True.
So I just realized I'm back to my old summer sleep schedule of "Go to sleep at midnight if at all, sleep till 9" and just lay in bed all day doing nothing but waiting for threads to update and playing stupid browser games. I really am a boring person, aren't I?

[Yoink]

It's so goddamn cold my feet and hands are numb. I need to have a shower so I can go out this evening.
Gods help me. D:

In a week or so, there'll be a traditional gift-giving day that I qualify for. Everyone and their dog is asking me what I'd like. What I'd like is honest intentions: if people want to give me gifts, they should just give me gifts, regardless of whether it's Christmas or Tuesday. If they don't want to give me gifts, they should just not give me gifts. I'd be more appreciative of people being nice to me if they weren't obligated to by the calendar.

As someone who like giving gifts, I only give them out in holidays and only to people I'm close with because I can't afford to give everyone gifts every day.

My complaint is more on how the culture associated with gifts makes them feel dishonest. A gift's idea is that a person honestly wants to give something without asking for anything in return. Yet still we have occasions when people are practically obligated to give gifts since those who don't are shunned as tightwads. And since these specific occasions come by calendar rather than by need, even those who like giving gifts might have to give something useless and not afford something that the recipient would come to need later. For one, I don't need much right now but people still ask me for my wishes. For that matter, some of these are people who I hadn't been in touch for over a year. Were they actually interested in contacting me, or did they just feel obligated? I can't tell. Is there a winner here?

It's one thing to be good to another because you must, and another to do so because you truly want to. They may overlap, but the former easily hides the latter.

Am I complaining too much about how cold it is? I don't care, it's fucking cold.

The plan was to turn off the shower, do a quick half-arsed job of drying myself with the towel, then jump out of the cubicle and into some warm clothes (tracksuit pants, thermal undershirt, a jumper and a bathrobe/dressing gown) to warm up before actually getting dressed.
Now it's something like an hour or two later and I'm still sitting here in the same clothes, shivering.

Need to summon up an insane amount of motivation to actually get dressed and go catch the bus.
Getting late, too. I should really get going. Argh. Maybe some tequila will help.

I have a headcold. I feel like my skull has been inflated to near-bursting, then slooowly had all the pressure let out so that it aches as much as possible.

"HELLO MR POOR PERSON

YOU MUST COME TO A 3 HOUR SEMINAR ON WHY POOR PEOPLE ARE LAZY BASTARDS

OR WE WILL STOP HELPING YOU FIND A JOB

SIGNED,
DEPT. OF WORK AND INCOME"

Oh gee thanks, just what I wanted.

[Yoink]

Dang,  I know that feel.


Much more mild sad than my last not-so-mild mild sad: I got a lift off my friend, thus avoiding catching PT in the brutal cold, but he was on his way elsewhere and now I'm here really early, before any of my friends, which is awkward. Not only that, but the cheap drink specials start at the same time the bands do. Bugger.

[Frumple]

Okay, yes, ow, yes, body, I'm awake now, even if it is half past five in the morning. Please stop trying grind an icepick into the back of my eyeball. It hurts, and this is unpleasant. How the hell did you even get one back there. You don't have arms in there. Gods, I hope to fuck you don't have arms in there, because I don't think there's room for them and the brain at the same time and I need those brainmeats.

Also fucking summer is clearly getting closer. Fuck fucking summer and its goddamn daystar getting up in everyone's grill at unholy hours. One day, sun! One day, we're going to dyson sphere your ass and then the earth will no longer have to take your shit.

[itisnotlogical]

Went to bed at 5 AM, got up at noon, and have work from 4 to midnight. I'm gonna die. Figuratively.

[Shook]

Well shit, that doesn't sound very uh... Desirable. Hang tight yo, and more importantly, hang on to your cup of coffee!

@Frumple: wot de hell

uh

Why's your eye hurting? I mean, i've had an eye ache (... and headache, and jaw ache, it was bad enough that i couldn't even stand to play Super Mario 64) due to a nasty flu before, but that was more of a "my eyeballs are on fire" pain than "my eyeball is being mined by glacial dorfs". In any case, get well soon. :<
As for the sun, well, a totally opaque rolling curtain has done wonders for me and my sleep (i sleep VERY LIGHTLY and have an east-facing window). It's a decent substitute for a Dyson sphere until we get one up and running.

also i was going to ramble about how my bowels were messing up my night by being terrible but that seems to have sorted itself out for now so hooray??

still bothers me that i have to deal with this kind of discomfort so often though

HURRY UP MEDICALLY ORIENTED SCIENCEMANCERS PLS

I went to bed with a stomach ache of some time, myself. Guess it's something wrong with my digestion and/or diet.
Feeling alright this morning, although I need to eat a lot of FREE TACOS today (not to mention drink plenty of cheap booze) so I hope whatever-it-was doesn't make a return. Maybe I should poop before I head off in search of tacos. I don't really like starting the day with poop, though. Unless I take a shower afterwards and I'm not sure I like the sound of that, either.

[Shook]

Could be a lot of things, where IBS is among the most benign (although worth noting is that both alcohol and capsaicin aggravates my case). Poking a doctor about it isn't a bad idea at all (after all, it could be something treatable), but at the very least make sure to contact one post-haste if you get blood from unsavory places, since that would hint at something less benign. :I (... or haemorrhoids)

But hey, free tacos, i wouldn't say no to that either. Here's hoping you'll be fine!

[Tawa]

Ugh, stupid sore throat. I hate you, sore throat. May you burn in infinite hells after my immune system systematically destroys every last one of your kind.
