Ramblings
A reflexion that further fortifies my opinion that a dependency is a disease ; all my mind processes are completely bypassed by said dependencies most of the time. Or rather, not exactly. All my dependencies are completely bypassing my mind processes, most of the time. It is NOT a part of them, it's just... Severely entangled trough them all.
Calling the priorities in their place, taking control.
Like fucking mind parasites.
A big part of it becomes a series of miserable choices in the developped stages, sure...
But at it's very basis... It is and stays a sickness.
Fucking cancer, it is! Really makes the worst in people come out.
The weaker you are, the quicker it gets at you.
BUUUT in order to avoid being only a downer, I shall speak of a positive thought I've had!
Yaaaaaaaay! ... Living at the end of the world isn't that bad. Oh well okay, maybe this is about to be A BIT of a downer too. However if you think this trough, it is also brings a bit of reassurance. Even if on a global scale it is catastrophic, on the scale of my sole life... It is pretty awesome, like winning the mega millions!
It's like having drawn the short straw only to realise it's the best thing ever.
I am fortunate enough to have been born in one of the most developped countries of the earth, and even more I am fortunate enough to be a part of a middle-class family of said country!
I have the luck of assisting to the numerous and extreme events of life that are taking place in these ages of overconsumption, in these ages of destruction, madness and desolation... And I have the luck of assisting to it in some of the best conditions there are.
Now that's a story!
Not to mention that there are great chances I will have lived most of my life before the rough aspects of it start significantly impacting it's expenctancy, if they do affect me and not the next generation, or the one that will follow.
I almost have the complete book ; how we were born, how we evolved, how we most likely will annihiliate our own selves...
And that, is a privilege that can only belong to those who are alive to see the end of the world!
I might just have been born in the best of times :)
I feel like a videogame character, godamnit.

Score
"Either the sudden gleams of light flashing over the obscure field bedazzled Goodman Brown, or he recognized a score of the church members of Salem village famous for their especial sanctity. "
( From Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" ).
Can someone tell me please what's the meaning of "score" in this context ? Thanks ! :)

I'm really bad with titles part II
Internet made it fun. Fun made it easy.
I remember learning my first few sentences playing at the old Runescape. Back then I used to beg other players to start fires at fishing spots because I always forgot to bring and axe so I couldn't get wood. Yet I still felt like a smartass because I was speaking english. Good old times.
Eeeer I'm drifting out of the main topic again.
Darn this entry is way too long for nothing. To whoever made it this far ( if anyone did ), I'm so sorry.
The main reason I want to improve my english even further is because I recently started listening to other people's problems on a website that provides emotional support. I am no professional, but my friends always told me one of my biggest strenghts is my ability to be an amazing listener. I decided to put that in use on a larger scale. There is a lot of things I do wrong, but this, I can do right. I just avoid listening to users struggling with depression, as I can't be objective since I am depressed myself.
The website is multilingual, but speaking anything else than english is nothing but a bonus. Most members will be native english speakers or will have english as a second language, wich is why it is so important to improve my understanding as much as I can and measure my words. Distressed individuals deserve the best support they can get.
I think that's pretty much it, I'm done with writing this entry.
This is so long I'm like at -400 something characters now. ( Insert swear word here ).
Duck it ! I'm going to separate this in two parts otherwise there is no way anyone is going to read it all.
Yep, that's it. lol.
Bye

I'm really bad with titles part I
Hi. I will admit it, I don't really know how to start this entry right now. I've been staring at my screen with a blank mind without writing a word for a while, trying to find the perfect sentences despite perfectly knowing that I won't. Because, well, that's just the way I am.
The latest year has been quite harrowing for me. I don't know up to what point I'm allowed to write about it here, and I don't know if I really want to do it, either. I feel like I have a lot to vent out and yet, I can't think of anything new. I'm wondering why, exactly, did I choose this subject. Parts of me wants to start over and write about petty things instead, like the last meal I ate or the last time I had fun. But this is it, I think I just can't write anything significant out of it.
I ate ramens when I woke up this afternoon. It tasted like ramen. Duh.
I have trouble remembering the last time I had real, quality fun. Laughing to silly videos to distract my mind is as far as it goes, I think.
'' Write about learning a language ''.
Yeah, that might be a good idea.
Why do I want to perfect my english ?
Well first of all english is pretty much the language of the internet, wich is why I managed to understand it well in the first place. I had courses as a kid, but it didn't interest me back then. I always hated to learn in a school environnement. Thus I never really learnt from there. It didn't brought me far in life however. Anyway. Back to the topic.

分かってくれます
I am translating a song to upgrade my japanese and at some point it says 分かってくれます.
I read that くれますmeans '' to give '' , and 分かって is the '' te '' form of 分かる. However, I am unable to understand the meaning of both words merged together. Can someone explain it to me please ?( I forgot to say I know that 分かる means '' to understand '' )

Relaying and using
1 - It is impossible for us to think otherwise than by relaying our five senses.
2 - It is impossible for us to think otherwise than by using our five senses.
Are they both correct ? I am unsure about the verb '' relaying '' . In the online dictionnaries I consulted it isn't said it can be used as a substitute for '' use '' . I wonder because the same goes for french dictionnaries, my native language, and yet it is sometimes used this way.

So I wrote this
'' Everybody Else ''
A beast is crawling under your skin. Don't deny it. You know it. Because It holds your deepest secrets, because It knows all your worst thaughts, you fear It.
Your fears... And all your anger, all your doubts... God knows you bottle up a lot of that stuff... But It actualy really likes it. It feeds on it.
Now, I would like to ask you something... What are you gonna do about It ?
... Oh, right. Yeah, stay oblivious if you wish so. After all, if you lock It in there, maybe It will just die. But... are you sure you can make It starve ?
Of course, you're not. But you would like to believe it.
Some people fear divine judgment for having that thing inside them.
I say we all have a beast,
And for the very sake of it,
Worst of Hell is inside each of us.
____________
Everybody hates thinking about their beast.
Everybody likes living in oblivion.
I like thinking about the beasts.
I hate living in oblivion.
And I say, if you keep feeding It,
Don't whine if one day,
It trys to share the abundant feast.
You will then have done terrible things,
For your I is in your It.
I like thinking about fears, doubts and anger. I dislike It, but I fucking love putting awfull things on my personal surgery table and dissect every bit of information I can cut out of It. There is a reason to his existence. Each It carries It's own enigma, leading to It's own personal story. To defeat an ennemy, you must first know him.
How boring life would be, without those beasts.
Everybody thinks I'm weird.
Everybody else.

Bad day
I f*cking hate fights. Just had one with my mom, and as ever I feel like I'm the one who's wrong even though I know I'm not. And I know no matter how much I'll try to prove my points, I'll always be the one who loses at the end just because she won't let go until she wins, using illogical arguments and repeating herself to the point I won't know what to say anymore to convince her. The worst is that we just fighted over something really silly, and I know she's still mad about it and will bring it back during the day, or even tomorrow. She basically said to my uncle that people sometimes try to pass by me to obtain informations my mother would not give them, wich is not true as the last time it happened I must have been like 12 years old ( and even if the person tried, I did not tell anything ). So I did told her it did not happen for a very long time, and instead of admitting she was confused she got super mad saying I'm trying to make her pass for a lier. Result = shitty, tensed ambiance between my mother and I plus general awkwardness toward my uncle. People probably consider it's my fault, and only mine. What a wonderful day !

Country and countryside
Are those words meaning the same thing ? Should I say one more often than the other ?

My new cat
Yesterday, my father brought a new cat at home. His name was Cotonelle but we renamed him Lionell. My mom think it's prettier that way. It's a colorpoint ( himalayan ) of twelve years old, and he's beautiful. For now he's hiding in the bath because he isn't accustomed to his new environment. He's really kind and when I go see him, I can pet him without problems because he likes it a lot. He just don't want to get out. Maybe tomorrow. We will give him the time he needs.
