I don't like being alone with my thoughts.  But it's inevitable in the course of a day.  So, like more days that I like to think about, I wound up alone with my thoughts while at work.  With one brief happy thought about something completely mundane reminded me of many other things, and thus ensued a three-hour unmoderated hatefest on myself by myself.  I've talked myself out of bringing it up here (kinda failed at that anyway I guess), but I'm starting to think I might need real help.

I used to do that all the time. Then I started taking medication for it, regular counseling helps too.

Holy shit, Kevin Rudd just got booted out and replaced by Julia Gillard. I don't know enough about it to make a thread about it, so quick, Australian members who keep abreast of current events, jump to it!

Poor guy looked like he was going to cry. That always makes me sad.

Grown men crying is balls.

Yeah, that made me sad too. I bet this'll hurt Labour come the election. I can feel it. And 'Rudd Government' was so much easier to say.

Hey, first female Prime Minister though. Now we have a Queen, a female Governor-General, and a female Prime Minister. Feminists rejoice.

Wonder if he'll quit politics now? Turnbull didn't when he got booted out as Opposition Leader, but who knows?

[RAM]

Hopefully it will be easier to make fun of Juliard's name. Rudd is just too easy. Meh, this is kind of huge, but I just don't care, the whole of politics is just so depressing that nothing really seems to change...

[Jackrabbit]

I don't think he's going to quit. He strikes me as a very committed man.

[Huesoo]

Slovakia why are you trying to stall so much? Italy your performance makes me sad.

Damn you Steam!!! You f***ing cowards.

Hello, 
 
A staff member has replied to your question: 
 
Hello ---,  Thank you for contacting Steam Support.  The purchase of multiple games with Visa ending in -**** has been  disputed. Your account has been locked due to the payment dispute. To  unlock your account, you will need to contact your bank and have the  bank withdraw the chargeback, cancel the dispute and return the funds  to Steam for this purchase. As soon as the chargeback dispute is  settled we will automatically reactivate your account and the disputed  game. If your bank is unable to withdraw the chargeback, we will need  them to fax an affidavit that clearly states that they are unable to  withdraw the chargeback and more importantly that the chargeback was  not due to the credit card being used fraudulently. Please have them  fax it to 425-952-2788 Attn: Fraud Department. Make sure that your bank  has included the phone number for their dispute department so that we  can verify the statement with them. Please reference this ticket  number, 7462-YUHB-2329 , on your cover letter. As soon as we can  confirm this information with your bank, we will review the situation  and try to get authorization to make an exception and reactivate the  account even though the chargeback is still pending. We understand that  this is an inconvenience, but we hope that you understand the logic of  our actions. We appreciate your patience with this issue. 

Is the simple route, or alternatives, just not an option anymore? Like I stated before, I talked this through with my bank, and their method (considering chargebacks caused by it) will cause some financial problems on my end. Plus, I've noticed that Steam has sent me a carbon-copy response. I got this exact same message last time I called them out.

EDIT:
In case I misread it, re-reading it, if they are asking me to have the bank just send the money back directly, then okay, it's not as bad as I thought. However, if it means undoing the affidavit I did when it first occurred, I'm in deep, and I don't know if I would get hit with interest and be slammed with a serious debt.

You know, original overdraft + calculated additional financial loss overtime for the past 6 months. ...Yeah.

When you read that message, what do you think they're asking me to do? Maybe I have been misreading it the entire time.

I sort of have the stages of grief going on during my 12 hour shifts. Coke and energy drinks seem to help it more than anti-anxiety, and anti-depressants seemed to only make me more tired. If you find a good way to fight it, tell us (or me).

On a completely awesome note, my Vicadin has a refill! I do believe my work weekends are going to be mellow and back-pain free.

I'll never gain a skill in my life and I can blame it on nothing.

Don't lose hope! I'm already Dabbling in life, you can do it too~!

[Hippoman]

No seriously.
My skill is playing video games.
Which I can't even do. I can't bring myself to play them.

Oh whatcha talking about you'll be fine you just gotta be cool.  I never thought of myself as a people person or anything, hold on I'm getting a yesterday thought back.

Alright, so yesterday I went to a major league baseball game, and I can say this now because no one is around, but I thought it was boring and not very entertaining at all.  In fact the most enjoyable thing there was the $6 small cup of Sprite!  We left at 3pm and didn't get there until 7pm, I sat in a train for 3 hours (which broke down once) and then rode the rest on a subway.  But that didn't bother me, I didn't complain at all.  Then we get there and you know, it wasn't even that fun.  I'm not interested in sports at all, but my Dad got tickets from his brother and he can't just go by himself, that would be a jerk move (getting to the point here).  Then you know the game ends and we have to take the 4 hour trip back, I can bet I said about 10 sentences the whole time from leaving to coming back home (I got home at like 3am, you can look at my post history or something because I'm a super geek that doesn't leave his house unless on professional business).

You want to know something?  Your mind is a bendable mold.  I didn't enjoy it, but who the hell cares because it was just great being there.  I was at Times Squares dude, I saw stuff I've never seen before.  I went on a train and subway for the first time.  On these public transportation I saw that New Yorkers are really nice people, I couldn't count the number of times I've seen someone get up or move for someone else.  My Aunt that came was having a hard time breathing so some lady noticed and gave her her water, my Aunt tried to pay for it but no she didn't want that.  They even gave her a foam finger from the game, because we didn't have time to buy anything (lucky us).  People are nice, anybody that is not deserves pity and new directions.

Same goes for a more get to know people public place called school.  Yeah I ain't that old, but who cares because you're awesome and I'm awesome.  There's no point in fighting, no point.  I have friends in school that talk to me, unimaginable two years early.  You want to know what changed this??  I STOPPED BEING MOPEY AND CYNICAL.  Oh my fucking god you won't believe what this does, my stress level has dropped to the fuckin floor.  I'm one chill dude guy and this doesn't effect your grades at all.  I actually think they improve my grades because that's what's happening to me dog.  I've been in high honors for three years now (my whole highschool life) and guess what?  Every year gets better, way way better.  Freshmen year?  Don't even know that dudes name, doesn't talk to anyone, seems like he hates me for being a human.  Sophomore year?  I know his first name, only talks to two or three people, nothing much really.  Junior year?  I pretty cool dude that has a odd sense of humor that doesn't make me feel scummy, just one funny guy.

You and me?  Fucking awesome.

My internet went down.
But it's good now, obviously, because I am the master of coax.

Again, I used to think like that before medication and therapy.
Prozac is some powerful stuff, man.
