Dearly beloved, are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented?
Or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure
Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded?
Or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word and that's my best excuse

So, in the previous question, Jamie posed a question:

Dude, at the end of the day having a boyfriend/girlfriend isn't everything. It's a damn fine thing when you're in a relationship and you're really happy, but the sad truth is, most teenagers who are in relationships aren't happy and end up getting hurt. At the end of the day, do you need a partner to be happy in yourself? Most people don't, although some do. I guess it depends how you look at it.

So why have I posted so much about love? Maybe my previous post was unclear. Maybe it just made it sound as if I just wanted to go out with someone. The reality is neither of those.

What annoys me is the fact that everyone else seems to be in love, reminding me of my past (and current) failings (see the latter of the above posts), which drives me back into the feeling of hopelessness. But how, you ask, will having a boy/girlfriend not make me think of the same things? My mind will be beyond such things. I doubt I'll be acting as hopelessly as I am now, regardless of whether I made the move or not.

Love, lift me up out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
I believe in you

It's about moving on from the past. It's about lifting me up out of depression. It's about the future.

re: Colloquy 2.0D16 crashing bug and workaround

I'd advice people not to try Colloquy 2.1 Beta if you don't have a very fast computer, as it's a massive resource hog. It gets up to 60% CPU usage when a new message comes in (on a Dual 2.5GHz G5). I continue to use it for a single reason: I'm very fussy about UIs, and am yet to find anything that comes anywhere close to it.

So Tantek finally has a new iBook. Just hope it was too painful calling up, if that happened as you said you needed to previously.

Re: iBook video dead again

Tantek: Just ask for it to be replaced. As it's under warranty, and has had the same failure over 4 times, it's likely it'll be replaced free of charge if you ask, probably even with a current-rev iBook G4 ;) (although that's at Apple's disgression, but it's likely that's what it'll get replaced with, as, well, the iBook G3s aren't built anymore).
