I believe that counts as "has to be accurate." But you can still make up small things to personalize it. Do you at least remember what you sang?
Well yes, buts more of a How Do You Think You Did then What Did You Do.

And I am virtually incapable of critiquing people over singing.

Well, how specific do you have to get? If you know what you sang then you know what parts of the songs are tough. you can just say something like "haha yeah, i never can hold that f in blow me on down the mountain."

Well we're being marked on this so I'm trying to put lots of detail into it.

Well yeah, but I'm saying, you know where you have trouble (if you have trouble at all) in the songs. So just assume that on those parts you didn't perform as well as you could have. Or that you did well on any parts you are especially good at. Focus on your general performance and not the specific instance.

I dunno jack about singing, but I'd say something like "in jow-meney i did well with the verse, but that C7 to Gm7add9 in the chorus really messed me up, especially the first time."

Still counts as making shit up, though.

Curses.

One cup of tea at 11:30 and I'm wired some 9.5 hours later.  Guess I'm not drinking that brand, anymore, because it makes me crazy.

I'm intensely curious as to what brand this is, if only because I'm imagining one of those 5-hour energy commercials, except more along the lines of:

"NINE HOUR ENERGY! GIVES YOU ENERGY, NINE HOURS FROM NOW!"

I had to give up on Civilization IV: Colonization.  It's just too boring.  Micromanaging nightmare.  You have to micromanage food, ore, wood, leather, tools, weapons, sugar, rum, cloth, clothes, cotton, and more.  Most have to be shipped to Europe or to the Indians, while tools and weapons have to micromanaged around because they're used in important buildings and units.  You have to fiddle which units work which squares, and unit types can make the difference between a starving city and a well fed one.  And getting access to skilled blacksmiths, gunsmiths, and ore miners is 100% chance: you have to immigrate them from Europe, and if they aren't available at the time, you either buy out or fiddle with units again to get another randomly picked unit.  Sure, once you get one of each, you can start educating units into those fields, but until then, you've got nothing.

At least the Indians are good for educating units with fishing and farming :/

It was Stash chai tea.  I'll note that I'm also extremely sensitive to caffeine, so this may have just been my wonky internal chemistry acting up again.

Caffeine has no effect on me.
Only reason I drink coffee is because it tastes delicious.

Apathy. Total and complete. I just don't see a point for anything anymore even though I know I should. What's wrong with me?

Apparently I'm not as awesome as I thought I was.  My RL friends have kind of all run off.

I think it was Socrates who said that very few people that you meet will deserve to be called "friends", even if in general you get along with them fine.

Yeah, I was massively disappointed with Civ IV: Colonization, considering the original Colonization was solid. Check out FreeCol, an open source clone of the original.

Wait, is it actually playable now?  Because I saw that years ago and it looked like total vaporware.  If it's fully functional I will play the SHIT out of that game.
