My ex who left me two weeks ago just sent me a picture of us hugging. That's it. No message, or explanation of any kind.

[D.o.S.]

Well that's a hell of a way to fuck with someone's emotions. I'm sorry, dude.

feeling weirdly sad and forlorn, as well as lonely. it's not that i'm aching over the idea of leaving Pocatello--though it is nicer-looking, as is anywhere in the temperate zone, with a couple inches of freshly fallen snow on it--but i think it's because i always seem to be leaving places and never arriving at the place i wanted. hopefully C'ville (i have to master the native abbreviations) will be different...i think it will. but it's so sad re-taping cartons of my stuff that got packed away two years and change ago in California and haven't even been opened since then. i've had to develop a "STOP REMEMBERING THAT" protocol to put in place for the times it starts coming back to me. "this is one of the beer boxes i got at the corner store, where Lisa the Vietnamese lady worked who was always so nice STOP THAT." i hope someday my current life will make up for the ones i lost.

A few minutes ago, I was relaxing after studying for finals and playing some Team Fortress 2. A bunch of guys on all-chat were being really obnoxious, so I told them to shut the fuck up. Yeah, that wasn't the best/most polite way to go about it but whatever.

In response, one of them told me I should kill myself. I really hate that that's a thing that people have learned to say to people online. I understand that they probably don't actually want me to kill myself, but jesus that really made me angry. They weren't even like a preteen or anything like that. It was a fully-grown human being. How the fuck could anyone ever say that to someone?

It's my impression that a lot of people don't realize the gravity of some of the things they say due to how acceptable and widespread exaggeration is used in our culture's expression (also see: Louis C.K.'s bit on the word "hilarious"). People don't think and, especially on the internet, have an increasingly unlikely chance to take accountability for the things they say.

It makes me really angry, too, that people don't understand how demeaning and terrible a statement like that can be. Ugh.

There was an article a while back that I read about how our communication depends on cues from body language and facial expressions, and without being able to see those things people tend to not fully grasp the effect of what they say on another person, and also tend to exaggerate their statements more to be sure that their feelings are getting across (anger, etc).

But yeah, people suck.

Yeah, anonymity really brings out the worst in some people. I guess people just don't really think about the things they say, or care how it could be perceived by people. Just the lack of accountability people have for things is really terrible and disgusting.

The thing about body language is really interesting. I'd like to read that article.

i has a sad. today was the last time i'll get to play in person with rfurtkamp, and i'm going to miss him. it's really a weird space i'm in, wanting to go but being sad about going as well. i tried to make a home here in Pocatello, but it just didn't take root. sometimes i feel like it's that i failed, when really there just wasn't a place for me here. but it still hurts even if it doesn't make any sense to do.

i have so much yet to do before i can go, and it's all dependent on the folks at the job in Charlottesville getting stuff to me or getting stuff done at the right time. it's going to be a long week.
