• Computer Graphics Card Question~!
  

  [quote Lano]I’m not tech person by any means, so excuse my suggestion if it is no bueno:
  
  Maybe try alternating cables (maybe one is busted, that is)?
  
  Or maybe the single link cable works on a dual link port, but only when your using one port at a time?????[/quote]
  
  That’s the spirit!
  
  To number 1…I attempted that when I tested the monitors. Both cables appear to be working fine.
  
  To number 2… … … …that would make me very sad.
  
  I should also mention that with only one monitor plugged into the DVI port not working, I still get no signal. I’d hate to think EVERY port but one is fried…that would make me lose faith in humanity.

• Well this is my first time on this website, so here goes nothing.
  

  It makes me sad when I read things like this…not because of what you say, but because of how much you don’t realize, and possibly WON’T realize until much later.
  
  You’re beautiful, no matter what you may think. You are exactly who you’re meant to be, and that’s the best way for you to look. You may not like the way you look now, but trust me when I say this…it’s not so much about physical perfection as it is confidence, which is from what I gathered a big problem.
  
  I remember when I was young (I’m a guy, so it might seem a little different) that people told me “People only like people who like themselves” That always seemed so superficial to me. At the time I thought it worked the other way around, and couldn’t even begin to understand how that logic was suppose to work. It wasn’t until much later that I realized it’s true.
  
  Love yourself, no matter what faults you may find…no matter if you think someone is prettier, or more talented, or even a better person. NO ONE will be like you, and no one can be so kind or so cruel to you than yourself. You say everyone compliments your dancing and that you’re athletic. I rarely hear people compliment dancers unless they’re professional, so the fact your peers have put YOU in their minds as the best dancer…even IF you’re not professional, means that your dancing sticks in their minds and impressed on them that you love to dance. You love it so much, and when you love something so much like that it’s like an infection…that feeling of love spreads to people who watch, and they can feel that joy you have.
  
  In that same regard, confidence in yourself will spread and radiate out. When people feel your confidence in yourself, they’ll gravitate to that and to you. You described yourself, and I couldn’t help but ask myself what was wrong. You’re not the cookie-cutter stereotypical girl…and in my view that is far more awesome and real. You have your own ways, your own style…all you have to do is embrace it and tell yourself “This is me.” “I’m not copying anyone else’s style.” I often find it’s the guys and girls who follow their own way and embrace their quirks that are the most fun to be around. Personally…I flourish my words in a manner that makes me sound too theatrical, and because I’ve learn to love that part of me…people often are enthralled when I talk. When I was in high school, you can only begin to guess what the guys thought of it.
  
  And…finally…to the crush. I’ll be blunt here. From the way you made it sound, he was talking about someone HE has a crush on with you, but is unaware you still harbor a crush for him? I can’t frankly say this situation will work out ONLY because it’s no good to love someone who won’t love you in return as much. Embrace your inner awesome (and trust me, from what you’ve said…you’ve got a lot of inner awesome you have to start embracing) and if he doesn’t fall in love with it, I’m sure someone will.
  
  I know it all sounds a little hokey when it’s put into words…but trust me, it’s more true than you realize. Don’t lose that beauty to a sea of negativity. Hold onto it tight, hug it like you would a friend that you never want to let go! Know that you ARE beautiful.

  Classic re-direction. By saying you don’t love him, and adding the “yet” to it, it’ll allow him to save face in case you don’t love him…and still allow him to feel right if you do. The whole thing with staring at the TV and not moving…is more than likely due to his nerves. A lot of people seem to think if they’re fidgety when they’re nervous…it’ll show, so they attempt the exact opposite to an extreme.
  
  The good news…you know he loves you. The question now is, do you love him?

  Snar’s words ring rather truthful. Sometimes though all it takes is to notice. Ask him how he’s doing, how he’s been. If you’re privy to the knowledge he’s been having problems, offer to listen…to help him vent and possibly find a solution. Often times all it takes is to talk it out, even with just yourself.
  
  In regards with the disconnect with people…but still wanting to help. Like Snar said, it’s actually quite natural to want to lend a hand. Depending on why you’re not a people person (whether you’ve been let down, or just find people distasteful in general) the knowledge that you CAN help, and the moral guidance that you SHOULD help a person in need, often drive people who would normally want nothing to do with someone to do something. It just means you have good moral fiber ^^;
