That's the spirit! Emmmm, kinda. Trying is anyway

No, the spirit will be vodka, which is apparently my drink.

My chief problem is that I'm innately hopeful, but also savagely pessimistic realistic about how the world works.  I feel like I'm the main character in a story that the universe cares about, but I know that we live in a vast, uncaring existence where I have no special value, and good things aren't going to drop into my lap by pure chance, just when I need them.

I prefer realism in my video games, not in my life.

Shit, this is p. much exactly what I was gonna say to Scriver before scrolling down. o__o
You can do it, Scriver. Make the biggest arse of yourself imaginable. Alternatively, salvage the situation through suavity and charm.

Gosh, this is disturbingly relatable.
I've no idea what day/time it currently is in your particular timezone, but good luck!

Since we’re on this train of thought, I should probably mention that just because she says yes doesn’t mean that a date is actually going to happen. She could give you a fake number, she could mysteriously not show up, she could cancel and say that she’s busy, all sorts of things. The key to not becoming an emotional wreck is it to continue to hold low expectations until she physically shows up. Then you can relax and finally enjoy yourself. Do not hype yourself up. I made this mistake less than a week ago so I feel like I know what I’m talking about.

If the worst does happen, just accept it. Don’t fight for it. Don’t try to change her mind, don’t try to reschedule for a more convienient time (unless you genuinely believe that she wants to hang out with you), don’t try to convince her to be more considerate to guys in the future. Nothing will ever come from it. Leave it be and move on with your life.

I wake up miserable. I thought I'd be okay tonight since I got to bed on time and I got a lot of sleep. I was wrong. Of course when I comfort eat I feel all better cause I'm a pathetic creature no better than the brainless slugs and anemones that scour the ocean floor, not thinking or feeling but just living their lives and consuming and growing until they pass on their genes or not, and then die. Just a creature that is lorded over by biology and chemicals that I can barely fight against on my best days. This is why I can't touch any substances, I'd get addicted instantly.

I said a while ago that I want to destroy my life. That sentiment has been echoing around in my head since then, just to smash my life against the ground like a shitty worthless thing. I just wish I could just go insane, or that I'd get into some kind of accident and hospitalized, or get the utter shit beaten out of me by somebody. There's nothing materially wrong with my life, I just get the feeling all the time of "I'm not tired, but I don't want to be awake." which naturally escalates to "I don't want to be dead, I just don't want to be alive." (Don't even bring up anything about suicide, I don't want to hear it. Just shut up.)

I just don't know  what to do with myself. I don't know what to do. I don't know what I should be aiming for. The future is so unappealing, I just don't want it.

[Jopax]

Blergh, it's 6 AM and I cannot for the life of me fall asleep :V

[Yoink]

I don't know what I should be aiming for. The future is so unappealing, I just don't want it.

For real, though.


In other news, I have spent the entire day doing basically nothing but play Drawception. Nope, didn't go to any of the gigs I'd hoped to go to. Didn't catch up with friends. Didn't even... oh lawd I forgot to do the freaking washing! Ugh, what a day.
At least Drawception counts as a creative pursuit. Otherwise I would be able to describe today as entirely unproductive (apart from the toastie I cooked, I guess).   

[Reelya]

Dog nappies

[Yoink]

Yeah, and then once you've done a few dog nappies you can start your own dog-fighting ring!

...

.....Wait, nevermind.


Seriously though, my heart goes out to that poor doggo and their digestive tract.   

[Yoink]

ARGH IT RAINED ON MY WASHING! GOD DAMNIT, GOD!
Seriously couldn't you hold it for just a couple more hours? How much friggin' rain do we need?!

For whatever reason, he likes to try chewing on one of the cats' ears after having eaten his dinner. The cat's pretty patient and generally enjoys the companionship, but it snaps back after a few minutes.

Aww, that's ridiculously cute. Reminds me of the cats at my mum's place - one of them is this grouchy, violent old-ish fella who will terrorise human and cat alike if they get on his nerves or linger too close, the other is this cute-as-the-dickens mischievous little fluffball who loves to get him riled up. Gosh, I could fill a whole subforum with stories of their adorable interactions.   
At some point though, she (fluffball) got into this very odd habit, a behaviour I can't remember ever seeing in cats before: running up to the other cat whenever he comes in and biting him gently on the neck, like as a greeting. It was very strange, but even more bizarre was the fact that he stands there and tolerates it!

Ridiculously cute indeed. Recently though he seems to have taken to returning her greetings with a similar bite of his own, although I don't think he's quite as gentle since she usually recoils and smacks him in the face after a second. So cute.

One can use a box fan, and string indoors, you know.

A friend of mine hangs t-shirts to dry on the curtain rod in his spare bathroom. Things like that.  You just don't get the sanitizing sunlight.

[Rockeater]

I hate it when my hoses that knew the system is screwed up and stupid leave and other people come and think it's my fault that things aren't moving.

Yes (or atleast a thread, maybe revive the cute thread)
