked horrible on the outside. It took me over a year to actually make an image for myself (Got Roacutaine for my spots, grew my hair, hit the gym, got contact lenses) and now im really happy with myself and im fairly good with the ladies if i do say so myself.
Wrote this before but it changed my life so here.
A few days ago. I beielived Girl #1 and Girl #2 that Girl #3 liked me.
At first I didn't believe them but somehow they influenced me to think so. Then Girl #3 told me that they were being twats. When I confronted Girl #1 she said;
"It was just a joke."
I've deformed to what I used to be before. This made me learn a few things:
1) I trusted no one in the past for a reason.
2) Girl #3 was never in my social circle therefore equalling no chance of us going out.
3) Girls #1 and #2 are going to get Kerb-Stomped. Gears. Of. War. Style. For playing with my heart, which is properly a black hole right now because of them.
