Sorted through some old photographs with my family, since all of us were home today. It's amazing how much has changed since the 90s and even the 00s.

And yet, it's equally amazing how much has stayed the same - there are several photographs of me with my old Pokemon stuff, like my Charmander shirt, my Gameboy Color, and a Pokemon magazine. Oh and one old picture of me as a youngster (I was lying in a bed with Barney sheets) with a hoard of stuffed toys behind me. :)

^^You are a beautiful, cherished child of the universe. There is no failure.

^When I was really little, only a year old, mum or dad took a picture of me surrounded by all of the teddy bears they had picked up or were gifts. :)

Didn't make it to the movie, but I still had a great day :D Now I'm thinking of buying a Nintendo 3DS, because I have wanted one for quite some time and I really want to play some of the games for it.

DO IT! I bought a 3DS two years ago and I've had a blast with it. :D

I don't know how fragile (or dangerous) am I at this state...

All I know is that this is different from physical and/or mental exhaustion. :x I could definitely resist the former, the latter would put immediate effect.
But this state drags my functioning down instead, affecting both. It's like being sick, but I'm still physically healthy and I still could think. Only less controlled and more vulnerable.

It's no wonder why it's easily mistaken for something else. It's not easy to isolate this state from another.
And I still wonder why fragmentation hasn't occurred to me as of yet. Maybe I've been subconsciously resisting it, maybe it just takes more than that to reach that point, maybe I'm not letting something go yet.


Still, what certain is that -- I won't have a real break until around the end of the week. Therefore, I will have to put up with this for another 4-5 days. :x Hopefully.

I did indeed find a way to write that caters to the way my mind works (particularly my OCD) - I just make sure every chapter is exactly 100 words. No more, no less. Using this method I have had a very productive night - I wrote 500 words total. I want to be especially ambitious and write a 50,000 word novel like this, but I know that stories have a way of telling you when they're finished, so I don't mind if it wraps up before the big 50,000 milestone (which, in all likelihood, it probably will.)


Very cool. :) Interesting. If I try to write a 100-word story, or episode in a story, it’ll come out more like an essay though.

I'm not the only one complaining about the cold. Those who are on the same table as me, too, do feel the same.
Except I went and drank something warm and worn a jacket before they complained…


Oh, I meant, how did you feel about the format of the seminar as you described it? The fact that it was all verbal, few visual aids except for sign language interpreters?

How did your other roommates react? Crying? Falling asleep in class and on the ride home?

Tired like getting tired from travelling more likely.
But not exhausted or falling asleep or confused no... If so, then I've already been exhausted hours before they get tired.
Crying? Well, probably. Mostly during participation though. Justified that it's about peer counseling -- we practiced counseling. Therefore someone is bound to say something emotionally weighty...
But not all the way back home.


Since it was peer counseling, then maybe some tears were part of the deal, although I bet being tired might have made people more emotional than they otherwise would have been also.

You mean nobody fell asleep during the seminars, or even on the way home? They really weren’t exhausted? If so, I don’t understand how some people get so wired for an entire two-day conference on so little sleep. :? I’ve seen it, and I have no idea where they get the energy.

Heck, there's this newbie guy who's mostly with me throughout before, during, and after the event(except when sleeping. Poor guy whose roommates are mute and deaf, and he doesn't know sign language :lol: he got crazy at silence so bad, he went to my room and bug my roommates until midnight. And several occasions when he bugs someone else and I bug someone else).


Oh wow, that’s ironic, putting the guy who can’t stand silence in the room with deaf and mute people.

Always a good idea. :)

I stayed at this work place for too long. :x It's too slow.
And I already had thoughts of going back to school or moving away. I found enough connections for that, and had long laid-out those offers to me for years now. It's time that I'll take one of those offers.


Good for you! :D That's awful about your boss not understanding though. Better luck in your new endeavors. I hope there's some chance you won't have to suffer another few days as you're predicting also. :(

I have nothing to do, and I'm really bored, and I feel like crap, and I feel like I have no talent. 8O

... Or maybe I'm just hungry. :?

Try eating something and then see how you feel. I know that I tend to be in a bad mood whenever I'm hungry. Apparently it's common enough to warrant its own slang term - "hangry" (portmanteau of hungy & angry).

Yes. I love the word "hangry." It's a fun word. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I get depressed when I'm hungry. 8O Like, really depressed. ....Like, cannot feel happiness at all. 8O I wonder if that's a thing.

Yeah, you're right. I should. Thank you. :mrgreen:

Well, came close to falling off the wagon by wanting to drink a glass of wine, instead went to bed. Woke up and got a message from Mary saying that our drunk neighbor (Biatch) came down knocking on everyone's door saying she needed help - couldn't breathe and kept vomiting. Mary said she was in hysterics talking about a fight her and her daughter had a few days ago when she called the cops on her daughter for "stealing" her car while she was asleep. TRANSLATION: Her daughter came to borrow her car when she was passed out from drinking too much. So now she was feeling remorse for calling the police on her daughter.TRANSLATION: She was feeling sorry for herself which lead to her drinking too much which then lead to her throwing up continuously and having a panic attack and thus a hard time breathing. :roll: Lord help us.

Mary finally had to call an ambulance leading to several cops showing up along with the ambulance and two firetrucks. What a drama. I told Mary that we should write a book about all the crap that goes on in this place - I'd call it "The Condoplex Cuckoo 's".

Needless to say, I left the wine alone and ended up getting some flowering teas - caffeine free and drama free.

^ Ha, as awful as it sounds, there's sometimes nothing like another alcie falling way off the rails to make you re-think that step off the proverbial deep end yourself. I do hope your neighbour wakes up to herself sooner rather than later though.
I am thinking about the dead frog I found at my last job today. I had thought it was a plastic one, but it wasn't - it was all dried out and I found it on the floor. I picked it up and showed it to my employer, who said it probably came inside and then couldn't get back out, and there was no moisture in there so it died. She had a stray frog in her bathroom the week before, but as she found it and put it back outdoors, hopefully it lived.
