I'm probably goin to be driving down to Pontiac to see a friend I haven't seen in forever now. Making big drives across the state makes me very very nervous, but the worst that can happen is that I get lost I guess.

Or die in an accident in unfamiliar territory, that's actually probably the worst that can happen, but oh well.

or get kidnapped by white supremacists and forced to cook meth for them.

That too.

Or get cooked alive by a crazed cannibal woman. I had a dream like that once...

mmm longpork.

You're a very strange woman, Smeep.

I'd have added you on Steam already but I couldn't find you.

Discovered the Kingsoft office suite last night. Doubt I'm ever going back to MS, Libre, or Open Office. FYI to all: it's a worthy alternative if you don't want to pay for MS and get frusterated with Open/Libre's interface or load times.

Descan, you're on Bay12. It's a given that everyone here is strange in some way or another.

So I just came up with a basic little guitar melody while I was working on an exercise in a book I have. Transcribing it to sheet music so I don't forget it. May try recording it and layering it with the exercise as a backing bassline to see how the two contrast and sound together later.

Long story short, I'm doing music stuff. Basic music stuff, but music stuff nontheless. Only took me two weeks of being unproductive to get around to it.

Yugoslavia can into space first.

By complete coincidence, I've just discovered this video talking about this exact thing.

While Yugoslavia was definitely more advanced than one would think for such a small country (they had their own computer industry running and were working on supersonic fighter jet, amongst other things), while Noordung's work is without doubt extremely important for space science AND while it is known Tito was no stranger to secret underground bases... I personally think the idea mentioned video discusses is a bit unrealistic. Sadly, no news on the actual movie, if comments are to be believed SO WE WILL NEVER NOW IF YUGOSLAVIA COULD INTO SPACE FIRST! ILL-U-MINATI!

I saw Mosin gun and Adventure time reference around. All I could think of is the following:

Glorious. Absolutely glorious.

I'd like to watch this show so hard I've just spontaneously turned into a cruiser oh shit brb firing blanks on Winter palace

What's so strange about wanting to taste long pork? I know a couple forumites have expressed that wish previously.

[LordSlowpoke]

it's pretty stringy and you're going to get your day wrecked by prions

's about it though

I had a major panic attack from all the terrible things going on and now I'm sedated.....

I know it's the chemicals and that it's gonna be a major pain when it wears off, but it is a thing that is happening right at the moment. I might as well try to enjoy it? Is that the right phrase? I'm not certain. Probably not. O well. Please be extra sure not to quote this. Thank you for your consideration. 

The nurses really seem to actually like me though. They're smiling with their eyes (you know how with the starbucks smile there's that blank stare or faked look? Not there). And also they're spending more time with me than they have to, like they're taking their breaks with me and chatting a bit. I'm all popular with the ladies, except you know, the whole gay / only liking men thing. (shrugs). Meh.

It's a very odd feeling not caring about anything at all. I'm not as numb as I thought I would be under this type of chemically induced sedation thingy, but it's this feeling of calm. It's so very unfamiliar for somebody who constantly worries about everything, for themself and for others. I just don't care at all, and not in that sorta,"F*** everything, I don't give a S*** kinda way." Nothing has any meaning whatsoever, and nothing phases me one bit. I know there's no such thing as ... I dunno ... an alien or something, but if on some hypothetical example I could see one right in front of me, I would just waive nicely to him, her, it? Wouldn't phase me in the slightest. I'd try and talk to it, hoping english was a possibility or that there were those Star Trek universal translator things in play somehow, and I'd talk and have a conversation. Again keeping in mind I know that's not real etc, blah blah blah.

It's also a very different feeling from being drunk. Being drunk, at least for me makes me very lightheaded after enough. Not this. I feel oddly lucid, though perhaps I'm not? I dunno. Evidently I'm good company as I've made a new nurse friend or seven (7). I know I might be ever so embarrassed /sad when this wears off but in the meantime, wow.

Edit: in case you're wondering, some guy ran his car into mine. That's what caused it. I freaked out about it. They said he was drunk. Well, I have to turn off my phone, but they're really nice about it. O well, later.

[Gentlefish]

Good lord Truean, you're adorable when you're drugged.

[AlleeCat]

In my experience, most nurses are super nice. They actually care about people, which is kind of a must for the job.

[SalmonGod]

Glad you're ok, Truean.

[Descan]

I have a feeling the reason older nurses are less... kind (or so goes the stereotype), is because a) they've been through some shit, and b) the ones who ARE kind get burnt out from all the shit and leave before they get to "Old Nurse" levels.

[ChairmanPoo]

It depends. I've met old sensitive nurses and young callous ones. There's also burnout to consider, which is kind of cyclical, rather than age-related.
