I like winter because other human beings are miserable and I'm kind of a sicko like that

If Minimal Acceptable Social Attire is ever too hot, you're either living in an oven or the Middle East.
Otherwise, you can just sweat more! It'll be great fun. The only danger is chafing that can occur in extreme cases, so be sure to wear comfy pants.  

Yeah, I love summer. The one thing I don't like about it is having to wear short sleeves or else receive strange looks.
It wouldn't be so bad if t-shirts that fit me properly in the arms weren't so damn rare... or if I had the confidence (or large arms!) required to hack the sleeves off my shirts and strut around without 'em. That'd be pretty cool.


...Oh yeah, forgot to include my actual Mildsad when I made this post.
I've been staying up far too late playing videogames far too often lately. Today I went to bed at around ten or eleven AM and woke up at dusk, if I remember correctly. And right now I'm feeling kinda tired, but at the same time I want to do it again. A plan occurred to me earlier, where I could just stay up playing games and drinking energy drink until the sun comes up, then do my laundry (which I really need to get done and dried tomorrow), hang it out and then crash.

I know I should just eat the pasta I'm cooking now and then go to sleep, but... I doubt that will happen.

Maybe you can. I can't. Literally, physically can't, in spots. Which feels approximately like someone covered a bunch of ants in itch powder, then let them loose under your skin. And you can't scratch it, or it'll spread.

this is basically the best music thing i've ever done

it's just a cleanup and extrapolation of this thing

well and maybe this improv over a song i cannot remember the name of that I was listening to for the first time as I played over it, but that's sort of shit in comparison lol

Ugh. I've gotten a really nice feeling for how hypocritical people can be through years of being berated for interrupting people and subsequently being interrupted multiple times.

[Shook]

Oh man, that reminds me of how frequently i've berated my brother for not closing the door after him, and then he catches me doing the exact same thing absent-mindedly (to which i had to admit my hypocrisy). In my own defense though, he cares a lot less about open doors than i do, and i mostly care because i feel exposed with an open door that provides direct view to my monitor (that, and COLD AIR). Dude knows i'm an anxious fellow, but i don't think he knows the full extent of it. :v

also it saddens me mildly that waking up early generally leaves me too tired to doodle things at night

:C

I'd doodle during the day, but i dunno, it just doesn't quite feel right yet. I may be able to act casual about it, but the fact of the matter is that it's still a very intense experience for me, so maybe i should just go full reclusive artist and staunchly refuse to art around other people. :U (either that, or i need to get used to it)

I tried to get my box copy of Civilization IV to run on Windows 7. I couldn't.

It runs fine for me.

Admittedly mine's pirated (after I lost the disc) but it can't be that different.

[IcyTea31]

According to the fora I browsed while trying, it's horribly inconsistent and what works for someone might not work for someone else. Right there's no obvious reason it shouldn't work, but it just doesn't, not even giving me an error message on startup.

[Orange Wizard]

Weird.

This is gonna be an odd post, where I'm envious of somebody that is dead: I'd been reading the autobiography of Peter Drucker, and how he grew up in Pre, during, and post World War I Austria, and I'm only about a fourth or fifth of the way through the book, but his life has been so extremely rich in culture and experience, so well-staffed with a cast of interesting and accomplished people that supported and encouraged him, so... seminal, in the sense the he's in a period where so much amazing historical stuff is happening all around him, and a lot of tragic stuff is happening as well, but it's the era where the the modern world is finally getting a feel for itself, and he gets to be part of this mass revolution of technology, and intellectualism, and society, and culture, that is happening not just in Europe but in America as well and he gets to see it evolve so drastically right in front of his eyes. I'm awed and envious, I'm legitimately saddened that my life so far has been so non-consequential and so irrelevant in comparison, I live in an era that just seems so plainly dull, furtive, and irrational by comparison. It feels like he just lived in an era where individual people were just at the perfect place and perfect time to become great and had the opportunity to steer history singlehandedly.

I might just be infected with terrible bias and lack of perspective, but I've always felt like I was just born in the wrong era, and this book paints a picture of a world in the throes of a golden age that I missed out on by some 90-100 years, and it kinda breaks my heart.

I am far more hungover than I expected to be this mor- uh, today.
Woke up at 1pm and my nostrils feel like Satan jizzed in 'em.


Edit: whoops, meant to post this in the WTF thread.
I guess that counts as a mild sad.

Nobody really knows the full impact of their actions in their current era. They work with what they can do, and perceive for both present and future :3 I believe you can better your place, even if it seems little in comparison to the epic books you read about historical people in the world--'little' can't define the exact amount of effort you impact those around you and your environment; the contribution of many people is in stability and ensuring others can pave way to continually aid progress for the future, and that's also impactful in itself.

But I can relate to those feelings. >_< Must be my self-esteem though, because I sometimes have had the tendency to compare before using what I read and see as something motivational.

...Reminded of my grandparents while typing the above, as in how impactful their lives were (both lived through the end of WWII in Asia, and worked with the change in recovery from the war) ._. They, and by further fact, my parents, have never thought of seeing their present lives as already something to be compared with. Like when asked about his plans (my dad is ~67, and a very inspirational person), he mentioned that 'I've only got a short time to live in the next few years, I want to do something with it ' ...while giving me a pat on my shoulder.

Reminds me how little time I got to know my grandparents--probably because of being adopted and all with the age gap x3 but mmh. Am taking this in an inspirational way, but also giving acknowledgement that it saddened me a bit more than I thought it would last.

I haven't been drinking nearly as much as usual lately, and I think it has lessened my alcohol tolerance.
This is quite an awful hangover... and I have to interact with people. Not as fun as it should be.

Methinks I should have saved getting totally wasted for the second night of this two-day fest, not the first.
Can't afford much hair of the dog, either.

[SOLDIER First]

I just realized that when I brought my Wii U over to my new house, I forgot all the stands for it.
And the sensor bar.
...And the two games that came with the Deluxe Edition.
.....And I don't know where anything except one of the games is.
