you talk too much
I’ve been feeling really depressed as of lately. My housemates won’t let me use the table, so I cannot draw nothing but sketches on my legs, which means that I cannot make illustrations for school, which means that I’m behind with my classes, which means that I’m getting more and more worried. I really tried to draw on my legs, but my back acts up after about thirty minutes. I need to buy a foldable table, but I also need help to carry it home, and people is busy, not their fault.
I don’t want to be with my housemates anymore, they won’t understand that being sociophobic is not something I can overcome by just being with people, and even like this I’m not the talkative type anyway. They think I’m just being an asshole to them while I just don’t find anything to talk about with them. Plus, I don’t want to be in the same room with them because they’re always smoking, doing drugs or cooking smelly stuff. Strong smells make me sick. I need to move alone, but this takes time. Plus the laptop is still under repair so I can’t work on websites or talk with friends as often as I want, and without a computer I can’t look for houses either.
Plus I won’t be able to see Jacopo for another two weeks. :<
BUT BUT BUT
the ep with Volkner and Flint has been announced for February 25 and I’M SO HAPPY
I just want to see them together doing stuff and teasing each other and I want to hear their voices and asfghjkasdl
The best part is that I know that even if I find them to be a bit different from how I imagine them to be I’m not going to be disappointed :D I just have fun shipping them and love their characters, that’s it
This also comes at just the right time, since I was already planning to make a shrine for them. It’s about a whole year I’ve been wanting to make a website about them and I’ve been working on it behind the scenes, but I was never satisfied with the result. It never seemed to live up to my expectations, yet I wanted to make something for them SO badly. After all, they are the only shipping I ever supported.
Then there was something that gave me the kick I needed to get started and finish everything with a strict deadline…which happens to fall after February 25, so I’ll have enough time to make the layout with a screencap from the episode and put a screencap gallery online and and and 8D
Talking about shrines, I’ve been playing Riviera: The Promised Land again. The idea was to write down Serene’s lines and make a shrine to her, but while I was playing I discovered that my favorite character in that game is really Malice. So…expect something about her in the near future. She really is a very interesting character.
The website will be named “No Future” and the layout will use this wonderful artwork of her. I still have to decide if I want this website to be a shrine or a fanlisting plus shrine.
Have a meme. Stolen from Irene, but since she skipped some questions I looked for the original and answered to some of the ones she left out, then followed her template, then got bored.
- One of your scars, how did you get it?
I got a cross-like scar in the middle of my forehead by running into the edge of a wall corner when I was three. My grandfather used to say we were similar because we both had a cross-like scar, but he got his in WWII…nevertheless, he used that as an ice-breaker to tell his life story when I was eleven, after about sixty years of silence. This scar now means a lot to me, as you can imagine. - What is on the walls in your room?
A Super Metroid poster. Only that, because my roommate sucks. In the future I want to cover the walls with paper so I can draw on them. - What does your cell phone look like?
It’s an old white and blue Nokia, that model everyone seems to have. It works just fine, so I’m not changing it. - Do you snore, grind your teeth, or talk in your sleep?
You can barely hear me breathing in my sleep. - What type of music do you listen to?
Any and every kind, but I seem to have a predilection for metal and alternative. - Do you know what time you were born?
3 AM. The night I was born, it was snowing. - What do you want more than anything right now?
To move in a house alone. I can’t stand my housemates anymore. - What do you miss?
I miss Jacopo, I miss my family :< - What is your zodiac sign?
Pisces. Same for my father, who also jokingly said we both have the typical traits of the sign. Weird. - What is your most prized possession(s)?
Probably my paintbrushes, or that Absol plushie I always keep on the table, or that 15-years-old Super Metroid poster, or the Isaac Clarke figure. - How tall are you?
168cm/5′5”. Can I stop growing now please? - Do you get claustrophobic?
Not really, just in my nightmares. - Do you get scared in the dark?
I actually like darkness. Not complete darkness, though. That’s really annoying, I always end up walking into chairs or tables or walls and getting freaked out XD - The last person to make you cry?
Jeel. But that’s really because I can get oversensitive at times, not really your fault, man. - What’s your worst fear?
Losing the ones that I love and losing my hands. Uh…for drawing, I mean. - What kind of hair/eye color do you like on the opposite sex?
Any kind of long hair makes me melt. Same for green eyes. - Where can you see yourself proposing?
In the most random place you can think of. Maybe as I cross a road. I AM THAT WAY. - Coffee or energy drink?
Coffee, but I’m very specific on how I want it. It must be highly caffeinic, very bitter, aromatic, not sour in the least, with no sugar, served in a very little cup, and espresso only. and before someone says it NO I’M A BIGGER COFFEE NERD THAN GODOT.

A MUG

Speck or arugula or both. :> - If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
haha, now I want a speck and arugula pizza
or sushi
or two fried eggs
or my mum’s grilled chicken
AND NOW I’M HUNGRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH - Favorite colors of all time?
The more I paint, the more I love colors…but I guess that my very favorite colors are crimson, blood red and black. And also that deep shade of purplish red that I call Brinstar red, but I think it’s a very dark cerise. - Have you ever eaten a goldfish?
I’m not a cat! - What was the first meaningful gift you’ve ever received?
Thus implying that there are gifts which are…not meaningful? :o - Do you have a crush?

I can dislocate everything in my body at will, which really helps in making me look even more of a freak. - Favorite clothing brand?

It could happen, I hope it never happens. - What is the best way to tell someone how much they mean to you?

They can both be sexy. - What annoys you most?
Boring, self-centered people. - Favorite quote?

I love restaurants
now laugh - Have you been out of the USA?
I guess this question should be rewritten for me as “have you been out of Italy”, and the answer would be yes, but just for a few hours and just a few miles beyond the border (talking about Switzerland here). - Your weaknesses?
I try too hard to establish a “tough” persona for myself while I let people stomp all over me without a single objection, I procrastinate too much, I’m either too soft or too hard with myself while I set sky-high standards for people, I’m very insecure, I’m clingy, I’m sociophobic and I lack consistency. - Do you think everyone out there has a soulmate?
Unless you’re a very very very very weird person, yes. - If you could get plastic surgery, what would it be?

Be weirded out, but I really don’t drink, so. - What do you want for your birthday?
A certain album, for a certain another album to come out and a t-shirt of that band

I tear off my lips, my tongue and the inside of my cheeks when I’m nervous. And I’m a procrastinator. - Are you a jealous person?

This question makes no sense at all! - What is your most embarassing CD on the shelf?
The Sims 2, because it shows that I like playing with dolls. - Do you agree with friends with benefits?
It’s just an excuse to get everything you want from people and never grow up. - Do looks matter?
I’m not sure. If I were with a beautiful person which was butt-ugly on the outside, would I still be with them? I’d probably start to like their looks too. - How do you release anger?
I never need to. I’m never really angry. - Would you rather gain 58 pounds or lose 58 pounds?
Gain 58 pounds of muscle, absolutely. - What’s your main goal in life?
Living. :> - What was your favorite toy as a child?
I had a lot of favorites. There were the dinosaur figures, especially the parasaurolophus which was named “The Evil One” and was the main villain in all my games. He had two henchmen, a cheetah and a hippo. The cheetah was smart and fast, the hippo was really stupid. Then there were the Polar Bear and her two sons, who were often kidnapped; the heroes were lions and penguins. I also had this plush penguin named Pablo and a plush parrot which I liked a lot. Come to think of it, I had a whole alternate universe going on there. - How many numbers are in your cell phone?
Ten or twenty. Not a lot. - Do you use sarcasm?
Only sometimes. - Mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese?
Mashed potatoes, I hate cheese in my pasta. And I don’t even like for my potatoes to be mashed. - What do you look for in a guy/girl?
Why should I look for something. - What are your nicknames?
Everyone calls me Rosy, and as Cercatesori put it, “dubiousdisc is the most ignored nickname ever”. - Favorite super power?
I want the power to make everything I can imagine real. - What are your favorite TV shows?
tee-vee? - What’s the best way to deal with your enemies?
If they’re like fictional baddies, beat’em up. If they’re real life enemies, come back at them when they less expect it. - What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Chocolate, but I’m very specific on this one too; it must be bitter and strong, not milky. - Do you have all your fingers and toes?
FOR LUNCH. - Do you have a computer in your room?

Fast foods suck, unless you’re talking about kebabs, but I really spend so much time eating in them that you’d hardly call them fast foods. - Favorite restaurant?
The Chiyoda :D - Do you like sushi?
FUCK YES. - Watch TV today?
hahahahahahah - Play any musical instruments?
I used to play the guitar and the piano, now I just sing when I can. - Republican or democrat?
Neither of them, I don’t recognize myself in any party though I’m very much of a leftist and in the end everyone knows I’m a communist at heart. - Kisses or hugs?
HUG ME
HUG ME

I’ve been reading a lot of comics as of lately, and now I’m re-reading them
and again and again and again
my laptop is not here - Describe your love life.
I’ve had a boyfriend for a few months once, then Jacopo. I breaked up with him once, but we ended up together again a few months after that. He’s really the best guy I could imagine myself with, wish I could spend more time with him.
by the way this is the first entry to be tagged BOTH “oh god no” and “yesz”

Favorite super power?
I want the power to make everything I can imagine real.
HEY
QUELLO LO AVEVO GIA’ PENSATO IO
XDDD
No davvero, ci ho pensato su un sacco e tutti i pro e i contro, limitazioni, applicazioni ed è una gran figata.
Comunque, spero che possa andare meglio con i tuoi rommates, ma almeno il tavolo potrebbero lasciartelo usare, perché non puoi usarlo? DDD:
“Dai faccio belle arti devo disegnare POSSO USARE IL TAVOLO?”
“No.”
“ç___________________________ç”
X°D
Se hai bisogno fai un fischio, k?
Blue, February 1, 2010 - 10:07 pm
Sorry you’re having roommate troubles. Have you specifically asked them for the table and said it is to do your homework?
Denise, February 2, 2010 - 8:27 am
Also, what is speck?
Denise, February 2, 2010 - 8:48 am
Blue ma che contro dovrebbero esserci :o il peggio che può succedere è immaginare qualcosa di brutto o pericoloso, ma puoi sempre pensare a qualcosa che lo sconfigga 8>
eh è che dicono ANCHE NOI ABBIAMO BISOGNO DEL TAVOLO solo che loro hanno anche la loro stanza con l’altro tavolo ed io ho bisogno di star da sola e loro stanno sempre sul tavolo comunque
stanotte mi è andata bene ed ho potuto disegnare, però
dubiousdisc, February 2, 2010 - 5:20 pm
Denise: they always say they need the table too D8
speck…is a kind of salty smoked ham from northern Italy/southern Austria. delicious. :>
dubiousdisc, February 2, 2010 - 5:36 pm
Just two things:
1) I didn’t realize my meme was missing some questions. I seriously did not XD how did you figure out? Maybe I’m just REALLY dense.
2) your Parasaurolophus and its henchmen reminded me of the Dorombo gang for some reason, shoot me
Irene, February 3, 2010 - 5:19 pm
I was setting up the list as an html auto-numbered list and after a while I noticed the numbers were off :o and saw you skipped some questions.
EVERYTHING REMINDS YOU OF THE DOROMBO GANG
although they were all males (what a surprise)
dubiousdisc, February 3, 2010 - 5:28 pm
Well, the person I got it from had those numbers and I didn’t even bother checking XD but I see the ones missing now.
MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
Irene, February 3, 2010 - 9:13 pm
I’m sorry that you’re living in such a bad situation with your housemates… I think I can quite understand how you’re feeling since I tend to act in a very similar way with people. I hope you’ll be able to move alone.
Per il tavolo - scusa se passo all’italiano ma avevo iniziato a scrivere questa parte in inglese e poi mi sono persa all’interno della mia stessa frase - una soluzione temporanea leggermente più comoda che disegnare tenendo il foglio sulle ginocchia potrebbe essere trovare qualcosa di rigido da mettere sul letto e utilizzare il letto come “tavolo” stando seduta per terra, non è che sia il massimo della comodità nemmeno questo ma per la schiena forse è un po’ meglio che disegnare sulle gambe. Se la trovi un’idea stupida ignorami pure “xD ma leggere quello che hai scritto mi ha fatto venire in mente che ho fatto così per un paio d’anni perché avevo la scrivania occupata dal monitor del pc vecchio che pesava circa quaranta chili.
(stealing your meme btw)

LO SAI CHE NON E’ DAVVERO UNA PESSIMA IDEA 8>
dubiousdisc, February 7, 2010 - 5:43 pm
I’m learning the same hard lesson here at work - having chosen a role that places me in direct contact with clients hoping that I would overcome my timid, “fearful chick”- like personality. It’s not working, obviously. But hey, I’m still 27 - years old, I’ve still more than enough time to correct this error - mostly by making even worse mistakes…
Oh, and I so wanted to comment your 23/01 post on Angeltower, but the poor thing behaves like it has run out of space for more comments. Or maybe it doesn’t want me to post anything. Or both.
Anyhow it was nothing important, just that little stream of consciousness which would have led me to my beloved horrorific and paranoid manga/anime/visual novel :P°°°…
JaN, February 9, 2010 - 6:09 pm
You know, I’m beginning to think that it’s not fair that we have to feel like we have a problem. I mean, I know I have a problem when it’s pure phobia and not just shyness, but I’m tired to hear people tell me that I can talk freely, no one’s going to bite me and so on. It’s no less disrespectful than telling a talkative guy to shut up. Sometimes I think that it’s really people who want to see a problem in our way to be, and that we feel like we have a problem only because of them.
Comments close after 14 days as an antispam measure, but you can post on the current entry anyway. I want to read your thoughts :>
