RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

I simply have to accept the reality and STOP.

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

I think it served its purpose.

Thanks.

RE: Anonymous messages

Being here really helped me sort some things out in my head. It was really helpful.

It was the same 7-8 years ago when I was a member of CS for the first time. I was so confused about what I wanted next and spending some time here, reading the threads, talking to people, etc. actually cleared out some things for me.

And now - again. I was in some state of mess and confusion when I came here - some things ended and I had no idea what I wanted and where I was going and - after being here for a while - I have much clearer picture about myself and future.

Sometimes, you go somewhere looking for one thing and find another.

RE: Anonymous messages

There are a lot of people from Ireland and you can really meet people, make friends, even meet someone. It's different for me.

There aren't many men in my area (none of them on the forums and blogs) and after thinking a lot I came to the conclusion that I simply started lacking courage to meet men from the internet living in another country. Too many complications. And the internet changed. People online changed. I cannot trust so easily any more...

Pen-palling, just for the sake of talking to people worldwide, again, isn't fun to me any more. It requires a lot of time and started to seem pointless. Even here - on CS - I exchanged long messages with people who seemed nice, but then - what's the point? Spending hours replying to someone I will never meet? It used to be interesting for me in the past, but now - it's only... some obligation and pressure.

So, I think this is the best solution for me now.

RE: Eurovision

I didn't watch the semifinals...

RE: Welcome To Lookins Place.......

@Lookin

So, you will stay a mystery man forever.

I hope your health is better now. I remember that you said you were going to some operation...

The Cyrillic script cannot be used here, as well as other scripts. Just the English alphabet. But, thanks for trying.

To be honest - I myself don't remember what I wrote - 4 months ago. Neither I remember what other people wrote. I only have some vague overall impression of them and that one is probably pretty unreliable. Until you meet someone in real life and spend some time with that person - you cannot know them, really. Even Facebook, chatting, telephone calls, video chats - that's not enough...

I was a member of forums for many many years and I know - from personal experience - that people simply GET TIRED from forums after some time. Still, forums are very addictive places and it's hard to leave once you get used to one of those "virtual cafes". So, people get stuck in some "I'm bored and I'd like to leave, but I can't" situation and that makes them frustrated. So they start fighting over nothing, gossiping, being angry most of the time... It ruins the atmosphere for other people, especially new members who have no idea what's going on. Everyone should take a break every now and then for a while.

And - it's good to have various similar places to belong to. If you are a member of at least two similar forums, you cannot get so attached to just one and you don't take that one so seriously.

RE: If you could live in any country, where would you like to live and why?

Some nice warm place, but not humid.

RE: Female profile pictures

I think you are right - if someone searches for a partner - it's better to post at least one photo of their whole figure.

Film Recommendations

Thank you all for posting!

I will check all the films later.

You can mention any film - doesn't have to be somemusical.

Everything is OK - action, crime, love stories, science fiction, thrillers... Something you watched and liked.

RE: Anonymous messages

I agree.

That's why I blocked everyone this time. I really enjoy having fun on forums and blogs, but I'm not at all interested in reading nonsense about people living thousands of miles away from me I know nothing about and will never meet in my life. It's better to stay away from such things. They can only ruin your mood.

Film Recommendations

I searched the forums, but all threads about films are very old, so I decided to open a new one.

Do you have any film recommendations? Any genre, new films or old - doesn't matter...

I watched "La La Land" a few days ago and it was a nice musical.

RE: Welcome To Lookins Place.......

Lookin, why don't you post the photo in your profile?

I always imagine you with a mullet hairstyle, beard and moustache.

RE: My New Kitten

It's been cheerful there!

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

"Black Mirror" is getting better.

True, I heard it was your 115. birthday a few days ago! Happy birthday!!!

RE: My New Kitten

I know... Me too...

How many cats do you have now?

RE: Anonymous messages

I know. I sound completely foolish even to myself.

RE: Anonymous messages

Thank you.

I'm not in negative moods, I just lost interest in things I found VERY interesting in the past. I really liked to meet new people online (male, female, all countries - just to make friends) and the interest just disappeared. So, now I have many of those people lingering, writing, sending messages, asking why I went silent and I don't know what to do tell them. This makes me feel bad, but I can't force myself into the old mood...

Everybody around me thinks I'm foolish for worrying so much about some virtual people, so I had to write this somewhere.

RE: Anonymous messages

This wasn't the message to CS people, but some other people I met elsewhere.

My blocking settings don't allow anyone to message me here, so I'm free from unwanted attention and can have fun on the forums and blogs undisturbed.

RE: Why are there few people of color in CS forums and blogs?

Yes, you did.

RE: My New Kitten

What an adorable kitty!

I'm so envious!!!

I'm still catless since my cat died...

RE: Anonymous messages

Dear many anonymous people worldwide,

I simply don't feel like exchanging PMs and e-mails, chat or talk to anyone at the moment. I know that there are dozens of e-mails and messages waiting, I deleted my Facebook profile to prevent constant messaging, there are unread messages on Whatsapp, but I just can't. Whenever I think that I MUST reply to all those people living all over the world, I feel like running away. I cannot maintain all those private contacts at the moment. They exhaust me. I want to have fun on forums and don't get involved into other people's private life stories, I don't want to talk about myself, I don't want to read/listen about others... I can't. I used to like this soooooo much in the past - meeting new people, making new friends all around the world, learning new things... But now - I'm in some phase when I just want to be left alone. I know I SHOULD be more responsible about this, but I simply can't. I'm sorry... Hopefully, this will change... some day ... soon...

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

We can take all CS forums/blogs members as a staff and call our spaceship "CS Enterprise".

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

Congratulations!

I got VERY exhausted by so many useless virtual contacts, that I lost interest in love. (At least that is how I'm feeling at the moment).

I think I'm going to take a break from thinking about love for a while.

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

Sounds difficult to pronounce!

I'm fine, thanks. I hope you are, too.

It's good to be back.

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

I don't think so... I'm afraid to watch episode 2...

Yes! To the end of the universe!

Asteriana comes from Asteria (the goddess of falling stars).


Deedee (or SlainteMhaithx) , how do you pronounce your new nickname? Does it mean anything? It seems so complicated!

RE: From the evidence here, not many people r really looking for partners on Cs !!!

No.

RE: Current Thoughts (Cont)~~

I started watching "Black Mirror" yesterday. I cannot get the pig out of my head all day long.

RE: Facebook---dating/introduction service....

I deleted my account, but I wonder if that application would be worth trying...
