Almost Engaged

Posted by Acid on June 28, 2010, 12:30 a.m.

I put a down payment on a "promise ring" engagement ring. $20 - Ring's total price:$135

This is going to be the ring she'll get married in but once we're older I'll get her a bigger one to show how far we've made it.

I'm taking AP Physics, Lang, Calc, and US Gov't. Wish me luck, lol. There's a lot of Physics and Calc summer work and I have to make a lab for physics. It's nothing too hard but it's a heavy amount of work. Also, I hate myself for not fully remembering stuff from algebra II and I hate my pre-calc teacher because she didn't teach me the stuff I need to know for this year and made lots of mistakes in teaching us. So know I have to relearn, learn, and unlearn over the summer. -_-;

I'm going to try to keep my grades better than decent for once to try to get some kind of funding for college. I'm planning on going to University of Toledo for either my BS or MS in Electrical Engineering. Or Mechanical. I'm still deciding but I'm probably going to go with EE.

I can't focus on my games. Or my art. Or anything. :'(

My girlfriend's grandpa died. He was a good man and will be missed.

I'm finally starting to get back into making a website for myself. Nothing amazing or innovative or groundbreaking or even modern. It uses some images and a table and I barely even started. It literally has nothing on it, but I guess I'll post it anyway.

Trigger warning if you are triggered by triggers:

I just triggered myself because I kept trying to not think about triggering myself

@Cyrus This is a good bit from wikipedia

Quote:
The efficacy of 'trigger warnings' has not been methodically addressed by scientific study, however in an interview about Trigger Warnings for the Daily Telegraph[11] Professor Metin Basoglu, a psychologist internationally recognised for his trauma research[11] said that "The media should actually – quite the contrary… Instead of encouraging a culture of avoidance, they should be encouraging exposure. Most trauma survivors avoid situations that remind them of the experience. Avoidance means helplessness and helplessness means depression. That’s not good".

I'm uh superlate which is also why I'm not updating the activity feed and hiding this as irrelevant, but as a 17 year old who, apparently, behaves waaay more mature than other 17 year olds, I know for myself that there's no way I could commit myself to a marriage at this point in my life. A relationship, sure, but actually considering your relationship as something that (theoretically) will last for the rest of your life seems stupid to me at least. If you're in a relationship as two mature people instead of people still largely being driven by their hormones and you have been together for a while, then I would see it as something worth considering. Then there's obviously the cultural differences if I'm right where Americans marry earlier and divorce more than in Europe, but still. End of post sorry I just felt like posting this. Also congrats Acid on your long-lasting marriage!
