Maybe there were only 3-5? I don't know [ninja]
Now a reminder! [boogie]

The Final Analysis

-Mother Teresa



People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
...Forgive them anyway!


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
...Be kind anyway!
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
...Succeed anyway!
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
...Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
...Build anyway!
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
...Be happy anyway!
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
...Do good anyway!
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
...Give the world the best you've got anyway!
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

I've read that before although it was written a bit different. =3

Lexadis 06-15-2014 03:49 PM

I like that poem! [boogie] I posted it because I remembered that our professor before dismissing the class today recited this poem and how we can make our lives better [lol]

Sestina 06-15-2014 03:56 PM

It really is inspiring [yes]

VeraDark 06-16-2014 03:32 PM

I'm probably going to be asleep before anyone replies, but I'll take a chance and wake the thread...

Antagonist 06-16-2014 03:48 PM

I should be in bed...[zzz]

Lexadis 06-16-2014 03:59 PM

Ant! What time zone are you in? I know you're a few hours ahead of me but I don't know exactly. Can I ask where you live?

Antagonist 06-16-2014 04:00 PM

I live in Taiwan~ o wo
At the moment it's 16 minutes last midnight here. xD;;

What timezone do you live in?

VeraDark 06-16-2014 04:04 PM

*facepalms*

You'll all think I'm a little lost lamb in my head, but it's taken me this long to figure out that Antagonist is who everybody's been calling "Ant".

I was all like, "Ant? Who the hell is Ant, and why can't I see their posts?"

*groans at own blind idiocy*

Lexadis 06-16-2014 04:05 PM

Saved it!
Woah wait you live in Taiwan? [shock] I want to come [drool]

[rofl] You can call him Auntie, Vera! [poke]

Antagonist 06-16-2014 04:21 PM

lmao Vera! [rofl] It took me a while at first to get used to all the new nicknames when I changed my username, but now I can mostly recognize all of them as soon as I see them. [lol]


@Lexa: Yep! And sure! It's a pretty cool place though rather messy and sometimes quite dirty, but there are loads of fun places too to visit, and the food is awesome. [drool]

Ooh, so we're like two and a half hours apart from each other. [eager]

VeraDark 06-16-2014 04:26 PM

LOL, it's 11:40 A.M. where I live...

I'm on Central Standard Time, I think, runs down the middle of North America... which is where I currently live.

I know, everyone just assumes I still live in England or whatever, but no, I'm in the U.S...

Can't say it's really all that different though... <_<

Lexadis 06-16-2014 04:30 PM

I'm not sure about the food, but I want to visit Taiwan [drool]
And you and Ses are only 1 hour apart from each other! [boogie]

Yes, Vera is in the Central Time Zone!

VeraDark 06-16-2014 04:40 PM

Yep, stuck in the middle, as always...

Sodding story of my sodding life.

Silas 06-16-2014 05:13 PM

@Lexa - I think Ant and I have the same time. We're both GMT +8. =3

@Vera - If you don't mind, why did you move to the United States? :)
This is Sestina's mule by the way.
>_>
<_<

Lexadis 06-16-2014 05:23 PM

Eh yes I was reading '3h 30 min behind' for you, and mistook Malmo for Manila [sweat]
Even more awesome [drool]

Vera is English?

VeraDark 06-16-2014 05:27 PM

Oh hi, Sestina.

I'm technically an American, but I've parents who travelled a lot for work. I've been both here and there off and on for years. I've never spent more than maybe 3 years in one place at a time, but now I'm out in the world for myself, I've sort of settled out of complacency.

I like the food and the scene where I live, and it's easier to just live here than pick somewhere else and go integrate all over again.

It's why I don't have a really proper English or American accent, because I take from both and add stuff of my own. It's part of why I've never really fit in, I guess. I kind of stick out, like a gangrenous appendage.

At least my friends are also weird and messed up, so I have a sort of support group here.

Sestina 06-16-2014 05:36 PM

I wonder what your mixed accent sounds like. :)

Weird and messed up people are the best people to be friends with, in my honest opinion. It's never boring and you don't take each other's friendship for granted. =3

Lexadis 06-16-2014 05:41 PM

I don't really know how to differentiate an American and British accent [XD]
Lunatic unite! [insane] [squee]

---------- Post added 06-16-2014 at 11:11 PM ----------

I'm off to bed [zzz] Good night~

Sestina 06-16-2014 05:46 PM

Good night Lexa! [hug]

I should try getting some rest too but it won't be easy since I can't breathe through my nose. [XD]

VeraDark 06-16-2014 05:56 PM

It's funny, because when I really, really try, I can sound totally American, or totally English.

Unfortunately, nobody can seem to tell what kind of American, or English...

It's like what happened to Rock 'n' Roll, some English people latched onto American music, then brought their version of it to America, and everyone copied them back, and nobody seemed to realize what had happened.

I can sound like a redneck, I know that. And I don't speak Cockney, but I can sound like I'm speaking it

I also unintentionally sound all hoidy-toidy sometimes if I forget myself. I'm not an arrogant person, I just sound that way sometimes. It makes me want to cry.

Lexadis 06-16-2014 11:04 PM

I understand you. I go hoidy-toidy (that's a new word for me!) sometimes too. And sometimes I turn into a nasty, sarcastic person. Especially when it comes to people of my own age. The words just leave my tongue before I think about what has happened [gonk]

Antagonist 06-16-2014 11:47 PM

My accent's weird too. Like, I'm not sure what I sound like when speaking English but I know I have a bit of an accent because I spent too many years having not spoken English, and my Chinese sounds a bit Beijing-ish, which is a bit weird because neither of my parents' accents are so bad. O_o;;

Then I read a comment online one day and I think the mystery is solved; the guy knew two friends who came back from the states and they both spoke Beijing-ishly too, so I'm guessing it might be because we learned our Chinese outside of Taiwan so when we learn to pronounce the words we do it completely by the book, thus resulting in us curling our tongues more and ending up sounding like someone from Beijing. xD;; I used to have a heavier accent but I've managed to get rid of a good portion of the tongue curling, though if I ever live in China my accent will probably go right back. XD

VeraDark 06-16-2014 11:51 PM

Yeah, that's like the speed at which I'll curse out a family member, compared to how slow I am to drop my courtesy armor with strangers...

I try to be as nice as possible to everyone, and I'm extremely forgiving, but if I know I've told someone to stop something a million times before and they keep at it, every time they do it I behave worse and worse towards them, until they either stop, or I get fed up and go away.

As for hoidy, well, I don't always feel bad about it, because sometimes I really am better than someone else, and they're just not getting it.

But then later I feel bad anyway, because I wasn't perfect enough to conceal my ugly side.

Antagonist 06-16-2014 11:52 PM

Yeah. I get irritated pretty easily, though I try to hide it...but sometimes I still end up snapping at others, and end up feeling bad about it. [gonk]
