Well, Poland look like they won't score if they play the entire night! Awful performance, Columbia deserve the lead!

If they are struggling to score anything maybe it’s time that approach that shady looking guy in the dimly lit corner.

Columbia deserve the win, by far the better team and great support from the fans (loads of them there!). Poland were poor and didn't try hard enough.

Move it here at the risk of highjacking!get 'er!
I'm still cynical and pessimistic, but sometimes like to put it in my humour, maybe it's because I've felt quite alone for years, maybe I just am that way regardless, but as my brother said, and I think my late mum came up with it if you don't laugh you'll cry which I do understand, I'm just conflicted sometimes, as things usually don't change unless you've put all your effort into something that might make a difference, and well although I do feel like I don't have much skill in anything when I do try I feel better for it - could be finally finding something rare, could be writing something, anything close to feeling I've moved forward towards something.
for many on forums/in communities like this it is one of their favourite forms of escapism, I do pick up some recommends like some websites saying which ones are the most popular and that, but usually I find over the years I've stumbled into some of my favourites, and yea, some anime is pretty, it shows how much work the animators put into it.
don't really know how to end this part of the response so I'm just going to say, as someone who hasn't been diagnosed with anything (that I know of) do I think I have depression? nope, not like some other people have it. do I have anxiety? probably, I'm just not very good around people
It sounds a bit selfish, and I do think there are many things in the world that are inherently selfish acts, but I'm an atheist and a nihilist, the only true value in life is the value you give your life
Nah, fair play, you've spoken very honestly there @Captaaainuniverse and funnily enough, my Mum says exactly the same thing! I can well say the same - skills wise whilst I recognise that art is something I'm good at, it's finding the opportunities around my area, and even so, do I even want to do it for a living anyway? I've had a number of different jobs that have allowed me to learn various different "general skills", but nothing really that stands out as a specialty. I think when it comes down to it, all I really want is a job I can be comfortable in and settle into, regardless of whether it's in anyway related to my art skills, or whether it's a "dream job". I've come to appreciate the simple things in life, and honestly, so long as I'm comfortable and happy, that's all I really want.
This forum has been a gem for me. Honestly, if not for finding this forum when I did, I might not even be here. I've been on forums in the past that are, quite frankly, very poorly managed. The admins here do a stellar job at creating an atmosphere that's friendly and open, and folks here are just great. I come from here laughing and smiling every time, and this going from a position last year of having been jobless, I lost my cat, and I had no-friends to speak of. Things have turned around for me in such a short space of time, I think it's even caught me off guard, and I'm still adjusting to it! It's great to have somewhere to come and have a good laugh, but also engage in more topical debates about anything; it's refreshing for me. It's something that was frankly missing from my life for too long. I'm as daft as they come, as you can probably tell by my many posts in the general convo thread, and I feel like glimmers of my old self are returning thanks to being a part of this forum, and also from gaining employment, which is a massive confidence boost.
I don't suffer so much with the OCD these days. It does express itself in odd little quirks, though it's nowhere near as bad as it was. I've had bouts of depression on and off over the past couple of years, and was laid off work from it at one point. The PA is only a small part of who I am, and for the most part, I don't let it get me down.
Overall, if someone had said to me that I'd be in this great position of just starting to move forwards in life again, surrounded by some lovely people (albeit on a forum) and with a great little job to boot, I'd have laughed in their face!

@Umiko If you're still convalescing about your PC related facepalm moment, I'll just tell you that the team captain for the Columbia National Football Team was struggling to put the captain's armband onto the vice-captain's arm, before he left the pitch.
He was struggling with an elasticated strip of material with velcro on it
And he's probably on about £50,000 a week as well...

I feel the need to ask what those quirks are. Feel free to say the biggest and worst is telling the cult lewder where to go.

Haha, nah, I don't mind
Usually these days it's just things like needing to have the volume on the TV set to an even number, or for things generally to be "even" and symmetrical. I'm picky about order and cleanliness (not to drastic levels like I used to be), but I really dislike clutter, and I like for things to look neat. Even in work, my colleague will just dump the envelopes into the mailbox and then when she's gone I organise them into size order and make sure they're all the right way up.
You know I get a kick out of telling the Cult Lewder where to go anyway

I haven't heard it first hand yet, but he tells me that his sneezes come in pairs, and he does a "double sneeze". Also, before he does his sneezes, he inhales air sharply through his teeth. Yesterday he even "swallowed" a sneeze!

@Neil.T is pretty amusing. I feel like I've divulged one of his most deepest and darkest of secrets, so I'd better enjoy myself whilst I can before he gets mad...
Did you know that @Neil.T is also obsessed with Lorraine Kelly and has a shrine dedicated to her in his room? I think it's her accent that does it...
He also likes to feed cats, but his problem is that he gives them too much - they look at him with their cute eyes, and he just crumbles, so they get more food. This is why if you go to Scotland all the cats there look like kegs with legs - it's @Neil.T giving them loads of food!
Did you know @Neil.T also volunteered as a test subject to ensure midge burgers pass for human consumption?
