Money's money. Also, I just remembered that I'm pretty sure some dating sites offer exactly those services.

Being sick is sometimes bothersome.

I have a very small blister (?) on my toe. Whatever it is, it's warm, whitish surrounded by red, and very sensitive to touch. Experimentally tried busting it, that only made it swell and hurt more.

God damn, I legitimately need a magnifying glass for all the painful things that happen to my feet and toes.

[martinuzz]

if the red surrounding it expands, and is like a circle, you might have been bitten by a tick carrying lyme disease. In that case, visit the doctor ASAP, to get it treated before it turns chronic.
Although I don't think toes are a usual biting spot for ticks, so it's probably not that.

Damnit. I guess this is just a Mild Sad because at least now I can spend that money on other, more pressing things.
I still really want one of those. I'll have to see if any of my friends have shipping proxies (or whatever they're called) set up in the US.

Two Mild Sads:
1. There's something wrong with time synchronization on my computer. It seems to not update during the sleep or even when I play video games.

2. My mother wants to buy Prey, which is a game from Bethesda, and I decided to boycott Bethesda. Anyone knows how I can dissuade her from buying that shitty-ass game? I tried to talk with her about "voting with the wallet", but she seems to not understand that the rule extends to the publishers too, not just developers. We share the same account, if someone is curious why I don't want her to buy Prey.

Nevermind, we've come to an agreement: She can buy anything she wants on our old account, and she'll also have complete access to the games on my main account. Same for me having the access to the games on her account.

I've tried not to complain about my group projects this term because I gripes about them all last term, but I have reached my limit.

One of my group members can't use email. She literally cannot unless she's at home, where somebody probably foolproofed her computer for her.

The other can't add to Word documents. Never realized, in all the days we've worked on this, that she could open the document I sent and type her part after what I had written.

I think I can safely claim no fault for the fact it is now late.

Nuked. Didn't see mildly sad thread...

Don't you need a PAID version of MSOffice to be able to edit Word files? Or does OpenOffice allow for docx editing / conversion now?
I wouldn't know, because I stopped using Word the day MS decided to make it PAID. You used to get a full version of Office with a new computer in my days, nowadays you only get a 30 day trial version that nags you to buy it and bombards you with obnoxious trial version popups everytime you want to open a simple doc file.

[itisnotlogical]

Libreoffice can open docx, it's what I save offline documents as. Besides, the school gives you a free Office subscription.

I don't use M$ products (besides Windows itself) due to the constant account nagging. I'm surprised I can even use my keyboard or plug in headphones without signing in to a fucking Microsoft account.

That. Was the worst rain I've drove through in, like. Three or four years. Points where about two car lengths ahead was a solid wall of white, possibly/probably less. Could not see shit for most of it.

The minor sad, though. Whoever the hell you were, three people with one person worth of umbrella between you walking down that sidewalk, that will probably never see this. I am so, so sorry. I couldn't see shit, and so couldn't risk changing lanes. Couldn't really stop, because my personal condition has been getting steadily worse all day and the sooner I got home, the less likely I was going to end up killing people (only reason I was doing it is because the alternative was someone even worse suited to be driving doing it). And the wake kicking up behind non-semi vehicles was generally about the size of the vehicle itself, except a time or two wider. So I probably drenched you three even worse, adding on to the sequence of such events you were being subjected to. Feel pretty terrible about doing it. All can say is sorry. Wish I could've seen a way to not.

Need to exercise and cook and stuff but ugh, I am so tired. x_x

Trying to get to know the new roommate so she feels welcome and because I'm lonely in this city.

Its going pretty well but we have somewhat different perspectives that make it awkward.  She's said a few things that are vaguely offensive to me.  Like she said she heard the movie Split was pretty good and then got the mental illness of the villain wrong ("I think its bipolar disorder, or no wait... schizophrenia").  Then she showed me 3 episodes of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and while it was generally a good time the first episode I saw featured one of the main characters spiking a guy's drink with a date rape drug (for sitcom shenanigans of course).  I think if you're going to do black comedy like that you need to have a character react with horror or surprise show that, you know, even tho its happening its not normal behavior.  But eventually it was revealed what happened and even the victim wasn't bothered by the actual drink spiking itself.  The same episode also had a parody of pathetic college guys and one of the things that he revealed to show how pathetic he was an actual accommodation I got for a learning disability, so that was fun.

I mean I brushed it all off but the hangout was more awkward than fun.  I didn't talk much during the episode and I think my roommate may have caught on to that.

Screwed up pretty badly on my guitar final because I'm exhausted, going to bed at 1AM and getting up at 6AM every day for weeks will do that. I'd practiced the songs pretty well but just couldn't make my fingers work. Also, somebody started playing violin in the other room, right in the middle of my song. That threw me off pretty badly.

Just got done doing three people's worth of work for one class, after the class is technically over. We had to do a little evaluation for our group members, and I honestly wish I'd given them all zeros and asked for three times the value of the assignment. Moral of the story: fuck people, be more vindictive.
