Excellent, thanks Moontoon.
Also, is that actually used as a name? Or do you simply mean it's common like how in English we sometimes say "choco," like "choco chips" or something. The fact that you capitalized it throws me off.

A noun always gets capitalized. Maybe it was wrong to do it when it's abbreviated, though o.o;
Anyway, an example that might be helpful;
Schoko-kuchen instead of Schokoladenkuchen (chocolate cake). So yeah, it's like you do it in english.

Oh, nouns are always capitalized in German? I know nothing about the language, so don't think I was saying you were incorrect; chocolate isn't a proper noun so I was confused why you capitalized it in German.

Yeah they are (about nouns always being capitalized). I'm really bad at explaining more complicated grammar, especially since it's not my first language. Heck, I can barely explain swedish properly haha.
I do know the schoko thing, though :)

Glad I could be helpful 
Pos: Sent a bunch of job applications again.
Neg: So pissed and upset at the idiots who honk at me while I drive. So what if I'm a bit slow sometimes Ō_Ō I'm still learning. Doesn't exactly help my confidence.
Neg: There's just been too much going on lately. No energy for fun stuff like playing games or drawing.

NEG: I really can't stand living at home at the minute. Don't get me wrong, I love my house, I'm very appreciative of the luxuries of living at home and not having to worry about things like the heating bill, but lately I have absolutely no privacy. I can't go out without getting interrogated, even if I'm just nipping to the shop. My mum just ordered me to my bedroom like I was 10 years old because I deleted something she had recorded ages ago by accident. It wasn't important, just a random show that is being repeated on Monday anyway, but still... Obviously I would miss home so much if I left, and I am in no financial position to move out, but I just want to be able to be me - do what I want, when I want, how I want. Not having to base my life around the nosiness of my parents and a 22 year old sister who acts like she's 40.

Someone who I admire a lot once said the following:
An enemy is not that bad.
An enemy is someone you can handle,
but if a friend starts beating you...
An enemy, don't worry about depending on him,
forgive him everything, for he doesn't know what he does.
A friend on the other hand, realizes that all to well.
An enemy hits you, that's what he's for.
You point at your other cheek, and life continues.
It's your friend, that betrays you.
If you're sentenced to death, your friend will claim not to know you.
If you need a place to hide from danger, your friend will have a pretext ready.
When you need him the most, he'll cut off all ties.
But an enemy! An enemy is always true to you.
He values your life so much, that he'd gladly give his own life to claim yours.
He'd blow himself up to get to you.
And at your dying place, an enemy is not a rare sight.
He's truly committed to your fate as well.
"So, would you like to be my enemy?"
I need someone I can depend on
Someone I can truly trust
Because an enemy, is someone you can handle.
But a friend...
You wouldn't even wish that fate upon your worst enemy.
What you do with it is up to you of course. I personally don't agree with everything in the text, and part of the beauty is definitely tarnished by my shabby translation from Dutch to English, but I find it beautiful nonetheless.
Maybe you can be frenemies with someone?

I get this too. These nerds on country roads always pass me and it freaks me out, especially on heavy rainy days. Better safe than sorry, imo. I've been driving for a few years but I rarely speed (because I'm paranoid at getting another speed ticket ffff).
Neg: sleep schedule is way off. Just woke up and it's near midnight ;-;
