    It doesn't sound silly. :) I do similar things..when I feel hurt.. I want to know I can still breathe and feel something, or even get turned on for a moment, by a thought or a fantasy. It's how I know I'm still here, I guess. It just takes me a long time to get there.

    Ohh my book. Haha. To put it broadly, it deals with themes like technology vs. nature, ritual vs. progress, mind vs. heart, balance. It's fantasy, with political and romantic themes. The characters were originally based on people I actually know -but the character based on my 8w7 sx ex, ended up being exactly like me (e-type included)..oops. The others were fairly consistent with the original though. Characters are my favorite part, though the world-building and magic is there too. Do you read much?

    I have associated with some wild people too. But yeah.. the bulk of my MAJOR problems is my illness..though heartbreak also kills. I don't believe that my problems are "worse" than others though, necessarily. I mean..sure.. I've been ACTUALLY traumatized, and someone needs to understand that when hearing about decisions I made in the past when the shape of my brain was literally altered from trauma, and not be suspicious of me because I might do similar things today. But, as long as that is understood, I feel like..anyone's greatest pain, is the greatest pain they have... and the suffering they endured can be relatable to me, even if someone "judging" the trauma on a grand scale, might think it is "lesser." So I don't really measure problems like "mine are worse than yours' with people. I also know that no matter how much I have suffered, I still can't withstand heartbreak and rejection. No amount of suffering and trauma prepares me for that.

    Actually, mechanical engineering sounds very cool to me. :) I am always fascinated by anything that people do with their hands, and I understand that engineering requires some attention to detail and mathematical prowess that I notably lack..so to me that feels like magic. Do you weld? What sort of things do you work on? Also that's sweet it's a family business. Working for strangers who don't care about you is crap. I love my family and I'd love to be able to work with them. People under-emphasize family so much in society now. Working in the family trade used to be THE THING to do. I can see how that's limiting, but at the same time at least you grow up with these principles and become accustomed to them and trained in the mindset since birth, so in that sense it's more efficient.

    I'll deal with agents once I have a solid draft in my hand. I have a few people who said I could bring it to them, and I don't want to contact htem with a, "hey, in a few months I might..." .. I want to walk in with a product. For now my head is in another planet. :)

    Nice! What field are you working in (if its not too personal)?

    Yeah, life has thrown me one thing after another. No shortage of challenges and obstacles. I can't even imagine what life would be if it were easy, or even mildly easier. I'm so used to it by now, though, that it has to hit me pretty hard for me to even notice. I guess that's part of how I mistyped at 8. ;P So you probably know what i Mean. :p

    That's sad about the engagement. Sorry to hear it. I have this problem with the "Plenty of fish" concept.. my heart gets so stuck on something that it can be hard for me to budge. But I suppose it's pretty easy once I've either been rejected or seen that NOTHING I can do will make it work. It's just hard at a certain point when I'm willing to fight, throw everything away, do ANYTHING.. that is , in some ways, harder that swallowing the disappointment after its over.

    Haha.. yeah.. I think DiamondDays is a bit more catchy than 10050101.. don't you? :D Also that would be a bitch to mention.

    You know I haven't heard of her before? I am listening to her now. I really like what I'm hearing!! Thanks for the reference. :)

    It's alright. My novel is almost finished being drafted (and edited a bunch of times over). :D Life is a struggle as usual, but if it weren't I might miss the fight. How are you?

    Haha. What was the alt?
    It would be sad if you weren't DiamondDays. That name is classic.

    Tusen tack! Här i Helsingfors man är spärrad av dom finlandssvenska jävlar. Språkkunskap består fast man pratar inte svenska. (TBH, it took me a good 5 minutes to write the sentences above, because I had to google four words.) Isn't 8w9 called "the bear"? That sums up my impression. I know a couple of 9w8's but no core 8s - not that I know of. It would be super interesting to have a real convo with an 8, cause it's hard to imagine a situation where you actually don't have to worry about offending the beliefs etc. of the other person. It's sad that so few actually want to discuss things without letting their feelings blur their input, or how they react. Do you know any other 8s? What kind of things offend an 8?

    It's Hyvää joulua! Even if it's a bit dated, I take it as a thoughtful and friendly gesture. Thank you.
    Sköt om dig!

    Haha. Jag märkte att du hade varit i min profil två gånger. Jag valde bara skoja med dig och veta hurdana 8 är. Och visa hur super min svenska är. *learning impulse control*

    So far the subforum seems to be in relatively decent hands. Couple mishaps and stereotypes dished out but all relatively quickly dealt with.

    You said what I was doing would be ineffective. From where I stand, it's already done some work.

    So you love mechanical engineering huh? What about it? Have you considered any other careers?

    I'm currently on the path of microbiology and am considering minoring in economics -- I want the flexibility of pursuing the medical school path whilst still have the knowledge and opportunity to pursue my entrepreneuerial ideas. But I'm open to other ideas as well, I've recently entertained the idea of computer science/engineering and it might be cool, considering it involves a lot of design, experimentation, and there are theoretically endless applications and boundaries. But it is the hours of typing tedious code hidden away in a cave that perturbs me.

    Hey DD,
    I was wondering... do you find you're pretty slow-moving and sometimes slow to understand situations or problems? Are you pretty slow-talking as well? Laconic?

    I know the typical way of the ENTP is to be fast-talking, fast-thinking, fast-moving.

    Aww! You've been busy studying? And now it took me forever to reply haha, I haven't had internet for like 2 weeks!

    Yeah I guess so, I mean the weather must be pretty much the same! Though in Ireland it sometimes feels even colder than in Finland, it's weird, even though it's just like 1 celsius degrees or something. The wind goes right through you here!

    Pet Shop Boys right? Haha, I didn't even remember that song! Had no idea people were that much influenced by the song.
