Well, for me at least it's an issue when packing for a holiday because my luggage is sixty percent books by volume and more than that by mass.

[Yoink]

If you read really fast, the books you enjoy never last nearly long enough. It's quite sad.
And then I usually slow down a heap when the book in question isn't quite so interesting, so I wind up stuck in it for ages. >.>


My current mildsads: I started typing out a (possibly mild?) Sad yesterday, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it.
I suppose it kind of fell under the umbrella of "TMI", as well as being quite painfully fresh in my memory, but mostly it was just me being lazy. *Sigh*

Edit: Oh, and now I'm about to go to sleep. That's not so much a sad in itself, but I have no real desire to stay up late. Nothing to do whatsoever, really.
Nor do I have anything to look forward to tomorrow today. In fact the next thing I have to be enthusiastic about is on the 5th, when I can buy $5 burritos and beers from a chain of Mexican restaurants which I am reasonably fond of. Still, that's a few days off, yet. Hopefully I don't die of boredom before then.

When reading fiction, I'm really good at pacing myself, sometimes stopping for several minutes on one sentence to really savour all the emotion in and implications of it.

If only I had that ability for textbooks. I often find myself just skimming through them way too fast to take everything in. I think it's because textbook writers don't want to have anything between the lines, which, while making the text unambiguous, makes it an unchallenging read.

[chaotic skies]

I just read and comprehend stuff at the speed of sound, so if I sit on one sentence I get bored and normally stop reading for a while :V

[TheBiggerFish]

I read far too fast myself.

That's what ereaders are for though.

[TD1]

Oh dear lord.

The Stormlight Archive days of a few weeks ago.

No sleep.

I had an idea for a game that even I could theoretically finish creating, since it'd essentially be a graphical version of a text game I created years ago.

However, I lack any ability to create an appealing environment. I can't pull out a single still image that looks halfway presentable.

[Orange Wizard]

So much humblebragging

[TheBiggerFish]

Uuugh I've got gas in my stomach and I can't lay on it because ouch.  Why.

[Calidovi]

I feel like this thread will devolve into people undermining their very serious problems and posting them here in order to not seem dramatic. Mark my words.

[TheBiggerFish]

At which point I will still give them serious hugs anyway.

You cannot escape.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I've been meaning to ask, how can you give hugs with those short fish arms?

[TheBiggerFish]

Magic.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Bigby's Grasping Hands?

[TheBiggerFish]

No, Bigsby's Gently Hugging Arms.
