I don't understand how people can do this. I don't think I'd be able to just take a dump and walk away, leaving it there unaccounted for. Even animals normally try and kick up some grass to cover it up to some extent, I think I'd have to be super drunk to be able to just take a dump and walk away with no remorse. I'm almost impressed that someone is capable of doing this to be honest.

It could possibly that they did flush but didn't check to see if it had all been flushed or whether it needed the second flush

The worst is when you see that at work though =[

 If I don't pass maths on Thursday there's no chance of me getting into university.

 If I don't pass my A2 exams, there's no chance of me getting into university.

 I want to go to university to provide a better livelihood for my future family.

 
 There's so much stress right now and even though not going to university isn't the end of the world, it would mean a lot to me if I got in.

Stupid politics paper asked an essay on whether giving the judiciary extra powers leads to a greater separation of powers - was hoping for one on whether a codified/entrenched constitution would benefit us, more to write about there =/

I had to call a friend to pass on a message from another friend, and it was so stressful I'm literally shaking and almost cried. It was mostly because I was afraid his brother would pick up (which he did) and I'd really just rather avoid him if possible. (it's weird though, I don't mind him in person, but talking to him on the phone really freaks me out. No idea why)

I've invented a new game, it's called Bad Luck Cleveland. Here's how it works: You root for a Cleveland sports team, then as soon as they're about to amount to something, an unforeseen circumstance (injury, bad game management, bad management, stupid luck for the other team, etc.) occurs and they lose. Nope, i'm not bitter at all, just tired of getting so close and then losing.

Oh well, at least the US beat Holland 4-3 today.

 It wouldn't be so bad but it's all. the. freaking. time.

aaaaaAAAAA //pushes table over// dont see a chiropractor you idiot!!!!! see or find a physical therapist.or a reputable physiotherapist.

i dont care how desperate you are dont see a chiro unless u want to make ur next post from a wheelchair (http://whatstheharm.net/chiropractic.html)

while u crippling urself would be hilarious it wouldn't actually be hilarious at all and it would be very Regrettable and Tragic

so for gods sake just look for something else or maybe just buy yourself an olympic bar and get a good Deadlift form going if ur like every other person with "bad posture" (i.e. untrained and stiff lumbar/lower back muscles). i mean i dunno if thats ur problem but everyone should do a deadlift

well that is most definitely an option but my t-shirts need ironing whereas my shirts don't and my only kinda warm weather esque jackets / coats are black so black skinny jeans would clash

if I had the right jacket / my t-shirts were well ironed I'd most definitely do that though =]

 Today's exam went okay... tomorrow's exam should be on gender because I can't remember doing any explanations for ethnic inequality - if anything, it'll be how EMG women suffer and we've barely touched black feminism.

 I'm bricking it tbh. Absolutely bricking it.

 I just need Cs to get into my lowest university and whenever I'm confident I absolutely bomb the test so my confidence has been slaughtered throughout college.

 It's gotten to a point where I can't even write "the" without panicking.

 It seems that feminism, functionalism, and Weberianism are likely for gender tomorrow.

 Haven't actually started revising yet either but I was going to power-list studies and stats for any 20 marker on gender and methods is pips anyway.

 Feminism is easy enough, functionalism is just "lel gender roles" and we haven't really touched Weberianism... hopefully it'll be a general outlook on gender? That'll be nice.

 Honestly, it turns out that my only downfall is that I include no statistics and I don't always relate to the question.

 Panic levels are through the roof.

Ok, to everyone who reacted to my comment on feminism, I apologize and I have removed that part from it. I'm not going to bother explaining because it'll just cause more problems knowing me.

I'm trying to watch the Treehouse at E3 for nintendo but my tablet is acting up.

E3 has come and soooo many awesome games!  Final Fantasy VII Remake (Can't believe I'm typing that hahaha) the Last Guardian (That too) Shemnue III (Wow), SUPER Mario Maker, Fallout 4, Metal Gear Sold V. :)

But my job ended last week so I'll have no money to get them! Nor for my newly  re-discovered love for DC Comics and manga. :(

But I got a postive feedback from my last job! And I feel confident that I can get anther one soon! :)

Also Arkham Knight comes out, but man, 5 days is far too long to wait. :(

I also feel very guilty in wanting to buy the season pass for Arkham Knight for the extra story missions.  I shouldn't support pratices like that.. but still.

(Also on that note, wow at all the pre-order bonuses, I'm just happy I'm getting the Harley Quinn story stuff.)

 I've done okay for gender inequalities tonight.

 Dreading tomorrow as I have no statistics.

 Gender might not even come up.

 My favourite thing about radical feminism is the complete lack of statistics. It makes it a lot easier to memorise.

 This Charleston Shooting is God-awful. If I feel upset by it, I can't begin to think about how those who were impacted directly must feel.

 Maybe it's time that guns were taken away.
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: SirBlaziken on June 18, 2015, 19:00
Let's be honest. If there's gun control laws made, the only ones who will follow them are the ones who wouldn't do crap like this in the first place. I feel bad for the families of the victims that someone would even think about it, but that's how I see it. I'll probably catch hell for it. May the victims rest in peace.

Then again, these shootings are a problem, and you have a point. Maybe It's time we think a little more carefully before we sell guns to whoever.

hhhhh the year above seemed nice?? i guess??  but my year's just a bit disengaged i guess..........  idk the main subject i've really enjoyed was drama bc there were lots of nice people but everything's loud and scary and i don't really like it like the reason i'm leaving my school is because there's no pastoral system at all and it doesn't look like they have one there either really...  i don't like it i hate school

It's only worth about 50 quid, that's how much they should be selling it for!

See, I've got a slight advantage in that I'm 22 rather than 17 going for my first car, but I did a bit of research and I picked a 1.1 Saxo (lol) 2001 iirc, and by paying monthly it'd total at £1600 for the year which isn't as bad as I thought it'd be but still.

The plan is to just get a cheap thing that'll run for a year, and then get something better after that. I'm kind of excited, although I've still got the theory and practical pass yet (but I'd be very disappointed if I didn't have a car by the end of the year)

 George Osborne (and the Tory government) just shafted thousands of working class students.

 Like... all these things are good for the circle-jerkers who were raised with a silver spoon in their mouths since they were going to use daddies money to get themselves through uni anyway, but when you've actually had to work for everything you have whilst going through debt and depression, it's just another nail in the coffin. A student grant is more than just "omg lets get bladdered on Wind Street" it's a life line that would have let me get to and from university whilst paying for any books that I need to buy - I don't want to be put into horrendous scenarios by having an extra loan which will probably just be "pay this off by ur last day or hav ur degree revoked" which is something the conservative government would love.

 I understand that the initial loan is paid off once you're earning enough but with an additional loan that's being put in place just to shaft the working class, I don't know what's going to happen and now I'm more unsure about my future.

 It's like playing a game against a cheater since the odds are always stacked against you.

What are your choices?

I can have virtually anything I want that isn't 'prestige' (Jag, BM, Merc, Audi etc). Which is the problem. Not that I can't have anything prestige, but that there are loads of great cars available without having to get 40k's worth of badge.

The guy who chose our company car got one of those new sort of businessy looking Mazdas. I can't remember what the model is but it looks almost like a Merc but actually looks really cool in red - unlike Mercs. If it was me, I'd go for one of those.

I'm looking at an SUV type thing. At the minute it's the Toyota RAV-4, Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai, Ford Kuga and Honda CR-V. I'm trying to get most bang-for-buck out of stamdard kit which at the minute is working in favour of the Sportage. I have to have heated seats to relieve my lower back pain on long journies

That's something else I don't get. Why do people drink just to get drunk? I don't understand what could possibly be fun about that. Eh, I've never had alcohol so guess I won't know until I get older or something.

Most alcohol tastes disgusting. People only drink it to get drunk because of the effects it gives you, especially with the younger generation. I mean, having a cold bev in the summer can be really refreshing but you drink more and more of them for the drunk feeling.

The same applies to a lot of stuff, it's something you pick up when you're directly exposed to it.

Had some bad experiences like blacking out but I got the mad binge drinking out of my system? (I hope aha) Sometimes it takes a lot to get me drunk, depends on what I'm drinking tbh. Don't drink as much now because I'm working most weekends but I love a good mad sesh every so often to get nice and drunk and not care!
I'm either apologetic and sad or hyper and over emotional there's not much of an in between.

 I got wasted, picked up a sanitary pad I found on the floor outside Tesco, took it back to the flat, stuck it on my mates back, found it hilarious, and then passed out after downing a bottle of vodka. Drinking is fun when the company isn't the best since you can make the best out of it and tolerate boring conversations.

 My friends enjoy me when I'm drunk since I'm still nice to be around :')

Depends where you go, you'll be able to get them for fairly ordinary prices if you go to a rubbishy place, but like I've seen them over £10 a pint before in hotel bars and stuff. But yeah, £5-£8 is where you'd be looking in Central London, from what I've seen anyways.

 One of our dogs broke something that my mother really liked. It's annoying because there was literally nothing there for the dog but the dog still went out of her way to do it. However; this is the first time, that I'm aware of, where the dog has one something like this.

 It's irritating because one of the reasons was that I haven't walked them (because they're obviously just my dogs) but I've been busy these last few days?

 Obviously everyone expects me to walk all three of them and since I can't walk all three at once, I have to do two rounds. Nobody really helps me either since I'll be struggling with the dogs in the next room, loudly asking for assistance, and I'm left to struggle by myself.

I have the opposite problem. Anyone who shows interest in me are usually like ten years younger than me. I put it down to my youthful good looks and nothing to do with the fact I'm 30 going on 13.

the nurse almost took my arse off while giving me my shot today. i cant walk or sit down i swear to god she fired that thing from a shotgun at close range. she severed my spine in 4 places from the impact alone. i saw the needle come out the other side of my body. i lost about 7 pints of blood on the way home from this tiny injection spot on my asscheek. im currently at the funeral planning service writing my will and whatnot. catch me at the morgue later. cause of death: lethal injection to buttock. im still in shock.

Hope you can sit down tomorrow because reading this made my day God bless

My college somehow went two years before realising that a module we did wasn't valid anymore and that we had to take a new one to pass it. I've got all this extra work to do because they messed up so badly!
The only reason they realised was because I went up to get a print out of my modules and I hadn't been passed in one, they said they would look into it. I thought it was one we did in 1st year but after pouring over everything we didn't even do it. It turns out it was a new one that you do now in your first year. Why should it affect us when we were all under the impression we passed 1st year and received our hnc? Don't get why we need to do all this extra work because of their mess up.
Beyond fuming right now, I'm supposed to be going to uni!!!
The uni accepted my modules no problem and gave me an offer based on what I and my referee said so I've technically lied on my application form :)
The college is an absolute train wreck, 3 years into running the course and its been problem after problem. Put it this way only one of the current 3rd years are progressing onto the honours year of the degree, the rest are resitting 3rd year or have dropped out. One was designing business cards with Microsoft word, bearing in mind this is a graphic design based course...
Absolutely raging and so so so done with that place aaaaaaaa

Anyway, the main point is school bus = welcome to stuffy kingdom!  :dry:

Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: sylar on July 21, 2015, 18:10
what classes at catcalling these days like whistling and that?

whistling yeah
generally commenting on a girls appearance either positively or negatively as if it concerns you (hey sexy/nice legs/nice tits/that dress makes you look sexy/your legs are too hairy/you need to shave your armpits/youd look so much nicer if you smiled/youd look much nicer with longer hair/etc)
sexually driven comments or compliments
basically treating girls like objects and not like human beings and feeling like its your place to eye them up or talk to them like theyre a piece of meat

like god i see it from men all the time just stay in your sweaty hairy lanes nobody wants you or cares what you think

ironic for me to say that because im swerving so messily out my own lane but guess who got catcalled as if i was a girl today! im heated!
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: Liam on July 21, 2015, 19:11
Ahh i see, yeh i always thought it was a bit weird and gimpy that people would whistle at girls as they walked by. Even makes me feel uncomfortable tbh. I don't really see or hear much of it so i haven't given it much thought in the past, hence my confusion. If i was to see a pretty girl walking down the street and i thought, yeah i find her attractive and had a quick glance at her would that count? Is there like a discrepancy between ogling and making them feel uncormfortable, or perhaps trying to make conversation and telling her she looks nice?

I dunno, i'm just a bit confused as to at what point it becomes harassment and stops being friendly.

generally i don't mind too much if someone's just looks for a couple of seconds or so but it gets uncomfortable when men who are at least 20 years older stick a head out of the car to look at you and wink and raise their eyebrows like that is very very weird and uncomfortable but i don't mind if people just look.  telling someone they look nice/ trying to make conversation is fine i'd say as long as you've walked up to them and said hi and introduced yourself and asked if you can walk with them for a bit etc and made sure they don't feel uncomfortable with it


essentially don't yell "woah nice tits!!!" and a barrage of things i don't hear bc i'm trying to fend off a panic attack and all is good

Post by: sylar on July 21, 2015, 20:15
yeah like taking a glance is fine but theres a sort of like...
after about 5 seconds it begins to get weird especially if youre staring at the titty or the Ass type deal. 10 seconds is too much and 20 should probably lead to some kind of intervention from a passerby or a friend.

I'm getting harassed like that by my supervisor's daughter. It's flattering but at the same time it's like whoooa. I even got sent a video where she was talking all about me and what she was gonna do to me D:

^ to add as long as you FEEL good and practice healthy eating and exercise habits that's all you need... some people swing more one way than another and they're still in good health. honestly i'm sure you look perfect and as long as you're getting all of the calories and nutritional junk you need along with getting your heart rate up you're good.

i have a lot of friends who are incredibly healthy and struggle with weight gain. i had a friend where when he took off his shirt you could count all of his ribs but he ate a ton and was really in great shape, although he wished he was heavier. he said his weight situation improved when he got to college though :p

gotcha, be careful on the things like jogging tho re: cardio if you have bad joints. afaik unless you have your stride analysed and perfected and proper running shoes from some nerd in a sports/running shop to compensate for any stride errors it can cause more harm than good w/ torsion on the knees and ankles etc. if you're already suseptible to that kind of thing. swimming is a very joint-kind cardio exercise but swimming is also boring as heck and i dont think they allow you to wear shirts in swimming pools if you're a shy fatty like i am.

i tried to Lift to sort me dodgy joints out to force those ligaments and tendons and synovial fluids to Harden Up but im too out of shape for even a bunch o deadlifts and pushups. adrenal glands freaked out, immune system took a total nosedive and i got a super bad cold in my first week SIGH

yoga is a nice gateway tho for Joint Help, some of those positions are deceptively hard and you feel SO good once you've finished, all ur muscles feel all noodley and limp and great and the Constant Ache goes away for just a little bit
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: Kpyna on July 23, 2015, 05:21
^ as well i want to add that running won't necessarily cut weight faster than lifting. weight loss is ALL about calories in, calories out, and you can burn plenty of calories lifting. not only that but you gain muscle mass and thus definition at the same time which makes you LOOK like you weigh less a lot faster even if secretly you don't. yoga and swimming are also good options but lifting is pretty easy to do at home or just go to a cheapo gym. that being said though cardio is important for your heart and going for a quick jog in the morning to get your heart rate up is so ideal. otherwise you really don't need it.

Yeah I've been the same pretty much all my life, the only time I don't eat is when I'm really really stressed, I just sort of forget and adrenaline starts fuelling me lmao. Like with college the last few months I lost weight but I've probably put it all on again? I don't know there's no scales in my house so
like she just automatically assumed that I must have an eating problem but no I don't. Like my legs and arms are spindly but I've got chub on my belly and I don't look gaunt or w/e sigh

so i went back to chipotle to get another and the guy was like, "hey, you're back for more!" and i was like, "you won't believe what just happened to me..."

ALSO last night i met this cute guy at a party and i woke up so hungry and before he got up so i left without getting his number lmao life sux

^Thank you for voicing my frustrations on a certain person, because I would've worded it way wrong.

Well, my hair can't stay flat no matter what I try, and it gets tangled. When I comb it, I keep pulling a lot out. I guess i'd better just cut it and be done. It's a shame, because I like how my hair is now.

theyre also completely missing out the fact trans women are victims of transmisogynistic violence on a daily basis. they need to be afraid every day just as cis women do. just because they dont face the same biological issues cis women face, doesnt mean theyre completely safe from violence.

edit: not to mention their points are completely cissexist! menstruation and pregnancy affect all people with vaginas and a uterus! which doesnt start and end with cis women! their points are also very ironic; they act as if shes never going to face oppression women do while being violently transmisogynistic. lol.
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: Kpyna on July 26, 2015, 18:11
^ that's a good point -- the chances for people to incite violence on you for being trans is SCARY high. i seem to recall a statistic saying like 1/4th of all trans people experience hate related violence against them in their lives, and the chance only goes up if you're MtF. i also made the point on my twitter because they wanted to talk about how she could never give birth that infertile women are women too! so messed up on so many levels.

 i despise that there are people my age who are apparently huge advocates for gay rights (like this girl) but they don't extend that same courtesy to transgendered people even though it's like... i don't know i've always seen the two issues as morally similar for some reason. i guess it makes you realize how many people are just conditioned into thinking things that politically correct and don't actually come to those morality conclusions at their own will.

i don't know... the post was like a 5 paragraph affair and i wanted to find it because there was soooo much more. i was gonna call the girl out but then when i looked at who posted it's one of the girls im living with next year... >_> it's gone now though so hopefully someone else did that good work.

this is made worse by the fact that i feel like i don't have much to complain about since i've spent a lot of time with my friends and i know that relatively speaking i am having one of my better summers but damn it's just so long now that i'm in college

That seems like good stuff. I've never really had eczema this bad before haha. The prescription stuff i went on seems to be working wonders so far, it'll probably be gone the day after tomorrow.

I used to have it on my hands too but I got rid of it completely because my doctor prescribed medical paraffin and it came in this really big tub and I had to apply it to my hands and then put cling film over it and then put a glove to hold the cling film. That's the story of how I wore gloves to bed when I was 10. It worked really well though.

I had this yellow stuff which was supposed to be more powerful than the parafin and had handkercheifs instead of gloves (Called them boxing gloves as a kid). It never worked; so now I just deal with it.

But then I saw this kid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4IzR4dw1qc) and realised I can't really complain.

Edit: Apparently prescription fees went up on the 1st of April to £8.20. For three months I still thought it was £8.05. Sneaky health service...

Haha yeah I'm not too keen on doing that... I have hyperhydrosis and my hands don't react too well to being tightly wrapped :s I've been on prednisone and it's making way better progress than the ointment I put on before. My doctor told me to try a gluten and dairy free diet and I was like no, no thanks. I hardly even eat gluten to begin with, but you can't deprive me of sweet sweet bread product for a month to try to determine if I have a sensitivity or not, smart medicine woman. I do wanna get an allergy panel test done because my doctor is wondering if I touched or ate something that flared it all up. It was covering like half my palm earlier, all cracked and itchy... gross.


edit: just had a guy creepy creepy (screenshot worthy) hit on me and then i said "to be real you're not my type" and he's like, "alright, what is your type"

 So I've had my results today but I don't understand what I'm looking at and I'm having to wait another week in order to find out if I have gotten my maths GCSE. I'm fairly certain that I've gotten into my second choice but I think I have enough points to get into my first?

I currently can't afford a drawing tablet, so I use my 3ds xl with pokemon art academy as one.
(Works well, I use miiverse to get them to my pc instead of taking the micro SD out, which is a pain.)

The point is is that It seems I'm always low on money, no matter how much I'm making

Trust me, after the crippling fear of the first few weeks subsides and you learn your way around, it's a lot better than middle school.

my high school was 4,000 kids. trust me, the size will be a blessing. you'll find out when you get to college and you learn how awful high school was for people with like 50 kids in their graduating class.

well, i don't know if you've gotten to the part in school yet where you learn more euro history, but that's really really key to understanding the book. if you haven't taken a serious euro history course yet i encourage you to do so and then you'll understand and like the ending imo. i read 1984 when i was 12 and i thought it was like... alright... but then when i read it again at 18 i understood everything.

i gotta ask though because its my favorite question among those i meet who read the book for school or something: what would be in your room 101? mine would be bees stinging me to over and over to death haha maybe put me on a high balance beam where i could fall down and injure myself but not die while the bees are out too.

They don't offer a course like that at my HS, so i'll probably have to wait until I go off to uni. As for my Room 101, it would probably involve either jumping into a pit of spiders or taking it into the sky during a storm and make me plummet to my death from there.

blaze i'd recommend reading animal farm with analysis of the allegory alongside it because tbh it's not 100% u know it now but it gives you a very very good gist of what's going on in 1984 and what the allegory there is


my room 101 would probably involve wasps and like irl jumpscares that move just little enough for there to be an element of suspense and then they jump and each time everything is dormant for a little bit longer or shorter than expected so that it's a massive source of startlement when it happens.

Can't decide whether to get my G491 exam remarked because in the other 2 physics modules I got 58/60 and 143/150 but in that one I only got 68/90 and I didn't feel it went badly, but then it's not actually going to effect my overall grade it's just I'm pretty sure it's been marked wrong. Might have to get a copy of my exam script first and sort of like remark it myself and see if I think it should change much but it's like £13 to do that and then £42 to get it remarked so that's like £55 and it won't actually do much, it just feels wrong.

 I hate the way "vacuum" is spelt.

 My father has just come into my room, rearranged my stuff, opened a closet that hasn't been opened in years, and taken my dart board so that he and my brother could play with it. It wouldn't be a problem but it's half two in the morning and I know that they'll keep it and damage or lose my darts in the process.

 I'm actually quite annoyed because it's likely that my board will be going in the shed and it'll go into the attic once they're done with it because nobody has respect for my stuff in this house. I remember coming home once to find my dice box missing and nobody had the decency to tell me what happened to it even though they left the little "pillow" I had put in there.

 To top it all off, the door to the closet is falling off and everything that had to be moved is sliding over.

 It's half past two in the morning. Why couldn't this wait until the morning? Because I mentioned that I had a dart board that I would love to hang in my room.

 Nah, he's literally taken it from me to give to my brother whilst lying to my face.

Everyone seems to know divorce is inevitable because counselling hasn't worked for quite a few years and they're only together "for the kids" but idk it makes me feel weird that i'm really involved of the lives of these kids where this could be the beginning of a strange time in their life. hangs on my conscience

 Are we actually going to be receiving beatings in uni? I've always imagined the uni peeps to be from sheltered middle-class families.

 Anyways, I wanted to start an AoS army/force but I can't decide on which faction to choose because none of them click with me. The same happened when I tried MtG and I couldn't find a deck theme that I liked.

We've got something called freshman friday that we use to scare the crap out of freshmen. Basically, some people haze some of the freshmen in creative ways. Most of the time it doesn't actually happen though.

We've got something called freshman friday that we use to scare the crap out of freshmen. Basically, some people haze some of the freshmen in creative ways. Most of the time it doesn't actually happen though.

We had something kinda similar, our pep rally took place like 2 weeks into the year on a friday and basically if you didn't cut the pep rally you were there to haze the freshmen. Imagine 3,000 teenagers chanting "Go home freshmen!" at another group of 1,000 teenagers. Administration always flipped out, and usually at least one freshman would wind up crying because I mean damn I don't blame them it was kinda surreal my first year when randomly in the middle of this pep rally almost everyone started shouting that in unison o_o we also had some kid dress up as the "freshman catcher" with khakis and a khaki jacket with a huge net, and whenever a freshman was being loud and obnoxious he would throw the net over them. It took administration like halfway through the day to put an end to that, but I wish they just let it happen.

my friend went to a different high school and they had Freshman Friday too and a lot of the hazing took place on facebook and twitter and he ended up posting "i have an idea, let's just put all the freshmen in one room and bomb it"... he came into school the next day and got put in cuffs (but not arrested) and suspended for 10 days because that does constitute a bomb threat I suppose.

 I dunno. I wasn't obnoxious as a freshman so I never got hazed. The closest thing I did to hazing is once a freshman asked me for directions when I was a senior and we had just changed the numbering of the buildings around so I was trying to make sure I was sending her in the right direction and then she says, "wow, if you can't make up your mind, i'll just ask someone else. i don't wanna be late". so then i suddenly had a moment of clarity and i told her exactly where she needed to go for her class, the 4th floor of the english building. There is no fourth four of the english building and her actual class was 8 minutes in the other direction.

The freshman catcher thing actually sounds pretty funny tbh. I didn't get hazed because I was a nobody, and I knew a couple of people probably.

we got told all the usual stuff before we started secondary after the p7s came back from their 3 day visit. Stuff like "the sixth years will put your head down the toilets" etc and the stories about certain teachers, some were true though! We were all terrified of 'Rambo' and 'flower power'. One of the best teachers was one of the history ones, he used to let you out early for lunch if you were a Celtic fan and all of the rangers fans had to wait another 5 minutes   8)
There was always that one kid who's name preceded them in each year as well.
I remember for some reason in the cdt workshops there was one of those body outlines on the floor (I have no idea why) but the teachers used to say it was because "wee chris in first year got his arm cut off by the bandsaw and collapsed and died right in this very spot!"

You'd be surprised what kind of morons they let into universities. There were people determined to be the 'popular' people on campus and some blocks of accommodation (Mostly the ones where people did PE degrees) were determined to get some sort of reputation.

Not everyone that goes to uni is sheltered. Depends on where you go. The ones I went to were former polytechnics where anybody that did a PE degree thought they were a 'lad' and the most you'll get is an 'initiation' which usually involves some sort of shot drinking for 'bantz'. I ended up with a fun bunch of people that just wanted to play Football Manager all day.

Second and third years tend to live elsewhere/off campus so you won't get your head kicked in. It's a uni. It's more grown up than school.

how selfish of me to want to see all of my friends before I go away how very selfish!! it always seems to me that tries to make the effort too.
Same thing happened on my last two birthdays like for my 20th I was going to have a few drinks and go for a meal but that fell through. One of my friend's excuses was that she was fixing her car like ????
This year my best friend went to his 21st with his new bf instead of mine (I sound spoiled but bearing in mind we've been friends for like 17 years) even if he had shown face for half an hour but nope nothing. Another was sick which was understandable but
Been trying to arrange to meet up with two of them over the summer but there's always some excuse like I'm beginning to think they don't like me, I'm just the awkward 3rd friend when they're both together.
I honestly don't know why I bother I'm obviously just a selfish piece of crap and a doormat at that. But then I feel guilty for thinking this way bc I know some of them have stuff going on. I can't help overanalysing everything either like the ... at the end of the text suggests "no pls I would rather not"

every time i come to this thread i just get so mad about that comment i pointed out last time honestly ooooooft no offence but sometimes yall really test me.

I'll start by saying that when I originally saw Shaymin's comment it didn't sit right with me, and although I haven't got round to replying it until now it did play on my mind a bit. I do also think it'd be fair to give the benefit of the doubt and perhaps say it was lazily worded and came across wrong? However I do think there is a sort of cultural elitism that favours those that go to uni. Fair enough some of the most prestigious courses at the most prestigious universities require great logical minds that set you apart from the rest (in terms of academia) - but to dismiss those that can't, or perhaps choose not to, go to uni I find is quite an obnoxious view.

I think part of the problem stems from the way we're taught in school (at least from my experiences). You're told you start at nursery > primary > high school > college > uni or whatever without really being exposed to the alternatives. I have mates that dropped out in the first couple weeks of uni because it really just wasn't for them. Nothing to do with how smart or dumb they are. They're both working now and doing better than me aha. There shouldn't be a stigma attached to not going to uni, I for one have never felt above others because I'm doing a degree and they're not.

(apologies if I'm reading into your comment too much and broadening what you were meant to say, just thought I'd say what I think while we're here.

At uni you're gonna meet a lot of dickheads, but I suppose it varies from uni to uni, depending on who you hang around with, what kind of nights out you go on, where your uni is and how big your uni is. Someone at my uni had to drop out in freshers because he got his head kicked in and sustained pretty bad head damage. I doubt you'll see any second or third years picking on the first years physically, not because everyone's smart at uni (lol) but because in general most people grow out of that. Good people are good, arseholes are arsehols, regardless. :angel:

Everyone going to uni don't get yourself too worked up. It won't be as scary as you think, just make of it what you can. Personally it was the best choice I've ever made but on the opposite side of the coin don't be afraid to talk to someone if you don't like it - it's bound to happen to some people.

jokes on them cos i stuck w/ it and still hobbled my broken braine thru to graduate with a 2:2 (cost me my sanity thereafter for ~a year or so, only just gettin out of it now) which aint much to other people but considerin i got that entirely myself w basically zero learning support or help from anyone else i think its an Achievement!!!!!! (http://i.imgur.com/zyqco9L.gif)

my coursework was all Firsts and my labwork was firsts but exams were all embarassing seconds and thirds cos exams are hell for a dumbo like me and what do you know examined work is 75% of the overall degree!!!!!! //windows fanfare.wav//



in my next life tho im going Vocational cos damn if that aint where the Money is while u sweep out jobs from underneath all the useless graduates

the classic "kid told they're so special and intelligent all the time but it backfires when they get out into the big bad world cos they're not actually that special or intelligent, really" scenario. could it be.......YOU'RE "too stupid to go to uni"???





p.s. dont go for game development if ur like so much other "depressed"/"mental situation deliberately left ambigious" people and cba to study cos ohhhhh it makes me anxious or w/e and then the camera pans back and ur on ur 3rd twitch stream/guild raid of the night. game design will be a misery for you as well unless you get used to the idea you will have to study and Get good at a lot of stuff you dont find interesting cos thats basically what a degree is about! cos then it turns out all the boring stuff you hated is actually important/useful!!!! see also: common First Year Art Student archetypes.

uni is basically "can u study stuff and pass exams/do coursework with a ridic workload and also network" and all the students drink cos it is a living hell. the networking aspect is really important cos its true what they say, its not what you know but who you know.


p.p.s. cos im wonderful and amazing i'll give u this seed wisdom for free: if you really care about game development and it aint just a "maybe this will make me famous on youtube for minimal effort" pipedream download yourself the Unreal Engine 4 (https://www.unrealengine.com/what-is-unreal-engine-4) or the Unity 5 Engine (http://unity3d.com/5), both free* engines that commercial game designers are using.
read tutorials etc. and make something. use blender and luxrender (also both free) for asset production if u dont want to shell out money for UE5/Unity's marketplace stuff. you will most likely need a Portfolio if you want to get into game design so you best start now

there are other game engines sure but UE4/Unity is the best start. lucky for you they moved onto a "charge the commercial users and let personal/hobbyist users off free" as a revenue-generating platform in the last half-year or so which means a lot of prospective game designers can get their feet wet before jumping in for a Commercial License. if that seems too much like a Fuss or its Too Hard then game development isn't for you either, unless you want to learn a programming language like c/c++/obj-c/java for mobile development (even tho unity and UE4 have mobile deployment iirc). hth!!!!!!!

and i got into the car and we were halfway down the motorway when i opened it and like

it was just... two bits of bread... and a slice of cheese between them?
no butter or salad or ANYTHING just. dry bread and cheese. i checked the packaging to see if id just picked up a bad one but no thats. how it was described. bread and cheese. felt like i was dealing with rations christ.

I hate how they say it's free but it's not really free it's just a pretty long free trial and then you have to start paying. IMO Windows 7 is still perfect, but that's just me...

A decent friend made a couple of  passive-aggressive tweets and hell I know that's it aimed at me. P-A tweets are like the worst to be on the end of.

The friend is having a bad day but those tweets make me not have any sympathy for them at all.

I'm completely naive to all this computer / tech stuff and I upgraded Windows 10 and I like it



it's weird how even just the smallest, innocuous things can cause you to reminisce about things and it just leaves you feeling just... low? Like, we were just discussing what to have for tea and just little mannerisms and stuff just left me like "damn"

yeah i really hope they dont EOL windows 7 any time soon? i'd suggest linux as a third way but ughhhhhhhhhhhhh never do a linux. not even once.


i mean they only just EOL'd XP a good year or so back and they're still having trouble shifting grandmas and town councils off XP so i think we're safe on w7 for a while??? (macs are probably just as bad but i just find the allure of a Pretty Linux that actually has development put into it too alluring right now cos i do love some parts of linux like the apt-get functions etc. gnome 3 = least terrible linux)

p.s. any windows 7/8 people dont install the (optional) KB3075249 and KB3080149 updates cos they patch in the telemetry/keylogging crap on w7/w8 and all

 honestly didnt think they'd be breakin the One Good One Bad rule any time soon but welp here we are, they're doing the whole Facebook/Google thing SIGH. maybe this is just like when all us windows 98 users had to sit through windows 2000 and windows ME (anyone remember that? no ofc not cos it sucked so bad) until they finally released XP

 Ah, it's difficult to trust one of my friends right now because he's become fairly deceitful and he is becoming narcissistic and fairly irritating. I'm torn between trying to keep this friendship going and drifting apart which is horrendous since we've been friends for about 7 or 8 years.

 It's worse because I'm usually like this when going through depression but I'm fine and I'm thinking straight. He likes having "power" and refuses our groups to mingle and he probably spreads crap about me to any of his friends that show interest. Actually, I'm fairly certain he does since he usually tells people about the one or two horrible things I've done opposed to the numerous nice things I've done.

 He's always telling people about how homophobic and racist I am when he's the one awkwardly making rape jokes, calling people faggots, and slagging off my friend because she's from India. It's like he's in denial about his own traits so he just tells people that I'm all these things so when he slips up he can say "oops, I guess it's rubbed off on me". It's legitimately annoying when I'm the one who's always stopping him when he's being racist/homophobic/sexist because it makes me uncomfortable and it makes him look stupid.

 It's awful when you realise how twisted one of your best friends has become.

This friend keeps whining about how he thinks people (read: me) are ignoring him and avoiding him in chat.

 Man... watching this Carrie film is difficult.

 I thought Carrie was meant to be a plumper lass who wasn't so much of a looker but they've made her thin and attractive. I always thought the mother was a larger woman too? Everything is weird because it's set in the present day and all the characters seem "off".  The book even states that Carrie eats out of boredom and that she has pimples and messy hair and a "dull, stupid, bovine face".

 My copy was printed in 1981 so things have probably changed within the book but idk... the film didn't do one of my favourite books any justice.

my professor who was really unsympathetic towards me when i was in the car crash just emailed me back this morning after i asked if he had my attendance records for my insurance company FOR the car crash

"Elizabeth,

I gave all my attendance records to the school week by week as the semester progressed. I have no specific information to provide. What I can provide is that your grades early in the semester were very low, failing at one point, and you improved dramatically late in the semester. You proved you were a good student with your late work. If this helps, let me know and I will put it in letter form for your use."

Of course I was failing early in the semester! I begged for some sympathy and extensions because I couldn't do all the work I collected for 2 weeks on time and you blew me off. Of course when I was back on track and you being an unhelpful ass didn't matter anymore I started improving. Thanks for the D letter grade and nothing else, you jerk.

I've been told that I should ideally go to a new college, so I can have a fresh start and recover from things properly.

The issue is that the nearest colleges are too far away to walk to (6 miles, at a minimum). And at those nearby colleges, certain people go there. If I go to either one, I'm not sure how long I'd last. I'm probably gonna have to get the bus there. That is another issue because money and my mum is not happy about that at all.

I'm even trying to sort out a bursary so that the train costs will actually be covered for. But seriously, mum is being the most unsupportive human being about this. She has had nothing but bad things to say about this, and she blames me and NOBODY else for the exclusion.

 Uni is starting up and I want to shave my head again but I'm torn on whether it's worth it because of first impressions. Especially since I like the old skinhead fashion and dress like one when I can't wear shorts.

Sounds so snotty but I go to Uni on Saturday and I really wanna go home an pack and just get there and meet new people but I'm stuck in Mallorca and it's probably the most boring holiday I've ever had and I just wanna go home, get sorted, and move on with my life.

I did most of my packing in 2 or 3 days, it's plenty time! It's much quicker if you have someone to help you but if not just be ruthless about what you take and don't take. Clothes I wasn't sure about I just left at home or put them to go to charity or something.  Just make sure you keep clothes/make up etc out on the day you move and then make a list of last minute/random stuff to remember like phone chargers. I kept a list beside my bed and added to it, you will forget stuff! Also I wouldn't buy food until you get there unless you have to, I had to go to my new store I'd be working at anyway but it's good to see how much kitchen space you're going to get as well.
Make use of the washing machine while you can lol

I think my favourite whiskey was pulled from shelves because it has a chemical found in anti-freeze.

Yeah, it was fireball. I was a big JD guy for years but I seem to have gone off it lately. Been buying the four cans of Banks's from the local as it's cheaper than the real ale.

Cointreau's an orange liqueur, so it might not be that. To be honest, sticking Red Bull in ANYTHING is counter-productive.

 Aye, we use Monster over here for Jägerbombs but combining an upper and a downer sounds like an awful thing to do to your insides. After my last incident I tend not to drink spirits unless they're straight since even the taste of Strongbow makes me cringe nowadays. It's awkward being the only one drinking Hooch aha.

Must have taken some extra time for the news to cross the pond. Me and my friends used to love that stuff this time last year until we learned that. We were like "well this already hurts my belly and THAT doesn't put my mind at ease at all". if you guys have it over there try jim bean maple! not cinnamon but the maple whiskey combo is nice

i'm notorious for mixing red bull with jager... i have really good water drinking habits though and unless you have a bad heart having just 1 isn't gonna kill you and if you'll have more than 1 energy drink in a sitting i fear for you tbh

Plus I'm only gonna get three days to wash and pack everything I own?????

I packed the night before! I understand it's stressful because stuff is starting up, but believe me, you don't need to bring an absurd amount of stuff to school :) your room will probably be tiny, i hardly had room for a minifridge this year.

 I think that the only local supplier didn't care since they might be the ones that sell "legal highs" to the younger kids - they must have had a telling off or something.

 Ooh! You can no longer play Destiny without the new DLC! You can play strikes but they're locked on the easy difficulty so you get literally nothing out of them and the PvP is now restricted to TTK users only. All the vanguard gear and crucible gear is TTK only.

 Literally every feature that was available to everyone is now only available to those who bought TTK. It doesn't even matter if you bought the previous DLCs because all of their items have been upgraded so that only those who bought TTK can use them.

 The worst part is that little kids are defending Bungie saying "hur hur well get a job hur hur" when they've had their parents buy them the dlc :laugh: sorry kiddo, a lot of us have bills to pay and/or can't find work.

You don't need to take EVERYTHING you own. You won't have room. My missus made that mistake and I don't recall ever seeing the floor in her room due to the sheer amount of clothes she has.

One of my mates had about 60% of his clothes, his laptop, Xbox and TV as well as kitchen stuff. That was it.

I'm so confused the hospital sent me a letter saying that I'm not going to get my eye op within the 12 week waiting time since my last app but I knew that anyway like ??? They said I could contact another hospital in Scotland to see about doing it, which I could do but I'd prefer to recover at home and not while at uni. When I was last there they provisionally agreed to either the 21st of Dec or the 4th of Jan because that's the only time I'd be able to do it. I suppose it's a good thing they're letting me know but still
Might phone them on Monday and just say what dates would be best again. Like I've been waiting almost a year now anyway so another 3/4 months isn't going to make that much of a difference. Stupid eye!  >:(

 I've got a compulsory lecture on Monday then a course introduction.

 College was great since I was really relaxed and although I would get good grades, I would spend a lot of time joking around in lessons. I spent most of my photography lessons Photoshopping Phil Mitchell and Ainsley Harriot and sticking the images on our display wall and windows.

 Anyway, university is a new setting and I can't really be bothered for more icebreakers after the amount of times I did them in college. I think I'm worried that these psychology students are going to be like the psychology kids in college since the college kids (here) had their heads up their asses and were the really weird "I'm a complex puzzle and psychology is my way of understanding myself" kind of kids. It also didn't help that I was in sociology and they thought they were better than us lol.

One of our flat mates suffers from anxiety and (we speculate) perhaps bipolar. We're all really worried about her because she suddenly became horrendously angry yesterday and screamed at us all despite having being quiet the whole time we've been here. She then left the building and didn't return until she came back along with a councillor last night at 7. Since then we haven't seen her but we assume she's in her room because we heard her on her phone about 1pm but we've heard nothing since then We don't know if she's eatin or if she's got food in there or what but we're all really worried but like trying to give her space. It's just kinda difficult when you don't know anyone and we all just wanna be there for her even though she said she hates us (with literally no provocation whatsoever)

 I've had a lot to drink and I even had a shot of absinthe that was like 89.9% volume and I think that topped the night off, to be honest since it made my throat dry and my vision blur.

 I think that I'm mentally on the brink of being out of it but I'm physically aware of the amount of alcohol in my system and I'm avoiding having a cup of tea as I don't want the milk to curdle in my belly since I'm at that stage where throwing up will probably cause me to black out.

 Even if I throw up and black out... at least we beat the English on their home turf. It was a good game though, I didn't think we would win either since the entire game was going against us until the very end and we didn't have Halfpenny. Can't pretend that England didn't play really well though. It was a good game.

I'm demisexual, and finding a boyfriend/girlfriend who isn't just looking to Grey their Warden is an absolute nightmare. Especially when I can't even have nice conversations with people without them interpreting my attention as a proposition or flirting. For example:

1) To the dude I had a nice conversation with about Dragon Age: stop sending me pictures of yourself on facebook! I, LIKE PHARAOH RAMASSES II, REMAIN UNMOVED.

2) Struck up a friendly conversation with a man in line for lunch at Subway about the heat and the stupidly long line. Three minutes into the conversation he asked if I was single and if he could call me up after 7 (Three... MINUTES....). Proceeded to tell the man that I am asexual (it's an easier explanation), and he outright says that HE CAN WAIT. WOW.

3) Friend that I've known for years only recently learned about my breakup last year. Usually cool friend then asks if we can hang out and drink at my place, and when I ask why, he explains his intentions outright.

I... am so upset. I miss hugs and kisses and being in a relationship with someone, but the chances of finding someone who isn't looking for that other thing is so tiny that I want to cry, and have cried on more than one occasion.

I'm in two minds as well if after band should I walk home or get two buses. I've been walking back home myself but it's dark and I've got lost each time I've went home lmao. Buses would take longer and I want to watch some of gbbo but I might not die so

 I've lost my provisional license and it could be literally anywhere. I'm actually slightly anxious about replacing it because I'm not sure where my old citizen's card is if they require it. Legitimately bricking it lol.

 FFS, it must have fallen out of my card holder whilst out and about but now I'm not going to be able to get a new one for ages. It's not even like I was dicking about with it either. I'm really annoyed by this.

 I also can't find my citizens card.

^ I lost my driving license at uni and was still able to get into bars based on the fact I was losing my hair at 20.

My mate used to use his tattoo as ID. He's got to be eighteen to have one, so therefore he was old enough to be let in. Don't know if this works with this challenge 25 thing that everyone's doing lately.

 That's actually pretty nifty to know since I've shaved my head because of a receding hairline. Most of the time I just nod at the bouncers and it works but if you hit Wind Street, the bouncers have to check your ID unless you're a gorgeous bomb-shell of a woman.

 It's because I've got a date coming up and if I can't get into a building with here, it'll completely kill the mood :laugh: it's bad enough that I ran out of money during the first hour of our first date since I owe her a good 5 drinks or so.

Only food/drink that I've had since 10pm on the 31st is apple juice.

I thought this pain in my side was from my period, but i went to the doctor on a whim for pain medication and they were like "WOW ur appendix is, like, totes about to burst- ur going to the OR"

So i had my appendix taken put 12 hours ago with a laparoscopy :)

Laparoscopy means instead of cutting me open like a fish they use 3 small holes instead, and to do that operation they had to pump CO2 into my belly, and only now is the gas moving and escaping. Lots of toots ensued.

 Like... damn. It's not like I'm flushing it down the drain by going to fresher's fayre every night since every transaction has been on transport or books and my bus pass apart from one night when I spent £25 on food and a few drinks with the guys which was partially to celebrate officially getting into uni.

Like idk even though I'm 4-5 weeks into the course I still feel like I'm not good enough to be there, despite obviously having a good portfolio and interview in March. Right now I can't picture myself as a 'designer'? I applied for s mentoring thing the uni offers where you get paired up with someone in the industry and you both meet and get advice from them and i think I've got a placement in January so I'm hoping that will make me decide if I want to go into design or not. My plan has been to go into teaching if it doesn't work out but I feel like I'd have wasted the past 3+ years studying design? I'd probably be a primary teacher but then it's the whole thing of would I even get into a course lmao

Unless I get the bus from uni to town, I can't catch a bus home until about 8 and there is no reason to be going in for an hour when the lecturer reads everything from the Power Point and makes jokes about paedophilia and the Catholic Church.

 Left the lecture at 5:45, waited for the bus until it was meant to come then as I left to walk, it drove past me. Got to the bus stop in town but then I had to walk into the centre of town just to get into the side entrance of the bus stop and by that time I had missed the bus.

 Like, ffs. Not everyone lives on campus or near the uni. I wouldn't be able to make 9am lectures and I can't get home from 5pm lectures.

I think if you go to uni now you're supposed to get one for a kind of meningitis that's more common among people living in places like uni halls and stuff? I got mine before I went away. Honestly I'm surprised I don't have an extreme phobia of needles after the amount of blood tests and stuff I got when I was little lmao. Have way too many tiny scars and weird marks from it all. 

So today I learned that after I graduate in 2017 my course will be no more. Due to cut backs and stuff and 'low numbers' the uni is going to fit aspects from my course into all of the other design ones. It's a little crap tbh like I probably wouldn't have went to uni at all if I hadn't got into this course. it's one of the few that takes on students with my type of hnd straight into 3rd year, instead of making you do 4 years, even though you're qualified (lol Dundee)!

Because there are groups of people that don't get their kids vaccinated. They're stupid enough to think that you can catch autism from it. Now (particularly in the US) there are perfectly preventable conditions coming back and killing/disabling children because they were not vaccinated.

Because I was so ill with my asthma in an urban area as a kid I had all my shots LONG before any of the kids at my school in rural East Anglia did. Some didn't get their TB jab until they were 14.

Then again...with some people you just know what they're like (by just seeing them talking to someone). I'm probs wrong but eh, being corrected means I'll learn...?

Ugh, had 4 bad days in a row before today, and today feels like a zillion times better even though it was still pretty rubbish. Got a form for the college counselor just in case my feelings continue to be horrible, so there's a safety net somewhere.

I submitted my assignment and the originality report flagged up 8% of my work. Like 6% was one of my references in my reference list (ikr) and the last 2% was a random sentence.
Typically, 1 - 10% is expected, especially if you're quoting publications and the like. I've asked many teachers/professors and they say they only really care when the report spits out numbers higher than around 30%.

Sussex is amazing though?

 That's great to know! There were people saying how they had 30% and stuff which must have meant a boat-load of references or they just qouted paragraphs from textbooks :0

 I might just stay home and write up my lecture notes. I also had to email an old lecturer from college to ask if I can put them down as a reference for this volunteering thing.

 Friday should be the day when you can meet your friends, get food, and start drinking. Friday is the day when I leave at 3, come home at 7, have food at 7:30, a bath at 8, and bed at 9. It completely kills the day.

 Went out with the guys tonight and it was pretty crap. After our first round we went off to a dive bar and everyone complained about prices and I bought a flat bottle of Bud.

 Then, on the way back to where we started, we bumped into a girl that I casually date and she was out of her skull so she came with us and she was in an awful state so in the end, everyone went home because they wanted to leave me and her together since they thought it was really funny that I have a "girlfriend".

 Once everyone left, I walked her to where the taxis come and she said goodbye and stuff so I turned the corner and sat on the bench so I would be able to see the taxi drive past (because I was actually worried) and after about a minute I walked around to make sure she hadn't died or anything and she was walking home. I even rang her to see if she would be safe or if she wanted company but she said she's fine.

 Like... damn, I'm actually worried about her since she was in heels too but she was adamant that she didn't need company and I would end up slapping someone if I was in her position so I stopped asking.

 Such worry.

Really want a job to help my Mum out with money trouble (because heck if ANYONE can afford to find two children in University - who get 0 financial help from faculties - a small family business and two mortgages I haven't met them) but nowhere will give me a job????

I applied for a very basic part-time retail job in H&M but my application was declined because I have insufficient experience. Well heck, how am I supposed to get experience if no one will give me a job because I have no experience???

Apparently two weeks work experience in the library just doesn't count for anything these days.

Library experience =/= retail experience and being a student means you won't be as flexible as other possible candidates (flexibility is a massive thing for  some companies, even for the lowest hours part time jobs). Getting hired with any job these days can be tough so it's just something you've got to keep grinding on with.

^ legit. my advice is do as many online applications as possible (so google will just input your info into the fields) and try to make a decent resume and attach it. and then write down all of the places you applied to and in a week or two call all of them, just ask for a manager, and when the manager picks up say who you are, and tell them to check out your application. call them on a weekly basis until they get you to stop bothering them by a. hiring you, or b. telling you to screw off. try to actually go into locations where you really want the job and ask an employee if you can speak to a manager and talk to the manager in person, that usually puts you ahead.

if you want a job STAT apply to restaurants, the turnover is usually pretty crazy and use the experience at the restaurants to try to get into whatever area you'd like better. your application can get lost in a pile so make sure you're on the forefront of their minds when they look through them

edit: bonus advice: if they tell you they're not accepting applications that's code for "call back in 2 weeks"

I applied for I don't know how many jobs over two years after leaving school and then ended up getting a job at my local Morrisons, still there almost a year later. I didn't have any ~retail ~ experience so I started volunteering in a charity shop, I was only there for a few months once a week but it was enough that I could bs about having some experience!
Some tips I learned in the time:
- try and get a small voluntary job in a charity shop, they're always looking for people! If you're friendly and keen then it won't matter about the skills, you can build them up.
- read the job description throughly. if you are allowed to send a cv and a cover letter always tie in your cover letter with what the job description is after, really sell yourself!
- You'll have plenty of stories about team work/time management/etc you can use from school or hobbies, you can tie most experiences in. When asked about team working 90% of the time I spoke about playing in my wind band.
- some companies love psychometric testing, I applied for Tesco and Asda quite a few times but never got past the first stage, even though I thought I was putting the customer first.
- but yeah like Alex said be really flexible about what hours you can do and try widen your search as much as you can. If you're in a city with a uni though it shouldn't be too much of a problem to find jobs.
- The hoops you have to jump through for a retail job especially are unreal, it can be pretty discouraging after putting in lots of effort and getting knocked back, you will find something eventually!

 Also a lecturer had a Tumblr rant about how "old white guys" shouldn't be included in psychology or something.

Oh my god. The fridge in our kitchen wasn't working so we emailed the accommodation team who've sent us a new fridge.... Which is only half the size of the last one.


What the heck are 8 people supposed to do with a fridge the size of a standard freezer??? I'm actually crying - my accommodation is THE biggest rip off of my entire life. £118 a week for a room with squeaky doors and cupboards, thin walls, a toilet that can barely flush anything, a radiator that won't turn off or down and makes creepy noises all the time so I can't sleep, precisely one square cm of cupboard space, nowhere to store all my pots and pans, even less space in the freezer and now a pathetic little fridge.

My student loan doesn't even cover the cost of living here so we are actually paying money right now for me to be here, on top of my already pretty spectacular debt. I am actually crying.

 The last assignment was an annotated bibliography and, as a photographer, I naturally annotated the journal articles I wanted to use as I would have annotated my photography. Plenty of "I"s in that assignment although we're told to be professional and academic about it? How awkward would it be to annotate journals and explain why I'm using them without using "I"?

 I also didn't mention qualitative/quantitative or the populations and variables for any of the journals either. I was just whizzed off that we keep receiving "tutorial" assignments to get us into the swing of things because these assignments don't matter and they're not psychology.

If you're writing about your own work or reflecting on it then 1st person is fine. If it's about other people's work then use the 3rd person to write in. I'm studying design so it might be completely different but for one of my classes I've got to do a lit review and a reflective piece. So the review would be in the 3rd person and the reflective in the 1st.
So if you used an article you could say "this article is useful because it has xyz and shows that abc" etc, or if it's not good say why. It can take a while to get used to but yeah always write in the 3rd person unless told otherwise! Make sure you know what style of referencing and citing you need to use as well and don't leave them until the very end! Makes it sooooo much easier to do it as you go along lol

idk about you but a lot of academic work i did required the third person passive voice. i dont recall much instances in my entire degree where i actually used the first person tbh

e.g. "i added sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) to the mixture while stirring" would get you laughed out a journal for making a basic undergraduate mistake, its all in passive "sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) was added to the solution with stirring" kind of voice. this might be what they're asking for but in that vague "we wont tell you everything" way that uni often does

a common way to test for the Academic Passive Voice which i found helped is to see if you can suffix "...by zombies" on the end or in there somewhere and it still makes sense

"i added sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) to the mixture while stirring by zombies" nope
"sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) was added to the solution by zombies" slightly constrained, but you get the idea



re: referencing make it easy for yourself and get a BiBTeX plugin for word and figure out some sorta Reference Management software like zotero (edit: actually zotero has its own Word plugin n all), and you can basically autogenerate references and a bibilography in the style needed. unless they're being right dicks they will commonly just say "cite it in natural sciences bibliography style" or w/e and you can commonly find a stylesheet for the bibtex plugin to do this.

its all a right PITA but this is how academia is!!! //showbiz hands//

We're using APA so I've been using the universities iFind to cite the books that I've been using and they've posted a guide on how to reference so I'm feeling confident about that since I've been using that awkward Wikipedia style referencing.

 You could maybe buy a new chain for your necklace and put the pendent on that? Unless it's like... gold or silver then it'll probably cost a nipple or two. Maybe a goldsmith will be able to sort it?

idk about you but a lot of academic work i did required the third person passive voice. i dont recall much instances in my entire degree where i actually used the first person tbh

e.g. "i added sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) to the mixture while stirring" would get you laughed out a journal for making a basic undergraduate mistake, its all in passive "sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) was added to the solution with stirring" kind of voice. this might be what they're asking for but in that vague "we wont tell you everything" way that uni often does

a common way to test for the Academic Passive Voice which i found helped is to see if you can suffix "...by zombies" on the end or in there somewhere and it still makes sense

"i added sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) to the mixture while stirring by zombies" nope
"sulphuric acid (0.025 dm3) was added to the solution by zombies" slightly constrained, but you get the idea

 It's the first time that I've ever used the first person in an assignment since we had to do all this stuff in sociology. It's just incredibly frustrating when the library staff who set the assignment clearly don't care enough to elaborate. It just felt really dry having to use "This article is..." at the start of every sentence. Especially when they want "flair".



 I didn't know what to quote and what not to quote so this post is massive. I've just completed a 1,200 word essay and it took like... four hours lol.

 Thanks though, to both of you.

'Experience' modules on my undergrad like mixing and mastering, music for film etc we were allowed to use first person, and the same for report writing on my teaching degree.

Everything else was third. Guess there's a time and place.

This also pushed me towards staying home for my only lecture today because I'll be missing everything and the slides go past so quickly. Also, if it's intelligence it'll just be a bunch of diagrams rather than things to copy down.

 So I've got Adele's 'Hello' on full blast in one eardrum in the hopes that the chorus unclogs my ear.

I couldn't sleep after reading an article. That's my first world problem: losing sleep out of pure unadultered rage.

Read an article about a woman who refused to provide medical care for her 3 kids with whooping cough for 150 days- all because she wanted to find a 'natural' remedy.

I want to wring this woman's neck?? If a few weeks of whooping cough can give someone permanent lung damage, how broken are those poor children's lungs? How brittle are their ribs now? Their throats must be raw from all of the throwing up and fits of coughing! And this woman ACTIVELY REFUSED them medical care??? For one HUNDRED and FIFTY days??? And in this article, with direct quotes from this woman's blog, all she could think about was "how nobody believed in her".

Unacceptable. She should not have custody over those kids. Refusing medical care is abuse! These kids were barely 10, too! They didn't have the knowledge or the power to refuse their mother's idiocy and seek help for themselves! Their opinion on the matter wasn't taken, and no consent was given- they were forced to suffer.

It makes me SO MAD. SO. MAD.

 Went into town to search for gym shirts and since Sports Direct had a 2 for £5 offer for ages I checked them first but nah. They've upped it to 2 for £7 or 3 for £10... so I bought an umbrella instead which was hella awkward since it wasn't raining and it was huge.

 Also, I keep meaning to read these books but then I find myself dicking around online and it's annoying because I bought a book called "Bees" (it looks hilarious) and it's from the narrative of a bee and they talk and at one point one bee snarls at another and it's ridiculous. Still haven't opened it!

'oh that meat looks too dry can you open a new one for me' *has to open whole new joint of meat for 4 slices*
'can I have 2 pounds of gammon?' *watches me slice it* 'oh sorry I meant in money haha silly me!'
I wish I was still in the bakery I hate the deli, it's awful. I still feel very out of my depth and because I was in my old store for a year the managers seem to think I should know stuff but I wasn't trained on this department?? at least the staff are nice though! honestly if it wasn't for the fact I love my old store I'd have quit by now

Do you have the medical insurance to investigate further? Fainting is NOT GOOD, and while we barely know each other I'm still worried :c

Tachycardia is a condition, not just a symptom. If it's been happening for years, it could be the potential culprit. It's been happening for 7-8 years, right? Tachycardia has a higher chance of developing in your teens, usually around a growth spurt. Your heart rate speeds up when your body and organs grow in order to adapt, but sometimes it doesn't slow down or adapts poorly to the new size due to overactive/underactive/irregular electrical impulses.

I can talk about this all day, but you won't get a proper confirmation unless you go to a doctor.

Not like the last one, though. You need a competent doctor and I don't have any relatives in the UK.

i have the nhs so i am all good on that front. doctor said i should try and up my salt and fluid intake (which oddly enough is a lot more difficult than it sounds lol) but like fo real if it was dehydration, i'd have had like a million kidney stones by now.

that and also my brother and mum also have tachycardiac symptoms sometimes so like is my family full of dehydrated people?? but i guess they gotta get the obvious out of the way anyway, but still... smh

also he said i should get off of codeine like pls man i have just been put on it for the pain because over the counter meds no longer work for me :(

i also saw the tachycardia happen on the heart monitor print out (cause i had one on for 24 hours) and it was a stable heartbeat then it just went freaking out upwards like a weird lump on the chart like how can one look at that and think "ah yes this person needs more water and salt"

Halls of Residence. If you value peace and quiet just please do not go in halls of residence. I have not had a proper night's sleep since before we went to Majorca and I just want to cry.

My entire kitchen are the loveliest people on earth and, like me, value peace & quiet sometimes - like yeah, of course we like a bit of fun but past eleven on a Sunday night just isn't the time.

So the other four kitchens decided tonight would be the night for hide and seek, and I stress that we would have locked the door to our flat if we hadn't been told not to in the first week because of fire safety issues. Anyway this late night hide and seek involved running through our kitchen and making (for no apparent reason) tons of noise.

At first we politely asked them not to - since none of us were playing and we are all up before 8 tomorrow, but they didn't stop coming through?? So we asked them again and it seems that now they're just making noise to spite us all and it's plain rude. Anyway I've still got hope that they'll all drop out and maybe then I can actually sleep?

Although that's a long shot because I have real trouble sleeping here and most nights I'm awake until 4/5 not even doing anything. I just can't sleep. I'm so tired I don't even care if they decide a good course of action is to egg my windows - at least they'll be able to catch that on CCTV and maybe they'll get thrown out of halls.


I didn't ask to be in halls I just didn't really have a choice and now I have to put up with all their crap -.-

Don't waste your maintenance loan on halls. No matter what. The people are just as bad as the buildings (which are pretty terrible)

don't know if it's my new flatmate or someone in another flat but waking people up by screaming (or singing???) at the back of 7 in the morning is not the best thing to do. it's nice to know you don't have classes today like some of us! I was only running on 5 hours sleep anyway at that point it's cool.
had 0 problems with noise until now besides from my flatmate I was with in our old block cleaning at 1.30am, or really loud Skype calls but thankfully she's pretty quiet even when she's been out.
I'm thinking it's the one who was in a flat herself I've not met her yet but nope she can get lost if she thinks I'm putting up with that crap!!!!

Halls of residence are absolutely awful. I would report all those people immediately to your warden (if you have one) or the people who look after your halls.

the way some people act when they get to uni, even now in November, is ridiculous. My halls at Bangor were party central and I can barely recall any day that my hall didn't have a party. I'm still never forgiving them for the one that started at 7pm and didn't finished til 11am. Or the time some stranger was talking to the warden outside my door and tried to open my door like... why dude

This is University, you shouldn't really expect anything different. Especially first year, where for a lot of degrees it doesn't even count towards the final score. Any opportunity for fun will be taken, even if they aren't the most considerate at times.

for the genuine insomnia problem Chloe go speak with the Uni Doctor, they'll advise and maybe prescribe something to help (although you don't want to become reliant on it, so it just depends how they'll treat it)

 Might pick up Fallout 4 whilst I'm in town and put it away for Christmas. New Vegas had such a good collector's edition but it was also released on my birthday. Doesn't this one come with a pipboy? Wasn't it impossible to remove them without killing the wearer in Fallout 3? Idk, I never played the ones before Fallout 3 so I don't know what happens with the lore.

 I remember dismembering the group of raiders in that supermarket near Megaton in Fallout 3 and because I put different limbs in different fridges around the store, it glitched out and broke the spawn. Pretty neat stuff tbh, one fridge had heads, another had legs, then arms, and then one had torsos in it. They never spawned back either lol.

In Vault 101 you get one on your 10th birthday (whether that's the same for all vaults that haven't gone to pot I'm not sure). In New Vegas you get it after leaving Doc Mitchell's house and from watching the E3 Demo for F4 he picks it up off a dead body in the vault before he heads back into Boston.

Yeah but I didn't wanna do that because I had 8ams every day and they had horrible speakers and I don't wanna hear their distortion when they turn their music up.

What I did do though was call them out on Yik Yak and ask for them to turn it down and when it didn't stop I called PS. Then during normal hours whenever I wasn't in my room I'd point my big real bassy speakers at their wall and blast it so they couldn't take naps or watch TV in peace. For the record I'm not SUPER passive aggressive, I would have knocked on their door and cussed them out in person but they were in another section of the building I couldn't get into.

Wearing in my new work shoes with slipper socks for tomorrow, because I have a driving lesson when I finish and can't see my boots being deemed as comfy or appropriate after wearing them for ohh... let's say 9 hours.

Also it is likely to rain and be dark. It is my second lesson. Gulp.

Speaking of driving my friend passed his test yesterday, despite not driving for like a year and he just chanced it to try because his theory was running out today sighs. He's so jammy!!!!
Hopefully going to start in the new year but switch to auto? i never struggled with manual but I think it'll give me one less thing to worry about hmm.

I had the dentist today to get a crown fitted. The dentist decided because it was a dead tooth that I didn't need a jag to numb it lolol it was so sore when he was drilling at it. Plus the moulds were awful i was trying not to gag. So yeah my tooth and mouth is still sore now :(

Learn in manual because then you'll be qualified to drive manual and auto, if you do your test in auto that's all you can drive, so it widens your options a little bit.

I dropped the rat treats into their food and had to spend several minutes fishing them out... This comes second to the devastating moment when I dropped a jar of strawberry jam by the tills and stared as it shattered. I'm not even the greatest fan of strawberry jam, having argued with the boyfriend about jam flavours in the aisle..

I'm doing mine in double lessons, and I'm hoping to have a good chunk done by 20 hours, if not completely done by 30. 15 lessons doesn't sound like an adequate amount of time, but we shall see. I have enough money for 15-20 hours, but hopefully when I get paid I'll be able to afford the rest. Gotta get the ball rolling with learning the theory too, but I'm in a new job too, so I've got a lot to learn with that

 Ooh, I'm hoping to do my test after my twentieth lesson at the latest then, I enjoyed my first lesson because it felt a little like Need for Speed except I wasn't driving a Bugatti Veyron into oncoming traffic at over 150mph. Might do my CBT before Christmas and get the bike up and running so I can get a delivery job to supplement the driving lessons.

I've been pushed to my limit on stress and work. I hate Wuthering Heights with a passion and i've been told that I can sparknote it, and even with that technology at hand, I still read the required parts after sparknoting it (I hate being at least partially honest). I still have to finish another project for tomorrow and there's a huge group project for English to do. On top of it all, there's a huge quiz in math tomorrow that I don't feel ready for. I feel like my body is shutting down and this weekend I will flat out crash whether I like it or not.

Allow me to make some acknowledgements: I would like to thank Wuthering Heights, big group projects, teachers who assign a lot of work at the same time, and finally school in general. I hate you all.  :)

Edit: French Project done, but I still hate everything I stated above.

As someone who's had glasses since for as long as they can remember usually the first few weeks after getting a new pair your eyes will take a bit to adjust to them, even if your prescription hasn't changed. Everything seems a lot clearer and sharper but then goes back to normal.

It has my university work on it and it's breaking and when it comes down to things, it has very little space on it and I've been saving my excel spreadsheets on it until I can buy a new one and not have to worry.

 I don't understand how "no" means anything other than "no". When I said "it's full, there's no space left" I didn't mean "emotionally blackmail me into handing out my USB".

 I just helped another student by filling out their questionnaire which was presented as a questionnaire on internet use.

 Nope! It was an autism test! Ffs we had a lecture today on how it's unethical to lie to the participant and how you have to make a decision of whether the results are worth lying to your participants about and I can't imagine what astonishing benefits will be discovered from this questionnaire tbh so, in my eyes, it's rather unethical to trick people into a test and throw in a "YOU'RE POTENTIALLY AUTISTIC!" in at the end.

 We receive conditioning in college to make sure our English is at its finest and then in university you're met with typos, spelling mistakes, and sentences that don't make sense.

When I had my last appointment I think a date in December or January was provisionally agreed but I've not heard anything since! I don't know how quickly after you get word is the time between getting an operation?? The only other date I can do is February as I've got a week off work then so I'd be able to go home.

 Decided to cut across the beach to get to university quicker today since I was busting for a wee.

 Sand is horrible. A lot of the sand looks solid and flat but the moment you step on it, you realise that it's soft sand with a thin layer of hard sand on top so that was horrendous to walk on and I also stepped on something slimy whilst thinking it was a rock with a plastic bag stuck to it so I'm just glad I was wearing my running shoes since I think it was a jellyfish and I would have potentially torn it open with my other shoes.

 On the plus side, I got to uni 10 minutes quicker and managed to get my wee. The only other toilets at the bus stop are the ones you have to pay for or the ones that nobody knows about where you'll be stuck using a urinal 100% of the time and you get creeps who look at your apparatus.

 Why can't there just be nice toilets in the city? We're spoiled for choice here but the moment you get into the city it's like... why aren't there any toilets anywhere?

 Also had 3 hours sleep and combined with a 20/30 minute power-walk across the sand and 30 minutes with HiiT in the gym, I spent those three hours and had to come home because I was falling asleep in first lecture.

 I have spent the last 6 or 7 hours typing up a lab report for a study that I didn't even carry out. During the "methods" stage I had to say that the participants had to answer a questionnaire - which we did - but the questionnaire must have been typed up by someone who's mother-tongue isn't English because all the statements - that we had to apply to ourselves - came off as either really edgy or vague and this would have been covered if someone else proofread the questionnaire.

 I also decided to try and find a correlation in the data so I'm like "yeah let's use Spearman's rho" then after deleting my previous stuff since this must have been my third or fourth choice, I calculate everything and then I can't find a critical value since N was a big number and the highest critical value chart I could find only went up to 100.

 So then I'm sat there trying to finish up my discussion and I'm stuck constantly saying "THERE'S A VERY STRONG CORRELATION" but, obviously, because I couldn't get the statistical value I couldn't confirm.

 I ALSO FORGOT TO INCLUDE MY HYPOTHESIS BUT I'VE SENT IT OFF NOW SO OH WELL.

 I'm just really lucky that this doesn't count towards any main marks. Hopefully the feedback will point me in the right direction.

 Also, I've got some form of tonsillitis coming on so I'm taking penicillin and my knee is hurting because I've spent the last 6 hours in the coldest room in our house.

I'm freezing, but warm to the touch. So I wrap up in bed to get warm but then get boiling hot and sweaty and itchy and smelly. So I have a shower to rinse it all off.

Ten minutes later, I'm back to sweaty and smelly.

I getting a little Fed up with Lord Raven. I have posted a topic about any experiences you've had in the world of gaming. I talk about how much of a show-off I am in the final boss of Wario Land 2, and then he's accusing me of only playing Wario Land. And I'm sure this is not the 1st time Lord Raven has said something in one of my topics that I don't particularly like.

Locked the topic he wasn't nice to me in. I'm slightly losing the will to talk to him nicely! I nearly posted a post of me having a proper go at him, but then I thought "this ain't gonna get me anywhere, except in trouble" so I did the sensible thing and locked it.

 That feeling when you watch a game review because you genuinely want to buy it and the reviewer is as salty as the Dead Sea because they're either not good at it or because they're used to using mods to exploit the game and generally can't get into unlocking things with their own efforts.

 Pretty much why I stick to theRadBrad nowadays since he plays console and doesn't have the saltiness of PC reviewers.

So? If I was like this every time someone wasn't nice to me, I would've been banned by now. Calling out another user like that is just asking for a fight, and if it happens, you'd be the one instigating it. If you have a problem with him, do as Petzbreeder said and take it to PM's. Otherwise, you locked the topic. Move on.

If you're not in the starting XI or on the bench, most football teams expect you to turn up to support the team. You've actually done something right by turning up despite not being needed.

Speaking of periods (and that's not something you hear all the time), I've just had to watch my other half go through the motions. It's a wonder I'm still alive.

 The hot water has been faulty for the last year now so it's hit-or-miss whether I can have a hot bath. Probably had my first hot bath in about a month the other day but the water isn't working tonight. I've offered to pay to have it fixed but everyone brushes it aside because it'll require effort.

 I had to let the water out and calm down because it's seriously frustrating when you leave the hot tap on to come back to a bath that's freezing.

Also like in September just before I went to uni I payed my mum's sky bill. I've done it once as a one off a few times.

I know that, however, it just kind of sucks to just stand around and do nothing the whole time. Maybe i'm just too used to starting on JV or something.

Took my exam today and with that grade, i'm barely holding onto an A, but there's still 1 more grade to be put in before everything's in and I don't have a great feeling about it.

Then there's my friend who brags about being a great editor for his media productions class. So I get him to edit our little newscast project (someone in my group was his gf), and he screws it up. There was no time to fix it because the first time we were able to see it was when we were presenting. Thankfully I had to go to my exam so I bailed after the intro.

oh wow ive been here a lot lmao both with the crap veins and the ass stabbings
every month i get an injection into my "hip" as they call it (its straight up my buttcheek) and the injection takes a while to prep so ill just be standing there in this doctors office with my ass hanging out for like 5 minutes making idle banter with a nurse... it happens so often but i still feel so ashamed to just BE THERE with SKIN EXPOSED

but also literally every time i go to get blood taken (like twice a month uuugh) they hit a bum vein and spend like 40 minutes stabbing around my arm to Locate The Blood and ill come out after with 7 miles of bruising on both arms... awful. abolish needles.

We have a show kind of like Cops over here where they go about the beat with traffic police in South Lincolnshire (Police Interceptors on Channel 5). They arrested some chav in Boston before cutting to some gobby moron in Spalding and I looked up and started laughing. When you see someone you know getting locked up on TV it's just comedy gold.

I don't even know what that is!

the electoral roll is like shaymin said a List of people eligbile to vote. you shoulda got a letter thru your door about Register To Vote or whatever? and they're all "arrghhh you gotta register to vote its important"

i mean voting is also important yes cos political apathy is the nation killer but its also needed for a credit rating and if you ever want to own a house one day. (mortgages are like credit cards: hard mode)

 its important to be on there if you want to build a credit rating cos they'll look to that to see if you Verifiably Exist as a person if you're not on the electoral roll the credit agencies will most likely go 'huh maybe they're trying to con us with a fake name' and possibly reject you.

Quote
It dings? what, like a bell or something? Sorry if I sound ignorant, I don't know what that means.

nah i mean "dings" as in "negatively hits". kind of like "denting". i talk in dumb flowery language cos im literally r****ded and can't use Normal Words well

idk how credit ratings go for DSS (i dunno if thats the right acronym) but basically your credit rating is your Good (or Bad) Standing with the lending agencies, like how well (or not) you repay your debts and whether its on time, etc. basically its your "if you borrow this money, how likely are you gonna be to pay it back and are we gonna be able to make a deece profit off you through the Interest?" which is the only thing the credit card companies care about.

(which is why having a credit card but never spending on it also negatively impacts your credit rating cos they're like "well we're not gonna make cash off you so why do we care?")

its complicated and i dont know the Details of it exactly but theres stuff that Improves your rating and Unimproves it, and applying for credit cards and being Rejected for them (it can happen even if you'd be Accepted normally) unimproves it. every time you apply for your credit card the company will consult the credit record (your 'how likely/how much profit?' thing) and them actually checking it leaves a record hich means if you're rejected for it that'll be seen on your rating and is a Warning to other places to perhaps err on the side of also rejecting them.


you will usually be accepted more easier for high APR cards (see below for APR explanation) or High Interest cards easily because most people are like "cool! a credit card!" and dont notice they'll have to pay horrific interest. i.e. they downplay "how likely are they able to pay it back" for turning up the "how much profit can we make" end of things.

conversely low interest credit cards are harder to get and you usually need a better "i took loans out and paid them back" record on your credit record. sites can do you a "soft check" where they test your eligibility for cards in a way that doesn't impact your credit rating, but thats for when you do stuff like credit card "tarting" as they call it (hopping between 0% APR introductory offers to keep your credit card debt from ever having interest, useful for if you want to keep your credit card bill from growing further) and you need to know who will and who wont.

its why if you apply for one and you're rejected you should give it a bit before applying for another, its like dealing with a dodgy ex and being too quick on the updraw makes you look desperate and lame to them.


given you're on DSS that might put you in that awkward category with Students lendingwise, i.e. not really a Strong Money Earning lot and not really doing stuff like working and making cash money, which means they may not be keen to give you credit cards

I'm in the UK. I don't know what APR is, I feel like I'm totally clueless about everything.

not at all, the banks make their money out of keeping people clueless about the process, wouldn't you know it.

APR is Annual Percentage Rate or really a kind of Financial-ese way of sayin "monthly interest".

basically with an APR of a card you got the amount you've spent on the card, and you take the percentage the APR is, divide that by twelve (to take it from Annual to Monthly) and each month that interest will be lumped onto your bill and you'll have to pay it. im gonna use colours here to keep track cos of brokebrain reasons

i.e. if you're £500 in debt on your card and your APR is 19% then

19% of £500 = £95

and then they will tack on £95 per year / 12 = £7.92. per month interest

you have to pay a "minimum amount" at least every month, which is based on the total amount you owe + the monthly interest.

so if you dont spend anything by the time your bill rolls around you will owe £500 + £7.92 = £507.92. and will need to pay whatever the minimum payment for an amount of £507.92 is. (you can usually find this by lookin at the small print of your credit card agreement)


im no expert in economics (altho id like to learn the basics one day) but basically Interest and APR is how the lending agencies make money, bankers would never do this out the goodness of their own hearts lmao

theres a lot more to read on my personal fave resource for Boring Money Information stuff, moneysavingexpert (http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/) if you're a big dumb hell idiot nerd like i am and do ur budget in monthly spreadsheets and like to be Informed on boring adult life details and thriftiness. its a site for people who got themselves into stupid amounts of debt and often the forums are a bunch of people trying to save where they can so they can claw themselves out of debt hell but yeh . another good place to ask re: legalese to money stuff is ur local Citizens Advice Bureau




basically if you're trying to get stuff that can only be gotten with credit cards like certain places on the internet do then your best bet is the Prepaid Credit Card option for now.

well thats my Effortpost about boring financial details, thanks for reading.

Phone contracts are a good way of building a credit rating as well. Even if you just get one that is like £10 a month or something. I didn't have a credit rating until I got my HTC on contract with EE a few years back, did have some blips initially but I paid it on time for the most part lol. Upgraded and now paying slightly more for an iPhone. Obv don't take out a contract if you don't actually need one because you do put in more than you get out. I've still not got a credit card yet though, couldn't trust myself with one tbh. I've made a vow to never end up like people in my close family who are just swimming in debt to various angry companies. (I'm not saying to avoid credit cards because of this, this is just me personally!)

I'm at the tense stage where I've woken up after drinking and not knowing how I'm going to be when I get up out of bed. I think I'm okay though, it's not like the hangovers I've had where it takes like half an hour to crawl from my room to the bathroom, so that's a plus!

Nobody treats me nice once I admit I'm schizo + bpd... They don't think I'm safe to be around. I'm immediately an axe murderer and a psycho ex waiting to happen. My symptoms are just me abusing people so I'm not worth a damn. Nobody's ever stopped talking to me out of fear when I told them I've got depression/anxiety too.
Don't get me wrong I still get treated like dirt for my anxiety/depression symptoms, but being called a lazy coward is better than being avoided completely or having cops called on you because of things you can't help lol

i think it all depends on how your symptoms display as well tbf like i'm supposedly just comorbid depression/anxiety with what we think is asd in the mix as well (there's a little bit of debate on whether i'm possibly mixed-state bipolar but idk my treatment's working pretty well now so as long as that continues to work i'm not fussed) but because my symptoms don't necessarily display as being obviously low or obviously anxious people are very ??? and then i'll have a meltdown where i'll basically lose all rationality and start screaming and crying etc and that's treated very differently to the general like... passiveness (not quite the word im looking for but what can u do) of 'typical' depression/anxiety symptoms

//runs in out of breath, takes blue inhaler// did i hear people talking about mental health and mixed bipolar states?

you heard it here second but the bleeding edge of Science Literature seems to be collating around the idea suggest there is an emerging "bipolar spectrum" affair (possibly with a third axis of Anxiety/Neurosis/Psychosis) (in BP-I aka the most severe u present with psychosis in ur manic states which dont help much in diagnostics not labelling u schizo and a lot of bp-II and bp-III people present with neuroses and anxiety)

much like the same way that recent autism classification returned to a Spectrum of sorts cos all the various microdeviations were just getting ridic. (think all the -core classifications of metal music, you know)


(the short version of how ASD came to be: so in DSM-V basically ASD absorbed both PDD-NOS and Aspergers and turned it into a Severity Scale thing cos a lot of people weren't really understanding when it was autism and when it was aspergers and when it was PDD-NOS and a lot of misclassification was going on and Appropriate Care was just ending up a bit of a mess cos oh did they start to talk as a toddler at this one age (aspergers) or this other age (autism), both within about a few months of each other and kind of uselessly specific. the ASD end of things is still having trouble being rolled out at a practise level cos of how slow this stuff is and dont even get me started on Latent Adult Autism support and the implications of the UK "parents raise the alarm" vs the US "everyone gets checked" allowin uk parents who want A Normal Kid to hide it esp since Early Intervention is crucial


 but yeh expect the same thing to happen to Phasic Depression/Hyperactivity type stuff in the years to come. mental health is a weird thing. schzioid stuff is even more complicated, ur gently trying to nudge the dopamine neurotransmitter environment between "too much" (psychosis) and "too little" (movement disorders) and like most neurology its Complicated. [A]sk me about going minorly psychotic on prozac due to its dopaminergic effects (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11919662)
 

i mean the science is still developing on it, anyone who's even been within a yard of Academia knows how this stuff goes. slowly. but there are literal environmental/genetic/biological factors at work behind depression/mood swings etc. (SERT allele length, cortisol response, BDNF stuff, CYP2D6 metabolism speed, biological circadian rhythms) so next time anyone tells u its in ur head and its all fakey cake stuff just fart at them.

for instance it is imperative to find proper anti-anxiety or reduce Stress cos chronic high levels of cortisol (stress hormone, anxiety people will know what this is along with epinephrine) shuts off a chemical ur body produces (BDNF) that allows for neuron connection/maintenance. some meds help (there is a literal gene which appears to inadvertantly code for lithium response) but annoyingly one thing that actually starts the BDNF back up again is...........exercise! one bipolar-I woman had literal no luck with any meds and the only thing that is keeping her in remission is gettin those glutes moving regularly, wouldn't u know it.
 

tl;dr: if u feel like u have way too rapid cycling/mixed states to be even bipolar-II (bp-II literal diagnostic criteria = hypomania of longer than 4 days solid) then ur not going mad, science just aint caught up yet and the pharma companies aren't keen to fund it cos stabilser/AED Meds aren't always the best thing for it.

anyway thanks for letting me carepost about mental health/learnin disabilites i hope people liked it. if u didn't then im also sorry. thanks bye

!! Happy birthday Sylar! (:

I watched that with my girlfriend, and one of us was scared and had to be hugged by the other one for comfort because of all the scary things. :(

(It was me)

My next first world problem is my lack of motivation to do my homework...

If you can stand the bitterness, dark chocolate is an alternative, and in correctly sized portions has a decent number of health benefits.

its today. look the forum even gives me cake and everything. im finally 8 years old.

Happy birthday to you then. thanks for telling me, I don't know you people well enough to remember this stuff

Ohio weather still not making up its mind. As soon as we think it'll finally become the season it should be and snow, the temps go back to 60s.

So at work my hr manager told me today that my manager and the store manager have been talking about something that will make 'my life easier' when I go back to my new store but it's not getting confirmed until next week. I asked my boss and he just laughed and said its something nice but I honestly can't think of anything??? I hope it's not more hours but I'm thinking it might be that I'm going back to the bakery there. I'd be so happy if it was but I'm not getting my hopes up. I want to know :(

ive dropped my ipod on the screen, in odd places, down stairs, into water, into a /bath/ of water, and it still works fine. (ipod touch, that is, from a few years ago). the only damage it ever got were scratches on the back that we can easily ignore. only in the last three months have i started to get some dead pixels, a hairline crack (from inside the screen) and the occasional glitch on the login screen which might just be my clumsy fingers. oh, and the battery's kind of bad now but thats because its old.

also ive just hit myself in the face with the bench while falling and now my nose is bleeding. too too clumsy.

This reminds me of the first time I ever used a razor. Obviously, I was in the shower and I wasn't really sure how you were meant to clean the hairs off it so I just gently wiped it on my thumb every time I needed to. Anyway, fast forward to me getting out of the shower and my thumb turning into a bloody mess in the space of about three seconds. It did not stop bleeding for so long.

All my flatmates are back in Cheltenham already and as much as I wanna stay at home, I feel really left out over here.

 DESTINY!?

 Man, that game was the balls until Bungie was like "nah fam, we're locking all this content that you've paid for unless you pay us another £45". The Phogoth raid was always a pain since you would have hunters trying to stab him in the shin but then they would get rekt and rage quit.


 One of my mates keeps ditching me to hang out with another mate who went behind his back and got with his ex after a few days of being apart. There's also a rapist as part of this group (he diddled a drunk girl who was sleeping next to him whilst sober), another technical rapist (slept with a 14 year old) and a bunch of girls who only use him to pad their egos. Not to mention the fact that the last guy used to stalk us through town when we used to hang out with his ex and he also let his friend throw a cinder block through the windscreen of a car belonging to one of the girls who was with us at the time.

 

 I just don't get it tbh. Maybe it's cognitive dissonance brought on by his insecurities since he can't "one-up" us with education since he's not in university. It's one of the only things I can think of atm since he acted weird when his "thick" friend got in and he started to resent her.

Guy I had to face in league today fooled me completely. He usually runs a 2 electric type set and a scrafty, so I didn't use Xatu and I made meloetta an assault vest attacker. That was my error. Xatu would've countered his hazards, glare, and roar and heal bell would've kept the team healthy (which is what I usually run on meloetta). The guy planned this and beat me 4-0. Doesn't help that rotom wash got ohko'd by a crit specs t-bolt from raikou. >.>

BBT is the absolute worst. It's literally making a joke of an autistic guy, while they make the most mainstream pop culture and video game references, and then there's an over-the-top laughtrack to remind you "hey, that was supposed to be a joke!". Then everyone who enjoys it calls it nerd humor. IMO it's ok to joke about things that are controversial or just plain messed up, but when I watch that show I can't think of it in any other way but making fun of the mentally challenged while there's one token female character that hangs with them so they can have someone "normal" thrown in there to set up more situations where we can laugh at the nerdy characters.

 I just had my first 2:2 grade and now I feel dirtier. There wasn't anything wrong with the essay so I'm guessing it's just a lack of further reading and diversity. Would have loved some feedback other than "good" since now I don't know where I went wrong.
 
 Two marks away from a 2:1 - 58/100. Actually kinda gutted since that's like... a D grade. Completely blew my confidence for these exams out of the water.

 It's not even hard, like.

 I've got five days until my statistics exam but there isn't negative marking so I'm okay.
 Eight days until my Individual and Abnormal exam which is what I just got a D in so I'm a little concerned.
 Eleven days until my Cognition.

 Gutted fam, I started revising this week since we haven't done that much work but this is gutting.

thats the issue man. ppl see themselves in sheldon and considering hes the butt of every joke because hes autistic it makes people feel embarrassed to relate to him and embarrassed for being autistic. i see myself in him too especially when hes at his most "weird" and "annoying" and all of his friends' reactions to him remind me of how almost every friend ive had in life has reacted to me and its unpleasant knowing thats a funny joke to people and not like... something to be irritated or upset for sheldons sake by.

it might be a good show if it wasnt "make fun of an autistic guy for being autistic" but as it stands thats what it is and its wasted potential really.

I get pissed off by TBBT because I'm an aspiring theoretical physicist and I really hate it when people use Sheldon or something as a preconception for how they view me when I tell them what I do.

After reading a bit of that paragraph, if that's what you're describing, then I act like that too and get shut down for it.  I hate it when that happens to me and I imagine it would make me cringe harder when he's being weird or annoying or whatever.  But then again I haven't been formally diagnosed and I doubt I'll get anything out of a diagnosis.

 Ordered some stuff on Amazon to relax after all this revision. It was meant to come today but yesterday my training shoes were delivered to the wrong house. The inept delivery man thought it would be better to deliver it to the wrong house than deliver it after the quoted time.

 After walking to the house that my shoes were delivered to, they said they had opened it as they were expecting a delivery even though their name or postcode wasn't on the package.

 There's 30 minutes left until the delivery is officially not coming today and I crack on with close to three hours of revision. I'll probably cut into research methods and finish it off tomorrow.

 Good feelings about 17:43.

using the words "fight on" didn't mean that I meant that you get over it by praying and believing that it will just go away eventually, it was more so in terms of his body not being able to literally fight on.

Everything is open to interpretation though I guess.

yeah im not sure i believe you. this is really bad backpedalling and the pseudointellectual milquetoast fencesitting comment on the end to try and appear pragmatic doesn't help either. just stop while you're ahead behind

^However, some cancer patients do flat out just give up the will to live and never even begin to fight.

close, but "fight" in this context signifies that anyone apart from the graces of medical science "fights" against it as if there is "winners" and "losers". cancer either kills you or it goes into remission and you quietly fear it coming back for the rest of your life, such is the nature of the thing.



the point is its a bit of a Social Faux Pas to make with oncology people to go on about it being a "fight" and its like saying "i'll pray for you", its kind of a cringey rookie mistake

Norm MacDonald did a good bit on this, where you don't really "lose" the fight with cancer so much as "it's a draw."  And furthermore, you don't wanna go out a loser that lost a fight with cancer.

Also, I don't see how people can really survive cancer on sheer force of will.  It's really odd that this whole idea became a colloquialism.

I understood what Kerou was saying and didn't read into it as a 'You can win if you just believe' thing. I don't think anyone (apart from maybe religious nuts) uses the phrase to actually mean fighting against cancerous cells, but rather the fight to regain some semblance of a normal, functional life after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

It's like when something terrible happens in your life and you eventually have to say "Oh well, onwards and upwards". Not because there's any indication or belief that things are actually going to get better, but because you need some kind of psychological momentum to get control over whatever it is that has brought you down in the first place or else you'll stagnate and spiral downwards further.

last night i had to drive home in a snow storm in my rear wheel drive car. while i was slipping and sliding everywhere i witnessed 2 accidents happen and saw about 5 more people that had already hit eachother on my 40 minute drive.

not only that but i was hanging with my friend earlier and i had left my phone in his car and i tried to follow him home and get his attention and i finally found him stuck on a hill so i flash my high beams and i'm waving out the window and yelling and he backs up and i think he must have noticed my phone is in his car right? no he just gives his car a running start and makes it up the hill. by the time I can force my volvo up the hill i've lost him. then i got lost in a part of new hampshire i do not know, and NH is like a gigantic forest with tiny roads. and now i need to drive 30 minutes back that way to get my phone

And furthermore, you don't wanna go out a loser that lost a fight with cancer.

this is what im getting at p much exactly. fight is such an awkward and Loaded way of putting it and if you point this out to people they go "uh....no no i wasn't saying THAT i was saying, like, uh, fight as in...." and its still missing the point entirely and the gravity of the entire situation.

Quote
Also, I don't see how people can really survive cancer on sheer force of will.  It's really odd that this whole idea became a colloquialism.

its mostly due to undiagnosed or willfully ignored mental illness, or some other delusional beliefs. "if i think hard enough about a thing or dont think about it at all, things will magically fix themselves. yes, this is a responsible way to live and i will do this and continue to do this and ignore the signs that this isn't working at all". its a really terrible and maladaptive coping mechanism

example, a dude tried to kill himself twice on our couch by going into hyperglycemia by just Not Thinking About It (plot twist: he's doing a lot better both physically and mentally rn tho)


my godmother's afraid of dying. she's gonna keep fighting and fighting.

it's still terminal.

my condolences, sucks to hear about that. hope you and her are on some sorta nice n good terms at least and she's got a good support network going

Not really, it's more so just having to justify the nature of my statement because of a misconception / presumption

sigh, rolls eyes,

 Sorry to hear, Poison2007. Cancer is an awful thing to pass away from.


 The next exam is tomorrow (Friday) and my alarm clock's date is incorrect so I almost had a seizure when I saw that my exam was allegedly this morning as I haven't finished revising.

 It feels a little like a blessing and an eye-opener knowing that I have another day to revise.

My mum did a little research on my symptoms and she has discovered that there is such a thing as "Epileptic Vertigo". From one kind of epilepsy to another, I feel like I'm always going to have something wrong with me!

Flat hunting is proving annoying so far, going to share with a guy in my class and possibly one of his friends but he's not 100% sure yet. He's really picky like it has to be in walking distance of uni, so he doesn't have to get a bus, so it limits us to the more expensive areas lol. Obviously I don't want to live in a dump but I'm from a scheme so I can handle some crappiness I guess lmao.
Only criteria I have that it needs to be on a bus route for work but other than that as long as it's furnished etc I'm not too bothered! I'm hoping no more than £500 a month for rent, otherwise I'll be living beyond my means next year :(

 Why can't you just do a "girly" voice and edit the pitch using Audacity or whatever sound software is free instead of hassling Poison when they've already stated that they're busy and potentially in a rough place atm?

 This is coming from a male who has had to do a voice over for a female in order to pass a class in media because one of our group members decided "o i dun wan to do voices tho i volunteered to join ur groop and voice the wuman".

 You can download Audacity for free and presuming that you're younger, your voice will be a little higher so it'll be easier to raise the pitch and stuff.

 It's really easy fam, and it might save you a bunch of time in the future.
Title: Re: first world problems

on that note weightlifting is rly good and everyone should do it even if i did my knee in this time cos i didn't wear my dumb knee braces, did my deadlifts for my crap posture and then put it out after another attempt at a pushup. one of these days i will be able to cross "do a genuine push up" off my bucket list!!!!

^ Deadlifts are vital brah, how many scoops are you using?

i googled "deadlift scoops" but still dont know what you're on about. is this hip bro terminology for something or other????? if its about the scoops of Protein then im actually Poor People-ing it and using asda's own brand slimfast as my Replenishment Protein shake //sad trumpet music//

until i get jobbed up (few months time w/ luck) i aint got the cash to get all creatine/protein'd up just yet, hence the bootleg approach. its workin for me for the most part cos i aint plateau'd yet, im having to take it dead slow cos of my dumb slippery joints and how it takes long n slow to get the ligaments/tendons up to speed with the muscles.


also deadlifts 4 lyfe, its one of my few workout mainstays until i get a roman bench and can do hyperextensions. p much Insurance against the "i didn't work out ever and now i have the spinal erectors of a literal baby" back pains later in life and god it feels great to be able to sit in this crap dumpster-dived office chair w ease. that and bent over rows. and squats. all wonderful things that make u feel POWERFUL


everyone please lift a weight.

I work out using a kettle weight and don't use protein shakes or anything like that.

i end up crippled by metabolic stress for a good couple days unless i get a deece protein peak meal/shake in p much immediately after training so im not entirely sure why ur telling us this. not needing anything after a workout and being OK after usually means you didn't work out hard enough. several small reps of an easy weight to "tone up" is basically pointless. it needs to be a case of "losing form after 5-6 reps" weight, depending on whether you're doing Starting Strength (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/starting-strength-review-of-mark-rippetoes-barbell-bible.html) or Brain Over Brawn (http://brainoverbrawn.com/) or whatever.

after a Good Workout or any kind of HIIT ur meant to have a Peak Meal (hi carbs, hi sugar) straight after otherwise the DOMS gets you bad and u end up going into starvation mode (the aforementioned metabolic stress) cos ur body just blew a big load of ATP/glucose on your workout and you're not replacing it quick enough. also you need the protein so ur body repairs the microtears in the muscles from the workout adequately. its p much the only time u can Legally have a big fat cheeseburger w/ milkshake for your diet cos it ticks all the boxes (carbs, protein, sugary milk, etc. etc.) and its one of the biggest perks of Lifting imo.

tl;dr: if you get grouchy + pain + bad weird Withdrawals feeling mysteriously for a couple days after a workout then ur not replenishing post-workout well enough. if you're fine post-workout then you need to workout harder.



well thats my weightlifting info carepost about adequate post-workout replenishment hope everyone liked it, thx 4 readin

"Installing update 1 of 206"

What the hell?

This isn't even the half of it. I left it to install the updates overnight and I got stuck with this (http://oi66.tinypic.com/34eysqp.jpg) message for a couple of minutes after trying to start up my virtual machine today.

I'm currently trying to install the updates manually. Considering there are 206 updates to install, I know this is going to take a while.

 If you need a good high protein meal whilst trying to lose weight you could mix half a pot of cottage cheese with half a tin of tuna and put some greens in there. Fairly certain you'll be exceeding the daily dose of Vitamin C but it's like... very low calories and an okay amount of protein. It's probably closer to 300 calories tbh so double up and get that 1800kcal with that saucy deficit going.

 If you're saving up for protein I would recommend MyProtein as it's pretty cheap and I could even see if they've emailed me a discount code if you're in a tight spot since I haven't been lifting since... like... September and I had a tub for Christmas so I'm well-stocked.

 Generally avoid those BooTeatox things since I'm pretty sure they just give you savage poos and they act a little like laxatives.

ah jeez thatd be perfect except cottage cheese is literally one of the rare foodstuffs (along w liver and also trifle sponges) that i literally cannot even tolerate the idea of, sadly. its just some weird bizarre alien crud hellstuff to me and ive tried to Grow Up and try it again in adult life but i still can't do it. people even eat it with fruit what the hell is goin on with that? i mean  there's also drinking skimmed milk for protein but ughhhhhhh i can't stand the stuff. its just water with white paint mixed in. blue top whole milk only or bust.

luckily all i care about are Muscle Gainz and i dont care dietwise if i end up with a big fat gut as long as i can punch people hard in the nads with my massive muscles. but thank u for ur cottage cheese dieting one weird tip, i will keep it in mind for others who are in need of it and will accredit u accordingly. (http://i.imgur.com/CUuWmjU.png) 

however on the note of weird alien foodstuffs regarding bizarre forms of milk i DO have another bodybuilder fave at my disposal for the time being (kefir, been takin care of a milk kefir grain for a good 4+ years now) so hopefully that will do regardin Easy Protein and my nerd spaz muscles until i get Jobbed Up and start raking in the moolah.

im on my meds now. lil worried about fluoxetine 'cause i'm not used to meds and i had a reaction recently so i hope im not allergic to anything else

as someone whos been on that v same med pharmacologically speaking YMMV.... (beth takes out her diorama on CYP2D6 metabolism speeds and serotonin transporter allele length discrepancies "PUT IT BACK BETH WE DONT CARE" puk yells. "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not fair" i whine as i begrudingly shove it back in my tatty nerd backpack)


...but its good if u need a kick up the butt pharmacologically (its "activating" as they say. it turns out i didn't need an activating drug) so see how you go on it. expect ur appetite to go down and if you've been doing a lot of laying around being sad expect a Coffee Buzz feeling and to be a bit more Up and With It, if thats the effect you're after. its quite a good med for most people?? but as with all meds if it aint The One, it just means ur one med closer to the med that actually works. good luck tho and keep fightin the good fight. (http://i.imgur.com/CUuWmjU.png)

a plus about it is that it has a stupidly long half life (its metabolite, norfluoxetine has a half life of like, almost a fortnight) so you can forget a dose for one day and still be in theraputic levels more or less. its why its prescribed also to forgetfuls and teenagers so if they miss a dose then they dont end up in Trouble. some people can stop taking it p much cold turkey and it tapers itself off? not reccommended obvs but good to know. and its used as a crossfade kinda thing for people having trouble coming off other SSRIs which is nice

also, and this goes for any other depressed nerds, try to avoid paxil/paroxetine/seroxat if you can cos that one aint the kindest of ssris.


ok IM SHUTTING UP NOW soz i just love talking about mental health stuff

 I keep meaning to pop down to the gym to renew my membership and to have a haircut whilst in town but I'll fall asleep at around 4am, wake up at 9am, then fall asleep again until like 3pm and by then the entire day is wasted because I'm groggy until about 4pm.

 Then with the gym, I'm torn between going to my first/current (hey-o) gym or a new one because I'm guessing loads of students have migrated to mine as the student discount has decreased from about 25% to 20%.

 This new gym is a traditional strength gym but I'm not sure if it's 90% machines and 10% free weights and that's off-putting since free weights are dank af. It's also next to a pub so all the drunks will be loitering during later gym sessions.

 It has been irking me since before December which is silly because it's just a gym but there's a line between the two that's dividing them into a casual and a "pro" category and when you actually want to make progress it's something that's important.

 Not to mention that my previous gym is packed now that the woman's only gym has closed and moved somewhere else. I'm totally supportive of ladies making them gainzz but when the gym is about the size of a classroom there's just not enough room and not enough machines for another gym's people to join us... especially when the gym has only moved down the road to a larger building.

Please never take Paxil if you can help it! Oh god...
I've been taking Zoloft by itself for over a year now, and it treated my depression singularly while doing nothing for my anxiety. I needed to add Buspar for everything to work properly. I highly recommend it - I feel clear, present, and euphoric now. My mental health hasn't been this good since I was 8.

It's a thrice daily medication with a half life of 8 hours. The efficacy is 6 hours in my body. I can feel it at work and leave my system so I take it as needed.

I'm pretty activated lately though. I'm having a bit of an issue with insomnia. I feel too good and without much of a need for a break.

i hope muscle weighs more than fat cos for a laff i stepped on the scales for the first time in 2 years to check what my semi-sporadic lifting has got me and im 16.8 stone (107 kg in modern world weights) and i just checked fitocracy to update it and the old weight is





13.3 stone (85 kilos). uh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh (fat emoji)

id be worried cept i luv being a fatty u can fit more pies and curry in ur fat gut when ur fat. when you're thin its all "ohhhhhh anyone got some zero-cal gluten free organic vinegar for my iceberg lettuce salad. all my hair is falling out." over the constant knocking of your own bones. also you burn weight quicker as a fatty when you exercise but slim jims have to do a pentathalon.

 I think muscle weighs more than fat as a friend is like 14 stone but mostly muscle now! Keep making them gains brah!

 It'll probably take like... three to four months to get down to 15 stone from 18. It's not bad, like, because of that whole #newyearnewme crap but whew, three months of suffering until I get back to normal.

 Fortunately cottage cheese and tuna doesn't taste that bad with some veggies and pepper and these cookbooks are an excuse to try other foods... although one of them is how to make cakes and stuff and I don't know what the author was thinking but generally fitness and dieting doesn't equal eating cakes 24/7 because they have protein :/

 Also one of my favourite lifters looks like this girl I was hella into lmao and now it's putting me off her and she doesn't have much of a following on Tumblr so I can't fitness spam.

 That feel when a band makes one great song but then all their other stuff is mediocre at best.

 Awh, man! I haven't had jager since Jack Murphey's about three years ago and the guys are still salty because they split a bottle and one of them got shafted.

 Wasn't there that whole thing about Jagerbombs being really bad for your insides or something?

Wondering if art/design is ever going to be more than just a hobby/expensive pastime for me ahaha
The thought of applying for proper design jobs next year terrifies me tbh. Honestly wish I decided on studying something else. No idea about what I want to do next year like lbr the chances of me getting a job are at 0. Still thinking of maybe a pgde or a masters but I also really want to just take a year out to work and travel cause I'm getting close to burning out :)

^It's simple. Watch Trigun.

To start off, I went to do my hair for church. We bought some stuff to help my hair stay down. Needless to say, it didn't work, so we tried 2-3 other things and my hair finally started to cooperate.

Next, I went to make lunch for everyone and then I had to switch loads of laundry out. When I finally get back into the kitchen, everything's already been eaten/put up.

Finally, Pokemon Colosseum. It's a lot different from what i'm used to. I missed croconaw because umbreon decided to have a rare crit on a secret power that should've done ~22% so I could snag it. Umbreon had other ideas obviously. Then I had to google how to save and yyou have to go to a PC to save your game, which is stupid to say the least.

Still hating my job after like what 5 months of being down here
Part of me is like 'wait until the summer and just transfer to another store after the holidays' and the other part is like 'quit now!!!!'
my new store is just so disorganised and awful. I know I'm lucky to have a job etc etc but having been thrown on a completely new department it's not going well :) I'm so slow like I clock out usually another 15-20 mins after I'm supposed to. Being in a customer facing role isn't for me I don't think. Having to deal with people all the time is exhausting like you never get a chance to actually do stuff that needs doing! Least in the bakery customers only ever came to you if they wanted a loaf sliced but with the deli it's just constant.
I've got about a year and a bit's worth of supermarket retail experience in various departments, so like I'm considering defecting to Tesco or Asda but i get the feeling it'll just be the same crap but under a new company...
oh well least I'm off for a week thank god

 Uni starts at 11 tomorrow and there's a three-hour break.

 Also, we've apparently got new groups and nobody told us before the holidays... thanks you nobs. This could actually mean that I'll have to get up at anus o'clock if I'm in group 6 since it's a 9 o'clock start tomorrow.

 Lmao they're either horribly organised af or they expect you to know things that you haven't been told in uni. There were lecture notes for today, online, even though we didn't have lectures scheduled for today? No email mind. No emails regarding the new groups either.

 Could rant about this forever tbh. We're budding psychologists, not budding psychics.

i dont wanna sound all pseudointellectual philosiphy life coach or whatever here cos i hate that kind of thing myself more often than not but oh my god, literally run at full strength into failure. fail often and fail hard. learn to love failing whichever way u can. thats the only way ur going up.

check ur results, if they suck???? just try again but a bit better this time, somehow.





this goes for anyone with the failsads this february, aka the Last Stretch Of Horrid Winter before spring. idk i was heading for a heffalump and so i did some Weights and am now feeling Accomplished n Strong even tho i barely made my deadlift max this time but i got a good workout and the endorphins feel nice so ¯V(http://i.imgur.com/tszPQuX.gif)V¯

i mean i'll regret this in the next couple days but i bought me a nice back brace from lidls to go with my nerdlinger knee braces (also from lidls. get them while u can cos deece budget Support Braces are hard to come by without payin at least £10+ each per piece) should my back have a Tantrum tommorow cos i made it do a thing.




my ontopic post tho is idk if it counts as a first world problem??? its a Theatre Woe so its a bit bourgeoisie i guess. but i wish i'd gone and seen Beautiful Burnout (http://www.franticassembly.co.uk/productions/beautiful-burnout/) when it was touring theatres about 7 years ago instead of being too Scared about doing things. just listening to underworld and gettin Music Feels even tho i wasn't around for the whole rave scene etc. i guess.

 I couldn't actually find my results :dry: I'm guessing they're not up yet since I checked where they should be and where they could be pretty thoroughly.

 It's ingrained in me from sociology where I felt as if all my work was unfairly marked after my lecturer suddenly said "but Chris, I thought you were really misogynistic?" out of the blue when I said that I enjoyed studying feminism. All internal papers were marked lower and it killed my self-confidence as my external papers were marked C and above. It felt as if I was given the harder time for being the only straight guy on the course and that also meant that I had to sit through a lot of man-bashing.

 I don't know why she thought that since all my college friends were girls and I was quiet in class because I wanted to do well and concentrate. I was pretty offended lmao.

 Like, I resat all my first-year exams plus my maths GCSE so failure in general isn't scary, it's just the idea that this whole sociology crap will follow me through to psychology... and I don't want to have to pay to resit them again.



 You could try sumo deadlifts if you're having problems unless you're comfortable with the conventional deadlift tho. Is your back hurting because it's curving or an external thing because you really don't want to damage your lower back because it can hurt for months.

ohhhhhHHHHHH you mean Lesson Results not Weights Results. i forgot you posted about losin ur babyfat soz. i got the wrong idea and was going all Weights n Lifting Pep Talk haha. soz about that. freal tho on that note wth??????????????? at the teacher, if you dont mind me saying cos boy howdy would i have balked at hearing that and quit the class p much instantly on learning the class was being given by a bitter radfem.

just getting anyone to stay and stick with being receptive to Learning Feminism when its much easier to run away and get in the awkward corner of Internet Expert Opinions Haver/Retweet lord is a Good Thing in this day and age. and its a real shame when people wreck it by making dumb vindictive one-up Comments like that.

im probably being disproportionate idk but to literally say to your face "hmmery, my only male student. why are you telling me you, traitorous dickhaver, enjoyed my class? i thought u hated women!!! tee hee hee hee. this was an Epic Own that totally needed to be said to you" is like....??????????? if nothing else she was being derivative and cliché and also weird&bitter as hell

god im so mad @ this teacher i just had to eat a whole bowl of cereal to calm down. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. //rolls up my sleeves// tell me where she lives i'll introduce her to the riot grrl movement first hand as i beat her up while Teaches of Peaches plays in the bg

realtalk current feminism is at the 3rd wave i.e. "wow we uh forgot to check ourselves and all the feminist power got concentrated into rich white terf ladies. lets discuss n reform from that and try to include everyone this time" but not everyone caught the memo and its hard to roll this out academically to some of the more Conservative thinkers. combine this with the easy dopamine/adrenaline of Internet Notes/Internet Validation and you have p much a lot of Internet Drama regarding "those feminazis" and "the sjws" and "all dickhavers = scum" drama explained in a nutshell.

and also this goes for anyone wanting to study Gender Stuff, im being pre-emptive here but if you come up against the Feminist Crisis that a lot of blokes do in the age of the Feminist and want to get some legitimate Academic Bloke Politics on top of ur feminism w/o Accidentally/Shamefully Taking The Red Pill, look into a book called "Politics in Masculinities" (Messner, 1997) which is a good, if dated and slightly incomplete (no mention of transmen???) place to start to get a general gist of blokedom.

its a nice bonus to Feminist Theory cos then you see things from the other end of the looking glass and really understand how the whole dumb patriachy situation works in all its bizarre glory. and then the burning self-loathing of fedora men makes TOTAL SENSE. and suddenly dads being massive jerks make sense cos they thought it was Blokey to do so. and you realise how its just a Shame for all involved and how its so ludicrous that it still exists in this day and age and all the blokey types darent speak out against it bizarrely.




ANYWAY THO ths is getting really long so to save me more fervernt and passioned rambling the bottom line is that kind of stuff is a Shame to see in the year of our lord 2k16 for a whole bunch of reasons and is completely unacceptable imo. i wish i could hit her with a big q-tip gladiators style to make up for her outdated attitudes and im sorry it had to happen to you and i hope it doesn't put you off further persuits in the bizarre and hilariously/tragically ludicrous world of gender stuff.

also sorry everyone else for the feminist meltdown carepost. i just have a lot of Feelings about this kind of thing.

its a boring nerd story basically: so i did a weights but we have an ASDA delivery coming tommorow with quite a few bottles of beer in it (4 ales for £5 eyyyyyy current best deal outside of dragging them back from lidls) and i always love helping carrying the crates from the truck thru our gate into the house even tho they're meant to do that. cos i love to lift a heavy thing cos it feels good n nice and also its also Helping Out the people who have to do this crap all day non-stop and it makes their lives easier. so its win/win 4 me.

trouble is every time i do it anywhere near weights day (roughly twice) i have put my back out for a few days cos im too overeager or ive moved wrongly or the joints just want to hurt cos im foreverially a dumb spazmo baby. and im trying to Get Stronger to fend it off better but its a struggle i.e. my uni graduation photo where i am dual wielding wrist braces cos i will never escape Nerdlinger Hell agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHH

tl;dr: i will probably put my back out helping the asda delivery men tommorow cos im a big dumb idiot but if i do at least i got a brace to help this time unlike before where its just a lot of me going "omg im gonna die why am i such a stupid buttlord"

today i got home from a trip to venice that took 18 hours from start to finish and i get home and i'm like, "oh i need a shower" and shower then cook some food then my (almost slipped an expletive there) roommate that i am really growing to despise come in while im eating my eggs and is like, "YOU NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB CLEANING YOUR HAIR OUT OF THE SHOWER" and comes back with like 5 pieces of my hair and shoves them in my face and i'm like "um ok sorry" like if you wanna see all the hair i cleaned out of shower check the trash, it would blow your mind, i lose SO much hair in the shower its really hard for me to get it all out and i wish she just said "hey you know i noticed some hair in the shower and its gross so you should clean it lol" cause i would have got up and CLEANED IT NO PROBLEM

and then i do my dishes (which she never does :D) and then i'm like, "hey sorry if i sounded curt about the hair thing earlier haha i'm sorry its hard for me to get it all and im really sleep deprived at the moment" and she just looks up at me and goes "mhm" and back down to looking at her laptop

like holy moly petition to kick this girl out on the street. everyone that i live with tries so hard to be nice to her despite the fact she's perpetually awful. the girl who shares a bedroom with her had to split a closet and she mistakenly thought it would be a fair 50/50 and then this girl (her name is shay) ended up moving her clothes into her section of the closet to take up like 2/3rds of it. then had the nerve to ask for more space. then when the girl refused shay's like, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO COMPROMISE"

i seriously wish we could like... do something about her... but the housing arrangement is final. worst part is she NEVER leaves the apartment! she told me she pays thousands on top of her tuition to come to Italy and does nothing but skype her boyfriend and parents all day long in the apartment. i wish she stayed in the US more than anything especially since she likes to not shut up about how great new york city is, especially when i'm trying to concentrate on homework! unsurprisingly, the girl has no friends here so far

we even try to invite her out because we're like, "well maybe she doesnt like to go it alone" and she sits there looking super bored the whole time. like i have had some roommates i didn't really like but i'm contemplating going down to a church sometime soon and praying she just leaves lol

Playing my Nuzlocke on Ruby and letting my friend nickname my pokemon. Thanks to the nicknames he kept giving them I had to keep resetting and starting over. So far I have caught 5 pokemon, and lost 3 of them to critical hits (surprisingly not to Roxanne). Lastly, just as the silcoon I caught in the Petalberg Woods was about to evolve, said friend somehow wrestled it from me and pressed B, so I missed making it useful until level 12.

I feel your pain, one of my flatmates is like that!!

She left her dishes ~soaking~ for like 3 weeks in the basin like taking up half the sink and finally did them when we had a flat inspection. She's still not put her stuff away yet like I'm sure it's dry now???

She blares her music like most of the time, during the night it's even worse. I've started sleeping with headphones in just so I can actually sleep. I don't know if she's deaf or just likes people to hear her conversations but numerous times I've heard her angry Skype calls with her ldr boyfriend. The door slamming is the worst though like I'm sure she tries to wrench it off every time she opens it.

I don't even know what she's studying or if she even go to uni???? Like she's English so she's having to pay £9000 a year up here for her tuition so. I'm like 90% sure she's a daddy's girl/yah which is annoying lol

We should get them talking and then they can both move out together!

There's an American exchange girl in my class this semester and I think she's from Minnesota and studying in Massachusetts (or the other way around I can't remember lol). She was telling us about massholes and how great your state is Liz cause it's the only place you don't pay tax on purchases haha.

that's so awesome you're meeting someone from where i am! if you look up new england vs. minnesota accents you can figure out where she's from pretty quick, the difference in how we talk is crazy. and yay the NH love! Massholes are the worst, I can tell you a million stories about just how bad at driving they are! Although the drivers here in Italy are arguably worse! and yes the no sales tax is incredible, but its also what lures the massholes into our peaceful habitat... she must be a transfer though because its well known that massholes are totally oblivious to the fact they're massholes. i have several friends from that state and driving with them is like a death cage at times and they have no idea

I'm failing a Preliminary Chemistry course, and I'm taking the minimum amount of required credits to be a full time student.
I recently missed 3 weeks of class due to personal reasons, and my professor emailed me and basically told me to drop the class.
If I drop the class I won't be able to live on campus any more.
Basically, I hecked up.
I'm thinking of just not showing up to it, and accepting that I'll be on academic probation next semester. (Academic probation basically means if I fail another class, I'm kicked out of cool leg)

tl;dr: i will probably put my back out helping the asda delivery men tommorow cos im a big dumb idiot but if i do at least i got a brace to help this time unlike before where its just a lot of me going "omg im gonna die why am i such a stupid buttlord"

 Did you end up pulling your back? It might be worth picking up a weightlifting belt for those kind of lifts.

 Aye, the sociology lecturer was a massive nob but her passive-aggression pushed me towards social psychology which, in turn, pushed me towards psychology.

 The psychology thing would have also come from when I had some depression and used some very basic CBT without realising it until picking up a book on psychology lol.





 Fallout 4 is really buggy and I can't start a new game because it freezes and I'm just stood there staring at my guy's wife's cryo-pod whenever I regain control of my dude. My main-save is glitched since The Railroad's PAM isn't allowing me to talk to her and finish this quest even though I really want that ballistic weave modification.

 It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that I'm at the point where I can't progress with any of the other factions without initiating the "end game".

 Man, The Railroad had so much more potential. They're like the people that smuggled Jews out of Germany in WWII (well, that's the vibe I get) but they... they don't really do anything interesting throughout the game as far as I've seen.

 Thought Desdemona was really cool too but she does nothing but complain about how they can't risk being discovered.

 Really hope there's a DLC that expands on them. Maybe they could have a larger presence somewhere else where they train synths to become Railroad Heavies.

 This BBC3 show, man... "Is Britain Racist?".

 On the plus side, Wales, N.Ireland, and Scotland aren't part of Britain (apparently) so it's just a show where minorities are going into English working-class areas.

 Holy crap, this show is so bad. They've got people giving out doughnuts in order to see if people are racist... if you don't take one, you're a racist.

 It's like... anecdotal evidence everywhere and none of the statistics are cited because they don't support the goals of the show.

 Omfg it's so bad. It's so bad.

 This cognition test is so bad. These white people prefer white people, big surprise. These black people prefer black people, big surprise. How the heck is this racism?

 Please... can we shut down BBC3? I'm literally dying from poor statistics and paid actors.

shay the horrible roommate left her clothes on the clothes dryer for two days when it only takes a couple of hours to dry and my roommate moved her clothes onto the couch because she had wet clothes she needed to put up and shay came into our rooms while we were getting ready to sleep and proceeded to whine at my roommate when she admitted to doing it. she's like, "if you need me to do something, don't just touch my stuff, ask me first" liiiiike that's exactly how i felt about that hair in the shower situation just a couple days ago???

then this morning she woke me at 11 am to the sound of her singing loudly in the other room :)

she just left the apartment to go to class and wow it feels incredible to not hear her skyping or singing in the other room. she's killing me inside :)

edit: she told the girl in the room next door she's "never gotten along with a roommate" WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO BE SO INTOLERABLE THEN???

 I just don't know howto ask her.

 Torn between texting her something like "fancy doing something/going out (can't decide) on Valentines Day?" or "will you be my Valentine?". The second one is hella cliché but the first one doesn't seem to get to the point.

 Idk.

Did you end up pulling your back? It might be worth picking up a weightlifting belt for those kind of lifts.

funnily enough my back was fine?????? its my knees which were and are the trouble but theyve been funny for a while now. kinda dont behave right and only feel Right when im sitting on one of them/have them crossed which is prolly a bad sign anyway. i know preferring one side of your body to sit on is a bad sign cos of hip flexor stuff???

doctors were uninterested and vague when i went and asked so i just put the knee braces on when they're playing up and dont take them off till bed that night. im gonna be looking cool and nerdy for summer i think when its shorts weather i guess

tbh i think/hope mastering the actual weighted squat (could barely pull off a supported body weight squat to begin with) has Strongified my back up???? mighta just lifted with my back instead of my knees that day

also i got Distracted from ur earlier post but if the place u work in begins with S and ends with s my condolences, i managed just under 5 years before crashing out horridly and UGH the place is a complete Mess. boy howdy do i have so much greviences about how that place does its thing from the top to bottom.

try to flog a place on a First Aid course if they offer you one (saves u ~300 quid unless the only time its offered is when the two worst people in the store are going and ur like "screw it i'll just pay for one later in life" like me) and then hi-tail it outta there to Social Care or Schools Stuff (a lot of primary school staff on my first aid course. at least half of them) instead cos god do not stay there for longer then is neccessary.

I'm registered with a dr at home still but like I messed up my chances when they offered me therapy stuff so I'd be reluctant to go back for this kind of stuff again. I don't know if it's just the time of year but since I came back to uni after Christmas I've just felt pretty crap tbh. Been talking to friends in my class and I think if I can I'll speak to my lecturer today. I've got a reading week in two weeks time so I'm planning on going home and just unwinding.

See I thought they seemed nice to work for? Granted there was none were I lived until like 2011 so I've only really been in them since I moved here. I think supermarket retail in general is awful unless you work in waitrose lo. I work for the one of the ~big 4~ beginning with M ahaha. My old store was like a palace compared to this place, it's a lot bigger and I just hate it. I'd quit in in an instant but I need £££ really and even though it's hell 90% of the time it gets me out of the student bubble.
Didn't think of doing a first aid course it's probably be worthwhile I think. I don't even know when they offer them, they're pushing for everyone to get til trained, no thanks lmao. I'm planning on doing some volunteering when I get myself round to applying at a kids art centre. Ideally and hopefully I'm only going to be there until next August/September 17. Still wanting to go down the pgde route or maybe a masters. Thinking of transferring to another store when I come back after the summer 'yours is too far soz :(' surely all of the stores here can't be that bad??? Plus the fact I'm on a department I had no prior training in so I just got pushed off a cliff last September with everything happening all at once (moving away, uni, work).
this is my problem like I can see the future etc but just hate the present and know it's not going to change any time soon lol

 I had to butcher the post so I didn't flag up that plagiarism but knee supports are pretty ace! I've got one that I swap from knee to knee but they only really play up after squats or when it's cold. They're pretty fab in general.

 Psychology is really interesting so far but we only briefly touched on Freud and the majority of what we did was criticisms because of how his stuff was. One of his patients was afraid of dogs so he linked that to the patient walking in on his parents doing the deed doggy-style...

 It would totally be worth it to see if you could do A-Level psychology since I think that would involve Freud more but it'll depend on where it is :p

 There was a bit on eugenics and that was... like... really interesting since I had only read about the Nazis doing it but it was pretty popular in America at one point and they did some pretty nasty things to immigrants (from what I remember).

 The Bell Curve might be worth a read. Charles Murray was one of the authors but I only remember him from sociology since he's the guy for The New Right and they're like "lmao underclass scum" which is below the working class and all that stuff was pretty interesting.

I have a mock exam this Friday, about a week ago I was thinking "yeah I'll be okay, I'm feeling good and positive". This week? Basically I relapsed proper bad last Thursday and it's stayed awful since, bc depression and anxiety piled on top of exam stress and a huge lack of friends = personal nightmare. I'm referring myself to the college counsellor but even with that and support group, I feel like I'm bound to go even lower than this. It's overwhelming me far too much. I don't want to be all "blame mental health not me for flopping the exam" but it's made trying to revise so much harder than it should be. I could probably still get a D grade but I'd be better off without this crap going on.

Someone messaged me asking me what's up, I explain it all (expect for one really personal thing he shouldn't know about me), but he's all "yeah i know how you feel" and talks about how he's with a girl who dissociates--as I mentioned dissociation. Him knowing how I feel isn't...very useful. I mean, he's reassuring me that I'm not alone I guess but that's all I feel I can get out of him mentioning his knowledge of my feelings???? Well, not like you can know exactly how someone is feeling, which sorta makes me think saying "i know how you feel" seems kind of useless.

 I really want to get an aftershave for the spring and maaaaybe summer but I don't know what to get :( One of the Hugo Boss ones is on the list since it smells of, like, watermelon or something but ehh.

 It's weird but I've always picked things that remind me of things and holy fudgeballs, I've found one that has honey in the middle notes so it might smell like one of those Smelly Belly things that used to come in those eggs and you would sniff them and they would smell of things like lavender, vanilla, honeycomb and whatever (I remember mint?).

 I don't understand why people share pictures of abused animals on Facebook? Nine times out of ten, they don't even have animals living with them so they're posting a picture of a mutilated dog with something like "so sad *emoji* *emoji*" and it's like.... mate, there are people who have taken in their pets from a shelter and this stuff could really upset them. It can really upset anyone tbh. I have three dogs and I don't particularly want to see it.

Making a passing remark is totally fine but when done to excess, it annoys me as much as the soppy lovey-dovey Facebook posts you'll probably find lingering around somewhere.

 My side has been hurting all day when I inhale and in the worst case scenarios, I'll have kidney stones or I would have knackered one of them but I probably slept awkwardly tbh - it kept me out of the gym and I'm irritated. If it persists I'll have to check the doctors but until now, I'm drinking  lot of water.

 Might tweak my diet for a few days.


 I'm talking to someone who was dicked around by her "ex" (idk what to call him, she hasn't really said) so I told her how annoying these guys are because they've killed another friend's self-esteem and confidence even though she's honestly stunning and the girl I'm talking to thought I was talking about her...

 It was a really heart-felt message too so she probably thinks I'm a mushy, fedora-wearing, m'lady saying, nice guy when I'm just sorta into someone else.

 It's probably not that but I wanted to get it out there since that was one of my biggest fears since I was really reserved with any use of supplements.


 If they put gel on my side and scan me I'll ask them if it's a boy or a girl and get some bants going on.

yo so i just wanted to have a casual thing with an italian guy and like 20 minutes after he left my apartment he messages my saying "i like you (multiple emojis)" and then last night he asked me out in broken english. like i can't say no he's just too dang cute AND he told me how to get peanut butter for super cheap because they don't really sell it here. it's just i have 3 more months in the country and i don't wanna actually like him and create more problems for myself, but too late, i fell in love after he told me how to find peanut butter.

 I have to miss a practical today in order to get an appointment with my GP because side pains is one of the symptoms of the big C being in your kidney and recently another member of my family was diagnosed so I don't want to take any risks.

  I honestly doubt that it's the big C and that it's something minor since the intensity of the pain has lowered by quite a bit and it's no longer constant but it seems to be more of an occasional sharp pain.

 Hopefully I can join another group to sit the practical.

 It appears that I was given this 9am slot out of spite for not applying for a group because the email was strikingly similar to the various spam emails that we are sent. I don't mind waking up at 6 but now that I've had to make a choice between my health and my education I'm quite annoyed tbh. Especially when major feedback, linked to my name, states that it's difficult to attend or get home from lectures at specific times due to trouble with transport and the fact that I do not live in the city.

 ALSO! We were sent an email to alert us to our personal tutor meetings on the 16th when mine was on the 15th!? Surely common sense says "the earliest meeting here is on the 15th, maybe you should send this on the 12th".

 So along with disruptive spam and incompetent organisers, the email system is okay-ish. Just kidding. I can't opt out of this either. They're going to spam me with stupidly timed mosque open day invites and obscure seminars on things like "feminist theories on snoods" until I finish university and then they'll probably move onto my personal email.

My great grampa isn't doing great, he had a mini stroke at the weekend but has just gone downhill quickly since. I'm so worried :( it's awful to say but at least when my great granny went it was much more sudden and unexpected. Doesn't help the fact I'm hundreds of miles away from home in case something happens.

just got the bad news on the phone. I'm coping okay but I know once I get home it'll be bad

speaking from endless rodent breeding, it's time to take mum away from the ratmen. maybe look into getting some cheap cages and splitting the young boys and girls off when they're ready?

if rats are anything like gerbils, girls can store sperm and have babies away from males it's slightly... annoying when you come down to discover 23424 more rodent children

I've split them up when Floki had the pups, but gestation is 23 days... we just didn't get it in time. Bjorn is awaiting his sons eagerly... We have 3 cages as it stands so we should be okay until we get Bjorn done.

It's cool though, we used to breed rats when I was younger, so I'm not 100% new to this :)

so yeah my personal recommendation: go anywhere else. maybe to rome where it can be 5:30 AM and a guy will start yelling disgusting things at you or you cant order in a mcdonalds because there's 3 different tables of guys shouting at you. before 6 am.

i loved mount vesuvius! im a mountain person though, me and my roommate both. we hike mountains because they're nature's version of a challenge, and they're there. they need to be climbed.

 Hopefully this post comes on page 101 because that's where the Sole Survivor comes from in Fallout 4 YEEEEEH BOIII!

 I asked a friend if she wanted to go thrifting since she seems like the type of person who would like to do that sort of thing and volunteering has taught me that there are a few hidden gems to be found in charity shops and I'm guessing military surplus shops but I'm not sure about the latter since it's surplus military gear.

 Anyway, she said no and that she didn't have money so I said that it's okay and not to worry and that we should do it when she can and that it's up to you. Pretty sure that she was hinting that she didn't want to do it at all so I say it's okay and leave it but I think that she thinks I took offence or something or maybe she is genuinely skint and I've just locked her out of my activity circle because she didn't have the money.
 
 I really hope it's not the latter since I'm skint 95% of the time and I've only got money right now because I don't like spending my grant because it doesn't feel like my money.

 Dunno. It's like... I'm not sure what happened. I feel bad about something and I don't know what it is.

I know what you mean about Pompeii, we didn't get to see it all because it is genuinely huge!

Vesuvius is incredible, when we went up our panoramic shots were all really rubbish because it was a misty day (in the middle of summer???) and we brought my grandad with us, too.

That was way back in 2012, but I've sort of caught the active/dormant volcano bug now because we climbed three in Tenerife the other year too. Probably something to do with my brother studying Volcanology and that lmao.

If you get the chance though you should totally go to Sorrento or Amalfi, they're really beautiful places to be :-)

But it's my favorite beer and we don't have it in america. i'm just like... super nervous. i don't know, it's kind of difficult for me because obviously english isn't his first language so sometimes i find him hard to understand and if the pub is too crowded it will only make it more difficult. and i'm like, what if we run out of things to talk about, all of that stuff... and then on top of that i don't even know why i'm going out with an italian guy i'm going to have to leave in a couple months!

oh wait i do its because he's too hot for me to say i'm not interested in spending time with him... but yeah i just don't want him to consume my life or anything or else it will be really really hard to leave florence? i mean its too late for that we talk almost every day :s

 The worst part about shaving your head is when you haven't gotten around to doing it so your hair needs to be dried but you forget and shampoo or whatever chemicals in your head stubble starts leaking down and burning your eyelids.

 Hooray for chemical burns!

 Also, I'm not sure if my practical report is due tomorrow or Thursday but it's literally just a matter of touching it up and adding averages since the written work was #verygood but the statistics were abysmal and I essentially wrote "I've messed up and this means that there can be no scientific statement made but there does appear to be a correlation between X and Y" at the end.

 Might start getting the graphs in 30 minutes since it sounds really simple and instead of comparing individual statistics I compared them all and got a value of like... 600.

 It's due in on Thursday and I'm only in until about 12 so I can have the whole day to make some sweet and passionate mathematical calculations. Whilst playing Barry White, of course.

All but one of the workers there were female and the one guy working there gave me an 'i'm sorry, not my decision' look. Ok, even if that were true, you could just say you're not hiring and leave that part out, because that's discrimination.

I know this one person who likes to get in people's faces whenever she challenges somebody's argument, not in a mean aggressive way but in more of an excessive, theatrical way. I guess she's... playfully intimidating? Cheeky? Idk. Still I'm not used to this kind of behavior and feel threatened by it so I end up saying nasty things back at her. She thinks I'm mean afterwards and I feel so bad about myself because I'm nice to everyone else. But I know exactly what causes me to be that way. I want to explain this to her and ask her to stop invading my space like that but she's kind of the person who takes great pride in her uniqueness and accuses people of trying to tell her how to live her life. Anyway I usually can't stop myself around her and think before I act because when somebody gets in your face like that my instinctive response is to defend myself

No counterpoints from me, that was kind of rude coming from the worker. Also that's strange considering the fact that I went to the nearest Dairy Queen in December and saw a boy from school working there. He was even a grade under me

 I keep telling my friend that I want to lose weight because I'm fat/chubby (not going into gym talk, don't worry breh-drens) and I personally think I'm overweight so I'm working at losing the weight.

 Whenever I tell her she says that I'm not fat, that I'm tall, and that I'm fine and it's annoying because she would honestly be one of the prettiest things in the world no matter what weight she is but idk.

 I'm giddy-tired and I can't tell if I've finished my point or not because I'm too tired.

 Spent nine hours on a lab report mind. This douche-canoe that I've been paired with in lab class has made our questionnaire revolve around his personal interests and this will inevitably ruin our questionnaire because he made a massive fuss about me mentioning Netflix because he doesn't have it in his country (you're living here tho???) and then he went on to make the entire thing revolve around him.

 It's horrendously annoying because he made a fuss about him being from Hong Kong so my Western questions don't work so... unless the rest of our class is from Hong Kong, our questionnaire is going to fall flat on its face.

 His logic was "we can't use that question because it doesn't apply to me". He then goes on to ask everyone what time they workout. What does "workout" mean? Nobody apart from him knows because he didn't operationalise it. My only guess is that he meant weights because he mentioned another cardio-based question later on.

 Our questionnaire isn't even about the gym. The times at which an individual works out is not dictated by whether they are a morning or an evening person (which is what our questionnaire is meant to find out) because universities, jobs, and other responsibilities will dictate when you exercise. His questions are generally awful and the lecture made it obvious that my questions were preferred.

 He's not even a nice. He tried palming the work off to his friend and was saying crap like "C'mon you pussy, don't be a little b***h". What is this? Why would someone, who's a general dick, take psychology when it's likely that you'll have to work with the vulnerable at some point?

 Can't stand my group tbh. We've got Mr Broscience Projector, Mr Idunwanna Work, and Mr Bikeseat Sniffer.

 This is why you sit next to people you know, kids. If you sit on your own, you attract all the weird kids who don't have a backbone between them.

 That's not to mention the fact that we're doing a project that isn't even interesting or relevant to a student's general interests. They keep giving us these crappy projects to do and the complain about a lack of enthusiasm.

 If it was something interesting, like "does a person's favourite smells tell us they're personality type?" I'll be all over that like the Tories slagging off Corbyn, but no. We're conducting research that isn't very interesting tbh.

 Also, someone kept spouting "what about mental health???" when asked about contributing factors to sleeping patterns and it's like "fam, you've read Psych2Go on Tumblr. I get it.".


 Feels better to get that off my chest tbh.

blaze -- unfortunately, just with the way the stupid fast food industry works, they hire a lot of girls because i guess they're less intimidating to put out front or something. and the majority of what happens at a dairy queen happens in the front. it's dumb, when i worked at Panera they'd usually put all the pretty girls (and a few exceptionally attractive softly spoken men) on the register. most of the guys i worked with were either dishwashers, worked to clean the dining room, or were actually preparing the food. my brother is a manager at five guys and he says his boss insists that men work the grills, and girls work the register. once again, the most he could stretch was there was this one cute lil nugget boy who was exceptionally awful at the grill and instead of firing him his boss said, "oh he can do register". only boy my brother says he has EVER seen work a reg there, besides management if stuff hits the fan

you do not want to go into food service anyway. they pay you peanuts for the amount of work you do. people will whine about it a lot, but i would really suggest in my 4 years of working bottom rung jobs GO FOR RETAIL. have your mom show you how to fold clothes if you don't do it yourself and just apply for every clothing shop you can. if you have a mall nearby, a couple will usually try to get back to you. i'd suggest macy's, i did holiday work there and made $10 at the start, and at the end they bumped their lowest wage up to $11. all i did was fold clothes and put them away, and occasionally show some old ladies where to find a certain section. my friend worked at Best Buy and got $9 bumped to $10 to scan items at a register. meanwhile, panera bread, i'd work long stressful shifts on my feet doing 3 different people's jobs, i did this for 2 1/2 years, and i went from $7.25 to $7.86. management in fast food places are the absolute worst too. i've heard dairy queen is a poopheap too. consider this a blessing

yes and don't forget... if you decide to do a fast food joint, that's your own prerogative. but most likely you'll be slaving over a bunch of grease and if you didn't have acne your face will look like a pizza afterwards. if you have acne, it will look like you spent a night in the amazon for the entirety of your employment. i will reiterate: not worth it. if you need to take a job, make sandwiches at subway or something until you can score a better paying lower effort retail job. its generally pretty easy to get a job in fast food. there are reasons for this.

ALSO: PLEASE do not overwork yourself, this is another reason why i discourage my younger counterparts from working fast food. panera was a 3 or 4 pm to - 10 or 11 pm job on weeknights. this isn't just PB, this is most places you will work, they'll want you to put in 6 to 8 hours. when you need to catch a bus at 6:30 AM, you'll stop doing your homework so much and go to school sleep deprived because i remember at the three fast food jobs i worked my managers would try to make me feel obligated to work more than i could handle working. there was one point at PB i was doing ~30 hours a week while going to high school full time and my grades SUFFERED. i'm talking A and B student to getting my first D. at macy's they were like "yeah you're getting x hours becauuuse that's literally all the labor hours we have for you lol" for those couple of sleep deprived days you'll have... you'll just find out if you're a coffee or tea drinker.

you give me the impression of being exceptionally bright... i was pretty bright too but even i let a stupid job mess with my scholarships and college admissions. i probably seem like i'm being a parent to you but do not make the same mistakes i did, i'm only just working to recover from all that stress i put myself through now

I've applied to be a busboy at a local restaurant, to work at subway, and to work as someone to work the counter at this burrito place that is going in that runs sort of like chipotle when assembling food. So I haven't applied at like McDonald's and stuff. Plus i've set up my hours on the form so i'm only available until 9 PM max, and that's only on Saturdays. So I am at least trying to be careful.
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: Kpyna on February 25, 2016, 23:05
best of luck! just don't forget that they may guilt you into working more time than you initially signed up for, i said the same thing with panera. i actually said 9pm and for a couple weeks i'd get 9pm. then they said, "hey it would be such a great help if you just would learn how to close, its just til 10pm". then you learn and they say, "hey we're in a pinch, can you cover a closing shift?". then before you know it you're working closing shifts almost every day of the week and then you're working an audit night until 1am and you have school the next day...

i did have an exceptionally bad experience with panera i feel lol i think i only stayed because some kind of stockholm syndrome. but stick by what you said, don't cave into their unreasonable demands, they're not likely to fire you because you want to work the hours they hired you for. if anything they'll start cutting your hours and then that gives you some time to write that store in as experience on your resume and then skip to somewhere else. there's nothing wrong with working at a few different places so long as you leave with at least 1 manager that likes you. say your reason for leaving is "unprofessional management" and then at your next interview bring that up and stroke the hiring manager's ego and say "right away you strike me as way more professional than most of my past managers"... ive never used that line and not been offered the job. i also say i'm looking for a leader and not a boss and they eat that right up too yeeeee

anyways i dont want to scare you too much, you'll probably love your coworkers and i really love working, truthfully. i actually miss not working here. just make sure you're being treated like a human being like you deserve, sometimes the people in control will forget that, especially since they'll see you as a naive teenager. don't be afraid to stand up for yourself.

OH and biggest mistake i made at the start? at the end of your interview they'll ask "any questions?" don't say no. just ask some questions about the job like what most new people find difficult, what they like about working there, or any genuine questions you have. if you're feeling real cheeky you can ask "do you have any hesitations involving me working here?" i usually end with that and they say no typically. that's a little introductory sales tactic for you, assumed close, i used to make real money off of suckers with lines like that. also if you happen to be driving by stop in once a week and ask a cashier if you can speak to a manager, confidently introduce yourself to the manager and say you applied and ask that they look at the application at their nearest convenience. if you're doing food go in between 3 to 5, that's a quiet time and they'll pay attention to you. remember EVERYONE wants to be confident so acting like it will magnetize potential employers towards you.

ok last note in this novel i wrote for u if you post you got an interview i'll have more unsolicited advice for you since my major is marketing / sales and selling is exactly what you do in an interview so i can give you some pointers to killing an interview.

DOUBLE EDIT: hey so i just read 20% of Donald Trump's supporters would oppose the Emancipation Proclamation (like, that ended slavery in the US). hillary clinton loses to him in most matchups, and if the DNC doesnt sort out their corruption issues she may get the nomination over Bernie, AKA our only sensible choice. sooo basically what european members will let me stay in their home come next january if i get them a job and pay rent or something?

 This job thing for uni is open for applications tomorrow. Like, if they read applications then I've got it since I'm pretty enthusiastic about counselling and I love talking to people about their problems because it's just interesting to see how everyone feels when you're rather stunted when it comes down to emotions.

 Just the effort of doing it...

 Just told someone that they're out of my league without really thinking? I'm actually quite full of myself so it's a pretty good compliment since I'm mint and I'm implying that they're mintier than me.

Not a good day for friends. Another one of my friends in the same aforementioned league on PS!'s Gold Server can't make 2 of the matches, so he complains about it to me because he was sure he couldn't get them rescheduled. I try to help him but eventually connect him to the league leader, who confirms that he can't. So then my "friend" starts trashing the entire league in pm's, so I tell him to suck it up or just quit the league. After that, he turns around and attacks me, and then when I retort, he threatens to report me, saying i'm instigating the fight. Yeah, big talk for someone who just flamed a global auth (I would've done something but I wasn't infallible tbh).

Also caught a fwooofy cotton birb in my Ruby Nuzlocke and mistakenly got rid of peck for fury attack.

 Those "Fun Snaps" things that kids throw at the floor and create a loud "pap" sound.

 A group of 17/18 year old kids were throwing them at people's feet because they thought it was funny and when he did it to me I told him to F- off. Needless to say, he took offence and his plebeian, underclass friends were saying stuff like "smack him" and I noticed they were filming so I walked inside and they follow.

 "I'm filming this live mind, people are watching!". When I stopped and turned to him his phone apparently died and his group walked off. It was anti-climatic but it has really annoyed me.

 Tamping at the moment. Really annoyed.

 Why are there people like this? It's not funny and it's degenerate behaviour like this that characterises the underclass of society and nobody says anything so you get these people thinking that it's okay to do this.

There was a piece in the Guardian about a stag party kicked off a Ryanair flight that was forced to land in Berlin because they were absolutely blotto. The groom was one of them, but six of the party were allowed to continue on to Bratislava.

It's this whole thing of "I have to have several drinks before going on the plane" or "I have to get half cut before going out" or "It's not a football day without going to the pub." Why do you have to get blotto before doing these things? If you have to get drunk to get on a plane then that just tells me you need someone to hold your hand during takeoff and landing.

What's more, it's ALWAYS these 'lad' British twenty-somethings that are doing it.

 I'm annoyed because I can't say why I'm annoyed without potentially costing someone their job since I can't be the only one frustrated by this if it gets attention it could actually cause friction.


 Might have gotten myself a date by telling someone I have a grand to blow through. It was a joke since I told my friend how this lass was really money-orientated and lost interest in me because she thought I didn't have money.

 Like, I don't really like this lass because she's really up herself and says things that really rub me the wrong way tbh. I don't like rating people's looks because I'm a sucker for personality but she's not exactly the most attractive woman around but has the personality of Kim Kardashian.

 Don't get me wrong, I'm not the best looking guy and have a personality that's like paint stripper but at least I'm humble and kind-hearted.

 
 Comes off as a gold digger tbh and I'll probably bail.

It's the Cheltenham races next week which means it's gonna be absolutely chockablocka here for a full five days & that could be really good for street collections but our challenge leader won't hand out our permits to collect on public property in Cheltenham? It really sucks because I don't have lectures next week so I could literally street collect five days straight and I'd get hundreds because it's just drunk rich Irish men & St Patrick's day which means they literally throw money away??

This sounds silly, but I have felt uncomfortable about consuming food lately because I think of those in the world who go hungry. Maybe it's because I haven't worked this year and feel like I haven't earned my share, or it's because all my life I've been told that people in third world countries suffer more than I do (not necessarily true)

 ^Maybe there has been something bad on their side like a death or something in the family or even their health? It's pretty crappy practice to do a 180 on a patient and leave them in the dark, pretty dickish too. Especially when it's their job to help people who can't help themselves and stuff.



 University is becoming like a sea marathon and I'm burning out but I can't stop because I'll just sink. There's one week left until a three-week Easter break.

 This gym-limbo is really stressful too.

 It doesn't help when people are asking why I'm so annoyed all the time when the amount of stress that I'm under is out of this world right now. I'm mentally exhausted 24/7.

 
 Also, an old friend has recently come back into my life and since she's like a sister to me everything's weird since I had gotten over the falling out and now it could happen again lol.

You should try getting into Birmingham when the German Market is in town and it's three times as bad for two months.

The problem is that the race course is next door to the Park n Ride so all the busses get held up and the makes congestion all the way through town (because of the horrific one way system and it all tails back around the uni, and my halls, and then the traffic lights near Tesco get absolutely packed - which they are 100% of the time anyway and that cuts of every entrance to Chelt. You have to remember that Brmingham is a city, so there's a lot more space for the cars to go, whereas Cheltenham's only a town. It's gonna be horrific.

Anyway lol I'm a massive baby and we went into Ann Summers today and I giggled the entire time 😛

 It might be lava but at least it'll be warm for once.

I was in the lift bringing a trolley of laptops down, but there was people outside waiting to go in the lift, one of them, just to take the piss, kept putting her foot in the door as it closed. She did it twice. Once I shouted at her "Do you mind?!" She stopped. Then the other guy put his foot in the door, he got his shoe caught in the door. The lift door wouldn't close properly and was trying to go down. Despite pressing the "open the doors" button, it wouldn't open. I panicked. After a few moments, the lift started to go down and I got out. I said "Thank f(three letters) for that!"

Let that be a lesson to you idiots! 8)

 I have a friend who's just generally quite bad at every game he plays. He's a good sport and generally fun to play with (even if it costs us the win) so I took his advice and bought the recent Mortal Kombat for something to do over the Easter holidays.

 He's really good at this game.

 I looked through his statistics and on one character he has about 200 wins and 27 losses. It would't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that his main is the character that I was aiming to main.

 
 The game is fantastic but I'm not clicking with any of the characters. Ferra/Torr was my go-to since I figured they would play like Solomon Grundy from Injustice but I'm not getting anywhere with my combos lol.

 I'll probably check YouTube for some tips.

Last night was pretty crappy tbh like £40 for the whole thing. The food was nice and there was free pizza at the end which was good. Honestly though that was the worst ceilidh I'd been to in my life like???? The guy was shouting the instructions over the band while they were playing so when we started it just didn't work at all. The Virginia reel had weird moves and the first normal strip the willow was a train wreck. Orcadian one wasn't as bad and was mental as usual. Plus there was only 4 of us from band there and it was so awkward. Even as we got drunk it was still awful. I'll know not to go next year lmao

I'll probably check YouTube for some tips.

That's what I did for a few of my characters in smash bros. I thought cloud was going to play pretty much like Ike (yeah, the radiant hero's playstyle is called footsies), but Cloud is more of a pressure/keep away character without limit. You should pressure with short hop nairs and dairs then charge limit every chance you get. It's really interesting what you can learn on YouTube if you do some digging. Also, just do some more practice, because that alone can help you discover some things (Fox's dash attack not good for comboing? Ha, yeah right).

 ^ Managed to get a short combo for D'vorah and there's this annoying combo spam with Alien that's difficult to block.

 

 Gonna have to swallow my pride and go back to my original gym tomorrow. Really hate the way that the gym is going because it's ridiculous and poorly managed and I'll go through phases where I'm livid because of this and decide that I don't want to go but it's the only gym where I'll feel comfortable unless I go through that awkward phase where I don't know how anything works again idk.

 Uni gym is literally multiple meat-heads hogging an individual pieces of equipment but thankfully cardio is "gay" so they're afraid to use the cardio stuff incase it's a catalyst that turns them into the demi-gay or something. Fortunately the cardio equipment in uni is out of this world - they don't know what they're missing.

 

 Oh and my friend is really weird and just generally a dick and it really gets under my skin.

 My main thing against him is that he tries acting "alpha" all of the time because he's insecure about his masculinity and it's really annoying because he tries being a bit of a "lad" and this literally consists of saying "man the harpoons!" when any girl who isn't stick-thin comes up to us or goes past.

 Like...? I don't get him. He's sometimes okay but he's such a close-minded and insecure dick who is either a massive hindrance to us or he's just unpleasant to be around.

 His standards are higher than the Empire State so I can only imagine that he's one of those guys who has had their minds defiled by excess amounts of porn because he's punching far beyond his weight as it is.

 He's actually trying to gain muscle at the moment but he's completely ignoring my advice because he's so sure that he's right about something he's completely new to. If he could squat more than the bar I would let him snap his stuff up tbh just as a lesson in humility.

School ends at 2:15 pm tomorrow. For 47 minutes before 2:15, I have to deal with a class I like filled with people I despise for the most part (especially after today), then I have to loiter around the school for the hour because the directors for my play have other school activities, then I practice for another 45 minutes.

 Knees hurt
 Family is ill
 Mortal Kombat is bs


 I'm playing through the story and instead of increasing the difficulty it just seems that my blocks have a delay to them and the opponent can just break through my block anyway whilst gaining their special bars at an increased rate and your main offensive attacks have a decreased range. Oh, the opponent is also prone to just spamming the same combo until you die too.

 It's like in Dark Souls where you would get killed by an enemy although they didn't actually hit you? You get what I mean? Instead of it actually being difficult it's just unfair (even though that was DS's selling point).

 Really want to complete the story but it has gotten to the point where I'll put the controller down, wait until the fight ends and then restart so that the difficulty is back to normal and not broken to Hell.



 I'm also realising that one of my best friends is one of those people who absolutely has to one-up you no matter what it is. It's annoying because I've already got a friend like that. If I'm into photography then they have five cameras. If I'm into Warhammer, they've won a painting award. If I'm lifting weights they apparently curled 200kg with one arm.

wakin up at 4am feelin like living just aint worth it and nobody would care if i just did myself in tonight
typical tuesday am i right lads
i feel u

i had a depressive moment & then suddenly had this Weird Thing happen
like
i really hated myself and then it was like a switch and i started thinking everyone was artificial intelligence and that i was a lab experiment and things started getting really weird and bizarre and i started feeling paranoid about random irrelevant stuff & then all of my anxieties came on at once and i cried

i still have no idea what thats about bc thats the second time thats happened
i like its fake /now/ (i think? i dunno, theres some doubt) but im just trying to figure all of this out
and its weird weird weird
people are telling me its dissociation but i usually suffer from a different kind of it so maybe im just feeling it differently than usual but my meds are supposed to stop this

am i becoming used to them??? is my thought of 'theyre just placebos' making it so it doesnt work??? im a suspicious person but last night was just well over the top and im Worried

i get that a lot too. ive heard its a sign of ocd in some cases and honestly at this point im just like... whatever lol because if i have ocd then damn just pile it on with every other goddamn disorder i have.

it might be the meds though. ive had mine adjusted recently because i was becoming more paranoid and delusional than usual. now im just waiting for the 2 week period of getting used to the dose change to be over so i can tell if the urge to Just Die Already is because of the getting used to them or because of something else. once you get used to them it becomes harder to feel them working i guess? i dunno, id ask about them if i were you.

on the plus side of getting a higher dose: ive been too tired to be paranoid and anxious all the time! instead of thinking my parents have hired a hitman to take me out next time i leave the house, im now too miserable and tired to leave the house again at all! thats gotta be a plus. i make my own silver linings.

hopefully you're both okay though :o

So I was with friends for an hour doing a quiz in pride society, it was a hella good time and all but now that I'm home alone...I feel bad? I feel isolated and lonely because outside of college I have nobody to turn to. It doesn't help that I reckon my old best friend from high school may have...ended himself. Nothing from him in ages when we would be talking a lot before, even when he was busy we still talked. Hope he's okay but I'm so worried that he isn't.

I got her a parting gift, but it wasn't until after the lesson because my aunt didn't realize it was her last day, so I didn't get to see her open it. I hope she likes it.

My stupid parent asked me if I took my phone to school. I did. Then she starts saying "I told you you're not allowed to take your phone to school" oh, really? What if I/you need to call me? What if I get lost or kidnapped? It's not like I can ask my kidnappers "can I use your phone?"

And another thing, I take it to places further away than school and you're OK with it.

I'd love to see her awnser to "what's the point of having a phone if I can't call no one?" (apart from playing games and visiting pkmn.net) what is your stupid excuse for me not taking it?

Pathetic parent! >:(

 I've got to type up a new CV tomorrow. I keep forgetting that I have my maths GCSE now so I'm stuck thinking "what's the point?" and by the time I realised, the job has passed.

 People complain about their teachers failing them all the time but mine didn't teach the class the last part of the module or the subject plan? Either way, she didn't teach us the last bit and told us to use "common sense".

 Actually checked the vacancies and I was lied to. None of them are basic and all of them are full-time lol.

 The clocks have gone forward and I can't get used to it so now I'm going to sleep and waking up at weird times. Like it's 3 now but it'll usually be 2.

 Slowly going through the process of obtaining a suit too. Going for the trousers and the shoes first after following the advice from the jobs topic since I can get a shirt closer to any interview because I'm still trying to diet and lose weight.

 Wanted to go tomorrow/today actually (it's past 12am) but my friend flaked out on me. Would go shopping by myself but it feels weird unless I'm picking up food. I must look weird going into Morrisons and holding all my groceries in my hands but it'll only be one or two things.

 I'll probably check online. I don't mind putting more money into something that can potentially get me more money.

 This mock interview thing is important for my employability award and I'm fairly certain that I'm getting close to hitting the 42 hour mark with my volunteering so I've just got to document everything and be like "ey b0ss gimme a mock" and then awkwardly sit through an interview for a job that doesn't exist.

 Also, Tinder is really boring? It comes up a lot on the threads that I lurk so I was like "yolo swaggins" and downloaded that bad boi in the hopes that I could get some sweet, sweet, bants going on but it's just really boring.

tinder is only fun if you want to try out a bunch of weird pick up lines on people in an environment where they're kind of asking for it. i only use it if i'm actively looking to meet guys for a short amount of time, although some people are looking for committed relationships. the best thing you can do is give yourself a funny profile. you can also swipe right on people who look like they're actually insane and talk to them and usually that's interesting...

That's the worst part before an op tbh. I didn't eat much the day before mine (I was hungover lol) and then once it was all over I was too sick to eat much anyway. I was adamant once I came round I wanted toast and tea but I ended up taking one bite and falling asleep lmao. I was to be there for 8am and got seen at 10am, which was bad enough.

thanks john and beth i really appreciate your kind words. i've been getting by with some of my friends here in florence and a few of my good friends have been really going above and beyond to look out for me. one of my friends here in florence's father suddenly died right before midterms and she came back to america for his service and then flew back to florence and completed them all so im really looking up to her atm. then a guy i haven't talked to since high school messaged me saying his grandmother just died and he just returned from her service so it's nice to have someone that is going through the same kinds of stages of loss you are.

 on a weird note about it one of my exes who was actually hella abusive messaged me saying, "hey, i know you still don't want to talk to me ever again..." and then talked about how kind my ex was and then said he hoped i was doing fine and when i said thanks he said, "sorry for your loss, you probably didn't appreciate seeing my name again, but i've been checking in on everyone that was close to him and i needed to make sure everyone is doing fine, i encourage you to do the same if you haven't already" just weird message to get but i think i still appreciated it...

but yeah today i've just been majorly peeved off. i actually almost kicked someone's dog because it was at perfect kicking height. probably not a good thing to admit on a website full of animal lovers but it's just taken everything inside of me to not attack someone or take my anger out on something. i just wish i had the gym here, it would help.

 None of the university links are working and I need to get about 20 more credits by the end of the term and find out when my exams are set but the website's like "lmao u dont need to no".

 29/48 and I've got 12 credits lined up for next week which will take me up to 41/48.

 I did two surveys for dem credz. The first one had me read a fantasy piece that was like Skyrim & LoTR but... it had all these funky names and stuff that was hard to follow because it was just generally... weird and not something I would read. It then started asking questions about my dreams and thoughts of dreams before smacking me with questions about the weird fantasy story that I didn't care about... I couldn't remember many of the details.

 The second one was about parenting and divorce and didn't really make much sense tbh. It wasn't very clear. It also wasn't properly configured so whether I'm getting my credits is anyone's guess.

 I'm getting shocked next week. Quite a lot. It's not fun in the slightest.

 That feeling when you fall out with a friend, get back with them, and find out that they've turned into a dick.

 She's one heck of a job snob and just gives me flak for being unemployed. It's annoying because I don't talk about people who didn't continue their education and I don't insult them and call them plebs or whatever but she's got this assumption that everyone who's unemployed is a scummy dole-rat who has no intention of working.

 It's really rubbing me the wrong way, to be honest because I don't pull her up on spelling mistakes or false beliefs (and there are a lot of them) but she'll give me flak for not having a job whenever she can.

 Like... I'm not dropping out of uni to work a 9 - 5 at B&Ms, you know? She expects me to abandon my education in order to work when I'm pursuing an education in the hopes of being able to have a much more fulfilling career as a counsellor. If a part time job becomes available then I'll jump on it, obviously.

 I'm ignoring her at the moment. She's becoming really toxic and it's frustrating when you click with someone so well and then they just turn into this.

See, I get called a snob just because I went to university. I've got no problem with people who didn't go to uni, because the world needs sparkies, chippies and so on and if they're working hard to pay the bills then fair play to them.

But because I worked hard in school, got the grades and took an opportunity to leave the town of no opportunity I grew up in and made a life for myself on the other side that makes me a snob or posh? But it's usually the pregnant-at-nineteen/dole dosser/I-didn't-bother-at-school lot that do such a thing.

im just gonna let this "yes i benefited from the luck of organisational nepotism" speak for itself, ok.






also try to remember tax avoidance by the rich is 7.3 times more expensive than benefit fraud (http://www.theweek.co.uk/62461/which-costs-more-benefit-fraud-or-tax-avoidance).

tl;dr, DWP overpaid benefits to some in 2013/14 by £4.6 billion but underpaid others by £1.6 billion. HMRC on the other hand (who let vodafone write off £57 million) said that they were missing around £34 billion and no-one is really making Efforts to chase it up at all cos Rich People and Customer Privacy etc.

some of those tax avoiders own and run newspapers like the Daily Express, the Sun, Daily Mail, etc. so you can understand why "benefit fraud!!!1!1!!" MAY be a bit of a crafty smokescreen. i mean if you want to continue bout it then thats fine and i'll just try to ignore it in future but just be aware of how you might be being played a little

 Might have actually got ditched at the end of an outing today and it's like... I was really looking forward to hanging with her and we end up going our separate ways without warning and it kinda dampened the outing because it felt like I was just dumped as an afterthought lmao.

 It really didn't help that these trial contact lenses aren't silky smooth so it's difficult to forget they're there and then they started dying on me so my eyes were irritated and I was rubbing my eyes to try and moisten them up but it just made me look upset.

 Gotta do this tomorrow again with someone else. Not wearing contacts. It's not worth the discomfort and people thinking that I'm crying when they start irritating me. It's almost as bad as pinching your actual eye whilst trying to take them out.

having a school housing meeting being called, this is the second time it's been cancelled with like an hour's heads up. really annoying, i just wanna go and get it over with. and it's probably for one of a few things:

1. the spat i had with my roommate trying to call me out for being mean to her over the laundry the other day. guess what! you're mean to the 3 of us all the time and both of them are gonna take my side in this
2. "smell" complaint... which is pretty easy to say "isn't us" since our apartment always just smells like whatever someone was just cooking.
3. noise complaint from when i got home from amsterdam and i was flipping my shiz because i didn't know Florence's water got turned off that night and i wanted to take a shower. but this was weeks ago so i doubt it

either way i just kinda wanna get it done and i'm upset they postponed it from 2 pm today to 10 am tomorrow because tuesday is usually my sleep in day of the week since i don't have class til 3 but the school wants to ruin that sacred day for me...

so turns out i might have pernicious anemia judging from my 'immeasurably' low amounts of Vitamin D and my very low vitamin b12. If it turns out to be anemia i'll be on tablets for the rest of my life.

I sound like a bit of a hypercondriac sort of deal by going back and forth with the doc like this tho and I feel a lil bad about it incase they think im lying, because im not. I just wanna stop feeling bad u know? but holy heeeeck it explains so much.

according to hospital records ive had these deficiencies since i had ecoli when i was like 18 months. so ive had this all my life and i dont think it'll be a diet issue as much as it is a vitamin issue itself, so i'll be taking nutrition things. i'll find out in about 7 or 8 days for sure, but the doctor is pretty certain i have it and they're just trying to figure out the 'why' and if its my instinicric factor or something

I have a voucher for Burger King (chicken royale and small chips for £1.99) I had £2, but I spent some of the money and I didn't realise till it was too late. So I had to go home (with a fear of being murdered) and I had to use some of my money to go to McDonald's instead.

there's just this weird attitude in europe i've noticed towards america where they think it's the 50s and everyone has a high standard of living and it's just absolutely not that way. like, my god, our republican frontrunner is literally insane and people rally behind him because they're desperate, it's not a paradise by any means

So I overthink things way too much. Fortunately when I overthink, the result is that the most mundane things happen. Like if someone's not replied back I'll be like "oh great they don't like me they don't want to see me uuuUGHH" but actually it's like "uh, they were kinda busy Rowan".

It sucks because the pride society groupp chat had a scare, because somebody went missing for a bit. I was already thinking the worst but now they're safe and well.

My lecturers are picking up on how little I'm writing and it's affecting my degree. Having friends/people who I care about/who care about me is making my grades suffer.

I've been taking my tablets but they make me feel very sleepy/dazed when I take them so if I'm at uni I need to wait until I get home, which by that time the pain is horrible.
Like I can usually sleep them off if it's not a bad one but I think on Thursday I woke up and still had one. I'm just constantly exhausted because of it and it isn't the best time to be like this tbh. I just want this to be over and go home

Hahahahaha this was only the tip of the iceberg with my travel woes. Just after Birmingham they decided to cancel the stop in Cheltenham and not tell the passengers so we went right through Cheltenham station and out towards Bristol. Had to get off in Bristol and buy a new ticket to get me back to Cheltenham which wasn't cheap (even with railcard). Finally got back into Cheltenham at 3pm instead of 12pm.

I left the house at 7:30am for this 😊😊😊😊😊

 Fairly certain that they've replaced an actor from EastEnders but he's only been gone for a year or two and the new actor looks about ten years older, noticeably taller, and looks completely different.

 The last time they did this ended up with the character being permanently hospitalised, probably because nobody liked the change lol.

I can attach a maximum of 10MB. It'd be so easy if i could attach a lot more! :(

Stupid email makes no sense! Why can I only attach 10MB???

Over the Internet a message will often pass through several mail transfer agents to reach the recipient. Each of these has to store the message before forwarding it on, and may therefore need to impose size limits. The result is that while large attachments may succeed internally within a company or organization, they are unreliable when sending across the Internet – and for that reason sending systems often arbitrarily limit the size their users are allowed to submit.

As an example, when Gmail service increased its limit to 25MB they said that "you may not be able to send larger attachments to contacts who use other email services with smaller attachment limits". In general, 10MB is considered safe for the maximum size of an email.

I get 15mb with work email and I've sent a 12mb file. Even to go across the other side of the room it took forever

One of my friends at school accidently broke a cupboard door. He was leaning on it (apparently he wasn't properly sitting on it or putting his full weight on it) the door came off it's hinges. The teacher saw it as (willful) vandalism (though he didn't do it intentionally) she then leaned on another cupboard door which didn't break to prove her point. And she was saying things like "you/he must have put his full weight on it" or "you/he put lots of pressure on it"

Our teacher is unfair!

Cyndaquil
Scyther/Heracross (whatever one i get first tbh)
Nidoran
Abra (probably? probably swapping out for another pokemon.)
Mareep (Later Raikou)

my first world problem is that i keep procrastinating coursework and i will pay for it later

I try to avoid getting Mareep these days purely because I always grab one.
yeah i keep grabbing mareep but dumping them before they hit ampharos stage - im gonna at least get an ampharos and then switch her out for raikou if possible this time.

i ended up with this team:
Quilava
Nidorino
Flaafy
Scyther (so much pain to breed an adamant technican, but worth it)
Murkrow (actually had two naughty ones, but the stats on the quirky one were better by far so i went for that one)
Gyarados (Not the shiny one 'cause im just not a fan of it - i already have two!)

All of them (bar mareep which ive explained) are pokemon i haven't really given chances before, as i usually go for chikhorita

I don't kill bugs either, mainly since i'm too busy running away from them like a scared little wuss. I wish wasps would drop off the earth. Bees I can deal with because they're vital to the world, but I don't see wasps providing anything but pain and fear.

without wasps we would be overrun with insect pests. and bees, and all of that stuff, and we'd be even more hecked up than we are already. great googly moogly, the only bugs i can stand are the ones in pokemon. at least i can burn them with my fire pokemon or use scyther for the forces of good blah de blah

 I've bitten both sides of the back of my tongue. Must have been in my sleep but because I've had a molar removed on both sides - I'll never eat pork scratchings again - the force was on a single tooth rather than being spread across them all so now it just hurts.

 Then my Facebook newsfeed is like "HERE'S PICTURES OF ABUSED DOGS!" and it's like... what's the actual point in posting this crap? As someone with dogs, it's genuinely disturbing and upsetting to see this. It's always out of the blue too, so you'll be looking at some quality noots then there's a picture of a bloodied dog.

 Not being funny but what degenerate has these images saved in order to post them on Facebook in the first place?

You'd think so but not really.

One of them is based on transcriptions & the transcripts we're working on we're only given to us by the lecturer on Friday - so there's no way I could have done that earlier.

The other two are creative pieces so technically they should have been developing throughout the semester but I literally got my first idea for one of them last week (and I submitted that assignment last night go me) and the other one is still drawing up blanks. I've had the worst case of writer's block all term and I'd sit down to write and then three hours later still be looking at a blank page... Not a lot I can do about that.

But eh, one down two to go.

Yeah :-) one of them is a prose piece - which means a single short story or a selection of flash fiction and the other creative one we're allowed to do prose, poetry or dramatic writing (scripts and stuff). The only downside is you have to write an essay to go with them all that explains your stylistic choices and your creative process and it's so difficult to do!

Anyway, the weather here today has inspired a story!!! I currently have 700 out of 2000 words on my prose piece so I might actually finish my assignments on track? Who knows but it's looking up.

I'd put this in Everyday Accomplishments but I'm already posting here so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 We're not going out tomorrow since one of the girls is working and she would have been giving the other girl a lift so neither of them can come so that'll just leave me and one of the bros sitting there alone and he has recently got a girlfriend so he might have already turned hyper boring. She's lovely and really fun though so I doubt that either of them will turn boring.

It's less than three weeks until Leon moves home from uni. Which means less than three weeks of not being a long distance couple.

Maybe I'd feel okay about it if I'd known him longer, but it's been less than two months and I don't know how I'll deal with him not being able to come around whenever I need him to.

It sucks so bad because he's the only person I've ever known to feel the same way about me that I feel about them. We had a convo about this on Friday night (at Summer Ball, after drinks) and we both ended up crying. Like why does this have to happen like this??

Ever have moments when you have time to think of what you want to say, it seems good in your head, you say it and it's the exact opposite of what should've been said? Yeah, that's just what happened.

My sister is ranting about another situation and I try to lighten the mood. What I said seemed good until I was halfway through talking, then I realized it was horrible and it was too late to stop myself. Then I try to explain my way out of it, and that makes it even worse. After which my mom reminds me of the fact that same thing happened to me when I was younger and accused me of forgetting how she helped me and being ungrateful. Once again, my brain with no filter strikes again and decides to tell her that I can't forget because she won't let me forget. I had more but I was able to stop that.

So yeah, someone slide me some duct tape and help me with damage control.

 Tonight was amazing and I'm drunk.

 Being drunk has made me realise that I'm almost too stressed about these exams that require 45% to pass because I revise really hard and when it's a multi-choice question, the answer is often subtly given to you. I guess it's just that being the only person in my families to go to university comes with the pressure of absolutely nailing it and even though I work well under immense pressure it always buckles me once it has gone.

 I also tried vaping today. I'm disappointed in myself and it was minging but I tried smoking before (absolutely nailed it without coughing and choking etc) and wanted to try this before I knocked it. I did cough and choke on this though. Pretty weird since my technique was on point but it was like tweaked to be super strong since the guys smoke anyway.

 Idk I'm at that point where I'm just messaging old flings.

 Twenty is pretty good thoughhh. You can still do all the edgy stuff but the edgy youngsters have to obey you because you'll be an edgy adult.

 Would recommend running around the block with your arms behind your back to get it out of your system before midnight though.

 Tomorrow's exam. 9:30 - 11:30. Feeling confident but failing this will failing any exams will auto fail the year iirc. Nerves.

 Uni has been constant stress this year. Having to catch multiple buses, having to deal with many people, and having to do everything on time. It burns me out. Having to wait the extra 15 - 30 minutes after missing my bus because some asshat decided to push onto the bus before me and buy their ticket with a £20 note is tiresome and happens most days.

 University has been a bit of a let down if I'm honest.

All because dream me saw my grade when I shouldn't have for some random project which was 91% (lol okay then) so I'm prob thinking of them subconsciously.

Edit: if someone could come and take my wisdom teeth out that would be great!

Mud, fog, snow, annoyingly long routes with multiple paths that take ages if you're trying to fight every trainer. It wasn't noticeable as a kid, but going to it from gen 6 everything just feels so clunky.

EDIT: No, but seriously, what sick monster thought up fog. Four turns into a battle and neither side has landed a single hit.

i will not hear this slander against gen iv, the gen where you got the free will and ability to pay 500 pokedollars to chuck endless clods of mud + splat noise in pokemons faces foreverially.



also the gen before "we have short attention spans from too much pokemon and now you can get Easy Exp Gainz real quick and then complain the game was too short" aka gen V. if they skip gen iv remakes ill be so mad cos all the gen III whiners got their remake in the end.

i feel bad because since i got back to america i can't find the motivation to message pat back

things just fizzled out i think but it would confuse him because everything was going great up until the night before the day i left. i just was getting tired of the fact that any sort of touching or kissing or anything i had to initiate, and one time i hung out with him for 4 or 5 hours and he didn't even touch me. i can understand being nervous about breaking the barrier, but i was the one who did that weeks ago and he straight up told me if i didn't he wouldn't have. i can understand being nervous about that stuff because i can be too but how can you still be nervous? i can't do something so one-sided. just don't understand how a guy can be so handsome but have 0 self confidence with girls?

it also doesn't help that i met a guy at a party to celebrate me returning home that was friends with my friend's brother and _/o\_ we talked and kissed a lot and i felt like we had more in common, but even then i still didn't like him enough to get his number in the morning.

(http://emojipedia-us.s3.amazonaws.com/cache/e1/d3/e1d3eaeeebf35732e722723f0751bed2.png)

just feels bad because pat didn't really do anything wrong, i just got home and things changed.

he also clearly wants a girlfriend and i don't think i can make it clear enough to him i don't want a boyfriend, my last 2 relationships were absolute disasters, i don't even want to start.

Wow I never realised how negative a good chunk of my class were about our course! It's not the greatest but it doesn't warrant one of you throwing a tantrum on the group chat like a 3 year old. Basically for the past year a  few of them have been whining about not getting proper feedback. Yesterday one of our lecturers sent  a good amount, breaking down each section with advice/crit and stuff to look up. One of the guys was raging cause his group got bad feedback and they couldn't understand it lmao. I noticed we never got our grade but obv said guy sent off an email to the other lecturer who politely said we would get an 'indicative' grade by tomorrow. Cue him whining again and not understanding what indicative means 🙄

Idk maybe I'm just used to it because of how awful my last course was in general?  Personally I've not found it that bad, a few little niggles but nothing that's made me foam at the mouth with rage. I guess I'm not that much of a pessimist as I thought lol

That was a good game but then Bungie let Activision peg them with micro-transactions and many players were locked out of the game because of a £40 paywall which led to Bungie emailing people to ask why they don't play anymore lmao.

Oh boy do I have a few right now.

For starters, my brother is stuck with a group of "friends" in a class. He does all of his work or his part of a project and they feel as if they're entitled to him doing all of the work, which is what usually happens. They make rude and unneeded comments constantly behind his back as they play on their phones and act as if they do all of the work, even though it's usually him while they are on their phones. Also, they constantly make him mad in front of the whole class and get the class to go after him because they think it's hilarious. However, he's not allowed to defend himself due to the fact that they threaten to report him if he does anything, then quickly after say "learn to take a joke lol". The teacher knows it's happening but can't do anything because she has no clue what to do. It's gotten so bad that one of our friends just got into it with the ringleader of it who seem to think she's god and won't even listen to reason, especially since her argument is completely flawed. I never liked any of them in the first place, but frankly all of them are complete idiots and are lucky it's not me because I don't give a rat's ass about most people in class, i'll work alone if I want to and I will only help you if I feel you actually need it. My brother is stuck in limbo and there's nothing he can do.

Secondly, I had a huge headache coupled with nausea yesterday and it's just now going away. It was so bad that it was tempting to put one of the freshman through the wall of the study hall room that I was in for my last class.

Finally I couldn't access the site Thursday because my internet provider didn't recognize the site for some reason.

So I am going to ruin someone's day tomorrow :^) Messaged them on Sunday night because I was literally *this* close to giving up on pretty much everything and I needed someone to talk to so badly. I get to see them at lunch tomorrow at college. I just hope they're not expecting a good thing, because boy they will be disappointed if they are expecting something good.

Also approx. two weeks behind on BTEC assignments, I need to edit, send out questionnaires, get 15 responses, and write a report and analyse my responses in ooh...less than 3 days.

Interactive media class is giving me difficulties, because basically only 3 people in that class don't give me the cold shoulder / laugh and point behind my back (yes I am wearing a hairbow but no you do not then have the right to point and laugh, 'cause "boy with hairbow" is not accurate enough. and forget your gender stereotypes too). I raised this concern that people were giving me reasons to be concerned--and I kinda got worried they're figuring out I'm not exactly the Straighty McCis they assumed me to be and that's why it feels uneasy in that class? Teacher knew my concern, didn't talk with me on Friday about it despite me being informed on Thursday by tutor that they would talk to me about it. I doubt that's because of what I've got worried about but yeah.

tl;dr class being funny about me, I'm trying to find reassurances that it's all good / find out why that's the case anyways.

 All the summer newbies in the gym are annoying.

 Oh, I also haven't done much revision because of that headache and my exam is on Friday :yeswink: Gonna have to change up my revision since I might not be able to do it all in time at my current rate. It was probably just fatigue tbh. Gonna take things slowly and knock out this revision.

 Came home from the exam then crashed at around two before waking up at about 5 after I asked if someone would give me a shout after an hour so now I can't sleep. I should have set an alarm but I was just thinking about sleep and I forget that I have it.

 Also kinda gutted that I missed that Darkrai event by a day. It's okay since I've already got a Darkrai from Diamond - if I remember correctly - but I don't know how I'm going to get him from X to AS since I'm out of the loop completely.

 Even though I haven't got any more exams I just had a whole bunch of anxiety out of the blue.

You'll need at least another DS to do so so you can get it to Unova, then you have to use the pokemon bank (which is $5 a year in us money) to get it to gen 6. Hope this was of help.

 Oh! Wasn't that the thing that gave out Celebi? It makes sense for Nintendo to open a service like that after all this time. Thanks.

 

 Had a nap earlier and had nothing but nightmares. I think there was a lucid dream? I can never get all the magic stuff to happen so I just get full reign over where I go and I just explore. Oddly enough, it felt as if I was in control of the nightmares since the setting kept changing once I had enough.

 Nightmares aren't fun.

they were going to film a season of the Spike TV show Cops in the same city i go to school in but the police chief did a 180 and decided not to allow the film crew to do ride alongs

i can see why... being the city with the most junkies in a state where heroin use is almost doubling by the year, it probably would be some bad PR for the city. and the state in general because that's our only sizable city...

just over 450 pokemon in my pokedex on omega ruby for seen and caught. 156/184 for hoenn and 428/456 for national.

the reason why this is a problem? most of the pokemon i dont have are pokemon i have to evolve or breed to get the babies of.
oh and because the catch rate is slowing down.

that aside i only just got 3/4 of them registered today because i only just got the national dex today.

 Fallout 4 updated out of the blue today and the update has either locked the DLC that I have or it was uninstalled because I can't play my main saves and, as a result, I'm pretty miffed since I made some progress and was going to make an arena so I can kill any settlers that I don't like.

 I'm also trying to get loads of trainer #s for the lottery in Alpha Sapphire and the wonder trade is the easiest way. Gutted that I didn't get it on release because I would be swimming in legendaries rn since I started trading my rares off  for Mewtwos in X and I've got about 7 as a result. Might be 5 or 6 since I traded them for legendaries that I didn't have.

 Anyway, yeah. I'm trying to get my 7th badge and nobody in my team can reliably ruin psychic types.

Everyone's nagging me about spending so much time on my netbook (with you lovely lot) and that I sit around the house all day. I'm sorry, but it's not like I can really do much else entertainment-wise because pretty much everything else is usually occupied by someone else and they complain when I ask for a turn. Plus I do more around the house than my brother and sister do the majority of the time, yet I catch hell regardless. And people wonder why I like to keep myself isolated.

 Tonight sucked and my computer's acting out so we've all got little yellow nuggets under our names.

 This "The Devil Inside" is awful and even though it's my kind of horror it just feels like an edgier version of The Exorcist and I haven't even seen that film.
 
 I have this friend and she's adorable and makes me happy - we're actually friends, this isn't /adv/ or /r9k/ -  and part of me is actually afraid of losing her which would be totally ridiculous is it wasn't for the fact that we fell out and didn't talk for about a year or two. It's just one of those things tbh, I've never really felt this way about the guys either which is odd since we've all been friends for longer.

I went for more travel vacs yesterday and the nurse gave me three - Hepatits B (first dose), Rabies (first dose), and Meningitis.

Anyway, I'm feeling severe side effects from all of them, cos the nurse gave me a list of what it's possible to get, and it's probably because of all the chemicals I'm loaded up with. I've got a headache, high temperature, fever and hot & cold sweats, nausea and sore eyes. Along with the painful arms as well.

I'm dying, this all started coming on at about 10pm last night (I had the vacs at 11am) and by 12 I was essentially bed ridden.

This is horrible because I'm meant to be going street collecting later and now I probably won't. There is also no one here to sympathise with me and give me cuddles because all my flat have gone home.

Pity me pls.

 Pricing everything up and if I wanted to see my mate up in Newcastle it'll be anywhere around £200 to get there and back and that doesn't include getting a room.

 Lowkey, For Honour was one of the few games that I was really getting hyped for then in this E3 video it's a Ubisoft game - which is a giant red flag - and there are loads of things in the Alpha footage that look bad too but it's Alpha footage so there's hope. Not going to touch it because it's Ubisoft tbh.

 This new song by CHVRCHES just sounds like one of their other songs so... that's a shame.

 That Resident Evil demo was a little disappointing too since it's only scary/tense for the final minute of the demo. It's just a visually appealing demo tbh.

sorry to hear about that poison! i'm sure things will heal a little every day (well, starting at a certain point depending on how you cope with death individually) but death is so emotionally painful, i feel you. just remember feeling a mix on emotions including uncontrollable anger is totally normal and part of the process.

today some guy i met off of tinder twice back in january who i ditched before i went to italy literally deleted a friend request he sent me 2 weeks ago to friend request me again

weird part: i never told him my last name, he's from several towns away, and we have no mutual friends. somehow he searched through all of the lizs on facebook to find me. so then after he found me he sent me a request and i let it sit in my friend request box... when he didn't get a response he just deleted it and then tried again? this is after i didn't speak to him for months given i was in another country. it's been SIX MONTHS dude you can find a new girl to try to put up with you i believe in you

Not so much worried about leaving. I'm voting to stay in but I'll just have to live with it if we do leave. It's more the problem with the fact people are "I'm voting out too many foreigners herp derp" and people are using that as their sole reason to vote out. They will be the first to complain when they realise that not all the foreigners will be sent home and that people will still be able to enter the country.

<<<<<incoming rant alert>>>>>

only reasons to vote leave is either a) ur a rich rich RICH business owner/tory who wants to take advantage of the weaker £ if we leave b) a tory who is annoyed by all the pesky legislature preventing us from doing nasty things to people we dont like or c) a racist who is all about "the immigants" and "me pension!!!!"*


*esp. since ur more likely to lose ur pension thanks to Rich Bankers doin dumb hi-risk financial stuff w/ it. (i.e. the upcoming tech bubble crash, when it finally happens. u heard it here second.)


the polls claim its neck n neck but honestly the polls said we wouldn't have a tory majority govt and here we are. the scenario i want is to vote Remain

but whats probably gonna happen is that we're gonna have voter turnout at record numbers to be overwhelmingly racist and vote leave by like 9999999% knowing how this country tends to be. people on the news this morning going "i'll make up me mind when im in the votin booth i think" and its like. christ on a bike. this is serious you idiots aaaaaaa if it were an X Factor Finalist they hated it'd be a totally diff story.





if we do end up votin leave tho im looking forward to racist holidaymakers getting a nasty shock when they try to use the Free Movement across the EU.

in extremely rich voice: "what do you mean i have to have a visa to remain in my expensive spanish villa?????? now i wont be able to afford my 5th yacht this year. who did this"
everyone else: "you literally voted for this"

Because we've got people stuck in the 18th Century and think we're still a global superpower. A lot of people have been talking about "taking our country back" and how "we're being dictated to" when in fact only 15% of our laws were made in the EU.

got stood up but a guy last night. did my make up and everything, fresh shower, refused plans, and when i asked if he would be all set in 45 minutes i got no response. i waited for an hour and didn't get anything. guy seemed like he was really into me, we've been more or less seeing each other for a couple weeks, and we were just texting the day before, but i guess i inferred this situation wrong. he didn't apologize in the morning, almost 6pm no apology, i stopped expecting one about 4 hours ago though.

i am hoping he either a. apologizes so i can ignore him / tell him to frig off (i'll know what i want if i get the message) or b. doesn't apologize but later hits me up for some unrelated reason and i can act like i don't think its him because i've already overreacted and taken him out of my phone and deleted all of his messages

Seriously, do some of your own research and make your own informed decisions rather than letting "herp derp immigration" "durrrrrrr EU dictatorship" decide when it's now been revealed the Brexit lot deliberately misled you.

The sheer amount of bigoted, racist and xenophobic behaviour that has been brought out as a result of Brexit. Heard a bloke shout out to an Asian family "We voted out, go home!"

This is not the Britain I grew up in. This is not the Britain I know or the Britain I love. I want my country back- The tolerant, welcoming, multicultural Britain where everyone was somebody and everybody was welcome. All this is very 1930s Germany and it's not just worrying that we haven't learned (as it was our grandfathers who fought against this very thing among others including blind nationalism), it's EMBARRASSING.

sometimes i like to fantasize about how much better my life would be if i didn't have these disgusting sweaty hands. i wish i grew up not being afraid to hold hands, or shake hands, high fiving, anything involving touching other's skin. my hands are always blushed and i can't even count the amount of times i've had to sit and listen to people talk about how someone is disgustingly sweaty and i think about how that person is just like me and everyone thinks its okay to make fun of them... i've just gotten really good at hiding it after dealing with it every day after i was 7 years old. all of the medication that works really well to eliminate it is generally really painful, too. i use this lotion and it makes it so sweat isn't really forming, but my hands still get really clammy. sometimes i wish i'd wake up and be normal and only sweat when i'm hot or nervous or exercising, but then i come to the realization i won't have total relief from this condition until i die.

like i have a date tonight and im terrified he's going to try to touch my hands because i hate watching disgust form on the faces on people who touch my hands, especially when everything was going so great before :(

at least when i drink a beer or two i stop sweating...

 That feeling when Chris Evans makes fun of the original Top Gear presenters but steps down after a few episodes because nobody likes him.

 
 Feels like drama between two friends has had an impact on my friendship with one of them even though I wasn't involved and just so happened to be there at the time. Kinda annoying because he kissed her and now she's being all distant with me as if I instigated the entire thing for some weird /r9k/-esque fetish thing but I dunno, it's just annoying because she was cool and we had similar niche interests.

My brother and sister are playing the same crappy song over and over again and won't turn it off. I mean it was good the first time but seriously, it's pretty stupid. Finally when I confronted my brother about it, he said it's because he thinks my music in the car sucks (which I usually only play when I have the front seat, and everyone on the music topics know my taste). So I went out into the car, got my CD's out and dropped him on the floor in front of him and walked off.

as someone who's gone to london if you're desperate but don't want to take the train cause it's expensive as all hell, try a coach service like national express. both times i went down at midnight and returned at around 4 in the afternoon - tiring but very fun!

I don't know about megabus times, but the best one back by national express is the 7pm coach, which gets in at about half 11, so not toooooo late. I usually book national express when I go home and if you book far enough in advance you can get a return for like a tenner or so, eeeasy =]

Dude is a psych who has done a lot of wholesome research into the bipolar spectrum end of things and he has some p interestin Factoids. seems amongst other things that Mood Swing disorder stuff is partly a malfunction of the Body Clock. i.e. for some, gettin blueblocker lenses will stop a partic painful hypomanic in its tracks (it does me anyway if its sundown and i still aint stopped) and with Disciplined Use is the best you can have to an actually practical version of the surprisingly effective (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1399-5618.2004.00166.x/abstract) Dark Therapy for particularly meds-resistant bipolar. 

its got a cool name and is literally the opposite of Light Therapy. basically being in Complete Darkness from 6pm to 8am and an attempt to Force the body clock (a bit broken/dysfunctional in affective disorder folks) to behave a bit, but impractical. hence the magickal orange lenses (i can dig up the Reccommended ones cos they have to Actually Block blue light on a spectrum absorption thing)


ASD and ASD accessories (bipolar, hypermobility, dysautonomia, uh..."having accidents", adhd/add, speech impediments, SPD, hyperlexia, the three dys-'s, etc etc. all these pop up with some of the others for some reason) is a partic Scientific Area Interest of mine for Obvious Vested Interests. you can probably tell.

Dude is a psych who has done a lot of wholesome research into the bipolar spectrum end of things and he has some p interestin Factoids. seems amongst other things that Mood Swing disorder stuff is partly a malfunction of the Body Clock. i.e. for some, gettin blueblocker lenses will stop a partic painful hypomanic in its tracks (it does me anyway if its sundown and i still aint stopped) and with Disciplined Use is the best you can have to an actually practical version of the surprisingly effective (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1399-5618.2004.00166.x/abstract) Dark Therapy for particularly meds-resistant bipolar. 

its got a cool name and is literally the opposite of Light Therapy. basically being in Complete Darkness from 6pm to 8am and an attempt to Force the body clock (a bit broken/dysfunctional in affective disorder folks) to behave a bit, but impractical. hence the magickal orange lenses (i can dig up the Reccommended ones cos they have to Actually Block blue light on a spectrum absorption thing)


ASD and ASD accessories (bipolar, hypermobility, dysautonomia, uh..."having accidents", adhd/add, speech impediments, SPD, hyperlexia, the three dys-'s, etc etc. all these pop up with some of the others for some reason) is a partic Scientific Area Interest of mine for Obvious Vested Interests. you can probably tell.



also im spitballin here but outta curiosity im gonna guess your sleep schedule is "?????????????" and you also hate bright light too and it tends to make you feel a bit Racy/Speeded? im probably wrong but im just Collecting Anecdotal Evidence for some personal theories rly.


anyway this was my Mental Health carepost thanks for reading



edit: aww crung i was meant to be writin a Dyspraxia Diorama also to someone on here. i will be on that soon too i promise //prostrative bowing// bit of a hectic week this week

i love u and you are correct in that my sleep schedule is like ??????.

Spoiler: mind stuff • show
its better now than it used to be - id wake up at 3 am, go back to sleep like 2 hours later (not on purpose), and then not feel rested at all. now i ususally tend to fall asleep at a unknown time between 11pm and 12am and wake up at god knows when. and u are right on the light too. my eyes are light sensitive (is the word photophobic? idk. im not scared of the light it just hurts my eyes if i get too much in general. thanks sensory)

i had a check of the site and it's not atcually loading today but my brain was like pfffrtrrhrt. i'll give it more looks later, its just a bit fried atm in general. i suppose :L. if lenses are like contacts (taking it literally here) i suppose thats unfortunately out, though - i cant stand anything in my eyes, its scary. and huh - i already have dyspraxia (diagnosed) as well as autism, and i knew the two were related to some degree. its interesting to see how other stuff's comorbid like that though. maybe not the best thing to experience, but... interesting to read about


also i'd be 100% interested in learning about that dyspraxia thingie ur doing and if you need any experiences from me or whatever id be glad to try and help considering ive got it too

Got charged $2 to withdraw money from an atm. Call me stupid (plus this was my first time ever doing this) but why would you be charged to withdraw your own money?

I don't know how it works in the states but generally over here an atm will only charge if you're in a high traffic area/only atm around like in an airport or train station. When I was over pretty much all of them charged $2-3 because I was using a foreign bank card, got charged $6 in one of the casinos, ouch.
Try using an atm by your bank that provides the card to take some money out? Generally if you have a card from that bank they won't charge.
Title: Re: first world problems

^Issue with that is my workplace issued me a card as I didn't have a specific account needed for direct deposit.

My glasses fell apart again so I have to tape them back together. Also cut myself with the steel wool at work again, but we got out 20 minutes early, despite me working a lot slower because I was probably hypoglycemic.

I think I'm on the cusp of getting mega depressed for a couple weeks, just in time for school to start

Idk I had kind of just been hoping that everyone was wrong about my seasonal affective disorder because i've been pretty happy for the past 7 months but now I feel awful... Like honestly I don't even sound like I have SAD. I feel like I just get depressed at totally random intervals. But 7 months was like, my record, so that just makes all of this feel way worse

:|

I don't know, hopefully I'm just in a funk and it's because of other stuff in my life. 40 hour a week job stress, not having enough time to socialize with my friends like i wanna, and as an icing on the cake this ldr I started in Italy is waning really hard and I'm having trouble accepting it. I don't know what I expected to happen in the first place. I always knew ldrs were a bad idea.

I've been feeling like crap for the last week or so. Just a constant blah. I don't even know why, it's just awful. I have no energy but I'm so bored. All I can do is sleep. Too bad my sleep's been plagued by nightmares for the last while. I'm starting to wonder if it's the Darkrai plush I bought the other day asking me to take it out of the plastic bag it came in, haha. It's free now, so let's see what happens.

Then there's that fact that I'm worried sick about my friend who's going into surgery sometime. It was supposed to be yesterday, but it got canceled so we don't know when it's gonna happen. It's not an emergency, but still, I'm worried.

Glad to see i'm not the only one in a funk recently. We can all suffer together I guess.

Just found out one of my friends is having a hard go of it and I feel horrible for him, but there's nothing I can do about it.

My anxiety hit rock bottom earlier today and now i'm just tired and hollow, better than feeling like I want to cry and then run through a wall shortly after.

I was playing medal of honour airborne on the xbox, and the only gun I can hit anyone with is a rifle with one of those things you look through.

I have three guns: a rapid firing gun, a handgun (probably a colt 45) and that rifle. I literally (even with the rapid firing) could not hit anything! Once I found out how to get a better aim, I could hit people! But I could only hit with the rifle looking through the aiming thing. I killed lots of people and didn't die, but they make it look so easy!

I make a very good sniper! But unless they have that gun, and a LOT of ammo, I'm going to suck if I join the army!

I know I shouldn't have felt bad, but i'm that "good soldier" type of person who instead of complaining, I just shut my mouth, put my head down and fight through it for the good of the team. That's mainly why I felt bad. I think i'm doing a lot better now, because i've started to fight the anxiety back through many methods.

fake edit: this was meant to be the Shorter Version and it still ended up bigger than i wanted it uygghghgjfgkjfdhjdfjkhgfhjfkjfhd. also anyone who feels that info re: spergbrains and bad sleep cycles and is willing to experiment with £10-20 goggles is welcome to read all this junk too.

stuff bout the brokebrains. i had to edit it out cos i went over 10k characters



ok this is way late and way overdue cos to cut a long story short i have to stay Afloat without the help of mental health services/'tism services cos they're useless in this area (mostly cos no funding, its grim up naarth) so i do apologise that i went "i got one weirde tip!!!!" and then disappeared for a bit. i am still Learning myself so this'll be a bit patchy n handwavy but yeh! here comes all i currently know re: light exposure/errant sleep cycles in the autism braine

beths amateurish therapy info re: errant light exposure - aka the main relevant bits you'll prolly want to begin with from that website

so, 1st, a small brief neurology/ophthalmology lesson

disclaimer: i am not a doctor or a psychiatrist, i am but a lowly idiot who has to research all this stuff themselves cos otherwise i'd be either dead or in the nuthouse, consult ur doctor or therapist, blabalablabal all that stuff that people have to type to be Responsibly Reccomending info.

anyway! some science stuff folded up into a spoiler tag for Readability purposes

Spoiler: the science bit • show

a) blue light good in the morning but bad in the evening

at the back of your eye there is, well, science is still figuring it out but, but when blue light hits the back of your eye, (think a sunny day with a blue sky, or any full spectrum light really, which is why clear days are so refreshing), there is a narrow spread of blue light in the visible light spectrum that literally stops melatonin production dead in its tracks.

melatonin is p much The Chemical for sleep, you can read up about it if you want but its a hormone in ur body thats rly important for functional sleep stuff. in sleep screwed individuals like us this isn't working properly, as you know. i wont go into Details too much, but ideally you want to be getting melatonin made during the nighttime, and destroying it with light exposure during the daytime. (its why some people have blue LED lights for S.A.D. stuff, the longer mornings and less light in winter mean melatonin hangs round more going "time for bed! time for no energy!" when you're meant to be up.)

short version is, blue light is Murder for a sleep cycle if you see it at the wrong time, and you can bet both your monitor (unless you install f.lux but even then it'll still be a bit glarey) and phone are chuckin out loads of melatonin-killing blue light right up until bedtime. this is Why theyre always moaning about Lookin At Screens bein bad for your sleep.

basically, your mobile phone screen at the wrong time at night will not do good for ur melatonin production AND it'll also begin the neurochemical/genetic process for your body clock to get going (a lot more complicated but i'd have to get into CLOCK/BMAL1 gene stuff) 

b) the dangers of too much light

ok so as well as the blue light/melatonin thing (actually its melanopsin also if you want to look stuff up about that but still) there is also a minor Annoying way the eyes/brain interact if you are a bit Light Sensitive.

(http://i.imgur.com/3UfTVqG.jpg)

this diagram explains it not so well but essentially there is a part in your brain called the Suprichiasmatic Nucleus which governs a lot of processes regarding body clock stuff. your optic nerve crossover also happens to be VEEERRRYYYY close to this region (you can see the crossover is next to that white blob). i sadly do not know enough about this to sound any more authoriative here other than handwavy stuff about Electrical Field Interference but essentially havin these two close together is Bad News if you are light sensitive. 

Especially since, a neurochemical called GABA usually functions as a "calm down" chemical for nerve impluses, but, you guessed it, in ASD/bipolar individuals the particular Machinery for making GABA isn't working p well and you got less of it rolling around. which also partly is a small explanation for the overstimulation, sensory disorders, anxiety etc. etc. cos you got less GABA avaliable to calm it all down. its the receptors that benzos act on and there is (still aint got the hang of it) a way of making what they call GABA rice which is brown rice soaked in warmish water to the point where its about to germinate and the levels of GABA in the rice grain go up. Relaxing Rice, basically.  i saw about it in a dietary/autism lecture on vimeo haha

but yeh, the basic gist here is Too Much Light will overstimulate it, and w lesser amounnts of GABA rolling around you will have a trouble calming it down. this aint The Definitive Link but its a v handwavy sorta explanation for why Too Much Light will make you Act Out



so! you can look it up but a thing called Dark Therapy, where you are in darkness from 8pm to about 8am, and thus kinda putting Training Wheels on the circadian, has shown massive promise for helping bipolar individuals (one guy managed to go meds free after some p bad fast cycling/manic stuff). except being in darkness from 8pm to the morning is nowhere near Practical for you or me in this Internet Information age.

this is where the blue blocker goggles step in. (credit to the psycheducation dude here) if you are like me and you wear glasses, you will need the UVEX S0360X (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Uvex-S0360X-Ultra-spec-SCT-Orange-Anti-Fog/dp/B003OBZ64M), which go over your current glasses. if you dont wear glasses then you can get away with the UVEX S1933X (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Uvex-S1933X-Eyewear-Sct-Orange-Anti-Fog/dp/B000USRG90) blue blockers, but basically either one of these is gonna be ur Budget Solution to buying a £50+ fancy pair of blue blocker Designer Glasses right now, the cheapo ones dont filter as well and aren't wraparound lenses. these ones are technically Specialty Safety Specs for laboratories so you know that you are at least gettin a Good Product

you'll know they're working cos all blue LEDs on monitors/3ds's etc will be invisible and all blue coloured things will look black. this is the Magick and is techically (w.r.t. the melatonin/light exposure stuff) the closest you can get to Virtual Darkness for your brain. to your brain you're still doin stuff and up and about but to the Light Sensitive bit of your brain it's Low Light and all the melatonin/circadian stuff is allowed to start happening.

 its a rly elegant n practical solution innit?????? i totally live for this kinda stuff, its why i wanna become an occupational/tism/mental health therapist tbh

you'll have to experiment to find out what works best for you personally, but treat these as Calm Down Goggles for the most part.

Spoiler: beths tippes bout the goggles • show
mine took a few weeks cos they were coming from america but when they arrive try sticking them on (you'll notice everything feels a bit "Easier" on the eyes when they're on) and see how you feel. a bit calmer maybe??? its weird 

they also will (in my case, anyway) do very well to arrest your more hyperactive moments. if you're gettin that kind of Painful Hyper and you can't stop, try putting them on and seeing what happens and keep them on for as long as you need. in my case my whole body just kinda goes phew and collapses in a tired relief and im just sorta zoned out while i got them on cos suddenly everything isn't glaring n acidic light. 

ymmv, but the thing that works for me is having them on every night from 8pm onwards until bedtime. have them on for less if you feel a bit too "drugged out" the next morning but experiment and see what works.

regularity is the key here cos you're Training Pants'ing the broken cycle that should be doin the melatonin at the right times itself. if you do it one night then not the next two nights and then one more night and then three off you may go into a bit of a fast cycling episode (i do anyway) cos the circadian freaks out when you make Weird Changes to it.

i set up a Goggles Alarm which im allowed to defer to 9pm and no sooner after, and after that its my own Dang Fault if i mess it up. you might want to look into blackout curtains/blinds so you dont get woke up too early during summer when the sun rises at 4am? summer is murder for my light senstivie ass.

also but if you have someone Handy with sewing in your house they can rig up something with blackout fabric and your existing curtains/blinds.


but yeh!

get yourself a pair of either of these glasses, try them on when ur hyper/bad sleep cycle, and see what happens! hope it helps at least and was comprehensible and not too Bad Typing haha. best of luck //big hugs//

fake edit: aw crap the dyspraxia thing. its actually "what i know so far" re dyspraxia but i can carbon copy it for you when i finally write it up if u want??? will have to take a Info Typing break for a while after collating and typing this all out 4 now

 They only suggested to kill off one of the characters, man. It happens in a lot of stories and sometimes the main character themselves will die. Granted, it might have been a darker and more mature suggestion than what you were looking for but it was a reasonable suggestion. Nobody has anything against anything you make ffamalamma.

 So the lads spent the entire game intentionally bouncing the ball off the barriers that are there to prevent the ball from going into the gutter.

Because I don't have a remote, I can't get it off. The only way to get it off is to unplug the TV and plug it back in. Simple? Yeah, I wish! That plug is so damn hard to pull out, I got more and more pissed off. When I finally managed to pull it out and plug it back in, I continue playing, and two seconds later I get "disc is not readable"

 ^ Aye, I sorted it out close to the end of the first game. Bowling is pretty fun so getting the lower score isn't bad it's just playing against people who straight-up abuse the bumpers is a little frustrating. I'm currently trying to find someone else to bowl with me for practice though aha.


 I'm having to bail on a friend's party because it feels like I'm only there to be a wingman and make him seem cool to his weird friends.

The first assignment in mu college course is basically "tell us about your earliest childhood memories involving board games and video games." I hate thinking about my childhood. It mostly involves "I played alone because I was largely ignored by everyone and then my mom abandoned me." But the assignment has a 200 word minimum so I gotta go into more detail then that.

Having to watch your family go through the toughest time and being powerless against it is pretty awful.

Today Dad came home from work and while we were sat having dinner he told us that the only way to stop the family business from filing for bankruptcy is to lay my Mum off.

So you know, I've got one unemployed parent and one who may as well be unemployed because his own company can barely afford to pay him or any of the other people we employ and they might all be out of a job soon enough.

We have no money to live off for the forseeable future while last week we were living a perfectly comfortable life don't you love that unpredictable business market because I sure do

there are side effects from vaccinations - if you know specifically which jab you got, google the side effects and if they're listed as serious, you should go see a doctor. this should give you some info (http://www.webmd.com/vaccines/meningococcal-vaccine-for-adults#1). basically if the pain doesn't go away in two days or gets worse, get ur butt to a doc

 Another job application was denied so I've redone my entire CV. It's annoying because I doubt they even checked the CV since it was an online application but either way, my CV looks pretty tasty now.

 I'm off to grab some volunteer forms because I've lost mine and I'm fuming because I'll have to find somewhere where it isn't raining to sign these forms and there isn't anywhere like that :D

 I've applied for some course-related volunteer work though. Will probably join the uni Discovery thing once it starts up again too.

My anxiety is coming back and i'm running out of ways to fight it.

the two best things i found that worked were either hella weightliftings (which may not be feasible 4 u but if you got some Physical Sport to do then get in on that)

or takin a moment out to do deep breathing (influences vagus nerve impulses which stops higher processin brain bits like Anxiety from jumping in as easily and also rebalances blood overoxygenation from hyperventilation. no-one believes its as simple as slowin ur breathing down but sometimes it really is). if you feel Too Busy for a 10 min Breathing Sesh then chances are you deffo need to stop and do it.

Meds is just a crapshoot at the best of times (safest things are Buspar and Propanolol) and dont even get into the Hell of benzos, let me tell you now. CBT is good and there are online solutions but its unsuccessful with some people cos they dont quite get the Work involved and think its a magic therapy solution.

 

it will be tough but the only thing tellin u that ur about to die all the time is the anxiety itself, if you know what i mean. its like a naysayer troll constantly on ur shoulder and it really isn't as strong as you think it might be. it takes a while to really Get it (im 18+ish yrs and counting of Mental Trouble and the first half of that was mostly Denial so i know it aint easy) but best of luck!

well my dad knows and i didn't die but now i gotta live with everything orz

after crashin outta uni (i say crashing outta uni, a 2:2 is not really what i expected to get at all cos i wanted to go onto a phD and ended up only getting a BSc in a mainly MChem environment where everyone wants 2:1 on an MChem at minimum) and academically havin my ego take a sound thrashin i took some time to sulk n also have a mental breakdown

but also to go back to basics and refigure out what it was i actually wanted and not what i thought i wanted. turned out my specialties lied in Care and Autist/Mental Health Science stuff after a long cascade of weird stuff and i dread to think how unhappy id be in academia right now? turns out that My Uni Dream comin crashing down horribly was The Best (If Bittersweet) Thing To Happen Ever and in time to come maybe it will be the same for u.

it sucks right now but a) you got some time to think about what you want to do n to lick ur wounds b) you dont have to continue to do a degree you hate and possibly die of stress. also c) dont sulk for too long cos boy does that stage extend for 9999999999 years if you let it

also d) if you still want to do Game Stuff after all of this then when you're ready try to start small, learn a couple frameworks (GM/unity/ue4). maybe publish a game or two on itch.io. sadly a lot of game making is Boring Coding or Debugging or Tile Drawing.

its kind of a lie that you have to go to Game Making Uni cos let me tell you most graduates from Top Class Unis tend to be useless at the very basics in what they supposedly studied. just ask anyone in the Computer industry what freshly minted graduates are like and theyll probably go "uuUUUGGHHH". all oxbridge graduates ive ever known have either been massively infamous furry dramalords who leave poo stains on bathroom towels or huge depressive alcoholic drug addicts who never should have been pushed into the academic life in the first place

^ about the job thing like I had no job experience and didn't get my first job until I was 20 lmao. I volunteered at a charity shop once a week on a Saturday for like 3 months (then quit because I couldn't be bothered oops also creepy guys worked there but) but I had enough ~experience~ that I could talk about at an interview or on my cv. Two years later I'm working in the hell that is morrisons and have been trained on four different departments, soon to be five lol.
But yeah charity shops are always looking for people, I guess as well if you have little local independent shops where you stay then that's a good place to start!
Just take some time to relax and not be stressed about uni, I know it's easier said than done though.

I'm debating about learning to drive again?? I've found a lot of instructors here but the thought of city driving terrifies me lmao. Idk I would love to pass by Christmas but ideally before I graduate next year I guess. I have the money for it and luckily the theory's under my belt and passed so it would just be a case of the practical side of things. Even if I never had a car like it would be good to have for jobs and in the future? Then there's the whole 'should I go automatic' but then that's potentially 2 tests and ugh

Lidl own brand products taste terrible but it's all I can afford

morrison's own brand stuff is healthier and (to me) tends to taste better. its cheaper for me cuz of distance and such (short walk to the store in comparison to a 2 mile drive to asda or whatever, also i cant drive and buses give me Issues). if there's one near u, check it out

also its more work but it tends to be cheaper to make everything homemade, or as much as you can at least.

i had to live on pasta from the food bank for a few months* and thats one of the main things we get here yolo, so im assuming thats either cheaper in general or at least fairer to buy in bulk - plus it lasts a good while so if ur money troubles extend, at least you've got pasta!

IMO if that does end up the case and you can only afford pasta, don't be afraid to experiment with what you can get - dont forget to boil the pasta with a little pinch of salt (adds a lil flavor, idk how common place it is as a Thing but).

*my uncle, bless his heart, also donated us some food during the time. he liked to pretend he shoplifted everything. (he likes to pretend hes a criminal but actually hes a joker)

Ah no there isn't a morrisons in Cheltenham, the only supermarkets in walking distance are Tesco, Lidl and Iceland with the latter two being closest. Might try more pound land stuff though because that's all branded 🤔

Not sure where our closest food bank is but if worst comes to worst I'll find out.

Got plenty of pasta though what a life saver

so benzos.  yeah.  they work.  theyre also a class c restricted drug for a reason.  so like when youre anxious and u take a benzo it's a sedative and u calm right the heck down (or at least i do because i have like Actual Fits of Uncontrollable Crying and Shouting and Irrationality that cannot formally be diagnosed because im brainweird at the best of times so mine are short-acting) but theyre also habit-forming.


so like basically,, unless u have like a carer or u live with someone who u can trust to look after them for u and be like 'blaze no more 2day' it's best not 2 go on them esp. if ur in that particularly vulnerable state which u know, i assume u are right now.

the Creative sector is sadly going through the For Exposure (https://twitter.com/forexposure_txt) crisis and is also a place where you need to be super on top of the trends and v competitive, i shortly considered it before going into the Latin of STEM subjects (chemistry) and i could barely win a school fight despite being 6 ft something (gentle giant) so I Cant Reccommend it as a career choice entirely unless you are Aggresive.

additionally regardin career paths you should not try to make a career out of a hobby otherwise it will become a Job and you will end up hating it. ymmv but a lot of graphic artists get Super Depressed cos they get burnout and the one thing they did to chill out becomes a thing they loathe to get up to do every morning. some work it better than others and compartmentalise better but go into it being aware of that if you decide to do it

basically you need to be thinking "what could i bear to do for a bunch of hours a day to fund my hobbies" and that could be anything from being a trainee lab monkey to a data entry person. retail i.e. charity shop is a good start and it really gets you up to speed on the Functional Social Skills

you will have a Lot Of Trouble w/o job experience (unless you're holding out on some Connections here)  sadly and the best ways to get that are Interning and/or volunteering. charity shop volunteering (as inferna suggested, i can strongly concur w/ her post) is a VERY good way in. old arthritic ladies work in charity shops so they dont go barmy from lonliness so they will understand Aches n Pains n Awkwardness n needing to have a sitdown chair every so often and a lot of quick dashes to the loo.

double plus, in a charity shop you get first dibs on the stuff that comes in AND if you live in an affluent area you get like, lightly used designer stuff for a fraction of the price which will come in very useful in your Lesser Money days when the wardrobe needs repopulated. if you are a thiftlord sewer/knitter/spinner (its a cheap hobby if done right!) like me then charity shop backrooms are like a nirvana

i can never remember if in that huge post back where we talked about stuff like potty emergencies n knee braces etc if we talked about SpLDs but i managed to get diagnosed with a v handwavy "there is a SpLD but we dunno. your brain is broken in a weird way" in uni and ive been having to do the rest of the legwork myself (so far i know i have hyperlexia and something on the cyclothymic end of things and im p sure im ASD cos i even got the Trouble With Cows Milk and the Bad Skin and Misbehavin Guts n cluster stuff that is symptomatic of ASD genetics)

BUT all else being equal and IANAD etc etc there is the chance that you may be part of the Special Learning club. good news: you learn creatively n get there in a more fufilling n deeper way than others. bad news: its hard n tough and in my experience doctors dont deal too well with anything outside of Serious Impairment Cases and Childhood Diagnosed Severe Autism cos the system is massively broken!

there is little support for late diagnosed/hidden SpLD/ASD/ADHD/ADD etc. etc. (we need our own QUILTBAG word) folk and if you can get it you are lucky but you can slowly glean it from what is avaliable online and sorta gettin a bit Involved with special learnin community stuff/techniques/ur local library. volunterring for Special Needs Support is a thing you could try! (like i need Support myself but i will not get it in the Grim North for a good while but one thing that helps is helpin out someone worse than you down the chain of things. i think i blabbed on about my care job but i currently care for someone w progressive chronic MS who cant stand or walk by themselves and it Helps in a weird way)

 like i wouldn't have passed my degree if it weren't for Anki (http://ankisrs.net/) and i had to extrapolate from autistic kid support resources to be saved from multiple temper tantrums by my bitey Autism Chew Toys which i sewed shirt clips for  (http://67.media.tumblr.com/72d56dfd38c3b4e74f740b0e1aca90d9/tumblr_o8bj88SIId1udz1y1o1_500.jpg)  cos i was gettin sick of never havin them to hand when i needed them/droppin them on the floor

which meant i had to go downstairs and rewash them. youd think id have a thumbsucking habit but i have to wash my hands every time i want to do that and its like, my thumbs just taste all gross if i aint washed them beforehand. sigh.


anyway this was long and boring but thx for reading if you did! i hope u find Special Needs Enlightenment soon

yaaaaaaaaaaaaa hi fivin this post

benzos are a nice n quick fix but then you have the people whose Sham Money Loving Doctors have got them on whole grams of 4 benzos at once cos thats what the drug rep said to do and like the Opiod Lot (who start at 8/500 co-codamol and end up overdosing on a fentanyl patch in the shower) its a really slippery slope to go down unless you have competent carers/supervisors and its a Last Resort.

i have no idea what propanolol is like cos its a big //buzzer noise// for asthmatics. (;´д`)ゞ if u find yourself getting asthma then try to magically not get it

also Magnesium is surprisingly Effective as a bootleg benzo! make sure its the more readily absorbed forms like magnesium citrate as opposed to magnesium oxide and if you get diohhrea dioorrea diohhorea then dial it back a bit but its rly gr8 stuff if you dont wanna go the meds route cos it is a muscle relaxant and surprisingly effective for Restless Leg for some

like idk bout you but Stress really exacerbates the Joint Pain stuff so that may partly be why you went so far south????? like im literally in wrist braces in my graduation photo lmao
like... it seems to?? and it becomes an endless cycle of "i'm stressed cause i'm in pain. i'm in pain cause i'm stressed" garbage. recently i can't even like... remember a day without pain??? i can specifically remember the pain starting 8+ years ago now (nearly 9 yers. hooowee i'm old af) and it gradually becoming an every day thing. i still have """okay""" days where i'm walking like ur Average™ human being but i have a stupid waddle most of the time cause hips + knees are just awful awful children.

the Creative sector is sadly going through the For Exposure (https://twitter.com/forexposure_txt) crisis and is also a place where you need to be super on top of the trends and v competitive, i shortly considered it before going into the Latin of STEM subjects (chemistry) and i could barely win a school fight despite being 6 ft something (gentle giant) so I Cant Reccommend it as a career choice entirely unless you are Aggresive.

alas i am a smol fragile bean who would rather just doodle for fun that be competitive rip

nnnnnn here we go w/ replyin

Spoiler: show

you will have a Lot Of Trouble w/o job experience (unless you're holding out on some Connections here)  sadly and the best ways to get that are Interning and/or volunteering. charity shop volunteering (as inferna suggested, i can strongly concur w/ her post) is a VERY good way in. old arthritic ladies work in charity shops so they dont go barmy from lonliness so they will understand Aches n Pains n Awkwardness n needing to have a sitdown chair every so often and a lot of quick dashes to the loo.

-- i got absolutely 0 connections cause mum has no job and dad works at a school and the amount of hoops i'd have to jump thru to work at said school is just Not Worth it

double plus, in a charity shop you get first dibs on the stuff that comes in AND if you live in an affluent area you get like, lightly used designer stuff for a fraction of the price which will come in very useful in your Lesser Money days when the wardrobe needs repopulated. if you are a thiftlord sewer/knitter/spinner (its a cheap hobby if done right!) like me then charity shop backrooms are like a nirvana

-- idk if i'd count Chester as Affluent but it is nice. idk tho designer isn't my thing (i'm a jeans + t-shirts kind of gal). alas i will not be able to spend my negamoney anyway cause i need to activate my new card (which i still haven't done) and other things need paying for [dies]

i can never remember if in that huge post back where we talked about stuff like potty emergencies n knee braces etc if we talked about SpLDs but i managed to get diagnosed with a v handwavy "there is a SpLD but we dunno. your brain is broken in a weird way" in uni and ive been having to do the rest of the legwork myself (so far i know i have hyperlexia and something on the cyclothymic end of things and im p sure im ASD cos i even got the Trouble With Cows Milk and the Bad Skin and Misbehavin Guts n cluster stuff that is symptomatic of ASD genetics)

-- i think i might have maybe adhd??? i know it's seriously underdiagnosed in girls anyways so it's why it may have been looked over but most things literally Cannot hold my attention for more than 5 mins it is the worst. as for other brain garbage stuff i'm probably gonna bring it up w/ the doc again if the lack of codeine + pressure doesn't make it go away. i don't think having nothing to do it'll make it go away but i can hope right

BUT all else being equal and IANAD etc etc there is the chance that you may be part of the Special Learning club. good news: you learn creatively n get there in a more fufilling n deeper way than others. bad news: its hard n tough and in my experience doctors dont deal too well with anything outside of Serious Impairment Cases and Childhood Diagnosed Severe Autism cos the system is massively broken!

there is little support for late diagnosed/hidden SpLD/ASD/ADHD/ADD etc. etc. (we need our own QUILTBAG word) folk and if you can get it you are lucky but you can slowly glean it from what is avaliable online and sorta gettin a bit Involved with special learnin community stuff/techniques/ur local library. volunterring for Special Needs Support is a thing you could try! (like i need Support myself but i will not get it in the Grim North for a good while but one thing that helps is helpin out someone worse than you down the chain of things. i think i blabbed on about my care job but i currently care for someone w progressive chronic MS who cant stand or walk by themselves and it Helps in a weird way)

 like i wouldn't have passed my degree if it weren't for Anki (http://ankisrs.net/) and i had to extrapolate from autistic kid support resources to be saved from multiple temper tantrums by my bitey Autism Chew Toys which i sewed shirt clips for  (http://67.media.tumblr.com/72d56dfd38c3b4e74f740b0e1aca90d9/tumblr_o8bj88SIId1udz1y1o1_500.jpg)  cos i was gettin sick of never havin them to hand when i needed them/droppin them on the floor

which meant i had to go downstairs and rewash them. youd think id have a thumbsucking habit but i have to wash my hands every time i want to do that and its like, my thumbs just taste all gross if i aint washed them beforehand. sigh.


anyway this was long and boring but thx for reading if you did! i hope u find Special Needs Enlightenment soon


my mum did offhandedly mention a coupkle years ago that i could be on the spectrum cause i have a number of things (facial recognition is ???? most of the time for me. what are u feeling friend. i can't read) i was a super awk kid who preferred the company of adults until i was forced to socialise with my peers, obsessed w/ certain specifics (pokémon for one. i used to be able to name them from just descriptions and their number but now my brains gone to hell in a handbasket i can't... remember). i mean i wasn't behind in my development as a kid (i was ahead in everything except telling my parents what i need. i was one of Those kids who would just grunt when asked what was wrong. i was awful for telling them when my nappy needed changing or when i was tired. 0/10 worst child) but idk. my brain and body is just one big giant mess and i'm sitting looking at it thinking "how did i get here"

ya gal shrub can share her Wisdom w u again here, this time on adhd


so after everythin blew up in june i was diagnosed w adhd and because im a girl and im 17 my mum's immediate reaction was like 'wtf' and she was like 'it doesnt make sense' and then she read more about girls with adhd and everything just kind of fell into place.


so it turns out that you don't gotta be one of those impulsive kids who runs around screaming n hitting people like your stereotypical Six Year Old Boy that everyone imagines when someone is like 'adhd'.  in fact i was actually used as a way of behavioural management because i was so quiet and patient and i didnt really react to distractions (wasnt listening probably obviously) so they sat me near badly behaved kids so that they could basically Yell At A Rock and get bored.  for me the signs were less disruptive and hitting and more 'i don't know how to deal with this overwhelming emotion and so i'm going to head into this corner and cry'.


it kind of got super super clear when i was in year 4/5ish though and i would constantly get called up to the teacher's desk for doodling on my work (n of course i would always cry) and i think it was like 50/50 as to whether i was likely to ever actually finish a piece of work


and then it all started presenting as mental health issues lmfao

Got a cork board for my uni room & went through my memory box to find some stuff to pin up but ended up just finding loads of mementos from my time with my ex.

Like train tickets for our first and last dates, the glo sticks he brought me from a night out when he came to stay at mine when drunk (and proceeded to throw up all over my bathroom), the wristband from when he took me to see Aston Villa, my summer ball ticket, and worst of all the piece of paper from the fortune cookie I had the night before we met.


"Happier times are definitely ahead for you. Struggle has ended."

What's weird is the fortune got water damaged (because I used to keep it in my phone case) and less than a week later was when we broke up.

So now I'm just a crying wreck. I would do anything to have him back literally anything.

i've been on Naproxen for 3 (three) days, and it's already begun to eat at my stomach lining and not to the job it's supposed to (hint, it's supposed to put a stop to inflammation in my limbs to stop them being in pain. it's stopped the pain, but it's made my limbs feel INCREDIBLY weak, and my mum says I look peaky, so probably making me anaemic cause of the stomach lining bleeding yay)

Work put me onto some apprenticeship thing and i can help but feel i shouldve started it by now, but i cant stop myself from procrastinating.

On the bright side, ive done more writing in the past two days than i have in months. Something about knowing i should be doing something else really makes me productive at everything i shouldnt be doing.

 I've got to volunteer from 2-5 tomorrow and it wouldn't be an issue but the elderly are generally selfish dicks here and I deal with all of them for three hours. I don't envy people who do retail for a living since I can barely manage doing 8 hours without getting super annoyed.

 Surely the fact that I'm a volunteer would be enough for these people to not give me flak for trivial things that are out of my control but nah. Genuinely had an old lady wait around the store to report me to who she thought was the manager because we don't have a seating area for her half-dying sister (that she dragged into town) to sit in.

Bought a pack of what were labelled as "3DSXL" styluses, only to find out that theyre slightly too small for a 3DSXL. Feel like this might be the definition of a first world problem, since theyre not actually so small that they slide out, but theyre small enough that they sit really far down in the slot and theyre kind of tricky to get out.

^Great i'll get my german shepard mix on the next flight to england

So let's talk about financial stupidity. My mom's roommates owe us a sum of money (in let's just say 4 digits) and instead of just having their wedding at the fellowship hall of the church (which is actually very nice for a building of that size), they borrow just below that sum of money they already owe us to rent a small little building for maybe 3-4 hours for the reception instead. They've owed us money for months and we don't know if they'll actually pay us back.

And another thing: They chose to have it on the biggest day of the year for our city, which is the huge rivalry football game (I mean this game if the only HS game to have a las vegas betting line. It's that big). They think since their little town makes a big fuss over their rivalry that they get what it's like. I'll put it simply: The town practically hosts a week long riot prior to the game.

So yeah. Genius.

I am super bitter at the moment. I went to a fireworks display (which was great) but almost everyone I saw was with a group of friends or holding hands. It made me bitter because I was there alone and because it made me more aware of how socially awkward I am and the fact that in my flat, lectures and societies I am an outcast. Boop welcome to uni, all your friends have gone elsewhere and I'm too cowardly to make new friends (It makes me question how I got my current friends in the first place)

Also my bed broke.

Don't get me wrong, breaking it down into compartments makes the entire thing sound easy peasy since I'm literally finding journal entries tonight and maybe starting my lab report but the actual statistics side is super boring and we haven't really been taught how to use SPSS so it's just a frustrating endeavour.

 Walked home in the rain without a coat, it was awful as I wear glasses and had to take them off as they were covered in droplets. Noticed that I see colour better without glasses.

 Lowkey, this is one of the best communities ever and the diversity of the user base is fantastic. From funny self-deprecation jokes to how Justin Beiber/Natalie Portman should be terminated. Honestly one of the best communities ever and if I ever attend a meet-up I'll buy a round.

Marriland has caused my inferiority complex to go crazy again. Just because he gets the Sun and Moon games before everyone in europe, that doesn't meen he has the right to attempt to complete it before everyone else. Why doesn't he wait until people get it in Europe before starting his Let's Play? I've always been proud that it took me 24 hours and 36 minutes, which I achieved over 3 days, to complete Pokemon X. Marriland completed it over the period of many weeks, possibly taking more game time to do so. Yet he still completed it before I did. I would kill to complete a Pokemon game before Marriland does.

Now that I think about it, I completed Pokepark Wii 2 before Marriland did. Not once, but twice!
It would still be nice to complete a main series game before him though.

 It's boring though. Literally an exam question on my favourite subject with three theories. Four hundred  words on each theory and I've found three theories that I want to use. Giving myself a 30 minute break after having a shower though to unwind. Should be an easy job but I'll probably finish around 3am.

Here's their (crap) explanation:

Something about not being able to take a sh*t when I get older!

Really? Do I look particularly bothered? I can get loads more done without having to go for a toilet break!

So you're not letting me have pizza twice, but you're letting me have McDonald's twice! (slow, sarcastic clap)

The text below tells you what happened! I put it in a spoiler tag, just in case you get sick thinking about someone else being sick!
Spoiler: show
My belly ached and I couldn't sleep! It was almost midnight when it got to the point where I decided to do something about it! I just about made it downstairs without throwing up. My dad was in the bathroom (ffs unfortunately) so I sat on the sofa. When I was asked if I was OK,I tried to say "I feel sick" but I couldn't because I felt I'd throw up if I tried to speak. I eventually got the words out, then out of nowhere, I threw up. At least my belly felt a bit better afterwards! I hardly slept at all!

I'm never any good at anything that involves other people.

School was impossible for me and I could never understand why. Everyone except for me were all able to answer every single question on every single test without making any mistakes whatsoever, unlike me, who couldn't answer so much as a single question, getting every single answer wrong every time. My teachers kept insulting me, just because I couldn't get any of them right. I always failed.

When it comes to trying to be as good as others at competitive games, the result is always the same - I always lose. I honestly feel pathetic because of that.

By always, I really do mean always.

When I'm doing things on my own, I'm good at it, only because I have nobody to compete with or to insult me.

With the exception of people on this forum, I have no friends to share anything with.

This one flatmate is driving me absolutely insane, like I'm trying not to start anything because they leave at the end of next week but goddamn it's hard.

So like first she's like really loud whenever she has anyone over, which I really don't care about, apart from a few times when my friends and I have been saying bye in the corridor for LIKE LITERALLY TWO MINUTES she comes out and complains we're being too loud.

Also I mentioned in passing that I don't like jarred curries because they all taste the same and she's like "no they don't, I'd know I'm from Bangladesh" it's like... she lived there for two months or something from birth. She's lived in America the rest of her life. plus I'm like 90% sure being from bangladesh doesn't automatically make you a curry connoiseur. Like that in specific isn't a major reason, but it's load of little things like that.

Then I went into the kitchen earlier, and she's like you can't cook I'm having a party tonight so the kitchen can't smell and it's like, I wasn't going to cook anyway, but IT'S A KITCHEN - like it's made for cooking first, parties second sort of thing. Really tempted to go like cook garlic & blue cheese or something like that.

That prolly all sounds super petty lmao but goddammit roll on the end of next week -_-

The wall between our rooms is really thin because it's not one of the house's original walls and I can hear every single thing they say.
I wouldn't mind if they were having a conversation but they've been play fighting for two entire hours and it's just squeals and giggles and it's gross. I'm playing music and sometimes I can't even hear the music over them 😡😡😡

I was in Bill's house and Pikachu was looking at him confused. Then I walked around the house with Pikachu off screen and eventually it showed his "confused" expression. I continued walking and then the game froze! I went into the menu, looked at my party, looked at the stats of one of my Pokemon, when back and the overworld was completely glitched! Went into the pokedex, looked at bulbasaur's data, went back, nothing happened. I had to reset the game! :‘(

Spoiler: handy joke tip • show
the round is a cut of beef around the ass area of the cow and rump steak would have been too obvious

even though you get better flavour n texture with the chuck cut + rib cuts and round-steak is more a stewing-braising steak so while a clever joke it would make for a chewy tough burger and as it stands is bad culinary standards so i will commit seppuku for my food sins

he worded it a bit cruedly but yes as of DSM-V (not the ICD tho) its just part of the autism family and its really difficult to place it apart from the mild/moderate end of the autism spectrum on a medical/diagnostic criteria. i wrote a big dumb carepost about PDD and how thats actually the "family" which has autism in it and the complications surrounding diagnoses and my rudimentary understanding of the neurobiology and biochemistry of autism but it was too boring to read and im still researching myself about everything anyway so it lives on in "posts that died.txt"

AS not being a thing anymore annoys some people cos they thought it was Special Gifted Person with a slight fondness for trains but still Normal And Gifted and none of the stigma of the disability of being developmentally disabled but nope we're all one big special needs squad now wahaaaahhaah

edit: last bit sounds passive aggressive but its more with people who kind of munchausen their way into wheelchairs when they can walk fine and complain about their carers on social media. i (used to) know one of these sorts.

Great, then everyone on Earth can be extremely socially awkward, therefore making everyone on the same social footing. This is it guys, the equality we've been looking for.

My grandfather who rarely comes around visited yesterday. I was worried he was going to be sexist and racist as per usual but he was extremely well behaved and nice. He even apologized for the past couple of years with my parents' divorce and how he's acted. The reason this is a problem is that I feel like crap for assuming that he was going to fly off the rails like he usually does. So yeah, I stereotype my own family members, yay i'm a shining example of morality.

Ouch!

My house is going to be full of Doctor Who DVDs unless the writers stop making a new side-series every few years!

I want to make a Doctor Who timeline with the whole collection of Doctor Who episodes, starting from Christopher Eccleston onwards. When I add the episodes from every side-series with the Doctor Who episodes, I'll be able to watch all episodes of Doctor Who and every side-series in the right order in the Doctor Who universe's timeline. I consider the "right order" being the date that the episodes were first shown on TV.

With a new series of Class being announced, I'm going to have to get all the Peter Capaldi episodes over time.

Just how much is this "Doctor Who timeline" thing going to cost me? I'm considering doing a Twitch livestream of all Doctor Who and side-series episodes, but I'm not sure if Twitch will allow me to, since Doctor Who is copyrighted and all.

In my draft league, I think my matchup this round is bad. So I tell the league leader he can lecture me about how bad my prep is after (like he usually does). So then he tells me that a lot of my team basically wins and I need to look at the teams again. Then he proceeds to give me absolutely no advice about how to proceed.

Like if you're going to dangle info like that in front of me at least point me in a decent direction.

Had to pick a lab class today so after doing so I went to Czech who's in the class and I think a Tinder match is in there...

 Not doing 9am lab classes this semester though since they're brutal. I'll take the awkwardness.

Was super ill last week and only started properly recovering this week and I thought "banging, I'm well in time to do that assignment and get some revision done, ace". Turns out that the assignment was due in today and I've missed the deadline so I'm going to have to try and get an extension and a doctor's note as evidence (which I got because I was dosed up to my tats. One night I started dreaming in binary code and it really bothered me because I thought I was dead) which is okay since I actually did go to the doctors and stuff.

 Actually really annoyed that the illness did get in the way of something.

Gonna feel sick just before the exam, apparently it's anxiety? Could take pre-workout before the exam but I can't remember if that caused a spike in aggression like creatine did.

Especially as within my house I don't really have a best friend and I thought that at least within my course I had a bestie but she just seems to be avoiding me and acting normal with everyone else but then is really funny with me lately?

I don't know what I've done or how I can possibly bring it up without it seeming insulting but I also don't know how I can start to feel like myself into relation to other people again. As if I wasn't lonely enough already? I just feel so isolated and it sucks cos I have a lot of emotions I wanna talk about with people but don't feel like I can

 Dawh, you could just pull them aside and ask what's up? Maybe something's going on in their life or something and they're sending bad vibes towards you unintentionally. Having any anxiety makes things  worse since you start overthinking and stuff then you get worried in case they don't like you or something :/ Totally just ask them about it all casual-like :D

 
I want to post a song I wrote, but I don't know if it would be considered NSFW (or bordering that!)


 As long as it's not overly sexual or offensive it'll be fine, fam. Totally type it up in a post and proofread it for any inappropriate language or themes since it's easier to judge when it's in the PKMN.net post window. Obvs if it's super provocative towards anyone here then it'll be a no-no.

ur depriving my poor guinea pigs of lettuce how dare u

good. iceberg lettuce is Not The Best Thing for guinea pigs cos its so nutritionally devoid of anything and basivcaslly just watery fibre which usually = guinea pig diohhrea diorreea dirreeha dioorreea loose poops for most guinea pigs.

people on pets forums will fall over themselves to tell u that better substitutes are darker greens like endive/parsley/dandelion greens.

but dont collect roadside dandelion greens tho cos they will have absorbed hell of carcinogens and pollutants from the cars!!!! anecdotal tale from someone who made a roadside salad and spent a lot of time throwing up after. i know this is a really weird circumstance but one day one of your friends or family members will be trying to forage for a roadside salad for some reason like maybe zombie outbreak apocalypse or w/e and its Vital to the Plot that you get some greens. green herb, resident evil, whatever. and you can remember this in a flashback montage and turn to the screen and go "no! dont do it!" and find something else instead and heroically save their life so you can a least get Second Good and Perfect Good endings instead of gettin the Worst Bad Ending



also i guess u can undergo the ancient scrubtier art of windowsill gardening (if outside is Big and Scary and/or a garden is like ?????) cos it is coming up to the perfect time of year to get sowing!!!! its gr8 if u wanna make animals love u, for instance i am growing catnip and the cat at work loves me to bits now but i cant leave the actual plants there for obvious reasons.

if people miss iceberg lettuce so much maybe they can grow their own but shops have kind of neutered the avg citizen to the Ways Of Life i.e. making a loaf of bread/butchering a chicken/knowing what a mirepoix is so gardening which is as simple as put seed in ground, try not to drown it, eat it before it tries to flower, are like ??????????? to people for some reason




this wasn't meant to be a gardening carepost but on tumblr i cant shut up about my garden during Growing Season. sorry everyone. Gardeners World is back on the telly in a month or so and im too excited and its too far away!! and i know its only just been Imbolc but WOW winter has REALLY sucked this year. all ive had to eat all winter is tarmac. i guess thats my First World Problem itt.

Even on my days off I'm getting up at half five. I just want sleep.

EDIT: I don't think days off exist for me any more. Got a phone call before 7am for someone calling in sick and spent the rest of the morning scrambling for cover and fixing the rotas so everyone gets enough days off. It's been an absolute nightmare. Nearly ended up going to Bristol this weekend too haha, good thing I didn't.

for a number of reasons my risk of developing an autoimmune disease is something ridiculous, so where it's 1 in 12 in most women it's about 7 in 12 for me and ive always known that and ive come to terms with it but it's just that thing where i am going to spend my whole life watching my body and waiting to see if the general symptoms come on and i know that realistically doctors will be fine with a patient going in to check this stuff but when you go and you have your thyroid tested and your adrenal glands tested and everything else tested and they all come back fine it still feels very very uncomfortable


and then the thing on top of that is that because it's a generalised system nobody knows what it'll be, so yes my mum has Graves' disease which is managed and treated (well i mean,,, she has no thyroid and the replacement thyroxine has made her bones brittle and the treatment for that stops the levothyroxine being absorbed so not really i guess) but there's no guarantee that my condition will be the one we know how to manage and treat and it's just,,,,, augh!!!! i hate bodies!!!

I mean, technically it is, it's like 1 in 21000, but if you do a lot of GTS or wonder trade trading you tend to incidentally end up with it because it has a sort of exponentialish growth where one person has it, their mon are infected and they trade to X people, then those X people do the same thing kind of thing

Never got it myself in the wild, but had it in the last few games from trading usually by waiting for Richard to get it and it ends up on something we trade

 ^ Don't worry, fam. Photography's one of those things where everyone will have conflicting opinions about what looks good and what doesn't. The picture probably looked good tbh. Like, there'll always be criticism with any art since there's never going to be a perfect picture whether it's taken with a camera or painted. The best thing to do would be to keep on shooting and develop your ability with a camera. It feels really rewarding when you find your own style too.

Going too high can permanently damage your vocal cords - the E by Christina at the end of Phantom of the Opera is usually prerecorded, for example, because singing it every performance would completely wreck the actresses vocal chords. Pretty sure Idina Menzel damaged her vocal chords playing Elphaba and Elsa too, Let it Go apparently is one of the worst songs for your throat.

Obviously you can extend your vocal range, but just be careful! Sometimes it's just better to put your own spin on the song and sing it an octave lower.

firstly, always warm-up and make sure it's systematic!! start with humming, then into tyres (lip bubbles), and then easy open-throated 'aaahs' that don't push your chest voice (i would recommend doing this on arpeggios), then do the same but staccato for breath control practice, then an exercise that alternates between legato and staccato styles before rounding off with a few tongue twisters

 There aren't really enough clips at the gym. I think there's 3 in total that aren't broken or a pain to use.

 Like, would it be weird to roll up with some new clips like "yo, here's a donation"? Lol, it's a charity-funded gym so yolo. Wanna help all those nooblets make some quality gains and improve the flow of the weight's room. Plus it's a hassle having one pair of clips when there's a bunch of exercises that require them.

 As I was taking a contact lens out, it slipped out of my fingers, fell back into my eye all crumpled up, then super-stuck itself to my eye after eventually flattening itself out. Was honestly such a frustrating thing to deal with and my eye is sore because of it. Not to mention how much it kills when you pinch your eyeball.

remember when i posted re: battle tree about "i'll prolly get full paralysis thunder w/o raindance and it'll cripple my team"?  well..............

that and the cpu's Stone Edge hitting every turn about 10 odd times while i fail to land a leech seed (and 4 times out of 5 i always lose to the really smug male rising star trainer who i hate the look of) and beat myself up from confusion have made me give up 4 now

the only reason they wont let u use legendaries in the battle tree is cos the computer knows you'd beat it for once. and its a bad loser and spoiled brat and if it doesn't win the battle tree all the time it throws a huge tantrum and the cartridge spins around really fast in the 3ds and trashes all the internal circuits of ur 3ds "to teach you a lesson" and nintendo just do the thing where they let your younger sibling get away with everything instead of replacing the 3ds

"you should have known better!" a swapdoodle from ken sugimori himself waggin his finger a day later "its not pokemon sun/moons fault! its only little!" while the cartridge is giving you the v's from behind his back




i will preserve my battle tree teams for online friendlies (lmao @ the idea id ever play online w/ anyone) but im just playing a difficulty hack of X instead when my sd card arrives cos Competitive-ish stuff is kinda fun? i just wish the main games made u think a bit more instead of "type effectiveness matchup" and it weren't such a You Figure It Out between the main game and Competitive Battling

I put a lot of effort into making an OC that was creative but ripoffs of already existing characters still get more positive feedback.

Well it's fine to rip off your own character I guess, perhaps it could even be the same character in that case?

I never said anything was wrong with Pokémon OCs, just that if there's an OC that's pretty clearly a canon character with a few slight alterations, then maybe change the character or just scrap them and start off new and not based entirely off of another character. I can't tell you what to do with your characters as they are yours it just really bothers me when I see some poorly executed OC, for example "This is Ahh Ketchup he's a Pokémon trainer and wants to catch them all and be the Pokémon master he uses his trusty Pikachu.." Something like that is what I meant, as it's clearly a discount Ash.
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: The name master on March 08, 2017, 14:24
Great idea!

Does this count as a "canon character with slight alterations?"

Porygon (from my fanfic)

They're robots instead of actual pokemon, they have lasers or machine guns (depending on whether they have the appearance of a shiny) and are weak to water (or pretty much any liquid)

And should I make the Zigzagoon talk?
Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: 2OrSomething on March 08, 2017, 15:51
Does this count as a "canon character with slight alterations?"

Well, I'd say it is, but as Porygon isn't an extremely important Pokemon in the series as far as I know, and there are multiples of them, it's not as important for an OC that _is_ a Pokémon, mostly the Pokémon trainers or important non-trainer people would be where a problem is. A Porygon is fine, and while lasers fit with the theme, I can't imagine one with a machine gun, but I'm not one to judge. Just don't go around making, like, Lillith who's shy but friendly and has a Cosmog and is "definitely not Lillie!!"

And should I make the Zigzagoon talk?

It really depends on the context. If it's a Pokémon based fanfic then it's probably a good idea, unless your Zigzagoon is mute and/or suffering from silent protagonist syndrome. If it's focused more on the people, it'd probably be better not to, as usually more common Pokemon can't communicate through words.

I would also suggest perhaps dropping the conversation, as this isn't really the appropriate thread for OC advice, we could continue in private messages if you'd like?

Planned to start my essay on Friday, but forgot, then Saturday I had to go to my friend's party, where one of his friends kissed me, then on sunday I was hungover, and on Monday I asked the friend who's birthday it was if asking the guy out from the saturday was a good idea, he said yes, so I did and the guy said he's busy all week, and when I told my friend he's like "oh yeah he's going through some stuff and he's not completely out yet" and I'm just like ????, but anyways that got me down on Monday and Tuesday so I wasn't in essay writing mood and now I've got 2000 words to write by noon tomorrow -_-

Edit: Currently at 1400 words, and it's got to a point where I'm just using fancy words to make up for the fact idek what I'm writing. When you use repugnant, archaic, ergo and 'cosmetic charade' in the same run on sentence you know the essay is going to be a steaming pile of crap, but at least it'll be done

the Weekly Migrane is mad i didn't let it happen at the weekend and is like "im taking wednesday instead!!! extra badly!" all cos i had a nap and afterwork wednesday is a complete writeoff. and im like no please you take all my spare time at the weekend cos i still balk at the idea of getting up at 7am on a saturday. dont, no! you suck brain!!!!! im hiding the rest of this post in a spoiler tag cos im Longform posting too much lately and its bothering me a lot so hiding it in a spoiler tag will magically solve the problem

Spoiler: boring migrane venting • show

i became a chemist so i could develop a chemical gun to shoot serotonin with cos it never does its job at the right time. its not meant to just arbitrarily dilate brain blood vessels whenever for no reason because it came into contact with an arbitrary Trigger or i did a Thing that the delicate balance of neurochemicals didn't like. its like the brain version of an allergy and everyone hates the kid with the peanut allergy for ruining school reeces pieces giveaways. the pale thin child with white hair called Deklan Monteray who has one of those anoying shrill birmignham kid voices and is allergic to gluten, milk and dust and you're just like The Only Point Of School Ruined cos of danny phantom here. "wots for lunch today lads" and you wanna try to be nice cos you're a nerd with terrible unpopular problems too but you also wanna say "not reeces pieces! thats for sure!" cos school is hard and being a kid is hard and it was the one good thing of the day. vivid fantasies of smashin a jar of peanut butter on the floor like a sarin gas container and just laughing, the Good Fight lost, its not my fault it was double P.E. and double history wot did it. "you okay mayte" he asks in his sausage dog balloon voice. yeh im just. thinking. about stuff.

anyway theres this thing called the National Migrane Centre which could help solve why i get these things but like most Actual Health Solutions To Problems you gotta have hundreds of quid to pay for consultations and also be in london, as usual, Huge Sums of Money Solves Everything which i dont have cos workin class life

in my future career in neuro stuff i will use my chemistry knowledge to concoct a gun to shoot the brain with but those were already invented (prions) (well not technically a brain for a gun its a misfolded protein but you better hope you dont get one cos you are screwed if you get one of those in ur brain, theres no real way to stop it) (luckily its only a thing if u like to eat brains all day long i guess and/or expose yourself to aerolised mammalian brains, see the Hormel autoimmune disorder debacle for more details (http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2011/06/hormel-spam-pig-brains-disease), tw for gore stuff/if u like Spam the meat)



anyway thanks for reading this vent post i have no money for a therapist and must scream (ive tried accessing one on the nhs but you know what mental health/non-life-threatening neurology on the nhs is like)

My nose just bled for an hour

omg condolences, from a fellow member of the nosebleed family

honestly sometimes the only way i could get it to stop sometimes w the proper bleeders was to let it drip into the toilet until the big horrible stringy clot formed and then pull the clot out w/ tissue and just try not to shout or sneeze for the next week or so. all this pinching the bridge and breathing in through the nose garbage doesn't work and the tissue nose-tampon technique doesn't work cos when you remove it it just starts again.

that's what it is? I always thought it was a really big booger rip

every time it showed up it immediately got on the tissue and I had to pull it out fully and that just got it started up all over again >.<

Ah, the nurse insisted on those. Not breathing in through the nose, which I couldn't do anyways what with the tissue and nose tampons and "squeeze the nose" and "put this cotton in the top of your mouth" and such.

Honestly when she got the nose tampons out I half jokingly said "I don't want a nose tampon" because that's what they sounded like and I still can't believe that's their actual name

I almost got out three times and each time it kept restarting it was torture

i assume so, it always used to drip for ages and then for some reason i'd pull this yucky blood clot thing out and then itd stop????????? itd take a couple goes but i was just praying i didn't have to go to the walk-in cos its just so inconvenient and "hello yes i understand people are dying but im selfishly bleeding out of my nose so get out the way please"

yeh ymmv and i guess the nurse knows better than me (since its their job to do this and deal w it every day and work by Best Practises as agreed by a bunch of bigwigs and nerds) but the pinching bridge thing just used to get on my nerves and feel really horrible. i never got no cotton to put in the top of my mouth tho so i guess times have changed since i had nosebleeds???????

it was always "STOP LEANING BACK you'll choke on it!" and its cos leaning forward over the sink w/ the blood dripping out tickled my nose and felt all weird and horrible and made my eyes water and i didn't want people to think i was crying over a nosebleed. if anything the mild loss of blood just puts me in a bit of a mardy for a while.

i am glad you got it eventually stopped tho! its gettin warmer so nosebleed season is in unfortch in for good it seems (had 6 in the last fortnight already and its not even 10 days into official Springtime)..............

It always sucks because I don't want to lean back because it eventually does start bothering my throats and afterwards it's all sore and scratchy but I don't want to lean forward because then the blood just shoots out like come on mate I don't want this. It's this worst when it's bad enough that you have to bend your neck at like a 90° angle or something or else it'll go in your throats anyways. Not gonna lie I have no clue what a mardy is sorry

i never got no cotton to put in the top of my mouth tho so i guess times have changed since i had nosebleeds???????

I think there's some vein on your upper gum that goes to your nose and if pressure is applied it makes it harder for the blood to get through or something I remember reading something like that about it

nosebleed season

there's a whole season for them?? that's bad oh no

it does explain why I had nosebleeds every day for like a month last summer though..one more reason why winter is my favorite instead haha

 Legit just found out that this experiment is too big to just send to people so now I have to actually do it the hard way and get people to take part irl and in person.

I would suggest having tissues or something like that at the ready. NEVER lean back because that could actually travel to the lungs and that's an even bigger issue. Leaning forward, idr if that does anything but make it come out faster, i'll get back to you on that. Just have something to gather the blood on and apply pressure.

So that guy, I found out he's going through something really tough that I went through an incredibly similar thing a few years back, but it's something I literally have only told one person, so when my friend said my immediate reaction was to want to be like omg I know exactly how he feels but then I got all anxious that my friend would be like "that's really convenient you sound like you've made this up to have something in common with him" even tho I know I haven't and it would be a /super/ crazy thing to lie about, but I still have the irrational fear he'll think that.

especially as the girl in question is late to school every single day, skips her tutoring sessions and has never done a piece of homework like??? sorry but it's the teacher's job not to take your side there???

We had a girl like this in our tutor group, people seem to think the tutor's job is just to make their life easier and defend them from the repercussions of their actions, not to, you know, tutor them? Would be a pretty garbage tutor if every time they did something wrong they just took their side and got them off the hook, sure they might appreciate it in sixth form, but a few years down the line it'd just be "my life sucks because my tutor didn't push me hard enough" lmao.

I built a dispenser (to get the achievement for building one) but what's the point of it? It's just putting items in and getting those items back when you hit it. I could just put the items in one of my two big chests!

I think those are usually made as traps? Like, you fill them with arrows, and place a tripwire, or pressure plate, or something, and if a mob or another player steps on it it'll shoot the arrows at them instead of just dropping them as items? At least, I think that's what people did. If nothing else, if you're going for the accurate looking house type look, they make for a more convincing fridge than chests.

Augh, I have a writing assignment and no clue what to write. It's due today and if I don't get it in and do well I'll be grounded for the next three months.

Ooh! I have arrows! Yay! I can make a pressure plate easily (my house is directly next to a forest! Might even have some in my chest!)

Would I need Redstone to create a circuit for the pressure plate to effect the dispenser? If I do, it's fine, I have lots of it!

I guess I should write a problem.....

Ummmm.... I can't think of one! I think shiny Absol looks cool, but I don't know if an Absol belonging to a (evil) trainer in my fanfic should been shiny for no particular reason! It's a female if it helps.....

 Today has been pretty hellish with this study. I'll probably have it all done and dusted by 2am if I'm lucky.

 It's just all so stressful carrying out studies on people. There's a lot of fun involved but there's also a lot of stress and considering that I've been stressing over how I was actually going to do this study without a main room to act as my "lab". Legit had to haul my laptop around in my bag for this study. Don't have a laptop bag so I was wrapping it up in an old hoodie ahaha.

 Man, I always get bumps on my knuckles when I'm stressed and my hands are quite bad this time. Hoping to just relax tomorrow, do something productive on Friday, and maybe do some photography on Saturday and try out that camera I built.

Man, glasses are so expensive.

if you browse the stores and find a frame you like try to make a sneaky note of the brand and the model number of the specs you like, then you can usually see if you can buy the frames on ebay/online and get the lenses put in for cheaper than the shops. basically the high street opticians prices are jacked way up because they gotta accomodate for a whole bunch of overheads like the costs of running the place and hiring the eye people and the receptionists and all the dummy glasses models etc.

if youre specsavers maybe you gotta pay for the rights to name your budget glasses after game of thrones characters for some reason (theres literally specsavers snow and specsavers tyrion for £25 each and i want to die cos its so cringy)


i feel u tho, im not lookin forward to replacing my 5? 6? year old pair specially since i prolly have to get transition lenses (+50 quid and no cheaper to the lens price, tried looking) otherwise its wearin my gawky amber goggles over my out of date glasses till the end of time

Post by: Inferna on March 24, 2017, 08:00
I've been tempted to try order mine online but because my prescription is so awkward I pretty much have to go in store. Saying that specsavers are so much better than my old opticians. I was 13 when I realised that there were more glasses styles than old lady style ones lmao, I could actually get my lenses thinned too!
Bugs me though that according to the NHS website I should qualify for complex lenses (so get a discount) but nah.

I've been that guy before and whilst I'm not saying this is 100% why they've done it since everybody has their own reasons for everything but to put it nicely they could be in a position where they need their space when they crave their own loneliness? Like, it took me two years to get my mini circle of best friends back but at that point in time I really needed the solitude to sort myself. Just keep on allowing that opening for comfort / assistance and give them time to use it.

Invest in an adapter for that then, you can probably find one cheap for like a fiver somewhere or something and it'll be 1000000000x better than a webcam microphone.

I can't seem to get it to work today despite getting it to work yesterday. All I keep getting is a faint fuzzy sound. People call it static, or something like that.

could be any number of reasons - positioning might be an issue if the wires are damaged (they could be damaged internally even if you can't see anything externally) or there could be a problem with the drivers turning on/off at will (this used to happen a lot with my graphics tablet)

I used a Samson CO1U USB Condenser (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samson-CO1U-Studio-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B000PTF0E2) mic for years. A lot of YouTubers that don't know the ins and outs of recording audio use them as they're perfect for recording voice. It was even good enough to record Uni projects (http://www.soundclick.com/html5/v3/player.cfm?type=single&songid=11620283&q=hi&newref=1)

Although, all is not lost if you still want to use yours, you can get one of these (https://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_u_phoria_um2.htm?glp=1&gclid=CjwKEAjw8OLGBRCklJalqKHzjQ0SJACP4BHrzWFZEx807AfkZKsdJpDGbwihcrhdAyDiqITrjsYAxhoCSxbw_wcB) and it'll plug straight in to the XLR socket

I go through the "not excited about anything" phases so much -_- Like... it gets to a point where I get so "what's the point in anything we're just going to be dead eventually and then it'll all be forgotten" and like I lose all motivation to do anything. Like even things I'd ordinarily be like omg I can't wait I'm just like nope??? And then I always feel like whenever things look like they could go well it's just life teasing me and then it all goes to s**t anyways and it's like I'd rather it'd never looked like it was going anywhere kind of thing because when you ruin it you just look back like why the hell did I do/say that when it would've gone so much better if I'd done this and you just want to curl up and hibernate for like 3000 years. But I guess slowly realised that people don't read into your mistakes as much as you tend to, but like even with that realisation I still find it impossible to not realise mistakes as much and I feel awful for them without recognising achievement sort of thing?? I guess it's why stuff like the Everday Accomplishments thread is good because it makes you appreciate the little things, even though they might not matter in the grand scheme of things it shows that there's a glimmer of positivity in a world that just feels so darn negative a lot of the time?

(edited to make it slightly less lame)   

i say this to a lot of people but if you feel you are a partic kind of "depression plus" or that you get fluctuations from normal to sad to happy to sad wayyyy too often for straight up normal hell depression then consider u might be on the cyclothymic end of things and that this (http://psycheducation.org/) site i always flog may be useful as sadly the mental health services in the uk are rather lacking and will just slap "unipolar depression" on you unless u really kick up a big fat fuss and you may have a moderate/mild sorta bp-III/cyclothymia-end form of bipolar

but yeh there is this (https://www.gov.uk/pip/appeals) appeals process (make them do a mandatory reconsideration before an appeal) and remember there is always PALS (http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1082.aspx?CategoryID=68&SubCategoryID=153) to turn to if things get a bit ratty.

sorry everyone u knew one of my huge epicery 'tism effortposts was coming

i'm just thinking about the fact that there are people whose brains work without ritalin and prozac and beta blockers and i just?? people who have never had to take a benzo?? people who are developmentally normal?? people who don't cry all the time?? what the heck???

yeh but who cares about those people they're always so boring and lame. (in golf player voice) "oooowowoohwoh look at me my name is Neurotypical Johnson time to go to work and get a mortgage and do all of a urinate in the toilet. i invest in property and the stock market and i like plain vanilla sex and people will struggle to find things to talk about at my funeral cos im so dull." 


i still need to phone them up to have the mandatory "look at me again you fools" garbage and my mum's gone thru the whole denial garbage (and she's worse than i am lmao like??? get ur head in the game dwp). i'm probably gonna just.......... go for esa as well just to get that Crap squared away.

i say give it a try, whats the worst that could happen, it works?

Quote
my fibro is being looked at (had bloods taken the other week, arm hurt like heck afterwards lol) but getting an appointment at my local surgery is the Worst™ (it's either get up at 8am which i Hate or see some doctor u've never met before who'll probably be all "well u look fine :/")

lmao our doctors surgery is same day embargo too, its the only way to be timely seen in this Modern Age of the nhs sadly. same day embargo (the "get up at 8 to get an appt") is the only alternative to "see u in 4 weeks i guess????" when it comes to organising appointments unfortch.

but yeh anyway regarding the fibro i typed up a whole big effortpost last time you mentioned it here and then got embarassed and deleted it and x'd the tab (i get effortpost Regrets sometimes after and sometimes before) but if you get the chance to get seen or maybe not i would look into a couple things

- gettin ur Magnesium levels tested if they didn't do that already
- getting ur "25(OH)D" or your vitamin d levels tested, idk how your bone density goes in ur family but if it tends to be on the low side DEFFO get it checked out


IANAD etc etc but you might want to look into starting on a Magnesium supplement (with the neccessary "hey doc gonna start taking a mag supplement" appointment if you wish) and maybe scan thru the bits of this (http://web.mit.edu/london/www/magnesium.html) (some persons thing about fibro and magnesium) that youre able to read as while the Science Community figures fibro out it seems like getting additional magnesium in is a really good idea.

i take it for a bunch of stuff (tism stuff, joint issues, post-workout) but i would avoid anythign with Magnesium Oxide as it is really poorly absorbed and acts more like a laxative (long boring explanation but the less your guts absorb the more it makes u poop).

get magnesium citrate (absorbs better than oxide) or magnesium glycinate/bisglycinate (even better absorption than citrate) depending on whether you want midway between poop help and relaxin (citrate) or just straight up relaxing (bis/glycinate).

like i just wish i was as healthy as the rejection letter thinks i am cause i'd be having the time of my life rn, graduated and All That instead of wasting away at home playing the vidyas and crying over boys who don't exist

oh yeh they will do their best to demoralise you and dissuade you from trying again. obvs i have to be Health Confidential given this is patients kinda i guess but even if you can't stand or walk by yourself and need people to carry you and are allergic to things and have a terminal degenerative disorder the Powers That Be will go "errrr narrrrr thats not Complex Needs you can't get any of the equipment you asked for. you see you need 3 or more things in this column that we just made up or w/e" 

Spoiler: beths boring rant about the quiet privatisation of our public bodies • show
unfortch (and i say this carefully given our uh different political leanings) it is basically tory policy to privatise public bodies to their business owning pals can pick up the bits for cheap n make Fat Profits. imagine homes under the hammer but the houses are Public Bodies. and this happened with the dwp and the nhs (i.e. the massive tax credits scandal that barely anyone covered except my queen, victoria derbyshire). once things get subcontracted to things like the dreaded ATOS (the company who iirc do the PIP claims, the same ATOS who can call a literal corpse fit for work) or Capita (or Crapita as its called by Private Eye due to how much it messes up) it all just goes to crap.

the general idea in private firms is "profit no matter what, even if it means worse service and screwing people over, who cares" which means basically making up stuff or craftily making it a complete arse for people to do it so they don't bother and you dont have to pay out. its like anti-piracy measures in games where its meant to catch the few abusers but it just ruins it for the majority of the actual people who need it.   

on top of that lately a lot of claims like yours are being rejected cos of guys currently in charge like this (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/27/heidi-allen-becomes-first-tory-mp-join-revolt-cuts-disability/) guy who, in typical politican fashion, just said "im sorry you got upset" (big city apology, i.e. not apologising at all) when he got called out for the policy change re: denying PIP to "people who sit at home all day with anxiety" cos apparently they're not the "really disabled"

i had to cut this short cos Word Limit lmao Politics Beth but yeh its a bit of a Mess

edit: this might be cause it's 2am or cause i'm not down w/ all the medical acronyms but whats ASD?? if it's autism (which is what google says) then idk cause you'd think they would've picked that up at school??? the brain garbage pile is a more recent development (the past 2 years it hink??? who knows it's garbage in here) that i think was either triggered or made worse by the codeine. i know theres something up with it (fibro fog is what it could be but i have to get diagnosed w/ fibromyalgia for someone to say "yeah it that" and ugh getting a diagnosis is so much of a pain in the ass)

yah its Autism Spectrum Disorder, soz that i DSM-V it up at times ahahaha. you'd think they'd pick it up at school but as usual unless you go to a school that has its act together (becoming less and less these days now that they're sucking all the money out of schools too) you really have to either Act Out or Be Lucky and thats if you dont get suspended/expelled for bad behaviour or get one arsehole psych/doc who keeps vetoing an assessment for dumb reasons. or when the "casual individual autism test thing" rolls around they will do it in the class cos they dont want fail rates and you will be like me, overhear the other kids having it from the other end of the room and know the 'correct' neurotypical answers to give lmao

Spoiler: small diatribe about why its a bit hit n miss • show
its hellishly hit and miss it seems (much like gender services seem to be across the uk, sigh, like most things that arent erectile dysfunction and fat men treatments)

im still learning myself so pinch of salt ofc, but staunch and old fashioned psychs and the ~~~~""""""official"""""~~~~ guidelines will have you believe that if they dont pick up on it by age 3 then you're neurotypical as all hell and if you present as autistic later on then you're just "acting up". a bunch of Assessment stuff is around "childhood milestones" (certain developmental things as ur growing up) but kinda misses the plot on the more subtle adolescent ones.

additionally mimicry is an autism skill that some pick up as a coping skill and you mimic enough social skills to kinda "pass" as a neurotypical for so long and can maybe hold your own in like, a quick casual conversation in a shop, but anything other than that socially at work or in a social life is a nightmare. so you end up with this weird Hidden Autism which dont get picked up on as quick.     

in the USA all kids are tested for autism by default whereas in the uk its up to the parents themselves to "raise the alarm" so to speak. theres no real automatic test. so if your parents dont even know what ASD is or maybe if they want to pretend it doesn't exist and they want a "Normal" kid instead (dont look into the Defeat Autism Now! protocol or ABA or anything like that for the love of god) ..........you can see what im gettin at here. its rly easy for this to slip under the radar.



anyway rant aside and i dont know how any of whoever helps u most w/ this stuff would see it (prolly ur mum?) maybe ask ppl u know well about it etc etc and Have A Think and then go maybe see ur GPs about it if you decide maybe you might be on the spectrum somewhere and about accessing possible Assessment. i mean you may know in yourself whether you are possibly Spectrum or not and whether you want to persue it a little bit?

i am just a lowly idiot on a forum but from what ive seen and with the other common stuff that comes with it (all that stuff we blabbed on about in previous effortposts) i would suspect it a little at least. i mean literally no-one into pokemon isn't on the spectrum somehow (inentional double negative) anyway so

i tried the Get An Assessment thing myself but they will only assess you for support as an adult which i didn't need at the time (had a job and was in uni and by all means was doing ok except now not so much)  so i may have trip reports myself in time to come lmao

Mom's ex boyfriend went spastic last night and almost attacked his mom. Police were called and he was put on a mandatory 72 hour hold for psychological evaluation. Fast forward not even 24 hours later, he signed himself out and his mom picked him up. Both his mom and sister said that they were done but his mom changed her mind really quick. My mom broke up with him because he flipped out after my mom told him he gets 1 more chance due to his history. So now we have to keep the doors locked for a while. Great.

Went out tonight with a group including the guy I like and he apologised for being inappropriate last time we met but said it in like a really weird way? Like, without any preamble really, he's like "I know some people think when you're drunk you do what you really feel and you can think that if you want but ignore that night." and like I didn't think that but now I'm like ??? that's such an odd way of saying it and like he was bein a bit of a douche to everyone else but then like he'd be nice to me and I'm like it's all v confusing why can't relationships be like primary school were you just hold hands with someone and that's a scandalous relationship lmao

My dad's coming to visit May 21-28. We don't get out of school until the 26th (though my brother gets out before that because he's a senior). I have work and don't want really anything to do with him besides for the information I need to go to college. He doesn't seem to get the fact that we want nothing to do with him or his new wife (who was the one he cheated on my mom with. fun fact, she cheated on her spouse too).

Today he said he'd help buy yearbooks then turns around and says he can't because he's moving to michigan to waste the years he said he'd set aside for us on the gi bill finish a business degree that he'll probably never use (which is a valid reason ig), and because he hasn't gotten his tax refund back (another part of the rant after this little section). We know that the second reason is a load of bull because my brother has the documentation which was given to him so he could apply for scholarships for college. Speaking of college, he cited a main reason of getting a masters in business is because it's basically the standard in South Korea, which is funny since he's moving back to the states. Plus according to him, he won't get paid anymore money, which I call bull on too.

Now as for the tax return, here's something really stupid: My mom takes care of us, feeds us, all the responsibility of a parent, but we aren't her dependents. Our dad just sends the money (begrudgingly and sometimes late) and he gets to claim all three of us and get thousands of dollars back. Basically everyone we've talked to about this, including tax experts, think that this is completely unfair. So we're going to get it overturned, plus possibly get more money because now they'll take my (for lack of a better term) stepmother's income into account because she works for the government. I mean giving us the money I guess counts but frankly even then he can't control that because it's automatically taken out of his paycheck from the military. Even then it pales in comparison of what my mom has to do.

And finally, he keeps trying to throw himself (and his new wife which basically all of us would like to knife first chance we get) into my brother's plans for his graduation party, or take him elsewhere, which my brother wants no part of. No matter how many times we tell him, he won't listen. Lemme just say if his wife shows up with him, they won't make it past the driveway before a mob of my mom's friends (who have been more family to us than our own blood, more on that in another rant) likely lynch him. If that happens, at least we get a half million from his life insurance :')

And he still won't admit that he cheated even though he obviously did.

So I decided not to go out tonight and stay in with my housemates who I haven't seen really much lately cos of my social life (which involves hanging out and drinking with people I'm only sort of friends with to make myself feel better about feeling like everyone else hates me) and when I announced that I was staying in they were all joking about how they were having loads of fun without me on the nights I haven't been there and pretending to be disappointed and stuff. There's just something about the way they said it though that makes me feel like they weren't really joking?

How long will it take for me to just find a group of friends who I love who don't just end up going off me. Why am I so insecure about friendships. All I want is friends in comfortable with, I don't even want a best friend I just want friends. Why is this so difficult??????

Don Rickles died yesterday and that makes me question the future of the Toy Story franchise and if it will continue with a new voice actor for Mr. Potatohead. He is one of what I call the main five of the series with the others being Woody, Buzz, Rex, and Slink. They've been there from the beginning. Mrs. Potatohead, the Aliens, and to a lesser extent Barbie are additional since they played important roles in the sequels and with the exception of the Aliens, were introduced in the second movie. Slink got a new voice after Jim Verns died but it's not quite the same and he wasn't as prominent in the third film as he was in the first two. Estelle Harris could also go at anytime given she was around the same age as Don and that will really be a major blow given her significance in the third movie.

Sometimes my school has lunches better than the daily ones available, and they had one of them today, and I qualify for free $2.75 lunches, so of course I got it, but as I started getting it, I already got some of it, I noticed it said it was $4. I wasn't allowed to put it back because it was already on my tray, and I didn't want to look like I messed up, so I just figured "I'll pretend I didn't see it, when I go to get my lunch confirmed, she'll notice and tell me and do something." BUT SHE DIDNT SHE RANG IT UP AS A $2.75 MEAL AND I FEEL SO BAD LIKE I STOLE SOMETHING.

i managed to get an appt for the 24th with a female doctor (who i'm sure i've never seen before but the ladies tend to be more Sympathetic?? in my experience, male doctors have a bad habit of Not Listening to me when i say "hey bud my body is a garbage can given life"), so my blood tests should be back by then. gonna bring up my back pain that hasn't gone away (it's been 6 months!!!! i'm terrified i've slipped a disc lmao) and i think the heart difficulties might be related to angina cause my maternal family has a history of it. like as if i needed more crap to worry about

i'd have to double check my blood test letter thing but they're doing the second one i think. probably checking for WBC levels and something my mum mentioned (for her test it was a little higher than normal for her first test then normal for her second, which was a test for rheumatoid arthritis which I Do Not Want lmao)

IANAD etc etc but you might want to look into starting on a Magnesium supplement (with the neccessary "hey doc gonna start taking a mag supplement" appointment if you wish) and maybe scan thru the bits of this (http://web.mit.edu/london/www/magnesium.html) (some persons thing about fibro and magnesium) that youre able to read as while the Science Community figures fibro out it seems like getting additional magnesium in is a really good idea.

i take it for a bunch of stuff (tism stuff, joint issues, post-workout) but i would avoid anythign with Magnesium Oxide as it is really poorly absorbed and acts more like a laxative (long boring explanation but the less your guts absorb the more it makes u poop).

Spoiler: gross bowel talk • show
mmm i already have mild IBS (a symptom of hypermobility and fibro last i had a look) and i'm taking anti-diarrhea pills at least once a week, and there are also weeks where my body will just be Constipated all the time i'm kind of sick of it but it swings between the two (i get looser stools during period week cause of the hormones that make all that crap happen) and then i might get constipated afterwarrds??? its terrible. this body is terrible i want a refund

get magnesium citrate (absorbs better than oxide) or magnesium glycinate/bisglycinate (even better absorption than citrate) depending on whether you want midway between poop help and relaxin (citrate) or just straight up relaxing (bis/glycinate).   

we have all sorts of supplements in the vegetable drawer i can look at. i'll have to check w/ my doc on the 24th, make sure it doesn't mess with the codeine. and my mum suggested maybe going on something stronger?? i can slowly feel the 2 codeine 30mg not working. doc will probably say it's ok to go to 3 (even tho my instructions say 1 or 2 every 4 hours (lmao naw i don't wanna be that high thnx)) but i don't wanna jump straight up. it'd be easier if my pills weren't the size of FLEAS cause then i could cut em in half??? sighs.

i re-read and i got 0 for everything. mobility, health, etc etc, and the man (cause i'm sure nafees is a guys name, Raven could probably correct me on that cause the dude's last name was Ahmed so i'm assuming he's of middle eastern descent but whatever idc) decided cause i Apparently got up from sitting without difficulty (spoiler i used my stick and the couch and took several seconds to get up) that i can totally walk 200 metres unaided (i can't. i stop, i lean on things or i use a stick like??? don't assume you dipstick)

if I do get the fibro diagnosis or if something is up i'm gonna be referred to a doc my mmum sees and she says she's gr8, plus it'd be interesting cause if it IS fibro she could investigate a genetic link, being i spawned from my mother and all that

i think i am a bit... not normal??? i was always an outsider at school with a few select friends (at least in primary, they were Proper Friends not Friends Who Might Be Fake Cause They Told Me They Were Fake Friends With Someone In Our Group And It Made Me Anxious), weird interests, didn't really know how to act in most situations beyond "sit there and act normal, don't draw attention to yourself" (cause i HATE attention more than anything???? I don't wanna be the center of attention I would rather have a meteor strike me between the eyes)

my mum has mentioned in passing a while ago to my dad that me and my bro might be autistic. of course dad scoffed and said "they act normal" but i'm Not normal by societal standards. i can do ok in brief social situations but idk if it's the same for you but i always practice what i'm gonna say in a coffee shop in my head like "you want this and this don't mess up" and when people say hello in passing I either just smile awkwardly or grunt in some Vague Attempt to be nice back. of course i have days where I feel like I can take on social situations like some kind of mad extrovert but they're pretty rare. i'd rather have my own company or speak to people via text cause they i have time to remember my words and think about what i'm doing


Quote
anyway rant aside and i dont know how any of whoever helps u most w/ this stuff would see it (prolly ur mum?) maybe ask ppl u know well about it etc etc and Have A Think and then go maybe see ur GPs about it if you decide maybe you might be on the spectrum somewhere and about accessing possible Assessment. i mean you may know in yourself whether you are possibly Spectrum or not and whether you want to persue it a little bit?

i am just a lowly idiot on a forum but from what ive seen and with the other common stuff that comes with it (all that stuff we blabbed on about in previous effortposts) i would suspect it a little at least. i mean literally no-one into pokemon isn't on the spectrum somehow (inentional double negative) anyway so

i tried the Get An Assessment thing myself but they will only assess you for support as an adult which i didn't need at the time (had a job and was in uni and by all means was doing ok except now not so much)  so i may have trip reports myself in time to come lmao

yeah my mum is the one who suggested i get on PIP cause i'm not fit for work in any sense (i could do an hour or so of volunteer work at my library, but I'd need a seat and help in case something happens and that would be on a "good" day

AND to get on point of a problem i literally have to write an essay saying exactly why i disagree with Mr Nafees Ahmed's assessment of me (which is ALL WRONG lmao) and like i left essays behind. why must this happen to me.

also the "ur last post from this ip was 30 seconds ago" tried to stop me. you can't stop me

 They did tho.

 To clarify, as I was drunk:

 One of my best friends tried using me as a gateway to get laid. Unfortunately, she went for my best friend of 9 years. This supposed best friend of 9 years thinks I have feelings for the other friend and actively chased after her that night anyway.

 So, last night, I was used and then another friend actively tried screwing me over.

 Wasn't fun.

So met up with a friend yesterday that I hadn't seen in so long before heading back to London and we got on so well again and you know when you just want to immediately see someone every day sort of thing? Like we only had an hour too because we were both so busy but its just a shame I won't see them till mid-June now :(

idk how it is over the pond but at 16 you can get server/dishwasher/busboy (or girl)/line cook at most places here.

I think legally speaking you can get most jobs here at 16, but most common is like serving / dishwasher / supermarket person. Supermarkets are especially common because outside of London they're pretty easy to get jobs at w/o experience, and they like that they can pay under-18s less (although, some of them don't underpay, I know Sainsbury's don't after 6 months). Servings less favourable here than in America tho because tips aren't anywhere near standard. Ik when my sister worked in Epcot she could make upwards of $300 a day purely in tips, here that's basically unheard of outside of like rich boroughs of London lmao.

Ah, I can relate. Not in college yet, but my school blocks almost everything. It'll block a whole website for one page, it sucks. They even blocked the website I take personality quizzes on so I can't even do that!

They literally blocked the word "anime." If something has the word "anime" in the URL it's immediately blocked. So, kissanime, before they blocked the quiz site you couldn't take any quizzes with names like "what anime hair color do you have," I don't even watch anime but that's still incredibly dumb to block sites for that in my opinion.

It's just so stupid that they do it just for the mentions of miniguns, lasers and knives (I know it's because of the image of Nidorina though!) I'd link to it, but I don't want this thread blocked too!

Another site I use to upload pictures, so I can post the link in my posts is blocked if I remember correctly for "pornography"

In my old school, YouTube was blocked.

I don't see the point of trying to stop us looking at certain stuff. If I, for example, wanted to look at pornography (which I don't) I could search for it on my own computer! Of course I'd clear my browser history before taking it for repairs! So why even bother?

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a bit of a problem with that!
Who in their right mind would name an animal something sounding so inappropriate?

Donald Trump's daughter is called Ivanka Trump. Replace the V with a W and you'll see why I have a bit of a problem with her name too!

There seems to be a few inappropriate names going around!

The more I look at his character, the more I think Nidorino from my fanfic is like a pokemon hitler!

He had a rise to power
He has an army
He wants to rule the world
He killed  a specific type of people
And (coincidentally) the voice actor for him is German too!

This is too much like hitler and I didn't mean it to! >_<

probably because the character doesn't impact them much, or they think you're exaggerating, since very few people like to model their characters after a literal nazi. who, should i remind you, indirectly killed millions of people in a systematic fashion fuelled by propaganda led on hating the 'other'.

and those effected, when they're not fighting for their lives, are most likely coming to places like this to get away from it.

I write pretty fast tho, so I'm hoping I can do it in like 2 hours.

Hitler and Nidorino!

hmm, well,

1) we have this thing called godwins law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law) where its only a matter of time in an internet discussion before hitler is brought up in comparison to something,

and

2) the internet Shock Humour machine has really overdone hitler and ironic nazi-ism. hitler related stuff can be a bit Tedious these days and a lot of people doing it are trying too hard to be "edgy" and "shocking" which is why people tend these days towards eyerolling and "sure" or ignoring it whenever people try to go "loooooook, hiiiiittllerrr~" so youre not feeding the attention so to speak.

apart from the fact that there are a good number of other facist dictators out there, as far as writing goes im just gonna say it'll be a lot more Engaging for your reader especially if your villain has a kind of sympathetic backstory or grey moral area/antihero thing (look them up and find other examples, it'll be good for your writing skills) rather than "epic hitler panzerknacker!!!!!".

 Someone tried starting on me because they thought I was being funny with a female bouncer because I asked her what clubs does she work at in the city. I only asked because I go drinking with my girlfriend and it'll be fun to be able to say hello to a bouncer.

 This whole white knight attitude rubs we the wrong way because it assumes that women have an inherent weakness?  She even said that she can fight her own battles when he awkwardly stepped into things.

 Diffused the situation by being friendly to them.

 Like, for you younger posters, if you saying/doing something is what's going to decide whether you have a physical fight with a stranger it's just better to be friendly to them. Ask em for their name, make the conversation into a conversation between two humans.

I feel like Blaze and 2OrSomething have already made this point, but I kinda feel like ranting anyway, so, yeah. I'm not intending to turn this into a pity contest either. But, like, my parents both abandoned me with my great aunt and uncle when I was very young, my mother promising she'd come back. She didn't. And my previously mentioned aunt and uncle, though they've raised me, they, plus my parents, are a huge reason for my depression, a lot of it coming from the fact that they are homophobic and transphobic, and I am both trans, and not straight. I constantly feel unwelcome in my own home and I can't get out of here and I don't know when I'll be able to.

somewhat related: I hate mothers day. I tried to sleep through it, but ended up crying anyway. Checking facebook was a huge mistake...

Got all electronic devices taken away, don't know how long! This includes Xbox, phone, DS, games and wires. Plugging it all back in is going to be a *****! Even though I told them there's no point of doing it if I have no controller, they still wanted it down

i feel bad for everyone ganging up on you a little (despite my weird family history myself) so im just gonna say it sucks when u slip up and make an easy mistake and they think they're "teaching you a lesson" when in fact they're just making you more likely to get bored and be a hassle

Pretty much 95% of my dad's mind is focused on the garden and whatever else he's doing!

And he thinks taking everything away is going to make me any less grumpy at them!

I would verbally (and possibly physically) destroy them, but you can imagine how that'd go!

sometimes parents forget what its like to be a kid
Nah, it's just they didn't have any of the stuff we do, so they don't understand!

He asked me if I had them after we were home! Not before we left! So he should have no access to the garden, his shed or his tools! And absolutely no way would he be allowed to go anywhere near my tablet! (Yes! My tablet is more like his!)

Now I've had a good rage, I'll find some other messed up part of my life to rage about!

I bought a new watch (http://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor-active-pulse-by-nuband-tracker-765119?colcode=76511922) a while ago to replace the one I'm currently using, which has a broken strap. The battery on my new one is pathetic!

On the box, it said that I had to charge it for 2 hours before I could use it, so I did. Apparently, charging it for 2 hours makes it last a week.

But guess what? Charging it for 2 hours made it last.........for 2 hours!

do you actually get the bonus in the end tho or is this just something that is Said? can honestly say that students usually dodge flyer people like they dodge charity hagglers in my experience so id just bin the lot and call it a day.

you couldn't have been "ill" or "busy"??????? you helped out your own standing MP's number one threat why????????? next time please fake explosive diarrhoea or the norovirus.   

so may 4th local elections showed us UKIP is dead and those votes are going p much straight back to the tories. Labour is In Trouble as we know. walsall south didn't have a local election on may so im gonna use the 2015 results here but:

(http://i.imgur.com/hqDckaC.png)

add those former UKIP votes to the tory votes (13733 CON + 6540 UKIP = 20273 tory """"pretend majority""""") and come june the 8th if they can do that for real you potentially have walsall south narrowly going to the tories in what is supposed to be a ~~~~~~labour safe seat~~~~~. i want to be optimistic but walsall south strongly voted Leave in the eu referendum which doesn't bode well as its places that strongly vote leave that tend to go tory in the absence of ukip.

if walsall south turns blue come june the 8th you can proudly say you were a part of that effort. for free n all i take it????? if so then you literally got played by a tory and they are laughing at you as they are wont to be. please dont fall for that again. demand a huge levy to hand out the leaflets next time.


disclaimer: im a bit of a lefty in case that wasnt obvious but for chrissakes please do not volunteer to help out the blue side if you vote red. idk football metaphors but i guess its like.....idk......donating to The bitters when you support......man united. or something. except instead of a boring game of football its the tory party getting even richer.

not bein funny or owt but have you had a Specific Learning Disabilities Assessment of any kind yet???????? ive been skimming over a few of your posts and its a ~~~~~~~~~~~Social Faux Pas~~~~~~~~~ to suggest it (im autisitc as all hell so i dont care about that waahahahahaha) but im just Picking Up on a few of the Frustrations i had before i got..........well i mean i got up to halfway through my degree before i realised something was up and Whoops turns out i didn't escape the family curse of Learning Disabilities after all like i thought i did, but you know

anyway idk i am probably being stupid but i was just wondering.




also to anyone wondering (i looked into it myself before i got my nerd goggles) dont bother with an Irlens assessment. if a lens tint of a certain colour helps you read better go for it but the only Scientifically Proven lens overlay that'll do anything is a blue/UV blocker lens and thats actually initially for light sensory stuff/bipolar control/sleep disorders cos it will stop the wavelength of blue light that pulls out the pin that is the tickin grenade of ur body clock. anyway sorry for rambling

Literally like none of the parties for the 2017 election, nor do I support the electoral system. The two main parties leaders are refusing to debate, making a vote for either of them entirely repugnant in my eyes. May has proved to be possibly even less trustworthy than Blair, and Corbyn has so many policies I disagree with so much. Might watch the leader debate anyway just to get more of a view of the other parties, although I feel a vote for them is literally a complete waste, at which point I'd rather just write "AV/PR Pls k thx" on the ballot slip lmao.

(Edit: Took the isidewith test, and got like 57% Conservative, 53% Labour, so I guess I'm for a strong and stable government led by an unelectable leftwing nutjob then? (/s, in case anyone thinks I think like that lmao) Honestly at this point thinking of just going with Corbyn because he'd be the most fun to watch in charge and the policies I disagree with actually affect me positively, I just disagree with them on a moral level.)

In other news, one of my friends is super nihilistic and one of my other friends is really concerned about some of the things they were saying and because I'm closest to him they're like oh you need to talk to him about that and I'm like I really want to be there but that is like the one thing I can't talk about because those sort of thoughts affected me so bad last year and talking about them in any depth will not be healthy for me, but at the same time I feel like I really need to do something and idk what to do, his other friend group are not the sort of people to talk about that kind of thing (they all have a bit of a "fragile masculinity" kinda thing going on) and the other people in the friend group here either aren't that close with him or really hate deep conversations, whereas I'm usually the go to for this sort omg idk

And then in a super first world problemy way, I'm going to Florida on Wednesday but I think I can only take like $100 spending money which kind of sucks, plus I'm missing like the penultimate week of first year which is a bit sad :(

good. club owners for me just means a dude who goes "welllllll uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and worms his way out of it cos it turns out he hasn't booked any of the bands or djs or anyone that are supposed to be playing or anything and it turns out all the budget inc pay for people has literally gone up his nose. its kind of an automatic kneejerk reaction for me to be distrustful of them so i do apologise for that and i guess i am glad yours is a bit more legit.


as for roaches......well. hm. well. how can i keep this "puk friendly" so to speak

when people want to make a long cigarette and they dont want to be putting a filter in it (otherwise you'd be intentionally hampering your enjoyment of said long cig) and sometimes you need a particular stiffness of card to roll a little cylinder to put in the end of the cigarette to hold it. the type of card you can use you can ONLY rly reliably find in the rizla cardboard itself (not the little green card bit, thats useless)

but sometimes some flyers for clubs have decent card (its hit n miss, some are too stiff, some are too floppy) and its rly good cos you get LOADS of roach material compared to the tiny surface area of a rizla packet. cos even with king size rizlas it aint a lot of roachable material and you get about a few smokes and you have to go back out for more rizlas which when you're total couchlocked you DONT wanna do.

i dont even Socially Smoke (asthma) so none of this is applicable to me tho ofc (i vape instead lmao)

As for everyone talking about politics, I believe we only have (or had now) one smart person in government (or major organization), Komey. Every time Trump made contact or had a phone call with him, he had a memo. Komey left a paper trail so Trump couldn't just wipe everything about the Russian Investigation away.

I get it, he has money, but I am not comfortable with people practically just throwing money all over the damn place. Hell he used to make fun of people for name brand clothing and shoes from famous basketball players, but he brought me a pair of expensive shoes and clothes from two different name brand stores. I mean if he's dumb enough to think i'll wear it all the time, I won't stop him from burning his own money, but it really makes me anxious.

 It's weird how bigoted and ignorant one of my best friends is making himself out to be. Especially because he's quite confrontational and opinionated and when he's losing the "debate" (it's not really a debate with him) he just resorts to adjusting what you can or can't say or flat-out starts calling you names. It wouldn't really be an issue if this wasn't becoming more and more frequent.

^Something else with that. I disagreed with someone on a political issue and I was automatically called a bigot instead of logically talking things out. Ironically, a bigot someone who does not accept the opinions of people who think differently from them.

I ran my head into a heating duct and had to get 3 shots of lytocane and 7 staples in my head. After that my brother threw a pillow at me and knocked over my full glass of raspberry tea.

I don't recognize many of the things the Old Testament says to live (like the parts where pork is banned and you have to hate homosexuals), but at the same time I recognize that most Muslims aren't just going to shoot you if you're not muslim as well, because that would by hypocritical of me. That person is obviously extremely biased and it's kind of sad really.

pokemon direct today at 3pm GMT and i wanna be excited cos it might be a Main Series game and Sun/Moon 2 but it'll probably be something really dumb like Mystery Dungeon Butts and Farts or even worse Pokken 2!!!!! on the Switch!!!! and about three or four nerds will be like "yeh!!! so exciting" and the rest of us will be like, why. pokken sucks and is for stupid idiots who tweet about their maimai top scores all day

even worse, new pokemon will be on the switch which will be completely pointless cos theyve just released the new 2ds xl and im not buying a switch. i literally cant afford it.


plot twist: pokemon ranger sun and moon

My brother told me that he caught a shiny the other day! Why does everyone have a shiny but me? :'(

ive been playin pokemon since blue came out (missed gen III tho) and only just got a shiny carbink in the wild like a few months back to go with like. two other hatched shinies (hoppip and anorith) keep tryin, you'll get there eventually!!!!!

also pokemon gimp mask lion and pokemon pastel goth bat comin to 3ds this november and im excited!!!!! probably the only one who is accordin to the tag on twitter (lmao we got all decade to wait for sinnoh remakes and switch games before climate change kills us horrifically, smdh. everyone all a bloo blo bloaaa bloa bklooo NO POKEMON STARS NO SINNOH REMAKES YOU REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME GAME FREAK NO BUY and itsl ike shut up you idiots!!!!)




The only shiny I got was from the odd egg in crystal, but that has a 14% chance of being shiny, so that don't count!

there are annoying people in the world who are like "whoops opened up the game and got a shiny haha oh me oh my oh did i just get a shiny immediately after????? haha oh wow" and thats a sign theyre jerks but the fact that we never get any shinies is just some sorta, i dunno, sign we're just so cool that the shinies are dazzled by our coolness and can't get close.

whenever they make the next pokemon mystery dungeon they'll do this big storyline i bet that if you dont get shinies often its cos ur a Cool Person n Wonderful Trainer and not a big jerk trainer who gets shinies all the time like everyone else does

well, thats my excuse for not getting shinies hardly ever personally i think.

We're close enough that I guess I can just ask them if they've got with anyone since we last talked and if I word it right they should naturally clarify. I mean I would ask directly and he'd answer, but it can make things awkward if they're not.

I've lost my voice, I always do when I'm feeling really upset.

I read earlier that someone earned an award for bravery after being murdered. I earned a couple of awards at secondary school for reasons I can't even remember anymore.

The only two things I've ever achieved at school is being bullied and insulted.

Earning an award when you're dead is completely pointless. Earning awards for reasons I can't remember is making me feel pointless.

I just wish I could let go of all my memories (both good and bad) from when I went to school.

 Could you use Audacity to save the audio from your video then put that audio file over the footage from your video? Dunnae what software you use, not sure if Audacity is free either but you can probably do it in a free editing software.

 Audacity is free (I think) so you might be able to open your file on Audacity and just edit the audio so it syncs up to the footage. Haven't touched it in about five years now and it's the only one I used so there's probably easier methods to fix it up but yolo.

your hones issue is that you likely have a load of junk on there. uninstall some games you don't play anymore, delete some files and it should run a bit faster.

That, and some of those wikia sites keep chucking spam ads at the browser in the background that don't always make it through. The Fallout and Resident Evil ones are the two worst for it I've found.

At least you think we're cool enough that you'd tell us. My brother's friend is actually gay and everyone thought he had a thing for his best friend. Her and him (the two friends) have gone to the same schools and lived next to each other since kindergarten. So i'm kinda surprised but it does explain a lot.

I was going to post this in Everyday Accomplishments, but I seemed to be moaning more than going "YAY!"

I got two comments on my latest video in the fastest time ever!

Two comments about five minutes after upload in under one hour! I don't care if both of them is partly telling me to look at their channel! Any comment is better than none! Except hate ones!

But do I seriously have to upload videos full of copyrighted content that could very easily get me a copyright strike to get comments? Why can't I ever get any comments on my animations? Those are what I really want!

It just seems that I have to upload videos with copyright infringements or parody something popular to get any sort of attention instead of being creative and unique!

Anyway, here's the video

Those people are the ones who should kill themselves! Their videos are bad and they should feel bad! And I won't look at your channel unless it interests me (like linking to other threads on another forum thread on this forum)

I have 36 subscribers (not bragging) and how many of these 36 (that I know are subscribed) comment? 0! Honestly, what is the point of having subscribers if no one comments? Why should I even bother with subscribers? Why should I even put any time and effort into my content?

^Looked up the riddle from the show, and the way did it doesnt make sense. As you said, you can ask them a question with an obvious answer and problem solved.

In the proper riddle, theres two men in front of two doors, one man tells the truth and the other tells lies, one door leads to freedom and the other to death. In other words, youre not finding the liar, youre finding the right door.

 
Spoiler: show
The solution is similiar to the shows. You ask them "if I asked the other man what the right door was, what would he say"'. Both would point to the wrong door, and so youd choose the other one.

Well as it turns out, the doctor my brother was seeing for his ADHD when he was younger was a complete quack. He had my brother on at least 3-4 different controlled substances without telling my mom (illegal), 2-3 of them basically being adderall, and the last one not being approved for use in minors by the FDA until 2 years after he started taking it (which said doctor also neglected to tell us). Along with that, he put my brother on two different drugs at the same time, which when researched both turn out to be adderall. The side effects were basically not treated and as it turns out, he could've killed my brother. We're just now figuring this out.

i'm just...... really mad

read an article on the bbc about some ex-army guy who was discharged after injuring his lower back. like ok that's fine, a lot of people have slipped discs, but it's only a small portion of those who have pain. so this guy... he applies for PIP - which some of you probably know i've been fighting for since last november, and he gets it. he said in his application, and i quote "he can only walk between 20 and 50 metres, can't walk on uneven ground, suffers pain when walking long distances and needs to sit down every 20 minutes."

to compare what i said for similar: i can only walk less than 10m before i have to rest. slopes and uneven ground and stairs are an obstacle and i cry inside when i have to trek them. i'm always in pain - literally always, otherwise, yknow, i wouldn't be on medication for being in pain. i need to sit down every five to ten minutes.

i'm not trying to say "oh i have it worse!!! why won't they give me my money!!!!!" it's the fact this man climbed africa's tallest mountain, did three triathlons and took part in the world powerboat championships. all while being in """excrutiating pain"""!!!!!!!

i can't do HECK. i get tired going up the stairs. i can't exercise much because it hurts. but i guess i was faking all along!!!!!! i guess it's all in my head!!!!!!!!! i must just be lazy!!!!!!!!!!! i flunked uni three times and can't get a job why don't i fake an illness that i've had for 9 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why don't i take medication that i don't need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went for a routine eye test only to find that my retina is starting to detach 🙃
 
Never noticed any of the symptoms cause it's in my right eye which my brain ignores 99% of the time so. I thought he was just being very thorough with it but he looked with the little lamp thing and was like 'are you sure you're not seeing floaters?' and then proceeded to look again and was like 'yeah I'm going to have to phone the hospital.' Thankfully if it was bad I would have probably got seen to yesterday but I've to wait until next week for a letter. Means another operation though most likely :(

Was most likely due to my high shortsightedness in both eyes (-10 and -12) - so if any of you guys have terrible eyes like mine then get them checked regularly or see your dr/optician if you notice anything changing!!

When I was younger I had a squint eye, so to prevent double vision my brain tried to block any signals coming from the squint eye - making it become 'lazy.' So I essentially use one eye to see with. I can see with my lazy eye but I'm not consciously aware of it. I have peripheral vision with it but if I was to close/cover my other eye then I would be more aware of it. It's a little weird to explain I guess but hope that clears it up a little!

i know inferna has already said stuff about her own eye, my brain does the same. It just ignores information from the crap eye, unless you close your good eye/something is blocking it. the way they fix lazy eye (or how they used to, not sure if they do it anymore) is to put a patch over your good eye, so your brain HAS to get used to using the other eye alone. I hated using patches :(

Yeah. I hate people who try and act like they're the victims when in reality they are the instigators. This is why I hate and refuse to support the self-martyr mothers of autistic kids that hurt their child and manages to get the media to believe they are the victims. Seriously, if taking care of your own child is soooooo bad you can always get someone to help you. There are agencies that are set up to help parents and some even are paid for by the government.

I have had Pizza Regret before. Not sure if it's the same with everyone (and it typically depends on the size of the pizza/slices) but for me, yeah, four slices is typically when I start thinking "hey maybe that was kinda piggish of you" at myself, too. It's why I try not to eat more than two slices at any given time. (if there's excess, then cold pizza from the fridge can be a nice treat in the morning)

Anyway, uh... Sleep's still wrecked, I guess. Thankfully the sunrise ensures I still get up at a decent hour regardless, but I might need an alarm clock for the colder seasons...

If you get full you save the slices for either breakfast or you heat it back up for lunch. No regrets there at all, unless it's just frozen pizza in which case unlucky son.

this guy knows whats up. pizza is a totes Treat food for me cos it is just way too unbalanced and Bad a food (if i dont eat at least one or two veg with two or so meals a day my digestives play up. also i guess its healthy to have veg?????) so its only an Occasional food and ofc my brain just goes total mental with this Pleasure Food and then after the long delayed satiety response sets in (ur body takes a while to tell you its full and if ur a nerd you can't even tell what its tellin you so well) and then i die

it could also be the majority of pizza is totes trash food and the only good pizza is one you make yourself but i been real lazy lately

I've never had pizza regret before tbh.

give it time and im sure you will know the slow motion stomach explosion pain of Pizza Regret sooner or later in life. and when u do i will be hoverin over goin "i waaaarrrnnedd uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" like the grim reaper except like, i dunno, my scythe is made outta pizza or something. i dunno if it is a thing of Age but it will come to you toooooooooooooo //ghostly voice// 

i now own a fidget spinner and i'm disgusted in myself

So all year I've been going on about wanting a new TV
Finally find one that I like for a good price (49 inch smart tv, £300)
Get some money from the parental units for my birthday towards it
Picked it up from Tesco earlier this evening
Get it home and spend a good hour or so sorting out my living room to set it up
IT'S GOT A BIG DIRTY CRACK IN THE BOTTOM CORNER

phoned customer services who said to just take it back to the store but I just wanted to play splatoon 2 on a stupidly big tv is that so much to ask

also my current tv stand is too small so I'm gonna need to fork out £££ for a new one to sit this  behemoth on top when it's replaced aaaarrrgh

 Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses! Are there seriously Pokemon claw machines these days? Because those are pretty much two of my favourite things combined right there.

 That actually reminds me of how rigged the ones were when I went away with the missus since it was a case of the plush genuinely being too heavy for the claw to pick up so we ended up flip-flopping it into the chute.

I'm worrying a lot for a friend of mine. Him and his brother live with his aunt and uncle. Between practices for swing band a couple days back, he was told to leave his band stuff in the car when he was dropped off at my house along with my sister. When him and my sister get to the second practice that day, his brother was told to grab his band stuff. He grabs his instrument but not his music. The band director asks my friend about it and he tells the truth, so he goes to his brother and he tells the truth and has to do a lap. My friend is told it's because he didn't hold his flute at the right angle. His brother then proceeds to tell his uncle (who has progressing Alzheimer's) a complete lie. He gets up in my friend's face and demands an explanation, and when he tries to explain, he doesn't even get a chance as his uncle grabs him by the neck and throws him into one of the chairs, almost hits hi and basically throws him out of the house. My friend immediately came to my house, and we finally get his aunt on the phone. Once she comes to pick him up and head back, she stops in to talk to my mom and basically condones the brother lying (my sister overheard his brother talking to his friend saying he was mad he had to do the lap and wanted to get my friend into trouble) and said my friend was wrong for actually following instructions, and he may not even be allowed to come back to my house, even though he really did nothing wrong.

So he's in a situation where he gets blamed for everything with a ticking timebomb of an uncle (who sometimes can't control himself I do get that) and may now have no way out short of flat out running away. His aunt and uncle swear up and down they don't have a favorite, but my friend's younger brother gets away with basically everything and if my friend puts a toenail out of line he gets in huge trouble (and I have witnessed this myself in the past). I am just hoping he is allowed back so he has an out of that situation because I have a sick feeling something's going to happen even worse than today. I'm going to try to convince him to go to the same college as me that way I can get him out of there because they may say love him, but after today, they're basically casting him off from what I see.

Tl;dr yes they are being silly billies!

Ended up at the hospital again last week with a different consultant this time, was noticing a shadow in my peripheral vision and the optician said to pack a bag in case I was going to be kept in (was feeling hopeful about this). Consultant said that it's definitely been there a long time, there was scarring and pigmentation(?). He really just said that because I've learned about it recently I'm prob much more aware of it than I was before.

He was incredibly reluctant to operate as well, as it might cause me problems further down the line w cataracts and things. Even if he does it'll just stop it from spreading and won't get me back any vision I've lost. So they're not doing anything just now because it's 'stable and long standing' which is annoying.

He's going to compare notes with the other consultant and if he's noticed any differences then I'll get a letter within a few weeks but if not it's a wait until November!! Props to him though he was v through and had actually read through my notes (I have 4 humongous bundles lmao). Apparently I won't lose my sight so??? I think come November I'll just get fobbed off tbh.

He said if I notice changes to go back to the opticians again, but I feel like I'm being a Pain by doing this now ugh. Thankfully my optician is lovely and knows my history so it's a plus I guess. The really fun thing is I had no idea that my eyes being the way they are that I was predisposed to it anyway, like no one had ever told me? So thanks for that I guess!

 It's annoying tbh. Ended up not going because of it.


 Was also sniffing around Infinite Warfare because it's in CEX at the moment for roughly £15 but after watching some gameplay, the campaign looks cool but it's nothing spectacular and I wasn't going to play the multiplayer since FPS online communities tend to be horrifically toxic.

I bet they don't take your stuff away and say "you can only have this at this time and that time and for this amount of time at a time" and so on.

One time they said "We want to give it back to you" About a year later. No sign of that!

Another time "do you actually care about getting it back?"

Yeah, but the real question is: Are you actually going to give it back to me?

Likely answer: No.

Because you're always saying do this and do that. Even if I do without being asked, you always find something else to moan at me about, so really, I can't win either way.

They don't even mention it anymore.

Unplug the Xbox even though we have the controller rending it useless. Bring down the games. Bring the computer down after an hour of using it. Charge it downstairs now. I'm drowning in their ********!

I did. Simple human error.  I could have very easily fixed (by going back and getting what I'd forgotten)

But as usual, parents (mine at least) don't think that way. And they punished me as if it was lost forever and couldn't be found. Got it the next day (again, could've got it the previous day) but everything is still my fault (as usual) I can't remember everything!

I literally cannot have time away from work and not have someone tell me at very short notice that they can't work a certain shift during that period which means I have to come into work during that time. Case in point, as I've worked every bank holiday Sunday and Monday this year so far I booked off to go away for the weekend with the plan to come back late Monday. Now I haven't got anyone to close at work, none of my staff will cover which means I will have to possibly come home earlier than planned and work 😰

my partner had to put her cat down
i met him when i visited in march, he was so sweet and cuddly and affectionate. he had a big droopy face bc his teeth were missing. he was definitely an old man, but she got him as an older stray so she doesnt know his real age
its either organ failure or blood problems, and either way she cant afford to treat him. he started acting strange and avoiding food and water a few days ago, but today he was vomiting and wouldnt move, so she took him to the vet and they ran tests and no matter what came back she had to resign herself to putting him down

i guess the worst part is shes 14 hours away so i cant just up and visit her to offer her any help or comfort and words just feel really hollow and useless rn. im gonna miss that cat she loved it more than anything. he was such a sweet and friendly boy.

On the upside I didn't have to pay entry to the club because a girl from sixth form was being super friendly and paid for me lmao so I didn't have to walk to a cashpoint.

That's just it. The GC games I wanted were all $20 or more. Pokémon XD was $50, Wind Waker $30, and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door was $40. Plus the store had no Gameboy Player either which was something I wanted as well.

So I'm literally so paranoid about friendships and like people not replying / if i message first all the turn I'll think i'm being annoying or they don't want to be friends or something and basically I haven't told real people (you guys are all code idc what the picture topic tells me /s) apart from one friend I'd told on Friday night because I'm dumb and forget not to tell people things when I've had alcohol, but anyways they're a close friend but it doesn;t matter (although they are the worst for this), and I messaged them yesterday literally saying I'm going back to London soon so if they want to meet up I'm only free certain days and they haven't responded and it's just /the worst/ timing because now I'm getting paranoid I upset them when we were out (but I don't think I did?)

Tl;dr yes they are being silly billies!

Ended up at the hospital again last week with a different consultant this time, was noticing a shadow in my peripheral vision and the optician said to pack a bag in case I was going to be kept in (was feeling hopeful about this). Consultant said that it's definitely been there a long time, there was scarring and pigmentation(?). He really just said that because I've learned about it recently I'm prob much more aware of it than I was before.

He was incredibly reluctant to operate as well, as it might cause me problems further down the line w cataracts and things. Even if he does it'll just stop it from spreading and won't get me back any vision I've lost. So they're not doing anything just now because it's 'stable and long standing' which is annoying.

He's going to compare notes with the other consultant and if he's noticed any differences then I'll get a letter within a few weeks but if not it's a wait until November!! Props to him though he was v through and had actually read through my notes (I have 4 humongous bundles lmao). Apparently I won't lose my sight so??? I think come November I'll just get fobbed off tbh.

He said if I notice changes to go back to the opticians again, but I feel like I'm being a Pain by doing this now ugh. Thankfully my optician is lovely and knows my history so it's a plus I guess. The really fun thing is I had no idea that my eyes being the way they are that I was predisposed to it anyway, like no one had ever told me? So thanks for that I guess!

sorry for not getting back to this sooner yagggg, heard anything yet??? also sorry to hear that they are being stupid!!!!!!!!

but do not feel like a hassle to your optician or doctor if anything happens!!!! i have trouble understanding stuff over forums so i dunno if you're having that "i dont wanna be a hassle to anyone if anything changes ill live with it i guess cos they'll just be weird about it" when you said about being a Pain

but its ur eyes and if they're being Silly Billies they sometimes need Complained At a little bit if they're gonna be Obstructive cos sometimes they're a bit Lazy (especially some of the consultants! ive had mostly good luck with the drs ive met and the nicest one was in neurology and the worst was a gp which luckily has left my practise thank goodness! he was the worst) but unfortch they will be tryina be all ~~~prioritise on need~~~ due to the publicly funded health stuff  etc etc

and the people who yell n whine a lot always get it above those who wait patiently which considering this is the country of queueing and tutting at people making a Scene is kinda dumb but there you go.

i mean i keep forgetting where exactly you are stationed atm so idk whether its PALS or the scottish equivalent???? but i think there are Liason services if u feel a bit dodgy about asking them about it directly.



anyway like i said sorry if this was what u were gonna do and this big pep ramble was unwarranted tho hahah. i guess i am just flailing appreciatively in the annoyance at them for leavin u feelin a little bit Uncertain and "well thanks guys" a little or something cos thats probably some sort of Bad CQC Metric somewhere in the nhs. anyway thanks for readin and i wish u the best of luck with the eye stuff!!!!

(also i am gonna take ur earlier advice in ur other post and get my own eyes checked cos its been a while esp since im seein too many floaters and the whole migranes thing has come outta nowhere)

The answer could be many things. Sleep apnea could be the answer if it is a daily occurrence. You can get tested for sleep apnea pretty easily. Just see your regular doctor who then writes out an order for two test to be done.

You either need to practise better sleep hygiene (going to bed at a set time, no gadgets half an hour before you go to bed, etc) - or try changing something about your bed. Change the sheets, quilt covers, pillow slips, maybe see if you need more or less pillows or need to find a more comfortable sleeping position.

 Had a strange encounter whilst walking into town earlier, peeps.

 A lad approached me and asked if I would give him a wedgie because he had lost a bet so I naturally say no. He then asks if I'm proficient in the use of magic so I'm like... "nah it doesn't exist" and his response was that he doesn't believe in the government but it still works or something. Oh, he also mentioned that he could attack me with magic and I wouldn't be able to defend myself. He THEN goes on to tell me that he was practising magic and accidentally summoned a demon who makes him ask people his age if they'll give him a wedgie and if they say no they tend to die after a month as a sacrifice to the demon. Note that this causes either good luck or bad luck for that month too.

 So... yeah. Legitimately had someone come up to me to have this exchange. He asked me tonnes of weird questions too about any hopes and dreams I had too.

 I mentioned him to my friend the first time he asked me to give him a wedgie and he apparently asked if he could steal his soul.

There is a certain Youtuber who has videos I watch every day. I've been able to learn a lot from her lately.

the support is apparently not receiving an email back over at least a 4 or 5 day period of time and then having my school email shut down, still without a response, because i'm no longer a student


real helpful and nice considering i already had a personal statement drafted at this time last year. i want to cry.  i'm going to end up not going to university and never ever doing what i want to do and getting a phd and becoming a professor because i'm not pushy enough and i know i should email him  from my personal account but i'm Mad and i'm Anxious and i really wish he'd actually like??? emailed??????

The biggest SD card size it can apparently use is 4 gigabytes. A 3DS is capable of using more than that! It can't even record in widescreen or HD. 720x576 is the best it can do.

I obviously need to get myself a new camera. I don't want to use my 3DS or iPod camera for what I have in mind.

I really have a strong dislike to those. In my senior year of high school, the cafeteria sold iced tea in those cartons and the kid that bullied me threw an unopened carton directly at my head and hit me. I stormed out out the classroom and straight to the principal office because I was very unhappy that the kid kept doing stuff like this to me and I complained about it and how it was every single day. He still never was punished for it and I'm hoping karma gets him and strikes him so hard that he learns what true suffering is. He got away with everything for five years in school and not once was ever punished for harassing and assault ing me.

I had a Kangaroo plushie that head loads of sentimental value and I thought all summer that I'd left it at uni but when I got back to uni a couple of weeks ago he wasn't there (his name is Joey because I'm imaginative) so I realised I must have taken him canalling with us and probably left him on the boat. Anyways, I've been trying to get hold of the boating company for weeks now with no luck so today I went all the way to Bath on the train to talk to them about it and apparently they donate stuff like that to a charity that sends toys to kids in Africa.

I'm gutted but I know I should feel happy for the kid who has my Joey but he's ... mine? And I can't help being really sad and selfish about it 😔

One of the most annoying things for anyone who draws: instead of catching the awkward parts during the drawing process, you only notice them after the fact the next morning. Even more annoying is when an earlier attempt, in retrospect, has some things about it that were better than the end result, but then you went and scrapped it...

I mean, sure, there's always "fixing in post," and yeah I could try and step up my warm-up game, but if I have the time to draw something, I'd like to take said time to make it look good when I go to actually draw it. Never mind some "quick" drawings end up taking me upwards of a few hours.

tl;dr drawing is totally fun and there's definitely no suffering involved

I'm just so done with people like I can't tell who's passive aggressively avoiding me and who's actually busy

You have my sympathies, I hate that feeling of uncertainty too. I don't wish it on anyone... but now I can't help but wonder if I've been too "busy" towards others, myself.

So I feel like I might have actual depression (which I'm not going into, but I don't mean just sad), and probably have had it on and off for a good while now but like the first world problem bit of its that I never want to say anything to anyone because I feel like everyone thinks mental health is just the new social media trend and I just don't want this label. Like idk I've just been sort of powering through but recently I just don't know how long I can do that for.

You have my sympathies, I hate that feeling of uncertainty too. I don't wish it on anyone... but now I can't help but wonder if I've been too "busy" towards others, myself.

Yeah I feel that, like I've certainly at least overexaggerated how busy I've been before because I can't deal with someone at that moment. But like, I don't get why people do it if they're not wanting to talk at all like just say and don't waste either of our times lmao.

I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to tell my lecturer that the lecture she moved to avoid clashes has caused a clash with a meeting that I have to attend.

IANAD as they say but you mentioned being "in and out of it" which i have some investment in, how long do the ok periods last, and when you are "out" of the depression how do you tend to be. meh, ok, good, or over the top kinda hyper-y?

my old school didn't tell me that they wanted ucas forms for early applicants in by the end of the week (the actual deadline is 15th october) until yesterday so now i'm stuck in a limbo of figuring out whether to write a follow up email to my mentor (i emailed him my 2nd draft on friday, which he didn't reply to, and then a third draft yesterday after i'd received the email) or not.  since the 7th september, i've had a 2 in 7 success rate regarding whether he actually responds.  this is just really frustrating because i've spent hours reading and researching and writing and trying to work things out and if i don't get an email response today i won't have time to work out any kinks. 


to clarify exactly why this is so frustrating i turned down a place at edinburgh after getting three a* grades at a level so that i could apply for cambridge and for the school to say they'll support me and then not give vital information until seven days before the deadline or respond to my emails really feels like mickey-taking.

The last two years of my grandma's life I was afraid of finding her dead in bed one morning whenever I visited her. It was because she was close to 100 years old and we all knew she could go at any time. I think that feeling is normal once they reach a certain age.

I haven’t used it since I finished uni because it’s so slow and cumbersome compared to my iPad, it’s what 4 years old? Basically I use my iPad Pro for like 80% of anything I used to do on my laptop besides from illustrator and unity stuff. I actually did all of my artwork for my final major project at uni on it and I don’t think I could go back to using a slate Wacom (unless it was a cintiq lol).

So that made me think about getting a desktop but I dunno what next year will bring ie if I’m going to move/go back to uni etc. I need something relatively Powerful and future proof which = ££££.
Also the whole windows vs Mac thing. Most windows laptops now are 2in1 things which i don’t see the point in getting because: iPad. Some of the powerful ~gaming~ ones just don’t look nice which leads me to a Mac but it’s so much goddamn money. It’s so frustrating aaaa

Not if it’s a biography for a car!
the prefix auto in the word autobiography means that it was written by the person it was about.
a biography is a book written about a person by someone else.

ie, i write a book about my own life, it's an autobiography. i write a book about your lie, it's a biography.

anyway i got mad fibro pain and it got me craving the void, and also my great uncle passed away a few days ago

It was a joke. You set it up by putting a space in the word and I was playing wwwith the word since auto can also mean car. You people really need to know when someone made a joke.

Furnace is "fixed", meaning we have heat but leaving the furnace on spews stupid high levels of Carbon Monoxide. So basically until the community action board comes to fully insulate and then replace the furnace (for free since we're in the poorhouse basically), we have to do this dance where we turn on the furnace, let the house heat up a bit and then turn it off quickly so we don't possibly die.

Wouldn’t a small electric heater work better? They are very effective at heating up a room and they now have a safety feature that automatically shuts off the heater if it falls over. So you have less chance of it causing a fire. There are affordable models out there and they come in all shapes and sizes.

Once again, we're in the poorhouse so we can't exactly do that. Besides, that would not nearly heat the house as efficiently as what we need.

I temporarily went totally colourblind the other day. Total colourblindness makes it so I can only see in black, white and grey. I don't go completely blind.

It was weird. While sorting out various different coloured beads at my art group, I somehow got some kind of colour overload, and everything around me looked like a black and white film for a short time.

This has happened to me a few times before.

Apparently, total colourblindness has a name: Achromatopsia.

this is late but it's better to take one than to make your anxiety attack worse by wondering if you should, if you aren't sure it's probably worth leaving them with your mum who'll be able to control your intake if you're worried about becoming dependent (i.e. if your doctor has put you on benzodiazepines)

I agree. You got the meds to help you with anxiety attacks and you should use them for that. And having someone else help you monitor how many you use isn’t a bad idea. Anxiety meds such as Xanax are very addictive and many people who take it end up emptying the bottle in less than two weeks. Just take them as needed. You are the best judge as to knowing when it’s time to take one.

I did not pick Africa because it will get played any way

I picked The Riddle by Nik Kershaw since I very much doubt any one else would pick it and it definitely fits the vibe (and I love it) but at the same time I'm feeling like you can't have 80s without some I've put on a list but I can't send over the list because I only get one pick. It's such a dilemma!

Would be much better if I was just doing the music but hey ho

Tbf, unless you're playing gen 6/7 or 2 and actively trying to get one it's not that unreasonable to not have one. If you really want one and only have gens 1-3 (I gather from your posts? Could be wrong), your best bet is probably using gens 1 & 2 to use the glitch in gen 1 that lets Ditto copy the shiny Gyarados' (from Lake of Rage) DVs  (& therefore shininess), and then trading to gen 2 and breeding the ditto with whatever shiny you want and it's a 1 in 64 chance, which is the highest chance in any generation, bar perhaps ultra wormholes in USUM (& ofc Gyarados itself)

whats this talk about february being the cruellest month when december, month of the longest nights, clearly is. just 8 more days and the balance begins to tip the other way and oh boy am i ready.

i mean fer chrissakes all my seed packets say "sow from february" how can it be a bad month?????? ''bluhhhhhhh its too short and also its the month of black people and lgbtqiaetc" how is that bad. fight me anyone who disagree. february is a sign that march is literally round the corner and spring is about to happen even if spring = "slightly less rain than usual" in the UK.

december just = overgregarious consumerism from a stolen pagan festival. in fact thats it, the reason they go "ohhhh feburary is so bad" is cos the january sales are over, xmas YULE is over and no-one can hock half price garbage atr you to make money off you from stuff you werent gonna buy. so spiteful business use 9999999 years of market research and Advanced Psychology and control of everything to make you feel bad!!!!! the turds

 I think just saying that I wanted to rant about it got it off my chest. I got a bit bothered when my friend popped me up (who has patchy MH) to tell me about someone who was pretending to have what she has for the attention. I typed up a big ol' rant though and deleted it because I had to ask myself "who would pretend to be mentally ill for attention?" and I want to believe that it's just their way of dealing with it and that people don't stoop to that level.

 

 There's a week until Christmas and I still need to get four presents, a box, and name tags so I know what's what. I've also got to get an ethics form done but that's not as fun.

Bjorn is starting to slow down and show his age, but yet he still takes the time to somersault off the bed when I'm not looking!! He tried to nip me when I caught him mid flip. It baffles me, because he's willing o do this but when he falls out of his hammock onto the bottom of the cage it knocks him for 6 and he cant move for a bit. I guess if he gets worse he'll have to go in Rosie's cage instead and she can have the big runaround

"who would pretend to be mentally ill for attention?"

a few people... unfortunately. but writing everyone off as faking it is usually how people end up being miserable in some way. it's better just to roll with it. if they're faking it, they'll realise it's stupid and grow out of it. if not, they'll have a support system.

i faked depression for attention when i was 13. joke's on me, i'd actually been severely depressed since i was 8 and was "faking it for attention" as a result.

My back's been hurting for at least a year now. I've gone to the docs practically every month and only one did a minor check (said I had good range of movement, like yeah that's what hypermobility does lol) but no one has passed me on. It's getting to the point where my back actually hurts more than the rest of me, and hurts to the point where it's the only thing I can think of (which is like a 9/10 on the pain scale). It's just getting beyond ridiculous now and I hate going back and back and back to the doctors (ha, back) when nothing seems to get done.

It took me 8 years to get a diagnosis for joint hypermobility so I'm not gonna get my hopes up. At this rate I'll be 32 by the time anyone goes "Oh yeah, 8 year long back pain? That's weird."

your Game Plan with docs is getting a referral to either an occupational therapist or a physiotherapist if you can + finer subdiagnoses of wth is going on 

if you been bonafide proper diagnosed w/ hypermobility and everything they should be offering you some form of referral for some kind of ~~~~~non-pharmacological~~~~~ treatment especially since the GPs should be going "hmmery we should be reducing dependance on opiods" cos dang if the opiod painkiller industry Problem & The Trouble With ΔFosB Overexpression & why the hell fentanyl deaths (both legal and heroin spiked) are now even being a thing and is like....omg dont even get me started cos i just sound so Conspiracy Theory about it

NHS rules also say you're entitled to a Second Opinion/complaining about it and usage of this thing called PALS  (https://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/1082.aspx?CategoryID=68) for when your doc is bein a bit of a dic so use them both!! i know its tempting to give up and go "why bother" in an eeyore voice esp since the nhs is now falling to bits or w/e with glorious brexit but STILL

also you should have been givena leaflet with this this (http://hypermobility.org/help-advice/) support group post-diagnosis with a helpline you can ring. not quite the same but as a lungnerd we have the British Lung Foundation and you ring them up and they tell you how to talk to the GPs to get what you want and where you want to go with ur feeble lungs (its staffed by asthma nurses and in ur case the helpline on the hypermobility site is staffed by hypermobility sufferers) so you should give the Bendy Joints version one a try??? they have an email address somewhere on the site to email for advice/help (technically under the kids/teens section but you can cheat and go ''sorry im a bit of a mental childe i guess im too scared to ring the telling communy occastions number'' like i would lmao. ive found if you're in total doubt and epical autism is failing you completely you can just go in completely the wrong place and act a bit useless sometimes & they'll give you The Aw Diddums Look but point you in the right direction)



also p.s. i can't remember if you said you had any kind of MRIs or any kind of scans or anything but i guess just cos i had one friend who had a terrible lower back and arthritic stuff and it turned out she had anklyoising spondylitis you could probably get that checked out but say that to the docs and they really WILL think you been Dr Googleing it unfortch. but i guess make sure theres no family history of backbones fusing together

maybe its not the same thing, but i remember my mum had severe back pain (along with fibromyalgia.... lord) for about 2 years before a doctor referred her for an mri scan. turns out one of her spinal disc?? things?? has completely flattened over the years. so she basically has one less part of her spine. 2 years to get told she MIGHT need an x ray... and for something like that? messy.

but i had a similar issue, not as bad but still messy: my thyroid is broken to the point where i just got it completely removed last month but back in like 2012 it took me almost a year to get someone to figure out why my arms hurt so much. i was in agony every time i moved even slightly it was a shooting pain for like 20 minutes after. as you know you need arms and hands to do most things so i was effed for daily life, and it eventually spread to my upper arms, then my shoulders, until my entire body was just unable to move without being in pain, and to cut a long-ass story short, i eventually got blood tests and got told "oh, you need a higher dose of thyroxine, go from 75mg to 150mg"

like... when someone with hypothyroidism comes to your clinic, saying "hey i have muscle and bone problems" which is an issue in people with hypothyroidism, you generally think "ah, maybe we should run some blood tests"

the worst part is i got blood tests throughout that year but got told nothing was wrong. like... how do you mess that up. sometimes i wonder if paying for healthcare over in america might help more than whatever this is.

ahh nono i was talking about how its a treatment for chronic migranes if both the beta blocker/anticonvulsant fail. no acupuncture for u luckily. (there is a tca but im already on one and i HATE strong anticholingerics)

the NICE guidelines are the things that docs have to (or should) generally follow In Good Practice iirc (the reason GPs seem so apathetic and Try It For 6 More Weeks is because the job of a doc is basically to go by a professional flowchart with Doctorly Common Sense and if they deviate from what Best Practice Guidelines say they open themselves up to Legal Malpractice Trouble, not lettin any of them off the hook but its a bit of a legal nightmare bein a Responsible doc)

naproxen is awful on the stomach (i think i went on some boring dissertation about non-selectivity of COX enzymes and how stuff like ibuprofen and naproxen also inhibits the same thing that makes ur stomach mucus lining - hence the terrible stomach cramps! minor stomach ulcers! hurray!) in most patients with dicky tummies it should be co-administered with a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole. if you feel like trying anti-inflammatories again you could try Meloxicam maybe

opiods make u feel v bliss n floaty n "aaaaah yeh" which is usually Big Trouble in the Hippopotamus Oath Doctor world. obvs its a long way between codiene (the literal weakest opiod) and fentanyl (not quite carfentanil in terms of ridiculous leathality, such that it was used as a literal aerolised chemical weapon once, but getting there) but its the sllloooowwwww adjustment of pain receptors over the months and years that gets you there

lmao soz im p much going by the website and assuming Best Practice which is a happy ideal. reading on the hypermobility website it says the Fatigue with hypermobility is important to get Checked Out so its not confused with either CFS or ME which have completely different Approaches to tackling them treatment-wise so maybe thats the next step????

if physio doesn't work you can try to blag for an Occupational Therapist but //wavy hand motions// good if you can get them. sniffin around on the site it seeeeeemmssss they tentitatively consider hypermobility and Ehrlers-Danlos Syndrome the same now (bottom of this page, click on the bit that says "Ehrlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)") (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/joint-hypermobility-syndrome/). so technically i guess you should be asking ur GP who you should be asking for clarification over whether you're a hypermobility patient or an Erhlers-Danlos patient now????? for ~~~~doctor legal diagnosis proper-iality~~~~~ although if Updated Education hasn't rolled out they'll probably look at you all like "you wot" so double edged sword maybe

obviously BIG DISCLAIMER i am not a doctor and so forth. if they can't give you the answers they need then in so many slightly rude-for-me words (i try to respect all the skills of our nhs staff) they arent Expert enough for your current needs and need to refer you to someone who can deal with you (local pain clinic, local rheumatologist). the feeling u will get when u get to someone who can deal with you or takes you Seriously is Great and totes worth it, trust me. even if it does mean a lil bit more waiting so i do urge u to push on

no-one gets anywhere in endocrinology cos the place clogged up with 70000 dads going 'i got a lump in my throat at my sons beautiful flute solo in his school concert,  ive clearly got a serious goitre and need a thryoid check doc'




seriously tho sorry if this is quote hijacking but sorry to hear and hope u are doing better now, i was curious but unless ppl actively openly talkin bout it in word form i feel hella weird asking about stuff like im oversteppin peoples social comfort boundaries or something 

obvs im (whats that word. starballin? spitgazing? armblazing???) here but i heard the reason they miss thyroid stuff so often is cos you gotta tell them to do a full thyroid workup and not just the TSH which you'd think they'd do by normal!!! but technically a big n proper thyroid function test with Nationally Standardised Levels is due dilligence at some point for everyone presenting with Psych Problems (p much the only reason i know about thyoid test stuff lmao) too and those never happen due to £$£$£$ or the lack of it in the system. strategic framework stuff which would get sorted somewhat if the nhs wasnt such a mess rn (beth prays for politics miracle in 2018. aaaahhh who am i kidding).

you can go Private here which some people do but unfortch if they Screw It Up you arent entitled to the Consumer Protection that you were if you were public (see: Ian Paterson compensation case and how the private clients got screwed over) and also its sometimes just the same stuff in the end. like the hissyfits that BUPA patients pull when they're on essentially the same wards + same treatment as "scummy nhs proles"

Things for my close friends seem positive and I have been getting more confident with myself. I've had some friends from back in the day come to me and tell me how proud they are of me for getting my life back together after years of self destructing I guess?

YouTube's changed the criteria for the Partner Program meaning you now need 1k subscribers and 4,000 hours of view time to make it in. Means smaller channels that are growing legitimately through putting out content regularly are being put back a few steps but I can see why they're doing it- Trying to stop those who upload things illegally and collect the ad revenue on views alone aren't making the money they were.

I wasn't making that much money off my channel and I wasn't in it to be a YouTube star, just make a few extra quid to finance my hobby, but it feels a little annoying because I'm putting in the work in, was getting a decent return for it, only for it to stop.

Apparently it's because of the Logan Paul scandal, but I dunno.

wheezes i finally got two dates i've been waiting on

first one is my assessment for my physical and mental health for this mess that's called universal credit. i'm mildly worried about that considering how my pip assessor lied through her teeth about my health. on the plus side i guess i'm... worse??? than i was when i had my pip assessment and i have a whole two (2!) new diagnoses.

and the second one is my pip tribunal date. which, to put it lightly, i am having a code brown about. it's in less than three weeks. how am i going to prove to a judge and a doctor that i'm as ill as i say i am??? my physical disabilities aren't visible, and neither is adhd so lmao. there's also the fact that 65% of tribunals succeed which gives me a 35% chance of failure which is terrifying. thankfully my mum will be there and she's been through this garbage before. doesn't realy change the fact i'm bricking it here

I’ve been ignoring my once called best friend now for the past week or so which is incredibly petty but they’ve turned into the Worst person since they went away to uni again this past year. Kinda hurts after so long but I’ve been tired of being treated like a doormat so *shrug*

I asked them to do the most basic favour ever: Skype me for like 2 mins to test it out on my new laptop cause I had an upcoming interview with it. They were too ~busy~. I’m guessing in their mind they think it was due to that One Thing but it’s just been a slow culmination of crappy things they’ve said/done over the past few months.

It’s just frustrating realising the things you thought about them years ago are actually true. There’s only so much selfishness, flakiness, and drama I can put up with! If they want to still be friends then they have to make an effort but I guess they won’t so I’ll continue to be Petty too :)

Title: Re: first world problems
Post by: SirBlaziken on February 11, 2018, 22:18
^Not going to lie, i've never gone deaf like that and that hurt me. I LOVE music and it's a huge part of my life, so I couldn't imagine not being able to hear it.

I covered for someone yesterday and ended up working from open to 30 minutes past close (minus an hour because of 2 half hour required breaks because i'm still a minor). My feet were red and sore when I came home and one of my coworkers was being a complete and total....(well i'd love to put a word here but I can't so fill it in as you please). Not only did she show a half hour late (which she did notify way in advance so that's not a huge issue), but stood around and talked half the time or was texting. Meanwhile went after me when I stopped to ask a manager a question or stopped for a minute or two to chat when we weren't busy and told me to get back to work....even though I had finished my job for the moment and even did the extra cleaning I was told to do already. All of this while she was already behind, then decided to throw in my face that she was being trained up for a promotion. Problems with that include that she actually isn't reliable, isn't being promoted, doesn't do her job half the time, calls off the other half, and when she actually decides to do her job barely even does it remotely correctly so someone else has to come along and fix it (usually me or a manager who already has 10 other things to do). I finished my closing stuff 45 minutes early then the only reason I had to help a little bit with her stuff is so there wasn't another fight between me and her that night (manager would have sided with me if he wasn't going to get in trouble because he isn't technically supposed to take sides like that). After I did some he called me to the office and said since i'd literally worked open to close that I can leave, and I did amid angry glancing from this waste of 8.35 an hour. She was complaining about being there when she was already a half hour late, came in only about 3 and a half hours before close, and I had literally been there since the damn store opened.

Some people.

If they did it in front of others, you might be able to make a formal complaint (provided there is someone higher than him, obviously)

When my missus worked at Matalan someone berated her and made her embarrassed in front of everyone and it turns out you can do that kind of thing. She didn't know at the time.

mmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMM
Spoiler: tribunal bull • show

SO i didn't sleep l ast night and I was bricking it all day as one does when anxiety is basically thicc enough to become a black hole in your chest.

i had to leave a mindfulness thingy for people with mental illness and developmental disabilities an hour early (it was my fourth session and there's i think six more?? or so???? and they already knew beforehand anyways) and everyone there wished me luck bc they could see how anxious i was

gets into chester like two hours early and me and mum sit in a heaving Costa and I nearly die from sensory overload because it was loud and everything happened so much so I plugged in my music and tried to block everything out which is easier said than done especially when my food took like... five years

buuuuuuut we walked to the court (took 4ever bc my legs don't work like they used to before) and i went in and i knew i was Dying Inside but the security guards were really patient and soft-spoken (i had to empty my pockets and inform them about my knee/wrist braces and the bracelets that i can't take off without hurting myself bc i got searched!! for realsies!!!).

SOOOO anyway we get up into the waiting room (got bless elevators they are a thing of beauty) and the clerk to the tribunal comes out and informs me what's happening as i'm probably like, disassociating and panicking and generally having a Bat Time but my mum went in with me bc I think i would have deadass rather have tossed myself out of the second floor window than go in on my own

unfortunately for me tho my gp records didn't get released so the tribunal didn't have all the evidence?? the judge was really nice and patient and explained everything in Simple Words for my stupidass brain and said that the best course of action was to adjourn bc of the lack of evidence, but he wanted me to say yes rather than me say no and them to say "nah we adjourning anyways"

on the plus side it gives me more time to collate more evidence and for my family to issue impact statements on how they have seen my mental and physical state take the world's worst rollercoaster ride, and i signed a new consent form for my gp to release my records.

on the negative side i nearly burst into tears in front of the judge and the doctor and the disability expert (i did cry, but only silent tears bc I couldn't just burst into tears even tho my brain rly wanted to). they let me step out to get an adjournal letter printed as official evidence and for the consent form to be printed. although i tried not to cry i failed step one and ended up crying anyway. i managed to not ugly blubber but yeah

but this does mean that the tribunal is sure that i can win!! just not right now. if they didn't think i could win then they probably would've been like "begone thot" when i went in so suck on that dwp you're gonna owe me even MORE money now suckers (but with new evidence the DWP could actually change their minds on the PIP ruling and i won't have to go back to tribunal but gjkldfjd)

i emailed him but hes stupid picky about late stuff so there's almost no way i'm going to get to do anything about it. my grade was already only a high c because i'm awful at public speaking lol so now i'm gonna end up with a c or a d (or an f lol)

//finger curls on monkey paw, wish comes true but you also bring back confused school dinner pot mash and its weird yuppie cousin pot rice as well//

ive never tried one cos the Spiciness danger intimidates me, im stronger than "ooh no only a korma for me (puts salt on korma) aaaah spicy!!!" levels of spice and can eat the Santa Maria (formerly Discovery) pickled red jalapeños on stuff but i still hiccup and have meltdowns when things are any spicier like birds eye chillis, vindaloos etc

so given my complex spice medical history would u consider the bombay bad boy pot noodle a Good Fit as i am curious and have wanted to try it since it came out but im still too scare about the spicy levels. is it underwhelming or overwhelming #potnoodlediscourse


also i found with the crap ones if you put more salt in before the kettle water goes in it takes it from "this is so awful id much rather make real food" to "itll do i guess" but i luv too much salt in everything so

i can't remember if i thought this or actually posted this in some form so apologies if i said this already but honestly the only orange and pineapple ive found that doesn't taste like someones waterboarding me with canderel is lidls own brand one?????? i can't stand any form of orange squash and even most places tropical squash is garbo now. most of the apple and blackcurrant in stores just smells like cat pee now for some reason and sainos lemon/orange/pineapple is ok in a super tight pinch i guess but somehow lidls is p much the only drinkable one now and even now i dont know for how long

i could be wrong and theyve changed it too but ymmv?????

edit: turns out im talking about Double Strength squash, the only single strength squash i will buy is Summer Fruits Barley water cos i dont see the point of the rest, its too inefficient, so if u are talking Single Strength squash then disregard cos thats a different ballpark entirely

The bus company have not said whether the bus services will be returning to normal tomorrow so I may just take 3 trains to get into work instead and get up at 5am

Woo
uhhh chicken noodle mug shots are p good if you put in a lil extra salt and don't put in like, a cupful of water. i like my sauce Thicc™ and not like, watery soup

Pot Noodles post 2005 are crap so unless you're old enough to remember the joys of salt, additive, msg laden goodness, I wouldn't blame you for not liking them.

Apparently research was done into MSG and the original research team that found that MSG was harmful had it all wrong. Their research was faulty, so that's a shame.

My GamePRo has an excuse as to why it hasn't arrived yet, as it's coming from New Zealand, but my book is from a website based in England, so you'd think it would have arrived by now.

 This pub where I have lunch with my friend serves the diet variants of coke by default and, trigger me timbers, it's annoying because the diet variants taste noticeably worse.

 I overheard a girl on the train talking about how they're only serving the diet variants of coke where she works so I'm guessing it's a thing that's being rolled out.

Honestly I’m impressed he lived 50 years with ALS. Most are lucky to get five or more. Dr Hawking is a medical miracle in terms of the illness. But he seemed to have been declining in health the past decade. He was virtually immobile towards the end since he lost what little hand movement he had left a few years ago.

For whatever reason, the disease developed much slower than it does in most other people. Jason Becker has survived over twenty years with it.

shaymin i have a better idea i suggest you immediately spend £999999999 on a solid gold block to sleep on

Spoiler: poor people mattress lifehack • show
for real my poor ass keeps two old duvets on top of the mattress underneath the duvet cover to deaden the crappiness of the mattress and when i got the Ability i clear the bed off and rotate the mattress (kinda longways then shortways) every few weeks/months or so wherein it feels mysteriously flatter (fat butt flattening springs down on one side?).


p.s. memory foam will make you a sweaty mess cos it has terrible heat/moisutre retention and is the mattress equivalent of wearing a pvc suit. this is sadly a Known Quality of the thing but its cheap and the people selling it know this but dont care and want the moolah and will just shrug and do Urkel phrases if you take them up on it

youd think the shop that caters to awkward depressed ppl would have its clothing in sizes that awkward depressed people would be, but because no-one buys their stuff cos you have to be a literal baby to fit it instead hot topic et al. have to make it up by charging 99999999999 quid for everything instead.

honestly when i am prime minster of the world im making it so that the reverse is the case instead, clothing comes in all sizes except diet twink size & is produced in surplus so i can sell it for cheap to nerds instead of havin to wait for sales. and for once hot topics previous target audience has to go to the tailors/has to learn how to sew/screenprint/diy etc instead and you can bet theyd cry all day on social media & crowdfund a plot to assassinate me cos theyre that much of sore losers about being the ones who couldnt find cool clothes for once

re: trainchat - i cant remember if i ranted about it Boring Pub Drunk style but i think its hilarious that the trains are the way they are with 999999999x delays and richard branson spending too much money on space for rich people and not enough o nthe trains and yet we still have to bail them out when virgin/stagecoach screw up (see East Coast disaster).

imagine mps like chris grayling et al. having to make do without the tube or the london transport infrastructure, and having to cope literally anywhere else in the country, no 3hr taxis or uber or own cars allowed. can you even imagine the childish tantrums the mps would pull right there on the platform, goin all limp when the station guard would try to pick them up. but its ok because HS2 literally anywhere wont be electrified anytime soon cos all the money has to go into crossrail 2 instead.

Only if we can have a random angry nerd she plucks from the streets as vice.

the vice will have to lose in a tourney to me at a game of smash, i have only ever played the n64 version and mained captain falcon and threw tantrums cos the computer wouldn't let me charge up falcon punch all the time so this is where the challenge comes from, im rly bad at it and am totes Casual Button Masher (as if there was any doubt)

this fails as a selection strategy anyway because nearly everyone ends up vice cos i feel bad about leaving other ppl out........

I think the best was leaving Edinburgh at 4pm and not actually reaching Inverness until about 10.30pm (usually takes around 3 and a half hours).

I am tired of Amazon billing me twice for something I preorder: once when I order, and again when it ships out a month later. I check my records on my debit card and it is being charged both times. So basically, i'm paying twice for the same item. Here's the kicker: every time it says it will come in on the release date and it ends up being delayed due to the number of orders placed for that item. Meaning: I payed twice to reserve something that got given to someone else who ordered it way after I did and I have to wait.

Never pre-ordering from amazon ever again.

Trying to find a way to break to my partner that I don’t like Marvel films.

I don’t have a problem with hero & action films in general but the marvel franchise panders to an audience so much it’s ridiculous. “Ahhh put in some cool explosions and have a character say ‘uproarious’ after” but let’s not have a good plot or character development or any sort of human authenticity whatsoever.
 
I watched the first Deadpool film for the first time the other day and it was AWFUL. Nothing the character said or did was genuinely funny. His character had such a sad backstory and that was really good and it would have made such a beautiful superhero tradegy story but then they went and made the character wise cracking but never really gave an explanation as to why he was like that?? And it just read as Marvel being too afraid to make a film you can actually take seriously so they just covered everything up with meaningless quips and fourth wall breaks that the movie never earned. God. Okay I’m done.

For what it's worth, Deadpool is a "Marvel" film, not a Marvel film, in that the character's movie rights are owned by Fox (or Marvel Entertainment, who seem to produce the movies typically credited to Fox?) and not Marvel Studios, so Marvel Studios (who do most of the other films) don't really have as much input in it.

And I guess a lot of the rest of what you say about Deadpool is kind of a case of "if you don't already know the character you miss the context"? Basically Deadpool as a character was driven insane by the experiments at the start of the film (or comics) and as such somehow becomes aware of the fact that he is the character in a film (or comic), so he plays up to that with all the wise cracking and fourth wall breaking. He's aware of the narrator, he's aware that his speech/thoughts appear in bubbles, he acknowledges the issue he last saw a character in, etc.

I also think it's unfair to say that Marvel films in general don't have good character development or human authenticity, because a lot of characters have really good story arcs across the films (I could maybe accept that inside the films it's less pronounced, but I'd argue it's absolutely there in each film). A good example being Iron Man, who after the events of The Avengers becomes obsessed with trying to save Earth before it happens, leading to the Ultron incident, and then seeing the effect that has on him in Captain America: Civil War, or how he treats Spider-Man in Spider-Man Homecoming.

It's fair to dislike Deadpool because I can accept his film is a pretty specific type of humour and (especially if you don't get the context of the fact he's medium aware, which admittedly they should have touched on more in the film since it's kind of If You Know You Know) perhaps doesn't seem to take itself serious enough, but it's a pretty big departure from the majority of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is the stuff by Marvel Studios that people typically think of when they say "Marvel Films") which is pretty (at least what I've seen) universally enjoyed.

Other examples of "Marvel" films that aren't really Marvel are: the Fantastic Four films, all the Spider-Man films prior to Spider-Man Homecoming, all the X-Men films, the upcoming Venom film.

(also sorry if this seems like DON'T DISLIKE WHAT I LIKE :@)

Trying to find a way to break to my partner that I don’t like Marvel films.

I don’t have a problem with hero & action films in general but the marvel franchise panders to an audience so much it’s ridiculous. “Ahhh put in some cool explosions and have a character say ‘uproarious’ after” but let’s not have a good plot or character development or any sort of human authenticity whatsoever.
 
I watched the first Deadpool film for the first time the other day and it was AWFUL. Nothing the character said or did was genuinely funny. His character had such a sad backstory and that was really good and it would have made such a beautiful superhero tradegy story but then they went and made the character wise cracking but never really gave an explanation as to why he was like that?? And it just read as Marvel being too afraid to make a film you can actually take seriously so they just covered everything up with meaningless quips and fourth wall breaks that the movie never earned. God. Okay I’m done.

invite me 2 your marvel themed wedding where u will be sitting there angrily fake smiling when he makes you ask him if hes more of a wolverine or an iron man in front of all his nerd friends and hi fiving them no matter the answer. youll be sitting there dressed up as black widow reflecting eye daggers off the top of your prosecco at him cos he does the first dance with his lifeside spiderman cardboard cutout instead of you

you have the power to stop this by telling him "marvel is just OK i guess but is it ok if we watch heathers instead of repeating avengers assemble for the 32468489nd time. im just not that into it and i dont think ill ever be."

he ought to hopefully be decent about you not being entirely keen on marvel i guess but if he isn't then thats a shame and he should not be a jerk about it

just tell him u dont like marvel? not that difficult lol...

anyway yeah deadpool sucks unless you know why hes like that, which was already explained i guess. they cut out a big part of the film that explained a whole lot more. i think theres a scene called "cancer world tour" that makes you a little more sympathetic towards him and im not sure why they removed it.

if that doesnt help then yeah you just dont like marvel and thats all u gotta say.

Del basically explained what I wanted to say but I couldn't put into words.

On a similar note, a few of us on one of the discord servers i'm on are trying to help this one guy diagnose why no one wants to write and roleplay with him. We attempt to present some possible opinions, especially on his characters (all of which feel the same and are flatter than the earth Swansea's chances of ever winning Premier League). So he immediately assumes we are attacking him and then pretty much does a "plug your ears if you can't hear them they aren't attacking you" thing.

Also this girl I was kinda seeing has broke contact with me, as she's a friend of a friend I've found out it's because I didn't ask her out quick enough and that's because ~confidence issues~ and it shouldn't really bug me that much but it really does.

I am always tired. And to make it even better, the company has decided to take the closing crew down to 3. Normally there's 4 people and we get out about 1.25 to 1.5 hours after close usually. That's just enough people to put 1 at every station: Front, Line, Dish and Manager Bookkeeping. However, apparently they thought we were taking too long and instead of possibly adding someone to help things along or even make up new processes to fasttrack things, they told us we can only have 3 closing and we have to be out in an hour or we can get written up. So basically, we lose our dish person and have to basically finish closing dishes before we even close to customers. This will set EVERYONE back and it's just to save a buck. Only reason we got out at the 1.25 mark with 3 people is because we were lucky enough to be slow and keep all the way up on dish. On a busier day where people are coming in almost up to close? Yeah right.

I find myself frequently daydreaming about the way I was treated in school. I hate my imagination sometimes!

I always thought that the people in my school bullied me because I wasn't popular. I was basically the real-life equivalent of the tv show scenario where I'm an unpopular kid in school with only one or two friends, and I try (and fail) to become friends with literally anybody else.

Imagine something like this:
Popular kid: I'm not respecting you because you're not popular.
Nerdy kid: You have to be respected to be popular, not be popular to be respected.
Popular kid: Shut up nerd!
*Popular kid shoves nerdy kid in locker*

Why don't people understand that nerdy people make the best friends? I would have had far more friends if people took the time to actually get to know me.

I'm so glad and grateful to have more friends on this forum and at my art group than I ever had in school.

 Oh man, I just didn't put any effort into listing my skills and came off as a big ol' mysterious pleb sarnie. Not as bad as the lad volunteering for additional poos tho aha.

 Actually got an interview for tomorrow with it though which is noice. The only downside is that I applied for two positions in the same place with one of them accidentally being a cleaning job and the other being the one I want and the manager didn't specify what position the interview was.

 The last interview went bad but ye it was solid practice for tomorrow's. Just hoping it's for the right job position.

My mum is so annoying sometimes.

Mum: Do you have a drink?
Me: Yes, Mum. I have a drink.
*5 minutes later*
Mum: Do you have a drink?
Me: Yes, Mum. I have a drink.
*5 minutes later*
Mum: Do you have a drink?
Me: Yes, Mum. I have a drink.
*5 minutes later*
Mum: Do you have a drink?
Me: Yes, Mum. I have a drink.

STOP ASKING ALREADY!!!!
My mum worries about me so much, that she thinks I'm going to die of dehydration if I don't drink an entire glass every 5 minutes!

Does she want me to constantly wet myself or something? She doesn't even bother to spend a few seconds and use her damn eyes to see for herself if I have a drink or not.
Just because I can't reach the sink and get my own drinks, that doesn't mean I'm going to die of dehydration.

She also overreacts sometimes when I'm singing.
She always worries when I do the "OW!" part at the beginning of the Shania Twain song That Don't Impress Me Much, even when I'm playing the song loud enough for her to hear that Shania Twain said it at the same time as me. I always insist that I haven't hurt myself, but she still overreacts every time. I even put on an American accent when I say it to make it more, if not blatantly, obvious!

I like a song by Imagination Movers called Jump Up, which I sing to while playing the mp3 I downloaded. My mum always ruins it.

Me (singing): A little softer please.
*Mum talks quieter*
Me (singing): A little louder please.
Mum: Make up your mind!

I often think my mum has some kind of psychological disorder.

I keep having nightmares.

There is someone I used to know at the hostel I used to go to. He has the mind of a 2 year old (if that!) even though he is about 60 or something. He randomly tickled me while digging his nails in, just because he thought it was funny. He also looked at me in such a way that made me feel like he was the sort of person who would rape me in my sleep!

Whenever I'm tickled, I find it excruciatingly painful and I can't breathe.

Lately, I've been having nightmares about him breaking into my house and raping me while I'm in bed, and tickling me to prevent me from calling for help.

I feel like I'm starting to have a major mental breakdown. I don't know what to do about it. I'm finding it hard to sleep.

My mum talks too quickly for her brain to catch up!

What she does is she puts together the first half of what she plans to say in her mind, and says it while she starts putting the second half together.

Before her brain can properly put the second half of her sentence together, she is finished saying the first half. Annoyingly, the first half of her sentence typically ends with an "or" or an "and", so she just stops mid-sentence in a stupid way.

As you might expect, the people she is talking to will typically ask "Or what? or "And what?", and then she complains because she hasn't finished talking yet.

She will also sometimes ask two questions at once with contradictory answers. For example, I'll go back to the "Do you have a drink?" thing that I've discussed before.

She will ask "Do you want a drink do you have a drink?". She expects me to give her a single word answer.

I'll sometimes answer "Yes no" or " No yes" depending on the order of the questions and the resulting answer, and then she asks "Well, which one is it then?" which really annoys me.

There are other times when she asks me to do two different things at the same time, and sometimes two contradictory things at that. If I do the first thing she asked, she is annoyed because I didn't do the second thing she asked. If I do the second thing she asked, she is annoyed because I didn't do the first thing she asked.

What can do I do with her to make her aware of these things? I've tried to do something about it before, but she keeps saying that I'm being rude.

Gonna revive this to say that currently my grades in college are not as great as I desire. Some of it does fall on me, but not all of it is my fault. I ran out of my anxiety meds and waited over a month expecting more before I had a breakdown right before my visit home. I got restocked but it takes a while for the medication to fully get into my system. So right now, everything feels like a fight. Plus I may be changing doctors and psychiatrists soon and being tested for depression as well.

I'm fearing the worst and hoping for the best at the same time.

The worst would probably be some kind of cancer. The best would be a stomach virus that some medication can sort out.

 Genuinely developing a great loathing for customers who'll go out of their way to make my job harder when there's no need for it.

 Had a customer doubt and challenge me whilst putting their order through and then after demanding a receipt, they stood there for ages reading through the thing to see if I made any mistakes. It's actually pretty insulting and usually leads to me leaving them until last if I can't just not serve them.

My mum has no understanding of how singing works.

When I'm singing a song I like, which is typically a boy band song, my mum complains I'm singing too deep and that I should sing in a different key. She doesn't understand that when singing at the same time a song is playing, you have to match the key, or else it sounds stupid.

Then she tells me to sing in a different octave, but when I do, she complains that I'm singing too high!

I just can't enjoy singing when my mum is around.

Edit: My grandma annoys me a bit too.

She replaces pretty much every noun with Thingymajig every time she talks.

"I went to the Thingymajig (shop) and met Thingymajig (her friend) the other day. She told me her Thingymajig (daughter) was invited to a Thingymajig (party) at her Thingymajig's (friend's) house."

She will then ask "Do you know what I'm talking about?" and we all scratch our heads trying to work it out!

honestly when she starts to complain id keep the same tune but replace all the lyrics in the song with "shut uuuuup shut uuuuuup" but that might not go down well so maybe dont do it perhaps.

i guess this is me being sympathy annoyed that ppl cant just let other people sing for the sake of singing and not treat it like theyre one of the judges on x factor. when im prime minister criticising peoples singing will be illegal,

hello shaymins ghost. rip that you died but welcome to the forums,

also want 2 say whiskey is Good. i used to hate it but i bought mid shelf supermarket own brand (dog turd whiskey basically) and was like "why is this so hard to get into, who poisoned the whiskey". once i got a few good single malts bought for me for bdays etc it was one of the best things in the world but i cant drink anymore because im an epilepsy now and i miss it A LOT.

flowers & horticulture kind of fills that gap tho cos i dont want people to think im sittin here bein miserable all day cos i cant drink whiskey or whatever cos thats a bad look,

Oof all we need is for someone to put some orange cordial into their whiskey and we've completed the holy trinity of awful things to put into whiskey.

we'll call it "the unholy trinity". watch it actually take off and be a huge success like those godawful saisons and them dumbass canned craft IPAs with crap like cumin and ambergris in them

The reason I refuse to eat it is because as soon as someone mentions it, I imagine a mouse that has been poisoned to death by being force fed washing powder!

Could imagine reddit drinking them even tho it's rank to try and display the prowess of their palette to other redditors ngl like the Rick and Morty memes about requiring a certain IQ to understand the subtle humour.

Lowkey always figured that IPAs were like the pumpkin spice drink memes but for dudes aha never touched them tho they look too hipster to me.

 hey yeh!!!!!!!!!! you make a good point, they literally are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! people dunk on the pumpkin spice ppl (including me) but "corn and plum" IPAs are literally no different!!!! they just get away with it for the usual obvious reasons,

oof never tried lemonade! People get it with brandy a lot but it could be a neat lil combo there. The last time I used ginger ale as a mixer was the time when I finished an entire bottle of a Jim Beam copy and it just hurts to think about aha.

lmao what was worse the fact it was an entire bottle or that it was Jim Bean. or both

Yee the skittles vodka sounds really fun ngl with all the snazzy bottles but they've done a truckload of gins now to keep up with the craze like there's parmaviolets, turkish delight, marshmallow, and loads more now but the parmaviolets one is really good

man what even makes a gin??????? is it just a bunch of botanicals?????? internet says that juniper has to be an ingredient but i seen ppl just make any old flower and call it gin?

lol speaking of, i made this kind of lavender/vanilla/honey faux-gin thing for me mam for a present but it developed this dark green gunk at the bottom (possibly waxes or amino acids from the honey) and it was totally ungiftable looking as a resullt despite tastin nice, well i thought anyway.
 
also green gunk ghost notwithstanding it smelt like some sorta fruity eau de parfum and it was kind of like being an alcoholic in the harrods cologne aisle or something despite the nice taste so its just sat in my cupboard for a year lol. and i got so depressed about it i havent tried anything since,

straight whisky is nice but then again i just enjoy any alcohol that tastes like pure gasoline. if its not burning my stomach ulcers its not good.

i have a few problems...... most of them are work related like i just hate working with the public but also like....... now i have my thyroid out and im living life without having to work around the huge tumour in my neck that obstructs breathing and eating.... i decided to go back on T because i realised by thinking real hard that "im okay with androgyny" was just a way of saying "ill settle for androgyny because being on hrt might kill me  from the thyroid outwards" but now im like...... really trying to look after my skin bc its just bad but how am i meant to look after my skin when T will make me a greasy spotty ass anyway?

not to mention nobody will give me it because for some reason it was never actually added to my prescription. no wonder my body is a mess, i gave it 2 doses of Raw Hormones in a month then cut it off for 8 months.

the plus side is i got a haircut and now people at work are back to assuming im a guy again. i got called Miss and Lady and Maam constantly and it really bothered me more than i thought it would. like once or twice a week i could handle bc i never left the damn house but now im faced with it constantly and im like wow thats not nice. doesnt help that one of my coworkers has my deadname so i hear that like every 10 seconds and im like (:

anyway i stopped logging in to tumblr as much and this is the outcome. i realise my art has stagnated because i only did what tumblr liked which is a horrible idea and i also realised nobodys gonna call me he/him if i look like a lesbian on purpose. having to re-learn a bunch of things at 25 and begin my life at the same age while looking like an awkward teenage boy is so messy but at least my neck isnt swollen so people dont look at me funny and at least i stopped before i landed myself a kiwi farms thread

The problem is my self esteem/confidence etc etc is awful just now so it’s putting me off even applying for anything in the first place 🙃

 Could lowkey imagine that lol "the beard dandruff gives it a certain zest that you tastlets can't grasp" with the next post being some dude making a mustard gas IPA and everyone's like "yeh go for it bro" *tips IPA*.

 
hey yeh!!!!!!!!!! you make a good point, they literally are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! people dunk on the pumpkin spice ppl (including me) but "corn and plum" IPAs are literally no different!!!! they just get away with it for the usual obvious reasons,

 We serve canned IPAs at work and tonight, for the first time, I found a megatonne of empty IPA bottles/cans (I had to restock a tonne) but all the bottles were outside for vape privileges so they're defo the same aha

 
lmao what was worse the fact it was an entire bottle or that it was Jim Bean. or both

 ahhh it's not too bad! The name tho was pretty tragic ngl it was Aldi's "Clarks" which idk about you gives me flashbacks to those "back to school" shoe adverts which always made my anxiety go up to 11 lol. Drinking an entire bottle with ginger ale permanently put me off ginger though aha

I'm a real ale kind of guy, which has a certain type of irony attached.

 Ahhhhh! Real ales are probs my fave to do pour ngl have you tried anything from Boss Brewery? Always wanted to try them but whenever I'm up for it there's only Pecker Wrecker or something with a really bland label.



 Soz for late replies #ladz I've been ill so I've just been lurking. Did a decent amount of reading tho, has anyone read 'I Am Legend' it's such an improvement from the film ngl it was pretty good. Like the film doesn't really do the book justice. In all honesty, I didn't realise the baddies were vampires until I read the book.

I went to a meeting with my dad yesterday, to discuss my disability benefits, among other things.

At some point during the meeting, the subject of my anti-epilepsy medication came up. Ever since I started taking it, I've been feeling much happier, and I had no idea why.

Until now!

My dad said that my medication also worked as an anti-depressant, which I consider to be "artificial happiness" in a way. My medication is the reason why I've been happier these last couple of years. When I found that out, I felt like I've been living a lie this whole time.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain that drug-induced happiness was considered a bad thing. It depends on the circumstances, I suppose.

Ironic, isn't it? My medication has been making me feel happier........ and I'm not happy about it!

 There's definitely a mango IPA floating around if that'll tickle your fancy? Haven't seen a blueberry one around here though either.

 

 
 Currently periodically deaf in one ear and it only ever seems to be when I've got a shift. I'll have to make an appointment with the doctors but it's such an unpleasant hassle these days.

 It also feels as if I'm always doing more work than everyone else on my shift and it's really getting under my skin. It bothers me because the amount of work I put in isn't appreciated but everyone would whinge and complain if I called in sick and they actually had to step up. I stopped playing online FPS games because I was sick of carrying my team and now I'm stuck doing it irl.

 There's a ridiculous amount of tension at work at the moment with the older managers feuding with the younger managers and, all in all, walking on eggshells isn't fun. It feels like we've got a small-scale civil war going on. It's just something nobody needs right now.

What I find annoying is that the front page hasn’t been updated since ORAS came out. Literally two Generations have occurred with the latest just starting and we still have a Gen VI game being called “the latest games.” Everything on this site is dead. Sometimes I don’t even know why I bother to see if anything new has happened because of how inactive everything is.

 Maybe offer to update the site with your own articles? Could breathe some fresh life into things. (lol beat me to it)


 Set myself the goal of completing two warbands before Christmas and I've finished my Despoilers but now that I'm starting my Wild Hunt, I'm realising that I've burnt myself out. Like, I'm painting up a team of elves but I just want to start my next planned project which I'm really excited about.

 Idk, I just find elves to be boring.

I'm feeling invisible again. When my parents are babysitting, they COMPLETELY ignore me. I ask them to help me with something and they don't listen. As soon as they aren't babysitting anymore, they tell me that it is too late for me to be asking for help with anything. I might as well not exist.

When would be the best time to ask them to help me? Either they're babysitting while I'm at home, they're babysitting when I'm not at home, or they're sleeping.

I can't ask anyone to help me when they're sleeping!

 So I've entered this painting competition but I don't know what the prize is or what I'm up against. It's annoying because I'm doubting myself even though I'd say I'm good at what I do. I guess I'm just nervous because it's the first painting competition I've ever entered in. It was one of my New Year resolutions, though, so I'm glad to actually do it.

My 12 year old laptop is probably considered a first world problem.
(https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/yy297/Petzbreeder/0/Old%20Laptop%20Speccy.bmp)

Having something in my possession and not being able to give it a purpose as well.

People with autism (and me, though I'm not entirely sure if I'm on the spectrum) believe that inanimate objects have a personality and feelings. How would you feel if you woke up one day and were told that you no longer have a purpose in life?

laptop society has this thing where a little bit of the old laptop lives anew in the new laptop. if you dont have a laptop when the old one has to be decommisioned it just jumps into the tv or into a watch or a clock or whatever, anything mechanical* which aint currently awake yet will do and then its friends with the other stuff in the house. this is true cos i did science at uni

*if its the sabbath or youre amish it jumps into like the door or a piece of fruit hence the famous computer The Apple

 The painting competition that I entered was a massive disappointment.

 Second and third place went to guys who brought their mates in to vote for them. Both models were completely outdone by about half of the entries and the third model doesn't even look finished. I had a feeling that it would come down to who's part of the biggest clique but I'm annoyed that it actually came down to that.

 So many of us were robbed of an actual competition and I'm genuinely annoyed. I expected a painting competition and it turned out to be a popularity contest.

I can't use Xploder codes on Fire Red/Leaf Green. I can enter them, but they just wont work.

TNM suggested on Discord that I could have entered the codes incorrectly, but I didn't.

Check that you're using the codes for the correct version of the game. There are typically different codes for NA, EU and other regions. Most of the old code websites only provide codes for the USA cartridges.

I had an Xploder Advance back in the day and had similar issues. I believe this once again comes down to regional issues. Unlike R/S, there are two retail versions of FR/LG: 1.0 and 1.1. Most carts which shipped in the US held 1.0, but for the EU release they updated to 1.1. This changes code compatibility and typically anything advertised as for 'Gameshark' will only work on 1.0 carts. I had to dig around for a long time to find working codes, I suggest you try a deep dive into old google results.

My echo dot can't play this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS89g2-rnM0).

I considered the possibility that the song title was too long, so I tried to ask it in a couple of different ways:
Alexa, play Makin' My Way Any Way That I Can by Billie Piper.
Alexa, play Makin' My Way by Billie Piper.

Neither one worked.

It can't be because the song comes from a Pokemon soundtrack, because I've asked it to play a few others from the same soundtrack before.

I've even tried to get it to play it by using the lyrics. It still doesn't play it.

 I finished painting up this mini with a bad sculpt today. The last miniature I worked on was this really nice, clean, vampire sculpt that stank of 80s horror and painting it was honestly a breath of fresh air. This miniature just feels sorta off. The dog it came with was a really nice sculpt too.

 It still feels satisfying to finish up a mini though.

Microphones and external hard drives aren't all that expensive. I happen to have both myself.
Speaking of Youtube channels, I've been waiting ages to get started with mine, as my family have been moving our stuff to our new house recently.

 Yee, I was just going to get them at the end so that I'd have more time to research everything and figure out what I wanted to do with the channel.



 Completed The Last of Us 2 today and although the gameplay was fun, there's a lot of poor writing. It's like "Remember that guard you killed a few hours ago? SHE WAS A PERSON" and, like... you kill them in a cutscene in self-defence? I also saw something on Reddit about there being references to the Israeli/Palestine conflict in the game too?

 I dunno. The gameplay is great, the writing is poor, the story is messy, and it just feels like they relied too heavily on trying to make me feel bad for things that either happened in cutscenes or for things that I don't feel bad about.

My mum hates it when I label myself anything.

Me: Mum, I'm an alto. (My actual vocal range, as far as I can tell.)
Mum: You're not an alto.
Me: Ok then. I'm a contralto.
Mum: You're not a contralto.
Me: Fine. I'm a mezzo-soprano.
Mum: You're not a mezzo-soprano.
Me: The only other vocal range I can possibly have is soprano.
Mum: Your not a soprano.
Me: What am I then?
Mum: You're my daughter.

What kind of a response is that? My mum has recently made me feel like I'm nothing more to her than just a person she gave birth to.

I've recently seen evidence and have come to the conclusion that I may have autism or aspergers. When I told her and showed her the evidence, she didn't take kindly to that either.

It's not even just the changes made due to the 'rona.

 So, yeah. Might try and leave in January.

My bad memories are resurfacing again.

I need to find an effective way to explain to my mum that my french teachers were impossible to learn from.

I've found one way to give her a japanese lesson in the same way my teachers taught french. I'm not sure how she will react.

Welcome to your very first japanese lesson. Understand this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V9l31OFHl4). Are you fluent yet?

If I did this to my french teachers, they would probably hate me, not that they didn't before.

I have Insomnia and I hate it!

The Insomnia is caused by my Anti-Epilepsy medication which, as well as stopping my Epilepsy, works as an Anti-Depressant.

I'd rather die of an Epileptic seizure (Is that even possible?) than have Insomnia. Clearly, the Anti-Depressant aspect of my medication isn't working!

My medication also lowers the amount of Melatonin my body produces, which explains the Insomnia.

Less Melatonin means less sleep.
Less sleep means less dreams.
Less dreams means I can't talk to my subconscious about everything that is bothering me.

I love having Star Wars dreams. I sometimes feel that Obi Wan understands me better than anyone else that I know in real life! Whenever I tell anyone in real life about the things that are bothering me, they just push me away and ignore me.
