Once in a while I buy a Cyberman action figure or maybe a Dalek bubblebath.

I have an example of all the available Cyberman types all but the current one (they never made a figure of the variant seen in The Wheel In Space).

I was feeling a bit down after burning myself so I thought I'd look into getting the new look Cyberman to join his plastic pals.

That's when I found out Character Options changed the scale of their figures to 5inch to 3.75 inch.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!????

 It's the Invasion of the CyberHobbits! Hide your mushrooms!!!

I've noticed that some of the more rapid Protestants like to label anything that isn't Protestantism -- be it non-Protestant Christianity or even seperate religions -- as a cult.

 Lol at "rapid Protestants."

 LOL! They're speedy.

Gotdang typos!

 Loved that show, wished that hadn't cancelled it. As an original Texan, I can attest that it was pretty spot on about our quirks.

The insects that scares me most are horseflies anything with that many legs and a saddle must give one pause for thought.

 Eh, they don't have a stinger or mandibles. Screw'em.

I like wasps and they only sting if they are provoked or if it's the autumn and they are bored and about to die.

Maybe they'd be tolerable if there were less of them, but they're everywhere. There isn't a place around the house, around the garage, or in various little spaces scattered across the property where one of their nests can't be found. 

 This shit works!

 I find it enjoyable using it actually.

Seriously, after the conversation that took place here, it can hardly be coincidence that two individuals used that same slur in this thread.  Clearly they are homoinsectophobes!

I liked the show, too, but I don't think it could have lasted much longer before it became a joke like The Simpsons.

 LOL...well over six months after.

EDIT: Whoa, C3PS was online in November? I thought he was long gone by the time I started visiting Off Topic.

I hate reading these filthy homosexual slurs!  Twice on a single page!  It's intolerable.  Obviously some people here have been reading OSC!

 I'm not sure what you meen .... there is nothing gay about sucking cock, heterosexuals go to KFC too you know :-D

I've sincerely wished I was dead for about 4 years now, and I'm getting very tired of living this way, and hope I don't for much longer.

And yes, I am aware that there are a thousand better things to do with a thought like that than post it on an internet forum about star wars, shoot me.

Honestly... being dead sucks or as my old mate Dorothy Parker wrote :

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Life is nothing but a death.  Going to die anyway.  Not enjoying life.  Starting to think it would be better to just skip all the mess and go straight to what is inevitably coming anyway.  End result would be the same.

What counts most in life is the journey. There are ups and downs in everyone's life, and even if the downs are farther down than most people's, keep on going and wait for an up. Things won't get better if you don't try to look at the positive and try to make things better (I know there isn't much you can do about your family situation, but you can still look at the positives and focus on something else to take your mind off that for a bit). I really don't know you well enough to give good specific advice, but don't give up so early in life.

I'll add you to my prayers for your mother and grandfather.

what RicOlie_2 says.

My family issues aren't even behind it.  It's just all me.  I've gone kind of off the deep end mentally in the last few years.  I don't really expect or plan on anything getting better.  Mentally I'm not really even capable of that.  I only haven't killed myself because I don't want to devastate my dad, and that's what will continue to stop me.  Recently separated from all my friends and my girlfriend.  Which is also not what's causing this, it's my own mental status.  But though they may not be the cause, it's certainly not helping at the moment.  Went from having 3 good friends and a great girlfriend to having nobody in a moment due to circumstances beyond anybody's control.  Again, this isn't the cause, I've been like this for years.  But it's certainly not helping matters.

Bollocks.

Life is much more than death.

It's novelty, it's weirdness, it's cheese footballs.

They don't look like footballs, they don't taste like cheese and are revolting and yet they are party food.

The whole spark of existence trapped in a conceptual art piece disguised as an ugly edible celebratory snack.

You are a bubble of chemicals caught in an explosion and yet you can feel despair. You are a miracle of probability mathematics, you've done the despair thing quite well (to be honest I find it a bit boring and gloomy after the first three decades) BUT!!

Try one of the other channels like curiosity... not too good for cats but you aren't a cat...I assume... (2014 cat's don't use the internet yet they just occupy the bits that aren't porn).

Or Cookery...! love a bit of short crust me!

The meaning of life *whispers* is there is no meaning so you can either get very cross or do what I do... MAKE MEANING!, invent rituals, make bread, plant vegetables, get fat and go on a diet, talk to beetles.

You have a blank sheet called your life, so you can write sonnets, do origami or are you just going to sit there giving yourself paper cuts?

A simple challenge, reinvent yourself, live and report back what you find.

Doesn't sound like something that's for me.

Then really try to look on the bright side, Possessed. Get yourself a hobby or something you can really get into to make life seem better. Maybe join some community group or something and make some friends. You sound like you need them now more than ever. Rather than blaming yourself or examining your mental state, however bad it may be, just work on improving yourself. Set some goals and work towards them so that you're thinking about the future and not getting stuck on the present and past.

 If your me isn't working try another one.

Meh

Your meh isn't the problem...your meh seems to be doing fine.

Imagine the you, you currently are as a set of clothes you are wearing that have holes in the wrong places and never really fitted.

Imagine a different you that fits better and is functional (the sort of you which wouldn't feel the need to yelp existentially on a Star Wars forum) put that you on for size.

Get the feel of it's walk, the tone of it's voice the wardrobe, does it ride a bicycle, does it drive a car, is it attractive to people you want enjoy friction with?

If not try another one there are about 13 of the buggers.

And sub-forms.

 Good point, I knew as soon as I did that it was a bad idea.

Doing it isn't the problem.

Feeling the need to is indicative of a problem worthy of greater contemplation.

There is is a you in there that clearly wants out. I personally can't blame it, it's stuck in the head of someone contemplating it's murder.

That's why I think the best course of action isn't suicide but renewal.

If you were dead set on death you wouldn't call for assistance, clearly you desire more options.

Your GP is also potentially useful. It could just be a chemical imbalance.

I wasn't so much calling for assistance as speaking my mind.  I would love nothing more than to be dead, but as I stated, I do not wish to do that to my father who just lost his wife and will probably lose his father and mother in law very soon.  So I'm just making due with what I can get.
