Getting linked to this thread from the sad thread and noticing there are 1000 more pages than the melancholy version has made me happy.

Also pulled an all nighter last night and took a bike ride at about 5, just in time to arrive at a cliff overlooking my city with the sun making a beautiful orange silhouette out of the buildings in the distance.

Woke up without a hangover and my house is tidy. Birthday was awesome. Go downstairs to find that Laughing Stock by Talk Talk has arrived in the post. Re-read the quest I'm writing and think "actually, this isn't bad".

Today is off to a GREAT start :D

On the subject of Scandinavia and the world, I started reading and all the jokes are flying over my head, except the end of this comic, where I burst out laughing. I'm pretty sure every country gets like that (even america, only because it doesn't really do this whole world friendship thing, it does it state to state).

... I cannot believe what my mind comes up with at 2 AM.  I just finished fixing the first draft of a short story I turned in to German class.  We were supposed to write a paragraph-long fairy tale, and I ended up with a two.5-page thing about a Chemistry student who learns how to cook and stop being hugely grumpy after being unsuccessfully psychoanalyzed by her thesis advisor, which sends her into a depression (she wanted a sort of "get cooking fast" instruction, being incredibly dependent on her "Doktorvater" for everything, and he said something about how weird it is for a chemistry student to be unable to cook and told her she must be afraid of cooking because she's afraid of chemistry).  So she sleeps all day, fixes her sleep deficit, and is then able to be proactive.

There's also a character named "Sellerella."  She's a door-to-door salesman who our protagonist cusses out.

I come up with all kinds of stories late at night, I wrote a chunk of a short story about a guy who falls in love with a servitor last night, which was a reinvention of another story I wrote a chunk off of, where the servitor was a zombie... it's less creepy than it sounds the way I depicted the zombie...

After a series of sleeping in past noon for the past few days, I must've gotten out of my system what has been plaguing me, and actually woke up at a decent hour again (sleep schedule hasn't changed one bit the entire time). I also feel like taking a walk for a while anyway, since the past few days were rather gloomy and depressing looking, today's actually sunny and pleasant, though there are still some storm clouds on the horizon.

I also completed a good cluster of missions in FO3 in a short amount of time, and thrashed a good amount of mirelurks with a rather early (still; lvl 7 when I killed a deathclaw and got some blueprints; it was wounded when I reached it. Poor bastard it tore up.) deathclaw gauntlet. Although paranoid whenever I walk the area I found it, I at least know I have a fighting chance against one hand-to-hand now. Oh, and how much use I got out of that gauntlet so far. Beats the hell out of the power fist (backup). Did I forget to mention my character is optimized for ranged (small guns) combat, and is literally beating the hell out of everything in their path?

Oh yeah, I also came across a strange (darkly amusing) bug, a recent kill of a 1-time character, and a post-mortem de-capping, somehow produced 2 heads of the same guy. Actually, I placed his head on display to scare the local lab techs, and I returned after some exploring to find his head miraculously reattached, only to realize his other head was still on display. I took a moment to put them both on display. I was kinda hoping to spawn about 6 more and bring a duffel bag with me when I return. Sadly, no, it didn't happen.

EDIT:
Realizing I have an apparently dark sense of humor, I would assume most of the High Octane Nightmare Fuel loaded in FO3 and many other games, I will somehow find something to distract me from the horrors, and have fun screwing around instead, or at least finding something amusing within the terrors. I mean, the deathclaw hand; people are terrified of those things (Deathclaws; sneaky bastards), I was startled seeing it in 3D (beat Fallout 1 before), but then I punched off it's head (power fist) and have it's claw as my new weapon. What's so scary about that? And even with STALKER, sure, the environment is creepy, but one can't help but to smile hearing some poor sap getting mauled by an anomaly in the distance, especially if it's a wild hog, bloodsucker/snork/controller or a monolith member/bandit; okay, so just about anything annoying to fight stupid enough to get caught in an anomaly.

The stream-of-consciousness leaps I've made when exhausted are always pretty fun in retrospect. I remember falling asleep at my desk, on top of a high school Latin etymology project. When I woke up, I found that I'd apparently finished it between sleeping through the night. Instead of defining the words' origins though, I started drawing pictures representing their meaning, which got more and more abstract until half of a picture of a "bilious" badger exploded into so many jagged, angry lines.

If I recall correctly, I want to say I turned it in, but I can only imagine my teacher assuming I was high on all the drugs.

I have been really depressed for so long, so permanently.

And so, suddenly, earlier today, I realized that.. I don't want to die. Despite what I have told myself for a long time, I don't want to die. I want to chat to people, meet people, party, walk in the night, watch the moon, read all the books, call people and tell them I love them and that I'm sorry. I can't express myself very well. But I don't want to die.

I don't know what it means or will mean, or how tomorrow looks, but right now, I want to live.

You may need a catchy song to go with it... I suggest a death metal tune.
Seconded. Although, I was hoping for Death Metal with the same theme as the Nyan Cat song. "URG URG URG URG URG! *blastbeat*"
Your wish is my command.

Reading things like this make me happy.  Nobody wants you to be depressed, or to die.  :D

Technically, some terrorists would love it if you die, but they're like that to anyone that doesn't think the way they do.

A dwarven child in a mood did some pummeling to an ettin. Then he went berserk. I doubt he will win, but he might make it hurt for the ettin.

Addenum: whoah, it slipped into my fortress, but my orthopedic surgeon managed to trip him, and he fell into the 10 Z levels deep artificial pond. It's drowning as I type
