Now, I can't sleep.
Just spent nearly an hour fiddling with a knee joint to make it bend backwards for a custom... started putting it back together to start on the other leg then realised I could get much the same effect simply by reversing the thigh piece.... FACEPALM
Hahaha, don'tcha love it when you outsmart yourself. :)
Can't beat the story of when NASA spent truckloads of money developing a pen that can write in zero-gravity... and while American astronauts were showing off this expensive technology to astronauts from other countries aboard the international space station, a Russian cosmonaut takes out his pencil.

P.S.: I know it's just an urban legend, but still a damn funny one. :)
More Asians don't see the point in wasting money on spray paint :p:p:p:DQuote:

I can see who really cared in this relationship now...
It sucks to be me right now :(
And then the cosmonaut sharpened his pencil, carbon shavings floated into the electronics, shorted out the space station and everyone died.Quote:

Aww Killinspoon *HUG*
Dude, keep some hope, perhaps find something to do that you've always wanted too, a thing unrelated to her.
Well, I have started playing guitar to take my mind off things.
I have figured out that alcohol doesn't help. I woke up in glen waverly yesterday morning sleeping on my jumper...
I'm just glad that I have people on here who have been through the same thing. It sucks that this is my first ever break up, my first love. I feel like you guys can help me through it all. I just wish I could turn time forwards, even just a year and see how I am then. Sometimes I hate being 19... I know that I have to put in the work in order to achieve my final goal and I'm fine with that. But right now, I feel as though everything I have ever done has been for nothing.
Edward Norton Lorenz is my inspiration to continue studying, I want to be like him; forever selfless and family orientated. I have a strange love for mathematics and want to contribute something towards the field. However, at this point in time... I don't even want to get out of bed.
Hey.... at 19, there's so much more things that will happen to you. So many more women that you'll have experiences with. I know you feel like that she's irreplaceable. You won't know that till you have tried to be with others.
Just take some time and if she's with someone else, just think that you let her go to be happy/ier and it really won't work out in the long run anyway.
There were times in your life that are filled by this person. The other times are with others. Girls go for the heartbroken sob story too so use that as well :D

Take it easy though dude, Alcohol and Drugs are no remedy to the pain - I know, I've been there and it takes a long time to get out of it and it will continue to affect your life in ways you don't see coming. :(
You've got to remember not to punish yourself as you've done nothing wrong, she is the perpetrator and Karma works in funny yet very just ways. ;)
That is MARVELOUS!!! lolQuote:

That being said. It comes down to the person.
Some women are bitches. Some guys are doucebags. But they only show that and not what the whole gender is like.
So it means you can go out and be like John West and go for the best.
Indeed, Just look at Ramses II (The Great) - 92 years of age and had over 100 kids in his life time. :eek::DQuote:

If I am missing the point I am sorry though.
sorry to hear killinspoon...
same thing happened to me at 19, my first love and my best mate got together....i went outta my mind!
hursti's right....avoid getting smashed to forget, does way more harm than good and just prolongs the agony.
you will feel better mate....it just takes time
janda :)
To also clarify on that part, I was referring to the Brain's wiring and it's emotional differences to Men's. ;)Quote:

All guys: Dont spend too much money on a girl in a relationship until a few months later;)
I'm thinking about doing a cross-country travel, and meeting all of you guys.
I feel that I have much self exploration to do; and it seems the best way for me to do that, is to learn from all of you and your experiences.
I've been physically ill for days, and need something to look forward to in my life at this point in time.
I hope to be able to save enough and make this happen, I deserve to be able to let go and have fun. I've gone my entire life living as a sensible person, who would never take any major risks.
The first one I took bit me in the behind...
Even though that one hurt, like Hursty said 'Karma works in funny yet very just ways'.
Hopefully something is waiting for me around the corner and I'll be able to have fun.
Yeah I had the same thing years ago......it sure does bite and it bites really hard but you will get over it.Quote:

I know that dude. My first love and girl screwed me over as well. Alcohol don't work, it just leaves you with scars (I have scars on my fingers from a drunken night with a toilet paper dispenser "accident" :p)Quote:

Best not to dwell on it and look to the future. And if you do travel, make sure you visit Sydney :p
I'm actually planning on hitting up Sydney in the next few months over uni holidays. (it was my first choice because I actually know Eazy D, and even though he will probably be working at least I know someone up there :D )
The only thing that I have to do is sort out accomodation before I head up, which will be the hardest part.
KillinSpoon,
sorry to hear your case dude, all I can do is echo what the others have been saying, there are plenty more sparks in the well! drinking , especially alone, wont make the pain go away, though drinking with friends can be fun in reasonable doses:D.
better to break up and find this out now than to find out/break up in 5 or 10 years when you have a family and things can be a lot messier.
traveling sounds like a great idea, I'd suggest digging into your Maths, and perhaps your music too. I've been playing drums for years and there is nothing more soothing than 30 minutes of grooving.
and if your 19 and into maths, you're probably looking at uni if you're not already there, there are sooo many pretty sparks to meet at uni:D
and don't forget, apart from the board here which is clearly a very supportive place, you also have your family and friends. however you feel now, things can only get better.
Dude, I'm really sorry to hear that.Quote:

By your age, I've been in more relationships all my fingers and toes can count (not counting flings and ONSs and stuff like that). Among that, there are those that broke up with me, there are those that cheated on me and there are those that just left me. I've done all of those (except cheating cos I hate that) to more than my fair share of girls. I've my heart broken and I've broken my fair share of hearts.
Go out there and have fun. Try hanging out more people, more friends, more girls (in that order, perhaps).
Experience life, experience relationships. BUT, never be a bastard - by that I mean, don't cheat, and be a responsible man. Soon you will know what you are really looking for in a girl - and that is when you go out there and find the right one!
Now that you know the first love is the only love is the love you marry is a myth, that world is your osyter! Go forth and have a blast!
killinspoon: One difficult thing about ending a relationship is re-establishing your identity because you feel like you've lost part of it. Among your network of peers, you and your former girlfriend were probably known as an item - so whenever social events were organised they'd usually invite both of you I imagine. So now what you need to do is to focus on re-defining your identity as an individual and not as one half of a partnership (as that partnership has dissolved).
And as a general rule for problem solving, always ask yourself, "Will this make things better or worse?" -- yes, you're hurting a lot now... but you need to consider whether or not your attempts at healing yourself is actually making things better or not.
e.g.
+ Focusing on your pasttimes and hobbies <-- helps
+ Spending time with your mates <-- helps
+ Alcohol abuse <-- not helping
You want to find things to help you in your healing process and not add to your existing problems. :)
First day back at work like so many, wish I'd stayed in bed...Here's but one sample of the joy my day entailed
Me earlier today: Hi Blah, here's the new laptop you've been expecting
Client: Oh thanks, now sit down for a minute
Me: Um okay *sits down* How can I help?
Client: How do I turn it on?
Me: You press the power button *presses*
Client *while writing down on a note pad*: Turn...Power...On. Okay, then what?
Me: Then it loads Windows and you can login. See?
*watches clients expression of utter bamboozlement as the Windows 7 login screen appears*
Client: What's that?
Me: This is the Windows login screen where you enter your user name and password
Client: What's mine?
...
The conversation only gets dumber from there. Eventually I had to take the laptop back because it was too hard for them to read what was on the screen even at 600 * 800. And of course there were plenty of "This isn't good enough, how am I meant to work with this, if only I had a Mac" etc. that ****wit managers seem to love throwing in there on top of there added demands. Now this is keeping in mind the person I'm assisting (or is that nursing?) is 5 levels above me. FML
WOW. just wow.Quote:

I hear your frustration mate, Deep breath eh? :o
I once heard a story from a friend who used to work in IT support. He told me about a client who called up asking how to use Windows. He told the client to double click on the My Computer icon. The client then said that he was a Christian, and therefore did not believe in icon worship. My friend tried to use different synonyms like "picture," but the client kept on insisting that clicking on the icon was a form of sinful idolatory and therefore it was not possible for him to open it and kept asking for a different way of accessing his computer files without having to click on icons.
Another one he told me was about a client who had trouble "starting" his computer. After an extensive troubleshooting discussion, it turned out that this person had placed his mouse on the floor and kept stepping on it like a car accelerator thinking that this was how you start a computer. And yes, he had MANY clients call up asking for where the "Any" key was.

My wife used to work for DuPont and her departmant (finance) shared a level with the IT support team. But if she had computer problems she couldn't just walk over to them and ask for help. She had to spend an hour on the phone with the indiannohelp desk before they would email the IT guys and ask them to look at her computer. She said it was so frustrating as sometimes she could see them throwing paper airplanes while some guy across the world was asking if she had her computer plugged in.
