I will just sit here, not at all bitter that the Union Jack kinda forgets my cold damp corner of the UK then...

A Union Jack with black instead of blue could represent both Wales and Cornwall.

Spoiler: Try this on for size. (click to show/hide)

Scorpion peppers while on antibiotics: Never again. I think I just lost 3 or 4 pounds over the course of 15 minutes, and I'm going to spend the rest of the day walking funny.

Oh, Bauglir. . . D:  I hope you feel better soon. . .

I'm just sitting here. Wearing stupid mask and dapper hat. Waiting for trick-or-treaters who won't be coming. Why?

Because it's pouring rain outside. But I'm still stuck here. By the door. Wearing stupid mask and dapper hat.

E: Stupid mask is tight, too. I've red marks all over my face from the damned thing.

Yeah, I went out after work, bought about $30 of candy, since I'm new to the area and have no idea how many kids will show up... And there is absolutely no one. I'm not sure whether it's because trick-or-treating is set for another night or just that I'm in a boring apartment complex consisting primarily of college students and older...

... Yeah, I'm pretty sure it isn't tonight. >_>
I now have several kg of candies.

Time to move to the happy thread with this.

You know, in my last year of medical school I was having lunch with some people from first year, who had an anatomy exam the following day. One of them joked that he hadn't studied because he was "the typical asshole who studied everything the night before and got full marks nonwithstanding". I chuckled at his joke, but while I was going upstairs to my room, I suddenly realized that I had said pretty much the same bullshit years prior when I was in his shoes, and thus, that he fucking meant it.
I took no pleasure seeing him go down in flames the next day. I knew that feeling, too.

The moral of the story is that you should probably aim to quit that attitude because the longer it takes you, the more it will hurt when the time comes. But then again, odds are that this is not a moral that can be learned without suffering it on your own skin. So take it as you like.

Yeah this was about 50 posts ago but I saw it on the same page as the end

I'm just getting over it and it's ruined my chances of National Student Exchange for next year. So I won't be able to go to Canada as soon as I liked.

These are probably the most depressing things I've seen all day.

Except, I'm an adult, and my taste buds have shifted away from super-sugary candies and towards good restaurant stuff. For the most part, I prefer going out and getting something good rather than devouring buckets of candy; and I'm at the point in my life where I have enough money to do so on a regular basis.

...what about those, I mean? They're just stuffed toys?

[Mr Space Cat]

...what about those, I mean? They're just stuffed toys?

Yo dawg, we heard you liked toys, so we made a toy you can stuff with your stuffed toys.

I dunno, the concept seems sleazy to me. "7 secret pockets to hide your toys?" Why would you need to hide your toys if you're a harmless kid?  Are you playing with fire and need to hide the burning or something? Are "toys" slang for illegal drugs and this product is actually an elaborate attempt to smuggle stuff around in a harmless looking scapegoat? Do the kids have inappropriate adult phallus-shaped toys they're playing with that they need to hide from their parents?

Why would the kids need this in the first place? If it's for carrying toys, why market it for "hiding" toys?

Also, that slogan for the company is "Enriching kids through the power of play." Potentially hiding things from your parents is enriching? There's something fishy with those toys. (Fisher-pricey? Ha, pun.)

Aaaand I procrastrinated so long that I might as well stop learning and save my test chance for a time when I am actually prepared to make the test.

In other words, all tests of this semester will have to be (re)done in the same two weeks I will have to make the tests of the next semester.
fuckfuckfuck I suck at studying :<

I guess I'll just assume future me will learn how to study sometime between now and the end of the next semester...

That IS sad. Okay, you may remain in the sad thread.

Urg. And I think some fruitflies must have hatched in my apartment. I really hope some spiders move in soon and clear these out.

Man, now there's spiders everywhere! I best get some house centipedes to clean them out.

Fruitflies. Ugh, how I hate those little assholes. I hate flies in general, but at least the big ones are easy to murderize if you hit them.

Throw out/hide in fridge/whatever all the fruit and nuts and check for any liquid containers and water droplets exposed to the air. Buy one of those anti-fruitfly tablet/plate thingies.
