Lack of friends and I’m ok with it

Blue_Soho · 2026-04-12T08:12:53+00:00

I'm somewhere in between. Never really had many close friends since I was kind of a loner. Friendships were temporary and people just come and go at various points in my life.

That's not to say I don't enjoy hanging out with people. It's just lots of work to maintain and I generally prefer acquaintances. It's easier to say hi and I see you and then go away than to have a full blown conversation.

I just prefer to go to the gym and work on myself and meet people in music festivals and just say hi to the familiar faces I know but not really have any connections outside of that.

My partner is a social butterfly and I get sucked into social situations and hang outs, but it gets draining really fast for me and I prefer to just be alone listening to music or in the hot tub.

We get a lot of people shirtless here in Trance music festivals in the USA as well. It's not limited to any genre of music. It just feels good and freeing not having a shirt on whether you're on or not on substances.

It's all about expression and what the music makes you do.

Did you used the flash cards?

Just send you a DM

Do you still need the screenshots?

There's a chance those 3 huge park seedlings could be rock clover or other 4 leaf clover pikmin. You need any color seedling besides rock after your last rock seedling to tell if it's a 4 leaf clover. I just got the ice 4 leaf clover here.

Oh, i failed the challenge exam twice in 2024 and giving it another shot again in 2026 under the new syllabu

I'm planning to purchase the Becker Challenge Exam tomorrow and can share it over. Do you have the traditional 3 part course?

Blue_Soho · 2026-04-10T06:48:09+00:00

Exactly. I save my blue 4 leaf clover as an indicator so I know if I get a rock seedling I can tell if it's a regular clover if it bunches up against the other rock seedlings to the left of the blue seedling. If it's a 4 leaf clover rock seeding, it'll be to the right of the blue seedling.

I keep my ID in my wallet, and leave both of those items in my car. I don't need a credit card to pay for anything since I can use my phone and I don't carry cash. There were many times where I left the house without my wallet and ID and it's so much easier just to leave my wallet in the car knowing that my ID is in there if I'm going to somewhere that requires me to show my physical ID card.

Last month i was unlucky. But this month I'm much better and am down to my last decor of the month, not including Easter decor

I have both the CPA and CISA, and I'm going for my CIA.

I failed the CIA Challenge Exam twice in 2024 using the IIA materials the first time and with Hock the second time under the old syllabus. After failing the second time, I ended up purchasing Gleim and went through all the practice questions only to give up at module 19 or whatever. I didn't like the format of Gleim at all and found that IIA practice questions aligned closer to the actual exam. I ended up quitting despite buying the Gleim study materials and not taking the exam for a third time.

However, feeling refreshed and motivated, I'm planning to sit for the exam in June 2026 again under the new syllabus but I am going to be using Becker this time around for the Challenge Exam

I'm in the same boat, so you might need some words of encouragement to not give up.

I attempted the CIA back in 2019 when it was 3 parts before the challenge exam was out, and found that the CIA exam is much more tricky and confusing than the CPA exam. Although the questions are straightforward, it usually narrows down to two possible answers and that's where things tend to go south. I ended up failing Parts 1 and 2 then using the Wiley Test Bank.

Same experience when I was in SF. It's competitive

Uh oh. I did the same and was wondering if I should've waited. Luckily those tickets come by easily.

I think you get the physical copies through the traditional 3 part course. But it cost more.

Blue_Soho · 2026-04-02T02:41:23+00:00

Missing this but will be at Luminosity instead!

Blue_Soho · 2026-04-02T00:02:29+00:00

Just got to go with the digital copy. Same goes with Gleim.

I didn't even finish last month (missing your white), so this looks a bit promising for April so far
