Shut up, Eclair. You do absolutely nothing to improve your life so you have no right to complain about your misery.

I'm too tired to make a wall of text again whining about how alone I am, so I'm just going to tell you that I'm not a good conversationalist, and have nothing to talk about other than school and homework. I mean, the latter is almost always the only thing I try to open a conversation with, and I fear that it easily got dull the many times I've used it. I can't find any other subject to talk about with people, which is why I don't really talk that much. Anyway, I know I've definitely asked about how to make conversation with people, but I fear I either don't retain the advice that people have given me in the past or don't listen to it. For that, I'm sorry for wasting your time, if you were one of those people. So please feel free to not give any advice at all in this topic, as it will very likely go unheeded. I just feel like venting tonight with the same old problems... Anyway, I bought the entire set of How I Met Your Mother for sixty American dollars last weekend, and I find myself somewhat less humorous than Friends or The Big Bang Theory. I know that I've only watched the first few episodes of it, but so far, it doesn't seem to be the type of show I'd watch to make me laugh. It doesn't mean that it's not entertaining in any way, but it is fun to watch for the plotlines (though there's just one developing in the first season). That being said, I find that an episode of The Big Bang Theory is funny much of the time, but it doesn't have much drama or tension like Friends did, so I consider it not so big in this regard. In any case, I did make sure to purchase the edition of this television show that included all the episodes, as there's this collection for sale on Best Buy that excludes four episodes, but would have costed me forty-two American dollars, including the credits I had had for the store. Anyway, do you think I wasted my money buying this DVD collection?

I must have these answers.

I go back and forth on HIMYM. The Slapsgiving episodes always made me laugh but I always found Ted to be an annoying character. And since the entire show pretty much revolves around him, it can make the show a little hard to watch.

Ted is the worst character on the show, but its not always about him. IMO its just as much the Marshall and Lily show as it is Teds

Smoothbrain!

HIMYM sucks.

Also, TC, go find something to do outside of your home. You're the way you are from lack of experiencing anything worthwhile in life. You're not a bad person and there's nothing wrong with you, but after reading a few of these threads, it's clear that you're not filling your life with meaningful activities. School is important to a career and impact a lot, but a nice education and a good job don't amount to much if you aren't doing anything with yourself after the fact.

Feel free to PM or whatever if you want to talk more about that and don't want to in a thread.

Yes, I find that he's the most unlikeable one out of the whole cast.

If you're looking for subjects to talk about with classmates, you should try a *current* tv show rather than an old one. Also don't buy tv show collections before watching a few episodes of the show (unless it's only a few bucks or something).

Which I guess brings us to wasting money vs wasting time. If the show really doesn't do it for you, just cut your losses and stop watching. If you don't like something, you're not getting much value by watching it all the way through. Instead you're arguably compounding the wasted money by adding wasted time.

I picked up Fawlty Towers a while ago after seeing some clips that made it seem really funny (and it's had tremendous acclaim). However, by the end of the first episode, I realized that I probably wouldn't enjoy the show so I stopped watching. Luckily I only paid like $3 or $4 for it so I'm not out much.

Oh, I enjoy it, but not so much for the comedy. It's very different from that of Friends and the other show I mentioned in this post.

Oh we do, it's kinda like being an original fan of green day since kerplunk. They had a frickin Broadway play ffs. I don't know who's a bigger sellout, green day of weezer, but what those assholes did to their musical credentials. BBT did to all nerddom tenfold, the entire thing is an insult because no selfrespecting nerd/geek can tolerate 15seconds of that mindless crap....

It's ending in a year or so anyway so don't bother. You want something with less to catch on that looks like it's going to go a lot longer.

Yeah, I think I'm going to take Zeus' hint. HIMYM is not something I'd enjoy watching until the end, having just fully watched the first season. Ted sucks so much, it's not even funny, Robin is bland as a character, and Lily and Marshall are not an interesting couple. Overall, the characters aren't very interesting even though they seem normal. But that's why the only character whom I like is Barney. And I fear that the show's jokes are not as well-written as those of other sitcoms, and the plotlines aren't good enough to keep me entertained. The dialogue is cheesy, and the characters use slang and words that may have been in vogue with young people in 2005, but are just embarrassing now. And it just makes me go "ick" in disgust at the mere fact that they were used. I don't like current slang either, so it's not like I'd enjoy a show where people use internet slang or whatever. I mean I know that Barney uses these types of words, but he pulls it off better than the other two male characters.

This is one of the polls where the "Shut up, Eclair" option won almost as many votes as the one of the regular options, so I suppose that I should just take the bloody hint now.
