Honestly, that's the biggest struggle and I understand entirely. Somedays you have to let your feelings win so you can come back stronger another day. The struggle of life. Unfortunately I have no wisdom on that one
Yeah. Interesting philosophy. i don't think anyone on this good earth knows the wisdom to all kinds struggles.
Just cut it down to bullet points like I did on my LMBW article. It brings me no end of amusement that I made 136000 posts and yet I managed to make my article a small paragraph.
Ah, the ability to be concise. One I have always lacked.
They say brevity is the soul of wit Also a good skill for communication in general. This is why I trim my texts down to the point of incoherence. Be glad I actually try here, somewhat
But also stressful to have so much LEGO I need to get my LEGO from my parents' down here as well, then I can do some MOCs too...
At the time, I never particularly liked how the newbies looked up to me so much. I would tell them to not be like me. Now I just think it's kind of funny that I essentially never made truly high quality posts and yet was an enduring memory for many users. I guess I get redemption here as half my posts are multiple sentences.
Eh, understandable. How many sets do you think you have?
Aww. xD Perhaps there was unexpected quality in that quantity of posts. The world may never know.
I was going to say something about not going in terms of sets, but in terms of pieces, but I've bought so many pieces in bulk now that I have absolutely no clue whatsoever how many I have. I just would go to the flea market and buy LEGO... honestly a little problematic. Quite possible I have closer to a million than 0, but there's no way to know. I just know whenever I'd go back to my parents' the amount of LEGO there would give me a small mental breakdown. But in terms of sets that I myself have bought it's honestly probably over 100,000 pieces?? Who knows. But the majority of my collection wasn't mine originally.
Well I have screenshots of some of it... maybe there were a few good one liners
Ah, I doubt it will, but now I have friends from both the message boards and undergrad scattered across the midatlantic and northeast... the older you get the more normalized it is to have friends in far off locations Gives me an excuse to travel sometimes, admittedly
Well, it was his call, and I guess he was concerned about his mother's reaction on that one. I try to tell most people the truth now though
No, though it nearly happened; I was afraid that because we were such close friends, we might get sick of each other if we were together all day every day (we'd already decided to attend some of the same classes and the same martial arts team), so I suggested we pick different roommates.
Ah cool. Have you gotten to travel often?
Yes, possibly a good idea. I chose the random roommate route my freshman year, got a roommate who dropped out so they gave me another guy who dropped out. They said I was cursed. Had a roommate again Junior year (a good friend who I knew would be a decent roommate) and COVID made us both go home for the year, so...
Because of COVID, not as much as I would like. Hopefully I'll be able to see more things in the spring... it's a process
