With Larry pulling a "Wendy Carlos" and doing a sex change, and Andy pretty much not doing anything at all anymore, even though there are so many rumors about future projects, I strongly belive that Bounds and Matrix trilogy are pretty much the only records of the bro... siblings skills at movie directing and/or writting. Besides, I might be wrong, but V for Vendetta's final script was not penned by the two.

I hate that I'm working monday to monday, every day, be it from home or from the office, and I've been in the office from yesterday at 7:30 AM until now - it's 5:11 AM of the following day, and there's no way I leave before 6pm today. AND... I'm not being paid for the overtime because the customer of the project I'm working for dosen't want to, so! I guess I'll have to sue...

I'll be able to play Mario Kart DS this weekend, so anyone who has the game and wanna play, just add me to MSN messenger, that's my username here, at hotmail dot com (copy and paste it, because it's not too easy to spell - I didn't write the e-mail here to avoid spam). Add me to MSN and whenever I'm online and not busy, I can play.

I've done some research, and I've found out that this headon thing is merely a placebo.

Now, back to the airplane crash situation. After some brief investigations, it is known that the american pilots piloting the Legacy jet were on a unspecified altitute (37 feet, when the tower clearly specified an even numbered altitute for the Legacy, either 36 or 38 thousand feet). At a certain point, the pilots ignored this, and turned off some instruments so the ground personal and the towers wouldn't be able to see what they were doing. Unfortunally, this also caused for the jet not be properly located by the Boeing instruments. The 737-800 pilot was able to see the Legacy jet for a fraction of a second before impact, and rapidly climbed, saving the lifes of the 7 people aboard the jet, but he was not able to save his own, and the other 154 people aboard the 737-800. The Gol Boeing airplane was hit badly, started to fall vertically and got into supersonic speeds, the fuselage desintegrated in the air and people were thrown out into the air out of distances of 20 km. Some hit the ground alive. Some fell into the air in small pieces.

The "The New York Times" reporter aboard the airplane wrote an article about the crash, saying how sorry everyone felt about it, and CLEARLY showing that he knew the altitute, as he claimed to be able to see the altimeter some minutes before the two planes colided. SADLY, giving an interview to NBC, he changed his mind. He said he had no idea what was the altitue of the airplane, but he said he was pretty sure the Legacy jet was right and the Boeing was wrong, and he claimed the fault to be of the tower control. He, in no moment during the interview, showed any remorse or regret, and never mentioned the people who died. He claimed, more than once, that our country's air controllers are incompetent, that it was their fault, that Brazil is a dangerous place to fly, and that he was afraid about the fate of the american pilots.

It is absolutely unfortunate that he decided to blame the ground control, seeing that it was OBVIOUSLY not the case. We have radar control over ALL the country's airspace, mostly due to territorial protection (long story). The average of accidents per million take offs are 0.8, zero point eight at Brazil, way below the world average of 1.25. I hate a lot of things about this country, but when someone decides to badmouth us and LIE in a national television network, that makes me pissed. He obviously dosen't care about the 155 people killed.

When I'm alone? That's no good for me. I'm as quiet and disconnected when I'm alone as when I'm in social situations.


But I bet you have all your "guards" down when you're by yourself. You're relaxed. That's what you have to capture.

I feel like I have nothing more to add to what I've said so far. I just want to repeat this: please seek profesional help. It did wonders for me.

I used to have a needle phobia as a small child, and as I had to take more and more injection shots, my fear got worse and worse. But the age of 10 I had to take some blood samples, and I felt like I was in death row, counting the days to it. Time went by, and this phobia persisted on me, even though I didn't have to take a single injection for years. By the age of 17 I had to, and I was kinda afraid. I controlled my fear out of another fear: the fear of embarassing myself by showing my first fear (complex, isn't it?). So, I stood there and then... that was it? It wasn't as painful as I considered it to be as a child. My phobia vanished that day. Now if I have to take blood samples or shots or anything like that, I have no fear at all. Now I know that the pain I face is not that big. I have no need to worry about it.

When I started doing stand up, and then now when I started to present myself in cosplay presentations and contests on anime conventions, I always thought I would mess up, I would do terrible on stage, I would forget the whole thing, and that fear dominated me until I got there. When I climb the stage, I am in control of my fear. Things are not that bad. And you know what? I've bombed. I've messed up some times. I had problems during a 30 minute cosplay presentation in which the audio started to jump and the whole thing was set to a big disaster. And all those times, you know what's the worse that happened? Nothing. Nothing bad happened. I'm still alive. People watching couldn't care less. Even if things go wrong, it's okay.

That's the same for social situations. First, you have to dominate your fear by facing it. Seeing how it's not that bad. And being yourself - that dosen't mean you're "faking it" or being someone you aren't, but you're restraining yourself from the things you want to say, you want to do. I bet you refrain from mentioning stuff you consider geeky or nerd-like - well, those are part of what you are (and as a matter of fact, of what we ALL here are), and you should be able to talk about it with no fear. Be yourself, really. Don't be afraid.

And, also, what is the worse thing that can happen? Think about it for a while: if some girl you are not interested comes to you and says she wants to go out with you on a date, you won't ridicule her. You won't do anything cruel. You'll try to reject her request the most politely way possible, and even feel a bit special for being someone that some girl wanted. You'll probably befriend her. So, why would someone behave in a different way? Why do we always judge that people are meaner than we are, tha people will hurt us in the most horrible ways? If someone has hurt you before, it dosen't mean everyone is like that. And that person probably didn't do it on porpouse, it was something that happened in a moment in which you took it in a bad way, in a way that hurted you.

So, there. Seek profesional help. Let your parents know you're doing this, they'll help you the best way they can. Be yourself, and I mean, BE yourself. Be the same person you are when you're alone. Don't censor your thoughts for fear of being misunderstood or ridiculed. And relax, remember, nothing terrible will happen if you try to be more social.

Starkiller, the letter examples I gave you were only related to myself, I didn't say you had to follow those, it was just an example.

1- I wanted to know if you feel nervous or unconfortable while at your job, because your social anxiety could be related to two things: either you're unconfortable with people - in which case you'd not feel so great at yout job - or you're unconfortable in situations you don't know how to behave or don't have full control of the situation. Since you've told me you've been working there for 8 and a half years, I'd belive the second option is the most probable one.

As for 2 and 3, I can sense you have a tendency to isolate yourself, as you are confortable in your present inconfortability. You are suffering for being away from social events that make you anxious, but it's a suffering you know, a suffering you don't have to share with others, so you choose to be like that. Apart from the professional help I'd recomend you to seek, what I'd ask you: try going out with some friends, including that friend of yours, and just be yourself, don't compare yourself with others because that is always an unfair comparison - everyone is different, and in our minds difference = inferiority, and try not to control what you do and say. You're obviously a smart and articulated person, so you should have no problems there.

About that isolation period of yours, that you're planning: I'm not sure what you're thinking about achieving with that... What will change? Is it only for the stomachache?

And about that, your stomachache, I'd continue seeing a doctor about it, it could be caused by your anxiety, but it could be doing some actual phisical harm. A regular doctor could be able to help you on that.

If you hate the headache, then it goes into the "things we hate". If you love it, it goes into the "things we love". If you don't hate it or love it, and simply feel like saying you have a headache, this is the right place. If you want to edit, fansub and distribute your headache through torrent, the Fan Edit section is the place you should post.

You know, starkiller, I had, and somewhat still have, the same problems you face. For me, the cause is far too complex to mention here, but it turned into a point where I chose to seek professional help, and I think you should do the same. Doooon't just jump into conclusions, like saying "oh I have social anxiety and depression and this and that", and don't go jumping into drugs. Seek a professional therapist first. A cognitive psychological therapy can help most cases without the use of any drugs, and belive me, you don't wanna take those things that mess up with your nervous system, specially for yourself, as you described phisical symptoms you have that are caused merely by your own state of mind.

You know what I've changed in my mind so I would stop worrying too much about myself on social situations and about my life?

a) I don't give a fuck to what people think about me. If they say it out loud, I'll sue their asses, so there.
b) I only hang out with people I want to, at the places I want to. I've learned to say "no" without feeling bad.
c) This won' apply for everyone, but: I feel more and more that I'm really asexual. I don't really care about screwing hot girls every day.
d) Apreciate real friendships over popularity or "being cool". That goes well with (a) and (b).
And... e) Alcohool is not that bad!

Apart from the obvious advice - seeking professional assistance - I'd like to know a bit more about yourself so I can advice you on some other things.

1- How confortable do you feel at your job?

2- Do all social situations make you unconfortable?

3- Do you live all by yourself? (a mere yes or no is ok, some people don't wanna say too much about their private life)

Just mentioning something at random here, since this IS the YIYF's long bridge club... There was this terrible air accident this friday, a plane coming from Manaus, a city at the north of the country, in the middle of the amazon, going to Brasilia (the capital, at the center of the country) had a mid-air colision with a Legacy air jet, severily damaging the 737-800 (which was delivered by Boeing a couple of weeks ago) and crashed almost horizonatally into the middle of the forest, killing 155 people among passengers and crew. The Legacy jet, with about 7 people aboard, was able to safely land in a nearby airport. The Legacy, which had 6 americans (including a New York Times reporter and the two pilots) and 1 brazillian was going back to the United States. They were flying on an unauthorized path and turned off some of the equipaments which showed their radar position and planes nearby so they could fly above their approved altitute.

What makes me angry is that this accident was absolutely avoidable, caused by the ignorance of the pilots (which were doing a demonstration to possible buyers and to the reporter who was doing a story on the airplane) and it happened for an air company I always fly with in and support, which had a 100% safety record until now. My praiers go to the families and to the 155 who perished

Hehe, ironic you say that when the round I won was the second.


Consider that I was driving with a kart I was not really used to, and without drifting. The third one was really challenging because I did the best I could.

Unfortunally I'm only able to play through wi-fi during some weekends, when I go back to my parents home, where there's a wi-fi network. I don't have a wi-fi connection nor windows xp at my own place, the wi-fi network at my job is out of limits for videogames, and I was forced to uninstall the wi-fi connector from my work computer for obvious reasons.

Because the real thing makes me kinda sick to my stomach. Plus, I drink a flavored soy milk, which isn't that bad. Also, I attend to a lot of anime conventions, and it's some sort of a mix between a running gag and a tradition drinking flavored soy milk on those places.
