Considering the limitations that forums have, I try to pay attention to the use of emotes. Humans are very, very visual creatures, and one's facial expression and body language can completely alter how a sentence is taken. It's something that just can't be mirrored in text alone. Emotes are a good, if still inadequate, way to get more of that across. -shrugs- As are actions like these. A lot of little details we tend to register without being able to... pick them out to explain with quite as much ease.

not crying for well over 5 years is in no way a lucky thing. It's quite horrible really. Family members die, nothing. It can quite often make me feel empty, or memorially barren.

yeah.. emotes and actions or sort of necessary to get the right message across on-line. -shrug- But I'll drop this topic now.

[Asami]

I know its my fault. Lol

[Ducky]

If you know it's your fault, could you try and not get upset at me when I'm not saying anything to get upset over? D:

[Gallagher]

That I can certainly understand. -nod- But, opposites do tend to envy one another. Human nature and all of that.

Asami- I wasn't putting further blame on you, I was shifting the conversation from your habits to my view on the situation as a whole. You asked for a subject change, without jumping into the one that already happened, so I provided the shift for you. I guess I'm the only one that appreciates smooth conversational shifts like that?

[Ducky]

I can't cry, no matter how hard I may try, or want to :/

it was a rather subtle change, and easily mistaken not to be a change XD

[Asami]

I'm far from upset? Why would you think that?
I'm just really busy atm and my friend is over and bad stuff happened with her and I'm trying to make her feel better...

[Asami]

I can't read that much sorry gall I only can read why the replies are after me if that. I'm trying but I'm so busy. Some really horrible stuff just happened.
If you care ill keep you posted.

There was a point where I could hide it away. But my necessary self introspection kind of destroyed the little control I have and now a great many things can stir up my emotions.

I think I may have liked it better when I fooled myself into believing I didn't need it. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I'm a Libra, I demand balance. . . not that it works.

-Stare-
Oh, sorry OxO
I got my uh, 'evening' breakfast .

[lnspire]

Two evening breakfast eaters in here.. O.o *giggles* I like breakfast any time of day.

If you're really busy and your friend really needs you perhaps you should shift your focus to him/her for now? You can chat with us any time.

This was starting to take the direction of when you get upset, with calling your jokes lame and so on. But I was talking about more in general. It has happened a lot on here, and sue to happen on Zan as well.

[Gallagher]

Aha, it seems that way. A bit of a habit of mine, I suppose. It's a comfort to me, subtle shifts like that. It allows for acknowledgement of the feelings, and the request, while not making the agreement to follow them so obvious that it's like the entire conversation has been uprooted... A good thing to keep the guilt away.

Given the choice, I would rather cry all the time than never, but there are always times that I wish the opposite were true.

Asami, dear, if you're trying to help your friend... My suggestion would be for you to get off of the site and give her your full attention.

Inspire- Virgo here, not that I'm well acquainted with what that really means. My bio mother is a Gemini, though, and believe me when I say that it shows.

I've yet to get my breakfast, Misfit.

[Ducky]

I think i'd prefer it as I am, than to be crying all the time. the lack of crying and emotions can come in useful at times.

[lnspire]

If I were to cry all the time I don't know if I could ever get over anything. I have been to that point and it was anything but functional and healthy. I don't view it as a strength to have everything effect my health.

I concur for my gemini mother as well. <w<" Virgos... they are always great conversationalists to say the least. Quick witted, sharp and love to reason, the typical ones anyway. =P I haven't read too much on signs, just when I learn of someones I get curious and love to make the application to see how 'aligned' to their signs they are.

I'm still eyeing the eggs to scramble with some chocolate. =D

[Ducky]

chocolate scrambled eggs...? That's genius! @_@
