Anyone remember this?

  1. My addiction to the spam zone is that I wish to have fun, or want to get attention pointed to a subject form time to time. I also fear that if I post something in a different part of the form it might get me in trouble. that's the basics of it.

    That's much better. You should definitely add a poll.

    It still doesn't make sense to request to move it and not leave this one because you like spam. Either way you would want it to stay here.

    2Trying

    3Not possible

    Why shouldn't you try to make sense? That almost always works out better than not making sense.
     
  5. I tryed, but I messe it up... Nonsense was born from it.

    Why not keep trying until you succeed?

    The one thing you should never give up on is improving yourself. Once you have given up on that, you will degenerate instead. That is probably what is happening.
     
  7. Well einstine once defned insanity, saying it was doing the sme thing oeran over gain looking for a dif result,and although I am insain, i try difrent things and I always get the same result when it comes o self improvement: failure to change. now don't get me wrong, I still try, but nothing changes. Itdossen't makesence, or dse it?

    Yet one is not able to be insane if it is self-defined.

    If you fail, then you are not trying hard enough, or are not sure what improvement would look like. Do you know what goal you are aiming for? What traits do you want to change? Be as specific as you can, don't say something so broad as "I want to be smarter".
     
  9. Insanity can be self defined, often one whom is crazy knows he or she is crazy, but is unable to explain it, the ones whom can define it have been able to master the insanity, and return to normal, more or less.
    Failure to improve often is not the non want or laziness of the one whom is trying to improve, rather that(those) person('s) reaching the limit of ones capability to learn and improve. One's inability to learn is really his inability to learn quickly.
    I know what my improvement should look like. And finally, your expecting every one human to make significant progress when they learn, I am not that 'Smart', compared to the general man, I am slightly below average in capability to learn, understand, and comprehend new information outside of science, language to me makes no sense and is hard to learn in general. I am more or less, an artist, my only skills (if you could call them skills) are drawing, song making (sound based, not language based), and maneuvers (I cannot call it 'dance' as maneuvers details any kind of human body position, mainly with bladed weaponry like claymores and swords). Learning is not my strong suit, but I a least try, but my improvement has be slower than molasses mixed with a snail and a slug. A lot of people that I've known in my life-that are like myself-have already given up on spelling and learning on improvement in their life. I haven't given up. An example of my trying is about two years ago, I couldn't spell the word 'awesome'. In fact, I could not spell it any where near the way it was, after a year of working, I finally figured it out, but I have to focus on a single word at a time.
    I am working on as of now the word couldn't.

    I meant that it is not doing the same thing and expecting a different result if you do not truly expect a different result. The fact that you claim to know it will not have the same result shows that you do not truly expect the same thing to happen.

    The last part is correct, but I do not believe there is a cap to learning unless there is a cap to memory. People learn at varying speeds, but to reach a limit... Is theoretically impossible. At the very least, one will learn new things to overwrite the old things if memories become muddled.

    It sounds as if you certainly are making progress, though you have a long way to go.

    I am not expecting that. I am demanding it. As I see it, you would not profit by acknowledging that you had reached your limit even if you were to theoretically reach it. At best you could use that acknowledgment as a self-defense mechanism to avoid being disappointed with yourself, but that is all. The determination to improve makes you better automatically. Struggling pointless is better than giving up in my eyes. Not that you are struggling pointlessly, but that struggling is admirable and preferred.

    Up until now you have expressed an attitude similar to those you describe. You appeared to have given up; you used your disadvantages as excuses and rejected criticism of any kind. Rather than accept that others will assume you are lazy and calmly deal with it as a misunderstanding, you grow defensive. "No one else has any right to criticize me," you appear to think. But without criticism, you will be even slower to grow than you would be with others helping you.

    You did well on this post, even though you made a grammar mistake or two. It probably took a lot of effort, but it has certainly made me gain a bit more respect for you and you should aim for that kind of perfection as much as possible. The harder you push yourself in every tiny action, the easier and more natural it will become. You won't have to try as hard later if you work to make it normal now. Train your mind and it will adjust accordingly.

    Most of all, when you get angry because someone else is picking on you for your behavior, remember to aim for perfection instead of reacting in a way that will set them off even more. If it takes a lot of concentration to do well, then you need to concentrate twice as hard when you want to fly off the handle because emotions usually make your performance even worse than usual. Reacting calmly and professionally will probably impress the one who bothered you unless they were purely antagonizing. If they were purely antagonizing, then you reacted calmly and professionally and they will look the fool. You can never go wrong by playing it cool.
     
  11. I'm sorry for my seeming immaturity, I have a bunch of self confidence issues and because of heavy verbal abuse from peers in middle school, (not just basic verbal bullying. It was so bad it was concerted verbal abuse) I have become a bit paranoid and often feel as though I am being judged too harshly and/or am being picked on for my lack of grammatical skill. Even though I do make efforts to get better. My paranoia has made it hard for me to be any where near any humans at all, for I fear that I will be betrayed and/or hurt by another person.
    I try for perfection, the thing I have never gotten close to, where as, my niece is a crazy-smart and talented person (she taught herself piano with a simple piano book and the letter stickers) And is a social butterfly whom makes me look worse every day even though I give it my best shot.
    As I have been trying to demonstrate, I have been Improving, I take a small language cores during the summer (its not much, just a site called quizlet.com(or was it .net?) where I practice my spelling and such from old lessons one of my English teachers gave my class. Because of the fact that I do wish to get better, my creativity is highly in creating fan based stuff like fan fic's but because of the fact I struggle with descriptive details among everything else, it is almost impossible. I will quote one of the posters on an old fanfic
    I only remember that text because it was the thing that made me want to get better at what I want to do.

    Zoids Zero Century.

    I used to watch it every morning before school on Toonami Rising Sun. This was one of the many shows that got me into anime, quality ones at that.

    Glad to hear it, but you and I maaaay have differing taste in anime as I don't exactly like Death Note.

    It's shows like this though that made me so calm about the idea of giant robots beating the crap out of each other and able to grow up and appreciate shows like Gurren Lagann.

    Still remember the theme music, Zoids!
     
  15. I am more or less into the Magna rather than the show, but I am the Ryuk of my friends "Death Note"groop because of the fact I can often stalk and not be seen

    I only saw a few of the first few episodes of Gurran Lagann, but I want to watch more...NEED MOAR!
    The theme, Ahh memory's, I actually have the entire series of Zoids (well except the unreleased Japanese 2006 remake, Genesis on my computer)

    Ah, a Manga fan? Gimme till tomorrow and I'll shoot ya a PM with an image listing off top-quality AMAZZZZZIIIINNNNGG manga. It should give you a way to kill time at the very least. Also, you maaaaay not want to be proud of the stalking bit, haha.

    ONLY A FEW EPISODES?!?!?! YOU DIDN'T GET TO THE TIMESKIP!?!?!?! Set aside all day tomorrow and watch the whole series from start to finish. Worth it. Plus, Imaishi's latest anime is releasing its dub soon in the states on the tenth of this month, if you didn't already know. If you didn't, it's called Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt and it looks HILARIOUS! Check it out as Gainax should be, if they aren't already, famous for their dubs.

    Zoids memories to me are limited to mornings being highly awesome, racing home after school to catch an episode before DBZ and a lot (and I mean A LOT) of model building. And nice collection!
     
  17. I am a fan of both anime and manga, Some times I like the Anime or the Manga better, dependin' on the show/Manga

    Only reason why is becaus It was a school night, and I frogot about geting back to it...Why must I be such an idiot

    Mornings where one time watching Vega beat van made me punch the TV... Nistalgia
    I also got the enirety of Rave Master and )for us american fans everywhere) Avatar The last Airbender
    (excuse my typeing right nao...Lack of sleep with the face i am typeing thais and watching zoids Chaotic sentury at the same time and getting to ggood parts making my attention mainly on that at 1 somethin on the morn)
    I loved making modle kits
    I have one of Liger Zero, And one of the blade iger (i ended up chopping off the tip of my middle finger in the process of making that one)

    You'll have that. It's natural to assume that when someone does badly, they did badly because they didn't care to do well. Furthermore, it's annoying for a fan of a series to see someone else butcher it. They might take it as an insult to the series itself.

    What you need to do is try so hard and want to improve so much that when someone insults you, you look over your work, find faults, and instead of defending them, try to fix them. It isn't about what they think, it's about you doing better. That's all.

    Play it cool.

    That said, I loved Zoids as a kid, but I have no interest in an RP.
     
  19. On my story on my first fan story: I had recently joined, it was my first form and I didn't think much of it since I hardly looked in the threads. And I-having little experience -Wasn't prepared and didn't take much time, I look back on it now thinking "Man that was bad!" But he didn't seem to really care for the series, since he never seemed to be involved in anything besides the writing section.
    I only defend mistakes when I cannot help them, say, when I type in my phone, I have larger than average thumbs and a horrid internet browser on my phone, I fix as much as I can, and I don't own any android or anything special (I hate IPhones) so I don't have a spell checker. Also I have bad eyes, sometimes I mistake the comma for the period. Finally, I know some of the words I make horrible mistakes on, but I cannot help that I haven't learned how to spell it Yet. I do have the drive, the speed, I do not have.
    Eh, It was a fan story at first, then I met role play, the rest was history.

    I built so many of those damn Zoid models it was ridiculous. I even used to make my own in Advanced Metals. I really wish I could find pictures of those.
