I am going to be cleaning something I've been putting off cleaning for a while. Hopefully everything will go fine. Only real worry is that I make it worse before I can get it cleaned. Meeeh. If there's a mildly annoyed thread, point me to it.

Also, grandparent's bird is apparently going to be brought back to the house on tuesday. Hopefully he gets along well with out bird. If not, we might have to keep them separated.

Of course, now that it's fall and I thought I was in the clear, the sun comes out and all my summer allergies get irritated.

Even when it's not summer, summer finds a way to ruin my day.

My little brother brought home his new girlfriend and she seems really sweet and cute and enjoys riding horses and I'm super jealous again

I think I'm gonna have to invest in a gamepad for my laptop with all the computer gaming I've been doing lately.
After playing various games, Brawhalla being the worst culprit, for most of today I had a rather sore hand, as though there was a strained tendon/nerve or something on the back of it by the index finger. Guess my hands aren't used to such intensive keyboard-based button-mashing.

Oddly enough it seems to have stopped hurting after playing a different fighting game (this one more of a beat 'em up) for a while just now.

Edit: I just turned down a beer, because I don't want to act too friendly/thankful towards the person offering it since they're probably the most troublesome of my awful housemates. I turned down a beer. And the beer in question is one of my oldest favourites, too. I was practically weaned on the stuff. ;_;

Who knows, I'll probably have relaxed my stance on the matter tomorrow. Not really in beer-mode now anyway, I was about to go to sleep.

I've come to the conclusion that people who say things like "only talk when you have something important to say" are talking out of their arses. Everyone only notices when I do talk, not when I'm silent and I'm quiet quite a bit. I might just stop talking (and eating but that's another complaint in the line of worthless whinging I've been doing my entire life) since everyone just complains when I do.

Yes, people saying such things are indeed talking out their arses.
I doubt much of what such people say counts as "important" anyway, so they are hypocrites as well as mean jerks.   

Don't stop talking because people "complain" when you do, just find better people to talk to. *shrug*

Term just started yesterday and I'm already totally checked out of all my classes.

I've noticed that 'everyone' seems to be the common replacement of 'people I interact with a lot, usually daily. Or in the least "Many people" within my experience' rather than actually, literally everyone. :O I take things literally like that and think about them

But you can offer questions back, like ask why they say that or what do they mean? (eg Inquire towards specifics, ask them directly their thoughts towards what you do mention and otherwise). I've noticed that many times, in the English language, taking everything literally causes misunderstandings as some words are more towards 'this certain instance' in common casual communication nowadays o_O
Especially if those words are restrictive in their feeling. Like that bit above.

I prefer to pull the "important" out of that particular saying, life would be fucking dull if we were only allowed to say important things. In fact, i'm bad at saying important things, i'm much better at being a fountain of ramblings. Hell, let's just say "talk when you feel like it and it isn't inappropriate", we didn't get vocal chords so we could sit around in silence. :v

Also, i decided not to go to Flensburg after all. Yeah, i might be missing out on a few good experiences and interactions with my friends, but honestly, i feel better this way. I know it's probably just me being a weirdo, but i don't really like travelling, it makes me nervous and i find it stressful. Basically, a travel that i don't care for, to a place i don't particularly care for beyond normal, to do research that i don't care for, for a board game that i only care for in the sense that it's a group effort and i don't want to let the others down. Adding to that, we'll be sleeping over there, and i'll likely sleep badly, have a cranky stomach in the morning, and generally have very limited toilet access during the day.

Now, i've learned to deal with my bowels and travel nerves, but only if i think i'll have a good time in between that. With this, i felt like i was just going to go around thinking "when are we doneeeeeeeeee" all day, and that's not a good time. It's thankfully technically optional, but i do have to find something else to do in the mean time that's not just chillin'. I expected that, and i'm okay with it.

Just smashed a two-pack of chocolate mousse for no reason other than that they were on special at the supermarket.
And I have a large bag of (delicious) crisps that I will probably wind up eating before long, too... at least I didn't eat much today.

Comfort eating sucks. I'm too nervous about money to shell out for a proper load of groceries, so I just end up buying a few items of junk food and binging on that instead. Great going, self, we're all real impressed.

Came down suddenly with a pretty severe cold, just in time to last through my entire fall break and disappear shortly after I get back to work.

My course requires Vista Higher Learning, which means buying a brand new textbook for almost $300 so I can get the access code. I log onto the website to watch a video, the subtitles are already desynced and the video is 240p. The HD option desyncs the audio as well as the subtitles.

I paid $300 for sub-Pornhub quality video streaming.

The toilet here is malfunctioning, requiring the user to manually turn the water supply to the cistern on and off before and after using it, we've run out of toilet paper (I only discovered we were running low when I rushed in there to poop), and now I'm told that the kettle blew up today. Good grief.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

What is broken?

It's gross, but you can use a nearby sink to clean your butt if necessary.

oooooooooooooofffff

Bowels cranky. I'm starting to wonder if it's actually fatty foods that set them off, because yesterday i ate a sizable amount of bacon crisps, and those most certainly aren't low on fat. This would explain why chowing down thousands of sweets rarely does more than give me the usual "i have eaten too much candy" bellyache, since they're basically just sugar and no fat. It would also explain why my capacity for chocolate isn't as high as i would like. Maybe this is something i should poke the doctor about, since it's kind of new info, and may lead towards a treatment. :I
