			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><em>Hey again all who might for some strange reason be reading this.Well, I went to the shrink. Apparently I isolate myself from the rest of the world. I also have no guilt feelings at all. I guess I don&#8217;t have to worry about suffering from a guilty conscience. I also push myself too hard and get frustrated<br />
when I don&#8217;t get something right.<br />
And there I was, thinking I needed serious counselling against suicide or<br />
something, when those are my biggest problems.</p>
<p>I totally get the &#8216;isolate&#8217; part. I like being alone. It has a quality to it that being with someone just doesn&#8217;t have. I enjoy being by myself and thinking and just being. I don&#8217;t like having people around me all the time. And I find nothing wrond with that. Apparently, though, at the rate that I&#8217;m going, I&#8217;ll end up being a recluse. Which also has serious possibilities&#8230;</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t quite get what she means with the whole guilt idea. I&#8217;m afraid that I do have a conscience and more than enough guilt feelings, just not about other people&#8217;s situations or their problems that they caused. If they got themselves into serious problems, I&#8217;ll be sympathetic, but no way I&#8217;m gonna feel guilty about it. Cry a river, build a bridge and get over it!</p>
<p>As for pushing myself too hard, if I don&#8217;t push myself, I don&#8217;t work. And the reason I push myself so hard is because I know I can do it. I&#8217;m not about to set unrealistic goals for myself, but honestly. According to her, it&#8217;s okay now, but if I keep it up for too long, I&#8217;ll burn myself out. Hah! Me, burn myself out? I seriously doubt it. I might irritate the hell out of myself, but I won&#8217;t burn myself out. I&#8217;m not that stupid.</p>
<p>So there. Sorry, it wasn&#8217;t that interesting. Oh well.</p>
<p>I came across a brilliant site the other day, CrystalXP.net<br />
If you have nothing better to do, you should check it out. It has brilliant wallpapers, icons, screensavers, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><em>So here I am again. Not officially my first post, but my first post with anything you&#8217;d want to read in it.Well, you might not believe this, but some shrink I met thinks that I need counselling. I&#8217;m going tomorrow.  According to her, my social skills are underdeveloped and I spend all my time on my computer and books. Which, apart from school, is technically true, I guess.<br />
But I didn&#8217;t think it was that important. Also, apparently I think that I&#8217;m misunderstood and different from the rest of the world, which according to her isn&#8217;t true. But it is. I&#8217;m telling you. Who else do you know</p>
<ul>
<li>who is a white girl, but who&#8217;s best friends are all black?</li>
<li>who is interested in hip-hop, r&amp;b, pop, classic, gospel and rap?</li>
<li>who likes science-fiction, mystery, fantasy, thrillers, christian fiction and the classics?</li>
<li>who hates homework, but manages to be the best in class?</li>
<li>who lives and breathes computers where-ever possible when only a noob at programming?</li>
<li>who (don&#8217;t you dare laugh) writes twisted and more interesting versions of her life story in her head?</li>
<li>who enjoys writing poetry in the moonlight at an open window in the middle of the night?</li>
<li>who could actually list more of these kind of things&#8230;.?</li>
</ul>
<p>I told you so. If you do actually get me, email me please!!! I&#8217;d love to talk to you. Anyway, like I said, I have to go to the shrink tomorrow. I&#8217;ll keep you posted on that.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been really into a game called Planeshift for the past couple of months. Really excellent, by the way. I&#8217;ve started a writing a story in their forums called &#8220;Eylin&#8217;s First Tale&#8221; but I don&#8217;t feel like finishing it. I really don&#8217;t. You probably don&#8217;t care about this random fact, but this page is where I rant randomly, so whatever. Cry yourself a river, build a bridge and get over it.</p>
