I haven't turned on my XBOX in 2 months. I haven't read a book in 2 months. I haven't worked out in 2 months. Remodeling 2 houses at the same time, is difficult. I feel like I could sleep for a week. Thank God I'm almost done with my own.

I hear you. The only time I read is in the bathroom anymore. Otherwise I'm too fucking tired to read at night, don't have time for movies, and TV is a pay-per-view event at this point for me with the Pacers sucking up every extra bit of sleep I would get.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Well, I realized 3 things.

1) Chipping my tooth on monday is gonna cost me some money.

2) I also have to get down to San Diego for my friend's wedding.

3) The K-On movie is seriously giving me college flashbacks (not the good kind).

4) BUT IT'S ALSO MAKING ME SO HAPPY

5) That's the alcohol talking.

I know what you mean, but still, I could have vetoed it. My decision to not do so was a bit more rational than my posting last night (where the anxiety level really peaked because of everything coming together at once and the damned sleeping pill not doing anything to help things on the insomnia front). Basically, I feel like I should do something about that whole mess that my social behaviour is and I've been doing quite well, so I feel ready to tackle the next step. So, my friend, who's also the game master, offered me the possibility to veto the whole thing and I declined even after she asked a second time, thus one could say I brought it on myself, and despite what I wrote last night I'm still willing, by light of day, to give it a try. The worst that can happen, at least from my PoV right now, by day, is that I'll bully my way through it, which is what usually happens when I collect enough anxiety for it to into.. something else. I've got quite a temper when that happens. We shall see.

I do thank you for your concern, though

Given that then, perhaps this will turn out to be a good thing. This could be the perfect opportunity to be able to make inroads on beating this problem down while potentially making a new friend. You probably couldn't ask for a better chance to have an isolated attempt at dealing with something with shit associations. You'll be surrounded by friends, doing something you love and the subject is only guilty by association not one of the actual problems. Plus he sounds like he might be a nice guy, and you can probably still pull the plug in future if you can't handle it.
In light of that, you have sincere well wishes from me in dealing with this situation in a positive way

Moving house. Spent all day packing and dismantling furniture. Truck loaded, staying at in-laws tonight, ready for tomorrow.

Although you know you'll be unpacking it again soon, taking your home apart piece by piece is really quite... unsettling.

The feeling after playing neverwinter nights 2 for about 57 hour, and then I hit a bug right before the last fight so that everything is fucked up..

You lasted 57 hours without a serious bug? That's an achievement in itself.

Tornado in Oklahoma. Reportedly winds over 300mph, and at one point 2.5 miles wide. Town of Moore largely destroyed, including school with kids in it.

Stressing about lots of big bills coming up, the fact that we can't afford insurance, and trying to find a job that fits with my very restrictive schedule. Couple this with the fact that I've been feeling very down lately and I'm just in a piss-poor mood overall. It's nice not to be on the government's dime anymore, but I can see why many families just say fuck it and stay on Medicaid and Food Stamps. When making just a dollar more per hours suddenly means you're getting $200 less in food and no more medical insurance, where's the motivation to better your situation? Regardless, we have no desire to be back on any programs again, but that's more because of our own outlook rather than the system being effective.

The one bit of possibly bright news is that there's a decent chance I'll be able to get a position at CVS Pharmacy. The job will probably be boring as hell and I'm sure the pay will be a mediocre $8 to $8.50 an hour to start, but I need the money so that the family doesn't starve come August.

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

I don't really understand the logic of any cut-off point for aid. It's the same thing with student allowances and people at my work - they only work a couple of nights a week, because if they did a full week (like they would be willing to) or even stay too late, they earn too much and *poof* no more student allowance - a difference which the extra work wouldn't make up for. Why not gradate it so that people working more actually still get the difference, rather than, as you say, discouraging people from working because they're suddenly a couple hundred dollars worse off for an extra dollar of real, hard-earned money? Is the stuff you earn yourself somehow worth more at the store? No? So why the fuck would the system assume that once you're earning a certain amount still less than what you're getting then you're fine? O.o

Ass-backwards, that's what it is...

So yeah, updated version. phone is lost or buried in the woods. got absolutely shitfaced, went completely batshit insane ballistic on the ex, now she doesn't want to know me. old job turns out is a no-no as an option. wonderful fucking day.

So yeah. sobriety, let's try that.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Truth is, I dunno what's really messin with my groove. I kind of feel like I'm wasting any talent I have. I haven't the time to get a new web project started, or to write. I really wanna get a macbook, but can't afford it right now. But none of this is really it. I think I need a creative spark to point me in the write direction. I guess because of my work, I can't get too involved in anything in case I have to drop it and go to work and then lose the momentum. I'm feeling kinda down, I guess, and not very self confident.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

My shiny new BlackBerry Q10 requires a micr-SIM card. Meaning, I can't put in my old SIM to transfer contacts, and will have to redo my contacts one-by one from my old phone.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

This. I was worried I was in the same boat until I realized I could Bluetooth the info over - much easier. Almost had to go back to the days before SIM cards! D:

Does Blackberry not have a Sync feature? As in on Android I sync all my contacts with my gmail account so if I get a new phone I just hit sync again& there all my contacts are. Takes like a minute or so. I'm sure BB will have something similar...
