Chit-Chat: In the midnight hour, she cries because she's sad and alone and just a little pathetic.

I didn't really want to spoil anyone's mood here, but I feel horrible right now. I found out one of my old high school "classmates" (we were in the same class one year talking often, several years since that happened) passed two weeks ago due to brain cancer at the age of 20.

I don't really know what to feel, mix of sadness and fear is all I can say. It's nearing midnight so good night everybody.
 
The cat litter thing actually works wonders. And it's much easier than trying to pull yourself out of a rut, trust me.

I remember when my uncle killed himself. For a bit I was overcome with unexplainable sadness, but then my therapist talked to me and told me about some near-death experiences people have had with leaving their bodies and whatnot. After that I really have no correlation with death and violent sadness, because… it was finally explained to me.

The sadness I felt was the fear of the unknown for his existence, and now that I feel that he exists among us without his shell, I'm fine. :)
 
Well, that turned somber fast.

Somber fast.
Samba fast.
Everlast
Breathless task
Insufferable math
Awkward laugh

What do you guys do to cope with awkward moments?

If I'm chatting with somebody online, then I would pretend that I'm not paying attention and try to sweep it under the rug. xD;; In real life, though, it all depends on the level of awkwardness. Most of the time, I'd respond with "okay, let's move on."
 
If some one does something awkward, I usually make light of the situation by doing something even more awkward. That way it will ease the situation and make the person feel better about the moment [:
 
Good guy elhero. c:

I usually laugh and pat them on the back in real life. I can get away with that without making people hate me, for some reason. . .

Online, I'm terrible in that sort of situation. Which is actually something I'm trying to fix, because right now I do about the worst thing you can. Namely, nothing. Which just lets the awkwardness fester and make everybody uncomfortable. . .

1. turn slowly. depending on your wheels, you might slide or spin if you turn quickly. don't risk it. happened to me once.
2. drive maximum of 30 mph if there's a good amount, but keep up with the flow of traffic.
3. pump your break when you're breaking and start at a very decent distance.

there you go you know how to drive in the snow congratulations you're better than 90% of the nj drivers how do you feel?

Are New Jersey drivers anything like Cleveland drivers? If so, then been there, done that haha. I've slid three times in my life. Dare to say that I actually enjoyed getting right up the wheel of the car & gaining back control. Sadly its too dangerous to do it at all so no worries, I don't. I don't even like driving during winter because no one ever knows how to drive lol

Oh god, I love you guys. c:

Ugh, I actually kinda dislike Ohio. But before I reference any Bowling For Soup songs, let me just ask why you wouldn't go to Kentucky. Eh?
Click to expand...
Why wouldn't I? Eh, did I say I crossed it out or something? Its actually the strongest possibly because it has the most options for me. Not to mention I have cousins in Kentucky whom I never met, haven't really talked to them since...well its over 9 years now, but would love to meet them sometime so that would be a huge plus for me!

Addendum: don't come to a complete stop on a hill or in a deep pile of snow if you can legally avoid doing this. You will struggle to get going again in a 2 wheel drive vehicle and may even find yourself going backwards. And if you do find yourself having stopped in either of these situations, DO NOT GUN IT. Put some gas but do not floor it for a couple seconds, then let your foot off the gas for a few seconds, then put some gas again (again, do not floor it, I cannot stress this enough), then let off, repeating as necessary until you get going. Gentle push up the hill. Otherwise your engine will overheat and catch fire if you just keep gunning it.

Addendum 2: carry a bag of cat litter or sand in your trunk. You'll have weight for traction in your rear wheels and also have a material you can sprinkle at your wheels for traction if you find yourself stuck.

Condolences to your friend. May s/he rest in peace :(
 
I've never been to cleaveland. I've only driven in Jersey and PA.
PA drivers are more aggressive but also much better. I've only driven there a handful of times and I'm already more aggressive behind the wheel. Not like road rage aggressive just like they get it done.

By PA I mean philly.
 
I like to respond with a witty comment, but only come across the opportunity with memory at hand on occasion. When I do pull it off, it tends to be funny. ;D

Like when someone says something rrrreeeeaaaalllllyyy awkwardly stupid, I'll glint and slowly say "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…" in the fashion of Dr. Evil when Mustafa was yelling from the furnace. :D

Me too. I don't have a problem getting strange looks from people. I actually feed on that kind of attention.

I know what you're feeling, one guy I went to high school with died from an on/off battle with leukaemia at age 21 nearly two years ago. I can't believe it's been that long actually. But that really tore my whole grade apart, I've never seen so many people at a funeral in all my days. It's terribly sad, they were both too young, but I guess some people just have a shorter shelf life than others :(
 
So sorry to hear that, Aeroblast...losing a classmate is awful, especially when you know the person. Hopefully you all can comfort each other in this sad time
 
There was someone who once bullied me throughout junior high and he ended up dying before he graduated high school.
 
I think when I was younger I really didn't comprehend death until a lot of the cats in our coulter were dying, so much we had a graveyard of cats. I think it clicked when our cat Sunshine was mauled by the neighbor's hunting dogs, and when Navis was run over by a car, not to mention the kitten my mother stepped on and broke it's neck, and another one that got crushed by an old monitor in a very floppy chair. D:
 
Well here I am walking on in to DCC, to hopefully get some light chit chat before I eventually go to sleep.

These are maybe the saddest looking vehicles I've ever seen so far:
