I'm just saying there are tons of other ways of being informed without having to read everything do you always react to stuff like this? immediately shutting down the idea
your therapist told you that we were all screwed up in our own special ways? sounds like they're pretty screwed up, too but I don't trust those kind of people anyway
...can't say I disagree with that, at least want my advice? be less of a mess and try to get in touch with this asami chick. the worst that can happen is you don't get an answer and if you don't, then you find a way to make her listen
do it and if it blows up in your face somehow I'll even give you the right to come back to me and say "I told you so" but it won't go that badly. I have a sense about this kind of stuff
I've heard giving yourself a peptalk in the mirror works for some people that's not a serious endorsement from me, but I've heard it here's a question. do you like your designs? are they good?
you might be able to ask somebody over at the university to borrow their equipment just lie a little, say it's for your internship or something they might buy it

That just means her company would talk to like, focus groups of teenagers.
Not random teens on the internet.

no subject
Sometimes.
Look I know it's stupid I just kept help it.
no subject
[Oh Eleanor...did you think he wouldn't push his luck?]
no subject
We're all screwed up in our special little ways.
no subject
true, but defeatist
but what can I say, better to think about that now than realize it way later
no subject
I did the whole 'therapy' thing when I was younger because of some stuff.
So I guess I'm just used to seeing things like that.
no subject
sounds like they're pretty screwed up, too
but I don't trust those kind of people anyway
no subject
And I guess I picked up on it so I got pretty good at spotting them in other people too.
Plus. We're all just a mess most of the time.
no subject

no subject
I want to say I have nothing to lose but
I have everything to lose!
Should still probably do it though.
no subject
but it won't go that badly. I have a sense about this kind of stuff
no subject
Heh.
Seriously though.
I'll try to talk to her.
Eventually.
no subject
but cool. take your time but probably not too much time
so like...maybe a few weeks. when's the internship deadline?
no subject
It's not until the summer.
no subject
seriously take my advice. don't stall for too long. it'll be a lot easier than you think
no subject
I've already filled most of it out anyway.
With some designs and such.
It's just a matter of convincing myself to do it.
no subject
that's not a serious endorsement from me, but I've heard it
here's a question. do you like your designs? are they good?
no subject
Yeah.
Well, most of them.
I have a few I don't really
You know those weird memory things?
no subject
no subject
And I know how to build them.
They're like...little helicopter drones.
But with technology out of the fifties?
But they work.
Or I think they work.
I haven't built one yet
no subject
How hard would it be to build one, do you think?
[Look at that, he's not even discounting that she could.]
no subject
I'd need someone with a metal shop. To help me fab the parts.
But if I had them all...
I could build it in a few hours, I think.
no subject
just lie a little, say it's for your internship or something
they might buy it
no subject
I'm going there next year for mechanical engineering.
I could probably claim it's some kind of independent project.
